CS: You are only 16 years old, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 342 Chopper: "You and Young are players of the same level!"

w0nderful adjusted the settings and started practicing shooting with satisfaction.

Just then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, he glanced at the creator he had set up—the guy on the other side of the stage.

Then I saw Jiang Yang take out a measuring ruler from his pants pocket and fiddle with it.

w0nderful's relaxed expression instantly turned tense again.

As a fan of Jiang Yang, he understood all too well what this meant.

This classic "measuring the sky" image signifies that Jiang Yang is about to increase the intensity!
This is going to be a tough battle... w0nderful thought to himself, and then coldly put on his headphones.

……

NIKO couldn't help but laugh as she watched Jiang Yang pick up the measuring tape.

Dude, that's a bit of an exaggeration!
There are quite a few measuring rods in the entire esports circle, and there's actually a reason behind them.

For professional gamers, the distance between the screen and their eyes, and the distance between their buttocks and the desktop, are like personal settings in the game, and it's definitely better to keep them fixed.

For example, if the table is too high, the edges will always make your arms feel uncomfortable. This discomfort will definitely distract the player and affect their performance in the game.

However, most professional players adjust based on intuition and are fine with it. Players like Jiang Yang, who record all kinds of data, are indeed more reasonable, but it seems a bit exaggerated.

Jiang Yang adjusted all the parameters to suit his needs best.

Then we entered the shooting practice map to quickly warm up.

He played for about two minutes, and then he saw War God NEO walk back.

“Chopper won’t work,” NEO said happily. “He can’t beat me at rock-paper-scissors.”

"Where's Coach Green Dragon?" Breath asked, sounding puzzled.

"I don't know, but they sent a chopper to represent them in rock-paper-scissors, and the chopper couldn't beat me at all," NEO said.

Jiang Yang nodded: "Then Chopper is indeed not suitable."

As they were talking, the referee handed them a tablet for BP (Browser/Banner) purposes.

Without hesitation, NEO removed the "Death Tower" designation.

Green Dragons are quite good at this map, and Falcon didn't prepare for it at all for this Major, so there's no way they'll release it.

Green Dragons acted quickly, also removing their fixed ban map right away. However, their fixed ban map was a bit peculiar: Inferno, one of the most classic maps in CS:GO.

Most teams' fixed ban maps are mostly unpopular maps because they don't want to spend too much effort on those maps. However, Green Dragon chose to take a different approach and removed a map that requires the most teamwork and proficiency.

“The Green Dragon is quite clever. Most of the CIS players are gunners, and their communication, teamwork, and item coordination aren’t that impressive. Since they’re not fighting in this small town, their weakest point is masked,” NEO analyzed.

"You can gain benefits from this style of play in the short term, but it will cause problems in the long run," Jiang Yang continued. "The shortcomings will eventually need to be corrected, and the areas where you play poorly need to be practiced."

If you want to win a Major championship or become a dominant team, you have to be a well-rounded player, or excel in one particular area.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the basics of combat: tactics, firepower, coordination, communication, research, and so on.

The simpler, the more powerful.

"For map one, we'll still lock in Anubis as usual." Breath turned to look at his teammates. They'd been practicing Anubis and Nuke quite a bit in the last two days, and they'd also discussed their draft strategy this morning. If the opponent allowed it, they'd prioritize Anubis, and then pick Nuke.

However, he still checked with his teammates.

Seeing this, Jiang Yang looked at NEO: "We will obey God's will! Father, are you still unsure?"

With a breath of white, the falcon locked onto Anubis as Figure 1.

After Falcon selected map one, four maps remained for Green Dragon to choose from: Desert City, Nuclear Crisis, Ancient Ruins, and Death Park.

"The Labyrinth or the Nuclear?" Patsi asked.

They are at a disadvantage against Falcons in terms of map pool, because the towers they are good at are always banned, which will affect their subsequent ban/pick phase.

The Green Dragons team primarily relied on their formidable firepower and superior teamwork to secure victories.

They often prioritize maps like the Maze, which are geared towards close-quarters combat, and see if they can use their three basic attacks to kill the enemy.

But the Falcons had just scored an impressive 16-1 in the Lost City yesterday, which made the Green Dragons a little hesitant. In their pre-match discussions, they considered Nuclear Crisis as an alternative.

Hearing his teammate's question, Chopper thought for a moment and replied, "Let's pick Nuke. Nuke is the map where Falcons have performed the worst. It will be much easier for us."

"The Falcon's tactical instructions on this map are not good. I will be able to outmaneuver the opponent by maneuvering them. As long as the Falcon's star player is running around on that map, it will be easy for them to score points on Nuke."

Patsi was full of questions about Chopper's idea of ​​using tactics to outmaneuver the Falcon's star players, but Chopper was right about one thing: at least for now, they didn't want to face the Falcon's Desert City.

Yesterday's Desert City in Falcon was truly terrifying.

After careful consideration, the Green Dragon ultimately chose the nuclear crisis as the first image.

After the first map was selected, the ban/pick speed of both sides immediately increased.

Both sides removed Death Park and Desert City respectively.

Ultimately, an ancient ruin was left as Figure 3.

The BP deal has officially ended, and the results are as follows:
Figure 1: Anubis

Figure 2: Nuclear Crisis

Figure 3: Ancient Ruins

Both sides entered the final pre-match preparations.

At Chopper's signal, the Green Dragons hugged each other, and as the captain, Chopper could clearly feel the tension in his teammates.

"Be confident, guys. We've done all the pre-match preparations. Today's BO3 will determine whether we advance to the championship group."

"I know that the other side is a group of powerful and terrifying monsters, but in my heart you are no less formidable."

Chopper looked at w0nderful: "You always feel that players of Young's level are unattainable. You said Young is your idol, but idols are not invincible. Remember our scrim against NAVI a while ago? Weren't you chasing after S1mple?"

w0nderful was delighted to hear this.

What chopper said is indeed true. They played some scrims with NAVI before the Major, and w0nderful was full of energy when facing his idol S1mple in several of those matches, chasing down and killing NAVI in the scrims.

“Young and S1mple are players of the same level, so w0nderful, you need to be confident.”

Upon hearing this, w0nderful realized that he had been too nervous today.

Because of his idol status, Jiang Yang might not be that amazing; he's just seeing things through a filter.

Chopper noticed the change in w0nderful's expression and patted him on the shoulder. "So don't feel pressured. Just play to your training level and make the whole arena cheer for you. That's enough!"

"..."

Chopper is trying to hypnotize his team members and has started using mystical methods.

w0nderful has been their key player lately, and Chopper understands that if they want to win, tactics are secondary; w0nderful's form is the most important thing.

However, they quickly returned to their seats, and then, amidst boos from the crowd for Falcon, the ten players officially entered the game server.

Falcons vs Spirit
Map: Anubis

T:w0nderful、chopper、Patsi、magixx、S1ren
CT:young、hooxi、NIKO、device、JKS
The game officially begins.

After the side selection was completed, JKS said with some surprise, "The Green Dragon chose offense?"

Although Anubis is an offensive-oriented map and a relatively rare "terrorist" map, most teams will choose the defensive side to get a feel for the game.

Green Dragon's choice was somewhat unexpected and disrupted Falcon's plans.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "For the pistol round, let's start with 311. Everyone should get half armor. Yang, you and Device, just get the information."

Breathing made a rather ladder-like start.

(Anubis map location, the third floor area can be replaced with B2 or Heaven)

Jiang Yang, carrying the USB drive, went straight to the middle lane and hung up.

In this round, device was playing solo at point B. At the start of the round, he went straight to the B door and scouted outside B with a spinning jump.

"I didn't see a rush outside B," the device reminded.

However, just as he was about to push forward, he discovered that there was one hidden in the corner of B tunnel. Without hesitation, the device jumped back.

"There's one person left outside B, probably a 41 split push," the device asked in the voice chat. "Any information about the underwater area?"

There was only one bandit outside B. Ah Tang wasn't afraid, but since he was guarding B alone, he would be in big trouble if someone came down from the water.

"I don't have any information here," Jiang Yang said.

Seeing this, he said, "Go out from point A and take a look."

With 3A heavy defense, he can't let a single defensive player withstand the pressure; 3A has to be implemented effectively.

They quickly processed all the information about Arch A, but didn't rush to push forward.

As his teammates pushed outwards, Jiang Yang also proactively peeked outwards from the mid-lane to gather information.

He slipped out of the VIP area and saw a bandit on the left side of the middle lane. He threw his USP, but missed the first shot. However, the second shot hit the opponent's head.

"Snapped!"

Young used a USP to headshot Patsi.

A firefight broke out in the middle lane, and the three players at A archway also began to push forward. However, the Green Dragon was very slow to take this round, as someone was making a default move on the terrorist stairs at the start.

JKS pulled out to the front and was immediately hit on the head.

When s1ren saw the enemy's main force surging out, he didn't dare to finish them off and immediately ran away.

"They've cleared point A! There are three of them here!" s1ren shouted in the voice chat. Chopper immediately gave the order to use the bomb to attack point B.

The bandits immediately engaged in combat based on the information they had obtained, and the entire Falcon crew also sprang into action.

Jiang Yang moved backward the moment he heard JKS call out the location.

The fact that the opposing team's A-side player hit JKS in the head but didn't seem inclined to follow up with a shot already tells a lot.

He just got a kill in the mid lane. The enemy team has no desire to push into the mid lane, so Old Tang is under a lot of pressure.

While pushing forward at point A, device wasn't idle either. He took the initiative to peek out from the dark room and coordinated with his teammates at point A to push forward, confirming that there was no one underwater.

But just as he finished scouting underwater, he turned around and saw a smoke grenade explode on the side of the bomb site. This smoke grenade was meant to block B's reconnaissance of B's ​​location.

"The bomb has exploded at point B!" Device shouted anxiously, but then he saw on the minimap that Jiang Yang had already rejoined the connection.

"You stay in the dark room, I'll help you pick some buns." Jiang Yang's voice gave him a great sense of security at that moment.

If it were during NIP, he might finish reporting the enemy positions before his teammates even started moving from the mid lane, but Jiang Yang's keen sense of smell always allowed him to arrive at the battlefield first.

The enemy had just unleashed their explosives and placed a smoke grenade in front of him. Jiang Yang jumped up and glanced at the information behind the smoke, keenly noticing a bandit leading the charge into the entrance.

Although the smoke grenade blocked his vision, Jiang Yang still found a rough aiming point by using other reference points nearby, and began rhythmically firing his USP at a position about a body length away from B door.

"Clap clap clap!"

As the fourth bullet was fired, Jiang Yang saw a kill notification appear in the upper right corner.

Young used his USP to headshot Chopper through smoke.

Meanwhile, good news also came from Hooxi, who remained outside of A.

[hooxi used a USP to headshot and kill s1ren]

w0nderful didn't understand what had happened. They were supposed to be rushing to B site and bombing, but how come he and magixx were the only two left after they got to the B door?

After Chopper was killed by the smoke grenade, Magixx fired a few shots at the smoke grenade, but not only did he not gain any advantage, he was also reduced to half health by bullets from the smoke grenade. This forced him to move forward and try to find an opportunity to engage in a direct gunfight.

He was aiming at the bomb site, hoping to catch Jiang Yang off guard, but he was completely unprepared for the dark room. Device easily seized the opportunity to kill him from the side.

After killing magixx, Jiang Yang, device, and NIKO, who had returned to defend, didn't care anymore and went straight out to fight w0nderful.

w0nderful本来陷入1v5的绝境之中，还在努力催眠自己：“我是S1mple，我是S1mple……”

Suddenly, he saw three CTs holding USPs in his field of vision, and his gunfight rhythm was instantly disrupted. He was then taken down by the Falcon's three generals.

"NICE!!"

When the score went from zero to one, Device shouted and looked at Jiang Yang: "Thumbs up for your speed in getting back on defense, it was just in time."

If Jiang Yang hadn't arrived in time to stall for time, the opposing team would have occupied the bomb site and several gun positions near the CT spawn, and the pistol round would have been in serious trouble.

But once he gets back in position, a perfect crossfire is created, and then you can play a beautiful CS game.

Jiang Yang just smiled, but noticed that the person next to him was breathing heavily and couldn't suppress the sound of his mouth.

Why are you laughing so happily?

Breath replied, "I just caught an amazing timing; I and s1ren on the platform missed it perfectly."

"But missing him wasn't the key point. The main thing was that I caught him from behind. I was afraid I would miss when I saw him from behind, so I aimed at him for 5 seconds and let him come down from the platform and stand still before I fired at him."

He laughed as he spoke, realizing that his actions were somewhat abstract.

"When s1ren went to review the game afterward and saw my play, he probably wanted to uninstall the game."

He laughed and said, "Luckily, I didn't miss just now, otherwise it would have been quite a spectacle."

Jiang Yang continued, "Alright, we've secured God's kill share for today. Now the pressure is on the four of us."

"Stop messing around!" Breathing was now gradually able to understand NIKO's feelings.

The second round begins.

Back to the main topic, Accountant Tang reminded everyone, "We got an ACE in the pistol round, so Green Dragon will most likely have a pure eco round."

Breath turned to Jiang Yang and said, "Then don't bother with the long spear. Go out with the MP9 and look for an opportunity?"

“Sure!” Jiang Yang readily agreed. He figured he might as well take the special forces authority given to him by the commander.

He didn't even get hit by a bullet in the pistol round, and spent 350 dollars to upgrade his full armor and then bought an MP9.

Jiang Yang looked at his position and had already devised a strategy for this point in his mind.

"Breathe, throw me a smoke grenade on the terrorist staircase at the start of the game, and I'll sneak straight from the dark room into the water."

Since the goal is to become a special forces soldier, one cannot stay at the back and wait for an opportunity; one must advance and find the other side to fight.

Jiang Yang, who had just bought the exclusive weapon, was itching to fight.

After the countdown ended, Jiang Yang slashed his knife and ran wildly into the dark room.

Breathing was like throwing a smoke bomb at Jiang Yang, a smokescreen for the bandit staircase.

After Jiang Yang stepped into the dark room, he pulled out and aimed at the left hand at the end of the underwater path.

Stepping underwater in a dark room with only an MP9 in his hand still carries a certain degree of risk.

But with the cover of the bandit's smoke screen, the bandit lost the gun position that posed the greatest threat to him.

He didn't see anyone at his target, so he kept walking and went straight to the underwater trough, where he first set up a dog hole in the middle.

Once he arrived at this location, he was no longer in a hurry.

Because he can help the opponent whether they want to attack the mid lane or attack the A lane.

Just then, NIKO, who came over to take a look at what was underwater, became the unlucky guy. He was killed by W0nderful, who was holding a Desert Eagle in the smoke from the bandit's staircase.

w0nderful's shot turned NIKO into Hyuga NIKO, causing him to roll his eyes in the stands.

At such a distance, with smoke grenades obscuring the view, w0nderful still didn't have a precise aiming point. Isn't this pure luck?
After w0nderful got the kill, chopper started moving towards the dark room, trying to pick up NIKO's spear.

But he never expected that someone was already hiding in the underwater trough.

The moment Jiang Yang saw Chopper appear, he opened fire with his MP9, the bullets mercilessly striking Chopper's head, converting him into 600 gold in kill currency.

"Da da!"

Young used an MP9 to headshot and kill Chopper.

After successfully securing a kill, Jiang Yang continued to push forward.

The devices on the central bridge also came out to help under the cover of smoke grenades.

Jiang Yang, carrying his MP9, started walking towards the bandit staircase. He looked around carefully and didn't see any enemies before quietly advancing up the stairs.

At that very moment, s1ren on the diving platform glanced underwater again but didn't see any CTs.

He was unaware that he had once again missed a very serious timing issue.

Jiang Yang carried the MP9 and slowly made his way up the stairs. He climbed up the stairs and suddenly saw two bandits double-teaming at the entrance of the bridge. He pulled the angle up a little and saw another bandit on the right side of the bridge!
At that moment, Jiang Yang seemed to hear his cousin Ma Xixi's voice in his mind: "We're rich!"

Jiang Yang pushed forward with his MP9, intending to make money with knives, but the home crowd wasn't having it.
Various strange cheers began to rise, forcing Jiang Yang to open fire the moment he turned around.

Three bullets from the MP9 instantly killed one of them, and Jiang Yang then engaged two more bandits at a distance.

With the MP9 as its signature weapon, control the distance and use short bursts at close range. Although the MP9 is a submachine gun, its accuracy is not low.

He scored another goal with a short burst, but w0nderful, having dismounted, hurriedly fled.

Jiang Yang tried to engage him head-on, but then bullets came from behind him, forcing him to fight back.

But just as he turned around, the sound of a Desert Eagle gun rang out from behind him.

“My cousin MP9 has already taken down three, is there any chance of him getting an ACE?” Ma Xixi said. “The others will definitely give him opportunities to farm gold.”

But as soon as Ma Xixi finished speaking, w0nderful, who had escaped, seemed to unleash a primal force, peeking out and shooting Jiang Yang in the back of the head.

"There's nothing we can do about it. w0nderful took out my cousin with one shot, but my cousin's mission is complete. He took out three people with his MP9, so this was a huge win for him."

"w0nderful was quickly pushed out and eliminated by device, but on point A! Sigh! Patsi is still on the jump platform. He went straight to A with the bomb. There's really no one on point A now, so he has a chance to plant the bomb."

Ma Xixi analyzed, "You know what, if S1ren were to drop a bomb, they wouldn't be at such a loss."

S1ren went directly to bomb site A and planted a bomb.

This round is quite good for the Green Dragon.

They were initially playing a pure eco round, with an average economy of around 4400 in the third round. However, after planting a bomb, their average economy jumped to 5200, enough for a full-armor, full-ammo rifle round.

S1ren only had a Glock, and he tried his best to operate it.

JKS, who had returned to defend, was holding an MP9 and gave him no room to maneuver. A burst of fire directly turned him into a number on the stat sheet.

While unpacking, JKS felt a little guilty: "My bad, I shouldn't have put some in."

Breathing said, "It's a minor issue. As long as we can secure this point safely, that's fine."

It's normal to make mistakes, but as long as you don't lose points, it's not a big problem.

The green dragon successfully dropped the bomb, blasting them with a huge amount of rice.

But they weren't bad off either; they lost two MP9s, which they used to switch weapons during the long-range rifle round.

So he didn't care about breathing, not to mention that in the last round, the world's strongest ECO God of War got three kills, and his economy had quietly reached an astonishing 6550 gold.

The weapon that can be obtained with 6550 coins will definitely surprise the Green Dragon!
