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

Chapter 351 Z-shaped shaking?
(Daily transition)
The Legends Group competition is in full swing.

Falcon has been working hard to adjust and adapt in the rest room these past two days. He has successfully adapted to the strategy of using Device as the main sniper. As long as the opponent targets him, this tactic can be used immediately and will definitely confuse the opponent.

On the final day of the Legends Group competition, all sorts of harsh realities began to emerge.

"I never expected Faze to be eliminated from the Legends Group with a 0-3 score."

NIKO has been talking about this for a long time.

"They are the favorites to win the championship!"

He still has a deep affection for the FaZe clan. NIKO thinks that if he and Karrigan had won all the finals they lost, he might still be wearing a FaZe jersey now.

Faze has been in great form recently; they are the only team in this Major to have put Falcons in a precarious situation.

NIKO genuinely felt that he might face Faze again in the finals, but he didn't expect Faze to suddenly underperform in the Legends group, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

"Their draw wasn't very good either." JKS, who was also a player for Faze, felt some regret about Faze's elimination.

Faze's opponents over the past three days have been BNE, Vitality, and ENCE, but they haven't won a single match.

Coach NEO calmly replied, "Faze actually had a pretty good draw. It's just that they were upset by BNE on the first day. The draw gave them a chance, but they couldn't hold on afterward. Who's to blame?"

"Opportunities are seized by oneself."

NIKO fell silent, because NEO's words were like a microcosm of his professional career.

He was given several opportunities, but he never managed to seize them.

From Boston to Stockholm, opportunities have slipped through NIKO's fingers.

"But I really didn't expect the Little Bees to be eliminated." Jiang Yang thought the Little Bees' lineup was very good, and even in his expectations, the final match was between the Falcon and the Little Bees.

In the entire Legends group, the only win by the Little Bees was against Faze.

They unfortunately lost to NAVI, Mouz, and VP.

In the home game, the team failed to perform as expected and faltered.

This one move caused him to face immense public criticism throughout the community.

Jiang Yang felt that the community's requirements for carrying goods were a bit excessive.

NAVI ultimately advanced successfully. They defeated the Little Bees in the first round, unfortunately lost to C9 in the second round, and were crushed by Liquid, led by Jiang Yang's old teammate Ultraman, in the third round.

These matches were all long and painful for NAVI. Just when everyone thought NAVI would be eliminated with a painful score, NAVI fought back from the brink of elimination and defeated BNE and BIG in the next two BO3s to successfully advance to the championship group.

The scene in the Legends Group was so chaotic that the number of teams that ultimately advanced exceeded many expectations.

With the championship group competition about to begin, the teams that will be able to stand on the big stage are:
The Falcon, propelled by three horses simultaneously...

The Black Panthers, the only seeded team playing on home soil...

God and his four followers...

FNATIC, a classic and long-established powerhouse...

Idea Guy and his four portions of ingredients...

S1mple leads the born winners...

Mouz, led by siuhy...

C9, led by Nafany...

The final eight teams that advanced were somewhat unexpected, but this Rio Major was actually quite interesting.

The fierce competition ultimately eliminated all teams with poor individual skills, ineffective tactics, poor communication, failed to adjust their form, weak performance offline, and poor mentality.

The teams that are still in the championship group don't have any particularly prominent weaknesses.

Faze and Little Bee were eliminated from the Legends group one after another, extinguishing NIKO's slightly inflated ambitions.

The opponents in the championship group are all tough nuts to crack... NIKO's mood wasn't so pleasant when he thought about the upcoming matches.

He glanced at Jiang Yang, who was engaged in a fierce battle not far away, and asked curiously, "Why aren't you live-streaming?"

He knew that Jiang Yang quite liked to do live streams, and occasionally chatting with netizens was a way for Jiang Yang to relieve stress.

Jiang Yang is under too much pressure right now, and he always wants to help Jiang Yang relieve some of it.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang, who was engaged in a fierce battle, took off his headphones. "I've recently had some epiphanies and am experimenting with new tactics."

Jiang Yang's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

"What kind of playing style?" NIKO asked curiously.

During the competition and training, they were amazed by Jiang Yang's gaming intelligence many times, and they are still very curious about Jiang Yang's discoveries and research.

Jiang Yang explained, "The main thing is that there are some new ideas for quick stops and positioning, which will make some changes when shooting rifles."

Having learned Donk's emergency stop technique, Jiang Yang had been adapting to it in the deathmatch for several days.

His basic skills were already very solid, and he quickly achieved results after taking the time to adapt.

Jiang Yang thought for a moment and explained, "It's probably because facing a gun head-on would be more violent."

This energized the others in the team even more.

A group of people crowded around to look at Jiang Yang's screen, and Jiang Yang started to demonstrate his skills to his teammates.

After racking up 10 kills in a row, Jiang Yang turned around and asked, "Got it?"

JKS and Breath exchanged a glance and both laughed. "Is there a difference?"

They felt that Jiang Yang's personal perspective was as exaggerated as ever, even in this professional-level deathmatch uniform, it was quite different.

NIKO, a professional rifleman, noticed something amiss: "Their movement frequency in close quarters is higher?"

"Yes! It's about constantly adjusting your position within a small area to achieve the best gunfight stance." Jiang Yang thought for a moment, "Even if I explain it this way, you won't really get the feel for it."

Jiang Yang left the deathmatch map and created a custom room, saying, "Let's experience a match."

NIKO immediately said with great interest, "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Jiang Yang refused without hesitation, "No, you can't be facing me. My fighting style puts me at a disadvantage against you."

When Jiang Yang first started out, he learned NIKO's aiming style of play.

He found that using this method against donk resulted in a very high win rate in gunfights.

NIKO's pre-aiming and pre-firing method means that if the pre-aiming is correct, he basically has no chance to fight back.

Now that he's switched to a playstyle similar to Donk's, he'll definitely struggle against Old Ni, so he has little desire to engage in gunfights with Old Ni.

NIKO didn't understand why Jiang Yang said he would be at a disadvantage in a matchup, but he did as he was told.

Jiang Yang directly pulled NEO, hooxi, JKS, and device into the server.

He himself was alone on one side.

The map was Desert City, and Jiang Yang immediately started the game.

It's a custom room, with the economy set to the maximum of 16000. Jiang Yang bought a fully armored AK.

"No need to give you any equipment. Just find gun positions in Area A and defend. I'll push from the front." Jiang Yang gave a small restriction in advance.

It was already a 1v3 situation, and if they added some items, Jiang Yang would be outmatched.

NIKO chimed in from the side, "Yang might even push it through the archway!"

Upon seeing this, the other four members of the team quickly searched for gun positions in area A.

NIKO watched as Jiang Yang headed towards the middle, preparing to advance through the archway.

In a 4-on-1 defensive match, the defenders were under little pressure and played very relaxed.

JKS scored this point standing on the diving platform, constantly peeking towards the A2 building.

After not seeing anyone emerge from Building A2 within the expected timeframe, he retreated and began peeking through the archway.

The moment he peeked through the archway, he saw Jiang Yang standing there with an AK-47 on the side of the archway closest to the sandbags.

JKS had already aimed at Jiang Yang's position, and immediately made a slight adjustment to his crosshair to chase after Jiang Yang.

Then he saw Jiang Yang sit down on the sandbag and start firing his AK47.

JKS pulled the crosshair to chase, and saw that he had stood up again.

"Da da da!"

Young killed JKS with an AK47

JKS raised an eyebrow, suddenly understanding what Jiang Yang meant by "enlightenment." From his perspective, Jiang Yang's actions were quite strange.

He fired a burst of bullets at Jiang Yang, but Jiang Yang didn't get a headshot. In the end, it seems he only managed to hit Jiang Yang once.

Jiang Yang, like something out of an American blockbuster, skillfully dodged JKS's bullets with his superior movement. JKS was curious whether Jiang Yang's gunfight was a coincidence or if he had actually figured something out.

NIKO, standing behind Jiang Yang, became increasingly interested.

After Jiang Yang took down JKS, he used the height difference of the archway steps to directly aim at the long box.

Devive was positioned behind the long crate, holding an A1. After confirming Jiang Yang's location, he didn't give Jiang Yang a chance to engage in a gunfight.

From his position, if he were to peek at Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang would only show his head, while he would have to expose his entire body. Jiang Yang could even exchange shots with him and kill him.

Therefore, the device chose to let Jiang Yang push forward for a while before causing trouble for him.

He waited patiently for a moment before peeking out from the right side of the long box.

The evil Dane seized a good moment; he saw Jiang Yang standing just before emerging from the archway, and Jiang Yang also spotted the device at the same time.

The two men immediately engaged in a firefight after noticing each other.

Device raised his gun and opened fire, but only saw Jiang Yang crouch down on the right and search back towards the boxes inside the archway. Device followed up with a burst of fire, and the sound of a headshot rang out.

Device felt he had made a slight mistake in this move, as he was a bit slow to follow up with the shot.

NIKO and JKS exchanged a glance, and NIKO spoke up, "The director's survival-oriented gunfight strategy?"

He sensed some of the players' styles in him, but wasn't sure.

After getting the kill, Jiang Yang continued to push forward. He was originally there to show his teammates his new technique, so his playstyle was quite aggressive. He pushed forward directly from under the platform.

As he moved forward, he saw NEO, who was standing next to the short box, come out and take a look.

During the advance, Jiang Yang moved sideways, pressing W and D throughout.

The moment Jiang Yang saw NEO, he released WD, lightly pressed S, and then crouched down and pressed A.

NEO only swayed this time, and his body control was good. Jiang Yang immediately tried to shoot through the box with recoil control.

After pulling back and losing angle, he releases the crouch and simultaneously pulls the angle to the right with WD, then lightly taps S to stop. While maintaining low ground speed, he maintains constant recoil control and spraying throughout.

NEO tried to repeek out after swaying back, but Jiang Yang swept him completely.

The police officer's hooxi was only just pulled out horizontally at this moment. Jiang Yang pulled the gun barrel over, but this time the hooxi aimed very accurately and shot Jiang Yang in the head with an A1.

Hooxi grinned from the players' bench: "You guys aren't good enough. Looks like I'm the strongest firepower in Falcons!"

Device nodded seriously: "Otherwise, why do you think you can command a few of us?"

He suddenly burst into laughter.

Jiang Yang didn't care about this; it was just a gunfight demonstration.

JKS then returned to the main topic, considering for a moment: "Yang, are you using the director-style gunfight?"

"Director-style gunfighting" refers to a director's operational habits when engaging in gunfights.

When the director is firing, he likes to crouch and pull towards the side of cover to fire.

Use cover to increase your chances of winning gunfights.

He had just seen the obvious shadow of the 'director's' playing style from Jiang Yang's perspective.

Basically, every time Jiang Yang engaged in a gunfight, he would move towards cover.

NIKO thought for a moment, "It seems there's something else. The director's gunfight mode doesn't rely heavily on the directional keys."

The director's gunfight method only requires his left hand to hold down A/D and crouch, but Jiang Yang's left hand operation frequency is too high, making the keyboard clatter loudly.

Jiang Yang said, "You all come to the middle lane, and I'll explain to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone moved to the middle lane.

Jiang Yang said, "My fighting style does have elements of the director's gunfight tactics, but the main thing is to use cover to avoid damage and increase the win rate in gunfights."

After arriving in the middle lane, Jiang Yang stood to the right of the sandbag and demonstrated a move to his teammates.

JKS and the others stood in the middle lane, watching Jiang Yang make his moves.

"The main point is to engage in gunfights at a low ground speed, making it difficult for the opponent to hit my head," Jiang Yang explained.

Jiang Yang started demonstrating to his teammates a series of moves: peek to the right, pull back to the left, crouch, and then crouch while sweeping to the right.

"Try to watch the movement of my head."

Jiang Yang demonstrated it again.

NIKO took a breath. "The Z-shape is shaking?"

He now understood the key reason why Jiang Yang's gunfight was so strange: Jiang Yang was constantly moving throughout the entire gunfight.

JKS and device are both quite good at head-on gunfights, but their habit of instinctively chasing the head during gunfights resulted in them failing to land many shots.

"Let's try a gunfight," device said, getting excited.

Jiang Yang also used this gunfight tactic to pull out and engage the device in a direct confrontation.

Jiang Yang certainly couldn't take them all down by himself, but a head-on gunfight was indeed much more terrifying.

From Device and the others' perspective, Jiang Yang simply peeked out and crouched down, and they were all killed.

"So how exactly does it work?" JKS asked Jiang Yang.

As a professional player who wasn't particularly gifted, he always tried to learn from others and strive to become stronger.

Jiang Yang explained, "It involves using forward, backward, left, and right movements, combined with crouching, to keep your head in constant motion, making it impossible for the opponent to hit your head."

"Combining the Director's survival-oriented playstyle with this technique has increased my win rate in gunfights. I've combined these two skills."

NIKO then asked curiously, "Then why won't you let me try it out?"

“Your style of play is to pre-aim and then move horizontally,” Jiang Yang said. “My style of play is usually to find someone to engage in a gunfight with. If you pre-aim and engage in a gunfight with me, I can’t move at all.”

NIKO's aim was too good; he anticipated Jiang Yang's move, leaving him no chance to move.

"It's like rock-paper-scissors. NIKO, your pre-aiming style of play is a perfect counter to my style of play."

Jiang Yang reminded him, "I don't think you need to change, NIKO. Your gunfighting habit is pre-aiming. You've already reached the pinnacle of a certain style, so there's absolutely no need for you to change. The main issue is that your reaction time isn't as fast as mine, so you won't benefit much from it."

NIKO: "The last sentence is not necessary, thank you."

He's definitely not as quick-witted as he was in his prime anymore; this is a debuff that comes with getting older.

"So how exactly does it work?" JKS asked.

Everyone gathered around Jiang Yang's computer and began to watch his operation. "It's quite simple. First, lightly touch the crouch button, and then peek out. When you pull out, your head will move in a wavy line."

"After pulling out, crouch to one side of the cover, and your head will pull back in a '/' shape. Then crouch out of the cover and start firing, and your head will twist in a 'Z' shape."

Jiang Yang explained, "During the process, you need to constantly slow down the ground speed by gently retreating based on your position, in order to maintain the accuracy of your shooting."

Jiang Yang then gave another demonstration, and then said with a smile, "You see, it's pretty simple, isn't it?"

He turned his head and saw that the other five people in the room were all silent.

Device laughed, looking at JKS pointing at Jiang Yang, "He calls this simple."

Jiang Yang's left hand must have been twitching when he was doing that!

You call this simple?

NEO patted JKS on the shoulder, "Sometimes having too much room for advancement can also be a problem."

"Those of you who are interested should study hard and see if you can adapt."

NEO didn't insist on this novel playstyle, since it seemed quite difficult to execute.

But everyone in the Falcon crew started trying it out.

The main point is that Jiang Yang's gunfight strategy isn't unusual; it's just that it involves a small amount of body positioning control, which is different from the mainstream approach. Even if you don't learn it, losing it won't have much of an impact.

With little time left before the start of the championship group, everyone at Falcon is doing their best to become stronger, even though they are in pretty good shape.

You can enter the championship group, and whether you are eliminated or not will be decided within three hours. Even one more kill can affect the final outcome of the match.

Neither of them wanted to let go of this opportunity that was already within their grasp.

At that moment, NEO received a food delivery call, and he opened the door to go out and pick up the package.

The moment I stepped out the door, the doors to the other training rooms on the same floor were tightly shut.

I imagine they're making the same efforts, and the pressure must be immense.
