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

Chapter 360: Netizens' imaginations are still too limited.

"I'll test it!!"

At 5 a.m., a customer holding a steamed bun made an incredulous sound in the breakfast shop.

"I was just looking down to eat a steamed bun, how come all of C9 died?"

"What happened?"

Jiang's father recalled what had just happened, pondered for a moment, and pointed at Jiang Yang on the screen, saying, "He wiped out everyone at point B next to the pillar."

The young customer in front of him immediately had a big question mark on his face. He thought that the breakfast shop owner must have some kind of comprehension problem.

The director then showed a replay of the kill, and the young customer saw Jiang Yang circling around the pillar at bomb site B.

"Well, no problem."

The young customer said he was convinced.

"C9 is really out of options. 4 against 1 and my cousin just spun around and wiped us out. How can you play the game like that! After hitting the sandbag, he turned around and killed the enemy behind him. Did you really press the side button?"

He kept complaining while looking at his phone, but his tone was full of admiration for Jiang Yang.

An average player can pull off some amazing plays in ranked matches, but a highlight like Jiang Yang's is so outrageous that it's the kind of play that needs to be made into a QR code and engraved on a tombstone.

But the most outrageous thing is that Jiang Yang couldn't even make it into the top 5 in his professional career this year.

"This amusement park map was originally C9's strong map, but now that my cousin has messed it up, it's questionable whether C9 can even get a minimum score," he couldn't help but comment.

Although he wasn't a professional, just an ordinary CS:GO player, his trust in Falcon led him to make this judgment.

And that proved to be true.

Jiang Yang's 1v4 situation in this localized battle had a huge impact on the game.

The Falcon members' firepower has improved to a new level, allowing them to play more freely on the defensive end. They actively push forward to find opportunities and frequently gain an advantage in head-on gunfights.

C9's offense became scattered, with players attacking their own areas. Coupled with their losing streak, they had to constantly switch between half-court and long-range attacks, making it even more difficult for them to score.

In the later rounds of the first half, only in the thirteenth round did C9 manage to secure a point thanks to sh1ro's brilliant triple kill breakthrough in B site.

At the end of the first half, the score on the big screen was 13-2.

Seeing this, the English commentators couldn't help but remark, "Death Park is a map that leans towards defense, but the defending side doesn't have that much of an advantage."

"After taking two points on the attack, C9 is under immense pressure after switching sides. Now it all depends on how well they perform in the next pistol round."

He put it rather tactfully, but based on experience, if C9 finishes this pistol round in the second half, then today's match is practically over.

In the CSBOY live stream, Ma Xixi focused her attention on Jiang Yang, and the director then showed the results of the first half.

As the focus of the amusement park in the first half, Jiang Yang delivered the best performance of the game, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

ID: young
Kills/Deaths: 29/6
Average damage per game: 186.2
Rate of not giving things away for free: 93.3%
The moment the halftime score was announced, Ma Xixi couldn't help but joke, "This amusement park really gave my cousin a great time in the first half, and it was also a great show for us."

"In the first half, C9 was completely dominated by their cousin, he just controlled it and ruled it," Ma Xixi commented. "The only two points they got were both won by sh1ro's individual ability. You can see how ridiculous their record is."

[What's with 29 kills? That's almost two kills per round??]

[Netizens' imaginations are still too limited; the concept geniuses on Zhihu seem so weak when applied to my cousin.]

[My cousin once again surpassed Xixi's height using ADR (Advanced Personality Ranking).]

[Here's a scary story: my cousin's KD ratio is higher than Hobbit's game injury rate.]

[Wasn't it said that he would be the one to shine in the offline finals? How come this cousin who made it to the quarterfinals has suddenly evolved?]

“C9’s head has really been smashed by his cousin,” MO said. “His cousin has a consistent way of winning over C9. Several times when C9 faced his cousin, he was beaten so badly that he couldn’t even breathe.”

"Now it all depends on how the pistol round goes in the second half. If C9 can win the pistol round, then they still have a chance to make a move."

"If the pistol round can't be taken, then..."

MO didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew the outcome.

After a brief two-minute break, the second half of the game officially began.

With the situation looking very favorable, the breathing command became simpler: "JKS, you throw out a P250 with me, then you buy smoke and flashbang, and I'll buy a fireball."

"For this point, we plan to launch a quick push and bombing at point A, then group up to finish off the enemy and push straight through."

I understand now. My teammates are on fire today, so there's no need to make the tactics too complicated.

Jiang Yang and NIKO each got a P250. After the countdown ended, Falcon started driving the train towards the terrorist's location.

Just as a group of people arrived at the enemy's position, they suddenly saw a CT appear at the middle lane entrance.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

[NIKO+device used a P250 to headshot and kill sh1ro]

"Sh1ro took the initiative to scout the enemy's position using his positional advantage, but the Falcon's firepower was a bit too much!!" Ma Xixi laughed. "Sh1ro only took one look, but Tom and Niko each took him down with a headshot."

Amidst gasps of surprise from the crowd, sh1ro raised his right hand, clenching his fist in pain.

Is the intensity of the gunfight really that high?

He's been cautious enough; he won't even let me glance at the information?
Because of his own actions, sh1ro once again put the team in a disadvantageous position, and he felt extremely guilty.

……

"Great shot!!" Hush shouted with a laugh. "Go go go! Charge straight ahead from A main and A small, unleash a simultaneous attack and take over area A!"

Having already secured a numerical advantage, he didn't plan to use any fancy tricks. Simple items to create space on the battlefield, followed by direct gunfights, would suffice.

Jiang Yang took the P250 and headed to A site. If there were defenders at A site, his P250 would be extremely useful and would be crucial in the gunfight.

The other four players started their advance from the middle lane.

"The Falcon who got the kill started to speed up, but C9's formation is good in this round. They placed two CTs in the sewers, and there is still room for maneuver."

"Ah Le didn't rush to attack. He listened to the footsteps and let one person pass, then pulled out his USP and opened fire! The USP took down one person, but Niko's reaction was outrageous. He turned around and slapped Ah Le to death!"

"Hobbit didn't rush to finish off the enemy, which foreshadowed a future development: no one was watching the sewers anymore!"

By betraying his teammates, Hobbit bought himself a timing opportunity, quietly following the bandit group as they slowly made their way forward from A-school.

He followed at a leisurely pace, searching for the location of the third bandit so that he could wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

But just as he saw the third bandit, the bandit closest to him suddenly turned around abruptly!

The Hobbit had no choice but to start attacking.

This directly disrupted Hobbit's rhythm. In the hasty opening of fire, he only managed to take down one enemy before being killed by the bandits who turned back.

JKS used a Glock to headshot and kill Hobbit.

A look of pain appeared on Hobbit's doll-like face. "Why did you suddenly turn your head!"

In the face of continuous headwinds, he forgot that this was JKS's most classic technique: turning his head three times in one second.

However, just as he was regretting that he had lost the gunfight, his two teammates at point B had already arrived.

Nafany was pulled out of the sewer and immediately began firing wildly at the two thugs in A.

His aim this time was quite accurate; just three bullets were enough to blow the heads off both bandits in front of him.

"nafany and interZ have caught the terrorists at A small, so now it's a 1v2 situation, and the bomb has already been dropped at A small!"

"nafany and interZ instantly teamed up to finish off the enemy. They were unsure of their cousin's location and planned to find a position to guard the bomb."

Faced with this 1v2 situation, Jiang Yang, who was in top form, felt no psychological pressure. He sprinted all the way to the bomb site, then turned around and peeked out at A.

His solution to this endgame was simple—just kill all the opponents.

This is just a simple 1v2 situation.

Jiang Yang pulled away from the familiar billboard and saw two tiny heads appear in his field of vision. He crouched down to avoid the line of fire, simultaneously aiming his crosshair at the enemy's head and rhythmically firing his P250. One shot, two shots, three shots.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Young used a P250 to headshot and kill nafany.

[young used a P250 to headshot interZ]

"Two C9s instantly teamed up to take down my cousin, but my cousin pulled out a P250, shot one down, and then instantly killed the other!!"

Ma Xixi laughed loudly, "Although it's a 1v2 endgame, the two sides' combat strength seems to be on different levels. Even though my cousin is outnumbered, he still manages to engage in gunfights with the other side."

"But what troubles C9 the most is that they just can't beat their cousin!!"

The C9 voice channel was completely silent.

In what was originally a 2v1 situation, a glimmer of hope emerged in their hearts. If they could win this pistol round, the score would most likely reach 13:6.

Hope remains slim, but isn't there still a glimmer of hope?

In a 2-on-1 situation, they were instantly killed by Jiang Yang, who pulled them out.

This feeling of despair made their hands tremble.

When Nafany saw the helpless and lifeless eyes of his teammate, it was more painful than beating him up.

sh1ro felt incredibly guilty, thinking, "It's my fault. If I hadn't been instantly killed, our formation wouldn't have been so scattered this round, and we could definitely have defended this point."

sh1ro took the initiative to take responsibility, while nafany just clenched his fist and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If we really lose today, it's just that the five of us didn't play well. It's that Gambi...Cloud9 didn't play well, not that sh1ro didn't play well."

He was frustrated that the situation had turned out this way, and even more furious at sh1ro's attempt to take all the blame upon himself.

They are a team; when they win, they share the spoils of victory, and when they lose, they share the consequences of defeat.

Instead of assigning blame during the game.

Even if they didn't play well, it was still wrong in Nafany's mind. As the captain of Cloud, he wouldn't accept it!
Nafany's attitude made the C9 team feel comfortable, but in the next round, everyone opted for eco, and unsurprisingly, C9 lost points again.

The score is now 15-2.

"C9, facing adversity, ultimately chose to use an ECO round to adjust their economy and make a desperate attempt at match point!"

"Falcon's team was using a standard 3-1-1 default setup, focusing their map control on B site. However, C9 lost this point due to a long-range fireball. Breath sensed this was a great opportunity and immediately ordered the team to push forward with silence."

"But the next moment, Nafany flashed, and sh1ro came over with the A1 and immediately counter-farmed!!"

"Great flashbang, great guy! sh1ro unleashed a top-tier barrage of fire, wiping out all the terrorists pushing through Longpipe in one burst!! sh1ro is like a god of war in Longpipe right now!!"

On camera, the C9 players were incredibly excited after the triple kill; for them, this was a rare and advantageous start.

Now that they've secured a triple kill, they can finally score points again.

Although the score difference was too large and many C9 players felt that the game was over, they still mechanically held onto a sliver of hope for the outcome.

After a triple kill, sh1ro gripped the mouse even tighter. He breathed a sigh of relief. Nafany told him not to worry, but the pistol round defeat started with him.

He managed to get a triple kill in this round, which somewhat made up for his mistakes and allowed him to finally get another point.

However, when he unconsciously pressed TAB, he saw that two bandits were still alive, and his heart, which had been at ease, was in suspense once again.

With all three teammates killed in B site, Jiang Yang and NIKO found themselves in an awkward situation. Entering a 2v5 endgame at 1 minute and 30 seconds was definitely not good news.

But such a scene is quite rare in today's amusement park.

The first half of the game was easy for them, and they rarely had the chance to enter the endgame.

NIKO returned from the sewers to the bandit's hideout and retrieved the grenade. "Which way should we fire?"

"Let's each look for opportunities first," Jiang Yang replied.

This 2v5 situation is indeed very difficult; it mainly depends on how well they each perform in the first two engagements.

Jiang Yang, who was already in the middle lane, chose to slowly advance from A small area.

After getting the grenade pack, NIKO started walking towards the exit of B.

The two men each headed to a minefield, attempting to reopen the wound on C9.

NIKO acted quickly, and after confirming that no one was outside B, she slowly walked into the construction site.

At the construction site, Nafany stood to the right of the short tube, with the side closer to the bandit's house set up at an angle, intending to slowly feel the CT scan through the short tube.

After gaining a numerical advantage, he chose to stand in some tricky positions to prevent silent attacks, while a teammate helped him hold the sewer direction in a construction site recess, which was a very awkward crossroads.

His location was indeed difficult to search, but what Nafany didn't expect was that NIKO searched for it!

He was patiently holding on when suddenly he saw NIKO pull out horizontally and be instantly killed!

Seeing Nafany get instantly killed, InterZ, who was in the construction site's recess, immediately moved out to finish him off. However, after NIKO took down Nafany at close range on the left, he immediately rushed into the construction site.

Although interZ isn't the first target, NIKO's aiming skill is among the best; he can easily headshot anyone he traverses.

"Da da da!"

[NIKO used an AK47 to headshot and kill nafany]

[NIKO used an AK47 to headshot interZ]

"...They thought the other side didn't have many items, so they went for a silent engagement, but they didn't expect the flashbang to hit them right in the face." Before Ma Xixi could finish analyzing the early exchanges, she suddenly saw NIKO kill two people in an instant.

"Okay, let's not talk about tactics anymore. Let's look at this 2v3 endgame. The endgame of the Sunny Ni car, 2v5 has become 2v3."

After NIKO got a double kill, Jiang Yang slowly moved towards site B alone.

NIKO moved from the construction site to the outside of the long pipe and then slowly pushed outwards, while waiting for any possible action from Jiang Yang's side.

Since the attack is launched from two angles, the two angles must help each other.

Jiang Yang made his way forward from A Elementary School, but unexpectedly found no one at the baggage station.

He thought quickly and soon came to an answer: "There should be two people at point B now, and one person at point A missed the timing with me."

“NIKO, let’s go for B. You can harass us from outside the long tube while I sneak down from the trash can.”

After saying that, Jiang Yang began to take action, and NIKO also gave information from outside the long tube, starting to adopt an offensive posture.

Jiang Yang slowly walked from the link towards the B2 building, and at that moment he suddenly saw a CT crouching by the oil drum, and a CT jumping down from the B2 building in front of him.

Jiang Yang didn't hesitate and immediately took action. He first used his AK47 to kill the oil drum, then jumped onto the railing and fired a burst of bullets to kill the CT below him.

"Da da da!"

Young used an AK47 to headshot and kill sh1ro.

Young used an AK47 to headshot Hobbit.

Just as he secured two kills in quick succession, Jiang Yang heard footsteps coming from above. After jumping once from the starting point, the footsteps moved stealthily into a corner.

Ah Le, who had returned to defend after NIKO exposed his information, immediately focused his attention on the long tube direction as soon as he heard the sound of footsteps landing.

But when I entered the B2 building, I found a bandit squatting nearby on my left.

"Ah Le was completely fooled by his cousin. He never expected his cousin to be crouching so close. Ah Le was still trying to make a move, but he never expected his cousin to be so cunning. His cousin grabbed him from the side and headshot him instantly!"

"Falcon successfully completed this 2v5, and even after the 2v5 ended, my cousin and Niko were both at full health!!"

"But actually, the Falcon members had already started celebrating when my cousin finished picking his map!" Ma Xixi shouted happily in the live stream. "16:2, the Falcon completely crushed C9 on their map pick. They didn't give C9 any room to maneuver at all, they just utterly humiliated them!"

"Congratulations to Falcon for defeating Cloud9 2-0 and advancing to the semifinals!!"
