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

Chapter 380 The Moment of Lifting the Trophy!

As the game entered its final endgame, the photographer had already focused the lens on the Falcon players' bench.

The Falcon team members had serious expressions, and the atmosphere in the entire player area was so tense that you could almost hear their racing heartbeats.

Background music plays as English commentators shout things like "qikert".

Immediately following, a roar erupted from the crowd. NIKO and Jiang Yang simultaneously clenched their right fists and shouted passionately, "NICEEEE!!"

Jiang Yang quickly took off his headphones and stood still, shouting at the top of his lungs.

The Falcon's coach and commander embraced each other excitedly, and soon Device joined them.

The photographer thought NIKO would shed tears at the end of the match, but NIKO did not.

He slowly took off his headphones, his face filled with the joy of victory. He still seemed unable to accept the fact that he had won the championship.

But soon NIKO joined in the celebration with his teammates. Everyone surrounded the prodigy, and they all jumped and danced happily, releasing their emotions.

"We just won the championship like this?" Niko asked incredulously from the crowd.

The person who asked this type of question before was JKS. As a professional player who wasn't that outstanding, JKS stepped onto the Major finals stage for the first time and broke his own record.

But now it's NIKO asking this question, because he's already a Major champion!!!

This was a scene he never dared to imagine, even in his dreams.

They seem to have only won one game, yet they are now enjoying the cheers of the entire world.

His gaze involuntarily fell upon the trophy stand, upon which stood a huge, silver-white trophy—the prize for the Major winner, something he had strived for all these years to obtain.

From Boston to Stockholm, and then to Rio.

Who can understand how difficult his journey has been?

He used to feel that his performance was not worthy of that Major championship.

Nikolakovic was never destined to win a Major title because he always struggled in the final match.

But this time, he redeemed himself.

He made up for his mistakes and played well in the final match.

NIKO thought about all the effort he had put in over the years, from leaving Faze due to too much public opinion, to taking on too much responsibility at G2, and finally realizing his dream by joining Falcons.

But only he himself knew how incredibly difficult the journey had been.

Some say he's cursed, some say he's not a team player, and some say he doesn't follow orders.

People in the community always tend to gloss over his brilliant performances when he has a slump.

Now, this "curse" has finally been broken!

The spotlight shone on the trophy, and NIKO looked at it, her eyes welling up with tears.

It's so bright and dazzling!

I'm so moved, my dream has finally come true!

[This time there was no "but look the time," and no empty-handed shot from the third floor. He finally fulfilled his dream in Rio. Congratulations, Niko!]

The memories of dying are starting to attack me. After all these years, my dream has finally come true. It really shows that choice is more important than effort.

Congratulations to Niko on winning the championship!!

[I sensed before that NIKO was under immense pressure, with endless repressed emotions beneath her eccentric personality, and now she's finally letting it all out.]

[Those things that once made you sad, you can now talk about with a smile.]

[A narrow defeat in Boston, a disappointing result in Stockholm, but Rio finally fulfilled their dream]

After NIKO shed tears, Device, who had become a five-star general, went over and hugged NIKO.

They're teammates now, but they used to be rivals.

He understood all too well the pressure Niko was under.

Jiang Yang also came over and patted NIKO on the shoulder: "It's all over."

Now that NIKO has become the champion, all of her past experiences have truly become the past. They will become nourishment, paving the way for NIKO to realize her dream even more perfectly.

Watching the three Falcon generals embrace, the player exclaimed in the live stream, "A new king has ascended the throne!! The final endgame was fantastic! Niko has redeemed himself and broken free from his past demons."

"My cousin remains invincible; no one can stand against him!"

"There's no third map, so the outsiders are unfortunately out of the game. But we're about to witness the coronation of a new king. This is also the first time in CS:GO that the same player has won a Major trophy with different teams in a row!"

"Falcons broke team history; the oil tycoon's money was well spent!!"

"They not only won the Major championship, but they also achieved an undefeated record in this Major, and their winning streak continues to this day! We seem to be seeing a dynasty rising, the strongest dynasty being born before our eyes."

The player passionately said, "Perhaps you missed the birth of NIP in the ancient times, missed Astralis's peak dominance, and didn't witness the amazing 100-day dynasty of Liquid. Then you must now witness the emergence of this dynasty that may become the most dominant dynasty in CSGO history!"

As soon as he finished speaking about playing with the machine, the director's camera switched to him.

Having already finished celebrating, Jiang Yang raised his hands high, basking in the cheers from CSGO players all over the world, and confidently walked towards the outsiders' bench.

At seventeen, I was the best in the world!

When talking about Antwerp, Jiang Yang looked so full of vigor and ambition.

So at this moment on the stage in Rio, he seemed to be reigning supreme.

He is enjoying the flowers and applause after his victory.

Jiang Yang's smile was so bright, even somewhat beautiful.

But players who have watched the game all the way from the Majors know just how terrifying the strength is hidden behind that smile.

Behind this young man enjoying the cheers are countless veterans whose hearts have been shattered by the blows.

The victor takes all, and this young man climbed to this position step by step, stepping over those players who were once called 'prodigies'.

One will be a million bones.

At this moment, isn't this young man also getting to this point by stepping over the corpses of his opponents?

"He is so invincible, compared to him!"

The machine player shouted, "Heroes in the CS world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. In just one year, he has achieved the honors that countless CSGO professional players dream of. He has two Major championships in his hands!"

"What I said last year was right, this year is the year of 'young'!! He is destined to become an indelible figure in the 22-year history of FPS!"

Jiang Yang walked all the way to the outsiders' bench.

Compared to the falconers' joy, the outsiders' feelings were particularly complicated.

The atmosphere here is incredibly oppressive.

Before the finals, they felt they were in hot form and could compete with the Falcons using Jame's system.

However, when they actually started fighting, they found that their system was completely countered by the Falcon.

Falcon's individual abilities are too strong.

Static offense is truly helpless against powerful 'disruptors'.

The static default was broken, and the formation was torn apart.

Their hearts were filled with despair.

They lost, both in terms of individual ability and system tactics.

"The outsiders actually performed very well this time. Their performance against the Falcons was really great. There were even many very close moments in today's game," Wanji commented. "But unfortunately, their overall strength was not enough. The gap in individual ability between the two players was too big."

"CS:GO has increasingly entered an era of firepower; in the face of firepower, everything else is meaningless..."

"Even though they lost in the finals, for an outsiders team that had no sponsors, no team name, and had to rely solely on themselves to get to where they are today, they are still incredibly inspiring!"

Jame is usually extremely calm, and his face is expressionless.

But at the moment the game ended, his disappointment was still evident on his face.

They still lost... Jame had actually expected this result; he had studied the Falcon's game footage and knew just how strong the Falcon really was. But deep down, he still harbored a sliver of hope.

What if...

This is a thought that every CS:GO player will have.

Jame was no exception.

But after two hours of competition, Falcon proved him wrong with sheer strength.

In the face of real firepower, there is no room for chance.

Qikert came over and hugged Jame. He had been with Jame since the Avangard era. The journey of the Falcon and his group was not easy, and theirs was no less so.

This marks the second time he and Jame have lost in a Major final.

At this moment, Qikert couldn't help but feel a little wronged. As Jiang Yang walked over, she looked up and wiped away her tears.

"You played very well." Qikert extended his hand to Jiang Yang and said sincerely.

He was very impressed with Anubis, and Jiang Yang won several endgame matches against him.

Jiang Yang's terrifying consciousness and his powerful, direct marksmanship still haunt him to this day.

Towards the end, he became somewhat frightened when he saw that Jiang Yang's ID was still active.

After the match, qikert realized what had happened.

He showed no anger or resentment at the failure of this confrontation.

All that remains is recognition and aspiration.

He knew that only by working twice as hard could he seize the opportunity to fight back in future matches.

Qikert is not very old and is still in his prime.

He wasn't jealous of Jiang Yang's terrifying talent, knowing it wouldn't do any good; the only thing he could do was work harder to grow stronger.

He then looked at NIKO, who was walking over.

NIKO, who lost twice in the major finals, has now achieved his dream, and he has the same opportunity!
qikert's resolve only grew stronger.

Jiang Yang then turned his attention to Jame, who was slightly taller than him.

“I’m thinking…” Jame looked at Jiang Yang, “Do I have a chance to receive your call?”

Compared to qikert, he was genuinely somewhat melancholy.

His most proficient playstyle has finally paid off, and this time he looks set on a chance to win the Major championship, thus proving himself worthy of being called a "cancer" and a "noob".

But he failed at the very last step.

The runner-up is indeed a good player, but everyone's attention is focused on the champion, so who would pay attention to the runner-up?

He believed that he had almost completely outmaneuvered Hooxi in terms of command and control during the final.

In terms of command, he completely outplayed his opponent.

But the team is missing one young!
Their capabilities are on completely different levels, which is really frustrating.

For a moment, he even felt a little jealous of the person who received Jiang Yang's call.

Hearing this teasing remark, Jiang Yang chuckled and said jokingly, "I'll put Breathing in the coaching staff when we get back, and I'll call you."

Jame's playstyle is slower, and he has a conservative, rational approach. Jiang Yang, on the other hand, prefers to dictate the course of the game and has a more aggressive playstyle. While Jiang Yang, comparable to a single 6-cost card, could easily fit into Jame's system, there's absolutely no need for him to.

Their playing styles are two extremes.

Therefore, this is highly unlikely.

Moreover, Jame's playing style requires too much influence, so if he were to actually play for the Falcon, he would definitely be a misfit.

Moreover.

Jiang Yang felt that the breathing technique was quite good. Except for being suppressed in the final, most of the matches were very good. The main thing was that he understood how to use the other players, which was enough.

They just won the Major championship, and it was a winning lineup.

How could they suddenly disband?

Unlike GL, Falcon has its own aspirations.

The Falcons are already a top-tier professional team, with top-notch salaries, resources, coaching staff, and status within the industry.

It was inevitable that they would keep the original lineup after winning the championship.

So this was just a joke.

Jiang Yang then reached out and shook hands with Norbert, and the two nodded to each other in acknowledgment.

Jiang Yang then stepped away from the outsiders' seating area, and strode away from the center of the stage, heading towards the players' seating area.

Jiang Yang was surrounded by the Falcon crew behind him as they walked away together.

Jiang Yang raised his arms again and began to interact with the audience.

NIKO and device came to his side and clapped on either side.

Cheers erupted again from the crowd.

At this moment, everyone understood what was about to happen!

Jiang Yang was now bathed in the cheers of the entire Rio Olympic Stadium as he crossed the stage and stood before the trophy platform.

Countless spectators raised their phones, intending to record this historic moment.

The other lights in the venue gradually dimmed, and everyone's attention began to focus on the podium.

"Young!! Young!!"

People started chanting Jiang Yang's ID in unison from below the stage, and Jiang Yang enjoyed the moment.

NIKO followed behind, walking forward to the trophy stand. He said to Jiang Yang, "This trophy looks a bit big."

Jiang Yang politely stepped aside, "NIKO, you go first?"

He genuinely wanted to give this honor to Niko, after all, Niko had longed for this championship for so long, and it was truly an achievement to finally lift the trophy.

"No, no, no!" NIKO grabbed Jiang Yang and pulled him to the trophy stand.

Apex, who was streaming live, was also very moved when they saw this, commenting, "Are they finally going to lift the trophy?"

As NIKO's old rival and good friend, NIKO has worked so hard for so many years, and it's almost become a strange story in the scene that he hasn't won a Major championship.

It's truly moving to see someone finally overcome their inner demons.

However, while sighing, he also thought of himself.

NIKO has overcome his mental block and is about to lift the trophy, so where is my second trophy?

While he was thinking, Jiang Yang was already standing in front of the trophy stand.

He reached out and picked up the trophy from the trophy stand, but then suddenly got playful and let go of the trophy, making a gesture as if he had lost his grip on it.

The people on the scene were so shocked that they exclaimed "Oh!"

NIKO and device, who were standing nearby, were also so frightened that their eyes widened.

Don't drop it! I haven't even lifted the trophy yet... NIKO was terrified.

Jiang Yang, who was being teased, laughed heartily, then gripped the handle of the trophy and forcefully lifted it into the air.

Fireworks erupted around the trophy stand, and colorful ribbons fluttered above the dome.

This moment, inside the Rio Olympic Stadium.

A golden rain began to fall...
