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

Chapter 52 A kid came to FPL, his sniper was floating in the sky
It was a sunny day in Stockholm on October 2021, 10.

Suitable for: sacrifice, plugging holes, competitions...

Due to some special reasons, online competitions have appeared in the world of CSGO for a long time.

The emergence of the online era has caused too many professional players to lose motivation, and at the same time has made many viewers hope to see the return of offline competitions.

This time, the Stockholm Major represents a signal of returning to offline activities.

Coupled with the recent news of Steel Helmet advancing to the Major and becoming the youngest Major player, netizens on forums at home and abroad are looking forward to it.

[Come on, all the veterans in the Steel Helmets team overseas. I hope they can have a good performance in the Major this time.]

[Winning one game is considered a victory]

[Anyway, I directly put the helmet on 3-0 in the betting (dog head)]

[I am happy that the Steel Helmets are 3-0, and I feel a little comforted that they are eliminated]

[I think there is some hope for Steel Helmet. My cousin is really exaggerating. He has been killing people in FPL recently.]

[I saw Xantares complaining on live broadcast a few days ago that "a kid came to FPL, and his sniper was killing people all over the map"]

But it’s a team game after all.

[It’s a pity that this time, the player stickers can only be printed by the legendary group, which is too difficult]

[What is Valve doing? They keep changing the rules. Otherwise, the steel helmet guys will really release stickers again. This is annoying]

There are mixed reviews about Steel Helmet in the forum, but most domestic players still hope that Steel Helmet can win.

But they also knew that the current helmet was only supported by Jiang Yang in the front, which was very stressful.

Jiang Yang, who is far away in Stockholm, is still working hard in FPL.

He actually wanted to play a training match more, but the competition was approaching and no one was practicing much, so Jiang Yang could only focus on FPL.

FPL is the abbreviation of FACEIT Pro League, which is a special server on the foreign platform Faceit. Generally, only professional players can join it.

It is somewhat similar to the League of Legends' Canyon of Heroes server, but in comparison, its environment and strength are much stronger than Canyon of Heroes.

Because the threshold for FPL is really to have a professional level to be able to join.

This time in Stockholm, the tournament team directly helped these players to certify their FPL account qualifications, allowing them to play in FPL.

How to describe it.

Among the members of Steel Helmet, only DD can withstand the pressure from FPL.

The other members became the background of this professional brawl.

Jiang Yang was the one who adapted the fastest, and he had even reached the level where he could compete with several major "instructors" of FPL.

The top professional players in FPL also have very good opinions about Jiang Yang.

During these days, Jiang Yang finally felt the pressure again, and his level was slowly improving.

The intensity of the game today was not high, as he was only facing Brand and Jackz. He defeated them easily.

The old lady MO, who was not far away, shouted, "Cousin, please pay attention to the time. We have to go to the venue in an hour. Don't start the next one."

"I know. I just finished here." Jiang Yang responded, agreed to the friend requests of Huo Nan and JackZ in the friend list, and turned off the computer.

Then he leaned back in the gaming chair and closed his eyes. The other members of the Steel Helmet were also used to it. According to Jiang Yang, this was called meditation training.

They also don’t understand what meditation training is, as long as Jiang Yang can carry it, it’s awesome.

In fact, Jiang Yang was just checking the content of the system's transformation.

He has been playing crazily against top players in FPL recently, and his progress has been very fast. Two of his "special skills" have been upgraded to a higher level.

First of all, 'NIKO's preview' has been upgraded to an advanced level.

【The Essence of Pre-Aiming (Advanced)】

[Features: After making pre-aiming preparations, peek out to greatly improve the accuracy of the first shot and the ability to tear down sniper rifles by hand! ]

When previewing skills reach an advanced level, the concept changes completely.

Originally it was just a pre-aiming technique that could improve the accuracy of the first shot, but now it has even become a special attack against snipers.

This is interesting.

He himself is a sniper rifle user, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to handle.

In those video highlights, the eye-catching scenes of tearing a sniper rifle apart by hand show how difficult it is to do so.

And they are all greatly improved, which is a bit abnormal.

Then [Twistzz's short burst technique] became 'intermediate'.

【Twistzz's short burst shooting technique (intermediate)】

【Features: Slightly increases the headshot rate of short bursts. 】

This is not so bad, but it is extremely useful at critical moments. The three-shot short burst shooting style requires a very high headshot rate.

If your headshot rate is not high enough, it is easy to severely injure someone with three consecutive shots, and then you will be the one being shot down.

Failing to achieve an instant kill is very frustrating in a CSGO game, because the opponent's firepower is completely different.

The troubles that 5 enemies with 20 health points and 1 enemy with 100 health points can cause are completely different levels.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yang took out a pack of "Sleepy Black Tea" from his pocket and brewed it in the thermos, just in case.

In another two hours, Jiang Yang's first Major match will officially begin, and he can't help but feel a little nervous.

He thought about it carefully and decided that all the necessary preparations had been completed...

"Oh! That's not right." Jiang Yang looked at the pony doll he bought last night, "I still have to find a place to print a photo."

Before this competition, the thing they were most worried about was the visa issue. After all, Jiang Yang was young and it was hard to say.

But in the end, it went surprisingly smoothly, and the visas of the five players of Steel Helmet and assistant Asuka Asuka were all approved.

Asuharu mainly came here to help Steel Helmet as a translator.

However, Masisi, who wanted to come the most, had problems with his visa and was forced to broadcast live to his fans in Shanghai.

Faced with this helpless situation, Masisi joked that he had been trapped by the Steel Helmet and often acted pitifully in front of the viewers in the live broadcast room.

Although Jiang Yang felt a little nervous because his cousin was not around, he still planned to have his cousin appear in the Major, even if it was just his name.

Jiang Yang said something to MO, and then obediently asked Ming Riqing to take him to the nearby printing shop.

Jiang Yang was helpless. As a freshman who had already dropped out of school, his English level had long been returned to the teacher.

Apart from a few [classic English swear words], it's completely black.

However, when he has free time recently, he will take the initiative to watch American TV series and then try to translate the meaning of the TV series - this is the method Masisi taught Jiang Yang to learn English.

...in the Huya 123321 live broadcast room.

The lonely old man Ma Xixi was chatting with his friends with a haggard look on his face.

Without MO, without Asuka Asuna, and without cousin, there is nothing left in CSBOY’s live broadcast room!
"Who will be Steel's opponent in the first round? Their first round is actually a bit difficult. They will play against Team X, which is Heroic, in the first round." Before the game screen appeared, Masisi was answering questions from netizens.

Masisi took a breath and said, "Today we will mainly see how they adapt. It will be difficult to defeat Heroic."

[Xixi is starting to work hard again haha]

[That’s right, it’s very difficult for Steel Helmet to win! ]

【Let's question it first, okay? 】

The audience in the live broadcast room thought that Masisi was doing this for show effect, but in fact, Masisi really thought so.

Heroic is not a weak team.

As the second largest team in Denmark today, Heroic is almost one of the strongest teams in this Major.

Their current lineup is: Cadian, refrezh, stavn, TeSeS, sjuush.

The experience of the player Cadian is very magical. When he was young, he was a very nasty professional player. He was even called a noob because he lost to a female player in a one-on-one duel.

But after years of ups and downs in the CS circle, he can be regarded as a representative of late bloomers, and now he is one of the best commanders on the market.

Many people don’t have any impression of this guy refrezh, but he is a rare black player in the entire e-sports circle.

And in the ESL14 season a month ago, in the Heroic game, he helped the team reverse the situation with a 14V15 highlight at a score of 1:5.

The remaining three are also extremely outstanding players in Denmark today.

Heroic's current world ranking is 5th in the world.

As for the steel helmet, it is ranked 88th in the world.

There are still 82 teams to go before Steel Helmet can reach Heroic.

Matching Steel Helmet with an opponent of this level right from the start, Masisi wanted to curse out a [traditional Korean swear word].

Just then, Masisi heard the background music of the push stream, and he immediately switched over.

"Brothers, we have the picture...Hey! What's going on with my cousin? Why did he shave his head?" Ma Xixi was a little surprised.

Before, Jiang Yang had that kind of student-like mushroom haircut, and with that handsome face, he looked like a campus hero.

But I have to say, handsome people are really handsome.

Even with a buzz cut, Jiang Yang still looks young and immature.

Many female fans in the live broadcast room were frantically posting comments and flooding the screen.

Yes, thanks to Jiang Yang, CSBOY now has a lot of female fans.

Masisi just thought it was nonsense.

Then the director was also good at making things happen. He clearly noticed Jiang Yang's battle-scarred mouse pad and even gave it a close-up.

【What is this? 】

[Strong people never complain about the environment? ]

[Where did this cousin dig out this old thing? ]

[Masisi, is this how you treat your cousin? ]

[I'm so upset. My cousin used this mouse pad to win the Major? What do my various mouse pads count for?]

[I feel like the mouse pad has become a tool]

Seeing Jiang Yang's mouse pad again, Ma Xixi also felt a little embarrassed.

He explained: "Don't worry, brothers in the live broadcast room, I'm not being so harsh on my cousin, but he just doesn't want to lose it!"

"He said that I gave him this mouse pad when he was a child, and he has been using it for a long time. He feels very comfortable with it. Otherwise, I have a lot of mouse pads in my warehouse, and he can use one a day without any problem."

As if noticing the photographer taking pictures, Jiang Yang raised his fist and bumped it with the photographer, then said, "Bro, look here."

The mixed communication between Chinese and English was like the phrase "Can you flush the red stairs?", which made Masisi's eyes go dark.

Then the next scene shows him moving to Bengbu.

Following Jiang Yang's gesture, the photographer shifted the camera to the right and saw the coaching chairs behind the contestants.

At this moment, a pony doll was placed on the coach's seat, and a ridiculous emoticon of Masisi was pasted on the pony's face.

[Boss Ma, they didn’t do anything to you!!]

[Masisi: "I can play in the Stockholm Major!!"]

[I am dying of laughter. This must be done by my cousin. Pony + emoticons. He is so lively.]

[My eyes are filled with tears. No one can be left without a helmet! ]

【Hahahahaha】

[It’s a pity that I can’t see Mr. Ma ordering takeout in the back]

Although he was making fun of himself, Masisi still felt warm in his heart.

It's very simple to do this, just a horse doll and a printed color photo.

But he was very happy that his cousin who was far away in Stockholm thought of him.

"It's worth it that I love you so much." Masisi smiled.

In this joyful atmosphere, the BP of both sides officially began.

The Major Challenger Group adopts the BO1 format, and only the games related to promotion and elimination are in the BO3 format.

Today is just a BO1, and it looks like Steel Helmet still has some chance of winning.

Right at the beginning, Steel Helmet directly removed the Death Park and the Death Building.

"Team X has banned Sand II and Mysterious City!" Masisi's expression instantly turned painful. "They banned these two strongest maps. This is going to be difficult."

Steel Helmet's strongest maps are Maze City and Desert II, but they were banned by Team X at the very beginning, which is very frustrating because the map pool is not enough.

Team X went on to ban the Ancient Ruins.

This leaves Nuclear Crisis and Inferno for Steel Helmet to choose from.

After careful consideration, Steel Helmet finally chose Purgatory Town as the game map.

The ten players from both sides have begun to make final preparations, and the competition is about to begin!
……

PS: In reality, the stickers for the Stockholm Major can only be obtained by reaching the Champions Group, that is, the quarterfinals. However, for the sake of the plot of the novel, I changed it to the Legends Group. Sister Li...
