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

Chapter 72 Pour the liquids where they belong

Saturday, September 2021, 10.

Suitable for: praying, traveling, opening the eyes of the gods, pouring liquids into the places where they should go...

The sun is shining brightly in Stockholm today, making Jiang Yang feel quite comfortable.

It is worth mentioning that after waking up, Masisi sent a message saying that he had bought a ticket and was ready to fly to Stockholm, which made Jiang Yang quite looking forward to it.

October has come to the very end, the vacation of their Challenger Group has officially ended, and the Legend Group competition has officially begun.

The main competition of the Major, which is the Legend Group, features a confrontation between new and old legends in the first round.

These eight teams that made it out of the Challenger Group will face the members of the championship group of the previous Major, that is, the top eight of the previous Major.

However, because the last Major was too long ago, the top 8 of this Stockholm Major are quite special and are directly invited.

They are NAVI, Gambit, Vitality, NIP, Furia, Liquid, EG, and G2.

The opponent that Steel Helmet was matched with was the legendary North American powerhouse Liquid.

Although Liquid is one of the strongest teams in North America, encountering Liquid at this time is definitely good news for Steel Helmet.

Because Liquid is on the verge of reorganization at this time. This Liquid's performance in the past few months has been quite poor, and it is one of the weaker teams in the entire legendary group.

How to describe it, Liquid is now at the same level as Steel Helmet in the competition, both are [3-0] and [0-3] levels.

For teams with similar combat capabilities, Steel Helmet has a slight chance of advancing.

All the preparations for dealing with the liquid have been completed, and Jiang Yang was just bored and scrolling through his phone, looking at some discussions on the Internet.

The round of 16 matches are about to take place, and the number of discussion posts about guessing in the forum has increased significantly.

However, in addition to the guessing posts, there are also discussions about the competition.

[In this group, G2 plays against the strongest dark horse right from the start. I feel like G2 is going to be beaten to a pulp by Little Flame.]

[It's a pity that I didn't get to see Team A fight NIP, otherwise it would have been a scene of tearing apart the rebel ninjas]

[Apart from anything else, I hope Steel Helmet can at least win one game, so that my trip to the Legendary Group is not in vain]

[I believe in my cousin. As long as he can perform at the same level as the challengers, he will definitely be able to advance.]

[Don't brag like that, I just played second-tier and exploded fish before.]

[I can only say that this Major is really full of geniuses. NAVI has a B1t, Steel Helmet has a cousin, and Denmark has an anthropomorphic Lucky.]

[All the newbies are showing off, only Lucky is getting beaten haha]

[It depends on whether my cousin has a chance to crush Liquid today. I guess I'll put the steel helmet in the promotion. I'll bet big! ]

Domestic audiences are still quite looking forward to Jiang Yang. As for those who think that he will be lost in the crowd when facing such a veteran first-line team, Jiang Yang doesn't care much.

He actually doesn't have that much psychological pressure.

He has actually played against this veteran first-tier strong team once.

In the first game of the Challenger Group, he ran into Heroic.

He also knew in that game that if they could play well, this first-tier team would have a chance to turn the tables.

So he didn't feel that much pressure in his heart.

Instead, he was more excited, because he would actually compete against the star players in his memory.

Today's Liquid has the Brazilian godfather Fallen, the only chicken brother in CSGO Elige, the last North American endgame master sloth NAF, the North American Sun Yalong Grimz, and NIKO's three-box brother stewie2K.

Well...the beautiful day ended when I saw Jiaojiao.

But Jiang Yang knew that the audience would still have hope.

Another beautiful day started with Jiaojiao being beaten.

……

When the game time arrived, the members of the Steel Helmet took their seats one after another. Jiang Yang still brought his pony doll to the scene, which had become his lucky charm.

But it’s a little too big. Jiang Yang is considering whether to get a palm-sized one to carry with him.

"That Bosnian brother just now was really cruel."

While debugging the equipment, Xiaosha came over to chat, "I thought Xiaohuo Miao was going to be overturned by G2 in this state, but the two brothers killed 50 people together and crushed Xiaohuo Miao directly."

"But Armanik was really outrageous. His sniper shot like crazy. I feel like G2's match might be the most difficult to predict the outcome."

Jiang Yang entered the shooting practice map for a simple warm-up and joked, "G2 is like this. When you believe in him, he can always do something great for you. When you doubt him, he can do it again."

“So G2 fans can’t believe that G2 will win the game.”

DD was also amused when he heard this: "G2 is a team that would not look strange anywhere in the competition."

I can only say that this team is really lively.

Faze on the secondary stage also successfully defeated EG, but this did not come as a surprise to them.

After all, they had received news before the game that the fat white ball in the EG team had depression and had been in very low condition recently.

It seemed that EG would not perform very well in this Major. Jiang Yang was not surprised even if they were eliminated with 0-3.

Jiang Yang quickly warmed up on the shooting map. When his hands felt a little sore, he stopped immediately.

He sat up straight involuntarily, took a look at the situation opposite, and saw Elige sitting upright on the opposite panel.

And he found that the distance between Elige and the screen was more than one meter. Could he see clearly?

And he felt that Elige wanted to put it farther away, mainly because the table limited the distance of the monitor.

It's so fucking outrageous.

Just as Jiang Yang was muttering, the BP of this game finally began.

Seeing Ming Riqing walking with a breeze when she came back, Jiang Yang said jokingly, "What do you mean, are you going to say your left hand is not good this time?"

Asuharu replied, "My left hand definitely won't work, but my victory this time has little to do with my hand."

"I played cloth, and the opponent played fist, so fist is not going to work this time."

"What a bunch of nonsense, look at the sword with a clamp!" Jiang Yang said boldly, and then he was hit by two punches.

Then the game BP officially began.

"Do as we discussed? Take a gamble?" MO looked at Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang took a breath and said, "You can give it a try."

After MO was confirmed, the building and Purgatory Town were directly removed.

……

In the live broadcast room of 6657 on a certain fish, the user who was playing the video game was instantly excited when he saw this BP: "What does this mean? The amusement park was directly released?"

Steel Helmet hadn't played on the Amusement Park map since entering the Major, but he released it directly this time, which was really bold.

However, with the rich data of the game machine, it is still possible to analyze the idea of ​​​​Steinhelm: "The map pools of the two teams actually have some overlaps and conflicts, so Steinhelm thought that Liquid didn't like to play this map, so he let Liquid take the initiative to ban the map."

"But Liquid also released Amusement Park and banned City of Dreams, Ruins and Sand II." The person playing the machine took a breath.

"That's going to be hard to handle."

Finally, there are two maps left: Nuclear Crisis and Death Amusement Park.

When facing a top team like this, it is very difficult to make a BP. They have carefully calculated today that if they follow the normal map ban, the final map will most likely be Town and Nuke.

But these two maps are also Liquid's strongest maps in recent times.

They have watched the game videos, and even though Liquid was in poor form, their performance on these maps was still impressive.

So they had to find another way and try to find a map where Liquid was worse and Jiang Yang could perform better.

Finally it was decided to be in the Death Park.

For this purpose, they practiced madly for the past two days.

In the Death Amusement Park map, the Steel Helmet can actually also be used.

It’s just that there’s no need to select one domestically, and there’s no advantage in selecting one abroad.

But when they meet a team like Liquid that is also not good at this map, their tactical capabilities are simply weakened to the same level, and it just a competition of individual abilities.

So in the end, the BP ended and the game map stayed at the Death Amusement Park.

Jiang Yang clearly felt that the liquid on the opposite side looked over here in surprise.

They seemed a little worried, thinking that the helmet was hiding a big wave.

However, the game map has been determined and it is impossible to go back and re-BP. Players from both sides can only enter the service map of Death Amusement Park one by one.

……

Steel Helmet vs Liquid
Map: Death Amusement Park
T: captainMO, DD, xiaosage, young, Karsa
CT: Fallen, Elige, Grim, NAF, Stewie2K
The game officially begins!
Although they practiced intensively for two days, they didn't have many tactics in their arsenal on this map. The good news was that the opponent probably didn't have many either.

So MO chose to use a simpler tactic - to silence and directly explode the bullet to raise B in the second time, and let the shooting skills speak for themselves.

"In this game, Liquid designed a strategy to focus on sewer defense at the beginning, hoping to prevent the opponent from running around the map." The machine analysis said, "They thought that the opponent would start with sewer defense and focus on the middle lane, run around the map to get information and then fight."

"But the steel helmet is not as complicated as they imagined. They just chose to upgrade it right away!"

The player laughed and said, "It just so happened that they had let all of their B points go! Steel easily occupied B point, and Liquid could only rely on two sets of props to defend!"

"stewie2K, who was only on the first floor, was trying to collect tolls, but Xiaosa, who was underwater, had already touched his face. He shot him in the head at close range and killed him instantly!!"

Seeing that his brothers at point B successfully occupied the bomb site and got the first kill, Jiang Yang felt that the pressure was not so great this time.

He thought about it for a while and communicated with MO: "Captain, I will go to the construction site to cut off the enemy first. You don't need to continue shooting. I will come back to find a way out after I finish the first wave."

Jiang Yang was thinking that if he cut off one or two opponents at the construction site, they would surely rush to finish off the enemy, and MO would be able to steal the ball from behind.

This map has many small structure maps, which is very suitable for this kind of small local cooperation.

Jiang Yang walked quietly to a small corner of the construction site. He squatted and quietly looked in the direction of the sewer exit.

Soon the door was pushed open and Jiang Yang also paid more attention.

A lot of footsteps were heard near the crosshairs. Jiang Yang saw the CT taking off and opened fire.

The opponent moved sideways to let him go, and Jiang Yang seized the opportunity and fired wildly with the Glock, finally killing him the moment he landed and turned his head.

Then he opened fire at a CT who was holding two guns and looking at him. Relying on the firing rate of the Glock, Jiang Yang shot him in the head before he landed.

Although he was surprised that Glock didn't kill him at this distance, he immediately lowered his sights and shot him in the chest.

[Young killed Grim with a headshot using a Glock]

[Young killed NAF with a Glock headshot]

Elige watched his two teammates die one after another, and immediately pulled out to finish them off, but the angle he was at was too close, so it was a bit troublesome to finish them off right away.

Elige just wanted to jump onto the railing and fire as much as he could.

He jumped up like a god of war.

Then the God of War went to sleep.

[Young killed Elige with a Glock headshot]

"Liquid didn't guard against the blind spot in the sewer, and his cousin took advantage of an amazing opportunity, and Glock killed three in a row!"

"The Godfather finally succeeded in finishing off the opponent, but my cousin's mission has already been accomplished!"

The man playing the machine said excitedly: "The location of the final construction site has been locked. Does the Godfather still want to operate it?"

"Although I know there is no chance in this endgame, the Godfather still wants to fight!"

"The Godfather shot one down forcefully, but MO had already reached over from the short barrel and shot the Godfather dead with one shot."

The score was 1:0, and Steel Helmet won the pistol round, which was very comfortable.

But the player playing the machine couldn't help but give a sharp comment: "This stewie2K's play is too outrageous. He should just protect himself on the B1 floor alone."

"I failed to protect myself, I died, and I lost my gun position."

“This is really a bit of a sickness.”

After winning the pistol round, Jiang Yang made a brief adjustment and directly obtained a full armor AK47.

Knowing that the opponent would come out strong in this point, they were very cautious at the beginning.

Jiang Yang hid in the bandit's den and waited for a while. Sniper rifles are used quite frequently in this map.

He also saw the video of The Godfather on this map before the game.

I know he likes to step on balloons to snipe.

So he waited for a while at the beginning of the game to make sure that the opponent had not thrown any props, and then he faced the wall and made subtle adjustments.

For players like him and NIKO who are good at pre-aiming, pre-aiming is a very simple matter as long as they are familiar with the map and build a model of the map in their minds.

After adjusting the preview, Jiang Yang pulled to the left.

Stop and adjust slightly when you see someone.

"boom!"

stewie2K, who was holding a sniper rifle on a balloon, couldn't even make a move to shoot. He only heard the sound of an AK hitting his head and was knocked away instantly.

He clenched his fists instantly. This peek was really scary.

Elige, who was standing at the middle entrance to act as his bodyguard, immediately peeked out when he saw this, trying to give the bandit a chance to come out.

Soon he saw the young bandit coming out, and he fired a shot at him with his Desert Eagle.

Then it was as if some defensive counterattack mechanism was triggered.

As soon as he fired the shot, the opponent stopped and killed him instantly.

After Elige was killed, he covered his face with his hands and smiled bitterly.

This young man's reaction was too quick.

"My cousin used AK to kill two people in the middle lane. The concept of ECO game is really powerful. Although this game was strictly a forced game, it is an ECO game as long as there is a pistol." The player who plays the machine also used the memes in the forum.

At the same time, DD, who was left behind at the construction site, grabbed Grim who was pushing out from the front.

Instantly the situation became 5 vs. 2. MO directly ordered Steel Helmets to gather outside B, and a wave of numbers crushed them and pushed forward.

This point was won with a strong start. Although Liquid found some opportunities in the following economic round, they ultimately only managed to keep an AK47.

Steel Helmet won the first three rounds in a row, and the game was about to enter the first rifle round.
