CS: Oh no, he's really become the GOAT!

Chapter 22: The shocking ladder environment for Danking!

Chapter 22: The shocking ladder environment for Danking!
A one-on-one duel doesn't really reflect a player's true skill level.

It's like how S1mple gets completely crushed by Xantares in one-on-one fights, but in matches, S1mple can make Xantares curse.

One-on-one combat can basically only demonstrate abilities such as aiming speed, positioning speed, reaction speed, and peek, which are geared towards direct combat.

However, awareness, map understanding, pace of advancement, and item coordination are all crucial in the game.

The truly strong players in the competition are all well-rounded individuals.

Danking didn't know if Yang Yu was a well-rounded fighter, but he knew that Yang Yu had not only crushed him on the ladder, but had also beaten him to a pulp in a one-on-one fight.

When Danking heard Yang Yu tell him not to hold back next time, he just laughed.

Perhaps he wasn't in the right frame of mind in the first few rounds, but when the score fell behind, he was playing with gritted teeth and was in top form.

From his perspective, it was a terrifying scene. There was no chance of making a mistake when they met. If the location was not right the first time, he would be killed. It was indeed terrifying.

[Haha, did Danking really go easy on us?]

[The genius boy managed to get the egg liquid out of his mouth.]

The moment he was completely destroyed, Danking knew, "This guy is mine!"

[This genius teenager is incredibly worldly-wise, haha!]

[He's already been knocked unconscious by the genius kid, haha]

【Danking, why don't you leave TyLoo? You can't make a name for yourself as a professional player, so why not start a livestream and make some money?】

Danking didn't care about the teasing comments in the live chat.

He praised, "Brother, you are indeed amazing. I'll go talk to the manager about this after the broadcast ends."

"OK! Thank you, Egg God. Let's meet at the Tianlu base offline." Yang Yu was also quite happy. Although he hadn't become the number one on the ladder yet, he had successfully obtained a trial opportunity.

Now all that's left is a trial session before he can become a full-fledged professional player, after which he'll have professional player certifications on his ranked ladder.

Just thinking about it is a wonderful thing.

"So, are we still going to play ranked matches?" Danking asked.

"Come!"

In high spirits, Yang Yu and Danking and the others started an exciting three-player match.

Yang Yu led the Danking trio in a total of 5 games, with a final record of 4 wins and 1 draw.

In the match that ended in a draw, the opposing team seemed to have a clear understanding of the game; something was definitely not right.

In only one of these five matches, Danking was the carry; in the other matches, Yang Yu unleashed his full firepower, leaving Danking and QUQU's viewers in awe.

It wasn't until something happened in Mini World that the two 'Dayun' vehicles driven by Yang Yu began to disintegrate, and everyone went back to doing their own thing.

Yang Yu also rose from S37 stars to S42 stars, taking another step closer to becoming the perfect number one.

After finishing his ranked climb for the day, Yang Yu entered a deathmatch game and paid the price for controlling the recoil of his ELIGE.

Then, I watched ropz's video of the town's ladder before falling asleep, feeling satisfied.

Danking also ended his broadcast at this time.

As Danking lay in bed after washing up, he reflected on the events of his live stream that day and felt it was all a bit surreal.

However, thinking about that one-on-one duel, he couldn't help but start to think again.

"Did I really not turn off the water?"

Danking couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned; when he closed his eyes, all he could hear in his mind was the sound of someone getting their head blown off.

Could this rifleman become my teammate in the future?
Seems pretty good too.

……

Unbeknownst to them, who were already asleep, a heated discussion had already taken place in the community regarding their situation.

A clip from Bilibili is quietly spreading.

Danking encounters a prodigy, but despite his best efforts, he cannot defeat him...

The video is very simple; it mainly consists of edited clips from Danking's live stream yesterday.

From Danking and QUQU being brutally beaten by Yang Yu in a three-player match, to Yang Yu stating his intention to go pro after the match, and then crushing Danking in a one-on-one duel, to his subsequent rampage in ranked matches, all of this was edited together.

However, through some editing techniques, this video editing blogger directly edited out all the essential content.

The CSGO community is already quite small, and there are many people in the community who are paying attention to a prodigy like Yang Yu.

Because of Leon Kai's identification of cheating, many people have come to accept the view that Yang Yu did not cheat, but he did not prove it offline, so many people are still skeptical.

But after this clip was released, players in the community who still had doubts about Yang Yu suddenly had no more ideas.

After all, Yang Yu plans to go to the professional scene, which means he needs to go for offline trials. What follows is basically equivalent to proving himself offline.

[That's outrageous! Did Danking get completely stomped on the ladder?]

[Danking probably wasn't serious; professional players in ranked matches just focus on gunplay and having fun.] [Tears welling up; CNCS has been suffering from a lack of talent for so long, and finally, another young prodigy with visible talent has emerged.]

Even if you go for a trial with Tianlu, you'll still have to sit on the bench for a while, so don't rush it.

When I first started playing with the machines with 'Potato', I was already quite optimistic about this guy. His talent was obvious to everyone; he was getting headshots every time he hit someone.

[Don't rush things, we still need to see if this guy can pass the offline trial. It would be hilarious if he didn't.]

But at least there's hope.

For CNCS players, the environment these past few years has indeed been very difficult.

CSGO was not a mainstream game in China to begin with, but it gradually gained an audience after it became free on Steam, and the number of people playing CSGO began to increase.

But then came the phenomenal FPS game PUBG.

Back then, PUBG was incredibly popular, attracting almost all the FPS geniuses in China.

With PUBG failing to pass censorship and its popularity gradually declining, Riot Games' Valorant has arrived.

They want a child prodigy too!

Now that a genius with visibly obvious talent has finally emerged, the community players are extremely happy.

Leonkai, a surfer known for his high-intensity surfing, also commented below: 【Good luck, I hope 'Potato' has a smooth ride】

Yang Yu only saw the many blessings from netizens after he woke up from his sleep.

He wasn't particularly concerned about these trends, but receiving blessings from netizens warmed his heart at that moment.

……

Danking has not forgotten this incident either.

Three days after his chance encounter with Yang Yu on the ladder, he found the manager and coach who had returned from their business trip.

He found the manager and explained, "I recently met a prodigy on the ladder. He asked me to help him get a trial opportunity. Ask the coach what he thinks."

The manager immediately translated for LETN1, the current coach of Tianlu, in English.

TyLoo's current coach is a former Serbian professional player who was once teammates with NIKO and YNK. TyLoo recruited him in the hope of using his European mindset to turn around their Asian-style approach.

"A very promising new player, may I see his demo?" Coach TyLoo accepted Danking's recommendation.

He believes Danking is a very talented player, and players he approves of are unlikely to be bad.

The manager acted as the translator.

Danking was delighted to see this and immediately went to the computer to start searching for Potato's game videos. He found some videos where the scores were very close and showed them to the coach.

The coach nodded frequently while watching Yang Yu's game video, and occasionally exclaimed in surprise, clearly quite satisfied with 'Potato'.

The manager of Tianlu, who was standing nearby, was also surprised and began to look up various information about Yang Yu.

"You can have him come for an offline trial to see how he performs against professional players." Coach Tianlu felt he had unearthed a gem.

At this moment, Tianlu's manager asked curiously, "Danking, how did you run into such a formidable player? These stats are far more exaggerated than when you were playing ranked matches back in the day."

"Hey, we ran into each other on the ladder, and our stats are still up."

"The day before yesterday, this guy completely crushed us in the Perfect World game. I was carrying QUQU, but he and some random guys wiped us out. I was totally dumbfounded..." Danking explained to the manager the whole story of encountering 'Potato'.

The manager, standing nearby, clicked his tongue in amazement, "The experience of a prodigy starting out is truly unique..."

After receiving responses from the coach and manager, Danking immediately said, "I'll contact him now and discuss a specific trial time with him."

However, at that very moment, Tianlu's manager's expression darkened: "Tiedan, it seems we don't need to notify him anymore."

"why?"

Manager Tianlu turned the computer screen around.

Danking looked closely and realized it was the ranked game where he and QUQU had crashed into Potato.

However, on the battle record screen at this moment, there are four icons that have dimmed.
