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

Chapter 26: Offline Facilities
Compared to winters in other provinces, winters in Shanghai are quite unique.

Yang Yu was wearing a cotton-padded coat when she got off the high-speed rail station in the morning. After taking the subway, she not only took off the coat, but also felt sweaty even when she was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

He had previously heard Mo Han jokingly say that "Shanghai only has winter and summer".

But you didn't say winter and summer could happen in one day!

The fluctuating temperature was making Yang Yu extremely uncomfortable.

After getting off the subway, Yang Yu took out her phone and sent a message to Danking: "Where are you?"

A few seconds later, Danking sent a message: "We'll be at the next stop soon, don't rush."

Yang Yu felt that Danking was a really interesting person.

Although he was somewhat surprised that he didn't get the trial opportunity with TyLoo, Danking recommended him to RA.

After learning that RA was interested in giving him a tryout, Danking even came over himself, saying he wanted to meet him in person and treat him to a meal as a host.

Yang Yu was a little speechless. Dude, who do you think you are as a host? You're from Shijiazhuang, it's one thing to cosplay as Jing Ye, but why are you cosplaying as a Shanghai young master?
He didn't quite understand, but he didn't care about Danking's idea of ​​meeting people in person.

Yang Yu sent Danking a rough location and waited patiently at the exit.

A few minutes later, another WeChat message popped up.

Yang Yu looked around and, with some difficulty, found Danking in the crowd.

He raised his hand to greet Danking.

Danking walked up to him and looked him up and down in a very familiar manner: "Are all young people this tall these days? What did you eat to grow up like this?"

"Haha, my parents have good genes." Yang Yu smiled. He is 185 cm tall, which is above average. With his good proportions, he looks almost 1.9 meters tall.

So he is considerably taller than Danking.

"But Tiedan, what are you afraid of? You're so handsome, a lot of female streamers would be chasing after you, right?" Yang Yu joked.

"Hey hey~" Danking waved his hand, "Women will only affect my gun speed. I won't do those things before I retire."

He was quite pleased with Yang Yu's praise. He had always thought he was good-looking, and if he were a bit taller, he would be the perfect e-sports star.

Pity.

"Actually, you didn't need to come with me to the tryouts. It's too much trouble for you." Yang Yu was still a little flattered by Danking's gesture.

Danking waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that. You two should go get something to eat. We're starving. It'll be a good opportunity for us to see why the food that Master Hu eats is so expensive."

He had promised Yang Yu that he would get him a trial opportunity, but his own team rejected him. Now that RA has agreed, he is still worried that something might go wrong.

He agreed to this himself, and he intended to put a proper end to it. Since there were no matches to play recently, Danking simply went out to have some fun for a couple of days.

The two went out onto the street and randomly picked a breakfast shop to eat at.

"Four pan-fried buns for 20 yuan." Danking gave a thumbs up. "No wonder it's Shanghai!"

"It's actually acceptable, but it's a bit pricey."

20 yuan can buy 7 pan-fried buns at the Nanjing University cafeteria.

"Let me ask you a question, Potato, do you really only play CS for that short time? Did you play other FPS games before?" Danking was quite curious about this.

He highly recognized Yang Yu's CS skills and did not believe that Yang Yu was cheating.

But Yang Yu's gaming experience and skill level still amazed him. Yang Yu shook his head: "I probably played PUBG for a while in high school, but I spent most of my time studying."

Just then, a foreign couple walked over, and the boy, holding up his phone, asked in English, "Excuse me, could you tell me what this is?"

The boy's phone showed the results of the restaurant's order, but the other party's translator was not ideal, and the translation was a mess.

Upon seeing this, Danking immediately searched his memory for his broken English, wanting to help his international friend.

Yang Yu glanced at the translated picture, pointed to the food at another table of guests, and replied in English, "That's what you want to buy; you can think of it as pork-filled bread."

"Thank you, thank you." After receiving the answer, the other person happily went to order food with his girlfriend.

Danking was quite surprised and said, "Potato, your English is pretty good. Is this your major in college?"

“I studied economics in college,” Yang Yu explained. “But when I was in high school, my family originally planned to send me to study abroad, so I studied IELTS at New Oriental for a year. But just as I got my certificate and was about to go abroad, my family went bankrupt, so I had to go back to the college entrance exam route…”

"Your experience has been quite bumpy. If you hadn't gone bankrupt back then, wouldn't you be an international student now?" Danking took a breath. "Do you think our status as international students playing CSGO gives us a buff? We play CSGO while studying abroad, and you almost ended up playing CSGO while studying abroad."

Yang Yu shrugged. How would he know if something hadn't happened?

"But it still went bankrupt, so I studied economics in college."

"You have a strong learning ability. You went back to repeat a year and got into Nanjing University directly." Danking said with some envy, "Unlike me, who only went to a lousy vocational school."

"My learning ability is not bad," Yang Yu said modestly. "However, my English level has dropped quite a bit. I only managed to review the vocabulary a few months ago when I was taking the CET-4 and CET-6 exams. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to react just now."

"Being able to communicate with foreigners is quite an impressive skill," Danking said, taking a bite of food. "Don't give up on this; it's very useful."

"Even if you don't plan to play domestically in the future, you still have the opportunity to go abroad," Danking joked. "Maybe you'll be the first Chinese player to compete for a foreign team."

Danking is at a disadvantage in this respect because his English is poor, and he encounters all sorts of problems, big and small, every time he goes abroad.

There will always be some inconveniences.

The simplest point is that even if he wanted to exchange experiences with those top foreign professionals, the language barrier would make it difficult to communicate.

He has a very sociable personality; if his English were better, he might be on friendly terms with Sen Zai by now.

Yang Yu thought about it and it seemed like it was indeed possible.

There are very few CS:GO teams in China that are good enough to compete, and there are only a few positions available. The three teams keep changing players, but it's always the same group of people.

Moreover, the strength here is far behind that of the top European teams. Even if we want to reignite CNCS, we need to learn from the top teams.

"Have any foreign teams approached you to play professionally over the years?" Yang Yu asked with a hint of gossip.

“Yes, it’s possible,” Danking replied, “but I was more interested in making a name for myself with CNCS, so I didn’t agree at the time.”

"what about now?"

Danking chuckled: "Right now, all I want to do is finish these buns!"

After finishing their breakfast, the two set off for RA's current base.

I took a taxi to the entrance of the RA base, and Danking saw 259 waiting there from afar.

Danking waved at 259: "Ninth Brother, I've brought you the genius boy!"
