CS2: My reaction speed is the limit of human capability.
Chapter 80: Inserting the USB drive
After making it through the online qualifiers of the ZEM Elite Challenge, the entire TyLoo team entered a short period of rest.
Their opponent has been revealed: the domestic team RA. Four days later, they will depart for Beijing to face this familiar adversary.
The training room lights were still bright, and the sound of keyboards clicking filled the air. Tang sat in front of the computer, a FlyQuest match recording playing on the screen.
"Still watching?" Ling Feng walked over with a glass of water and sat down next to Tang Ye. "Isn't our next opponent RA? Why are you still watching FlyQuest videos?"
Tang Ye's answer was both unexpected and reasonable.
"I'm already studying our opponents in the final."
Ling Feng chuckled and shook his head, then naturally sat down next to Tang Ye, leaning back in his chair: "The terrifying single-handed man, that title isn't for nothing. JKS has played too many classic endgames in many competitions. His thinking and sense of rhythm are worth learning from."
Tang nodded thoughtfully.
His gaze fell on the ID on the screen—JKS, the former flag bearer of Australian CS, a veteran who is still competing on the world stage.
That seasoned experience, that mastery of the map's rhythm, that ability to always make the right decisions at crucial moments—these are precisely what Tang Ye lacks most right now.
In the footage, JKS once again pulled off a 1v2 clutch. He first used a flashbang to bait out the first CT's firing position, then darted out at an extremely tricky angle, landing two headshots with two bullets. The entire process was fluid and seamless, without any unnecessary movements.
"Tell me," Tang suddenly spoke, "can we win this time?"
Ling Feng paused for a moment, then laughed: "What, you have moments of insecurity too?"
Tang didn't answer, but just stared at the screen, lost in thought.
He always felt that he had too little experience, and that it was far from enough.
Three months ago, he couldn't even stop suddenly, and he didn't know how to throw a smoke grenade properly. Now, although he can overwhelm most opponents with his reaction speed, will his lack of experience become a fatal flaw when facing a seasoned veteran like JKS?
Perhaps only by winning this championship can I alleviate the anxiety and longing in my heart.
Ling Feng's smile faded, and he looked at him seriously: "Tang Ye, do you know how much you've improved in the past month? From when you first came to Tianlu until now, your marksmanship, awareness, and tactical understanding have all improved significantly."
"And most importantly, you have something that others don't."
"What?"
"A big heart," Ling Feng said. "The more crucial the moment, the calmer you are, and the more skillful you can be. This talent isn't something you can learn; it's innate."
Ling Feng has become increasingly certain after training matches with Tang Ye over this period of time that Tang Ye's big heart is his most precious talent.
This ability to remain calm in adversity and make the only optimal solution at that time is rare in the world.
He paused, his tone becoming more serious.
"So, don't overthink it. Once we get to Beijing, let's just play our hearts out. We'll definitely lift the trophy!"
Tang looked into Ling Feng's eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then smiled.
"it is good."
After Tang Ye and Ling Feng dominated the game, winning 26-0 in two rounds against Steel Helmet, the doubts about Tang Ye and Ling Feng in the community temporarily subsided.
But only a few.
On the one hand, Tang Ye and Ling Feng did indeed deliver phenomenal performances, but on the other hand, it's hard not to feel that their performances were made better by the contrast with their opponents.
After all, the members of Steel Helmet are all getting old, and most of them are former retired players. These players' names once shone brightly in the history of CNCS, but now they are declining, and it is reasonable for their level to drop.
The current situation only shows that Tang Ye and Ling Feng have extremely strong individual abilities, but whether they can fully utilize these abilities when facing strong teams remains a question.
Therefore, many people viewed Tang Ye and Ling Feng's amazing moves as nothing more than bullying the elderly.
"So what if it's 26-0? I could do that too. Their reaction time is slower than my grandma's."
"Those guys in steel helmets are practically dead by now, what's so great about beating them?"
"Let's wait until we encounter a real professional team. RA is not someone to be trifled with."
Similar comments are common in the community.
Of course, many people also spoke up for Tang Ye and Ling Feng.
"You're really not good enough. Even if the other team is slow, they're still professional players. Do you think this is ranked?"
Is it so hard to admit that someone is better? You can't train your reaction speed to that level in a lifetime.
"Don't worry, you'll find out when you play RA."
The debate escalated, with both sides sticking to their own arguments and neither able to convince the other.
For domestic players, CNCS's humiliating defeat at the major has become the biggest topic in the Chinese CS community these days.
That feeling of frustration, that sense of powerlessness, that self-doubt about whether we are really incapable, weighed on everyone's heart like a heavy stone.
The start of the ZEM Elite Challenge and TyLoo's strong performance after the roster change are like a ray of light in the darkness, attracting more and more attention from the community.
Most people are marveling at the individual abilities of the two young players, but they don't think that they are guaranteed to win against RA.
What kind of team is RA?
That's a long-established powerhouse in CNCS, with top-tier riflemen like Zihao, experienced veterans, and a mature tactical system.
Although the team's performance and morale have been affected by the recent match-fixing scandal, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. After all, they are still a professional team, not an old-timer's entertainment team like Steel Helmet.
Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Tang Ye and Ling Feng can continue their previous performance when facing RA.
As it turned out, everyone did indeed have a question mark.
RA definitely didn't play as smoothly without someone. Although Zihao's firepower was still there and the team's coordination was good, it was still a bit too much to face the powerful firepower of Tang Ye and Ling Feng.
In particular, Tang Ye, the newly joined top sniper, made RA feel uncomfortable all over, unable to use his strength.
The first picture shows ancient ruins.
Tang Ye's sniper rifle was like a grim reaper in the middle lane, taking down an opponent with every shot he took. RA tried to limit him with items, tried to counter him with double-staff setups, and tried various tactical strategies to deal with him.
But Tang Ye's reaction speed was too fast, fast enough to locate and fire the instant he saw a person. Any tactics, any strategy, seemed pale and powerless in the face of such pure speed.
After all, a top-notch sniper poses a tremendous threat to a rifleman.
The second picture shows Purgatory Town.
RA adjusted their tactics and began to focus on Tang Ye. They started using the "Tian Ji's horse racing" strategy.
To put it simply, it's about having someone else create firing lines so that Zihao can finish off Tang Ye, attempting to limit the sniper's effectiveness through this self-destruction tactic.
Zihao did achieve his goal, although it cost him one or two lives each time, he successfully killed Tang Ye.
But the price was that Ling Feng went on a killing spree in other positions.
Ling Feng's rifle skills exploded in this match. His aiming was so precise it was like he was cheating, and his movement control was so delicate it was like dancing. Every breakthrough and every follow-up shot was perfectly timed, tearing RA's defenses to shreds.
13:5, Tianlu wins another game.
With a total score of 2-0, TyLoo swept RA and advanced to the semifinals.
With the addition of Tang Ye and Ling Feng, Tianlu's new lineup quickly cleared RA. This special military operation didn't even take 1 hour and 22 minutes; it ended in just over an hour, and the takeout ordered by the machine hadn't even been delivered yet.
"No, my food delivery hasn't arrived yet?" Wanji stared blankly at the screen, completely bewildered.
The comments section was flooded with messages:
"Hilarious, the delivery from the God of Games is still on its way."
"This is a blitzkrieg!"
"Wait, it's over already?"
Looking at the comments on the screen, Wanji shook his head helplessly, but couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
He leaned back in his chair, a hint of emotion in his voice, "Honestly, brothers, this TyLoo team is really something else."
"Tang Ye's performance was absolutely terrifying. RA was targeting him the whole time, but what happened? He still killed people and carried the game. To be honest, he's like Donk; you don't really need to give him any resources, he can still be effective."
"Ling Feng is really amazing. Even when Tang was being targeted, he was able to step up and carry the team. These two, one a main attacker and the other a secondary attacker, work together flawlessly."
He paused, his tone becoming more serious.
"And have you noticed how great the chemistry is on this Tianlu team? Hamburg is doing a great job as a free agent, Xiao Ju is playing exceptionally well, and Mo Siyu is providing excellent support. All five of them are doing their jobs and showcasing their unique talents."
"This feeling is amazing. It reminds me of... the peak of Team A. These five people were like a perfectly coordinated machine, with every gear meshing perfectly."
The player's gaze fell on the MVP's ID on the screen—g0d.
"A month ago, this guy was still playing in the youth training program. A month later, he's using Raider like a spinning top."
"This rate of progress is truly terrifying."
If defeating Steel Helmet before could be described as bullying the elderly, then Tianlu has now truly defeated a real professional team.
Even if RA is in poor form, they're still a professional team. A 2-0 sweep against them is enough to prove TyLoo's strength. The doubts in the community have finally subsided somewhat.
But Tang also knew that this was just the beginning; the semi-finals would be the real test.
Because their opponent in the semifinals is LVG.
The team's sniper, Sanye, is also a genius sniper in CNCS, hailed as "the future of CNCS sniping." His sniping style is agile and elegant, and he likes to perform all sorts of fancy tricks, often pulling off eye-catching maneuvers.
Emilia, the team's entry fragger, is a fierce shooter with an aggressive playstyle, similar to Ling Feng.
These two players share similar playing styles with Ling Feng and Tang Ye, making this match a focus of community attention.
This team, like the current TyLoo, is young, energetic, and talented, and is an obstacle that TyLoo must overcome on its road to the championship.
The business plan (BP) process proceeded very quickly.
The first picture is of Sand Island II, the second is of the town, and the third is of Anubis.
"Sand 2?" Hamburger raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhong Weijie. "Brother Jie, is it okay for us to start on the offensive?"
Zhong Weijie hesitated for a second, then his gaze fell on Tang Ye.
The map Sands II has been thoroughly analyzed and refined by various teams, with basically only two or three tactics being used repeatedly. However, Tang Ye's AWP has a lot of room to shine on this map, especially in the mid-lane matchup. If he can suppress Sanye, TyLoo's attack will be much smoother.
"No problem." Zhong Weijie nodded. "Just play at the same pace as in the practice matches. Remember, the key to this game is controlling the mid lane."
He paused, then looked at Tang Ye: "San Ye is a top-tier sniper in the country, with far more experience than you. But your reaction speed is faster, and your marksmanship is just as good. In this match, I want you to keep him pinned down in the middle, so he doesn't dare to show his face."
Tang met his gaze and nodded calmly.
"clear."
The ban/pick phase is over, and both teams are in position.
The Tin Loo pistol round setup is as follows: Hamburg picks up two P250s and gives one to Lingfeng and one to Tangye, then picks up a flashbang. Mo Siyu picks up a P250 and gives it to Xiaoju, then picks up a smoke and a flashbang himself. Tangye, Lingfeng, and Xiaoju are all wearing half armor.
In pistol rounds, you can't really execute any fancy tactics. TyLoo's strategy this round was to flashbang and rush A site. After all, the B site is too narrow, and rushing B recklessly could easily result in being wiped out by the enemy CTs. Buying a P250 was also to avoid the disadvantage of using a Glock in long-range gunfights in the A site.
Hamburger unleashed a flash of speed, sending Ling Feng out of A University first.
After some searching, no one was found at University A.
The rest of the team filed in, and just then, a blinding flash of light completely blinded the TyLoo players who had just exited Gate A.
Emilia deliberately didn't show herself at the front, waiting for the opponent's A-site flash to end, so that her teammates behind her could flash back and wipe them out. And this flash, which had no trajectory, did indeed blind the TyLoo team.
Emily Adam immediately drew her gun, but after being flashed, the members of Tianlu immediately launched the Pigs tactic.
Throughout history, the pig's tactics have been successfully employed time and again. When attacked, it will huddle against a wall, making its tail impossible to catch, ultimately leaving the attacker helpless.
The members of Tianlu were jumping around, and Emilia was so flustered that she didn't even know who she should fight.
Fortunately, there was still the unlucky Hamburger behind them who threw the item. After Emilia headshot Hamburger, she stopped fighting and wanted to retreat immediately.
But at this moment, Tang had recovered from the flash and killed Emilia with a single shot, tying the numbers.
g0d used a P250 to headshot EmiliaQAQ
"Hurry back! Hurry back! A division from University A!" Emilia called out anxiously into the microphone.
At this moment, Su Shen, the teammate of A, only dared to peek around and observe. Originally, he was supposed to throw the utility and then set up a gun to help Emilia return, but now Emilia was instantly killed. In this situation, it would be best to peek around and fire a few shots to put some pressure on her and stall until his teammates returned to defend.
Su Shen first fired a smoke grenade at the A main intersection, then carefully positioned it beside the smoke grenade, dodging the gunfire from the terrorists' mixed-site positions while waiting for his teammates to return to defend.
However, at that moment, a bullet pierced the sky.

"ah??"
Su Shen was immediately dumbfounded.
Now you can use USB drives for offline tournaments? Has Zaisheng become open source?
