The Prison King Appears

Chapter 27: The King of Holding Emerges

In the csboy livestream room, Ma Xixi was also casting this match.

He had also entered the server, but was in spectator mode with a slight delay.

"They're this accurate today? An ACE on the pistol round?"

Soon, he saw the bullet comments flashing with [Is it going to be a comeback?].

Ma Xixi replied speechlessly, "What comeback? How are they going to come back with five Glocks against Too Regular?"

However, he immediately saw his cousin grab an MP9 and head straight for B1.

[Cousin heard the ECO sound again]

[He's planning to rush again]

[I feel like Cousin's habits are pretty bad, rushing in pro matches]

[He's gonna get schooled later]

The livestream room buzzed with discussion, and Ma Xixi also said with some worry, "Cousin is pushing B1 with an MP9, looks like he wants to get into the groove."

"And the Ts are grouped up on B2 this round, does he have a chance to get some kills here?"

Jiang Yang, holding his MP9, silently approached the B2 entrance. He waited for the timing, then peeked out to scout.

As he peeked, he instantly saw two players holding his angle, and another player holding the B main direction.

Jiang Yang didn't hesitate and immediately retreated, "Too many people on B2!"

Although he liked to go for kills in these eco rounds, he wasn't reckless.

The position at the B1 spiral staircase was too disadvantageous. Even with Glocks, the opponents still had the ability to counter-kill him.

So Jiang Yang chose to fall back first, directly taking cover behind a box in the B1 corner to avoid the headshot line, and then held the spiral staircase.

"Chase!"

Seeing Jiang Yang trying to run, the Ts on B2 were naturally unwilling. Opportunities to catch a lone player were rare in these rounds. If they could take down this pushing CT, they could then make further plays, and even if they couldn't complete the comeback, they could still find opportunities to plant the bomb or something.

But they didn't expect Jiang Yang was just repositioning and had no intention of escaping.

This reversed the situation. Jiang Yang now had the advantageous angle and could get information first.

The moment he saw the enemy appear, the MP9 immediately opened fire.

The attacking team hadn't planted the bomb in the pistol round, so they had only bought one flashbang this round. Jiang Yang struck first.

Watching the Ts on B1 disappear like snowflakes.

This was the thrill of an MP9-wielding special forces soldier rushing in an eco round!

Later, QUQU's Glock with a full magazine almost broke through Jiang Yang's Li Ning armor.

Fortunately, Jiang Yang's last bullet went slightly left, headshotting and killing QUQU.

Mainly, Jiang Yang didn't want the enemy to pick up his weapon and use it if he was killed.

After getting a multi-kill with the MP9, Jiang Yang immediately switched to his pistol, wanting to make more plays, but he was still traded.

Looking at the three kill notifications in the top right corner, his teammates' surprised exclamations filled the voice chat.

"You actually got a multi-kill?"

"Well done, Cousin!"

Jiang Yang also laughed happily, "Next round I can play the sniper rifle~"

An MP9 kill gave an economic reward of 600, so three kills meant 1800.

He hadn't even spent all the money from the pistol round, and the next round he could afford a full-armor sniper rifle, and even some utility.

He was flying!

Hearing his cousin's cheerful voice, the other members of Steel Helmets also smiled.

Jiang Yang's attitude towards the game made them feel like they were back when they first started playing, when they weren't Old Timers yet.

This kid really seems to bring a different kind of energy to the team... MO thought.

Although the attacking team picked up Jiang Yang's MP9, in a 2v4 situation, they couldn't make any significant waves.

Steel Helmets steadily secured the economic round.

[How can he still rush in a round like this!]

[I heard the ECO sound!]

[Do you understand the power of Cousin's talent skill!]

[I heard the background music, he can play the sniper next round~ So cute]

[The first two rounds looked good, let's see how he does in the later rifle rounds]

Jiang Yang's surprisingly steady start had impressed them.

But the skill and mind games in the later rifle rounds were the core of the match.

However, on the first long-gun round, both sides focused their contention on A main. Jiang Yang got off the first shot in mid early on, and later helped by throwing two flashbangs. This wave ended quickly.

DD and xiaosage, using flashbangs in coordination in A main, directly overwhelmed the opponents.

One could only say that these former professional players, the Old Timers, still had real skill, quite impressive.

Although the opposing side also had skill, the Old Timers on Steel Helmets were also continuously exerting force, and Jiang Yang's sniper rifle was also silently contributing.

The attacking side never bought a sniper rifle, denying Jiang Yang a chance for a head-on duel in mid. However, in the mid-round, his sniper rifle always managed to get one or two kills.

They pushed all the way to 7:0. This time, only the B site was lost once, caught off guard by the opponent's sudden speed-up.

The three remaining players had originally planned to contest A main, but the distance was now too great, forcing them into a save round.

"My bad, I didn't set up my first shot properly; otherwise, we would have held this wave," Su Di said with a hint of self-blame.

"It's okay, it's okay, we have the advantage," MO replied.

The others didn't blame Su Di either. After all, in the previous seven rounds, Su Di hadn't even seen an opponent, and had been diligently controlling the B site the entire time, with no sense of rhythm.

Suddenly being hit by a speed-up and failing to respond was quite normal.

This was the 'life of a B main player' in the trenches!

On the 'Too Regular' side, seeing that they had finally started scoring, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This point was hard-earned, but starting to score again now was a good beginning.

18YM took the initiative to speak, "Come on, come on, the mystical score is here! Let's start catching up and making a comeback!"

7:1 was a classic mystical score in CS:GO, where too many comeback moments had occurred.

They were now trailing by a large margin and naturally hoped to use this momentum to catch up.

QUQU also chimed in, "Ma Xixi's cousin isn't that skilled either, but we don't have a sniper, so he has too much room to play. You should buy a sniper rifle to limit him."

18YM nodded, "It's a good thing my position is suitable, I can contest A main."

On the Dust II map, the terrorists cannot lose A main, just like DFN cannot lose Ceria.

As the countdown ended, 18YM sprinted towards A main with his knife out, while his teammates behind him helped by throwing flashbangs to suppress.

"18YM's sniper rifle wants to take a gamble in A main. Steel Helmets also has two players contesting control of A main. DD throws a molotov at A door, intending to go straight into pit, but 18YM steps into the fire and snipes DD!"

After being sniped, DD was about to curse when he heard the sniper rifle fire again.

[Ma Xixi, I'll kill you + DD used AWP to kill 18YM]

"Good trade!" Jiang Yang's extremely fast trade kill made DD swallow his curse.

18YM also said helplessly, "The opponent's trade kill is too fast."

He almost immediately retreated after taking down DD, after all, he wasn't Olaf and couldn't "do himself in the fire."

But the moment he almost closed his scope, he saw Jiang Yang peek out and take him down with a shot.

So fast and accurate, truly.

QUQU, who was throwing a flashbang outside A door, quickly picked up his sniper rifle.

"It's fine, 1 for 1 is a profit for us."

An equal number of player exchanges between the attacking and defending sides, due to the existence of the defensive bombsite, the attacking side is definitely not at a disadvantage.

Defending two sites with 5 people is completely different in difficulty from defending two sites with 2 people.

"Hiss~" Ma Xixi, commentating from a god's-eye view, took a breath, "The attacking side is still playing it safe. Having lost control of A main, they still proceed to control B and A short, following the usual procedure, playing very European-style."

"And then, Steel Helmets, at A short and mid, plans to execute a counter-push."

"With one flashbang, they charge out of A short and mid! Can this push work?"

"Su弟's flashbang is very white, but MO peeks out and misses his shots!"

"Xiaosage, however, directly landed a headshot on QUQU, but he was also counter-sniped by QUQU's sniper rifle!"

"This mid-round counter-push is a complete failure!" Ma Xixi said anxiously, "Liu Ke, I'll give you a Z!"

This round was indeed a pity. At equal numbers, initiating an attack was not a problem.

But the problem lay in MO's marksmanship.

If MO could have taken down one opponent, even if xiaosage died at A short, it would have been a profit.

But now, this aggressive push has only accelerated their own demise.

"Sniper rifle headshot at A short, one HP left!"

"There's one more with half health, the opponents are all around the Xbox area."

The 4v4 endgame instantly turned into a 2v4. Moreover, Jiang Yang and Su Di were on opposite sides of the map, forcing them into a localized 1v4 situation.

Silence fell over the voice chat, as they saw no hope for a comeback.

Jiang Yang actually felt fine. After all, he spent his days grinding in the [Dungeon BOSS], so he was used to this kind of situation.

He hopped and skipped onto the A main passage, setting up his sniper rifle to cover the entrance.

This position at A main was a classic spot for a sniper.

As long as your execution was good enough, this spot would be your stage!

Jiang Yang scoped in with his sniper rifle, quietly holding the second point of the A small passage.

Holding this position made it difficult for him to be hit by flashes, and he also had room to retreat.

The enemy on A small immediately started suppressing him with utility, which made Jiang Yang even more vigilant.

Soon, he saw a terrorist swing across his scope. Jiang Yang didn't rush, waiting until he ran into the center of his crosshairs before pulling the trigger.

"--Bang!"

[Ma Xixi I'll Kill You used AWP to kill tb]

The moment he got the first kill, Jiang Yang pushed slightly to the front left. Once his sniper rifle's cooldown was ready, he set up a double hold on the A small area.

Seeing no one immediately, he moved his sniper rifle slightly to the left.

He was at full health right now. As long as the enemy's second player wasn't a sniper, he could trade kills with his health.

Peeking to the right, he could get information faster.

Then, on the third move, he saw a terrorist appear in his vision.

Before his teammates spectating could even react, Jiang Yang had already pulled the trigger.

"--Bang!"

[Ma Xixi I'll Kill You + MO used AWP to headshot Franke19]

Immediately after, a flashbang came flying in, blinding Jiang Yang. He could only walk backward blindly.

But the few "spring water commanders" in the voice chat instantly got excited!

"Little Brother, hurry back and defend!"

"It's 2v2 now, little brother, don't rush, wait for Su-bro to come back!" DD also shouted in his characteristic broad accent.

Jiang Yang didn't completely listen to them. Once his vision cleared, he immediately threw a flashbang into the sky, aiming to disrupt the enemy's position.

He had previously guessed that the first two enemies wouldn't be using snipers, which was why he dared to play so aggressively.

With the first two dead, the probability of the remaining two holding snipers was much higher.

The moment the flashbang detonated, Jiang Yang peeked out and saw a terrorist frantically spraying in A small while covering his eyes.

Without hesitation, he took him down with a single shot and quickly jumped back.

"The last one is in A small!" his teammates' voices, suppressed with excitement, came through the comms.

But they didn't need to remind him, because the sniper on A small had actively peeked out to trade shots.

However, the enemy didn't expect Jiang Yang to be as agile as a cat.

But this also resulted in Jiang Yang losing his angle.

Jiang Yang's sudden burst of play not only excited his teammates but also made Ma Xixi, who was commentating nearby, raise his voice.

"The sniper held off three people. QUQU peeked out from A small and missed his sniper shot. Now the terrorists need to figure out how to win this 1v2!"

"The bomb is on the A small passage. QUQU is in a tough spot now. They knew there was only one sniper on A, but they didn't expect this sniper to take them all down!"

QUQU held the A main passage tightly, inching his way towards the ninja position.

Now, in this clutch situation, he could only hope that the sniper on A main wasn't holding him, or that the enemy would make a mistake, allowing him to get a kill.

But suddenly, he saw a ghostly figure float out.

QUQU instinctively flicked his shot, but his sniper rifle was far from precise.

In that instant, only one word came to his mind--

It's over!

"Cousin just needed to hold the passage, and this round would be secured, but he didn't want that. Instead, he used a jump peek to bait QUQU's shot, then peeked out with an instant flick shot!!"

The livestream was instantly filled with question marks.

[What's up with this cousin!]

[Ma Xixi I'll Kill You got a pentakill!]

[What kind of marksmanship is this, cousin?]

[Silently wiped the board all of a sudden?]

[Wait, when did this guy get to 12/1?]

"Holy crap, is my cousin's sniping that good?" Ma Xixi was astonished even after commentating.

"Those shots were too fast, and honestly, it wasn't just about marksmanship. He was constantly playing mind games, and he didn't give the enemy a chance to trade shots, you know?"

Because of the family connection, Ma Xixi's evaluation was quite fair and restrained.

Extremely fast reactions, rational yet aggressive choices, and incredibly high accuracy.

He didn't seem to be looking at a player who had just joined the team, but at a true superstar.

He had a strange feeling.

His own cousin would definitely stand on those top-tier stages and become a true star player!

In the Too Regular voice chat, everyone was complaining.

"That young guy on the other team has ridiculously fast reactions."

"I was already trying to finish him off the moment I saw him, but I couldn't!"

"How the hell did he get to first place without us even noticing!"

"He did a spin-and-jump on me in that situation, I really don't get it."

Listening to the nonsensical chatter in the voice chat, 18YM sighed.

The memories of dying in ranked matches suddenly attacked him again.

He already felt like today's practice match was over.

He'd gone all out, truly all out.

Practice matches were about to end, and they would soon move on to the official matches
