Prison King Makes His First Appearance

Prison King Makes His First Appearance

Ma Xixi was also commentating on the match in his csboy livestream.

He had joined the server too, but was sitting in the spectator seats with a slight delay.

"Are they really this accurate today? They got an ACE in the pistol round?"

Soon, he saw the chat spamming, [Are they about to get turned around?]

Ma Xixi replied helplessly, "Turned around my ass. How are five Glock buys supposed to turn this around? This is way too regular."

But then he saw his cousin charging into the B1 floor with an MP9.

[His cousin heard the ECO call again]

[Is he planning to turn on cheats again?]

[His habits are really bad. He's even cheating in a pro match?]

[He'll get taught a lesson later]

The livestream chat was buzzing with discussion. Ma Xixi said worriedly, "His cousin's pushed all the way to the B1 floor with an MP9. Looks like he wants to farm some kills and warm up."

"And the Terrorists are grouped on the B2 floor this round. Will he get a chance to farm them?"

Jiang Yang crept over to the B2 floor entrance with his MP9, waited for the timing, then quickly swung out to scout.

The moment he peeked, he saw two people holding him, while another was watching the B Tunnel.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yang turned and ran. "There are a lot of people on the B2 floor!"

He liked looking for kills during eco rounds, but he didn't get carried away.

The angle on the B1 floor spiral staircase was terrible. Even with Glocks, the other side could still kill him.

So Jiang Yang chose to fall back first. He ducked behind a box in the corner of the B1 floor, avoiding the headshot angle, then held the spiral staircase.

"Chase him!"

Seeing Jiang Yang try to run, the Terrorists on the B2 floor weren't about to let him go. There weren't many chances to catch someone alone in a round like this. If they could kill the Counter-Terrorist who'd pushed up, then they could make a play afterward. Even if they couldn't turn the match around, they might find a chance to plant the bomb or something.

But they didn't realize Jiang Yang had only given up one angle. He had no intention of running away.

The tables had turned. Jiang Yang now had the better angle and could get the information first.

The moment his opponent appeared, the MP9 opened up with a spray.

They hadn't planted the bomb in the pistol round, and the attacking team had only bought one Flashbang this round. Jiang Yang had taken the initiative now.

The Terrorist on the B1 floor disappeared like a snowflake.

This was what made charging in with an MP9 against a bunch of pistols so damn satisfying!

Then QUQU nearly broke through Jiang Yang's Li Ning with a full magazine of Glock shots.

Luckily, the last bullet in Jiang Yang's spray veered left and hit QUQU in the head, killing him.

Mainly, Jiang Yang didn't want the enemy to pick up his gun and use it if they killed him.

After farming a wave with the MP9, Jiang Yang immediately switched to his pistol and tried to make a play, but he still got traded out.

Seeing the three kill notifications in the upper-right corner, he heard his teammates cry out in the voice chat.

"You actually managed to farm them?"

"Nice, cousin!"

Jiang Yang laughed happily too. "I can play Big Sniper next round~"

An MP9 kill was worth 600 dollars. Three kills meant 1,800.

He hadn't even spent all his pistol-round money, so next round he could buy full armor and a Big Sniper, and still have enough for some utility.

He was taking off!

Hearing how cheerful Jiang Yang sounded, the other members of Helmet laughed too.

Jiang Yang's attitude toward the game reminded them of when they'd first started playing. Back then, they hadn't yet become a bunch of old timers.

This kid really did seem able to bring a different kind of energy to the team... MO thought.

Although the attackers picked up Jiang Yang's MP9, they couldn't make anything happen in a 2v4.

Helmet safely secured the eco round.

[How is he still cheating in a round like this?!]

[I heard the ECO call!]

[Do you even understand how powerful his cousin's talent skill is?!]

[I heard the background audio. He can play sniper next round~ So cute]

[The first two rounds looked pretty good. Let's see how he does in the full-buy rounds]

Jiang Yang's unexpectedly steady start had impressed everyone.

But the level of play and mind games in the full-buy rounds were what really mattered in a match.

In the first full-buy round, though, most of the fight was over A Main. Jiang Yang held Mid for his first shot, then helped throw two Flashbangs. That was all he did that round.

DD and xiaosage used the Flashbangs to push A Main together and overwhelmed the other team.

These old timers were former pros, after all. They still had real skill. They were pretty damn good.

The other side had skill too, but Helmet's old timers were starting to show what they could do, and Jiang Yang was quietly making an impact with his Big Sniper.

The attacking side never bought a Big Sniper, so they didn't give Jiang Yang a chance to duel them head-on in Mid. But in the middle of the round, he kept finding a way to line up one or two kills with his Big Sniper.

They made it all the way to 7:0. It was only this round that B Area finally fell, when the other side suddenly sped up and caught them completely off guard.

The three survivors had planned to fight for A Main, but they were now too far away and could only save their guns.

"My bad. My first shot wasn't on target. We could've held them off otherwise," Su Di said, sounding a little guilty.

"It's fine, it's fine. We're still ahead," MO replied.

The others didn't blame Su Di. After all, he hadn't even seen an enemy in the previous seven rounds. He'd just been dutifully holding B site and controlling the map, without getting any kills or warming up.

It was normal to fail to hold when the other side suddenly sped up.

That was the damn life of a "B anchor"!

On the Too Regular side, everyone let out a long breath when they finally started scoring.

That round had been hard-earned, but getting back on the board was a good start.

18YM spoke up first. "Come on, come on! The mystical scoreline is here. We're starting our comeback!"

7:1 was a classic mystical scoreline in CSGO. There had been too many comebacks at that score.

They were way behind, so of course they hoped they could ride the momentum and catch up.

QUQU chimed in, "Ma Xixi's cousin isn't actually that good, but we don't have a sniper, so he's got way too much room to work. Buy a Big Sniper and limit him."

18YM nodded. "I'm in a good position for it. I can fight for A Main too."

On Dust II, the Terrorists couldn't afford to lose A Main, just like DFN couldn't afford to lose Cerys.

When the countdown ended, 18YM pulled out his knife and charged toward A Main, while his teammates behind him threw Flashbangs to suppress the defenders.

"18YM wants to take a shot with the Big Sniper at A Main. Helmet has two people fighting for control there too. DD throws fire at A Doors and wants to go straight into Pit, but 18YM walks through the fire and snipes DD!"

After getting sniped, DD was just about to curse when the Big Sniper fired again.

[Ma Xixi I'll Top Kill You + DD killed 18YM with an AWP]

"Nice trade!" Jiang Yang's incredibly fast follow-up shot made DD swallow his curse.

18YM could only sigh. "Their trade was too fast."

He'd pulled back almost as soon as he killed DD. He wasn't Olaf; he couldn't do his own thing in the fire.

But just as he'd nearly put away his scope, Jiang Yang had swung out and killed him.

Fast and accurate. Seriously.

QUQU, who'd thrown a Flashbang outside A Doors, quickly picked up the Big Sniper.

"It's fine. We traded one for one, so we're ahead."

When the attackers and defenders traded players in equal numbers, the attackers weren't at a disadvantage, because the defenders had to cover the bomb sites.

Five players defending two sites and two players defending two sites were completely different challenges.

"Whew..." Ma Xixi, commentating from the spectator's view, let out a breath. "The attackers are still playing it safe. They lost control of A Main, but they're still coming over to control B and A Short. They're sticking to the usual process and playing very methodically."

"Meanwhile, Helmet is looking to launch a counter-clear from A Short and Mid."

"One Flashbang, and they push out from A Short and Mid at the same time. Can they get some kills?"

"Su Di's flashbang blinds them, but MO swings out and whiffs!"

"Xiaosage lands a headshot on QUQU, but QUQU kills him with the Big Sniper!"

"Mid counter-clear fails badly!" Ma Xixi shouted anxiously. "Liu Ke, I'm giving you a Z!"

That really was a shame. With the numbers even, taking the initiative and pushing out wasn't a bad idea.

The problem was MO's aim.

If MO had managed to kill one, then even if xiaosage died on A Short, it would've been worth it.

But now, their proactive push had only sped up their own deaths.

"The Big Sniper lands a headshot on A Short! He's down to one HP!"

"There's another guy at half health. They're all around Xbox."

The 4v4 instantly became a 2v4, and Jiang Yang and Su Di were on opposite sides of the map. That left them forced to face a local 1v4.

Nobody spoke in the voice chat. They couldn't see any hope of turning it around.

Jiang Yang felt fine, though. He was used to being locked up in the [Dungeon BOSS] every day, so he'd long since gotten used to situations like this.

He bounced his way onto the A Main path and held the cross from A Short.

That position on A Main was a classic spot for snipers.

As long as you handled it well, this spot was your stage!

Jiang Yang scoped in with his Big Sniper and quietly held the second angle on the A Short passage.

It was hard to get flashed in this position, and he could also fall back if needed.

The other side used utility to push through the fire on A Short. That made Jiang Yang even more alert.

Soon, a Terrorist strafed into view. Jiang Yang didn't rush. He waited until the man entered the center of his crosshair, then pulled the trigger.

"—Bang!"

[Ma Xixi I'll Top Kill You killed tb with an AWP]

The moment he got his first kill, Jiang Yang moved diagonally forward to the left. Once his Big Sniper's cooldown was up, he held the Double Crossfire over the area on A Short.

When no one appeared right away, he edged to the left with his Big Sniper.

He was at full health now. As long as the second player didn't have a Big Sniper, he could trade his health for a kill.

He'd get the information faster if he peeked right.

Then, as he moved into the third position, he saw a Terrorist appear in his field of view.

Before the teammates watching had time to react, Jiang Yang had already pulled the trigger.

"—Bang!"

[Ma Xixi I'll Top Kill You + MO headshot Franke19 with an AWP]

A Flashbang came flying in right after. Jiang Yang's vision went completely white, and he could only back away while blinded.

But the moment they heard it in the voice chat, the Fountain Commanders got excited!

"Su Di, get back to site!"

"It's 2v2 now. Little Brother, don't rush. Wait for Su Di to get back!" DD shouted in his distinctive broad accent.

Jiang Yang didn't follow their instructions completely. As soon as his vision cleared, he tossed a Flashbang into the sky to take an angle.

He'd figured the first two wouldn't have snipers, which was why he'd dared to play so aggressively.

With the first two dead, the odds that the last two had snipers were much higher.

The moment the Flashbang went off, Jiang Yang swung out to check. He saw a Terrorist on A Short, eyes covered, spraying wildly.

Without hesitation, he shot the man dead, then quickly hopped backward.

"The last one's on A Short!" his teammates shouted, trying to keep their excitement in check.

But they didn't need to tell him. The sniper on A Short had already swung out to trade.

The other side hadn't expected Jiang Yang to move like a cat, so quick on his feet.

But that also meant Jiang Yang had lost his angle.

Jiang Yang's sudden burst of kills had his teammates hyped, and Ma Xixi, commentating nearby, suddenly raised his voice too.

"The Big Sniper has stopped three of them! QUQU swings out from A Short with his Big Sniper and misses! Now the Terrorists have to figure out how to win this 1v2!"

"The bomb is at the A Short crossing. QUQU's in a tough spot now. They know there's only one Big Sniper at A site, but they didn't expect him to stop all of them!"

QUQU held the A Main crossing tightly as he inched toward the Ninja position.

In this clutch, all he could do was hope the Big Sniper on A Main wasn't watching him, or that the other guy would do something stupid and let him land a shot.

But suddenly, he saw a ghostly figure dart out.

QUQU reflexively flicked a shot at him, but his sniper rifle wasn't nearly accurate enough.

There was only one word in his mind—

We're screwed!

"His cousin only needs to hold the crossing to win the round, but he doesn't want to do that. Instead, he uses a Spinning Jump to bait QUQU into taking a shot, then swings out and even quickscopes him!!"

The livestream was instantly flooded with question marks.

[What's going on with his cousin?!]

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

[What kind of aim is that?]

[He was quiet, and then suddenly he started wiping them out?]

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

"Holy shit, my cousin's this good with a sniper?" Ma Xixi was stunned after finishing his commentary.

"Those shots were so fast. And honestly, it's not just his aim. He keeps playing mind games as he shoots. He never gave them a chance to trade him. You get what I mean?"

Because they were related, Ma Xixi's assessment was quite fair. He was already holding back a lot.

Lightning-fast reactions, rational yet aggressive decisions, and astonishing accuracy.

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

For some reason, he had a feeling.

His cousin would definitely stand on the stages of top-tier tournaments and become a true star player!

In Too Regular's voice chat, everyone was complaining.

"That kid on the other team reacts way too damn fast."

"I was on the follow-up shot immediately, but I still couldn't get him!"

"How the hell did he sneak his way into first place?"

"I really don't understand why he came out and hit me with a Spinning Jump in that situation."

Listening to the nonsense in voice chat, 18YM let out a long sigh.

The painful memories of ranked games suddenly came back to haunt him.

He could already tell they were going to lose this scrim.

They'd gone all out. They really had.

The scrims had more or less served their purpose, and from here on, they would gradually move into official matches...
