Chapter 28: Who Brought the Boss at 0.18?

Look closely, this man is Xiao Shuai...

He, who had just finished a practice match, gradually showed a brilliant smile on his face.

"GG!!"

Jiang Yang took off his headphones and heard Ma Xixi's excited shout, "With the sound of the sniper rifle, the game is over. Let us congratulate Steel Helmets for taking Ancient Ruins."

"This also means that today, the Steel Helmets' boys, on these three maps, defeated Too Regular with a decisive score of 3-0, achieving a complete victory!"

As the coach of Steel Helmets, Ma Xixi's mouth was almost split to his ears at this moment.

Steel Helmets' victory brought him face.

Yang Yang is so promising!

[This cousin is exaggerating, dominating the ladder, and dominating in professional practice matches too]

[LOL, Too Regular was unconvinced after the first two games and insisted on playing another one, but they were crushed for three games]

[If it was before, Steel Helmets and Too Regular were evenly matched, it mainly depended on the map pool, but Little Jiang is really C+]

[Is this the value of a pro player with 500 hours?]

[He's not even an adult yet, that's the most exaggerated part]

[His sniper really has that kennyS feel, fast and stable]

[Stop mentioning kennyS, K God himself has become fast and fast now]

While the viewers in the livestream were exclaiming, the Steel Helmets players in their voice chat were also quite happy.

Although it was just a practice match, the CS circle in China is small, and they had been playing against each other for a long time, and there was always some lingering dissatisfaction.

Today they directly beat the opponent 3-0, completely overwhelming them, and they felt incredibly refreshed.

DD, who had a straightforward personality, was the first to speak in the voice chat: "Little Brother played very well, your sniper is much better than Liu Ke's!"

The voice chat immediately erupted in laughter.

On map three, Ruins, MO had tried a double sniper tactic, and he missed four shots in a crucial round, which everyone saw.

A burst of laughter filled the room.

Hearing this, MO's face darkened, "Get lost, I'm not a dedicated sniper, how can you compare?"

If there were no comparisons, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The problem was Jiang Yang's sniper's hit rate was extremely high.

As long as his sniper shot, there was basically a kill.

Moreover, he didn't miss many crucial shots.

Anyway, as the game progressed, as long as there was a sniper, the old guys in Steel Helmets would help him pick it up.

This was the sense of security Jiang Yang had given them with his performance.

Ma Xixi then entered the TS voice chat and asked, "MO, how was this assessment match?"

MO immediately replied, "It was good, really good!"

"Finally felt what it's like to win while slacking off today."

MO liked Jiang Yang more and more; the young man was skilled and respected the calls.

Jiang Yang would proactively ask for his opinion on some risky decisions.

This is what a commander should be treated like!

MO stated he had never seen such a wonderful start.

The other guys in the team would just do what they wanted, and sometimes it took many calls to get them to follow an order.

Xiaosage chimed in, "Before the match, I was thinking if my cousin played poorly today, I'd comfort the young man a few words later, but I didn't expect to just win by slacking off."

In this match, Jiang Yang's sniper rifle can be said to have directly tilted the scales of victory.

The players from the 'Too Regular' team were completely helpless against him.

To be honest, the individual skill of the 'Too Regular' team wasn't high, but they played a European-style system-based game, revealing very little information during the match, and they still applied considerable pressure overall.

It was Jiang Yang's first time facing such a playstyle head-on. Logically, he should have been taught a lesson and then slowly adapted before exerting his strength.

But Jiang Yang seemed unaffected.

He still sniped when he had to, and executed ECO rounds when needed.

It felt less like a practice match and more like a ladder game.

He played very relaxed.

Just then, Mingri Qing, the owner of the innate 'clip' body, reminded them in the voice chat, "The post-match stats are out, I've sent them to you."

Ma Xixi raised an eyebrow and immediately pulled up the stats from WeChat.

The first thing he saw were the overall stats for the three maps.

"Whoa, Yang Yang, you're really racking up the kills!"

At first glance, they saw that very conspicuous ID ranked at the very top.

ID: Ma Xixi I'll Top Kill You

Kills/Assists/Deaths: 79/9/38

Average Damage: 127.1

Rating: 1.46

[Good heavens, Cousin really came here to smurf.]

[I thought a connection got them in, but turns out it's a pro.]

[Who hired a booster for 1.46?]

[Two maps crushed, and Cousin still puts up these numbers, it's a bit much.]

[He even has 20 more kills than DD.]

[Cousin is so skilled.]

Jiang Yang also saw his own stats and smiled happily, "It's okay, everyone on the Dust II team was playing well, we just crushed the opponents. Mirage is my Signature Move, so these stats are pretty normal."

Today was his first official professional training match, and he was actually a little stressed.

After all, if he didn't play well, it would really embarrass his Cousin.

So he played very seriously today, and his condition was good, which led to a fairly impressive performance in the end.

Steel Helmets and the other Old Timers felt Jiang Yang's words were full of confidence.

But it should be like this.

What is youth without passion?

Ma Xixi looked at the stats for each map again. Jiang Yang was in first place on every map, consistently outstanding.

Then he saw the stats for the second map and suddenly froze.

[QU, is he even human!]

[0.18, who brought the boss?]

[Coming from QU, he was completely shut down by Little Jiang. He kept trying to play normally and kept getting killed.]

[He was so disoriented later on.]

[This is hilarious, with these stats, I could probably do the same.]

QUQU's training match results were not ideal.

Before the match, he had boasted that he would teach Ma Xixi's Cousin a lesson.

Then, after a few rounds, they didn't even know who they were.

"Is that guy really only 500 hours?" QUQU asked confusedly, "They didn't hire a substitute, did they? This is completely unscientific!"

"Let's go to their voice chat and ask what's going on."

Hearing this, 18YM and the others followed.

They just thought QUQU was talking nonsense from being beaten so badly. After all, by the end of map two, QUQU had a ridiculous rating of 0.18.

Map three was a bit better, but they still lost.

Under these circumstances, it was understandable that QUQU was disoriented.

Moreover, after this BO3 match ended, they also wanted to see who this Ma Xixi's Cousin really was.

Because he was truly fierce, they wanted to get to know him.

So the 'Too Regular' group instantly flooded into Steel Helmets' TS channel.

As soon as they entered the voice chat, QUQU spoke, "Dude, your foreign aid today is way too strong, you completely confused us."

"I feel like this young man's sniping skills are on par with when I was young."

Hearing this, most people in the voice chat were speechless.

Were you trying to flatter yourself? You're trying to piggyback on this.

QUQU was also a former professional player, but he played CSOL in his youth and won the CSOL championship.

His overall skill in CS:GO was completely insignificant.

And who was the one who got completely destroyed with a 0.18 today? They knew it in their hearts.

18YM spoke up then, "Where's Ma Zong's Cousin? Are you really only at the 500-hour level?"

Jiang Yang replied, "Yeah, I just passed 500 hours."

"This is a bit too discouraging," 18YM said, sounding a little sad.

Others used 500 hours to defeat a group of former professional players with thousands of hours of experience.

They also believed their own talents weren't low, considering themselves talented players among ordinary people.

But compared today, it was truly pathetic.

However, after lamenting the gap, he felt some comfort: "Cousin really played well. Work hard and develop in a professional direction. Ma, I feel like your kid can truly save CNCS..."

"I was getting heated in Mirage earlier, your cousin plays really well!"

For old timers like them, they truly refused to admit defeat.

They still harbored the obsession to continue fighting.

But today they lost to the younger generation. Although unwilling, they were also relieved.

After all, with the constant emergence of young people, it proved that fresh blood was appearing in the circle.

Only when newcomers surpass them, the old timers, could there be hope for them to shine on the international stage.

And they had to admit, in Dust II, he truly couldn't win.

During the assault with Steel Helmets, this cousin was like a bulldozer, crushing them.

Killed by pre-aiming, shot first and headshot back, instantly killed by the sniper rifle.

All sorts of deaths, 18YM was completely stunned.

A group of old farts praised Jiang Yang, having a good impression of this newcomer in the circle.

After they left the voice chat, MO signaled Ma Xixi to mute temporarily.

Then he spoke to Jiang Yang again: "Little Jiang, I'll praise you first. You played really well today. Even we find it hard to perform this outstandingly now."

"Your talent in CS is even more remarkable than we imagined."

Jiang Yang grunted. He did play very well today; he was confident about that, and the stats could reflect it.

Thanks to the help of the [Dungeon BOSS], he had adapted to a more complex combat environment in advance. Now entering this kind of confrontation, there was naturally no pressure.

"I'll briefly mention a few issues you have. Firstly, it's your pistol. You play too impatiently with your pistol, often spraying, making it difficult to get kills..."

"Then your rifle play is also a bit lacking. One-on-one is okay, but your consecutive kill ability is poor. You can ask DD about this; he plays rifles very well."

"And then your tactical experience isn't enough. When you have free time, watch more recordings of top-tier matches... No, first try to find recordings of Steel Helmets' previous matches. Get familiar with the tactics we know first."

Jiang Yang listened quietly, but the voice chat fell silent for a long time.

Ma Xixi asked in surprise: "Anything else?"

"What else?" MO asked, confused.

"That's it?"

"That's it!" MO replied, also surprised. "So you still don't know how incredible your cousin's talent is?"

"He doesn't have most of the problems that prodigies encounter. His issues are more with skill and experience. We don't even have much advice to give him."

Ma Xixi gasped: "Is it that exaggerated?"

MO was amused by Ma Xixi's reaction: "Otherwise, why do you think Too Regular lost so miserably today?"

He himself was quite amazed. Jiang Yang's accuracy and decision-making in this practice match had no major problems.

When he first entered the practice match, there was some discomfort.

But Jiang Yang's adaptability was extremely strong, and his adjustment speed made MO marvel.

That's why the formulaic tactics of 'Too Regular' didn't work on Jiang Yang.

"If there are any other issues," MO thought for a moment, "Cousin, you should think of an ID later. I need to submit the roster to the IEM organizers soon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang's expression instantly became troubled.

Thinking of an ID, that was truly difficult.

There's another chapter later tonight.
