No Teammates and Gun Positions, Watashi

"Turn the air conditioning down a bit, it's a little hot!"

Coach Newhappy, sitting beside him, glanced up. 16 degrees with super strong wind at full blast – it was already freezing.

He understood that JEE wasn't lying, as the sweat on his head was proof.

JEE took a few deep breaths, finding it difficult to calm his emotions.

He opened the scoreboard and took a look. The guy on the opposing team, who was the same age as him, had already achieved a record of 24/4/6 in the first half's 15 rounds.

JEE was starting to sweat profusely.

Seriously, man, weren't you pretty bad in the qualifiers a few days ago?

How are you popping off against us now?

24 kills, 4 assists, 6 deaths – such an exaggerated stat line would be a Carry performance even for an entire match.

And this was just the stats for the first half.

Is it really necessary to be this over the top?

Soon, both teams successfully entered the pistol round of the second half. This time, their teammate on B site was quickly eliminated by young, which finally let JEE breathe a sigh of relief.

When they smoothly secured the pistol round, JEE couldn't help but excitedly shout in the training room, "Nice!!!"

"Don't give them any more chances, let's catch up on the score!!"

"As long as we can hold off their ace, the rest of Steel Helmets are easy to deal with!"

It wasn't surprising he was shouting so loudly; the ID of that young guy on the opposing team held too much deterrence for them!

Plus, this was a BO1 match. If they really lost, they'd be directly eliminated!

Losing to top teams like Tyloo and VG would be understandable.

But losing to Steel Helmets, a team of streamers, would be a huge embarrassment.

"Too bad, too bad."

"I should have just jumped down this wave."

A group of people in Steel Helmets' voice chat were comforting their teammates.

Their coordination still had significant flaws. When they encountered pressure, their play would become somewhat distorted, leading to frequent mistakes.

Now that they had lost the pistol round in the second half, the momentum was clearly shifting back to Newhappy. They all felt considerable pressure.

Fortunately, they managed to successfully plant the bomb, keeping their economy in decent shape.

"Let's try a tactical push with force buys," MO suggested. "Second wave, we'll push from the sewer and mid together, then control VIP and the archway."

This was a variation of a tactic from the old A team, focusing on map control and synchronization, which suited their experienced veteran players.

They were trying to find an opportunity with this play; if they could turn the game around, that would be even better.

The countdown ended. Jiang Yang, following his previous plan, bought a half-plate Desert Eagle and a smoke grenade, leaving some money for a sniper rifle in a full-buy round.

Upon reaching the T-spawn, he immediately started dodging, wary of opponents pushing forward.

DD and Su Di in the sewer methodically advanced to the area below VIP.

Seeing this, MO gave the command: "Push from T-spawn and mid simultaneously to clear mid."

However, the moment they synchronized, they heard gunshots from inside the archway.

But the police player's marksmanship wasn't ideal; not a single shot landed.

Instead, DD landed a headshot with his Tec-9.

"Archway is heavily damaged!" DD shouted as he charged forward.

Su Di, who always claimed to be "as calm as a cow," didn't hesitate to follow up with a kill.

Seeing the situation, Jiang Yang also stepped into the B small passage, helping to watch the VIP direction.

However, gunshots soon erupted from the archway, and Jiang Yang sensed trouble.

"There's another one hiding close up in the archway."

Little Brother said, "The one in the archway is at half health."

Hearing this, Jiang Yang immediately said, "Cover me at VIP."

Then he pushed directly from B small, pre-aiming the archway.

The opponent happened to be moving and wasn't in Jiang Yang's pre-aim spot, but he immediately crouched and pulled the trigger on his Desert Eagle.

"Bang!"

[Young + karsa used Desert Eagle to kill Daniel]

"Good shot!" MO exclaimed, then reminded him, "I'm smoking the archway, you can try to pick up that gun."

As soon as he finished speaking, more good news arrived.

Xiaosage, positioned at L, immediately killed the police officer who peeked out from B short to scout.

"Nice shot!! It's 3v3 now! They have one guy heavily wounded!" DD shouted over voice comms.

You could say that Newhappy's young crew was still a bit impatient, always thinking about getting kills, but not in a smart way like Jiang Yang.

Now, this mistake from the opponent really gave them a chance to make a play.

Jiang Yang immediately threw a smoke grenade into VIP, preparing to go to B short to pick up a gun.

However, under the tutelage of the [Dungeon BOSS], Jiang Yang's discipline was quite good.

After all, poor discipline in that dungeon meant pure suffering.

The opponent was the best teacher.

So, he didn't turn around immediately but planned to wait for the smoke to fully bloom.

Meanwhile, JEE, who was in VIP, heard the sound of the smoke and immediately pulled out, wanting to capitalize on the timing for a kill.

Then, as he pushed out, he saw someone in B short holding a Desert Eagle and directly aiming at him.

"Bang!"

[Young landed a headshot kill on JEE with a Desert Eagle]

JEE, in the training room, was in agony from that shot, completely unable to understand why someone would still be holding an angle at that point.

Now, with his death, the CT side was at a numerical disadvantage.

Could they really be making a comeback...? JEE felt a pang of unease.

In the CSBOY livestream, Ma Xixi became even more excited: "Cousin got another kill with the Desert Eagle, they have the numbers advantage now, they just need to play it slow and regroup, that's MO's top-tier calling!"

"But can MO do it?"

"MO did it, he gathered the three players and decided to fall back and push together from A2, providing support fire. Newhappy made a huge Aladdin-like decision at this moment, splitting up their forces!"

"MO pulled out the wounded CT from near spawn and instantly eliminated them, easily taking the bombsite. They're going to flip it this round!!"

Oh no, without teammates and proper gun positions, watashi...

Newhappy, seeing the situation from the CT side in B, completely froze.

As the C4 exploded at the A site, the score became 11:6.

At this moment, the viewers in the CSBOY livestream were getting hyped.

[They seem to have held their ground in the second half]

[Could it be that Newhappy is actually making a comeback?]

[Don't jinx it, let's remain skeptical, Steel Helmets are trash!]

With Steel Helmets completing the comeback in the second round of the second half, Newhappy's economy completely collapsed.

With their economy in ruins, Newhappy could only force buy. However, with such little money, even though they took down two rifles from Steel Helmets, it didn't make much of a difference.

In the subsequent eco rounds, there was nothing more to say; DD had a field day.

Entering a full buy round again, Newhappy had the strength to counterattack. But now, as the attacking side with AKs, it wasn't just Jiang Yang carrying the team.

DD and xiaosage were also racking up kills like crazy.

The score, without anyone noticing, climbed to 15:9.

Just one round away, and Steel Helmets would successfully advance to the next round!

Newhappy's mentality was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, Jiang Yang heard DD speak up: "Captain called a timeout, gonna smoke and calm down."

"Call two, I'm going to the restroom."

"You know, I've had a cigarette in my hand for two minutes now, I got so busy I forgot."

Jiang Yang: "..."

Sensing Jiang Yang's silence, DD chuckled: "Might as well annoy the opponents. They called so many timeouts in the first half, they like timeouts, right? Let's give it to them."

MO also chimed in: "It's fine, let's take a break during the timeout too. We haven't played a match this intense in a while, gotta rest a bit, guys."

Their move completely threw the opponents off.

Steel Helmets had just reached match point, and Newhappy was under immense pressure. Now, Steel Helmets suddenly called a timeout, making them wonder what top-tier tactics they were considering, their minds were on high alert.

After the timeout ended, Jiang Yang thought for a moment and equipped an AK: "Alright guys, I'm gonna show you some crazy A1 pre-aiming."

MO considered for a moment: "Then I'll throw a fast smoke at VIP. Su弟, you go pressure mid, and we'll push A site simultaneously!"

Su Di replied: "Got it, I'll definitely make them feel like there's an army coming down mid."

Jiang Yang responded: "Switch to manual!"

The group burst into laughter.

As the countdown ended, Jiang Yang, in the first position, immediately arrived at A1.

Since he planned to rush out and seize opportunities immediately, Jiang Yang didn't stop.

But the moment he pulled out, he discovered that the opponent hadn't thrown a Molotov at A1. Instead, he saw a smoke grenade flying towards A2.

Judging by its trajectory, it was clearly thrown from long box!

'Enemy Spotted Bonus +25'

He immediately shouted into the voice chat: "Stop flashing behind us, I've found an amazing opportunity!"

Then, in the next second, he saw a incendiary grenade flying towards him from behind long box, but it detonated prematurely.

Jiang Yang's eyes widened instantly, his breathing becoming excited.

Because this gave him an even bolder idea.

If the smoke on the second floor and the Molotov at A1 were thrown by the same person, unless the other person at point A had no utility.

Otherwise, it would be a solo defense on A!

CS:GO has never been a game that is purely about marksmanship; information and mind games are also crucial factors in this game.

"The opponent should be soloing A. That person is at long box. DD, cover me, I'm going to push the archway directly!"

Jiang Yang thought that if he could take down two opponents instantly, this round would be basically won.

MO understood Jiang Yang's idea and said directly: "The moment you make your move, we'll use our utility on the backline. However, you only have 10 seconds at most, otherwise the enemy positions will be completely messed up."

Jiang Yang nodded, not speaking. Under DD's cover, he advanced in a crab-like stance, slowly pre-aiming.

From the God's eye view, Ma Xixi felt goosebumps rise.

Too bold!

But in CS:GO, sometimes it's the extremely bold who win, and the timid who starve!

"Cousin is still showing off his pre-aiming skills. VIP just missed a timing. This timing is both precise and crucial. Our timing master can't fail."

"Did you calculate this too, cousin?"

"The CT behind long box finally peeked out to gather information, but at that moment, he was instantly killed by DD, who was already prepared!"

As soon as the CT at long box died, the defending team immediately got the information that someone had entered A1, and their overall formation began to shift.

However, the CT at the archway, who had just turned to reinforce, discovered that at some unknown time, a terrorist had appeared at long box.

"Bang!"

[Young killed Navygo with an AK47 headshot]

"He's already at long box!!" Navygo said in confusion over voice chat.

His teammate had just reported that someone had entered A1, so how did he get to long box? Is he the Fourth Hokage?

Jiang Yang's movements didn't stop. His teammates' grenades were already flying in. He quickly moved to spawn, and before the opponents could arrive, he pre-aimed again.

Under the VIP entrance, a police officer stood there, cautiously holding an angle to retake.

But he still underestimated Jiang Yang's speed in reaching spawn.

"Bang!"

[Young killed JEE with an AK47 headshot]

Upon securing this kill, Jiang Yang excitedly shouted: "Brothers, hurry up and plant the bomb, I'm pre-aiming like crazy!"

The appearance of three consecutive kills excited the members of Steel Helmets, and they quickly moved to plant the bomb at point A.

Because it was match point, they were all extremely cautious, reminding each other. Their discipline was at its peak at this moment.

Newhappy's remaining two players wanted to retake.

But they had no teammates, no numbers, no utility, no grenades.

Nothing!

Finally, as Su Di quietly snuck up the middle lane to the archway, he shot both of them in the back.

The score for this Dust II match was set at 16:9.

Steel Helmets, as the streamer team, successfully defeated the professional team Newhappy.

Jiang Yang officially welcomed his first professional match victory!

For matches of this level, especially since it's the protagonist's first official professional match, I will spend a little more ink. For subsequent unimportant parts, I will skip them using concise writing.
