The Entire World's CS Level Drops Tenfold, While Mine Remains Unchanged

"Nice!!!"

"You guys are awesome, awesome!!"

"Holy crap, we actually won!!"

"Little Sheep played great, have a smoke and calm down, holy crap, we actually won!"

The moment the match ended, the voice chat was filled with the excited voices of the Old Timers.

Jiang Yang was also incredibly happy and cheered along for a long time.

Although he hadn't been playing with Steel Helmets for the first day, this was Jiang Yang's first official professional match.

He had played qualifiers before, but most of the teams in those qualifiers were made up of college students with no combat power.

Today's opponent was a legitimate professional team registered on HLTV!

Coupled with the fact that losing one match meant elimination, the pressure they felt was naturally immense.

Now, Jiang Yang felt completely enveloped in ecstasy.

Immediately after, he heard Ma Xixi join the voice chat, excitedly praising, "Awesome, young men, you did it!!"

"Little Sheep is just too strong, he was the entire carry today," Xiaosage praised. "He always steps up in desperate situations."

Hearing this, DD mumbled indistinctly, "What are you saying... Little Sheep played well even when we were ahead, right? Today we just pure carried to victory, okay?"

Although carrying the team to victory wasn't exactly rare, Jiang Yang was still happy to hear the older brothers in the team praise him like this.

"Everyone played well too," Jiang Yang didn't hold back his voice. The members of Steel Helmets had indeed been flawless in this match.

There were no issues with their firepower or communication.

Steel Helmets' biggest problem was actually playing too much in ranked matches; everyone was a bit too reckless and lacked discipline.

But perhaps because of the tempering from [Dungeon BOSS], he didn't have high demands for his teammates.

After all, the 4 teammates in [Dungeon BOSS] were no different from bots. Today, Steel Helmets could mostly handle the pressure on their own, and often even gained an advantage. This was simply fantastic.

Jiang Yang stated he had never seen such a beautiful start.

He wanted to cheer, he wanted to celebrate.

MO was also very happy. Although he had retired and become a commentator, these former professional players still longed for competition.

When they first formed Steel Helmets, it was just to participate in tournaments that streamers could sign up for. But as they played, the streamer vs. streamer competitions were no longer enough for them.

Naturally, they wanted to compete in higher-level matches, but unfortunately, they were all Old Timers. They had the foundation and experience, but when they actually played against active professionals, they always fell just short.

Even MO hadn't expected that Jiang Yang's addition would bring such a significant improvement to them.

Steel Helmets had been lacking an excellent sniper before; previously, he, the shot-caller, had to take on the sniper role, and they wouldn't even buy a sniper unless absolutely necessary.

Jiang Yang's arrival gave this Steel Helmets a stronger combat capability and a huge boost in firepower!

Now, the entire Steel Helmets seemed to have improved by a whole tier in strength.

His stable kills with the sniper rifle, his damage output in clutch situations, and his strong performance in ECO rounds had significantly reduced their pressure.

This greatly eased MO's burden as the shot-caller and also freed up DD, the former number one entry fragger in Asia.

Furthermore, one thing truly amazed MO: Jiang Yang, despite being a newcomer, sometimes performed more like a professional than they did.

His playstyle was aggressive yet controlled, and they rarely saw him make any brain-dead plays.

Take today's opponent, Newhappy, for example. Although they were a professional team, they sometimes engaged in unnecessary duels. Even as an opponent, MO found it baffling.

Both were 16-year-old prodigies, but Jiang Yang had none of the flaws that the Newhappy players exhibited.

He was simply a perfect newcomer!

MO mentally upgraded Jiang Yang's talent level once again.

After today's match, the kid's resume could be updated.

Jiang Yang: 16-year-old prodigy sniper.

Resume: Led Steel Helmets to defeat Newhappy.

With that thought, MO spoke up:

"Everyone played very well today, great job, brothers, you were all very calm!"

"And a special shoutout to Cousin, he was a war god in Dust2 today! Keep up the great work!"

Ma Xixi chimed in, "My Yang really played well. From the God's eye view, he was actually the calmest one. You guys were way too reckless."

Ma Xixi's tone was playful, so no one took it seriously, and they quickly started bantering.

However, just then, they heard the cyborg Su Di suddenly exclaim.

"This Cousin is really a C+, I'm in tears just looking at these stats."

At this point, the people in the voice chat finally noticed the post-match statistics.

Then, with just one glance, Ma Xixi's eyes widened.

"Ah!?"

ID: Young

Kills/Assists/Deaths: 32/4/7

Survival Rate: 92%

Average Damage: 162.1

Rating: 2.21

[Holy crap, these stats scared me.]

[Huh? How many?]

[A new king of the misty city is about to appear?]

[I was wondering why CNCS pro teams are so bad. Turns out it's Cousin farming noobs.]

[No, that's a 4.something KD!]

[He even has 162 average damage.]

[CS skill level in the whole world dropped tenfold, but I didn't change.]

Ma Xixi turned to look at Jiang Yang: "Did you get these stats?"

Jiang Yang shrugged: "What else?"

Ma Xixi said in surprise: "That shouldn't be right. Our family genes shouldn't be that strong. How come you're so amazing!"

MO grumbled from the side: "His average damage and rating are both higher than your height."

Ma Xixi's face darkened. Can't you just not say it when it hurts?

However, he immediately took a closer look at the stats and started to retort: "You're blaming me? In the first half, playing defense, my Cousin killed more than the four of you combined. What were you guys even doing!"

The members of Steel Helmets were also a bit surprised.

During the match, they did feel like Jiang Yang was the stabilizing force.

But they hadn't paid attention to the exact number of kills.

Now, seeing the match results, they realized Jiang Yang had been going on a killing spree.

Even though many of those kills were from him playing as a special forces soldier, being able to do that, and do it effectively, was still a skill!

Jiang Yang replied: "This map is my strong suit. I might not perform as well on other maps."

He was most familiar with this map. Whether it was pre-aiming spots, gun positions, or decision-making for sniper positions, he performed best.

His familiarity with other maps was relatively lower.

"You're being modest. You really played very well," Xiaosage praised. "Keep it up tomorrow. Later tonight, I'll treat you to a late-night snack. I'm going to log off and rest for a bit."

Hearing him say that, the other members of Steel Helmets also felt a sense of fatigue. One by one, they left the voice chat with a sense of satisfaction.

Thanks to Steel Helmets' great victory and Jiang Yang's outstanding performance, gifts were continuously pouring into the CSBOY livestream.

Fortunately, Jiang Yang was no longer an assistant and didn't have to thank people for gifts.

He downloaded the replay of the match they just played and began a brief review.

However, more than reviewing, he was admiring his own excellent performance.

After all, it was a 2.21 rating!

It should be known that with the current rating algorithm, achieving a 1.3 was already considered very C+.

A 2.21 rating was enough to be two people's worth of stats.

Jiang Yang was really impressed with himself.

Yet, he still discovered that even in some of the matches they had already won, he could have played even better.

This realization somewhat quelled Jiang Yang's arrogance.

He started to seriously analyze the replay.

When a player truly loves CS and strives for constant improvement.

The pursuit of perfection is bound to accompany their journey.

After finishing the replay review, Jiang Yang also noticed that the [Hextech Advanced Transmogulator] he had been using had less than 2 hours of time remaining.

His heart was filled with both anticipation and a bit of unease.

What would the [Dungeon BOSS] be transformed into?

There will be another chapter later. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone~
