Wan Ji Qi: "I Support Steel Helmets as the Spokesperson!"

Regarding MO's words, the other members of Steel Helmets didn't think much of it.

After all, it was Tyloo; they were one of the few domestic teams capable of producing stickers.

The difference between them and professional teams like Newhappy was still quite significant.

If Tyloo couldn't even beat Steel Helmets, they wouldn't even be able to achieve a "glorious defeat."

Tomorrow would definitely be a massive upset!

After the interview, the members of Steel Helmets didn't take it to heart, focusing more on discussing how to play the upcoming match.

Although they felt they couldn't win, they still wanted to snatch a few rounds from Tyloo if possible.

In streamer "Wan Ji Qi's" room 6657.

Wan Ji Qi, with his unique and charming voice, was holding forth in his stream.

"Who does the streamer support in the Steel Helmets vs. Tyloo match?"

"Of course, I support Steel Helmets!"

"Steel Helmets has the most influential coach in the entire professional scene, former Tyloo meritorious member MO, DD, Su弟, xiaosage, nicknamed 'Lock God,' and currently the strongest prodigy in CNCS, Cousin. I don't even know how they could lose."

Wan Ji Qi wanted to ramble on a bit more, but before he could finish, he himself couldn't help but burst into laughter.

[To say Steel Helmets can win, Wan Shen is quite the bullshitter]

[Isn't this the biggest gathering place for bullshitters?]

[Actually, I think there's a real chance]

[I'm looking forward to seeing where Ma Xixi's Cousin goes after this RMR. His talent is truly exaggerated]

The live chat was buzzing with discussions. Wan Ji Qi quickly heard the stream volume decrease and immediately switched the screen.

He switched back just in time to see the BP scene appear.

"Tyloo chose the map first, and they directly banned Nuke. They definitely won't play this map," Wan Ji Qi said with some emotion.

Back in the 1.6 era, this map was once the pride of CNCS.

But now, even the strongest domestic team was unwilling to spend much effort on this map.

After some consideration, Steel Helmets directly banned Inferno.

Steel Helmets had absolutely no practice on Inferno.

Tyloo's first pick came up.

"?" Jiang Yang was a bit surprised. "They just locked Mirage directly?"

He was a little surprised. Did Tyloo not know that their Mirage win rate had been very high recently?

Sensing Jiang Yang's confusion, DD explained, "It's normal. Mirage is also a strong map for Tyloo. They don't need to change their pick just because of us."

Although it was cruel, they weren't a threat that Tyloo needed to be wary of.

However, for Jiang Yang, this was also good news.

MO asked in the voice chat, "Which map do you want to play for the second map?"

Jiang Yang spoke up, "How about Dust II? That map is simple, and it's not too difficult for us to execute."

Mainly, Dust II was a map that suited snipers well.

Jiang Yang could showcase his stronger skills, unlike maps like Train, where even if he wanted to perform, he was powerless.

After each team banned one more map, Ancient Ruins was ultimately left as the third map.

The BP officially ended, and Wan Ji Qi also told his viewers he was going to the restroom.

When Wan Ji Qi returned, he saw the score had already reached 0:1.

"What the hell? The pistol round is already over?" Wan Ji Qi exclaimed in surprise.

[So true, this is indeed room 6657]

[6657 once again doesn't have a pistol round, the alarm bells are ringing!]

[6657, look at what you're protecting!!]

Wan Ji Qi wasn't a young kid anymore and wouldn't say things like "I'm so wronged." His thick skin had been thoroughly developed.

He wasn't affected by the audience's teasing at all and quickly began his opening remarks: "Alright, welcome to this Asian RMR matchup. I am your commentator for this match, Wan Ji Qi!"

"Just now, in the moment I was welcoming you, Tyloo took the eco round unscathed. The score is now 0:2."

"The match is about to enter a full buy round. Now we'll see if Steel Helmets has any counter-measures."

The initial two rounds being easily taken by the opponent put a slight pressure on Steel Helmets.

MO began to consider a strategy: "For this round, I want to let Little Sheep and DD handle A site. Let's try to push aggressively on B site at the start."

This round, there were no sniper rifles, and with Jiang Yang's position not being ideal, MO didn't plan to build the strategy around him.

Jiang Yang was naturally fine with this. After some thought, he spoke up, "Then I won't go for mid information. I'll head straight to DD on the CT Spawn side of the bombsite."

If they weren't controlling mid, they might as well be decisive.

After the group discussed their plans, they each headed towards their designated defensive areas.

DD started with an A1 Molotov to prevent a rush, while Jiang Yang casually threw a flashbang towards mid-long to apply some pressure.

However, to their surprise, as soon as their utility was deployed, they saw a barrage of utility flying from the terrorist spawn direction.

"A site pop flash!" Jiang Yang warned. "DD, let's fall back to CT Spawn. Tyloo is just throwing this round!"

DD had intended to use a smoke for self-preservation and to stall, planning to play off that smoke.

Upon hearing Jiang Yang's words, though he didn't understand why 'Tyloo was just throwing this round,' he obediently retreated.

Jiang Yang's thinking was clear, and he immediately instructed his teammates, "Don't rush your utility. The captain has an HE Grenade, so we don't need to panic this round."

"Wait for the CT Spawn and link smoke to dissipate, then we'll use our utility to clear out some positions in the dead end, followed by smokes for A1 and A2 to split them up."

With Jiang Yang's series of commands, everyone else's train of thought became clear.

On the map Dust II, while a simple A site pop flash was feasible, if they only relied on a ladder-like pop flash and didn't contest key positions like the Platform or CT Spawn for gunfights, then even securing the bombsite would leave them extremely passive.

This was especially true without extensive utility exchanges early on.

Therefore, when Jiang Yang saw Tyloo's early pop flash, he felt Tyloo was simply throwing the round.

Wan Ji Qi, watching from a God's perspective, was impressed by Steel Helmets' calm response.

"Although this pop flash was successful, Tyloo has also committed all their utility."

"But Steel Helmets still has their utility in hand. Can Tyloo really withstand this utility retake?"

"Fire in the dead end, HE Grenade at short box, two people hiding in the dead end were melted by utility!"

"A2 Floor is obscured by smoke. Baicai in A1 had to push out and fight, but young, rotating from CT Spawn, instantly took him down!"

"Now only Danking and Little Ghost are left in A2 Floor. Little Ghost tries to make a play by smoking his way out, but young holds the angle!"

"Danking, still in the smoke, tries to take a chance, but Xiao Nian Qing gives him no opportunity and headshots him through the smoke!"

"Steel Helmets achieved an ACE in a full buy round!" Wan Ji Qi exclaimed. "MO's shotcalling is impressive, and their discipline is surprisingly on point today!"

At this moment, in Steel Helmets' voice chat, everyone was excitedly shouting, "Little Sheep is amazing!"

"That shotcall was incredible, so much better than Liu Ke's!"

"Exactly, why don't we have him shotcall sniper rounds from now on? Let's bench Liu Ke!"

Hearing this, MO's face darkened. "You guys always pick on me."

A burst of laughter erupted, and no one paid it any mind.

MO naturally didn't care about the issue of shotcalling. In the Steel Helmets team, shotcalling was often determined by who could shout the loudest.

And it had to be said, Jiang Yang had seized the opportunity this time and issued the appropriate commands.

Winning was the best outcome.

Jiang Yang glanced at the score displayed above, which was now 1:2.

Although they were still trailing, Jiang Yang had a strange feeling.

This Tyloo team seemed quite prone to making mistakes.

Are they playing like it's a ladder match?

It's silent. The nearby internet cafe also lost power. I have no choice but to type this on my phone.

This is all for today. I'll post more tomorrow, around 8K words.

My apologies, my apologies.
