Chapter 44: 259: A Very Good Prodigy, Making My Tactics Spin

After getting the first knife kill, Jiang Yang looked at his savings of over five thousand and smiled.

Meeting the sniper rifle he most wanted to own in his prime was absolutely amazing.

However, he didn't pull out the sniper rifle.

It wasn't that his love for the sniper rifle had lessened.

It was that the 'Special Forces' instinct was calling him!

VG failed to plant the bomb in the pistol round. Based on his understanding of VG from the previous two rounds, VG was definitely going into an eco round.

MO, standing beside him, saw Jiang Yang's setup and chuckled, "Alright, go do your thing by yourself."

Hearing this, Jiang Yang immediately strode towards the A Bomb Site.

Meanwhile, in VG's voice chat.

259 was giving commands: "Let's not rush this round, just play default. Cousin will definitely push out to scout, he can't help himself!"

But he had to admit, Cousin really could scout.

In the previous two maps, whenever they were low on money, Cousin could always scout out a few kills.

This caused them a lot of pressure whenever it came to eco rounds now.

Although losing an eco round didn't matter, Jiang Yang always managed to build up his economy like this, which made them quite annoyed.

At the start, they stayed in the T spawn for a good while playing default, but the opponents showed no movement.

Seeing that time was running short, 259 opened his mic and said, "Let's group up and try pushing towards the Iron Plate."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flashbang fly out from Yellow. 259 reacted quickly and flashed it away, but he still saw a fly head pop out.

At this moment, Jiang Yang's words from his past streaming days seemed to echo in 259's ears.

"You guys... are on ECO, right!"

Jiang Yang instantly killed him. His teammates beside him rushed to trade, but without armor, they were also melted instantly.

In an instant, Jiang Yang pushed out and got three kills. The remaining two quickly rushed into Yellow to trade shots, but DD was already there to support Jiang Yang.

The ECO round ended swiftly.

An ACE was taken in the eco round, and 259 got an even bigger headache.

Actually, before meeting Jiang Yang, he didn't think much of players like Da Zhuang and Jiang Yang who liked to go all out in ECO rounds.

After all, getting kills by overwhelming opponents with weapon superiority didn't seem like real skill.

But after meeting Jiang Yang, 259's perspective truly changed.

Because he realized that being able to scout was a skill in itself.

Jiang Yang could get kills in these rounds, his economy would quickly build up, and then in specific rounds, he could establish weapon superiority.

This was truly frustrating.

"Let's play it safe in the next full buy round. The opponent's sniper rifle must be out by now," 259 said helplessly.

Jiang Yang smiled as his economy broke through the eight thousand mark.

This economy meant Jiang Yang could pull out a sniper rifle for two consecutive rounds, which was absolutely amazing.

Entering the first full buy round, Jiang Yang immediately abandoned his MP9 and purchased a sniper rifle.

MO thought for a moment: "Why don't you, Cousin, go hold the bottom with the sniper rifle? They've got full utility this round, so going to Warehouse at the start doesn't mean much for you."

This was the first full buy round. If the opponents planned to play outside, their utility would definitely be maxed out.

Jiang Yang's sniper rifle could only try to peek through smokes, which wasn't very effective.

If he went to K1, unless he was instantly killed by a pre-aim, as long as he killed one person, he could delay enough for the retake.

"Choosing Steel Helmets this round is fine. The sniper rifle can directly hold the bottom. For outside, just cover the main entrance and the Third Floor. The focus is entirely on defending the inside."

"VG isn't rushing either. In the early game, they're just controlling the map and exchanging utility. Then, Cousin climbs up from the pipes to help with a pipe smoke to delay. "

"VG then throws another set of regular outside smokes, sending someone down to K1, but they still have two people up top. This round looks like they're going to have a shootout with DD in the warehouse!"

DD was standing in a resting position in the warehouse, watching the main entrance.

With the speed of the outside push, his position was bound to engage.

Ma Xixi was still looking forward to DD's performance through the X-ray, but the sound of a sniper rifle had already come from below.

"--Bang!"

[Young killed jamyoung with AWP]

"Cousin has already gotten the first kill of the round. His sniper rifle still gives us so much security!" Ma Xixi was all smiles.

In the Steel Helmets team now, Jiang Yang was undoubtedly the big brother.

They watched the match from a bird's-eye view. As long as Jiang Yang was alive, they believed he could get kills. Even if all five opponents came for him, their first thought was whether Jiang Yang could take down two or three of them.

Jiang Yang got the first kill underground, while DD engaged the terrorists at the warehouse and the main entrance.

"DD's marksmanship had a slight error. He couldn't instantly kill 259 with a full magazine and ended up revealing his position. He tried to reposition, but A Zhong pulled him in and instantly killed him!"

As the kill feed appeared in the top right corner, DD immediately shouted in voice chat, "They're pushing the main entrance, Liu Ke, be careful!"

Hearing this, MO, who was inside, quickly threw a smoke at the main entrance to delay the enemy's advance.

"But VG isn't planning to push inside this round; they're grouping up and heading to the third floor!"

"Ma Xixi is coming from the Iron Plate towards the third floor, did you see that?"

"Saw it! He took one down, but got traded immediately after!"

Jiang Yang returned to defend from the Iron Plate, knowing MO was under immense pressure alone inside.

However, with someone on the third floor, he didn't dare to move recklessly and could only hold his sniper rifle, wary of the third floor.

He was alert for anyone coming to find him from the third floor, but MO, near the pipes, had already engaged them.

Hearing the gunfire, Jiang Yang immediately climbed towards the third floor.

If the enemy killed MO and then held the third floor, he would truly have no chance.

He quickly climbed up with his sniper rifle, but as he ascended, he discovered an unexpected piece of information—there wasn't one terrorist on the third floor, but two.

The moment Jiang Yang climbed up, he saw a terrorist holding an AK aiming at him.

With no time to climb back down, Jiang Yang instinctively pressed the left mouse button.

"--Bang!"

[Young+DD used a no-scope headshot to kill advent]

"There's another one on the third floor!!" Jiang Yang shouted into voice chat, reminding MO.

But he was also in the middle of an operation. This shot, inexplicably, hit, giving him a pleasant surprise. He hung on the ladder and reloaded.

Once his sniper rifle's cooldown was finished, he surged forward.

He fired a shot at the terrorist on the third floor who was turning his head.

"--Bang!"

[Young+CapatinMO used an AWP no-scope to kill Kaze]

"Cousin can no-scope too??" Ma Xixi exclaimed in surprise, "Is he hacking??"

"Whoa!! What is this? A tribute to S1mple, right? On this map, on a ladder, and he can actually pull it off?"

"The difficulty of these two shots is world-class, everyone!"

Ma Xixi found himself increasingly unable to understand the match.

After all, in CS:GO, the mechanism is that when hanging on a ladder, bullets are completely inaccurate.

But whether it was S1mple's no-scope in Cologne or Jiang Yang's two shots hanging on the ladder on the third floor today, they were too insane.

And they were no-scopes at that!

After getting two kills, Jiang Yang quickly climbed to the third floor, just in time to see the main entrance smoke dissipate, revealing a figure.

Jiang Yang flicked his aim.

[Young used an AWP headshot to kill aumaN]

Ma Xixi shook his head and said, "It still has to be my cousin. Without my cousin's Steel Helmets, this team would really fall apart!"

The live stream on the right was also flooded with comments.

[Yang Shen is as awesome as ever, those two shots really made me kneel]

[He's getting more and more like that man]

[Still Yang Shen? Yang Ding Tian!!]

[I want to say Ma Xixi is bragging, but thinking about my own cousin, why wouldn't I brag]

[At this moment, he summoned S1mple]

Then the viewers saw the game was paused; it was VG who called for a tactical timeout.

There was no choice, 259 felt helpless.

The details were all there, but this prodigy's no-scope on the ladder had broken the game.

How could they possibly play?

259 felt a subtle shift in his mentality.

The word count is a bit low, I'm not feeling well. I'll write more tomorrow.

Perhaps this is the backlash from trying to challenge the ancestor Chen Dong across realms.

Sob sob~
