CS: Oh no, he's really become the GOAT!

Chapter 51 So, was firing an empty gun just to save my account? (Part 2)

"Hey Sasha, what are you looking at?"

After finishing his call with his daughter, Electronic Bro came over and glanced at his good partner.

"Hmm, what brings you to watch the game today?" Electronic Bro asked, somewhat surprised.

S1mple was still focused on the screen when Electronic pulled over a chair and joined him in watching the game.

Seeing this, S1mple took off his headphones and switched the computer sound to the external speaker on the screen.

RA vs Astarlis
The score displayed on the big screen was 11:5.

This point was a strong start for RA.

Looking at the minimap, Electronic Bro saw that RA had engaged in a force buy and gunfight in this round, equipped with weapons such as the AWP, MP9, and Desert Eagle.

In this round, RA chose to take the initiative. Seeing that B area had set up a double scaffold at the start, Electronic Bro took the initiative to scaffold the person up to B2.

The next time, RA played a fancy move.

RA chose one person to give out the smoke grenade on B2 floor, and the other person to take the initiative to touch the smoke grenade.

Electronic Bro raised an eyebrow at this: "Trying to steal a chicken like this?"

Actively using your own smoke grenades is a very risky tactic, and it's practically countered by default.

However, most people throw smoke bombs to protect themselves.

This tactic also offers the opportunity to exploit the opponent's psychological blind spots.

xyp9x is a member of Team A responsible for controlling the sewers. When he heard the other party offer him a cigarette, he subconsciously thought that the area was safe and took the initiative to come and check the sewers.

Meanwhile, Yang Yu, who was on the B2 floor, had already quietly slipped out.

When xyp9x came to check B2 again the next day, he found that the person was already on his face.

“A fatal timing problem!” Electronics Bro shook his head. “If it were a few years ago, the X9 would never have had this kind of timing issue.”

Time is always so merciless on this field.

The core members of the peak A team are now starting to decline in their gun skills, awareness, timing, map understanding, and so on.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that xyp9x is no longer suited to the current competitive landscape.

"So now it seems like Team A can only detonate bombs at point A, but that's a bit awkward," Electronic Bro subconsciously analyzed.

At this moment, Team A has just controlled the middle lane and has a chance to speed up and push towards the arch.

However, due to the location, we can only use a rather abstract 4-archway A-point strategy.

S1mple shook his head: "They'll probably turn around and attack B. Gla1ve will think a lot about it."

The game unfolded exactly as S1mple had predicted.

Team A did not choose to attack A through the four arches, but instead turned around and cleared B again. After taking B small, they chose to attack from B2 building as their main direction.

At this point, Electronic Bro realized that RA, this newcomer, was even more interesting: "He took down xyp9x and hid in the sewers? Is this a case of a brute force defeating a master?"

Team A cautiously cleared the TV room but didn't find any CTs pushing forward, so they subconsciously relaxed their vigilance and started detonating bombs after preparing.

The props were thrown at point B as if they were free, and the members of Team A began to rush forward. At this moment, they discovered a head peeking out from the sewer.

One, two, three...

"It's a pity, it almost wiped out the entire B2 building," said Electronics Guy. "This guy still needs to work on his basics."

Electronic Bro thinks that if he comes over, this wave will definitely be won.

S1mple glanced at NPL in the corner and shook his head: "For a newcomer, that's already pretty good."

NPL is NAVI's youth training program, and as a team second only to B1t and m0nesy, their basic skills are definitely not a problem.

But this guy's playing style was truly lacking in spirit.

S1mple felt that his temper had improved a lot in the past two years, but he still got angry and turned red in the face time and time again.

That's so stupid!
Electronic Bro glanced at NPL and couldn't help but reminisce about Fatball and Perfect0 once again.

The best five players from NAVI in the past.

Ugh, this damned war!
He turned to look at the screen. It was originally a 5v4 endgame situation. The RA newbie had taken down 2.9 players on B2, and the remaining two had confirmed their information.

If the other RA players lose in this kind of endgame, they'll really be relegated to the North-South Avenue to fight against the original skin robots.

"RA's newbie played well," Electronic said after watching the kill replay. "He was also quite lucky, catching an incredible timing."

S1mple laughed: "What if I told you that this guy used this method to grab someone with their back to the goal more than once during this match?"

"Huh?" Electronic Bro suddenly perked up. "So Team A won't get crushed in this match, will they?"

He felt that S1mple was quite confident in RA.

“It’s highly likely that device will return to his loyal Team A, only to find that his team is already in a mess.” S1mple couldn’t help but laugh at the thought.

To his surprise, Team A launched a strong buy and pushed B in the next round, successfully turning the tide with excellent item coordination.

But then, Jamyoung from RA pulled off a triple kill with a Desert Eagle, turning the tide for Team A.

S1mple and Electronic Bro were getting more and more excited as they watched; they wanted to see which side could flip more easily today.

However, with both sides coming back to win, Team A was clearly under more pressure, especially since they only managed to score 4 points in the first half.

Finally, KAZE and TuDou ended the tug-of-war with a double pentakill.

As S1mple predicted, the result of this game in the desert was 16:8.

The RA members are seen fist bumping each other in celebration and chatting about what just happened in the match.

Electronic Bro also saw that brand new face—a young man who looked rather reserved.

He commented, "Team A didn't score enough points in the first half, otherwise I feel like they could have gone on for ages, taking points one after another."

“That was already Team A’s highlight. They were almost completely dominated in the first half.” S1mple gestured towards Yang Yu in the camera’s view. “It was all because of this guy.”

The director then showed the post-match results panel.

Kills/Assists/Deaths: 35/6/12
Average damage per game: 145.7
Headshot rate: 77.1%
"Oh~~ Another super rookie has appeared?" Electronic Bro had heard that Liquid was eliminated yesterday.

That's probably the reason.

"You still haven't answered me, why are you suddenly watching the game?" Electronic Bro asked again.

S1mple pointed at Yang Yu's ID: "This guy beat me in a game with 100 ping and yekindar. I heard yekindar mention it and wanted to see what his skill level was."

"A surprisingly good discovery."

“This newcomer is much more intelligent than I imagined. The number of times he catches the timing is unbelievable to me,” S1mple explained. “The timing he catches isn’t the kind where he catches someone’s back; he often catches the entire attacking team’s side.”

"He gives me a feeling of carrying a load during the game, with timing that is unreasonable."

"So, does that mean Team A won't even make it to the knockout stage?" Electronic Bro found this increasingly interesting.

NAVI coach B1ad3 walked over and said, "That's not necessarily true."

"What?" Electronic Bro asked.

B1ad3 said, "Because map three is a death playground, the RA team has won several games in a row and has built up their confidence. The whole team can perform at 120% of their strength."

"But there's one thing they can't make up for..."

Map proficiency.

S1mple smiled to himself; he actually had other ideas.

I'm not very familiar with the RA Amusement Park map.

But the current A team is in decline, has unclear team roles, and doesn't even have a decent penetrator.

Even if you're slightly more skilled than RA, you still won't be much better in actual gameplay.

S1mple believes that if RA can maintain his current form...

They might actually bring down Team A.

……

EPL match venue.

When the Desert City fell, device felt it was a great pity.

He actually performed quite well in this match, getting 27 kills throughout.

His teammates all had around 15 kills.

Especially in the second half, Team A had actually found opportunities, but due to the mistakes in the first half, the point difference was too large, and they had no chance to turn the tide, which was a great pity.

But as an experienced veteran, device quickly adjusted his mindset and took the initiative to say, "Let's adjust our mindset. This is how it is on the map, Maze. We made a lot of mistakes in the mid-game, which gave TuDou an opportunity."

They were increasingly able to feel the pain of the liquid.

RA wasn't very proficient with the Nuclear Crisis map; they only felt that the newcomer TuDou had pretty good head-on shooting skills, incredibly accurate.

But after entering the desert city.

BlameF, sculpted with muscles, chuckled wryly, "I feel like I'm facing off against a ropz..."

Four-star general xyp9x joked, "ropz isn't as aggressive as him. This newcomer is too crazy, just blindly pushing forward..."

"This guy's performance is nothing like that of a newcomer; he doesn't seem to have appeared out of nowhere."

xyp9x picked up a bottle of water from under his feet, tilted the bottle opening, and poured it into his mouth to avoid affecting his teammates. Old A team really has no discipline.

For a newcomer to the competition, achieving a K/D ratio of around 1.0 is already considered an excellent performance.

But TuDou encountered them and Liquid right from the start and carried the team in two consecutive games.

They were completely different from the rookie players they had in mind.

Device said, "Maybe he's a newcomer in the cargo class."

Da Zhuang scoffed dismissively: "I admit his performance was indeed good, but there are very few players of Zaiwu's caliber in the entire history of CSGO. I don't think CNCS can produce such a phenomenal genius."

There is a big difference between ranked matches and professional matches. Understanding various tactics, strategies, positioning, and timing of attacks all need to be gradually adapted in matches.

But as soon as RA, the newcomer, arrived, he started chasing after them and biting them.

This was the first time they had ever seen a libero with such a strong desire to attack.

It's a completely different style from the RAs they were used to.

Even gla1ve, as the commander, doesn't understand this kind of thing. He sees the current RA as the same as he saw the previous VP: an academic team that produced a muscle-bound player.

The contrast is so striking when they fight.

But now is not the time to dwell on these things.

The halftime break is short, so they need to make quick adjustments.

"The score is now tied at 1-1, and the final map will decide the winner."

"Forget about the content of the previous two maps. Now everyone focus on executing all the tactics."

"RA's proficiency on Amusement Park isn't very high, so this next map will be our chance!" "Do everything you can to get every kill, don't give the opponent any chances, take this map, and we'll make our debut in the playoffs!!"

gla1ve's calm words gradually calmed the restless hearts of Team A.

The group of people also perked up and began to focus their attention back on the game.

……

After a short intermission.

Both sides entered the Death Amusement Park shown in Figure 3.

(Death Amusement Park Report)

In the third map of the BO3 series, both sides engaged in a knife fight to choose sides.

The two sides clashed in the mid lane, and after a chaotic battle, only Yang Yu and device remained to fight.

After struggling with the device for a while, seeing that Yang Yu didn't move, it subconsciously checked its ruby ​​bayonet.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yu, this young man, lacked martial ethics and rushed forward, delivering two heavy blows that killed him instantly.

"Dou Ge is awesome!!!"

Seeing this, Hamburger shouted happily.

Death Park is a big warning map, and the result of choosing sides in the knife fight is very important. If they can play defense first in the first half, they will be able to have a much easier time.

The Death Amusement Park in Figure 3 will soon begin.

RA won the knife duel and naturally chose to start on the defensive side without hesitation.

Team A was forced to become the attacking side.

The pistol round has officially begun.

"Potato, you'll be guarding A site on this map, just like you did in training," Kaze said.

Hamburg then suggested, "How about we take the initiative? How about we start by clearing out the construction site?"

Although they weren't very familiar with the Amusement Park map, they had played it quite a bit in Asia, and Lao Jiu had devised many tactics.

"Okay, then I'll get the props and send you two out." Jamyoung had unknowingly become a support player, or rather, he was originally a hybrid player, and now he was just taking over more of 259's work.

KAZE said, "I'll go to B too, it's better if there are more anti-Qing people."

The round started quickly, with the main RA group heading towards area B, while Yang Yu went to the middle lane alone.

To be honest, he's quite familiar with this map, after all, the second map of the Boston Major is the Death Park.

Yang Yu didn't just practice the town in the 'Boston' simulation; he also practiced the amusement park and the maze city diligently.

Well, he probably has more experience playing against top teams at the amusement park than Jamyoung and the others—even though he's been playing against C9.

After the countdown ended, Yang Yu skillfully moved to the middle balloon.

Yang Yu, holding a USP, swayed towards the enemy's position, gathering information about the mid lane.

After wandering around for a few rounds without seeing anyone at the terrorist's spawn point, he passed this information to his teammates.

The four brothers at point B received the information and immediately took action.

"RA's playstyle this round is very aggressive; they're ready to counter-clear right from the start," Wanjiji said, quickly explaining as he watched RA's actions.

"Besides B, there's only xyp9x covering the rear. Does he want to get that?"

"xyp9x never expected to be taken down by a hamburger after being caught out by a flash!"

"But in that case, Team A should speed up their pace."

With xyp9x dead, Team A's foothold outside B collapsed instantly. Seeing this, gla1ve immediately gave the order: "Go from the sewers to A site, start running!"

He had already given them a default 1-3-1 formation for this point. Since the '1' near area B was dead, there was no need to consider attacking B; they could just move towards area A.

In an instant, the trio in the sewers and Da Zhuang, who was hanging up alone at A site, began to advance towards the A bomb site in a pincer movement.

The pressure of the pincer attack was overwhelming. Yang Yu, standing in the A University restroom, felt as if he would be crushed to death by the pincers at any moment.

Yang Yu heard his teammate's callout and knew that there was no one outside B, so the enemy was very likely to rotate to another location.

Instead of immediately setting up the drain opening, he set up a temporary outlet for the toilet from inside the toilet.

Buzz, in the first position, hopped and skipped out of the sewer, glancing deliberately at the toilet rack. Not finding anyone, he turned to look at A.

However, he had only turned his head one step before he came into Yang Yu's field of vision.

As fellow newcomers, the difference in their map proficiency and competition experience was subtly revealed.

Yang Yu did not rush to open fire, but calmly released the people.

His original plan was to let all these guys pass, quietly retreat from the pincer attack on the other side, and then deliver a heavy blow to the other side from behind!
However, as the device moved forward, it glanced at him as if sensing his murderous intent.

Yang Yu had no choice but to pull the trigger.

"Snapped!"

TuDou used a USP to headshot and kill device.

"xyp9x outside of B was wiped out, and Team A was forced to speed up their start. Now it depends on how Potato operates." - Commentator Wanji.

"Brother Bean chose to release the man, but Tom turned around and checked the toilet, so Brother Bean was forced to fire!!"

"Now that his position has been locked, should Team A eliminate him first? Team A should!"

Before Buzz could finish speaking about playing with the machine, he rushed into the bathroom after receiving the information, with gla1ve following closely behind.

They knew perfectly well that they had to get the CTs in the toilet to their deaths this time, otherwise even if they got into the bomb site, their backs would be exposed.

Buzz led the way, pulling out horizontally, while Glock quickly took aim.

However, the moment he saw the fly's head...

"Snapped!"

A USP bullet struck him precisely in the face.

The silenced gunshot possessed a unique beauty at that moment, taking his life with its muffled sound.

Buzz charged out with unstoppable momentum, but before he could even fire a shot, he collapsed to the ground.

TuDou used a USP to headshot and kill Buzz.

Seeing this, gla1ve immediately switched from finishing off the enemy to dodging and saying, "Dazhuang, I'll hook you, you shoot!"

Da Zhuang shouted, "I'm in position, don't die!"

Seeing that his first shot missed, Yang Yu heard footsteps behind him. After firing a shot, he immediately peeked to the left, using cover to avoid gla1ve's follow-up shot while simultaneously positioning himself at the entrance to the A site toilets.

He just set it up.

Half a second later—

A bandit's head appeared in the crosshair.

"Snapped!"

TuDou used a USP to headshot and kill BlameF.

Just as Dazhuang saw the scene inside the toilet, he heard a "snap" and the whole screen went black and white.

After securing the kill, Yang Yu turned around and peeked towards the small toilet area.

gla1ve was standing in the middle of the toilet, and Yang Yu casually pointed the USP upwards.

"Snapped!"

TuDou used a USP to headshot and kill gla1ve.

"Whoa!!!! Dou Ge has caught Buzz off guard again, and gla1ve is trying to dodge A Da Zhuang's attack from behind!"

The machine player's voice suddenly grew louder: "But Brother Dou thought of that too! He turned around and took out Da Zhuang with one shot. He likes to be the sixth man, but Brother Dou plays the free agent position!"

"A triple kill locked onto the toilet, all he had to do was wait..." the player exclaimed, "He didn't even need his teammates to cover him, he just got a quadra kill and finished everyone off!!"

"RA scored an ACE in this pistol round!!"

The person playing with the machine gasped in surprise in the live stream room.

This time, the director didn't transform into Zhao Gan; the entire focus was on Yang Yu.

They saw that Yang Yu's perspective was quite exaggerated. First, he blocked A Tang and then blocked Buzz who was trying to rush in. He couldn't block gla1ve with his third shot, but he immediately turned around and took out Da Zhuang from A University with one shot.

Yang Yu caught Da Zhuang with one shot, then smoothly turned around and took down gla1ve with a single shot.

He seemed to transform into a spinning top, whirling around inside the A University restroom while wiping out the opposing team.

[No way, that's five shots, four kills! Dude, did you pick the lock?]

[Details on how to preserve your account even without firing a shot]

That turn and one-shot Da Zhuang was so cool!

[This guy is ruthless. His performance today proves him right.]

[Some people thought he was just a flash in the pan after yesterday's match, but this perspective clearly shows he's a true master.]

[Hopefully Potato can maintain this form and keep fighting for Team A, even if it's just a one-day exit in the knockout stage!]

There was a lot of discussion in the 6657 live stream room.

……

On the RA players' bench.

As the logos representing Team A players above their heads gradually diminished, KAZE excitedly shouted, "Great gun, Potato!!!"

This point saw a successful counterattack in Zone B, giving them a numerical advantage, but it also left Yang Yu alone at point A.

The opponent made a decisive switch, and they failed to take their positions immediately, putting Yang Yu under considerable pressure.

When Yang Yu took a drink in the restroom, his eyes lit up.

Because he had already completed his mission and obtained something that would have been worth the price of his life, even if he died.

KAZE didn't expect that the top right corner would go into overdrive, wiping out the remaining members of Team A.

They had 4 people at point B and killed 1 person, while Yang Yu killed 4 people by himself at point A.

Something seems off, but everything seems right at the same time.

"That's awesome, bro."

Jamyoung also gave a compliment.

He had previously played in the same position as Yang Yu, so he knew how difficult it was to get a series of kills in that position. Yang Yu's marksmanship once again amazed him.

Looking at the 1-0 scoreline above his head, Jamyoung joked, "The other side must be thinking right now, why didn't we just rush B?"

(There's a bonus chapter later, similar to the protagonist's instant kill sequence.)
　I checked it three times today, and there shouldn't be any typos.

　　Then I'd like to ask for your opinion: in the subsequent sections on match content, should we put the callout map for this match at the beginning for easy reference?
