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

Chapter 67 Playing with Machines: A Critical Commentary: "Pure X-ray Vision!"

"Nice~~~"

"Wuhu~ Evil Potato has unleashed his power!! Awesome!!"

"16:1, we almost got shut out by Tianlu."

"Potato is really on fire today. If I could win like this every day and be number 1, I would be willing to do it."

The moment the match ended, the RA training room was filled with cheers from the crowd.

Yang Yu was in a good mood.

Although they had been shut out and crushed their opponents by large margins in the past few days, they were playing against random teams from the open qualifiers.

Today's opponent is a traditionally strong team in CNCS.

TyLoo still holds considerable prestige in CNCS, with early TyLoo players contributing to the team's impressive achievements.

This leads to the situation where, when CNCS is mentioned, or when the phrase "though defeated, we are still honorable" is used, everyone assumes that it refers to Tianlu.

Today's match is crucial for qualifying for the Major. RA's new roster has just been formed, and they are under some pressure.

Fortunately, they won the BO1 match methodically, and even performed exceptionally well.

This is the best start I've ever seen.

Yang Yu, sitting in his gaming chair, was itching to cheer and applaud.

"Well played." 259 joined in the celebration from the side, patting Yang Yu on the shoulder. "You were in pretty aggressive form today, and your clutches in both pistol rounds were great."

"Brother Dou is really too exaggerated," Mo Siyu said. "I had no idea how to win either of the two pistol rounds in the first and second halves, but he still managed to teach us how to win."

The man next to Hamburger was laughing like an idiot: "During that pistol round just now, I saw Potato suddenly turn his head to aim at the long box. I was thinking... why is he aiming here? It's like it's real."

"In the end..." Hamburger shrugged, "I admit defeat."

During the game, he still didn't understand Yang Yu's actions in this round, and wondered why he would set up a long box and why he shouldn't have forcibly demolished it and waited for the police to peek.
As Yang Yu continued touching, she suddenly saw a figure with its back turned in front of her.

Hamburger was completely stunned at that moment.

It was only at that moment that he understood how the endgame was going to unfold, and how terrifying his brother Dou's consciousness was.

"What were you thinking at the time?" Kaze asked curiously.

He was also curious to know Yang Yu's thought process in dealing with that endgame situation.

When KAZE saw Yang Yu go around behind the cabbage, his eyes widened. For a moment, he really suspected that Yang Yu had gone to the dungeon to steal the USB drive for Big Sweet Potato.

"It's pretty simple."

Yang Yu explained, "His ID exposed that he was in the police's home. I called him twice in a row and he didn't appear. He could only be going around the jungle."

"He was the passive party, so he could only come from the jungle to find me. I peeked and didn't see him, so I knew he was out of sync with me and could only be behind the long box."

Hearing Yang Yu's casual explanation, the RA members suddenly felt enlightened; they seemed to understand...

What's there to understand?!
What kind of good person could instantly assess such a massive amount of information and still make the most rational response?

Hamburger asked in surprise, "How can you be so sure he wouldn't bet on you not having detonators at the police station?"

“He shouldn’t be that stupid,” Yang Yu said.

After the police officer failed to come out and fire several times at his home, they finally bet that he didn't have any pliers to operate.

If you really encounter such a genius, Yang Yu will give him the endgame.

Yang Yu felt that the solution to this endgame was very simple and nothing special.

But this seemingly ordinary feeling actually broke the defenses of RA and the others.

KAZE said to 259, "Now I understand the feeling of 'shattered Dao heart' in those online novels."

He felt his Dao heart shatter into pieces.

Kaze was once a child prodigy.

Yang Yu's ability to generate such a brainstorming-style endgame is something he can only do when he's in top form, making it a very rare sight.

But for Yang Yu, it was just like eating and drinking, nothing more than a daily routine.

The more matter-of-factly he spoke, the more Kaze felt his composure crumble.

"Talent is something that's truly infuriating to compare yourself to others!" KAZE sighed.

Xiao Ju patted KAZE on the shoulder and comforted him, "Look on the bright side, this guy is your teammate, and he just gave you a hard time."

KAZE immediately became serious and said, "Our potato actually has the potential to become a fighting emperor!"

RA and his group were amused by KAZE.

That's truly beyond words.

Yang Yu performed exceptionally well; a player with such talent would be truly disgusting to be an opponent.

But if it's a teammate.

As you know, I chose TuDou as this year's TOP1.

……

Seeing the new RA in action, 259 breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze fell on Yang Yu. This guy was truly like a rough gem, always managing to surprise him time and time again.

When I talked to Zhong Weijie before, he considered that it would be quite difficult for a player with such strong firepower to play in the libero position.

The flex player position is quite unique in the CS:GO system.

Unlike a dribbler, a strategist, or a star player, he doesn't easily determine the outcome of a game.

He needs to rely more on positive performances.

If they can make a name for themselves in the front line, then the team's flex players can take advantage of the opponent's formation changes to find opportunities to apply enough pressure and assist in securing kills in the front line.

If the front line cannot exert enough pressure, the free agent can easily become a role player, bound by the formation.

259 took this into consideration, and after the EPL ended, Yang Yu's position was moved forward to the Breakthrough Group.

But after the match, he discovered that Yang Yu's ability to break through defenses and his understanding of the game were much higher than he had imagined.

At this moment, 259 was considering whether to move Yang Yu's position back a bit to give him more room to deal damage.

Even—to make him a true star.

Consume all the resources provided by the entire team!
259 fell into deep thought.

……

Inside the 6557 live stream room.

The man who arrived late because he bought rotten eggs started a live stream.

What the heck?! Wasn't it supposed to start at 4 PM? Why is it a full hour late?!

[That's it, there's no more of Jiji's live stream, nothing at all.]

[The God of Games is showing signs of climbing mountains again.]

[JiJi no longer wants to be the best CS:GO commentator in China.]

Under pressure from viewers in the live chat, Wanji quickly apologized: "No, no, no, brothers, there was a traffic jam while eating out today. I didn't know where all these people from Shijiazhuang came from."

"I really didn't manage my time well today, and I'm now kowtowing to my brothers to apologize."

After saying that, he lifted his clothes while playing with the machine and patted his stomach a few times.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Alright, alright, guys, I was wrong. Let's get started with the explanation."

After saying that, he started playing with the machine and turned on the streaming for the Chinese RMR qualifiers, preparing to find the streaming streams for RA and TyLoo's matches.

"I've calculated the time; I might still be able to commentate on the pistol round in the second half," the machine player muttered.

Then he saw comments from viewers reminding him.

[It's over!!]

[Tianlu has no humans left; their score has been utterly crushed.]

The cupboard has evolved; now not only are there no pistol rounds anymore, but 6657 doesn't even have best-of-one (BO1) matches anymore.

"That's true. I used to miss the pistol rounds, and now I'm even missing the BO1. People always make bigger mistakes at crucial moments."

While playing with the machine, he thought the viewers in the live stream were just messing around, and he casually joked, "This reminds me of NIKO. He once faltered in the Major finals, and maybe in a few years he'll falter before the Major even starts."

However, when he noticed that TyLoo and Ra were no longer appearing in the live stream, Wanji realized something was wrong and immediately checked it out using HLTV.

He skillfully located the match page for the game between TyLoo and RA.

The score was shockingly lopsided at 16:1.

"Wow, they're really done? A man shouldn't be this fast!"

【? ? ? 】

This is not the bus to kindergarten.

[The cupboard is talking about this kind of topic in broad daylight; it's so embarrassing for a male college student like me.]

The player finally realized, "It's really over! Tianlu got completely thrashed the whole time!!"

A score of 16:1, the team with 1.

It's no different from pulling five people up from the comments.

"Is TyLoo really that bad today?" The player is now somewhat glad he missed TyLoo's match.

Otherwise, he might have lost his composure halfway through the explanation.

He looked at the stats and laughed at the MVP's record.

ID:TuDou
Kills/Assists/Deaths: 28/5/6
Average damage per game: 170.6
Rate of not giving things away for free: 100%
rating (2.0): 2.89
"Young Master??"

They were stunned by the machines.

"There were 17 rounds on one map, and I got 28 kills while only dying 6 times," he muttered. "This guy's really something!"

"2.89, even if I were playing A+ fish, I wouldn't dare to use that much!"

"And this is 100% KAST, which means this guy didn't give up anything from beginning to end!"

Many viewers who had just joined the live stream were also astonished. [That 2.89 rating is like one person doing the work of three!]

[28 kills in 17 rounds, just using Tianlu as bait]

Who is Freeman's boss? This 0.18 is outrageous!

[Tycoon even managed to get Danking only 9 kills, they were completely outmatched.]

[Having watched CS:GO matches for so long, this is the first time I've seen someone with a 100% kast rate. It seems like every victory is related to him.]

[2.89, even Danking's double-stance isn't as powerful as him]

With a rating of 2.89, TyLoo's loss seems somewhat understandable.

There are cheaters on the server, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?

In the current version of the rating, in a normal, healthy match.

1.1 has already played a role in this game.

1.3 played a significant role in the game, and his performance was comparable to that of a senior player on the team.

1.7 is like the team's top-tier player, who can be considered the "fish-frying boss".

But damn it, this 2.89.

Many people have never even seen it before.

Even professional players who go to lower ranks to "smurf" (play against lower-ranked players) might not be able to achieve these stats.

But today's match was won in a professional game.

Who wouldn't be confused by this?

Playing with the machine left me incredibly frustrated, thinking, "What the hell did I miss?!"

For a CS:GO enthusiast, the most interesting thing about live match broadcasts is that you never know how the match will turn out.

By looking at the post-match data on the machine, one can easily judge the highlights of the match.

With such a huge score difference, the game between the two teams might not have been that exciting, since the score clearly showed a one-sided situation.

With this kind of data, this match was definitely Yang Yu's personal showcase!

Many viewers who had watched the entire match left comments in the live stream:
[Just came from Mr. Ma's place. Potato was absolutely incredible today, reaching the tenth level of Fighting Power!!]

[Tianlu was completely overwhelmed by him. They managed to gain a numerical advantage a few times, but this guy kept coming up with those insane clutch situations, leaving Tianlu utterly helpless.]

[Having followed him since EPL, I've truly become a fan of Potato. His performance today has made us Potato fans so proud!]

[Tooth was really over the top today, it was like he was on fire, invincible in direct combat, and no one could beat him in the endgame.]

[That clutch situation in the second half pistol round really brought tears to my eyes; it was pure X-ray vision!]

The mouse scrolls down while playing on the machine.

"Look at the MVP approval rating after the game, it's 97.7%!"

"This is so damn real."

The more I look at this data while playing with the machine, the more it itches me to get involved.

"No, I need to go watch this match and see what's going on."

Then he found the replay of the match on HLTV, scrolled in, and started watching.

In the first pistol round.

Tianlu faked a move, but their attack on Area A failed, leaving Yang Yu with a 1v3 situation.

Looking at the formation that Tianlu's three players had set up in Area A, Wanji subconsciously said, "So, the only point Tianlu got was from this pistol round?"

He watched Yang Yu carry the unarmored P250 towards A1, but he didn't think much of it.

After all, he felt that Tianlu couldn't possibly lose in this kind of predicament.

Then, he glanced at the comments section, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that a firefight had broken out on screen.

Yang Yu picked up the P250, aimed down and flicked it up to take down the VIP on A2, then pulled back to take down Freeman in the sandwich, and then with another one-frame pull shot, he also took down Danking.

Three headshots in two seconds, and RA instantly won the pistol round.

"Those three vertical aiming shots, he could have wiped out TyLoo in one hit!" The player was completely dumbfounded. "His P250 gave TyLoo a 1v4!"

"How can someone play with a pistol like that?!"

Playing with the machine, still in shock, I continued reading.

Then, Yang Yu's grasp of the breakthrough opportunities and control of timing during the process left viewers speechless in the live broadcast room.

As for those players who wanted to spoil the game even though their level wasn't 20, they were banned by the machine-playing group long ago.

Although everyone knew Yang Yu's performance was incredible, the way he executed the moves still amazed both the gamers and the new viewers in the live stream.

Those netizens who have already watched the live stream once will still find it amazing to watch the replay again with the help of the game console.

And when I was playing the machine and saw the second half pistol round...

Watching Yang Yu handle the 1v1 situation.

Although the outcome was already known, Yang Yu would ultimately win the pistol round, since Tianlu only managed to get one point in the end.

I still can't figure out how to use the machine.

"Can he win a 1v1 situation from here on out?"

The cabbage quickly circled around, making the player feel that there was no chance of scoring a point.

Then, he saw Yang Yu turn around and glance at jungle with a spiritual gesture.

Immediately afterwards, the crosshair shot was aimed directly at the head of the cabbage, even through the long box.

At this moment, the gamer completely lost his composure and instinctively shouted in the live stream:

"Holy crap!! X-ray vision!!!"

The purest shout represents the ultimate praise that the machine users have for Yang Yu's skills.

……

The incredible, almost mind-blowing, slice of the game made more CS:GO players in China aware of RA, this newcomer.

Although the data comes from a crushing victory, a rating of 2.89 is something many professional players can never achieve in their entire careers; it requires perfect timing, location, and teamwork.

Many netizens also focused their attention on the Major qualifiers.

Under these circumstances, RA also entered the second day of the competition.

Their opponents the next day were a bit unusual.

Their opponent is a team called Take me away.

Why is this team considered special?

This team was formed by former RA breakthrough player Ah Zhong—also known as Zhong Weijie.

The team members are Jee, aumaN, Daniel, and StarBlank.
This is RA's main team playing against their youth academy.

aumaN and Ah Zhong are both veteran players of VG (the predecessor of RA).

Throughout the match, the entire RA team played exceptionally well, completely dominating their former teammates.

KAZE displayed incredible tenacity, dominating the opposing sniper in this match.

After the match, Yang Yu learned a little-known fact – the opposing player, JEE, was actually a youth player from RA.

Yang Yu asked 259 why she hadn't seen Jee at the club.

In response, 259 simply said, "This guy's attention to detail is too poor. Although we bought him before, I didn't think he was worth developing, so the boss loaned him to another team."

To put it nicely, it was a loan; to put it bluntly, it was being sent away.

Yang Yu deeply agrees with this. During the game, there were moments when he felt he was about to die, but the opposing sniper would miss and give him a chance to make a move.

After a BO1 match, the score was 16-3, with even the veteran player Ah Zhong putting on a strong performance on the other side.

259's perspective seems to be flawless.

RA successfully advanced to the winners' bracket final.

In the winners' bracket final.

They encountered one of the only two threatening teams in this qualifier – LVG, led by Mitsuha.

This is also the first BO3 match in this China regional qualifier.

In this BO3 series...

LVG even released the town of RA.

RA didn't hold back either, directly showing LVG a bit of fatherly love in the town in the first picture.

However, when it came to choosing maps for LVG, RA still encountered a lot of trouble.

Because LVG chose Fallen Tower as the map, which is the root of CNCS's pain.

This map is another of LVG's signature moves. Last year, Starry made a memorable 1v5 play against G2 on this map.

RA's proficiency on this map is slightly lower, and they struggled quite a bit in the early game, with their tactics being suppressed by LVG.

However, as the competition progressed, Yang Yu and Xiao Ju gradually found their form.

They ultimately prevailed over LVG in overtime at the Death Tower.

RA also defeated LVG 2-0, successfully advancing to the Asian RMR.

The other qualification spot also went to LVG and TyLoo.

Whoever wins the best-of-three series in the loser's bracket will become the second team to advance.

As for RA.

If they can successfully advance in the Asian RMR, they will be able to officially travel to Paris to participate in the final Major of CS:GO!

……

　It's getting late, and after some thought, I've decided to remove some of the smaller competition content...
