Chapter 121: Waiting for You to Prove Your Worth

Unlike Jiaoyang who was staring intently at JamYoung's perspective, the director and the fallen FaZe players were all watching rain's first-person view.

The DH official commentators were gushing at this moment: "rain has already pulled out of cover, JamYoung at the Main Door is in imminent danger."

"Oh no! rain missed the first shot, causing olofmeister at the front to be picked off by JamYoung."

"But it doesn't matter, the advantage of the USP as a silenced weapon has already manifested; JamYoung hasn't realized that the Grim Reaper has already descended behind him!"

"?"

"My god! What is happening? rain still hasn't secured a kill after JamYoung finished off the second teammate at the Iron Door!"

"JamYoung turns around and gets a Headshot to take out rain, and the two teammates in FaZe's Yellow Room are also taken down by the arriving aumaN."

."

The commentator was incoherent, not knowing what to say; missing half a magazine at someone's back in a professional match was truly shocking, so shocking that it felt somewhat familiar.

The director switched the match replay to the live footage just recorded:

In the center of the VG position, Jiaoyang raised his arms and shouted, but not to cheer for his teammate, rather—

"Awesome! karrigan!"

99

Not many foreign friends understand "awesome," but the name karrigan is all too familiar.

Back then, he missed 12 shots with a USP at someone's back on Mirage, only to be turned on and sniped by a jumping Kennys.

It was the perfect interpretation of rain's operation just now!

The commentator couldn't hold it in for a moment and let out a laugh.

The barrage comments on various platforms also surged.

【Paying tribute to the legendary old captain, rain really, I'm crying to death!】

【You can tell, rain is missing karrigan, why not just let the big cousin come back.】

【This NiKo as Commander is also completely rotten, he's already cleared the Outside and is still stubbornly pushing the Inner Site police station.】

【Hahaha, who was hyping up FaZe's Pistol Round earlier? I think they're not as good as JamYoung~】

【Jiaoyang knows how to mess with people's mental states; aumaN just said he thinks replacing karrigan won't work, and now he's sowing discord again.】

Heaven is my witness, Jiaoyang is not sowing discord; he is truly thanking karrigan, the team's sixth man.

If rain hadn't been hit by the 【karrigan's USP Master】 debuff, JamYoung would never have had the chance to take on two people head-on.

His teammates at the Inner Site would also have been trapped and unable to move due to the three-point synchronization of the Main Door, Iron Door, and Yellow Room.

At that point, it would be hard to say who was surrounding whom.

Being able to win at this moment, isn't it just because karrigan is awesome?

"Sorry, Jiaoyang, I forgot to switch your P2000 back."

After aumaN took down two FaZe players with the help of his teammates, his first reaction wasn't to celebrate, but to apologize to Jiaoyang.

He knew Jiaoyang wasn't good with the USP, which was exactly why he gave the P2000 Turf to Jiaoyang.

As it turned out, when Jiaoyang asked him to practice his aim, he switched to the USP to practice the CT Pistol Round but forgot to switch it back, directly leading to Jiaoyang's death at the Outside.

"Small issue, if I need to later, I'll just buy a Desert Eagle."

Jiaoyang didn't say that he hadn't actually fired a single shot at the Outside————

In any case, now that he knew 【karrigan's USP Master】 was an aura and enchantment effect, he began to think about what use it had————

Emmm, it didn't seem to have any use; this round was just a coincidence.

On the other side, FaZe wasn't that downcast either.

The few old guys didn't care about such accidental mishaps; if you really think about it, didn't they also fail to beat the enemies in front of them?

NiKo was the same, just more self-critical.

If he could have made some noise in the Yellow Room first, perhaps rain at the Main Door wouldn't have been in such a hurry to fire, and the possibility of winning this round would have been higher.

Unfortunately, he only stalled the people at the Inner Site at first and didn't secure a kill.

The T fang didn't plant the Bomb in the Pistol Round, so there was no need to force buy, because they could just ECO for one round and then buy AKs and a small amount of utility.

0:2 start, third round, both sides entered the Long Gun Round.

"The opponents have a lot of AUGs, Ori has an M4A1," NEO said; this was the weapon configuration he observed during the last ECO round.

That's how playing matches goes; every detail needs attention.

NiKo didn't have much affection for the AUG; after all, he was the one who called it a NoobGun.

——

Even though it had already been nerfed once, the pick rate of the AUG at IEM Sydney increased instead of decreasing.

Even the few old guys on FaZe liked to use it, which shows that as he said, this gun narrowed the gap in marksmanship between other professionals and top-tier professionals.

Regarding Ori switching from the M4A4 to the M4A1, NiKo actually felt this was a master's understanding.

Although the M4A1 couldn't compare to the M4A4 on paper, the effect Ori produced was very good; whether it was for spamming through Smoke Grenades or the stability of the bullet trajectory, it seemed to have its merits.

"Be careful of spamming through Smoke Grenades, don't trade shots; the A1 has a small magazine, you can count the bullets and counter-attack," NiKo reminded.

Regarding this point, his teammates had different views; GuardiaN said: "The opponent might have a Sniper Rifle; in the last round, advent's MP9 mowed down three people."

As a legendary Sniper, GuardiaN knew these Economy situations very well and was very clear about whether the opponent might have a sniper to limit his performance.

"Jiaoyang's Sniper Rifle tends to play the Outside; he isn't the type of personality to squat behind the B Iron Plate and not move," olofmeister added carefully.

"Good! Then this round we rush the Outside!"

NiKo had watched so much VG footage that he had already discovered a pattern: the longer Jiaoyang was allowed to live, the harder the situation was to control.

He was too slippery, his survival rate with the Sniper Rifle was too high, and he could form an economic advantage, to the point where he could heroically turn the game around with a Sniper Rifle.

This had already been reflected in the first map, Mirage; once FaZe had the intention of hunting Jiaoyang's Sniper Rifle, the result was always a huge economic loss.

"No need to throw Big Warehouse Smoke, we'll use Flashbangs to cover our push; if he dares to peek, we'll rush him to death!"

Because they had not planted the Bomb, FaZe's utility was mostly practical Smoke Grenades and flashbangs, with only one Incendiary Grenade.

"I'll hold T-Hall." As a Free Agent, olofmeister chose his usual spot.

"Jiaoyang, I can buy an AWP, give me your M4A1." advent had earned quite a bit with his Submachine Gun, and having calculated the opponent's Economy, he didn't intend to save money anymore.

When one's strength is insufficient, a disadvantage in firearms is even worse.

If one were to be greedy for a small advantage, resulting in losing the round and ruining the Economy, it would not be worth it.

"No need, you buy an AUG, save the money for utility."

Jiaoyang inspected the M4A1 in his hands; the gun's color scheme was composed of black, white, and red. Unlike the minimalist feel it had when he first held it, it was now adorned with stickers of VG and the Qiyou Trio, adding a different kind of significance.

Only then did he learn the skin was named "Next Era," though the name tag remained 【HERONEVERDIE】.

As soon as An Wenxin learned that Jiaoyang wanted to switch from the M4A4 to the M4A1, she gifted him this gun.

Her exact words were, "Waiting for you to play your way to a high market value."

A hundred-dollar gun—what kind of market value could one play their way to with that?

But precisely because it wasn't expensive, he accepted this gesture.

The third round began, and Jiaoyang headed toward the Big Warehouse; from this position, he could coordinate with JamYoung at the Main Door.

"Line-up smoke! No, wait, it's Main Door and Warehouse smoke! They also blocked the Third Floor, they're going to rush the Big Warehouse! I'm going to peek out."

""

JamYoung spoke at high speed, bypassing advent to finish analyzing the situation at the Outside.

The situation was tense; before he had even finished speaking, he had already thrown a Red Box smoke to block one side of the offensive trade-kill route, then quickly leaned behind the Red Box cover.

"Watch out for the back-flash!"

Jiaoyang noticed there was no smoke at the Big Warehouse, so his vigilance was maxed out, and he switched his holding angle to a jiggle-peek.

Sure enough, FaZe's flashbangs began to blanket the Outside as if they were free.

Furthermore, the sound of an Incendiary Grenade shattering at his feet reached him, and the burning sound effect rang out.

"Damn it!"

Jiaoyang had no choice but to pull out from cover.

Facing a pure white screen, he could only rely on his memory to swing his mouse—【Ori (while Blind) killed rain with M4A1】

【Ori (while Blind) killed NEO with M4A1】

【Ori (while Blind) killed GuardiaN with M4A1】
