Chapter 126: I am donk

~14 min read 2,749 words

"Daniel, want to play Dota together later?"

On the screen, the match between VG and Liquid had already entered its final stages.

Needless to say, this VG team, missing their midlaner, was directly flattened by Liquid, with no power to fight back.

rOtK's Dark Seer was really just like a rabbit, left to be slaughtered.

The Russian commentator was chatting casually about the great achievements of the CS division where Ori was, and mentioned that it wasn't strange that NaVi was defeated by VG before, and as he talked, he mentioned the personnel adjustments revealed by NaVi, that a new commander was coming, and the era of the two old men would also end.

It's just that little Daniel in front of the screen didn't care about any NaVi, closed the Zhibojian with little interest, and said in the voice channel: "Mago, I want to try playing mid."

On the other side, the teenager named Mago was startled, and knowing his friend's level, he immediately dissuaded him: "No need, right? Our off-lane combo is playing quite well!"

"I can play heroes like Lina and Medusa." Daniel's tone was serious.

Only then did Mago realize that his friend had really become a VG fan, and was roleplaying his idol Ori!

The Dota2 atmosphere in the CIS region is very good; NaVi in the first three TIs even had one championship and two runner-ups, which could be considered a very dominant region.

It's a pity that after Ti3, the championship and runner-up were monopolized by CN and European/American teams, and precisely because of this, many young CIS youths' Dota2 idols became strong players from other regions.

Nowadays, the one in the limelight is the VG team that has won two consecutive Majors, faintly overshadowing LGD, which had broken into the Ti8 finals by hard strength before.

And VG's Ori made many players who didn't dare to touch the mid position dare to try this position through heroes that weren't flashy.

"Alright then, I'll practice Magnus too. By the way, are you going to the Epicenter?"

"?" Daniel widened his eyes: "How to go?!"

"Skip class!"

Jiao Yang didn't know about the bold plan made by his little fan on the other side of the earth; at this time, he was in a dream.

【Major Talent System activated】

【Connecting to server for you————】

【Connection successful】

——

【Map: Dust II】

?

Isn't it Nuke anymore?

Can I see that mature version of NiKo again?

A line of text slowly appeared—

【Please select to substitute donk, sh1ro, zont1】

It changed again!

From the initial 【b1t, s1mple, electronic】 to 【apEX, ZywOo】, now another completely unfamiliar combination has come.

The only one he had some understanding of was sh1ro, the new sniper in Gambit Youngsters.

Does it mean these three people will form a team in the future?

He reviewed the effects of the talents—

The unknown entry fragger donk, the newcomer sniper sh1ro, plus a zont1 who likes to use M4A1 to hit bodies.

Without a doubt, the true core of this team is the remaining two people.

It's hard to imagine how amazing people could be to make this team comparable to NaVi and Vitality.

As for who to choose?

From the perspective of clearing the level, the simplest must be the unknown young player donk!

How hard can it be to play as an entry fragger?

【Substituting donk】

【Anonymous player has————】

【Error, repairing————】

【Anonymous player connected】

? It errored again? At least give me an error log! Where did it error?

The system ignored Jiao Yang's inner complaints, and new small text emerged—【Start your slaughter】

【3, 2, 1】

Jiao Yang went straight to the point in the voice chat: "Hello, you are currently in a dream, please do not say anything related to personal names and time."

The anonymous player's voice was quite young, with a Nordic accent: "Who are you?"

"That's not important, the way for us to leave this dream is for me to clear the level."

Jiao Yang held the dual pistols to deal with the three terrorists rushing from A Small, pa-pa-pa-pa, the sound of gunfire and crisp headshots formed a concerto.

The teammates at A Long were also very capable, especially the one who wasn't zont1 or sh1ro, who withstood quite a bit of pressure.

The dual pistols cooperated with the teammates to take down the two at A Long, and this round was easily won.

It's really simple!

【You have passed Round 1】

【Loading Round 2】

On the other side, the anonymous player also discovered the transition of the screen; although he was a bit surprised, he felt relieved thinking it was a dream.

He had had quite a few dreams these past few days and was already used to this situation; as long as it wasn't a nightmare where teammates left one after another, it was fine.

"What happens if I clear the round?" The anonymous player quickly adapted to the logic of the dream and asked back.

Jiao Yang smiled, thinking of the few words he chatted with NiKo after the match, and said: "You will have a good dream."

Holy crap! What's the situation! Why is the smoke grenade like this!

In the first full-buy round, the opponent threw a smoke grenade, and Jiao Yang only then realized belatedly that not only did the smoke grenade look different, but the entire map was different, and the feel of the firearms had also changed.

BUG?

What about the system? Why isn't it repairing!!!

The huge change in utility caught Jiao Yang off guard, and after being stunned, he was directly killed.

【You have been killed by the proxy player】

"Why didn't you explode the smoke just now?" The anonymous player asked curiously.

"You can explode smoke?!"

——

Is this still CS: GO?

【Start your slaughter】

【3, 2, 1】

Jiao Yang actually had a grenade in his hand, and threw it directly at the smoke grenade at his feet.

Bang! The smoke dissipated—

【You have been killed by the proxy player】

It really works!

【Start your slaughter】

【3, 2, 1】

Jiao Yang used the smoke-exploding grenade to take down the passing terrorists and completed the challenge.

"Your use of utility is so strange!" The anonymous player complained.

"So you're saying your understanding of utility is very good?" Jiao Yang admired those who could throw utility well the most at this moment.

No way, the more people lack something, the more they want it.

"It's alright, quite proficient." The anonymous player first boasted, then thought of something and added: "Although I make mistakes occasionally, that's because I throw a lot."

Jiao Yang smiled, thinking of An Wenxin's speculation about 【broky's utility understanding】, it was quite fitting.

"If possible, I'd like to introduce a player to you, he's quite like you." Jiao Yang meant broky, but unfortunately, he didn't have contact information at this time.

But the anonymous player's heart seemed to have been torn open, and he stopped talking.

"Something on your mind?"

Jiao Yang had already transformed into an aggressive entry fragger, directly pushing out of the B point.

B is empty! Jiao Yang immediately rotated back.

A flashbang flew over the A Long smoke, but it blinded himself, and he was directly taken down.

On the field, the opponent had the anonymous player and a proxy player left, while they had sh1ro and the big brother who performed well in the first round.

Jiao Yang let out a sigh of relief: "You let it slide, we should be able to pass."

Da! Da!

Responding to him was the sound of AK gunfire—

【Anonymous player killed the proxy player】

【Anonymous player headshot and killed sh1ro】

The anonymous player first dealt with the big brother proxy player head-on, then with one-shot health, using the cover of the headshot position on A Slope, raised his AK and took down sh1ro, who was jumping around with a submachine gun, with one shot.

This could already be considered a very bright performance!

"Nice Shot!" Jiao Yang praised without hesitation; it was quite normal to want to vent in a dream: "How about we play normally?"

""

The anonymous player didn't speak, his performance defaulted to Jiao Yang's words.

Unfortunately, even though the anonymous player performed well, Jiao Yang's clearing of the level was still not difficult, just occasionally missing, still being shadowed by the old man on the opposite side————

"Why do I feel like I'm very familiar with my teammates?" The anonymous player took the initiative to speak after a few rounds.

Jiao Yang's alarm bells rang; the dream might not allow the anonymous player to discuss any information related to himself!

He was about to speak, but the anonymous player had already opened his mouth: "Why is it exactly Twistzz that's missing?"

Just as Jiao Yang was waiting for the server to disconnect, the system didn't give any prompts.

It really bugged out!!!

But Jiao Yang didn't dare to maliciously exploit the BUG, and reminded: "It's best to use aliases for names."

The anonymous player scratched his head; this dream had quite a lot of rules.

For the sake of that possible "good dream" at the end, he chose to follow the rules: "This team is very similar to my current team, but they play better."

"Ever since DUST2 was removed from the competitive map pool, we haven't practiced this map."

!?

Dust II removed from the competitive map pool?

How is that possible?!

This is a map with historical heritage! The carrier of all CS players' memories!

Even for the upcoming 20th anniversary of CS, data miners had already confirmed that Valve would add the nostalgic version of Dust II to the casual mode.

How could they let such a map disappear from the competitive scene?

This is indeed a dream! It's too wild.

The anonymous player continued: "My friend T is leaving, because of various reasons. Although there's nothing unpleasant, I've been dreaming about the departure of my other friend R these past few days."

This T is Twistzz; Jiao Yang was fighting on the battlefield while trying to sort out the content the other side was talking about.

"You have a better relationship with R?"

The anonymous player only said there was nothing unpleasant about T, but mentioned R with a feeling of being inseparable.

"The three of us have a good relationship, but R and I are from the same cultural circle, we often make jokes that only we can understand."

That means he has a better relationship with R, and what he's worried about is the departure of R in the dream; Jiao Yang skipped the surface information and analyzed the deep content.

The three of them have a good relationship————

"Perhaps T's departure is the fuse for R." Jiao Yang gave the result.

At this time in the game, the B point had fallen, a 3v3 retake clutch.

Because they couldn't communicate, the proxy player went directly through the B tunnel, and sh1ro, this guy, directly saved his gun.

Jiao Yang was helpless and could only follow the proxy player through the B tunnel.

In this kind of clutch where it's hard to communicate and synchronize, it's better to let the teammate be the gun line.

The proxy player peeked out directly, and the anonymous player's Sniper Rifle rang out.

Killing the other player in front.

Jiao Yang aimed quickly, AK fired, even though the anonymous player lowered his head to hide behind the box immediately after firing, Jiao Yang still controlled the recoil and wall-banged the box to kill him.

It was in an instant that the person behind the cover peeked out to trade the kill.

Dong dong dong AK-47 once again controlled the recoil and headshot!

The gun-saving robot sh1ro also hurried back, but Jiao Yang didn't care anymore, peeked and locked onto the last person's position in the Dog Hole.

Pre-aiming, crouch-peek—one-shot headshot!

"Are you NiKo?" The anonymous player realized that the person on the opposite side was definitely an expert.

If you don't consider the voice, then the closest one is NiKo, especially this last pre-aim, it's too similar!

The anonymous player and NiKo have a good relationship, so dreaming about it isn't outrageous.

"I am donk."

Ever since he was pitted by some slippery guy in a dream, Jiao Yang also learned to hide information; anyway, it didn't affect anything regardless of what he reported, so he might as well avoid some karma.

"Never heard of it, you play very well, you have the level of a first-tier professional." The anonymous player wasn't familiar with this name, but didn't care about the stranger in the dream, and continued to ask: "You just said T would cause R to leave too, why?"

"The triangle is the most stable structure."

Jiao Yang didn't know how to say it, just thinking that if one person from the Qiyou Trio left VG, the remaining two would probably disperse quickly too.

"T said we would reunite in the future." The anonymous player didn't accept these ethereal reasons and preferred to believe his friend's words.

"The problem is why lose it?" Jiao Yang replied.

After the 1v3, the next round became easy again; Jiao Yang found that the anonymous player's team was a bit lacking in firepower.

And their side didn't seem much better; if it weren't for him taking donk's place and achieving results, the remaining four would be about the same as the opposite side.

Could the big brother be donk?

Damn!

What kind of team lets an unknown young player be the big brother? And he's also an entry fragger!

What about the Sniper Rifle? sh1ro, save us!

Jiao Yang complained wildly in his heart, and as a result, sh1ro missed again! This time he didn't even escape!

"Tsk, can you play the sniper or not! Let me!"

Bang! Missed.

Bang! Missed again.

Bang! Missed again.

Bang! Still didn't hit.

Bang! Still didn't hit.

Just as Jiao Yang made a big peek and prepared for the sixth attempt, the anonymous player watched him reload on the main road.

?????

No, why are there only five bullets?

Sorry, sh1ro, I blamed you wrong.

This game has a BUG!

【You have been killed by the anonymous player】

"You're a rifleman, right? The sniper rifle is no longer suitable for this version————" The anonymous player comforted him very thoughtfully.

Jiao Yang felt like he was shot in the heart; this was one of the few sniper-miss highlight reels in the past few months.

"What is the resistance to you and your friend's matter? Why is T leaving? Are the results not good?" Jiao Yang diverted the topic.

Generally speaking, club transfers are caused by poor results.

"Our results are very good, better than you imagine." The anonymous player was very confident.

Jiao Yang was a bit curious: "How good?"

"Grand Slam."

!!!

The Grand Slam in CS generally refers to winning 4 out of a series of Intel S-tier offline events within a year; for example, the DH Masters Jiao Yang is playing now is one of them.

This requires the team to have terrifying dominance, capable of suppressing all heroes.

Only the Major double-champion Astralis has done it in so many years, which shows how difficult it is.

The four people on the opposite team can actually get a Grand Slam? This is indeed a dream.

Unless the person replaced is indeed terrifying, otherwise he wouldn't believe it.

The anonymous player seemed to understand Jiao Yang's meaning from the silence: "T is the best rifleman in the world, he is not weaker than you."

Jiao Yang understood immediately, then he is indeed very strong.

He didn't correct the anonymous player that he was actually mainly a sniper.

"Then why? Club dispute?"

Jiao Yang knew from the previous chat that the team atmosphere was quite good, so the only thing left was the club's problem.

The anonymous player was silent for a while: "Not really, the club didn't renew the contract in time because they were short of money."

"Meaning, T didn't really want to leave that much, and the club could also renew, but by a twist of fate, the two sides missed each other?"

What kind of soap opera is this? Jiao Yang clenched his fists: "You just let him go like this, then anyone can leave like this!"

"The story of five people will end because of the accidental absence of one person, are you willing?" ===== CHAPTER 127 =====
