Chapter 5

"Captain, I have something to do, so I'll go first."

Freeman opened the training room door and walked in, not caring about the reaction of advent and Jiao Yang.

advent then remembered that Freeman had just proposed the idea of leaving the team a few days ago. Finding someone for a tryout so quickly was a bit too fast.

However, Jiao Yang was likely someone the boss wanted to discourage. Regarding this misunderstanding, advent wasn't in a position to explain right now.

"Sorry, he's not in a good mood lately," advent said quite helplessly.

Jiao Yang didn't take this matter to heart and followed advent toward the canteen.

On the way, the two also ran into aumaN and kaze, who were coming out after lunch.

This time the greeting was much more normal, and it could be considered getting familiar with each other.

It was aumaN who reminded advent that they had a training match in the afternoon and not to be late.

This made Jiao Yang breathe a complete sigh of relief. Training matches must never be leaked to anyone; this was the consensus of the two teams. As such, it meant this tryout really had to come to an end for now.

In a good mood, he stepped into the long-lost canteen and even greeted the auntie.

VG's canteen was extremely generous; the auntie's hand when serving dishes was steady, and even the mice here could eat until they were sturdy, absolutely no chance of malnutrition.

"Aren't you eating?" Jiao Yang sat down beside advent with his meal box.

"Just had breakfast, let it settle first." advent looked at Jiao Yang's natural actions and was a bit puzzled, asking: "Jiao Yang, have you been to the canteen before?"

"Occasionally, the food here is average, the taste is quite plain."

advent nodded. No wonder this guy wasn't curious about the club at all along the way; turns out he had been here before.

"By the way Jiao Yang, what does your family think about you playing professionally?"

"Not very supportive, I guess. They think it's a waste of youth, but it'll be fine if I can achieve results."

Although Jiao Yang didn't understand why advent would ask these questions, he answered truthfully.

As expected!

advent had already sketched out the general outline of the story in his mind, nothing more than a child from a wealthy family not doing his proper job and pursuing a so-called dream.

Boss Aqing is like this, and Jiao Yang, as a relative, is probably the same.

But the Jiao Yang before him had some talent. Even without training, he could suppress domestic first-tier players like him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the future is promising.

It's a pity to let such talent go.

Freeman is leaving soon, and the club isn't willing to give more funding, so he probably can't find a better candidate on the market.

And if he could persuade the boss to put his relative in the CS division, the funding might also increase.

Killing two birds with one stone.

There's no reason not to try this kind of thing.

"Not much time today, Jiao Yang. Let's add each other as friends first, and then play a few rounds with the teammates you just saw."

Jiao Yang nodded. A tryout definitely wouldn't be that simple; still had to play a few team confrontations.

The club had to make a decision based on performance, teammate evaluations, and various factors.

Many things couldn't be solved by strength alone, and he didn't want the situation in the Dota2 division to happen again.

"Sure, that's settled. I'll contact you then." advent hurriedly added a sentence after finishing: "Don't panic, I'll help you fight for it."

Jiao Yang understood. For a player switching projects like him, advent was actually so attentive... It meant the strength he showed just now was indeed a bit too much. Must find a way to quickly improve his strength to round out this lie.

Although he couldn't rely entirely on strength, he couldn't do it without strength either.

"Then thanks, Team Leader Liang." Out of respect for his colleague and potential future captain, Jiao Yang replied.

And in advent's view, this "Team Leader Liang" had changed from the initial arrogance to the young man's recognition.

Just like Zhuge Kongming gaining Liu Xuande's trust back then, advent felt the burden on his shoulders become heavy.

What he was facing now was not just the rise and fall of the VG team, but the future of CNCS.

In this circle, no one knew better than him how much they lacked true geniuses.

So, even when facing the club's boss, he had to fight with all his might.

After the meal, Jiao Yang said goodbye to advent and went to the training room of the Dota department on another floor.

No other reason, the club dormitory didn't have a computer, and the computer accessories he just bought were still in transit.

Having just returned from a major tournament, the people in the team went to relax, and the training room was empty, just right for no one to disturb his CSGO practice.

Turning on the computer, thought about it, and still opened the streaming software.

Changed the stream title to: 【Major champion descends on CS】

Then opened AIM BOTZ and started practicing aiming to warm up.

According to a long-necked UP on Bilibili, practicing marksmanship mainly starts from counter-strafing, positioning, recoil control, and pre-aiming.

The first thing Jiao Yang had to learn was counter-strafing. In the previous few matches, he used crouch-strafing. It was fine for hitting newcomers, but when playing against advent, the other party could adjust the aiming position according to his preferences.

He now needed to practice reverse-key counter-strafing, which is holding the reverse direction key before firing.

As for positioning, this was his strength. Under the blessing of b1t's talent, he was already used to aiming before firing, and coupled with his decent reaction, the killing process wasn't dragging.

Recoil control also needed practice, but for now, the accuracy of the AK-47 and M4's first few shots was enough for him; just need simple recoil control.

And pre-aiming required more map understanding, which probably had to be familiarized through time first.

Just as he was slaughtering bots like a toddler learning to walk, fans had already entered the stream one after another.

【Congratulations to Brother Jiao for winning the championship!!!!!! Keep it up! Win TI!】

【Yo, playing CSGO? I feel like you really want to integrate into the bear paw】

【Barrage, don't bring up fg rhythm】

【Brother Jiao, why are you still practicing aiming in CS? Let me teach you, download a buff on your phone first】

Watching the audience gradually increase, Jiao Yang exited the practice map and prepared to start a match.

【Why is it still beginner matchmaking? Buy a membership!】

【Iron Rooster Jiao Yang】

【Don't even know how to walk when you get in later】

【New viewers are still asking, old viewers have already started laughing】

Jiao Yang only then learned that he could buy a membership to skip the beginner training camp. He nimbly opened the blue-green modifier to pay 5E, and then started ladder ranking.

Jiao Yang curled his lips and said seriously: "You guys watch closely, the talent of a Major champion."

【Hahahaha, the streamer is already too far ahead of CS professional players】

【Indeed, s1mple next door is blown up so much, doesn't he also not have a Major championship?】

【Here we need to talk about the interesting things in 2018】

【What champion talent? The talent of having midlane kills executed by the support?】

"System prompt: 'Pudding' has been muted for 5 minutes by room manager 'ori Jiao Yang'"

The game officially started, and the map came to the old three of Inferno, also known as the small town of purgatory.

Jiao Yang's side was T-side. The teammates were already killing everywhere in warm-up mode, only he was standing there foolishly.

No other reason, the small text appearing before his eyes was a bit wrong—

【Major Talent System activated】

【Detected that host's level has reached the average of players in this match】

【System will skip the talent draw link】
