Chapter 50: How is that possible!

After Jiao Yang said this, the host, the audience behind the screens, and even his teammates felt a shock.

Yes, when did everyone lose the courage to fantasize?

Perhaps it was the moment they saw reality clearly.

They felt that naive dreams were childish and ridiculous, to the point where they were unwilling to believe, and even tried to prove that it was impossible.

Who would dare to imagine that an inconspicuous team could stand out from the failures of a crowd of star teams and defend the glory of even-numbered years?

And who would dare to imagine that a team that lost its first battle could go on a one-for-six run in the lower bracket, continuing the legend of odd-numbered years with a 3:0 crushing posture?

The daily lives we lead are all continuous miracles.

Now, CNCS is at a new peak; one Major, two teams, and Tyloo, which was in the world's top ten, is now being stepped on by VG.

Since VG can cross the mountains, what's wrong with dreaming a little?!

The barrage in the live broadcast room instantly boiled over—

【God Jiao is awesome! VG is awesome!】

【Damn Lide, is it this intense?!!】

【The guy who believes in miracles is just as amazing as the miracle itself!】

【Can't wait for Ti9 to blow up Miracle-, so anxious, so anxious.】

【Don't be anxious, we can beat the hell out of Liquid at IEM Sydney soon!】

【It's a pity OG doesn't have a CS division.】

And in the VG match room at this moment—

"Jiao Yang, you're a bit too arrogant." aumaN became serious, which was rare.

advent, however, didn't think much of it, tapped aumaN on the head, and said, "If you're afraid of being scolded, then practice your aim obediently! My rating was higher than yours this time."

With Jiao Yang there, tactics were executed exceptionally easily, advent's command pressure was much smaller, and after focusing on dueling, his aim had a certain rebound.

Instead, it was aumaN, the free agent, who couldn't pick off anyone when his teammates were too fierce in the front, and when things collapsed, he couldn't turn the tide like Jiao Yang, so his rating ranked last, only 0.89, which was still a large gap from Jiao Yang's 1.37.

"It's fine, I've been scolded plenty." Jiao Yang shrugged.

The expectations of Dota audiences and CS audiences are different, so when Jiao Yang made a mistake in Dota, he would often be "promoted" in various ways, and his performance was indeed not as brilliant as the Carry position, so even if he won, there would be people hurling abuse.

It was much easier here in CS, and some sarcastic comments actually seemed cute.

If mentality counts as strength, Jiao Yang could probably get a perfect score.

"Forget it, if you get scolded, we'll help you take some of it. Anyway, we're bad, so let them scold us." aumaN sighed.

"My rating is 1.2, I'm not bad." zhokiNg didn't take the blame.

aumaN glared at zhokiNg, then rubbed his stomach and changed the subject: "Hey, I'm so hungry. It's time to go celebrate."

"Let's eat something good today! To celebrate us beating Tyloo twice!"

kaze's phone rang.

"I'm going to take a call." Saying this, kaze left the match room.

"I feel like Kaze has been a bit strange lately." aumaN muttered.

Coming to the corridor and scanning to make sure no one was around, kaze began a low-voiced conversation in standard English:

"What is it?" The tone was not friendly.

"I've arrived in Shanghai, want to meet up tonight?" It was also in English.

Thinking of the celebration tonight, kaze hesitated: "No, I have something on tonight."

"Celebration banquet? You performed quite well." The other party was very attentive to the match.

kaze hung up the phone.

In the evening, An Wenxin, who was holed up in the dormitory, put down her phone.

"So this is what a celebration banquet is like? It feels no different from eating a normal meal."

On the phone was Jiao Yang's newly posted blog—a group photo of the five of them at a restaurant, with Jiao Yang's expression as unwilling as the caption "Great Adventure."

Casually saving the picture, An Wenxin continued her struggle—researching software.

"Xinxin, what are you doing?" Her roommate, seeing An Wenxin's high spirits, couldn't help but be curious and leaned over to look.

She saw An Wenxin quickly typing code while referring to a notebook, and the image on the screen changed.

Looking closer, it was actually the game screen of CS: GO, which made the roommate, who thought An Wenxin was learning programming, even more confused.

"What is this?"

"HLAE, emmm, it's just software used to record game operations."

"Let me see... Wow! Xinxin, you're too amazing!"

Watching the character on the screen exaggeratedly flick and shoot, in an instant, the enemy fell to the ground.

Although the roommate's admiration made An Wenxin feel a bit floaty, she still honestly explained: "This isn't me, it's that player who switched projects that I mentioned to you before."

"Oh oh, that what-what... Roast Whole Lamb?"

"It's Jiao Yang!" An Wenxin gently pinched the corner of her foodie roommate's mouth.

"Oh, right, right, Jiao's Roast Whole Lamb." The roommate didn't mind and continued to ask: "Is there any point in editing this?"

An Wenxin was stumped by the question for a moment; she hadn't thought about gaining anything from editing highlights, maybe she just wanted to participate?

However, in order to make her roommate understand, she thought of a better explanation—

"It's just to let more people know about VG. If a player makes a beautiful play but no one cares, then the player might lose motivation."

"Just like you and Xianxian often watch celebrity mixes, fans make videos to let more people know about the celebrity's existence, and the celebrity will also have more motivation to continue, right?"

"The game is the same. If newcomers know that our CS is so amazing, then newcomers will join this game. With a steady stream of newcomers, our CS will also become more powerful."

Electronic sports are actually similar to traditional sports, emphasizing a kind of cultural dissemination.

Just like An Wenxin learned a while ago that South Korea's LOL and Storm games are very strong, but Dota 2 didn't grow.

On one hand, South Korea's Dota 2 was indeed blown up by CN, but on the other hand, the local esports atmosphere also tends toward games like StarCraft and LOL from Blizzard and Riot.

And Dota 2 can't compete with LOL in popularity, also because of Valve's inaction, which makes Dota 2 fans' secondary creations insufficient, to the point where it's difficult for newcomers to get into the game.

An Wenxin, who couldn't even beat the Dota 2 beginner tutorial, sighed and continued:

"A popular game will definitely have people helping to spread it, and the wider it spreads, the more popular it becomes."

"I hope everyone can come and play CS, so I thought about making these highlights."

At this time, the roommate's expression was already a bit worshipful. While the classmates around her were frantically comparing material possessions, Xinxin was actually still insisting on this useless passion...

"Xinxin, then can I play with you?"

Seeing her roommate take the bait, An Wenxin was stunned for a moment, then showed extremely high enthusiasm:

"Okay okay, you download Steam first..."

"Emmm, forget it, I'll download it for you."

"Uh, your computer desktop is really... full."

Watching An Wenxin nimbly operating the laptop, the roommate suddenly thought of something:

"I play badly, Xinxin, you won't be angry, right?"

"How could that be!" ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
