Chapter 51: And this day should not be far off

"The opponents are coming, get ready!"

After a while, the opponents indeed didn't check the corners as An Wenxin had expected, and she shouted: "Shoot!"

The roommate, who was crouching in the corner of the screen, immediately pressed her right hand onto the mouse.

The AK bullets poured out, very magnificently tracing the outline of the human body, and then she was humiliated to death by the opponent's knife.

The score was locked at 0:16, and even the teammates who were frantically spraying at the beginning didn't say anything, silently exiting the game.

The air in the dormitory seemed to freeze as well. An Wenxin tried her best to suppress her rising blood pressure and comforted her softly:

"It's okay, the opponents might be smurfing. And playing with me won't give you a good experience. Next time Xianxian and the others come back, I'll be the coach and teach you how to play."

Actually, An Wenxin felt a bit guilty saying this, because her score was indeed 1500-something, while the opponents' performance was at most around 1000.

Normally, she should be dominating in this kind of match.

Even with a complete novice who doesn't know how to play, they shouldn't be shut out.

Unfortunately, her 1500 points were all water...

Now she finally realized that relying on others to rank up is actually a destruction of the game environment, and it also fuels smurfing and reverse smurfing.

So who brought her up so many points?

Taking a look at the 5E friend list, the avatar of the culprit 【VG's Ori himself】 hadn't lit up for a long time.

Wait!

Why didn't she feel that Jiao Yang was smurfing at the time?!!

An Wenxin's brain turned the corner; at the time, she just felt that Jiao Yang was very strong and never thought that Jiao Yang was a professional player.

Because...

Jiao Yang was playing placement matches!

In other words, the 5E system thought he only had a level of around 2000 points!

Thinking of this, An Wenxin felt that she had discovered a new world, immediately clicked on 【VG's Ori himself】's personal profile, and started downloading all of Jiao Yang's past match demos.

Gradually, she discovered the problem—

Jiao Yang seemed to be truly "getting stronger the more he plays," just as he said in the live broadcast.

He only used half a month to evolve to the level of being able to blow up the domestic first-tier; what kind of terrifying talent is this?!!

Recalling Jiao Yang's words in the post-match interview, "That must be to win the championship," An Wenxin now had a different view.

(Jiao Yang believer +1)

April 15, 2019, the noon of the second day after the match ended, Jiao Yang, who rarely slept in, woke up from his bed.

The Qiyou Trio went home for the holidays, and kaze was not at the base because he had something to do.

Jiao Yang returned to a state of being alone. After a simple wash, he couldn't think of any good entertainment projects, so he opened the pink video website.

The recommendation at the top was an extremely exciting, blood-pumping—

Kill highlights.

The production was slightly rough, but the timeliness was very good, editing all the brilliant operations of VG's matches these past few days.

Unfortunately, not many people cared about the carefully produced content; the video released in the early morning only had double-digit views by noon.

After watching it, Jiao Yang gave it a "triple-link" (like, coin, favorite) and just as he was about to leave, he discovered another video in the recommendation slot next to it.

Also released in the early morning, that video already had nearly 20,000 views, and the title was also very bold—

"The hope of CNCS? Non-existent! On why it's impossible for Ori to lead VG to win the championship."

Right from the start, a high-pitched voice attracted the audience's attention, directly pointing out the theme: VG is just a flash in the pan.

Then it began to introduce Ori's other identity—the Major champion midlaner of Dota 2.

Then there was popular science about the VG club, explaining to the audience that VG is a club with Dota as its core project.

And by proving that the schedules of IEM Sydney and the Paris Disney Major conflicted, it proved Ori's awkward position.

Finally, it discussed from another aspect, which was the results; there was no lineup on paper in the country that could win the championship, and VG was not suitable for Ori either.

VG's tactical style relies on the experience of old veterans to defeat opponents, while Ori can't even throw utility well, and he is more powerful because of his aim.

No matter how VG's tactics are, they are just learning from Europe, while aim is universal.

If Ori wants to be compatible with CS and Dota 2, the only possibility is to go abroad and join a team that is also strong in CS; it's not impossible to create a miracle of double championships in Dota 2 and CS.

It listed many teams, such as VP, Fnatic, NiP, NaVi, and even Liquid, which has been very popular recently.

As expected, when it talked about going abroad, the number of barrages surged directly, and the comment section was also similar content—

VG cannot give up Ori; this year's VG Dota 2 is terrifyingly strong.

The video creator directly countered with "clubs are for making money," and cited many examples of sky-high transfers, including cases where players and management had an excellent relationship but were sold off anyway.

Then it released Ori's Dota 2 data at VG, as well as the idea of VG fans discussing letting the Carry position Zhang Jun switch to mid.

It argued that if they wanted to poach, there were many powerful Carry and mid players in the country who could replace him.

Everything was reasonable and well-founded, making it convincing.

Suddenly, everyone who was just excited about the future of CNCS felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads, chilling them to the scalp.

Although they had nothing to say, they still hoped to see CNCS get better one day.

So they could only emotionally spray the video creator, causing the video's popularity to get higher and higher.

Jiao Yang finished watching the whole video and had to praise the creator's rigorous logic; the several possible situations given all had data as support:

A. Ori is not strong enough, no one needs him, he's a flash in the pan, so he cannot be the hope of CNCS.

B. Ori is strong but limited, then the management will not agree to let him be distracted by a project with no value.

C. Ori is strong enough, strong enough that even without giving up Dota 2, he can lead these few people at VG to get good results. Then the ending is being bought away by a big club, so he cannot be the hope of CNCS.

However, Jiao Yang had a different idea.

What if he was a non-sale item?

Not like the non-sale item that props up the table at LGD, but an absolute core of team building, then no club would be able to afford him.

As for why he insisted on staying at VG...

On one hand, his relationship with the Qiyou Trio, kaze, and Aqing was getting better and better.

On the other hand—he needed teammates with average levels.

The prerequisite for the Talent System to open is that the owner's level must be lower than the average level of the opposing players.

If he went directly into a strong team, then he would have a hard time getting opportunities for growth.

Perhaps by relying on short-term growth, he could slowly catch up with his teammates' pace, but he would always only be the one being led.

After playing professional Dota for so many years, he had gotten used to being led, and now he just wanted to return to the way he was when he debuted, becoming the thigh of the whole team, becoming the genius teenager he was at the beginning.

He liked the feeling of being needed.

Looking at ZywOo's exaggerated talent on the system, Jiao Yang was looking forward to it—

Perhaps one day, he would be able to communicate with this genius who was stuck in prison.

And this day should not be far off. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
