“No way! Is Blackie actually popping off?”
“Holy shit! Blackie just wiped the whole enemy team with that Deagle!”
“Haha, You Sa that dog was just trash-talking saying the Deagle is useless. Now tell me loud and clear—is the Deagle useless or not?!”
“Am I seeing things? Blackie’s actually got hands today, huh!”
“Wuwuwu! He’s back! Blackie’s back!”
“No way! What was that crouch to dodge the Zeus from behind? Is he cheating?”
“A blind cat stumbling on a dead rat! Blackie’s just got dogshit luck!”
“.”
The livestream chat flooded with all kinds of messages.
But in the T-side voice chat, the blue random teammate paused for a moment, then immediately praised from the heart:
“Nice shot! Sick play, bro!”
“Your Deagle is insane! That clutch was absolutely beautiful!”
Dying early had its perks.
You could watch your teammates pop off.
The blue random teammate watched with his heart racing as Meng Lang first somehow let out a roar that made You Sa shut up, then crouched to dodge the Zeus before Deagling the enemy for the return frag, followed by spinning like a top to pluck a CT out of the air jumping down from the B site boxes, and finally tapping San Ye from medium-long distance with one shot.
“Sick!”
Wang Yitong, the usually quiet younger cousin, also chimed in with praise.
At this moment, You Sa—who had been yapping nonstop just now—and the complaining female moderator were as if someone had hit their mute button, unable to squeeze out a peep for the longest time.
Meng Lang didn’t pay too much attention, still savoring that magical sensation when [Spider Sense] triggered just now, and that crucial shiver down his spine. Only when he heard the praise from his random teammate and cousin did he snap back to reality.
“Basic stuff, basic stuff!”
He replied modestly, then suddenly turned and said to Blue with feigned seriousness: “Blue! We gotta play seriously this match! I feel like your aim and awareness are pretty good, way better than those ‘big talkers.’ If we want to win, we’ll really have to rely on us.”
Big talkers?
You Sa froze for a second before realizing—this bastard was mocking him. His face instantly turned the color of braised pork!
By now, through his own livestream chat tip-offs, he also knew who his teammate Meng Lang was.
Some CNCS prodigy kid from the early days.
What a joke!
A washed-up pro who went abroad to play competitively and got kicked from the team!
Sorry, I want to laugh.
You Sa recalled the highlight clip of that crucial EG match he had watched. Unable to save face, he directly opened his mouth to mock, “Oh! Truly amazing! A pro player running to Perfect World matchmaking to smurf! What a show, bro! If you’re so good, how come you hit that shot in the leg during the match?”
The implication: you’re just a pro noob, still putting on airs here.
However, the moment You Sa said this,
even the trolls in Meng Lang’s stream looked at each other in dismay.
As the saying goes, don’t slap someone in the face; picking at scars and then rubbing salt in the wound was going too far.
Who would’ve expected Meng Lang to not mind at all, replying with two words in a “sincere” tone:
“Nervous.”
“.”
You Sa, who had been sitting back waiting to watch Meng Lang fail to get off the stage, was stunned by those two words.
Did you say nervous?
And you said it so damn sincerely!
Pfft—!
The trolls in the livestream burst out laughing too!
The long-gun round got overturned, and the CT side was all feeling terrible.
“This Ordinary Company Wang Yanbing is a bit suspicious,” Danking suddenly said.
“What’s suspicious?” San Ye asked subconsciously.
“Doesn’t seem like an ordinary company soldier,” Danking said in a deep voice.
“.”
San Ye.
“Stop overthinking it. He just got a bit lucky and found some form, that’s all.”
San Ye immediately shook his head noncommittally. “You guys force buy this round. Watch me Deagle them back.”
Danking quickly had a plan for this force-buy round.
“Fine, then we give up A Long this round. You hold A Platform with the Deagle for info, we’ll hold A Short, Mid, and B Tunnels.”
On a force-buy round, CT had a weapon disadvantage and wasn’t suited for long-range duels at A Long.
Might as well let San Ye solo hold A Platform for info, take a few Deagle shots, and wait for teammates to retake if he spotted anyone.
Unfortunately, this round Meng Lang bought an AK and wrapped through B1 to Mid. While his AK wasn’t as cracked as those European and American pros, it was more than enough to dominate Perfect World matchmaking. He pushed out with the flash—a contact play—easily breaking through the Mid defense!
Well, he broke through Danking’s Mid—Danking hadn’t gone A and instead bought an MP9 to hold Mid close, trying to support A or B the moment the Ts made a play.
He didn’t expect Meng Lang coming out of Mid with the AK to run him down like a freight train.
“Ordinary Company Wang Yanbing headshotted Danking with AK47!”
Sent flying against the wall, Danking startled and couldn’t help but complain, “Holy shit! How is that swing so fast? The flash hadn’t even popped and he was already out. This Ordinary Company Wang Yanbing is toxic!! The barrel was practically in my mouth.”
Hearing Danking’s words, the viewers in the stream all laughed.
“Little greedy cat, loves eating barrels, huh?”
“Youth sleep really is good. Falls asleep the moment he hits the ground.”
“Who is this Wang Yanbing? His aim is pretty nasty!”
“.”
In the ongoing match, after Meng Lang broke through Mid, he directly smoked off CT spawn and pincered B with his teammate coming from B Tunnels.
The main B defender on CT saw Mid had fallen. Also on a force buy with an MP9, he didn’t think about taking the fight head-on. Hiding at white car, he quickly smoked himself off to buy time for teammates to retake.
“He’s at white car.”
Meng Lang entered B from B Window, checked default and Plat, then locked onto the white car position, immediately giving info to teammates before chuckling, “Nade stack!”
You Sa and his female mod didn’t react at first.
But the younger cousin, the blue random teammate, and Meng Lang—three of them tossed three grenades, a man-made bombing zone that joyfully sent the CT saving at white car to his grave, with Meng Lang getting the kill.
Then the cousin planted the bomb, and all five defended.
The moment the bomb countdown lit up, San Ye, who had rotated to Sand, felt his heart sink halfway.
Dust II!
Retaking B site has always been a problem for the ages.
“Save save.”
San Ye, crouching at A Long Pit, shook his head.
3v5, there was simply no chance of winning. The force-buy CTs could only choose to save.
If they didn’t save, they wouldn’t have money next round.
But the T side simply didn’t let them save. While the cousin defended, the other four all pushed out to hunt for saves.
Meng Lang’s AK took two more heads, completing a 4K in the round.
From death spectator view, Danking watched Meng Lang’s continuous feed on the top-right of the screen, and his 9/1 K/D across three rounds, finally sensing something was wrong. He called out in his raspy voice, “Bro, weren’t you supposed to be smurfing with me? Why does it feel like we’re the ones getting smurfed on? How did this Wang Yanbing get to pop off like this? Who the hell is this guy?”
Little did Danking know, Meng Lang, a player who played professionally in the European and American shark pool, would come to Perfect World to play matchmaking.
No choice—Meng Lang didn’t want to either. It was all the system’s mission.
But on the CT side, a new round started with an argument. It turned out there was a small插曲 during the save hunt just now.
The reason was that Blue random teammate and You Sa were both creeping from B1 toward Mid. After confirming someone was at the B1-Mid corner, Blue called out, “Wait a sec, let me throw a grenade.”
However, You Sa, hungry for kills, charged straight in, only to get mowed down by the enemy’s SMG holding close!
[MilkyWhiteSnow headshotted You Sa with MP9]
Bang!
Right at that moment, the random teammate’s grenade exploded!
Getting boosted again while trying to impress the girl, unable to save face, You Sa immediately flew into a rage upon hearing the grenade explode!
“I’m gonna freaking lose it! Who naded?! Who the hell naded?!”
“Gamer High-Explosive Grenade @ Mid—bro! Can you not throw your stupid grenade when I’m already charging in?”
“But I called out I was throwing the grenade beforehand?” Blue random teammate was a bit confused.
And you were already dead before my grenade even exploded. What does this have to do with the grenade?
You Sa paused for a moment, stubbornly retorting:
“Bro, can you stop disgusting me? I’m already out, and you’re telling me you’re throwing a grenade? Throw your mom’s grenade!”
The slow-tongued Blue random teammate, being confronted like this, only felt he was in the wrong and couldn’t say a word.
But You Sa still wouldn’t let it go, teaming up with the female mod to press further, “Where are you from? Your accent sounds like you’re from XX. Can’t people from XX understand Chinese? Or can’t they understand human speech?”
Why can this guy bark so much?
Meng Lang really couldn’t stand watching an honest guy get bullied.
“Bro, he called out the grenade before throwing it.”
“Taking a step back, even if he didn’t say it, let me ask you! Are you human? Do you have eyes? Can you adapt to the situation? Do you have reaction ability? Do you know the reaction time range of a modern adult male?”
Hearing Meng Lang’s words, You Sa tried to refute at first, but suddenly found them somewhat familiar.
Thinking carefully, he was shocked to realize these were the exact words he had used to flame Blue random teammate in the previous match, completely parroted by Meng Lang.
His face instantly turned the color of braised pork.
This time, even the viewers in You Sa’s Bilibili stream burst out laughing.
“Pffft hahaha! Nice flame!”
“This Wang Yanbing has some skills!”
“Fair point, You Sa was a bit too much this round.”
“.”
“Fair point your mom, you call this ‘a bit too much’?”
“Braindead fans really have no brains. This stupid streamer frantically flaming teammates I won’t even mention, but regional discrimination can go get 4000+ first, okay?”
“This streamer’s regional discrimination really is incomprehensible.”
“So annoying to watch. Every time he dies he frantically blames teammates. It’s all the teammates’ fault, right?”
“.”
If he hadn’t queued with Meng Lang this round, with Blue random teammate’s personality, he might’ve been bullied and pressured for the entire game.
But now Meng Lang spoke up for justice, directly roasting You Sa into silence in one wave.
Plus, the chat sentiment in You Sa’s own stream wasn’t looking good, so he could only selectively cover up, “I wasn’t doing regional discrimination. I meant that I’m family with XX people! No? Can’t I say family anymore? Aren’t you guys a bit too triggered?”
“Ah fine fine fine! I won’t say anything. I’ll just mute my mic this round, okay.”
He said this last sentence in the game voice chat.
You should’ve muted long ago. You’re completely negative communication.
Meng Lang thought to himself.
He didn’t have a habit of pushing an advantage to bully others. Moreover, he was playing Perfect World on G2’s computer today all for the newbie mission rewards.
And without You Sa’s incessant yapping, following Meng Lang’s Deagle clutch in the second round and taking this round, Blue random teammate gradually found his form. After the sniper Wang Yitong got the AWP, he also stabilized. The remaining first-half rounds became much easier.
Although the enemy’s Danking and San Ye occasionally popped off and got a few rounds back, plus Meng Lang’s hand injury would occasionally affect his mechanics, making it hard for him to sustain good form continuously.
But by the time the first half ended, Meng Lang’s T side still managed a 10:5, leading by five rounds.
During the side switch, San Ye and Danking gave their teammates a pep talk, saying Dust II was a T-sided map, and they could catch up if they played well on T-side in the second half.
But reality was cruel.
Meng Lang popped off a bit in the first half. In the second half, his hands cooled down a little, but younger cousin Wang Yitong stepped up.
They duo held A.
After all, the cousin was NAVI youth team, almost got an offer from G2 to play main AWP.
Starting from a pistol round quad-kill, Wang Yitong got opening kills in several consecutive rounds with the AWP.
Adding Meng Lang’s util and trades, A site was held impregnable by the two brothers.
When the enemy didn’t dare to force A Long, the cousin actually pushed the AWP up to A Doors and forcibly got an opening kill through the door crack outside A Long.
CT won four rounds in a row, and the score quickly became 14:5.
This round the Ts hit A Short. You Sa and the female mod were the first to die.
Blue random teammate got intercepted by the player the Ts left at Mid while rotating from B site to retake. Meng Lang and Wang Yitong at A Long quickly rotated back to defend A Platform.
“No more smokes. I’ll flash over the slope, you hold A Platform for me,” Meng Lang said concisely.
“Okay!” The cousin nodded.
Next, Meng Lang threw a flash over the slope. The cousin AWPed one on A Platform. Meng Lang crept up the slope and spray-transferred with the AK, killing two.

[Ordinary Company Wang Yanbing killed MilkyWhiteSnow with AK47]
“Holy shit! This Wang Yanbing is popping off again!”
In T-side voice chat, Danking quickly called, “Teammate planted default A. San Ye don’t peek, just wait for the defuse. I’ll wrap A Long.”
“Careful, enemy AWP might not have rotated back yet. Could be counter-holding A Doors,” San Ye reminded with a frown, then the corner of his mouth curled up. “Ramp, I’ll hold this angle. I don’t believe his AK can challenge my AWP.”
After all, San Ye was an active professional main AWP in the CN scene. He had his pride too.
The Meng Lang on Ramp tried to jiggle peek!
Boom—!
San Ye didn’t fall for the bait at all. While Meng Lang pulled back, he locked the position and wallbanged him through the wooden box for body damage, dropping him to 16 HP.
“Lit!” San Ye smiled.
Trying to challenge my AWP?
Too naive!
At the same time, CT Meng Lang listened to the bomb countdown, also feeling a headache.
“Can’t do it. Enemy AWP is holding too tight.”
He was originally a sniper himself. Though he had switched to rifles, he more often anchored B and was better with the M4A1.
The AK wasn’t his forte either.
“If I had the AWP I might be able to try.”
Cousin Wang Yitong said calmly, “Someone’s wrapping A Long. I only have a grenade left, I can’t cross.”
Without smoking off his back, he couldn’t peek A Short to duel San Ye.
Wait! You have a grenade?
You have a grenade!
I have one too!
Hearing this, Meng Lang’s heart stirred, and a bold idea surfaced in his mind!
“Then use the grenade!”
Meng Lang suddenly spoke.
“Huh?”
The cousin was stunned, blinking.
And so, the viewers in Meng Lang’s Douyu stream witnessed a jaw-dropping scene.
Meng Lang at A Ramp and Wang Yitong at A Long faced each other, almost simultaneously throwing grenades at their own feet while swapping to their guns and dropping them!
Boom—!
Boom—!
The AWP and AK landed right at the grenade explosion points!
You must know, CS:GO’s Source engine gives in-game objects, including guns, real physics interactions. When a high-explosive grenade explodes, it generates a shockwave that applies force to weapon models in range, causing them to be blasted away or ricochet!
One AWP, one AK!
Before they even hit the ground, they were sent flying by the intense flames of the explosion, shooting across toward each other.
“AWP incoming!!!”
Meng Lang shouted lightly!
The instant he caught the gun, he aggressively peeked out from the slope.
Pre-aim!
Scope up!
No one in crosshair.
The next second, San Ye wide-swinged from the other side of A Short, hugging the wall.
Meng Lang almost reflexively—the moment his eyes saw him, he flicked!
“Bang—!”
The AWP muzzle flashed!
[Ordinary Company Wang Yanbing killed z4KR with AWP]
San Ye: ???
Wasn’t it an AK?
Where the hell did he get an AWP?
Almost simultaneously, Wang Yitong at A Long Pit, who had picked up Meng Lang’s AK and was counter-holding A Doors, also traded and took down Danking in one go.
[Shadow killed Danking with AK47]
Cousin duo clutch!
Secured!
Danking was completely dumbfounded!
He thought the cousin had the AWP, so he threw a flash from inside A Doors and wide-swung for the angle. Who would’ve expected he’d swapped to AK!
At this moment, even the troll viewers in Meng Lang’s livestream were all shocked!
Holy freaking shit!
Brothers, did you have to play that cool?!
This time, Meng Lang’s livestream chat absolutely exploded!
