Leonkai’s cheat-detection video caused quite a shift in the community’s attitude toward Yang Yu.
After all, when it came to spotting cheats, if Leonkai said he was NIKO, no one would dare go and praise that Major champion.
As the most veteran cheat-detection streamer with the best reputation, Leonkai’s words still carried plenty of weight in this regard.
So the community’s discussion over whether Yang Yu was using cheats decreased by a lot. Now, players in the community were more inclined to believe that Yang Yu was a genius youth who had appeared out of nowhere.
Yang Yu had not proven himself offline, so there were still some players who remained skeptical about whether Yang Yu was a “green player.”
But many people in the community had already begun paying attention to this sudden monster called “Calm Down a Little” who had appeared on the ladder.
These discussions meant nothing to Yang Yu, but the guys in Dorm 302 often argued with people in the community.
“I’m seriously speechless. There are still people under Leonkai’s video saying you might not have wallhacks, but you definitely have an aimbot,” Xu Kun said indignantly. “I told them you have to grind 500 headshots in deathmatch every day and that you trained your way up like this, but they don’t believe it at all.”
Yang Yu was turning on his computer, preparing to begin his daily training. Hearing this, he only shrugged. “If you argue with them online, the moment you take it seriously, you’ve already lost.”
After saying that, he quickly entered TG deathmatch mode and began his daily deathmatch training.
Compared to ordinary deathmatch, TG deathmatch was a little more intense. There were even quite a few pros who practiced their aim here.
Although Yang Yu needed to pay the price for the “B1T Headshot Talent,” he now also had to consider the question of intensity. Of course he could go farm weaker players in lower-intensity servers to complete the mission quickly, but high-intensity competition was what could activate his form faster and gradually improve his aim.
Compared to when he had just obtained the “B1T Headshot Talent,” Yang Yu’s current performance in deathmatch was completely different.
When he had first started deathmatch training, Yang Yu was like a spinning top getting whipped around in deathmatch.
Who am I, where am I, who shot me—this had basically been his normal state.
But now, Yang Yu even turned off the game sound, listened to David Tao’s songs, and pulled off crazy plays in the TG deathmatch server.
“Ohhh ahhh~ yeah~”
Yang Yu hummed along to Tao Jiji’s strange cries as he respawned at T spawn on Mirage. Looking at a terrorist at the entrance toward B apartments, he dragged his crosshair over and opened fire in a spray.
By the third bullet, he had successfully killed him with a headshot.
Yang Yu carried his AK and pushed toward mid. Just then, another fly-head respawned at T entrance. His crosshair glided over smoothly, and with one precise tap to the head, he instantly killed him.
The person behind the sandbags in mid heard the sound and peeked out directly, prefiring Yang Yu. Yang Yu crouched to slightly avoid the firing line, then stood up and sprayed back at him, securing another kill.
Damage feedback markers and tracer rounds suddenly came from behind him. Yang Yu immediately turned and snapped onto the target.
Another headshot.
Just like that, he stood directly in the T entrance area and began spinning around like a giant top.
“Damn, the top right is all Potato’s kill feed.”
“That positioning is as calm as post-nut clarity.”
“Kidding you. Even after busting, you wouldn’t be this calm.”
Xu Kun and Huang Zicheng looked at each other, then laughed lewdly together.
“But it really is insane.” Huang Zicheng looked at Yang Yu’s screen and clicked his tongue in wonder. “It hasn’t even been a month, right? His aim went from humanoid to genuine aim god.”
Xu Kun asked again at this moment, “By the way, Potato, are you really planning to go pro?”
“I’m planning to give it a shot.” Yang Yu did not speak too absolutely.
“The domestic CS environment really isn’t that ideal. I think you’d be better off switching to Valorant. If you make a name for yourself, you can even do some streaming.” Huang Zicheng sincerely suggested. As an old player who had been watching matches since 2017, he understood the difficulties of CNCS all too well.
Back in 2017 and 2018, domestic players were still a group of people relying on sheer passion to charge into international tournaments. But as their tactical systems and youth training failed to connect with the international scene, CNCS had already fallen out of step with the international level.
This also led to the results in the following years repeatedly ending in “glorious defeat.”
Right now, counting everything, there were only four proper professional teams in China, and among them, only two could barely go abroad to play tournaments.
So even though he liked CSGO more, deep down he still recommended that Yang Yu try switching to Valorant. After all, Valorant was operated by Riot, and its popularity was currently at its peak. Once he made a name for himself, he could directly become famous and instantly turn into an esports superstar.
“But I still think CSGO is more interesting.”
Yang Yu understood this point as well. It was not impossible for him to truly switch to Valorant. Although his system was for CSGO, using CSGO skills to play Valorant was also feasible.
But he understood very clearly that if he truly went pro, then for the whole year, everything would revolve around that game. If he did not like it, then how was that any different from going to work?
Right now, he was more interested in CSGO, and he was more willing to work toward the CSGO professional scene.
Hearing this, Huang Zicheng also smiled. “If one day I can see my brother’s figure on the stage, that’d be pretty nice too, haha.”
“When the time comes, I’ll definitely drape the national flag over my shoulders, one-tap S1mple, one-tap ZywOo, and directly win a championship back for CNCS!” Yang Yu looked toward the future.
“You haven’t even gone pro yet and you’re already popping champagne?”
“This is called having a goal, haha!” Yang Yu also laughed.
“Then I’ll have to stock up on your stickers first. When the time comes, BUFF will ignite straight up, and I’ll become a millionaire, haha.”
“It really has to be you!”
Just like that, Yang Yu chatted with Huang Zicheng while landing headshots in deathmatch.
Huang Zicheng watched Yang Yu’s smooth movements, his eyes full of praise. He thought back to the joke just now.
Draping the national flag over his shoulders and winning a championship for CNCS!
If that day really came, wouldn’t that be pretty good?
Most importantly, he felt that if it was Potato, he might really be able to do it.
After all, this guy’s talent truly was not bad. He was the hardworking type of genius.
Every day, he passionately played deathmatch until he had gotten 500 headshots before stopping. After that, he would grind ladder like crazy to climb points, and before going to sleep at night, he still had to watch a few of ropz’s ladder demos.
He was extremely diligent.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Huang Zicheng also went out to get his takeout, leaving Yang Yu alone to continue training hard.
Yang Yu was especially motivated in today’s training, because today was already December 30th.
He had advanced the “B1T Headshot Talent” on December 1st. Today was exactly the 30th day.
He glanced at the mission prompt in the upper right corner.
[435/500]
He also turned off the music, settled his mind, and became serious.
As his attention became more focused, his kill efficiency in deathmatch became faster.
456……
467……
478……
499……
500……
As he secured the final headshot kill, Yang Yu let out a long breath, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He had finally persisted through this month of deathmatch training.
During this period, there had actually been some days when he had planned to give up on this deathmatch headshot training, but he had also been reluctant to abandon the benefits that the B1T Headshot Talent brought him on the ladder. Every day, he worked hard to PUA himself. Later on, after he had a goal in his heart, he gradually became self-disciplined.
