Pei Feng and Jiang Shaoyu defeated South Korea’s Kim Minho and Kim Minji with a score of 2:0. They took the lead in earning two points.
In the next group stage, the master and apprentice met the US team’s Venus and Simil combination. Venus was once recognized as the strongest sniper in the world, and Simil was a scout with excellent awareness. The two of them had a good relationship in private. They often played ranking games together, and their cooperation was very tacit.
After watching the match between the master-apprentice pair and the Korean brothers, Venus adopted a ‘2 against 1’ strategy.
He wanted to kill either Fred or Wing first before taking care of the other one.
Simil was responsible for searching for the opponent’s location while Venus was responsible for long-range firepower support. They would kill anyone they saw. What they didn’t expect was that Pei Feng and Jiang Shaoyu actually adopted the same strategy. Pei Feng was responsible for searching for the enemy’s position and Jiang Shaoyu was responsible for long-range sniping.
In this way, the two sides had exactly the same style of play. They had to compete in speed.
At the corner of a building, Pei Feng and Simil found each other while scouting at the same time. Immediately afterward, gunshots rang out from tall buildings in the distance.
[‘-Wing’ has used the MSG to kill ‘USA-Simil’ with a headshot!]
[’USA-Venus’ has hit ‘-Fred’ with the AWM-Judgment.]
Jiang Shaoyu’s attack speed was 0.1 seconds faster than Venus. He accurately killed the enemy scout in seconds. However, Pei Feng used a ‘flashing back’ operation at the critical moment and hid behind a building. The bullets of the sniper on the other side grazed his shoulder, wounding him but not killing him.
The US team originally wanted to kill one person first using the 2 against 1 style, but the master and apprentice pair killed one person instead.
Venus was forced to face a 1V2 situation. He was eventually double-teamed by Pei Feng and Jiang Shaoyu, and they jointly killed him.
The second small game was Pei Feng and Jiang Shaoyu’s home map. The two of them chose Yuehu Park with a complex terrain. They used the double free person style, moving back and forth to cover each other. Simil and Venus were dragged into a battle of attrition. They eventually died helplessly under the guns of the master and apprentice.
Looking at the gray screen, Venus sighed and said, “Probably only an AI can beat this master and apprentice.”
Simil’s face was full of surprise. “There are almost no mistakes in marksmanship. How did they do it?”
Venus sighed. “Both of them are talented. In addition, they must train very hard!”
Players who could play e-sports were all talented, but based on talent alone, they would soon be surpassed by rising stars. Many reactions on the field were actually based on the accumulation of daily training. Jiang Shaoyu and Pei Feng were undoubtedly talented players, but they must’ve worked very hard during private training to maintain such terrifying shooting accuracy.
In particular, Jiang Shaoyu had been retired for so many years but was able to maintain such strong competitive strength. It was really surprising and admirable.
Behind the superficial scenery was actually his hard training of several years.
Most retired players didn’t have the determination and patience to do basic exercises over and over again. Boring practice was actually a type of torture, yet Jiang Shaoyu could actually do it? It was no wonder that the Chinese national team took on a new look under his leadership.
After the match, Venus and Simil took the initiative to walk to the middle of the stage and shook hands with Jiang Shaoyu and Pei Feng.
Venus smiled. “You are very strong. I hope you win the All-Stars Championship.”
Simil added, “I want to be friends with the two of you. I hope to have an opportunity to play together on the international server in the future. Is it possible?”
Jiang Shaoyu nodded. “Of course.”
They took the initiative to request to be friends with Jiang Shaoyu, which was enough to prove that Jiang Shaoyu’s strength had been recognized by these players.
In the third match of the afternoon, Jiang Shaoyu and Pei Feng faced the German team’s close combat combination of Kaiser and Miller and didn’t give them the chance to struggle. They simply defeated the opponents with a score of 2:0.
The first day of the group stage was over.
The combination of Wing and Fred reached the semi-finals with three consecutive scores of 2:0. They ranked first in the group.
Compared to the ‘nightmare mode’ of Group A, the matches in Group B were much milder. In the end, the first group was a pair of assaulter + medic from Italy. The second in the group was a sniper + charger combination from France.
In the next semi-finals, the two of them would face the second place of Group B.
The match was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day. The French pair was far inferior to their opponents in Group A. Jiang Shaoyu and Pei Feng won very easily.
Domestic audience members became more and more excited as they watched. “The master and apprentice pair have indeed made it to the finals!”
“The devil master and apprentice. Who can stop these bosses?”
“Won’t they win the championship with a complete victory record?”
So far, everyone was no longer concerned about whether Pei Feng and Jiang Shaoyu would win the championship or not.
They just wondered if they would win with a complete victory and no losses.
The master and apprentice pair defeated the ace combinations of South Korea, the United States, and Germany in the group stage. Then they defeated the French combination in the semi-finals. In the finals, they met Jason and Nico from Italy. The former was the captain of the Italian national team and an ace assaulter. The latter was Italy’s most popular star medic.
An assaulter + medic. This combination was more difficult to fight. The medic could use the bulletproof light panel to block the opponent’s attack, and charge with the assaulter in close combat. The medic could also let the assaulter go to fight and hide to find a way to save people.
The first game was Italy’s home map. They chose the simplest ‘Winding Corridor’ map.
After seeing the map selected by the enemy, Pei Feng brought a submachine gun in this game and his playing style was more violent.
Jiang Shaoyu brought an AK, a pistol, and smoke bombs.
Jason’s idea was very simple. Fighting a battle of attrition with this master and apprentice pair? It was impossible to win. The two men’s ability to control complex terrain was second to none in the world. Therefore, the only way to win was to fight quickly and try his luck.
On a simple and crude map like Winding Corridor, The two sides refreshed on the diagonal. The left and right sides had two choices. Sometimes, if they were lucky enough to choose the right one, they could go behind the opponent. It was also possible to kill the opponent in seconds with a wave of attacks.
After the start of the game, the pair from Italy moved forward in a group, but Jiang Shaoyu and Pei Feng acted separately on the left and right.
The audience stared nervously at the big screen. The moment the two sides met at a corner of the corridor, Jason raised his AK and fired!
Jiang Shaoyu wasn’t afraid of his violent suppression. He used the corner of the corridor as a cover to drift back and forth while firing. The bullets he fired moved in beautiful curves, covering the opponent’s position like a dragon swinging its tail. He forced Jason to retreat!
God Wing was famous as a sniper, but he was also merciless in melee fighting.
Jason couldn’t fight him. He lost health and retreated around the corner. The medic stepped forward to increase his health and set up the bulletproof light panel.
Jiang Shaoyu only had around 30% of his health left. Jason emerged from behind the bulletproof light panel and wanted to kill Jiang Shaoyu in one go. At this moment, Pei Feng arrived at the scene in time from another route. The moment the master and apprentice met, countless bullets rained down like torrential rain!
[’ITA-Jason’ killed ‘-Wing’ with the AK-47-Ice Flame.]
Jiang Shaoyu already had low health and failed to resist the opponent’s attack. He fell in a pool of blood.
Immediately afterward, two kill notifications flooded the screen.
[’-Fred’ killed ‘ITA-Jason’ with the Thomson-Flames.]
[’-Fred’ killed ‘ITA-Nico’ with the Thomson-Flames.]
The death of the master was exchanged for the apprentice’s double kill.
In this wave, Jiang Shaoyu originally risked his life to take the lead and give Xiao Pei a chance.
He believed that Xiao Pei wouldn’t let him die in vain.
Seeing Pei Feng’s neat double kills, Jiang Shaoyu smiled and said, “Not bad.”
Pei Feng was praised and smiled broadly. “Hehe, it is rare for Master to praise me.”
Jiang Shaoyu said calmly, “Continue in the next game and play well.’
The second game was their home map. Jiang Shaoyu chose the difficult map, Rainy Night.
This time, the master and apprentice directly launched the double sniper lineup. Pei Feng took out his best heavy sniper rifle, the Balot, and Jiang Shaoyu brought his favorite light sniper rifle, the MSG. The two of them were hunters in the dark, rainy night. The two Italian players couldn’t find where they were at all.
The sound of torrential rain shattered the silence of the night. The snipers hidden in the darkness made the whole map feel dangerous.
The heavy rain covered up the footsteps of the two people. Only the audience from a god’s perspective could see clearly that Pei Feng and Jiang Shaoyu were using the ‘diagonal movement method’ in this game. One of them walked clockwise, and the other counterclockwise. They always maintained a distance where they could support each other at any time.
Pei Feng could see behind Jiang Shaoyu.
Jiang Shaoyu could also protect Pei Feng’s back.
In this way, the entire map could be searched in the shortest possible time.
Suddenly, Pei Feng made a mark on the map. He saw the figures of the two Italian players with the 8x scope.
The two Italian players wanted to use the method of ‘waiting for the rabbit’ to hide in a corner and wait for Pei Feng and Jiang Shaoyu to appear to carry out a sneak attack.
It was a pity that Pei Feng knew everything about the hiding spots on this map. It didn’t take long for him to discover their location.
“Master, come over,” Pei Feng said with a smile.
“Okay.” Jiang Shaoyu calmly opened the scope of his rifle. He picked the light sniper rifle suitable for mobile warfare and quickly entered into the night.
The master and apprentice, one on the left and the other on the right, went to the hiding place of the Italian team.
Jason noticed the mixed footsteps in the rainstorm and knew that someone was approaching. He immediately raised the AK nervously.
The moment when Jiang Shaoyu appeared under the lights at the intersection, Jason decisively shot.
However, the dull gunfire of the heavy sniper rifle suddenly sounded behind him.
The medic hurriedly raised the bulletproof light panel, blocking Pei Feng’s first shot. However, Pei Feng fired very quickly, and the second shot came again. The two bullets fired at the same position and instantly pierced the bulletproof light panel.
On the other side, Jiang Shaoyu also jumped out and pulled the trigger.
The moment Pei Feng pierced through the bulletproof light panel, Jiang Shaoyu killed the Italian medic with one shot!
Immediately afterward, Pei Feng’s bullet came from a distance and killed Jason with a headshot.
‘Whenever you kill, I will kill.’ The tacit understanding between the two of them meant they didn’t need to communicate with words.
The four consecutive bullets fired by the two snipers seemed to have been programmed long ago and were almost seamless.
This type of cooperation could probably only be done by intelligent AI, right?
The Italian players collapsed in a pool of blood. Pei Feng and Jiang Shaoyu stood up one after another in the dark, rainy night. They were like two calm killers playing a hunting game. Any enemy’s struggle in front of them would become futile.
This terrible master-apprentice combination actually won the All-Stars doubles competition with a complete victory record!
There was deafening applause at the venue.
The barrage in the live stream room became even more dense.
[It is awesome!]
[The boss duo is simply handsome!]
[Woo woo woo, how can the two of them have such a tacit understanding? One person kills the other. It is like calculated decisions!]
[Today is another day of emotional excitement for the master and apprentice!]
[The doubles champions are awesome! Fred and Wing are the strongest!]
In the soundproof room, Pei Feng took off his headphones and turned his head just in time to meet Jiang Shaoyu’s gaze.
Jiang Shaoyu, who had always been indifferent, had a rare gentle look in his eyes. It was obvious that he was in a good mood at this moment.
Pei Feng unceremoniously stretched out his arms and hugged his master tightly.
Jiang Shaoyu didn’t struggle and reached out to hug him back gently. After receiving the response, Pei Feng tightened his embrace even more forcefully. He resisted the urge to kiss his master in front of the world audience and just said excitedly, “We are the champions of the doubles competition! I am the only person who is worthy of Master and can stand side by side with Master!”
Listening to his proud tone, Jiang Shaoyu’s heart softened slightly. He whispered, “Yes, it is just you.”
They stood side by side on the podium as the All-Stars doubles winners.
They were the ones who knew each other best.
Being able to keep up with each other’s ideas and cooperate tacitly. This type of understanding was something that others simply couldn’t achieve.
At this moment, being held tightly in Pei Feng’s arms, Jiang Shaoyu realized that unknowingly, Xiao Pei had already entered his heart.
Pei Feng walked to the most important position.
Pei Feng became his exception, someone unique and irreplaceable.
