Until the last minute before the end of the game, no one expected that STE. and Young, who had just sat on the starting list this season, performed smoothly like most of the PEL players, occasionally had bright spots, but were not enough to stand out from nearly 100 people, and could complete the "greatest lone wolf performance in PEL history".
"Until I stood on the podium, I was still a little confused, like a dream, a little dreamy." Recalling that game with Young so far will still create a sense of unreality.
STE with a cup
But it was also this earth-shattering game that allowed him to complete the transformation from a young novice, on December 24, the 2021 PMGC Global Finals Eastern League finals ended successfully, the STE team successfully advanced to the finals stage with a seventh place, and Young set the farthest elimination record with a score of 448M, and won the title of "Hawkeye" in the Eastern Division.
The extreme one wear six to win the PEL championship, for Yo Yang, is just the beginning, his footsteps are still moving to a higher stage.
Seize the opportunity in the face of adversity
Early contact with young in the Peace Elite project, he was one of the first players. A teenager with a professional dream, when he realized that his strength was not bad, he took the initiative to contact the club to participate in the trial training, and became a professional player after successfully passing.
From the STE's youth training, playing to the second team, and then entering the first team, it took nearly a year with Young. In April 2021, he finally got his starting chance and took to the PEL stage.
"It was very exciting, it was my first offline game." For his first game at PEL, he was not satisfied with Young, "The first time I was a little confused, and it was still very difficult to relax after the game."
The gap in strength with the top players made Yo Yang clearly realize his shortcomings, and he calmed down and practiced harder. Time slowly moved into the S4 season, and he finally sat in the starting lineup and became the regular main player of the STE team.
Match with Jan
Throughout the season, with Young and his teammates working towards the championship, three experienced teammates helped young to improve quickly during off-court training; on the field, they gave young the greatest trust, even in the most critical moments.
At the start of the final innings of the S4 Finals, STE trailed TC teams by two points and finished second. STE, who could only venture to choose Y City because of the route, encountered the TC team again in the process of moving west, and it was this encounter that made a serious mistake with Young. He was supposed to leave the TC team from the fake garage with his teammates, but he did not keep up with his teammates in time, resulting in all three of his teammates falling to the ground in the process of fighting with TC.
At this time, the TC team still has 3 players left with 216 points, while the STE only has 209 points with Young, which is in an absolute disadvantage.
"I didn't see a car downstairs, it was too late when I found it, and my teammates were in a state of falling to the ground." Suddenly entering a disadvantageous situation, Yang's mentality has changed a lot, "I am very remorseful, and my heart is a little desperate." It was my teammates who kept encouraging me and saying they believed me. ”
Punching with teammates with Jan (first from left)
Stay in the fake garage and fight young alone with the encouragement of his teammates. He first prejudged the position when the TC group rushed up, threw a thunderbolt in the front and blew down one person, and then reflexively rushed to the roof to eliminate the TC three people in succession to complete the counter-killing.
"At that time, I was left alone in the team, and I could play as much as I could, just try my best." With a lonely heart and Courage, He Yang found a life in a desperate situation, but the situation was still not optimistic at this time, there were still three people left in the PAI team on the field, and Yang could only win the championship and lead the team to the global finals if he continued to defeat these three people to eat chicken.
After taking the lead in knocking down the first player of the PAI team to rush the building, Yoon did not retreat and chose to make up the gun. The knocked-out player stuck his teammates under the stairs, and let Yo Yang seize the opportunity again.
"At that time I wanted to make up one first, and it happened that he got stuck with the person who was going up the stairs behind him, and I hit the second one. The third one came, and I couldn't see it, so I was forced to hit the third one. It was in such a dramatic scene that he killed three more people with Yang Limit and completed the feat of flipping through six adversities.
"It's better luck, a bit of a fluke." He Yang still feels a palpitation, but this wonderful operation, which was rated by netizens as "the greatest lone wolf performance in the history of PEL", has become a classic scene of PEL.
"Esports, food is the original sin"
When Yo yang stood on the podium, he was still ignorant, "Just like a dream, there is a little dream." It wasn't until the evening back at the club that someone shouted "We are champions!" "With Young Cai began to truly accept the fact of winning the championship.
Interviewed with Young after winning the championship
After the game, he received praise from everyone and Yang was very happy, and the feeling of being recognized made him very satisfied. In particular, Ben's family, who did not support him to become a professional e-sports player, also began to pay attention to his performance in the world championships.
"Brother Yang" and "Yang Shen" became his new titles in the team, but Yang felt that he was not as strong as everyone boasted, "I am still a little afraid, if I had not played the ending, it would be different." Mainly because my position advantage is better, plus the opposite side also gave the opportunity, I also grasped it. ”
The attention of his overnight fame did not affect him much, he still lived and trained as usual, only in the PMGC World Championships, his performance became more and more exciting.
During the four-week competition, He Yang won the key points for the team many times, and on the first day of the Eastern Division League final, he set a record with the farthest elimination distance of 448M and won the title of "Hawkeye" in the Eastern Division.
With Young won the title of "Hawkeye" in the Eastern Division
The experience of winning the S4 is not only a championship trophy for Yoyon, but more importantly, the awareness of the arena is stimulated.
On December 24, after all the Eastern Division League finals were over, STE confirmed the qualification for the finals, "The last one is the rhythm we are familiar with, and like the last game of S4, it is behind others." "With S4's counterattack experience, with Young and his teammates in the face of the counter-trend, the mentality is more stable, the play is more stable.
Looking back on his career as a PEL player this year, Yang's biggest feeling is, "E-sports, food is the original sin." ”
From an obscure substitute to an overnight fame to become a "Yang God", Yang always keeps his mind clear. He deeply understands the importance of strength on the PEL stage, and only hard work will be rewarded. PEL's victory is just the beginning, and then Young will continue to attack the world championship.
"Everyone's dream may be difficult, but I will definitely redouble my efforts to fight for that world championship!"
Unlike other e-sports events, the Peace Elite PEL Pro League has up to 15 teams competing on the same stage and up to 60 players per game, with an average of about half an hour per game, and if there is no exciting operation, the players may not even have the opportunity to appear.
It's a brutal stage, but it's also a fair stage. This year's PEL stage was changed to a bottom-up ladder, with teams sitting in order of points ranking from front to back, and there is no doubt that the teams in the front row can gain more fan attention.
It is on this stage that STE. and Yang seized the opportunity to play a six-through anti-heaven operation and earned themselves enough eyeballs; at the same time, on this stage, yang realized the truth and cruelty of e-sports, and understood that strength is the capital to speak. Although he was slightly shy and did not say much in the conversation with People's Esports, as long as he mentioned the content related to the game, he would immediately get excited.
This is a young man with a young face and a fire on the inside, who clearly understands the goals he pursues and will not be lost by temporary success. Extreme one wear six to win the PEL championship, for Young is just the beginning, maintain the level of competition, a stable mentality to continue to move forward, his career path has just embarked on the right track, the future is still infinitely waiting for him.
