CS: Demon King C, you said I was a genius?

Chapter 163 The House Collapsed

The lights were flashing and the crowd was buzzing.

G2 was also having a great time chatting in such an environment, with everyone excitedly talking about their operations and understanding of the game just now.

An expression of joy was on each of their faces.

It was only with Taz's reminder that everyone remembered that there would be a handshake session next.

So everyone gathered their composure and walked out of the battle room, heading towards the opponent's seat.

When Su Zhe walked to the front of the stage again, the cheers from the audience in the venue became louder.

But at this time, he no longer had the nervousness he had when he stepped onto the stage a few hours ago. His heart was filled with residual excitement and joy after winning.

The cameraman's camera gradually moved to the A team's player seat along with the high-spirited G2 players.

Unlike the G2 players who were cheering and celebrating, the players in Team A's seats all hung their heads and remained silent.

We made it all the way to the semi-finals, and even experienced the pressure of falling into the loser group. In the end, we were eliminated without even seeing the championship trophy. Naturally, we felt very unwilling.

At this time, several minutes had passed since the end of the game. br0, who had just lost the endgame, still had a face full of self-blame, as if wearing a mask of pain.

He blamed himself for not searching the small dark room faster when he entered it. If he had turned around earlier, the game might have already entered overtime...

Maybe there will be a match like the one in Figure 3...

Maybe they will be qualified to step onto the finals stage and win the championship tomorrow...

Before he could get over the defeat in the final game, several G2 players had already restrained their smiles and walked towards them to shake hands.

br0 hurriedly took off his headphones, stood up, and shook hands with the Chinese boy in front of him.

"So young..."

This was br0's first reaction.

In the noisy environment, he couldn't even hear what the boy opposite him said. He just nodded and smiled subconsciously out of politeness.

By the time he reacted, the other party had already let go and walked towards another teammate.

Looking at the other party's smug look, br0 felt a little envious and inferior.

"Why can others easily join top-tier teams and compete for the championship at the age of 18?"

"I also debuted at the age of 18, but I had to struggle for several years in second- and third-tier teams, and still don't have a championship of my own."

br0 felt a little confused. Could it be that the gap between people is sometimes really greater than the gap between people and dogs?

It wasn't until the kid came over, smiled humbly at him, and said, "Well played. I hope we have a chance to play against each other next time" that br0 came to his senses.

He looked at the equally young child, and his mind was filled with thoughts again.

"The kid joined G16 at the age of 2 and won the honor of Top 7 player in the same year."

The huge gap made br0's inferiority complex suddenly disappear. After shaking hands with his cousin and nexa, the depression in his heart gradually disappeared.

"Although I'm not as talented as those guys, I'm not bad either. I was able to join a top team at the age of 21."

"I've already surpassed most people. Keep going! I'm sure I'll be able to win the championship someday!"

br0's heart was suddenly filled with fighting spirit, and he began to take the initiative to comfort his teammates around him.

……

Su Zhe didn't know that his appearance had caused a professional "veteran" to have a psychological struggle.

At this time, he had just returned to his player seat, packing up his peripherals while chatting with his teammates about the upcoming schedule.

Nexa suddenly asked, "Who are our opponents tomorrow? I forgot who made it to the semifinals from the other group."

Taz was sitting in the coaching chair at the back, waiting for everyone to finish. After hearing what Nexa said, he casually replied, "It's Mouz and Faze, but the results haven't come out yet. Their match is tonight."

Their G2 game is at pm this afternoon, while Mouz and Faze's game will be around pm.

My cousin beside me said, "Mouz and Faze? I hope Mouz wins."

Both teams are also the favorites to win this tournament, but teams like Faze are a bit of an oddity.

When they were in poor form, they even lost to NIP, where Su Zhe was, in a Major event some time ago.

When it is in good shape, it is like the roar of a galactic battleship, and whoever touches it will die. After all, there are too many concept-level players among them.

For example, the Rain God who started practicing shooting... Ropz who doesn't drive a 911...

In comparison, if their opponent tomorrow is Mouz, their chances of winning the championship will obviously be much greater.

Moreover, just a few days ago, they easily defeated Mouz and were more experienced in dealing with him.

But when he said this, my cousin couldn't help laughing.

Mouz's record of defeating Faze dates back to September last year when CS2 was not yet released.

The encounter between the "home team" and the "youth training team" is truly like a mouse meeting a cat.

NIko smiled and said, "It would be nice to meet Faze. We can even chat during breaks in the game."

When Su Zhe was about to say something, a staff member from the event suddenly came over and politely asked him if he could do a brief interview.

Su Zhe glanced at his teammates. Before he could say anything, Taz stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead. I'll help you pack. We'll wait for you in the lounge later."

The competition was over at this time, but the audience had no intention of leaving. When they saw Su Zhe walk back to the front of the stage, they cheered again.

Su Zhe smiled and waved to the audience, then walked to the male host.

"Congratulations, Arrow. You just won the game against Team A. How are you feeling now?"

Seeing the microphone handed to him, Su Zhe organized his words in his mind and at the same time gathered his emotions.

It’s one thing to not be nervous in front of an audience, but it’s another to speak in front of one.

This feeling reminded him of the time when he stayed up all night in high school, was caught by the dormitory supervisor, and finally stood in front of all the teachers and students in the school to read a letter of apology during the flag-raising ceremony.

He tried his best to imagine the audience was empty and replied calmly in Chinese:
"Of course I'm happy. After all, tomorrow will be my first time stepping onto the finals stage. I'm filled with anticipation."

The male host nodded after hearing the answer and continued to ask:
"Your opponent tomorrow could be Faze or Mouz. If possible, who would you prefer to be your opponent in tomorrow's finals?"

Su Zhe paused, then replied in a joking tone: "I feel the same, because both teams have lost to me before."

This statement caused an uproar among the audience below the stage.

This statement may not make sense at first, but upon closer inspection it seems a bit too arrogant. Doesn't this clearly mean that no matter who the opponent is tomorrow, they are confident of winning the championship?
The host couldn't help laughing, and was obviously very satisfied with such a controversial answer, so he continued,

"In today's Bo3, you easily defeated Team A 2-0, but it can also be seen that you had a difficult time playing in Map ."

"So, Arrow, who do you think was the key player in helping the team win today? Or who will be the MVP of this Bo3?"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Su Zhe could open his mouth to answer, the audience cheered and announced the result.

Su Zhe turned his head and took a look. It turned out that the big LED screen on the stage was already showing his final photo with his hands on his chest.

Still as handsome as ever, with a hint of self-confidence and dominance.

Next to it is his match data in this Bo3.

Even though it was expected, the exaggerated data on the screen still made the audience exclaim in surprise.

KAD: 39-10-25
Rating: 1.54
The ADR is as high as 107.6!

Although it seems that the data is much worse than that of Donk, the Green Dragon next door, this is G2, which already has two star players!
The resources obtained in the game are not on the same level. The entire Green Dragon team revolves around Donk alone.

Moreover, Niko and the kid were ranked top 2 and top 4 last year respectively.

It is already an exaggerated thing to be able to win the MVP in a team like G2.

"So handsome!"

In the LVG club, Jee looked at the live broadcast on the screen, his face full of envy and jealousy.

How cool it would be to be able to stand on the stage of a stadium with tens of thousands of people offline and be interviewed alone!

jee put himself into Su Zhe's perspective and instantly felt goosebumps all over his body.

But soon, the cruelty of reality made him calm down.

As a domestic team, LVG naturally also participated in the IEM Chengdu competition.

I thought that after competing with many international teams in the Copenhagen Major, the overall strength of my team would be greatly improved.

Not to mention making it to the knockout stage, at least we can win over a few more teams from other regions to gain some glory, right?

But the result is exactly the opposite.

In the first round of the competition, they were directly sent into the loser group by the Black Panther team with a score of 13-9.

After entering the loser group, they only won one game and were sent home by Liquid, who also fell into the loser group.

The only match they won was against the Tianlu team led by 259.
Thinking of this, Jee felt inexplicably angry and turned to look at Sanye who was sitting behind him.

As expected, Sanye started his Douyin live broadcast again, shouting something like "Brothers, give it a like and you can get a Porsche!"

He can understand Quanmi's feelings, but can't he learn from the veterans and wait until he retires before live streaming Quanmi?

With this mentality, how can you possibly play a good game?!

Thinking of this, Jee couldn't suppress his anger and knocked hard on the back of Sanye's chair.

Sanye took off her headphones belatedly and looked back, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Jee was a little embarrassed to express his true thoughts, so he could only say in a more tactful way: "Can you please stop live streaming? It's a bit too noisy."

Sanye responded: "Isn't it time to rest now? Let's do a live broadcast to relax. Do you want to duo queue with me? Oh ~ Why isn't this picture of Sha Er online yet?"

"..."

jee was also annoyed by this remark. Why is it rest time now? Doesn’t he have any idea?
But he didn't say much, so he walked to the balcony of the training room to get some fresh air and relieve his emotions.

When he came to the balcony, he saw the team leader Xigua also lying on the railing, but he looked a little strange, looking at the phone in his hand with a sad face.

Jee smiled, put his arm on Xigua's shoulder and joked:
"Do you know what the domestic players are calling you now? Hahaha! They call you CNCS's karrigan! You've really made it!"

After hearing this, Xigua's mouth curled up, but soon his sad expression returned to normal.

Seeing this, jee was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you? You look so sad. Who lent you money and didn't pay it back? I'm thick-skinned and can help you get it back."

Xigua curled his lips and handed over the phone.

Jee took the phone, his eyes widened instantly, and he asked in disbelief, "Is this true?"

Xigua nodded helplessly: "Of course it's true, it's all confirmed, and he was also secretly duo-queuing with that person."

Jee glanced at his phone again, and the voice of the video on the phone slowly came:

"LVG's z4kr player was offline in Chengdu, helping the unscrupulous artist pg1 get Niko's autograph..."

"The pace is getting faster now! What does the club say? We are about to play in the EPL qualifiers! It won't be affected, right?" jee asked hurriedly.

There are already few international competitions that domestic teams can participate in, and even fewer domestic competitions.

If they had not qualified for the EPL19 event, they could have entered the off-season early.

Xigua shook his head. "I guess they don't know yet. I just saw it, and the video was released not long ago..."

Jee quickly took Xigua's arm and said, "Why are you waiting? Go ask the coach!"

As he spoke, Jee pulled Xigua's arm and walked towards the office next door.

As the head coach of LVG, Gum is not only responsible for the game, but also for the daily life of the players.

Moreover, he has a good relationship with the boss Jeff and usually has a lot of say in the team.

At this time, he was in the coach's office looking at the precautions and schedule for participating in the EPL qualifiers. When he saw Jee and Xigua pushing the door in, he gave them a puzzled look.

He asked, "Have you completed the training task I assigned today?"

"Uh, not yet. I just finished a phase of training and am taking a break."

"What are you mumbling about?" Jee interrupted Xigua and handed the video content directly to him.

Gum's originally good mood got worse and worse as the video progressed.

The video content is very short, and Gum has already made a judgment on the authenticity of the content after watching it.

He had advised Sanye to stay away from that person before, although professional players pay more attention to their personal strength.

But in essence, they are public figures, and it is easy for their reputation to collapse if they cause any negative impact.

He thought for a few seconds before returning the phone and said in a deep voice, "You guys go back and continue training. I'll go talk to the boss..."
