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

Chapter 184 What the audience wants is your attitude
"13-11! The game is over! Arrow secured a pentakill in the final wave, denying overtime and ending the match!"

"They also won the first Bo3 of the Swiss round with a score of 2-1!"

As the match ended, viewers watching the live stream offered their congratulations to LVG on their victory.

"Arrow deserves a lot of credit for LVG's victory today. To be honest, the Black Panther team performed well enough today, but there's nothing we can do. There's a god on the server."

"Moreover, apart from Arrow, the other members of LVG also performed very well. Although there were some mistakes in coordination and decision-making, they have done a good enough job compared to before."

Indeed, Xiao Zhe deserves half the credit for LVG's victory over Black Panther, while the other four players and the coach contribute the other half.

It's really tough. You can tell LVG has been training hard lately; they've made far fewer mind-blowing plays.

[When Xiao Zhe won against NIP and G2 before, I simply thought he was strong. Now that the entire LVG team is winning, it feels a bit different.]

[It is our inescapable duty to rebuild the glory of CNCS! (crying)]

Xiao Zhe is also exhausted from the C-section today; he'll probably need at least 12 hours of sleep tonight.

[Damn it, why isn't the data coming out yet?! What are you doing?!]

【.】

The player was still basking in the afterglow of winning the game. After seeing the reminder in the chat, he didn't waste any more words and directly opened HLTV's post-match data.

Even though it was expected, when the players and viewers saw the final match data, they couldn't help but give the highest praise from CSGO players.

"what?"

Figure 1 shows a rating of 1.92, while Figure 3 shows a rating that jumped directly to 2.38!

The only one that lost, the second map, Death Amusement Park, was rather unremarkable, with a rating of only 1.01, but overall it was still too exaggerated.

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[Is this for frying fish? You can't even fry fish to get this many results!]

LVG's victory over Black Panther today was entirely due to Xiao Zhe carrying the team!

With a rating of 2.38, even if I were to play a game with a score of D+ in the thousand-point round, I might not be able to achieve the same result as an S in my dissertation defense.

From this perspective, Black Panther's loss was indeed not unjust.

The outrageous and absurd data immediately sparked a heated discussion among the viewers in the live stream.

Meanwhile, at the match venue, the LVG players had already taken off their headphones and stood up to cheer.

The instant the match ended, Jee jumped up from his chair excitedly: "Hahaha! We won!"

As he spoke, he turned around and gave Su Zhe a big hug, shouting, "God A! You're awesome! Is this what it feels like to ride in a trailer?"

Even though Su Zhe often heard his teammates praising him, he still found Jee's performance somewhat amusing and frustrating.

Fortunately, after Jee shouted a couple of times, she turned around and hugged her teammates.

Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was also one of excitement.

If he had won against Black Panthers in G2, he probably wouldn't have experienced much emotional fluctuation; at most, he would have felt the joy of winning the game.

However, the difference in the perception between winning a match against a stronger opponent in one's own country's native language team and winning a match is still quite significant.

But he was really mentally exhausted. Many times, seeing his teammates' impatient actions, he almost lost his temper, but in the end he managed to hold back.

After the cheers and celebrations, the pressure and excitement of the match were released. Led by GUM, the group then proceeded to shake hands with the Black Panther players. The Black Panther players clearly hadn't expected to lose their very first match in the qualifiers, especially against the weakest CN team.

They all sat in their chairs with their heads drooping, silently tidying up their peripherals.

However, they still showed the enthusiasm of Brazilians, smiling as they greeted the LVG members who approached to shake hands.

"I've heard about you before, but I never expected you to come back to your own country to compete," the godfather said with a smile, shaking Su Zhe's hand.

When Su Zhe saw the godfather in front of him, he didn't say that he had only temporarily returned to the country to participate in the competition, but instead smiled and said, "I didn't expect this myself."

He had heard about the career of the Brazilian godfather in front of him and was filled with admiration for him.

FalleN holds a position in the eyes of Brazilians equivalent to, or even higher than, Li Xiaofeng in China, and was also the architect of the Brazilian dynasty.

FalleN was a professional CS1.6 player in his early years, but was later forced to switch to becoming a professional CF player.

When he officially switched to CSGO, he couldn't even afford a hotel to stay in for the competitions and had to sleep in the hallway. The travel expenses for the competitions were raised by community players and other professional players.

Despite these arduous conditions, he won two Major championships in 2016.

However, time flies. The two-time Top 1 Cold God is now 30 years old, and the Godfather has entered the twilight of his career.

"This road won't be easy, keep going." After saying this last sentence, the Godfather released Su Zhe's hand.

Su Zhe didn't say anything more, nodded politely, and then walked to the next contestant.

After the handshake ceremony, the LVG players returned to their benches to pack up their belongings and chatted about the upcoming matches.

"Hopefully, our next opponent will be weaker. Facing Black Panther right from the start is really tough." After the initial excitement, Jee also felt a bit of lingering fear.

Among the teams in the qualifying rounds, the Black Panther team may not be the strongest, but they certainly have a high probability of advancing to the main tournament.

Moreover, although they won the game, the process was quite tortuous, and they were almost dragged into overtime by the Black Panthers.

If Chang Tong loses the match, his mentality will definitely be affected in the following matches.

Su Zhe said with a smile, "Don't take any chances. In my experience, the next opponents may be even stronger."

This isn't a matter of superstition. If you beat the Black Panthers and get into a 1-0 group, the opponent you face will definitely also be 1-0, and the probability of facing a strong team will only be greater.

When he played in the Copenhagen Major at NIP, the opponents he faced in the Swiss rounds were all top-tier teams like Mongolia, X Team, and C9.

The more you win, the stronger the teams you'll encounter; that's inevitable.

The other members of LVG felt immense pressure upon hearing the conversation between the two.

In fact, most of the pressure came from Su Zhe.

If it were the previous lineup, losing wouldn't have mattered. Most domestic viewers didn't have high hopes for them anyway, and their attitude was, "Let's take it one step at a time, just do our best, and every win is a bonus."

But now with the addition of Su Zhe, a player who has won an S-level tournament and MVP award!
Domestic players have raised their expectations to the highest level. If this ends in a hasty conclusion, they will face a huge backlash.

They might even drag Su Zhe down with them and get criticized. Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?

Su Zhe sensed the change in the team's atmosphere and said with a smile, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. What the domestic audience wants is our attitude towards the game."

"Losing a game is not terrible. The important thing is to do your best. Whether it was before or after the game, go back and review today's game carefully."
