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

Chapter 201 "Huh?"

Monday, April 29, 2024
Under a clear blue sky, the island nation's surrounding waters shimmered in the sunlight, making the scenery of this small country even more enchanting.

The LVG team had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery; they arrived at the competition venue early to prepare.

After losing to Faze yesterday, they have fallen to a 0-1 group, and today's opponent is even more difficult, namely NAVI, who won the Major championship not long ago.

If we compare the world team rankings, FaZe has undoubtedly been number one in recent months, given their numerous runner-up titles.

However, rankings are only one of the standards for measuring a team's strength, and NAVI now looks significantly more formidable.

So when they learned that their opponent in the second round was NAVI, the pressure on the LVG team instantly increased.

CNCS challenging the Major champion? Just thinking about it makes me feel like I'll lose with honor.

"NAVI is no good at all! How could they lose to Eternal Flame?! Damn it, are they just trying to make things difficult for us? Did we accidentally threaten someone's interests?"

Jee was warming up while muttering complaints under his breath.

Su Zhe couldn't help but smile when he heard this. It seemed that although everyone was under a lot of pressure, they hadn't lost their desire to take on the challenge, and that was enough.

Watermelon rolled her eyes at Jee, then said, "It's okay. The fact that they lost in a best-of-three series means that their team is still in poor form. They're probably like Little Bees, who haven't been training much during their recent vacation."

"Let's cheer each other on, maybe we can really take down the Major champion team! And we've done a lot of preparation."

After hearing this, everyone's mood improved slightly.

After winning the Paris Major last year and taking a break, the team's form has been off, and they have been eliminated early in the group stage of several consecutive tournaments.

NAVI has also taken a long break after the Major, which is why they haven't participated in any tournaments recently.

If we follow the template of the little bee, there might actually be hope for an upset.

Jee chuckled and turned to Su Zhe, saying, "God A, I heard that little punk JL mocked you the other night? Don't worry, my sniper rifle will make him lose all his touch today!"

The night before last, Jee was quite drunk, and only learned about the verbal conflict between Su Zhe and JL from Xigua afterwards.

Su Zhe raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then I'll thank you in advance."

"Hey! Don't be so polite with me! It's only right!"

Su Zhe:
He then let out a long breath and focused his attention on the warm-up map.

If we were to say who is under the most pressure among the ten players on both teams right now, it would undoubtedly be him.

It's okay that LVG lost; in the eyes of other viewers, there's nothing shameful about losing.

But Su Zheguang was only thinking about the handshake after losing the match...

"We must find a way to win..."

During the warm-up, JL looked up at the audience below the stage.

Seeing that most of the people were holding signs supporting NAVI, and many of them even had their own IDs written on them, JL felt an extreme sense of satisfaction.

'Nobody ever imagined I'd have this day!'
He then waved to the audience below the stage, which immediately drew cheers.

"We're about to start the draft phase, stop playing for now," Little Li reminded him.

JL stopped what he was doing and laughed, "What's there to study about BP? Anyway, there aren't any maps we're not good at."

JL is right; NAVI does have a very deep map pool, and there aren't any maps that absolutely must be banned.

What's even more terrifying is that their win rate on all seven maps they're currently playing is over 50%!

Even the game with the lowest win rate, Nuka Crisis, has a win rate of 54.8%.

Little Li didn't say much after hearing this. He wasn't the kind of person to underestimate his opponents, but LVG's overall strength really didn't warrant his attention.

Aside from Arrow on the other side, who needs special attention, everyone else is far inferior to the NAVI team members from any angle.

The most important thing is that LVG's overall teamwork and control of the game's rhythm are like children playing house in front of Xiao Li Zi.

However, as the team's commander, he still responsibly reminded them: "Take the game seriously later, and don't forget how we lost to Eternal Flame yesterday."

"Yesterday was a bit of a break from playing in a long time, so I wasn't used to it. Don't worry, I'll carry today!" JL's expression was relaxed, but he looked very serious during the warm-up.

He recalled what Su Zhe had said to him the night before last and found it somewhat amusing.

'Ha, never beaten you even once? I finally caught you today.'
He was already anticipating the expression on his opponent's face during the post-match handshake.

……

The results from BP came out quickly.

The first image shows Anubis, which LVG actively selected.
Figure 2 shows the nuclear crisis that NAVI actively chose.
The third image shows the town of Purgatory.
Following the referee's instructions, both players entered the match server, and the match in Figure 1 officially began.

Map: Anubis

NAVI: Aleksib, iM, b1t, jL, w0nderful
LVG: Westmelon, Starry, jee, EmiliaQAQ, Arrow
LVG chose their map and started the round on the CT side.

Xigua began to deploy tactics: "Let's start with 4A. Jee, if you're going to go solo B, peek out outside the B gate at the start to make the enemy think we have more people at B. Xiaohua, you stay in the middle to provide early warning."

"The three of us will go to position ourselves in Hall A and set up our guns. If the enemy doesn't make any moves at the start, we'll take the initiative to push back."

It's a rather aggressive defensive style of play, but it's a tactic that Su Zhe and Xigua studied together yesterday.

To score points against an academically-oriented team like NAVI, sticking to the old ways will only lead to being slowly outplayed; only by being unconventional can you have a chance to fight back.

As the countdown ended, Su Zhe, following the plan, followed his teammates and headed towards Area A.

"Here it is! Today's main event! The match between LVG and NAVI! I'm your commentator, Ma Xixi."

"I'm the commentator, CaptainMo."

"I'm Assistant Asuka Haru~"

"who are you?"

[I'm commentator Keptomo]

[I am a professional gamer, Donkey Howling]

I am two cans of rice crust.

【.】

The live stream chat started flooded with comments, but Ma Xixi ignored them and, after checking the time with Mo, focused her attention on the match.

"This NAVI is just as I expected. They started with a default attack, but only bought one set of offensive items. It seems like they plan to gather information and then launch a full-scale attack."

"LVG gambled on the points, but after not seeing any movement from NAVI, they started pushing out of Hall A!"

"Oh no! IM's default positioning is a bit tricky! If we hadn't noticed, we might have lost several of our units!"

(IM's position ↓)

Not only Ma Xixi, but Mo was also somewhat apprehensive. They couldn't help it; they knew their own team's character best.

Although LVG has made significant changes in discipline recently, they have already made countless mistakes on this issue before!

"Oh! Starry's watching this spot! He guessed someone's here!"

Starry, in the first position, walked out of Hall A and found no one underwater or at the terrorist's jump site. With Su Zhe's reminder, he immediately aimed at the crates on his left and began searching for cover.

As he moved stealthily, he sensed that his crosshair was about to hit someone, so he pulled out with a wide horizontal shot. He was surprised to see the bandit crouching there in a sneaky manner.

Immediately following was the sound of a bullet piercing a head.

Su Zhe, who was setting up the bandit ladder behind him, reacted quickly and swung his crosshair sharply to the right.

Upon realizing their location had been compromised, and deciding to proactively seek out and eliminate the bandits, they quickly completed a secondary location re-establishment.

"Pfft~" [Arrow uses a USP to headshot and kill IM]

"That shot was pinpointed quickly! Arrow successfully finished off the enemy!"

After exclaiming in surprise, Masisi quickly began to analyze the situation on the field.

"But NAVI also knew that there were definitely more people on point A! They started by grouping up three people to cover the rear in the mid lane, preparing to gank point B!"

LVG's push forward was indeed a loss. The one-for-one kill was definitely a win for NAVI, and it also revealed their approximate defensive positioning to the opponent.

"This default offensive positioning is truly intricate and interconnected."

Su Zhe sighed inwardly, then abandoned any further thoughts of pushing forward. He and Xigua headed back to prepare to cover the B bomb site ahead of time.

"Is there any movement in the middle lane?" Xigua asked during the position switch.

Xiao Hua, standing inside Company A, glanced at the VIPs. Seeing no one, she was about to speak when she didn't expect that the three members of NAVI had already quietly slipped out of the middle door and approached.

Caught off guard, he was instantly targeted and fell to the ground.

"There are no three people left in the mid lane!!" Little Flower, who had just been eliminated, shouted in a hurry.

At this moment, Xigua had already reached the stage. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly hid behind the spiral staircase.

Su Zhe, taking advantage of the USP's long-range position, directly blocked the direction of A Company, preventing NAVI from suddenly making a big move towards B Company.

Xiao Li's initial intention was to join B Company, but after seeing that two players had already been eliminated at the A bomb site, he had a different idea.

"Give us a quick flash! We'll pounce! Bit, you go around from Hall A!"

Bit originally planned to go underwater to sneak into the dark room, but now that Hall A is nearby, it immediately agreed.

Su Zhe, who was stationed in Area A, waited for a while in Company A. He didn't see anyone, but he did see a small black dot fly out.

He immediately turned his back to dodge and walked towards the cover behind the pillar.

He circled around to the right of the pillar cover, and after seeing two bandits walk past below the stage, he quickly adjusted his position and pulled back. After confirming that the other side could not cross-attack him, he quickly swung his crosshair at them.

"Puff puff~"

Arrow used a USP to headshot and kill w0nderful.

After getting the kill, Su Zhe quickly glanced at the stage and, finding no one else coming out, moved to the right again to continue looking for kills.

As a result, several shots were fired but only hit his body, while his own USP magazine was already empty.

Seeing this, Su Zhe immediately retreated back to the pillar to reload, but then heard the bandits already close to the other side of the pillar.

Upon hearing the reload sound, JL, who was close to the pillar, was overjoyed and quickly went around to finish off the enemy.

Knowing that the pillar was Su Zhe, he became excited and wanted to get the kill as soon as possible.

To JL's surprise, his Glock had been firing continuously since A Company, and his once plentiful magazine was already empty.

He clearly saw Su Zhe jumping around as he reloaded his gun, but as soon as he fired a shot that hit Su Zhe in the body, he heard the sound of the magazine being emptied.

"Shoot!"

JL cursed under his breath and immediately returned to cover to reload. Su Zhe was delighted to see this.

He had just finished reloading and was all smiles as he was about to drag the man out to finish him off when he noticed a bandit figure emerging from Hall A.

Startled by what he saw, Su Zhe quickly crouched down to avoid the headshot line, and at the same time, his crosshair was quickly swung towards Hall A.

"Puff puff!"

After taking several bullets and with his health almost depleted, Su Zhe finally managed to aim at the opponent's head.

"puff!"

Arrow used a USP to headshot and kill bit.

JL had already reloaded and, upon hearing Bit's message about being severely wounded, lunged forward again.

When he saw the other person turn to the side and was about to fire a shot to take them out, he saw the other person's head suddenly turn ninety degrees.

It's like a single frame of positioning!

"Pfft~"

Arrow used a USP to headshot and kill JL.

"what?"

JL stared blankly at the black and white screen as if he had seen a ghost.

On the NAVI court, only Leonardo DiCaprio was left on the stage; he had just been defending against the watermelon on the spiral staircase.

When he realized something was wrong, he had just finished using a smoke grenade to cover the Heavens, only to find that all his teammates were already dead.

"what?"

Leonardo DiCaprio's reaction was only a second slow when he suddenly realized that a bullet was being shot at his side.

"Puff~"

Arrow used a USP to headshot and kill Aleksib.

"What the hell is this?! A pentakill right at the start of the pistol round?!" Mo couldn't help but swear.

"Watermelon had planned to sell out Arrow from the start, and hid on the spiral staircase without daring to come out and finish him off. As a result, Arrow killed them all by himself while circling around the pillar!"

Masixi then exclaimed in shock, "This is outrageous! This is Arrow! Even a Major champion team couldn't take him down by himself!"

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[That body control and positioning...it really got me all teary-eyed!]

[Dude, you killed them all by yourself? What is this thing?]

JL's expression is hilarious!

[JL: You're really driving!]

[There was no teamwork involved; it was all individual skill!]

"NIIIIICE!!!"

After killing Little Li, Su Zhe, who was on edge, shouted loudly!
There was no other way; he had to ensure he could kill while also staying alive to protect his teammates. The pressure he faced from being surrounded by the enemy was immense.

"A God! You're amazing! You got a pentakill!" Jee excitedly bumped fists with Su Zhe and shouted.

"I thought we were going to lose the pistol round, but we won!" Xiaohua was equally excited.

This pistol round victory was absolutely crucial.

They already struggled to score on this large offensive map, and now that they've won the pistol round, their defensive pressure will be greatly reduced as long as they don't get overturned later on!

After losing the pistol round, NAVI opted for an Eco round to build up their economy.

The five players only used one flashbang and one smoke grenade, preparing to rush A hall and plant the bomb to win.

But without A, they were completely outmatched by Xiaohua, who was close by in Hall A, and got three kills in one go.

Su Zhe from the middle lane also arrived quickly, and steadily finished off the enemy from a distance with his long spear.

By the time the match entered the long-range rounds, the score had reached 2-0.
