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

JL felt he had had enough of all the humiliation he had suffered in CS:GO today.

He was killed by a stun gun and by a knife.

In a normal competition, if any one of these things happened, I would be teased for a long time. Today, I got to experience all of them.

However, after his death, he no longer had the eagerness to retaliate as before. Instead, he felt a sense of shame and thought to himself:
"Regardless of today's outcome, I'm definitely no match for Arrow."

……

After losing the pistol round, NAVI's coach, Xiao Li, immediately had everyone choose a pure eco round and gamble on a 5B round.

But it didn't work out well. First, Xiao Hua seduced them in the dark room, and the five of them rushed out in a hurry.

As a result, a hairdryer on the roof of the dark room, combined with AKs fired from the distant bandit ladder, killed all five men one by one.

By the time the rifle rounds began, the score had already reached 9-5!

"If we win this rifle round, we'll almost have match point!" Xigua's voice was already unconsciously excited, and he immediately pulled out a sniper rifle and threw it at Jee's feet.

"Just send me a hairdryer. I'll jump out and draw fire first, and then we'll continue with the same tactics we used in the pistol round."

"However, at the start of the game, when the opponent pushes the middle bridge with smoke, you can throw a VIP smoke. Given the opponent's defensive habits, they shouldn't be able to push through the smoke."

There aren't many items in the pistol round, so all sorts of strange and unusual defensive positions can be used.

However, there are more things to consider when it comes to the long-range rounds. In addition, NAVI is already four points behind on the defensive side, so they will definitely be more cautious in their tactical arrangements.

Then Xigua added, "But this round, Starry, you should go solo outside B and coordinate with others. Jee, you can try sniping the Black Room with your AWP. The other side probably won't expect us to be using AWPs so early."

After arranging the tactics, the preparation time was just over. Su Zhe replenished his full armor, bought an AK, and then followed his teammates to head underwater.

When he arrived at the thief's ladder, he flicked a flashbang, intending to help Xiaohua get the information for Hall A. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he released the flashbang, the other side blocked the entrance to Hall A with a smoke grenade.

Just as he was wondering if NAVI was in such a hurry to use defensive smokes because there were fewer people at point A this round, he suddenly heard the sound of a sniper rifle.

He immediately glanced at the top right corner of the screen.

[Jee using the AWP was killed by Flashy White in IM]

"Great gun!" Su Zhe didn't hold back his praise.

Jee chuckled and said, "The other side really didn't expect me to use a sniper rifle! They actually dared to bring it out like that."

Su Zhe wasn't surprised that IM took such a risk at the start. The academic team was just playing the most reasonable strategy, and taking risks to exchange for key information wasn't considered aggressive.

The other side really didn't expect them to be up so early with sniper rifles, causing the IM who was collecting underwater information to be instantly killed.

Su Zhe immediately realized that IM was the player in charge of the black room, so he said, "We can't get into Hall A for the time being, Xigua, come and help me stay in the black room."

Watermelon had the same idea, so it took the lead and headed towards the dark room.

"IM's point dropped a bit too quickly! NAVI also had few defensive items this round..."

"Little Li actually abandoned point A and chose to gamble on the 3B position! He only left Bit to be the backup in the middle."

"Watermelon threw a grenade into the dark room, and Hairdry immediately pulled out to hold the position in the dark room. Moreover, judging from Starry's movement close to the B door, Jee's AWP is also starting to move towards the outside of B. Could it be that NAVI really made the right gamble?"

After clearing out the dark room, Su Zhe and Xigua did indeed have the idea of ​​directly attacking point B.

The main reason they won the pistol round was because they used this kind of offensive positioning in the pistol round, and then they won the pistol round by rotating to another position.

Therefore, Su Zhe did not believe that Xiao Li would directly leave the A bomb site empty to gamble on B.

But from God's perspective, Su Zhe did underestimate the charisma of Little Li as a commander.

"The police's cigarettes are gone!"

At this moment, Jee had already arrived outside B and threw a gadget. Starry, timing the dissipation of the defensive smoke at B door, also threw a smoke gadget to block the attack line of the B company and the gun line of the black room on the B platform.

These two smokes almost completely covered all the advantageous firing positions of the CTs at the B bomb site!
However, NAVI reacted quickly, promptly sending another defensive smoke grenade to B Company.

"It's difficult for me to get in from here!" Starry hurriedly communicated.

"fine."

Su Zhe thought there was still plenty of time, and he could wear down NAVI's defensive equipment. Xiao Hua could also try to push forward towards Hall A. However, he did not expect a small black dot to suddenly appear in front of him.

"The other side wants to revive the black room!"
Su Zhe's hands moved much faster than his brain. He immediately and subconsciously turned his head to dodge, and when he quickly turned back, the watermelon in front of him had become his scapegoat, riddled with bullets by the CT scan that had been pulled out.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Zhe immediately positioned his AK and opened fire.

"Da da da~"

Arrow used an AK-47 to headshot and kill JL.

Trading one for one with the CT team would obviously be advantageous, and considering that the opposing team might not have many players at point B, Su Zhe immediately had the idea of ​​breaking through the point alone.

He glanced at the pillar's location, and finding no one there, immediately stepped out of the dark room.

The anti-smoke grenade that was just thrown from B Company's position was Su Zhe wondering if the enemy was still behind the smoke when suddenly a series of bullets came flying at him from the side.

Three Bs?
Startled, Su Zhe immediately ducked to avoid the bullets, and then quickly pinpointed the enemy's location by listening to the gunshots.

He quickly crouched down, adjusted his aim, and swung the gun directly at the fake door.

At this moment, the fake door was still shrouded in smoke from the police's attack. Little Li was standing in front of the fake door, judging the location where the enemy would exit the dark room, and began to suppress his gun fire while trying to blend into the smoke.

Unexpectedly, a series of bullets suddenly ricocheted back.

"Da da da~"

Arrow used an AK-47 to headshot Aleksib in the smoke and killed him.

"Wang Defa! You can easily get smoke grenades from that position!" the fallen Xiao Li hurriedly shouted in the voice chat.

Wang Defa had a smoke grenade on him, intending to detonate it to check the situation at the entrance of the dark house, but he didn't expect that Xiao Lizi had already fallen to the ground first.

He immediately abandoned the idea of ​​using smoke. As he retreated towards B Company's cover, he was about to use smoke when the enemy fired a burst of bullets first.

"Isn't this perfect?!"

Wang Defa was judging the trajectory of the bullet when he fired a shot with his silenced gun. Suddenly, an AK bullet pierced his forehead.

"Da da da~"

Arrow used an AK-47 to headshot w0nderful in the smoke and killed him.

"Another kill! What the hell! He got a triple kill by entering the point alone, and he didn't even see the two kills. Is he that good?" Ma Xixi exclaimed in an exaggerated voice.

[Haha, this looks like it has auto-lock and X-ray vision enabled!]

[I was so flustered by Little Li's smoke that I ducked and turned around frantically, but then I pinpointed the smoke in a second. That was so cool!]

[So what if he got a triple kill by going in alone? I'm used to seeing this kind of thing in Xiao Zhe's games.]

[You've never turned it off, have you?]

MO glanced at the chat and said with a smile, "This is a complete suppression of individual combat ability! NAVI can't contain Arrow's performance at all..."

While Mo was analyzing the situation, Bit, who was the only survivor in NAVI, felt that there was little hope in the 1v4 situation, so he chose to save his weapon.

Unexpectedly, after a great victory in the front, Xiaohua pushed in from Hall A early on and directly eliminated Bit's back attack.

After another eco round, the score is now 11-5!
A score that surprised everyone before the competition!

Moreover, NAVI knew they had reached the very edge of the cliff and tried to pause the game to try one last time.

However, LVG at this point is no longer the same LVG. With the extensive pre-match preparations made for this map, coupled with the offensive advantage of the attacking side, they have improved significantly.

After tentatively losing a few points, LVG escaped the curse of match point this time and took two more points in one go, sealing the result of the first map at 13-8.

They took the lead in the best-of-three series against NAVI!

Unlike the festive atmosphere in the live stream, where viewers were filled with all sorts of awesome comments, this time the chat was different.

After the initial cheers, the excitement of the LVG members gradually subsided.

Xiaohua gulped down half a bottle of water, then said, "Why does it seem like winning in picture one was so easy..."

Jee nodded in agreement, adding, "Indeed... it felt like we won out of nowhere. Could we already have the strength to win a Major?"

"Pfft!" Su Zhe, who was also drinking water, almost choked when he heard these words.

NAVI = Major Champion
So, LVG winning one map against NAVI is greater than winning a Major championship?

Watermelon rolled its eyes at Jee and Xiaohua and said, "Easy to win? Damn it, why didn't anyone say it was easy when we were training until 1 a.m. last night?" "Besides, the other side missed a lot of timings on the first map, so they obviously haven't been practicing this map recently."

Su Zhe smiled and nodded in agreement with Xigua's words, saying, "The opposing NAVI are also normal humans. It seems they've become a bit complacent after winning the Major."

Although he had never been in an academic esports team, Su Zhe understood that teams like NAVI relied more on regular training.

After all, it's clear that individual players on NAVI aren't that strong. Even bit, who has won two Major titles, has more team honors than individual ones.

After NAVI lost their biggest advantage in team coordination on the Anubis map, they won easily thanks to their extensive pre-match preparations.

Then Watermelon seemed to remember something and preemptively said, "Let's relax as much as possible now. Things won't be so comfortable when we get to the nuclear crisis in Figure 2..."

……

Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

Green Dragon Electronics Club, training room.

Donk was leaning back in his gaming chair, propping his chin up with his hand and staring at the live stream screen in front of him.

Suddenly, the training room door was pushed open, and Chopper walked in with a banana in his mouth. The first thing he looked at after entering was his team's "prodigy".

"Oh?"

Chopper found it odd and walked up behind Donk, leaning down to say, "That's strange, you're not playing ranked?"

No wonder he found it strange. Usually, when there are no training missions or scrims, Donk is either playing ranked matches or on his way to matchmaking. He's never like this before.

Donk nodded slightly and said in a still somewhat immature voice, "Just finished playing ranked and taking a break. That match was quite interesting."

Chopper looked up at the live stream screen, "NAVI vs. LVG? Which team is that?"

He then realized something was wrong: an unheard-of team had actually won a map against NAVI in a best-of-three series.

Donk didn't say anything, but simply pointed to the player's avatar below.

Chopper squinted and said, "Arrow, no wonder... I heard he's been working as a temporary staff member for a team in his own country recently, and I wonder which team he'll end up with..."

The CSGO scene has never lacked talented young players, and there are also those who have made a few debut matches with extremely impressive tournament statistics.

Even when Su Zhe was with NIP, carrying the team to the Katowice semifinals and the Major main event, he only attracted a little attention.

It's worth noting that Donk had already performed very well before Katowice, even winning the Villa Cup, but he was only a minor celebrity at the time.

Su Zhe only truly entered the international spotlight after winning the IEM Chengdu tournament, having also defeated a super team to win the championship with incredibly impressive statistics.

Chopper chuckled and teased, "Speaking of which, Arrow is quite similar to you; you were both made famous by Faze."

Donk was amused by Chopper's words, but then quickly turned his attention back to the game in front of him.

Chopper followed his gaze and muttered, "Looks like LVG is going to lose on map two... The match will have to wait and see on map three."

Donk glanced at the 7-12 score at the top of the screen, nodded, and agreed with Chopper's assessment.

After all, LVG was down by five match points on the offensive side, making a comeback extremely difficult.

Donk suddenly turned his head and asked, "What's our next match? I'm so tired of staying in the training room."

Chopper chuckled, knowing that Donk wanted to go to the competition, and said, "Soon, the manager has signed us up for the Villa Cup competition, um... in about half a month."

"Ah~"

Donk covered his face in disappointment. He loved traveling around the world to compete, and he could also travel during the competition. However, the tournament he had been looking forward to for so long was still being held in front of his own club.

The Villa Cup is being held in the city where their club is located.

Chopper ruffled Donk's hair and laughed, "There will be even more events to come, so there will be plenty of opportunities to go out and have fun in the future."

He then looked at the screen in front of him, where the second map match had already ended, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Arrow's individual abilities?"

Donk replied seriously, "Very strong."

Then he smacked his lips and said, "But his gun control is a bit lacking. If I were him, I could have wiped out at least three people in that wave outside just now."

Chopper nodded, then asked, "What if you were facing him..."

Donk knew what he was going to ask, and spread his hands, saying, "I've never encountered that before, and I don't know either."

……

EPL match scene.

"What a pity, what a pity."

"We still need to practice this kind of map. I feel like the bomb placement order is a bit off; the position on the third floor inside the area doesn't seem to have any impact at all."

"That's right. Also, Watermelon, how come your metal plate flash blinded me?!"

"..."

Two minutes after the end of the second map match, the LVG players were still discussing the match that had just concluded.

It turns out that their proficiency on the Nuclear Crisis map is far behind that of the European teams.

Once you play against a strong team, your weaknesses will be exposed. This was the case yesterday against Faze, and it was the same today against NAVI.

Xigua let out a long sigh. As the commander on this tactical map, he was indeed under a lot of pressure.

If it weren't for Su Zhe's support, they probably wouldn't even have gotten 3 points in Map 2, let alone 7.

He then adjusted his mindset and said to everyone, "Alright, we'll discuss the match after it's over. First, let's talk about some things we need to pay attention to in the town later."

Everyone quieted down after hearing this, and Su Zhe also picked up the tactics notebook on the table and started reading.

Although they lost the match in Figure 2, it didn't really have a big impact on their morale, since they had expected it.

On the contrary, it would be somewhat unbelievable for them to win against a strong team like NAVI during a nuclear crisis.

However, the next small town was much more comfortable. They had made their BP predictions yesterday and focused their pre-match preparations on the Anubis and Infernal Town maps.

Time ticked by, and as the halftime break drew to a close, the cheers from the audience began again.

But as the third match was about to begin, a strange sense of pressure began to weigh on the hearts of the LVG players, growing stronger and stronger…

Xiao Hua and the others could even hear their own heartbeats.

They easily won against Anubis in the first map, and their defeat in Nuclear Crisis was expected. But can they really defeat NAVI with the pre-match preparations of a small town?
The score is now tied 1-1, and the decisive game will begin in one minute. Naturally, they are thinking about the final victory of this match.

They won, and regardless of their subsequent tournament results, they will definitely receive countless praises when they return home. They might even be able to boost the development of CNCS by leveraging this surge in popularity.

But what if you lose? It seems you can only earn the title of "honorable defeat".

The process of the game is important, but the result after the game is even more important.

Having finally won a map against NAVI, neither side was willing to accept defeat.

Su Zhe noticed the change in the team's atmosphere and said with a smile, "Why are you all so tense... Have you forgotten what you just said? Who said NAVI is nothing special?"

Jee let out a sigh of relief, pouting, and said, "That's for sure! Otherwise, how could they have lost to us in the first round?"

Su Zhe smiled upon hearing this and gave Jee a thumbs up, "It has to be you!"

Their conversation eased the tense atmosphere within the team somewhat.

But Su Zhe knew that this was far from enough, so he said to everyone, "Jee is right. Since we can easily win the first map, why can't we win this Bo3?"

"Relax. As long as we try our best in every round, just like we did at the beginning, and with the targeted preparation before the match, our chances of winning are quite high!"

"That's right! What the hell is NAVI! They're the ones who won today!" Jee suddenly shouted, venting all his emotions.

His shout completely stirred up the emotions of LVG and the others.

"They've won! Go team!"

"come on! Come on!"

The LVG members bumped fists at each other to encourage each other.

Looking at the excited crowd, Su Zhe showed a satisfied expression. Then he turned his attention back to the competition, and his expression became serious again.

He knew that the small town map was also a frequently used map by NAVI, and that defeating them on this map would actually be much more difficult. (End of Chapter)
