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

"A 1v3 clutch! Arrow, with only a Tec-9 and low on health, can he still pull off a miracle?! Take down one! Two! Is there a third?! He takes down IM with a single bullet!"

"It's simply a miracle!"

Ma Xixi was completely immersed in Su Zhe's first-person perspective gameplay, and his commentary tone gradually changed from initial restraint to uncontrollable excitement!
"The match is over! 13-11!"

"Arrow single-handedly shattered NAVI's dream of going into overtime with a Tec-9!"

"He's the monster from the competition server!"

The chat in the live stream had fallen silent the moment the game entered the endgame, but it exploded at the very end of the match, with the word "NB" instantly filling the entire chat!

【NB！！！！！！】

[They actually won? That's insane!]

This is God!

[Low health, 1v3, and he still managed to kill the Tec-9?]

Holy crap! I almost choked on my food!

This could easily be in the yearly highlights! And their opponent was NAVI, who had just won the world championship!!

[It's all due to individual skill! Xiao Zhe is absolutely amazing!]

We are the champions!!!

【…】

The live stream chat was buzzing with excitement, while the audience at the competition venue was even more enthusiastic.

They all thought it would be a one-sided, easy match, with LVG being nothing more than an insignificant pebble on NAVI's path to the next stage of the competition.

And now, the boy who is raising his arms and cheering on the stage is crushing this yellow and black army with his skills and personal ability!
High-spirited!

Whether they were fans who had previously supported NAVI or viewers who never expected this Asian team to win the match, everyone was captivated by this young man at this moment!

A comeback! A comeback! A victory against all odds! That's the charm of CS:GO esports!

In their eyes, Su Zhe was already the only protagonist in this venue!
The passion of thousands of spectators filled the already small venue with shouts and cheers.

On the LVG players' bench, Su Zhe, having vented his emotions, also hugged his teammates excitedly.

This feeling of victory made him feel as if he were back at the scene of winning the championship at the IEM Chengdu station not long ago.

That was absolutely exhilarating!
"Hahaha! We beat NAVI!"

"Win! Win!"

His teammates were excitedly babbling incoherently, and Su Zhe hugged them tightly, fully enjoying the joy of victory.

To outsiders, LVG's victory over a strong team was nothing more than an upset.

But they themselves knew that this victory had a special meaning for them, and even for CNCS!

"Everyone was great... I..."

Jee, who was feeling a bit sentimental, wanted to say something, but her voice choked up without her realizing it.

"Alright, alright, you already cried once a few days ago when you advanced. Be happy now that you've won the game. What if you have to cry every game after you achieve good results?" Su Zhe patted Jee on the shoulder and joked.

His words amused everyone.

Jee blushed upon hearing this, and the emotion that had brought her to the point of tears vanished, leaving only pure excitement.

At a hotel in Malta.

Watching the live stream, 259 gazed at the LVG members embracing and huddling together, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

TyLoo also participated in this EPL league, but their results were the opposite of LVG's. TyLoo was eliminated early in the Swiss round with a score of 0-3, failing to qualify for the main tournament.

259. No matter how unwilling he was to accept this result, he could only accept the failure. In fact, he had long been used to failure.

But why do I always fail?
He did his best to cultivate the team members, and he didn't care about the comments about him online. At most, he would just laugh and say, "Why don't you try Tianlu?"

As one of the earliest professional CS:GO players in China, 259 clearly understands the main reasons why domestic teams fail to achieve results and wants to do his best to change this environment.

If it were just for the club's meager salary, I probably would have retired long ago.

After retiring, wouldn't it be better to just become a streamer and make money than to train for several hours a day in a tedious manner?

The jewelry I have in my inventory alone is enough to cover my salary for many years.
But after so many years of professional competition, he still has regrets in his heart. He no longer sees the competition as just a job, but also has a feeling that he is afraid to give up.

He was afraid that if he left, the performance of Tianlu, or rather the entire CNCS, would become even worse.

It's important to know that he had gradually corrected the team members' habits, from their daily routines to their attitudes towards competitions.

If I just let go like this, will there be anyone in the team who can keep them in check?

But watching the live stream, seeing that group of young people, averaging only around 20 years old, embracing each other, and their unrestrained youthful fighting spirit gave 259 a new idea.

"I think I really should make way for the younger generation."

……

The scene of the game.

The LVG players have already started walking towards the NAVI players' bench on the other side, under the director's camera.

The NAVI team was naturally finding the result of this best-of-three series hard to accept, even somewhat incredulous. Just a month ago, they were the undisputed Major champions, but a month later in the EPL league, they lost a best-of-three series to an unknown team.

Even in this EPL league, their team's record has dropped to 0-2, and they are already on the verge of elimination without winning a single game!
This feeling of going from heaven to hell is truly unbearable.

Seeing that the five opponents had already approached, the NAVI players composed themselves, feeling disappointed, and prepared to shake hands.

JL looked up at Su Zhe, who was chatting and laughing with someone nearby, and lowered her head in shame, unsure of how to treat him.

I had just mocked them at the hotel a couple of days ago, and today I've become their defeated foe once again.

Just as he was thinking about how to escape the other party's ridicule, a pair of hands reached out.

JL looked up and saw Su Zhe staring straight at him with a smile on his face.

JL opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, but to his surprise, Su Zhe had already let go of his hand and walked towards his other teammate.

This feeling of being lifted up high and then gently put down made him feel even more uncomfortable, as if he were invisible in the other person's eyes.

"Even a few harsh words to me would be nice..."

Su Zhe had no idea what JL was thinking, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't say much, only praising JL for being suitable to be a submissive.

He just wants to focus on playing his game well, and he really doesn't want to waste his energy worrying about these off-court conflicts.

Saying "Have you ever beaten me even once?" in the hotel lobby was just a form of retaliation against JL at the time.

Now that he has already won the game, why should he care about these things? He'd rather avoid trouble than cause any more problems. He's the kind of person who hates trouble the most.

After the handshake, the host invited Su Zhe to come forward for an interview.

But Su Zhe really didn't want to say those formulaic interview questions, so he used the excuse of needing to pee to go back to the lounge.

Jee took his place in the interview.

……

CSBOY Live Stream

Several minutes had passed since the end of the match, but Masisi and Mo were still reluctant to stop.

They discussed the details of the match over and over again, occasionally pulling back to relive the highlights.

"LVG played so well today! Haha! I still feel like I'm dreaming." Ma Xixi laughed heartily again.

[I feel like I'm dreaming... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that NAVI is currently ranked number one in the world!]

[CNCS is doing well! Will Xiao Zhe stay with LVG?]

[Leave a comment! Although LVG's discipline has improved, they're still essentially playing a one-versus-four game.]

Indeed, it's best to find a strong team and achieve good results first, rather than holding yourself back...

[Ma Dongdong, quickly check out the stats for this Bo3 match, let me have a good laugh!]

【…】

Ma Xixi glanced at the live stream chat and then remembered why she always felt like she hadn't done something.

So he easily opened HLTV to check the data for this best-of-three match.

"This record is just too outrageous! He got a total of 55 kills in just two maps, Map 1 and Map 3!"

Ma Xixi clicked her tongue in the live stream, automatically ignoring the second picture's core player's match.

In the nuclear crisis, the entire team was completely overwhelmed by the enemy, so individual performance no longer matters.

"Arrow showed absolutely no mercy against the champion team NAVI! His rating stats are outrageous!"

"Anubis has a rating of 1.65, and the town has a rating of 1.76. Who would believe that their opponent today is Na'Vi?"

【Outrageous! 】

[You don't even need to watch Xiao Zhe's matches; anyone could guess who the MVP of today's BO3 was.]

[For LVG, NAVI is the big boss; but for NAVI, Xiao Zhe is the real big boss!]

Xiao Zhe is getting more and more outrageous these days; it feels like he's just randomly killing everyone he faces.

Haha, LVG is practically no different from riding in a trailer now.

Even with the stats in Figure 2 not being great, the total rating of 1.46 across the entire Bo3 series is insane!

Ma Xixi glanced at the live stream chat and said with some emotion, "Actually, today's match really showed the huge gap between the two teams. Otherwise, with Arrow's performance, they wouldn't have had such a difficult time today."

"Moreover, as everyone can see, NAVI's performance today was not good. JL's performance was mediocre, and Bit only made a contribution in the first half of the game in the small town."

"It will be difficult for LVG to make it into the quarterfinals of the EPL. The upcoming matches will only be more difficult."

"Hopefully they'll do their best in the upcoming matches; winning even one more game is a bonus..."

Just as Ma Xixi was speaking from the heart, the interview on the live broadcast suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

All you could hear was Jee, who was being interviewed, repeatedly expressing her gratitude while holding the microphone.

"Thank you, Masisi... Thank you, Danking... Thank you..."

As she spoke, Jee couldn't help but cry again. (End of Chapter)
