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

Chapter 44 The pressure comes from teammates
The Katowice qualifying round schedule is very tight, with 16 teams competing within two days to determine the eight places in the final competition.

The opponent in the game may only know about it a day or even a few hours in advance, and there is no way for them to target you tactically.

When Su Zhe sat in front of the computer again the next day to prepare for the competition, he was no longer as nervous as he was the first time.

This kind of thing is like that. The first time you do it, you feel nervous, excited, and expectant. The second time, you only feel excited and expectant.

Their opponent this time is GL. As long as they can defeat them in this Bo3, Su Zhe will have completed the task assigned to him by the club manager.

"Is this opponent strong? Is it easier to deal with than yesterday's ENCE?" After defeating a round of bots, Su Zhe asked his teammates for information so that he could prepare himself mentally.

REZ, standing by, smiled and said, "GL was the runner-up in the last Paris Major. Don't you think they're strong?"

"Huh? So awesome?"

Even players who don’t play CSGO are somewhat familiar with the Major tournament, and they were the runner-up in the previous tournament?
k0nfig glanced at REZ and said, "Don't scare the kids."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Su Zhe: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Although GL was the runner-up in the last Major, the team's most critical commander siuhy and the best-performing IM have both left the team."

"Overall, it's neither strong nor weak, and is now at the level of a second-tier team."

Su Zhe nodded and had an idea in his mind.

"But you can't relax too much, because the opponent's commander is snax!" es3tag reminded from the side.

Su Zhe asked doubtfully: "Snax? Is it very strong?"

"Emmmm..." es3tag hesitated for a moment before saying, "I used to be really strong. I was in the top 20 for four consecutive years and even won a Major."

"Tsk~" k0nfig said disdainfully, "So what? In 17, I was 14th among top players, and he was only 20th."

Rez said, "I know you were awesome back then. If you have the guts, show us another top 20 player this year."

k0nfig: …

Coach djL heard the team's chatter and reminded them, "Alright, the ban selection has begun. Let's focus on playing well first."

Starting from the second round, both the winner group and the loser group will be in Bo3 format.

Compared to Bo1, Bo3 is more friendly to teams that do not have a deep map pool.

After all, most teams only have one or two strong maps, and they might all be banned in Bo1, but in Bo3, you will at least get a map you are good at.

The final image selection results will be released soon.

Picture 1 is the Desert City that Nip actively selected
Picture 2 is the Purgatory Town selected by GL
Picture 3 shows us arriving at the Death Amusement Park
"I thought they would release the Ancient Ruins, but I didn't expect it to be banned." headtr1ck said regretfully. He didn't like the Death Amusement Park map.

k0nfig complained, "Do you think I'm stupid? GL's win rate on Ancient Ruins is only 12% lately. How could they possibly let you play last? And our rookie played so well on this map yesterday."

"You agree, right? Arrow."

As he spoke, k0nfig raised his eyebrows at Su Zhe. Although he was older, he still preferred younger people, though not in a physical sense.

Previously, the youngest member of the team was headtr1ck, and now that Su Zhe is here, Su Zhe is naturally the youngest.

After hearing this, Su Zhe responded with a smile. He felt that k0nfig's mentality was completely unlike that of a man who was about to turn 30.

Soon at the referee's reminder, both sides began to enter the server in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Lost City in the Desert

GL: acoR, isak, volt, Keoz, snax
Nip: es3tag, k0nfig, headtr1ck, REZ, Arrow
As Nip's map pick, GL chose to start on the defensive side.

……

csboy live broadcast room.

"Hello, welcome to watch the match between Nip and GL. I am the commentator Masisi."

"I'm the commentator, CaptainMo."

"I'm Assistant Asuka Haru~"

"You are?"

【I am Asuka’s dog～】

[I am the MVP player of the Stockholm Major champion, UZI]

I'm Danking! I can play in the Shanghai Major!

Masisi ignored the abstract comments and said, "I believe everyone knows what the focus of this game is. Mo, what do you think of Nip, the new Arrow?"

Mo laughed and said, "What else can I do? I just sit and watch. Hahaha, just kidding. I watched the demo of that match carefully later. I can only see that this new player is very brave. He doesn't have the usual timidity of newcomers. I think this is really remarkable."

As the former captain of the old Tianlu, Mo is also one of the biggest contributors to leading Tianlu to the peak of CNCS in 18. His words are still very valuable.

"Oh~" Ma Xixi said with a smile, "I heard that 259 still doesn't think highly of this newcomer?"

"You know all this?" Mo was a little surprised. This was clearly a private conversation between him and 259!
Masisi said, "What do you think? I have a wide range of information channels."

Mo said helplessly, "Well, 259 did say that. He said Arrow's style of play isn't well-suited to the European professional scene, and he might not last even three months at Nip."

The comments on the forum were filled with question marks due to Masisi's rhythm.

[Hey buddy, doesn't 259 have any points? Not only does he not want Xiaozhe, he even curses him!]

[Is 259 in the livestream?! If Xiaozhe can stay in Nip for three months, you should just retire!]

[No matter how bad they are, they can still get into Nip. When Tianlu met Nip before, their heads were blown away.] [Xiaozhe played so well yesterday, how could he be kicked out by Nip with a rating of 1.53? Unless their management is a CS.]

Mo looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and didn't understand why Maxixi suddenly said this. He was about to ask privately on his phone, but the game had already started.

Ma Xixi's deep voice came: "Mo, come and check the time..."

……

In the pistol round, es3tag planned to use a wave of explosives to speed up the attack at point A and make a quick attack.

After Su Zhe bought half armor at the beginning, he walked towards the A2 building, intending to cooperate with the four teammates in A1 to finish off the enemy.

"Just hand over the smoke under the jump platform. Be careful that the opponent's B2 gets the information and returns to defend in advance." es3tag didn't intend to waste time and directly issued the bomb explosion order.

In this round, CT took a regular 3A2B defensive position, and Snax used dual guns to hold the second floor close to the target.

As soon as his teammate said that the bandit had handed over the archway cigarette, he knew that his bet was right this round, so he rushed straight into the A2 building with his double guns.

As long as you can get the kill, you can cooperate with your teammates in the police team to form a cross-gun line.

As a result, when he went out and saw the bandits and was about to shoot, he heard the sound of his own head being shot.

"Bang! Puff!"

Arrow kills Snax with a headshot using a Glock

"WDF! How can this new guy react so quickly!" The dead snax was a little annoyed.

"Oh~ The new player Arrow successfully caught the snax who wanted to push forward. His frontal ability is really strong!" Masisi exclaimed after seeing this kill.

"The bandit in A1 was about to come out, but the police's acoR was accurate! USP took out two people in a row! The volt in the arch caught a wave of timing mixed smoke and got a kill!"

"Luckily, k0nfig reacted quickly and killed Volt!"

In just a few seconds, the situation on the field changed rapidly, forming a 2 vs. 3 situation.

"There is still one more person in the police house! Be careful! The remaining two people should be guarding B!" se3tag shouted in the voice!

He didn't expect that even though Arrow successfully got the first kill at the beginning, he would still be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

After getting the information, Su Zhe aimed directly at the police's location and moved out horizontally.

AcoR from the police team originally wanted to retreat and wait for his teammates at point B to return to defense and then use the advantage in numbers to fight this endgame.

But how could Su Zhe miss such a good opportunity to kill? After seeing the CT jumping and preparing to enter the cover, he first shot him in the body to slow him down, and then started shooting frantically.

"Bang bang bang!"

Arrow kills acoR with a Glock headshot

"Good gun! Stay at the police station first! Someone is getting closer!" k0nfig said on the microphone. At this time, he had already circled to the long box position.

After hearing this, Su Zhe jumped down from the second floor and planned to rush to the police house with k0nfig to fire a finishing shot. Unexpectedly, Keoz, who was guarding B, chose to go through the VIP window to return to defense.

When they were planning to rob the police's house, he sneaked out through the archway smoke.

Keoz immediately opened fire after seeing the bandit's back at the longbox position, easily taking down k0nfig.

"The smoke is coming out!" the dead k0nfig shouted immediately.

But Su Zhe reacted faster and turned to the right as soon as he heard the USP's gunshot.

"Boom!"

Arrow kills Keoz with a Glock headshot

"Triple kill in the pistol round! It's a 1v1 endgame! What's going on? The grenade pack is on him, and the police's lsak chose to hide and buy time!"

"That's very smart. I won't go out if you don't place the package! But Arrow can definitely choose to place the A1 safety package!"

Su Zhe held the police for a long time, and when he found that CT did not give him any chance, he went directly to the safe bag position of A1 and started dropping the bag.

When he heard the CT pull out and fire to harass, he immediately switched guns and went around to the right side of the long box.

When Isaac discovered that the C4 was not really buried, he immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly turned the crosshairs to the left side of the long box.

But he found that the bandits' gun muzzles were aimed at him.

"Bang! Puff!"

Arrow kills Isaac with a Glock headshot

"Nice! Arrow! You got a quad kill!" k0nfig's excited voice came from the headset.

"The feeling is so good right from the start! I just fired a few shots and they all missed!" headtr1ck said happily. When he saw himself and his teammates being killed one after another, he thought the pistol round was over.

"Not bad!" Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief after fist-bumping with his teammates.

He didn't feel how accurate his opponent's shooting was, but the pressure from his teammates was a bit too great at the beginning.

But he didn't mean to complain, after all, everyone has bad moments.
