CS: A young talent from Peking University, you want me to play professionally?

After the interview, the five members of NA stood in the center of the stage and took a group photo after winning their first world championship. The five of them smiled differently in front of the camera, but they all felt very excited and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Shen Miaoxue, who hadn't pursued much success before becoming a professional player, now showed an extremely pleased expression.

Shen Miaoxue is quite different from everyone else in A. His initial motivation for becoming a professional player was simply to share common pursuits and goals with Li Mo.

But for others, whether it's Lin Yu, somebody, or Zaiwu.

Although they all have a deep personal admiration for Li Mo, they still want to achieve their seemingly distant and unattainable goals and dreams by joining the NA team on their professional career path.

Although the WCA Global Finals did not achieve the status of an S-level event, its prestige is widely recognized and acknowledged.

Therefore, being able to win such a championship in such a short period of time is incredibly exciting for them, and they feel that their team has a bright future ahead of them.

Back in the lounge, Li Mo turned on her phone and immediately saw a flood of messages.

Of course, there were blessings from his father, mother, and maternal grandfather, as well as more than 30 messages from Zhao Niannian that Li Mo could feel through the screen.

After replying to everyone, Li Mo led everyone to the final team-building activity of this trip abroad.

To be honest, during their trip to Saudi Arabia, they really didn't have much time for entertainment. They only had occasional moments to relax in the evenings. After all, their training couldn't be neglected, leaving little free time for other team members. However, Li Mo, due to her research project and other scientific tasks and pressures, hadn't been able to find any time for leisure.

"Your dad's phone call?"

Seeing the look of relief on Shen Miaoxue's face after she returned from taking a call outside the lounge, Li Mo quickly realized that she must have received a call from her father, who had almost never cared about her before.

"Yes, he actually watched the entire match this time, which really surprised me."

After putting down her phone, Shen Miaoxue's expression clearly showed happiness.

For her, a girl who went abroad at a young age and had no one to rely on overseas, what she wanted most was the warmth from her family. However, for many years before that, her parents were unable to fulfill their due obligations and responsibilities.

So, under such circumstances, after returning to China, Shen Miaoxue never had high expectations for her parents. However, all of this changed dramatically after she started playing professionally, especially after Li Mo and her father had a phone call.

Even now, Shen Miaoxue finds it hard to believe.

Li Mo, a boy even younger than her, managed to drastically change the attitude of her stubborn father, whom she considered completely incapable of communication.

And after the two had a phone call, her father actually started to quietly follow their team's matches, and even came to the match venue to cheer them on. Before that, she couldn't believe it at all, or even imagine it.

So for these reasons, plus her previous contact with Li Mo and her understanding of Li Mo, to be honest, although Shen Miaoxue used to think that it would be difficult for anyone to truly make her heart flutter, or even succeed or fail, after meeting Li Mo, many of her previous ideas underwent a dramatic change.

In the evening, everyone sat together, reminiscing about the past and dreaming about the future, their faces beaming with joy and happiness.

Seeing all this, Li Mo felt genuinely happy, even proud. From the very beginning, he wanted to build a team where members could become the closest of friends and brothers.

Furthermore, the changes this team can bring to its members, both personally and in their families, are something Li Mo finds very valuable and something he greatly desires to see.

The reason he chose Lin Yu at the time was largely because of Lin Yu's family background, which made him feel sorry for him.

This 17-year-old boy's parents divorced when he was young, and his grandmother passed away when he was 6. He was only cared for by his disabled grandfather.

For him, there are only two most precious things in his life: his aging body and his grandfather who has difficulty moving around, and the games he loves very much.

Lin Yu didn't choose to attend high school because, at a time when many teenagers are still completely lost about life, his upbringing and the pressures of life made him mature at a young age. He clearly understood that, despite not having much talent in academics, he possessed exceptional talent in gaming, which he displayed early and quickly. To change his fate and provide a better life for his family, he could only rely on becoming a professional gamer. It's fair to say that without Li Mo's presence, after a period of playing professionally and finding he wasn't achieving good results, and with the income not being as high as that of a professional gamer, Lin Yu might have quickly retired and gone down the path of gamer streaming.

Because he knew from the very beginning that he could not replicate Li Mo's path, but he also understood that for ordinary people, the only way to change their own destiny is to rely on what they are good at and passionate about.

When he sent his resume to Li Mo's email address, he didn't have high hopes. Although he prayed every day for a polite reply and to become even just a substitute or a youth training player, it was still a hope he longed for.

So after receiving Li Mo's offer, Lin Yu was overjoyed and cried tears of joy. That night, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all, because he felt that if he really had the opportunity to become a member of NA, the trajectory of his life and his destiny would be changed.

After joining NA, he increasingly felt that this was not just a pipe dream, but a very real possibility. That's why he practiced twice as much every day. If Li Mo hadn't caught him secretly doing extra training twice and given him a very stern warning, Lin Yu would have really wanted to sacrifice his eating and sleeping time to train overtime every day. For him, the most important thing in his life now was to live up to Li Mo's kindness in recognizing his talent, and to live up to his teammates and the team he dreamed of.

After a night of laughter and joy, Na boarded a plane back home the next day. All five of them were eager to return home.

Even after the team building activity last night, that freak Lin Yu wanted to go back to his room to play some bots.

This terrifying idea was met with a combined attack from somebody and Zaiwu.

The two of them felt that they had put in their absolute effort, but they did not expect that after finishing such a long competition and finally achieving a perfect result, Lin Yu would want to return to the intense and exciting training immediately after the team building activity that night. This was really too much of a chore.

Li Mo was both amused and exasperated by Lin Yu's idea.

He knew why the other party had such a strong desire to improve themselves. Of course, he knew, because during the WCA World Finals, the team members had exposed a lot of problems, especially somebody and Lin Yu.

For somebody, the reason why he has many problems most of the time is actually due to his lack of personal ability.

As a veteran, he has a wealth of experience and a long professional career, so he doesn't experience many fluctuations in form during matches. More often than not, his lack of individual skill leads to problems in crucial moments, especially in the endgame and in terms of teamwork.

Especially during the previous match against Gambit, somebody had many problems from start to finish. Although the match didn't lead to any irreparable consequences, it did require the team, especially Li Mo, to make significant personal improvements during that period.

As for Lin Yu, in terms of personal ability, although he is not as exaggerated and abnormal as Shen Miaoxue and Zaiwu, he still possesses the personal ability of a world-class professional player. Therefore, in the competition, he did not reveal too much about his shooting skills and other personal abilities, and even had some highlights occasionally.

However, due to his youth, and although he had played professionally for a period of time, it was relatively short, so he still lacks experience, especially in major tournaments. Therefore, on the world stage, if he makes a mistake, or if his mistake has a significant impact on the team, his performance will fluctuate greatly.

Furthermore, because he has a very low self-esteem, Lin Yu will feel extremely guilty when personal problems arise. His mood will become very low, and his performance will be affected, which may lead to significant problems during the game.

For this reason, Li Mo had communicated with him more than once before, telling him not to have too much psychological burden. He should know that he should not be overly upset about the choices he makes during the competition, and he should not treat the mistakes he makes as something great. These things do not need to be reflected on the competition field, but should be constantly adjusted in the daily training process.

Therefore, Li Mo was well aware that after this competition, the team members had all recognized their problems to some extent and were now eager to make adjustments and changes. The biggest difference between their team and others was their unwavering belief and incredibly clear goal. Unless they achieved a grand slam in S-level tournaments to convince all the professional players and clubs who had previously doubted them, they would not relax or slack off in their mental and training efforts.

However, even the very strict Li Mo didn't place excessive demands on his players after the match. In his view, proper and complete relaxation was essential. It's important to understand that professional players are often under immense mental stress during training outside of matches. Without sufficient relaxation time, it can undoubtedly cause significant damage to their physical health and even their potential.

"Li Mo, I'm here!"

Not long after getting off the plane, Li Mo saw Zhao Niannian rushing towards her from afar.

Even though he was in a crowd, the other person spotted him immediately and was waving his hands excitedly.

For Zhao Niannian, since she met Li Mo, she had never gone this long without seeing Li Mo.

During this time at school, Zhao Niannian's biggest wish was to see Li Mo as soon as possible. When he had previously told Li Mo he wanted to go abroad together, Li Mo had politely declined with a long list of reasons. While these reasons seemed reasonable to Zhao Niannian, they were still things he didn't want to hear, because he hadn't witnessed any of it firsthand. Li Mo's first appearance on the world stage was important because he clearly understood the significance of a professional CS:GO career for Li Mo.

More than anyone else, he wanted to witness Li Mo's victory, but Li Mo said that it was final exam time and he needed to focus more on his studies. Besides, Li Mo wouldn't be able to accompany him during his trip abroad, so Zhao Niannian ultimately chose to listen to Li Mo. (End of Chapter)
