Huayu: What the heck is it that the actor gave me CS skills?

Chapter 39 Next Week's Match

"Thank you."

Yu Su rolled her eyes.

He hadn't expected that a B-team would need to undergo an evaluation.

Huang Mao was very serious: "Because we really want to compete, we have very high standards in this regard."

"..."

Yu Su disagreed with this point, but seeing that Huang Mao was serious, he didn't say anything more.

There was one thing that Yu Su was quite curious about.

"Aside from the Perfect Match next year, don't you guys have any matches lately?"

"Yes, we do." The blond guy took off his headphones, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But we want to find a good team before we play."

"What competition?"

"Internet Cafe League"

Is there a bonus?

"The first place winner gets a thousand yuan."

"..."

Yu Su was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can I participate in this competition?"

"We can participate, but we want to wait until everyone is here and practice our tactics before we join."

Yu Su was somewhat speechless and said bluntly, "Can't we practice while we fight?"

Seeing that Huang Mao seemed hesitant to speak, Yu Su offered a suggestion.

"You should know that even when everyone is present, all sorts of unexpected things can happen."

"You guys treat gaming as a profession, but they don't."

CS became very popular in later generations, but even with its immense popularity, there were still very few teams in China.

Moreover, there are only a few hundred thousand CS players in China these days, so Yu Su felt that Huang Mao was being a bit presumptuous.

Huang Mao glanced hesitantly at the glasses, who nodded.

The blond-haired man coughed and asked, "So, what's Brother Yu's opinion?"

If Huang Mao had previously taken a liking to Yu Su, he was thinking of having his girlfriend introduce him to someone.

After that round, Huang Mao started to take a liking to Yu Su himself.

There are many people who play games, but very few who want to form a team like them.

Yu Su thought for a moment and said, "I have a friend here who used to be in B, and his abilities are about the same. You can find another one, and that should be enough."

"Um... okay."

"Can the competition be held online?"

"It doesn't seem like that will work; it has to be done in an internet cafe."

When will the match take place?

"next week."

"Then let's add each other's contact information."

Yu Su took out his phone, scanned the two of them, and then looked at them and said, "I need to ask about that person. I'll send you a message if there's anything."

"Understood!"

"Shall I go now?"

"Um."

"..."

Yu Su has three purposes for participating in the competition.

Firstly, he wanted to use the competition to practice his skills, as his scenes would be almost finished in a week, giving him plenty of time.

Secondly, create content for your own account, because after the sensational headlines, you need other content to continue attracting traffic.

Thirdly, he really wants to form a team.

That was later on, of course.

If the biggest pain point for the entire nation is the national football team...

For the gaming industry, the performance of domestic CS teams is a sore point comparable to that of the Chinese national football team.

They won all the civil wars but lost all the foreign wars.

Occasionally bright, consistently low.

Yu Su has not been playing CS for long, but he has watched a lot of match commentary.

Green dragon, little bee, falcon, mouse...

Apart from Mongolia, there are basically no other strong teams in the Asian region.

Yu Su didn't actually think it was a problem with people.

If it's a human issue, then why is Mongolia, also in Asia, able to go against the tide?

It doesn't make sense that a country with a population of a few million can win, but a country with a population of over a billion can't.

Even from a probability standpoint, out of billions, there are bound to be hundreds of thousands of geniuses.

Yu Su felt that the main problem was that games weren't valued much in China.

From official circles to the general public, there is widespread opposition to games.

He had previously seen many posts like, "If my mom hadn't dragged me out of the internet cafe, Donk wouldn't have been so unruly."

This sounds like a joke at first, but what if the person saying it is actually a gaming genius?

Yu Su felt that the chances were very high, because almost all parents were against games!

In this situation, it would be easy to stifle a few geniuses.

After all, even the most brilliant genius can't beat the combined onslaught of their parents.

In such a social environment, there are naturally few talented people who can emerge.

Naturally, a healthy work environment cannot be formed.

People have professions such as analyst, psychologist, and tactical researcher.

Basically, a team is like a company, and the people behind the company are the team's support staff, serving the game.

In this situation, the players only need to execute the coach's tactics.

Practice your marksmanship and reduce any small movements during training.

Then, by achieving good results and receiving prize money, the positive cycle can continue.

In the early days, most domestic teams were just makeshift operations, and even those that existed didn't receive much support.

In addition, there are already few talented people in this industry, so the risks are too great if you're just doing it for the job.

So it went through ups and downs for more than a decade until Donk brought the game into the public eye.

CS gradually entered the public eye.

Yu Su summarized that there are two aspects of resources needed to form a team.

The first issue is money, since renting practice space and finding teams to train with both require funds.

The second is talent, which is even more difficult than the first point.

Ninety percent of parents would object to persuading a child to join a team as a job.

Even manual labor is more stable than playing games, right?

Thinking of this, Yu Su sighed.

"Why does it feel like the path of a CS (Counter-Strike) player is even harder than that of an actor?"

Upon careful consideration, Yu Su realized it was indeed true.

Actors at least have formal educational backgrounds, but gamers? It's already a miracle they haven't banned you.

They traveled in silence, and Yu Su put his mind at ease and returned to the hotel.

He hadn't forgotten his promise to Wang Churan to go to the film set with her.

When I got back to the hotel entrance, there were still a few fans squatting there with cameras.

Yu Su admired them greatly, but also felt a little sorry for them.

After all, waiting all day long and following celebrities for several years takes a lot of time and energy.

In later generations, they still faced the predicament of house collapse.

Today this brother's house collapsed, tomorrow that brother will be in jail.

Yu Su pursed his lips, shook his head, and walked into the hotel.

Back in my room, I washed up and stretched.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Su opened the door, and Wang Churan was standing there yawning.

The collagen of an 18-year-old is something no amount of cosmetics can match.

Sleepiness lingered on her fair and delicate face, but her almond-shaped eyes suddenly brightened when she saw Yu Su.

Yu Su even felt that at that moment, the brightness of her eyes was comparable to the flashbangs from University A.

Aren't you leaving yet?

"Let's go."

"..."

As the two left the hotel, Yu Su had just stepped onto his bicycle when a soft, warm body pressed against him from behind, and a pair of delicate hands appeared around his waist.

"What was that you posted yesterday?!"

As soon as Wang Churan got into the car, she let out a delicate scolding.

Yu Su was taken aback: "You saw it?"

"Of course!"

"They've all been pushed to my phone!"

Wang Churan does have an account, but she doesn't have many followers.

Originally, it was impossible to push it to her, but she couldn't sleep last night and took the initiative to search.

I almost died laughing after watching it.

"Aren't you afraid Dilraba will sue you for this?"

Yu Su chuckled: "It's alright."

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course, everyone does."
