Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

Figure 5, a pearl in the deep sea.

"University A, the last one from University A! Ah!"

"...Nice try."

"Private Marseille, Ilya, I've dragged you down."

The score was now 15-13. Su Ming scratched his head in frustration, watching his team lose 2-3, having been reverse-swept by the opponent.

"This is the seventh time..."

Su Ming felt like he was a protagonist trapped in a time loop in some science fiction novels.

I have no idea how much time has passed in the outside world.

"This is too difficult."

Su Ming felt a little helpless.

The game is like a real world, with both sides in motion. This means that his information-based strategy will only be effective in the first two rounds at most. As the game progresses, the opponent's tactics and actions will become increasingly different.

As for repeating the same actions in each loop, that's even more impossible...

Anyone who has played FPS games knows that you only know whether your gun is soft or hard the moment you fire it.

When the gun is at its strongest, the skill is hard to replicate for a long time afterward; when the gun is weak, the lack of power leads to excuses like "sensitivity," "mouse pad," and "network card."

Even my Japanese teammates are like that. Even if it's the same action in two cycles, if they do it a second later, the result will be completely different.

In the game "Reminiscence," you can only clear the level by relying on your strength.

During the second round, Su Ming understood this principle and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the game, absorbing everything from Something and surpassing his past self.

The difficulties don't stop there.

Figure 4 Neon Town, Something chose to duel with Raz, and all of QTD team's tactics were based on this.

Su Ming couldn't be replaced at the last minute.

however……

"Something's bomb girl is a bit weak."

Rez, also known as the Bomb Girl because her skills are related to "explosion".

While watching the recollections, Su Ming realized that Something's Bomber Girl and his Jetpack were simply not in the same league. When he played Bomber Girl, he was just an average player, no longer possessing the flair and explosiveness he had when playing Jetpack, and even his shooting skills had dropped a level.

Even so, Something was still the MVP for his Bomb Girl game.

It still has a rich history.

'This guy is a true master of the Jetwind...' Su Ming tried it out, and when he tried to choose other agents, his body felt a kind of resistance.

The repeated failures did not frustrate Su Ming. On the contrary, through these cycles, he adapted to the rhythm and tactics of the professional arena, and to Something's whirlwind-like playstyle. He could clearly feel his own growth.

This strong positive feedback excited him immensely.

"Again!"

The eighth cycle begins—

-------------------------------------

Huya live stream room 116864.

A young man wearing glasses, whose appearance could be described as a "beggar's version of Wu Chun," was intently moving the mouse, practicing shooting continuously at the shooting range.

As the live stream began, comments gradually flooded in.

[They started practicing shooting as soon as the broadcast began, making it seem like a real shooter.]

[Su Shen, Su Shen, what's on today's show?]

Online, they call him God Su; I dare not imagine what they'll call him offline.

[I'll cause trouble if Yamazi isn't around!]

The young man is KarsaJ, also known as Su Di, who switched from CS:GO to the Valorant project as a streamer.

After Su Di finished practicing this round of shooting, he started replying to the chat: "Today, during the off-season, I'm going to duo queue with Qiu Shen and play some games on the national server."

This statement immediately caused an uproar in the live stream, with the number of comments surging.

Valorant's Chinese server has just launched, and the VCT CN region's slots haven't been finalized or officially established yet. However, a qualifying tournament was recently held, selecting three teams to represent the CN region in the 2023 Los Angeles Championship.

They are EDG, BLG, and FPX teams.

Among them, the most sought-after team is undoubtedly EDG.

In the qualifiers, EDG dominated all domestic teams with a record of only losing one game, continuing their hot streak from the Tokyo Masters.

The "God of Balls" is none other than CHICHOO, the player in the EDG team who plays the role of "whistleblower/secondary smoke sniper," and is also known as "Ball Ball" by fans.

Such a guest naturally brought a lot of buzz to the live stream.

"The God of Football has really made something of himself, actually playing games with me, God Su!" After reading this comment, Su Di's face showed a slightly silly Tang smile, and he laughed exaggeratedly, "I think you guys are really upside down, completely out of control! Hahaha!"

Can you stop that awkward laughing? You silly goose!

Su Di must think he's making a lot of noise on TV.

[If you're not going to read the beginning, then get lost! We just love this kind of cringeworthy stuff!]

Su Di awkwardly touched his nose, ignoring the comments on the screen. A moment later, an account with the ID "TL nAts" joined the room.

"Hey, Su-ge, can you hear me?!"

"I can hear you, God of Football!" Su Di perked up and laughed, "So, how about we start, go straight to the start or play a free-for-all?"

"Let's start right away." Qiuqiu yawned: "My hands are hot from the practice match, no need to warm up."

"OK!"

Su Di's account on the Chinese server was at Mythic III rank, while Qiu Qiu's account was a super account issued by the official website, with a hidden MMR starting at Mythic III. At this time, there weren't many high-ranking players on the Chinese server, and the two waited quite a while before they were successfully matched.

"Wow, that was fast!" Qiuqiu exclaimed.

Upon entering the game, the user with the ID "The Most Melancholy Person on the Entire Internet" locked in Jetwind with lightning speed, a speed that even Qiuqiu, who also wanted to play Jetwind, couldn't match.

After glancing at the map and seeing "Neon Town," Qiuqiu muttered, "This Turez is pretty tough. Watch me show off my bomb girl skills!"

As he said this, he quickly locked in the bomb girl, leaving the anonymous player 4 who had pre-selected Rena in an awkward situation.

Player 4: "Bro, is it viable to play with two level 1 breakthroughs?"

The Chinese server is still in its early stages, and current Chinese players have a relatively low understanding of the game. The skill and item rewards are pitifully low, and even in Mythic rank matches, there are still control positions that don't know how to use smoke grenades...

So how did they rank up?

The answer is marksmanship.

Many professional players who have played on the Chinese server feel that Chinese players have very accurate aim... Of course, the factor of certain "prodigies" is also involved.

And Rena is a hero who is extremely strong in gunfights.

Therefore, in almost every match on the Chinese server, there is a Rena.

The thought of not being able to pick Rena this game made Player 4 feel itchy all over and extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, bro!" Su Di said while locking up the security guard, "Double-level breakthroughs are really strong on this map! Haven't you watched the matches? Even professional teams have double-level breakthroughs on this map!"

"Fine then." Player 4 sullenly chose Shadow.

"Huh?" Qiuqiu said awkwardly in the room voice chat, "Brother Su, I can only say that my Bomb Girl is... okay! I might not be able to carry."

"It's nothing," Su Di chuckled, unsurprised.

After a full day of training matches, professional players usually come to ranked games to relax and recharge; only a minority actually play seriously.

For example, Qiuqiu likes to choose duels in ranked matches for fun.

Su Di doesn't play with professional players to rank up; he plays for the sake of entertainment. The more Qiu Qiu plays the bomb girl, the happier he is.

Our lineup is locked.

Jetwind, Reiz, Shadow, Skye, Security.

Upon entering the game loading screen, the opponent's lineup comes into view.

Jetwind, Reina, Shadow, Skye, and Nanny.

At this moment, the comment "the eunuch who relays the message" appeared in the live chat.

"There was a car crash. Hanghang and Daitohiko are on the other side."

"And there's cxy's Reina! He and Hanghang are duo queuing!"

"Wow, the All-Star game is here!"

At this moment, Hanghang and CXY also learned from the live chat that Qiuqiu and Sudi were on the opposing team. CXY, holding a rag in his hand, said in his slightly effeminate Guangxi accent, "Oh dear, it's God Su and God Qiu. Hang, we have to be serious. We can't let a professional player kick us to death."

"We'll have no problem dueling the Gemini!"

Hanghang replied casually, his gaze lingering on the opponent Jiefeng's ID. It looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. He laughed, "We also have Yanshen and KZHAO here. The other three seem to be random players, and Qiushen is even playing Bomber Girl! Haha, the advantage is on our side!"

cxy thought the same thing.

At this point, the skill level of random players on the Chinese server was really too low. The only reason they could compete with these high-ranking streamers who had returned from the Asian server was because there was no one else available. They could only compare themselves to the best among the worst.

How bad is he? Let's put it this way: Su Di, a CS:GO professional coach, is a man in his thirties who is currently at the top level in the Chinese server and can often swim in Mythic-enchanted dungeons. He truly deserves the title of "God Su".

All four of our own streamers are former professionals.

Putting aside Da Dongyan, Kzhao's marksmanship is quite exaggerated. This guy, who's almost thirty, is killing everyone in training matches. Many people in the community think he's using cheats.

Moreover, cxy felt that if he could play professionally, he wouldn't be any worse than those guys from EDG...

He failed to weather the licensing winter and made some mistakes; otherwise, he would have been a big star in the professional gaming world.
