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

Chapter 115: Still seconds! Still spinning!
"By the way, who is our next opponent?" k0nfig asked while doing eye exercises with his hands in the lounge.

DJL replied: "Not sure, there are still a few teams whose first round matches haven't finished yet."

There is no specific grouping in the Swiss round of the opening match, and random matching is done based on real-time results.

"I feel that the intensity of this opening match is not very high! There are not many particularly outrageous teams." headtr1ck said to everyone while lying on the sofa and browsing the event information.

Rez, standing nearby, laughed and said, "That's perfectly normal. Strong teams are generally in the Legends group. If we follow the Paris Major format, we should be able to directly enter the Legends group this time."

During the Paris Major, Valve still directly decided who could enter the Legends Group based on the ranking of the RMR event. As a result, there were many upsets in the last Major.

So after entering the Copenhagen Major, Valve also made some small changes and introduced the concept of world rankings.

This means that judging from the strength on paper alone, those strong teams in the traditional sense are basically in the legendary group.

DJL nodded and said, "Well, we still can't let our guard down. Besides, participating in the opening match will also be beneficial. It will put us in better shape, and when we advance to the Legends Group and face the top-ranked teams in the world, our chances of winning will be much higher. Maybe we even have a chance of making it to the Championship Group."

es3tag sighed and said, "The championship bracket is a bit too difficult, isn't it? When was the last time our NIP team made it to the championship bracket of a Major?"

As he said this, he looked at REZ, a veteran member of NIP. He became the starting member of NIP in 2017.

Being stared at, Rez scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. "It should be around 2015, I can't remember clearly."

This sentence silenced everyone. Has NIP not made it to the quarterfinals of a Major in nine years?
This also indirectly reflects how intense the Major events are.

Su Zhe looked at everyone who suddenly became nervous, feeling a little puzzled.

The past was before and the present is now.

Now we have entered the era of CS2, why bother about previous achievements?

Just as he was about to say something, the coach holding the phone suddenly stood up and said, "Our next opponent has been announced. It's...Team X."

6657 live broadcast room.

The comments in the live broadcast room are mostly pity.

Because just now, LVG, the only all-Chinese team in this Major, unfortunately lost to Team X.

[It's a pity for Starry, he was almost alone in C for the entire game]

[Good news, Starry looks like Niko. Bad news, she looks too much like Niko. Now she's like CNCs.]

[jee, this is too much! The sniper played a KD of 6-16, this poet? ]

[A rating of 0.45 and a rating of 0.6, they were completely blown away]

The player watching the barrage of comments sighed and said, "It can be considered a glorious defeat. The gap in level between LVG and the European teams is still too big. I hope they can perform well in the next round."

Although it is a miracle for LVG to enter the Major competition, Team X is indeed strong.

But losing the first round with a big score of 13-5 is still a bit disappointing.

As he spoke, he began to flip through the schedule. When he was wondering which game to commentate on next, he suddenly saw an interesting matchup. Team X's next opponent was NIP!

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said in the live broadcast room: "Brothers! I will commentate on this game later!"

[Oh my god! What a coincidence! Team X is playing against two CN teams today!]

Isn't NIP a Swedish team? How did they become a Chinese team?

When a team has three members from the same country, regardless of which country they are from, isn't Xiaozhe's current tournament data still enough to match those of three people in NIP?

【Top level understanding! 】

【Come on, Xiaozhe! Revenge for LVG! 】

During the discussion among the audience in the live broadcast room, Su Zhe and his teammates had already taken their seats, ready to play the second round against Team X, which had taken a short break.

At this point, you are ready to select the BP map.

Speaking of which, Team X is also their old rival. Su Zhe's trial opponent when he joined NIP was Team X.

BP officially begins.

In the BO1 match, Team X first banned Inferno Town and Death Amusement Park.

es3tag followed closely behind, banning Anubis, Nuke, and Mortal Kombat in succession.

After staying in Desert City and Ancient Ruins, Team X finally chose Desert City, where they had the highest win rate recently.

After confirming the game map, both sides began to enter the game server.

HEROIC: NertZ, TeSeS, kyxsan, nicoodoz, sjuush
NIP: es3tag, k0nfig, REZ, headtr1ck, Arrow
NIP started as the defender.

"I never expected this! Arrow on the opposite side was a complete newcomer just a few months ago." TeSeS said with emotion when entering the preparation stage of the game.

Team X was one of the first to know about NIP's new lineup. During the tryout, they just thought Arrow was too stupid.

It all depends on unreasonable and unconventional means to break the balance of the game.

However, he has now become the absolute core of NIP, and his current career average data is higher than any of the five of them.

The whole process is really a bit magical.

sjuush smiled and said, "Well, I've watched all his games recently, but it's not bad. NIP is only strong in one way or another, so it's still easy to deal with in the game."

Although Su Zhe's performance in the game has far exceeded his expectations, his current thoughts are still the same as they were a few months ago.

No matter how strong a person is, he cannot 1V5. He still believes that the overall performance of the team is more important than the individual performance of the players.

Team X's commander, kyxsan, said, "Then let's play well and try to beat NIP. Our goal in this Major isn't just to get stickers."

When saying this, kyxsan's tone was full of confidence, because the biggest reason why he was able to join HEROIC from the second-tier team Apeks at the end of last year was that he led Apeks to the semi-finals of the Major during the Paris Major.

It's only two steps away from the final Major championship.

"Hiss~ Glad I switched over to watch, otherwise I would have missed the pistol round. Okay, everyone, welcome to the second round of the Copenhagen Major group stage. I'm the commentator playing with the bot."

After finishing his opening remarks, the player playing the machine didn't say any extra nonsense and quickly focused his attention on the game.

"NIP's es3tag made a big move, giving k0nfig and headtr1ck a pair of pistols each. They also gambled on a 3B opening. Arrow, who was previously guarding the archway, moved to the B2 floor of the supermarket. It seems they think Team X might speed up their pistol round and attack B!"

"Team X had a default start, with people standing in A1 and A2, but kyxsan went straight to B2 with his thunder pack."

"The enemy bandits haven't come out yet! Be careful on both sides!" After REZ got the information from the middle lane, he returned to the jungle to help headtr1ck defend point A.

"Is the opponent going to attack A?" k2nfig on the B0 balcony shook his body a few times, but didn't see anyone, so he expressed his guess in the voice chat.

es3tag reminded: "Don't be too hasty, Team X isn't the type of team that likes to rush into a wave."

Before he could finish his words, k0nfig's voice came from the headset: "There's someone on the B2 floor! And they're carrying a grenade pack!"

After hearing this, Su Zhe at the supermarket window immediately focused his attention on the window on the B2 floor.

es3tag at the B bombsite yelled, "I'll throw you a B2 floor anti-clear flash, you pull out your dual guns and take a look."

After waiting for the flash to explode, k0nfig immediately took big steps forward, only to find that the bandits had retreated again.

"What's going on? Did they know we had more people at B?" k0nfig asked, puzzled. Su Zhe spoke up with his own speculation, "Did they try to gank B, but the sync wasn't right? Or maybe they're moving from the sewers to the middle lane again."

Their midfield was completely empty.

REZ said, "Then I'll take another look at the middle lane."

As he said this, he turned around and first looked at the path through the archway. After finding that there was no one, he looked at the small dark room and VIP from the jungle to see if there was any possibility of a double VIP on the opposite side.

After checking, he said in the voice chat: "No one is there. There are no people in the middle lane or at the bandit entrance. They are probably still on the sides."

As soon as he finished speaking, a kill message appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.

[headtr1ck killed sjuush with dual guns]

Headtr1ck, who was at the longbox, chuckled after getting the kill, then reported, "I killed one on A1, and no one was gunning for him on A2 either. I guess there's no one left."

es3tag also made his own judgment: "Then he's probably still at the back of B2, waiting for the second bomb to explode. REZ, you stay in VIP and watch the middle lane. Be careful of the opponents coming up from the side road to siege B together."

"OK!" After receiving the order, REZ moved around again to observe the information in the middle lane, but suddenly found that the bandits had reached the middle of the trail without him knowing when.

He fired two shots in a hurry, but missed the target and was shot in the head by the bandit instead.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and Glock didn't kill him instantly, but he also didn't dare to peek in the middle to get information.

Seeing this, Su Zhe jumped directly from the supermarket window to the B site, intending to withstand the defense of the alley and prevent Team X from successfully completing the double-team.

The low-health REZ also retreated from the VIP window to the supermarket entrance, intending to reinforce the defense of the B bomb site at any time.

As time passed, there were only 50 seconds left in the round. Su Zhe became suspicious when he saw that the bandits were reluctant to attack.

After taking a look at the small map, he suddenly shouted, "Watch out for the arch! The opponent might be trapping A!"

Team X's overall style may be a bit cautious, but they will never waste time on offense. They must have other ideas if they haven't made any moves for such a long time.

As he said this, he walked quietly out of the path and found that there was no one on the path.

Suddenly, he saw a bandit's head sticking out from the archway, and he instantly swung his sights over there.

"Puff~"

Arrow kills Nicodoz with a headshot using USP.

After getting the kill, he pushed forward again and saw the back of a bandit who had boarded the VIP. He quickly located him again.

"Puff~"

Arrow kills BertZ with a headshot using his USP.

"OH! Arrow's post-up! Who says the USP post-up isn't good for killing people instantly? And the timing of this forward push is perfect! If it was any later, Team X would have really completed the double-team at the A site!"

"But now kyxsan has already entered the jungle with the bag. He immediately blocked the cigarettes at the arch and quickly came to A bag to light the arch bag!"

"TeSeS from the A2 floor also came down, but was instantly killed by the masked man's dual guns from a distance!"

"Only kyxsan was left. He laid down his grenade and killed headtr1ck, then took down the low-health Rez!"

"Is he really going to spin? But Arrow from the arch has already come up through the smoke!"

"Puff~"

Arrow kills kyxsan with a headshot using USP

"It was a close call!" The player breathed a sigh of relief. "Team X's offensive strategy was quite good. If they had really double-teamed them, I bet A's NIP wouldn't have been able to hold on."

"And from the camera, Arrow was talking all the time. It seemed like he had his own ideas and wasn't just rushing forward rashly."

After winning the pistol round, DJL excitedly came over to fist-bump Su Zhe and praised loudly, "Top-notch judgment!"

Although they had a numerical advantage in the early stages, 3B's defensive position easily allowed Team X to regain the numerical advantage and complete the bombing. Su Zhe's move to push forward from the small path directly reversed the situation.

The gap in numbers was too great, causing all of Team X's early designs to go to waste.

After the pistol round, Team X, who had laid the bomb pack, immediately launched a forced gunfight.

The NIP team also understood this information, so they chose the conventional 212 defense in this round.

At the beginning of the game, Su Zhe came to the archway and controlled the middle lane with k0nfig in the alley to set up guns, but TeSeS who controlled the middle lane had very good positioning and got behind the sandbags early. Even if k0nfig threw a smoke bomb, he couldn't achieve a good effect.

After Su Zhe failed to get a kill in the middle lane, he did not choose to continue to wander around, but retreated directly to the jungle to watch the VIP to prevent the bandits from coming up from the double racks in the sewer.

"Arrow chose very cautiously, leaving only k0nfig in the side lane and TeSeS in the middle lane to fight. TeSeS and kyxsan quietly moved under the archway and double-teamed up to look for a kill on the side lane."

"Does k0nfig realize it? He didn't realize it at all! He was still looking at the bench under the VIP area, but he didn't expect that the archway would hit him!"

The deceased k0nfig hurriedly reported in the voice chat: "The opponent has an AK this round! The archway might go straight up!"

After hearing this, Su Zhe immediately stuck to the jungle wall and looked back and forth at the VIP and the archway.

Just now, es3tag was afraid that Team X would forcefully take over Building B, so he called back REZ from the A site to assist in defense, while headtr1ck stood in the sandwich position and watched Building A2.

Now that k0nfig in the small path is dead, he must prevent the opponent from coming up from VIP and clearing himself together with the archway.

Suddenly, headtr1ck heard A1's footsteps. He immediately pressed against the wall in front of Sandwich and said, "The bandit might have stepped on someone! Can you help me check?"

Point A, which was defended by two players, was full of loopholes, and Sandwich's position was indeed too limited.

After hearing this, Su Zhe immediately looked towards the place where the bandits jumped. Suddenly, he saw the bandits coming out of Building A2 in his peripheral vision, and he swung the crosshairs in a large range.

"Tetete~"

Arrow kills Sjuush with a silenced M4A1 headshot.

Su Zhe, who got the kill, was also relieved. Now he could free headtr1ck to concentrate on A1. He looked back and forth between VIP and the arch again, waiting for REZ to return to the A site.

After pulling out of the jungle to look at the VIP again, he suddenly saw the bandit stepping on him, and he positioned himself again with his crosshairs.

"Tetete~"

Arrow kills TeSeS with a silenced M4A1 headshot.

The moment he got the kill, Su Zhe immediately looked towards the archway.

As expected, Team X chose to double-pull and clear him together!
Su Zhe was moving all the time. When he saw the bandits coming up from the archway, he immediately stopped and controlled the mouse with his right hand to complete positioning and aiming.

"Tete~"

Arrow kills Kyxsan with a silenced M4A1 headshot.

"Still running out of seconds! It's spinning straight into the jungle! This is Arrow!"

"headtr1ck also took the initiative to pull out from the sandwich and shot down NertZ who was holding the Desert Eagle. Only nicoodoz who was holding the bird sniper with A1 was left!"

"Arrow picked up the AK that fell from the archway, stepped on the police jump and faced the gun head-on, and got another kill!"

"What kind of monster is this! He got seven kills in the first two rounds!"
