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

Chapter 139 Those who are not dead will win (please give me a monthly ticket, there will be another chapter later)
"Steel Helmets? What kind of team is this?"

Sitting in the coach's seat, Taz looked at the list of tomorrow's matches with a frown on his face.

He had felt relieved when he saw that his first-round opponent was Monte.

After all, the two sides have a record of confrontation and know some of each other's playing habits. Their overall strength is also average, which is a good opportunity for their new lineup to be run in through actual combat.

As it turned out, it was already the day before the competition, and they were still taking final photos today, but the organizers suddenly informed them that their opponents had changed.

Fear comes from the unknown.

Even though he heard that this was just a team composed of former professional players with an average age of 31.2 years old, there was still a certain probability of failure if he had not studied the opponent's playing style.

After all, in professional competitions, the decision of victory or defeat is more determined by the cooperation between teams.

Some small teams always like to study strange props and tactics, and if you are not careful, you may really fail.

"Oh~ Let me work overtime so that I can study the demo of this team carefully." Taz sighed and started to log into the official website of HLTV to download the demo.

But when he checked the game demo of the Helmet Team, his brows furrowed again.

"Huh? Why haven't there been any game demos for this team in the past two months?"

He flipped through the pages and found that he had typed the team name correctly!

Taz helplessly shouted to the side: "Niko! Stop fighting to the death! Come and help!"

Niko took off his headphones and came over, asking, "What's wrong?"

Taz pointed to the computer screen and asked, "Are you familiar with this team?"

Niko took a closer look. "Steel Helmet? I've never heard of it before! Who are the members of the team?"

Although other people's first impression of him is that he is a funny guy and he likes to joke with his teammates in daily life, he is absolutely serious about his attitude towards professional competitions.

Niko took the mouse from Taz and looked directly at the helmeted team member.

"Captain Mo? DD?"

Looking at the familiar ID, Nikko's thoughts began to wander, as if he had returned to six years ago, when he was still working as a component of a bank warship.
"WTF? Isn't this the roster of Tianlu from 18?! Why did they form a new team? I know some of them, but we haven't played against each other in years..."

He then looked through Steel Helmet's historical battle records and found that there was indeed no demo to refer to.

Suddenly Niko remembered something and turned around and shouted, "Arrow! Stop fighting with your crappy ladder! Come over here and show you something good!"

"Don't worry! These are the last two rounds!"

After a few days of getting used to each other, Su Zhe gradually became familiar with the G2 team.

None of them have particularly difficult personalities to get along with, and Su Zhe had led NIP to defeat them once before. Everyone in G2 still recognized Su Zhe's personal strength.

So he integrated into the team very quickly and now they often joke with each other.

After waiting for a few minutes, Su Zhe took off his headphones and walked over, asking curiously, "What good stuff?"

Niko chuckled and said, "With another Chinese team joining the IEM Chengdu tournament, your country's chances of winning have increased."

Su Zhe:......

He glanced at Niko and said, "Win the championship? If I can make it to the knockout stage, I'll go straight back to CNCS glory after this tournament."

Then he asked, "Which extra team is it? RA?

After joking, Niko got down to business.

When Su Zhe heard that Steel Helmet was their next opponent, he couldn't help laughing:
"Old Captain? DD? 18ym, have these guys played more than 30 hours of CS:GO in the last two weeks?"

"My suggestion is to just watch their demos from a few months ago. If you search for recent matches, you'll probably only find King of Fighters demos."

Niko & Taz: ???
What the hell is the King of Fighters demo?

----

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was the day when the IEM Chengdu station officially started.

The official IEM event staff are also good at creating show effects, and actually arranged the match between G2 and Steel Helmet as the opening game.

csboy live broadcast room.

Although the game hadn't officially started yet, Masisi couldn't help but laugh:
"Hahaha, when Mo called me yesterday and said he was going to Chengdu to play a game, I didn't believe him, but he turned out to be serious."

"But they faced G2, who had Niko, Zhe, and a kid, in the first game. It was really hard for them!"

"One point is no loss, two points is a win, and three points means we are the champions, okay."

[Hahaha, Mo and DD are back to compete in the 5th Intel Grand Slam after 6 years]

[What's that cabbage swaying behind me? Is that today's menu?]

[Is this a competition? This is clearly a challenge to hold back your laughter!]

[Ah~ Now I am very satisfied to see the ID captainMo appear in the competition.]

[The 30-year-old veteran is still fighting, the 24-year-old is hiding at home and making money, Danking, where are you?]

[Ma Dongdong, why don’t you become a coach? ]

Ma Xixi glanced at the comments in the live broadcast room and laughed, "Why would I become a coach at my age? I'd better leave this opportunity to become famous to Bai Cai."

"Oh? The game is about to start! Let's see what the Bo1 map is."

After a series of bans and selections by both sides on the scene, the final map chosen by both sides was the Ancient Ruins.

Mo entered the competition server after being notified by the on-site staff.

When he saw the IDs of several members of the G2 team, he couldn't help but feel a little despair in his heart.

"ArrowNikom0NESY"

With G2's current lineup, even if they bring in the peak Tianlu from 18, it still wouldn't be good enough, right?
DD, who was chewing a nut nearby, noticed something was wrong with Mo and jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Mo was also unconvinced and said stubbornly: "I'm afraid of nothing, it's not like I haven't played in international competitions before, what's there to be afraid of? It's just a small G2!"

When he saw DD, who was "tsk tsk"ing in disbelief, he said helplessly, "Well, I'm a little panicked. With G2's current lineup, anyone who comes here would be scared."

Ever since Arrow decided to temporarily replace G2 in the competition, even many foreign media have said that although G2's Breath did not play this time.

But in terms of overall strength, the current G2 team may be stronger than it was in the Major.

In the past, the team relied on m0NESTY and Niko to help the team open up the situation.

And now with Arrow joining, the team now has three output firepower points!
As long as one person is in good shape, the team's results will not be too bad.

If the three teams opened fire together, Mo didn't dare to think that any team could withstand it.

For a G2 like this, what's the difference between hitting their helmets and a father hitting his son?
DD said disdainfully, "It's just a loss! It's like no one expected us to win. Why don't we just be happy and treat it as a trip?"

On the other side, Xiaosa Ge also laughed heartily and said, "That's right! What's there to be afraid of?! It's already a great honor to be able to participate in an S-level competition. Just do your best."

Seeing his teammates all having the same mentality, Mo also laughed: "Are they afraid that we won't get a single point and will get our heads shaved off?"

"But getting shaved by G2 isn't such a loss, so let's just be honorable in defeat for once."

"come on! Come on!"

Map: Ancient Ruins

Helmets: captainMo, DD, AE, 18ym, xiaosaGe (Xiaosa Ge)

G2: Niko, nexa, huNter-, m0NESY, Arrow
G2 started as the defensive side.

After all ten players from both sides entered the competition server, the opening match of IEM Chengdu officially began.

During the preparation time, Niko suddenly said to Su Zhe: "Arrow, do you want to give them some slack?" After they found the Steel Helmet Demo on the 5E platform yesterday and studied it, Niko also had a general understanding of the strength of the team composed of this group of old soldiers.

Even if I don't give any specific commands and just start with the default settings, I can still win the game easily.

Since we are playing in China now and there is a Chinese named Su Zhe on the team, it makes sense to give up a few points to save face.

After hearing this, Su Zhe smiled and shook his head and said, "No need, just do it as it should be."

NIko raised an eyebrow and joked, "Oh? Are you so cruel?"

Su Zhe responded seriously: "I think giving my best is the only way to respect them."

Niko smiled and nodded after hearing this and said, "OK, I understand."

I also felt a little more favorable towards Su Zhe in my heart.

After that, he simply arranged the positions for the pistol round, and the preparation time was just over.

"OK! Let's take a look at the pistol round! Steel Helmet's attacking team chose to gather five people at Gate B at the start. It seems they're planning to go all out with explosives!"

"G2 just happened to start with a 3B position. It all depends on how both teams perform in the last-shot phase."

Fun aside, Masisi is still very serious about commentating on this game.

"The Steel Helmet's side has started exploding. They're sending smoke to the small dark room and fire to the pillars. Are they planning to charge directly to the first and second barriers?"

Brother Xiaosha, who was walking in the first position, rushed forward from the B diagonal position as soon as he heard his teammate give the props.

Then I saw a burned CT machine crawling into the smoke of a small dark room behind the pillar.

Seeing this, Xiaosha Brother excitedly shouted, "The buns are sold out! Come on, come on! Hurry in! Just keep an eye on the first and second lanes and the small dark room!"

As a result, just as he finished reporting the information to his teammates, he heard the sound of two guns firing from the position of the bomb site groove.

"How could there be no points to search for?" Ma Xixi looked at the discipline in the helmet and smiled helplessly. "The kid in the groove directly shot off Brother Xiaosha's side with his double guns. How many more can these double guns collect?"

"Oh! 18ym's gun is good! A Glock shot at close range! The two sides only exchanged one for one! The helmet made a huge profit!"

As the child in front fell, the helmets quickly gathered together and entered the B site.

Niko in the second position dodged the first wave of props and pulled out to look for an opportunity to finish off the enemy, but he only managed to knock down DD before being shot by AE.

huNter-, who had just entered the small dark room, wanted to mix in the smoke and get a good timing, but ended up running into 18ym's gun.

"Steelhelm's playing feels pretty good today. He actually won by last-hitting in the early game! Does that mean... he's going to win the pistol round?" Masisi's tone was full of anticipation.

Although he repeatedly emphasized before the broadcast that he would be absolutely neutral today, he still hoped that Steel Helmet could score more points when he knew he could not beat G2.

In the 2V3 endgame, all three G2 players defending the B bomb site have reached the bottom.

Su Zhe, who was standing at VIP at the beginning of the game, had already started to defend with nexa who was standing at single A.

He looked at his teammates falling to the ground one after another and thought they really let up, but then he thought about it and it made sense since it was G2. It was normal for them to be slow in the game and not have the chance to shoot at each other.

After all, there really isn't much to do in a pistol round.

At this time, Steel Helmet's bomb pack had been buried. Su Zhe, who returned to the first position to defend, first peeked at the bomb site from a position.

After realizing that no one was around, he said to Nexa who was following behind him, "You stay in one lane, I'll go to the second lane, and we can cross paths anytime."

Nexa did not refuse Su Zhe's temporary command and said okay.

After Su Zhe arrived at the second position, he and Nexa moved forward together.

He first aimed at the location of the small dark room and moved forward. Suddenly, when he saw a bandit coming out from the nearby bunker, he instantly swung the crosshairs over.

"Pfft~"

Arrow kills AE with a headshot using USP

After getting the kill, Su Zhe quickly moved his crosshairs to the small dark room in advance, and sure enough, he found that someone came out to shoot him again in the second time.

He didn't hesitate and quickly carried out secondary positioning and fired.

"Puff~"

Arrow kills Captain Mo with a headshot using USP.

Su Zhe, who got a double kill, immediately said: "You go to the small dark room! If there is no one there, just dismantle the package! I will build the ramp!"

After hearing this, nexa took big steps forward, quickly searched the small dark room and found no trace of the bandits, then squatted on C4 and pressed the E key.

18ym, who was at the bottom of the B slope, was also a little scared after seeing all his teammates died. He was still in the advantage just a second ago, so how come he was the only one left dead?
After hearing the sound of unpacking, he paused for two seconds before choosing to pull it out.

As soon as he emerged from the water, he saw the muzzle of a USP gun pointed at him.

"Pfft~"

Arrow kills 18ym with a headshot using USP

"How can we lose like this? Arrow was a bit too ruthless!" Masisi laughed at the situation.

"There's nothing we can do. This young man's positioning and reflexes are simply beyond the capability of a helmet to withstand!"

【Xiaozhe: Respect! 】

[The attack was indeed a bit too ruthless, and the eyes of all the old men were cleared.]

[Hahahaha, Mo was even laughed out loud. Bai Cai behind him was ready to celebrate, but in the end, Xiaozhe got a triple kill.]

Mo was indeed made to laugh, but it was just a helpless laugh.

When I was commentating on the game before, I just felt that Su Zhe was a guy with accurate positioning and quick reaction.

When I met him as an opponent in the game today, I really felt the pressure of shooting.

DD smacked his lips and said, "That's a bit too harsh. He was able to be the big brother in NIP and lead the team into the Legend Division before. He really has something."

Mo shook his head: "Isn't that nonsense? Do you think those foreign teams are stupid? Without some strength, you can't even get in, let alone start."

"But don't be too anxious. It's just a pistol round. I don't believe we can't get two or three points today."

After losing the pistol round, Steel Helmet chose pure E, and huNter- also had his own highlight.

After hearing the sound of Glock firing at the entrance of the small dark room, he rushed out immediately, killing everyone with his MP9 and getting four kills in one wave.

Just when Mo thought the game would get better as it entered the rifle round, the pressure on him became greater and greater.

After entering the first spear round, Su Zhe and Niko came to push forward in the middle lane.

After the two of them took control of the bandit group, they directly stepped onto the platform and launched a rapid counter-attack by Company B.

Mo and his teammates were still discussing whether to take control of the small dark room when they heard someone hitting their head.

Niko and Su Zhe's duo firepower directly brought a wave of kills to the upper right corner, and the three men in the Steel Helmet were wiped out in an instant, leaving only the two people in the bandit's mouth who were planning to cooperate and were also very embarrassed.

"It's not dead! Come on in the next rifle round! If you can get one point, you win!"

Mo, who lost another round, continued to encourage his teammates through voice chat.

But sometimes, a good mentality cannot determine the direction of the game.

First, Niko and Su Zhe both scored, and then the kid's sniper skills gradually became hot.

In many cases, before the tactics of Steel Helmet and his men could be launched, they were counter-cleared by G2 members at the B gate or the bandit entrance.

Mo watched the score gap at the top of the screen grow little by little, and gradually fell silent.

Until the score was fixed at 0-8.
