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

Chapter 22 Is This 259 a Human? (Update)
Wednesday, November 2023, 11.

The long-awaited CAC event finally had its first match in Shanghai today.

The reason for anticipation is not only because the world's number one Faze and number two Mouz will participate, but more importantly, there are three Chinese teams participating in this international event.

Everyone also wants to see what the level of domestic professional teams is now since the CS2 update.

Although players in major communities say that CNCS is not good, and its poor farming style is comparable to the Chinese national football team, deep down, who doesn't hope that CNCS can really get better?

Players now have more of a disappointed attitude towards their own teams. If they really don't care, they wouldn't even bother to scold them.

At 12 noon, after class, Fat Brother and Xiaoguang didn't even have time to eat lunch. They hurried back to the dormitory and waited for the start of the game with Su Zhe, whose vacation had not yet ended.

"It's almost time! Tianlu vs. ENCE! Ten minutes left!" Xiaoguang's face was filled with anticipation. "I wonder if Tianlu can improve after this formation change."

Pang Ge has been following CS games for a long time and knows a lot about some professional players:

"I can only say there's hope, but it's not great. Although ENCE has struggled since Leo left, their overall strength is still much stronger than T-Force."

Then he turned his head and looked at Su Zhe: "Have you thought about it? In fact, I think it's good to join the youth training team to hone your skills. All professional players have gone through this."

Su Zhe shook his head and said, "I've checked the information these days. It's been a long time since anyone from Tianlu was transferred from the youth training to the main team. If I went to the youth training, it would take at least two years before I could play in a game. It's too long."

Three days ago, he told the youth training coach that he needed to think about it and then returned to school. In fact, there was nothing to think about. The system's countdown did not give him that much time.

Now he is actually a little confused.

After excluding Tianlu, LVG is the only domestic CSGO club that has a youth training team. However, after checking the changes in LVG's lineup, he found that they are actually not much different from Tianlu.

He found that the current domestic teams were almost becoming a stalemate, with the lineups changing over and over again with only a few players. It was rare to see new players emerging, and even if there were, they were players who had been in youth training for several years.

Fatty said in confusion, "Ah~ I really don't understand you. Don't you know that even if it's a youth training team, there are countless players who want to get in? You first rejected NIP and then rejected Tianlu. Do you really want to play professionally?"

"You don't understand. I have my own difficulties. When did I reject Nip?" Now it was Su Zhe's turn to not understand.

"Have you gone crazy from playing CS:GO?! The other day, k0nfig messaged you asking if you wanted to go to Europe to play professionally, but you flatly refused."

"Ah? Does that count as an invitation?"

"Nonsense! Why would I ask you if I have no feelings for you! You've just been working out with me for a few days, how come your head is full of muscles!" Fatty got angry when he thought of how Su Zhe rejected Nip that day. What a good opportunity!

These domestic teams have always wanted to invite European teams to play training games, but they can't get them even if they pay. As a result, this guy directly rejected the team's invitation.

Su Zhe was a little embarrassed after hearing this: "I thought he just wanted to chat with me."

The main reason was that he had no familiarity or impression of k0nfig. If it was a well-known professional player like Niko, he would definitely chat with him for a few more minutes.

Su Zhe suddenly thought of something and asked Fatty, "So, if I want to go to Europe to play professionally, what do I need to prepare?"

"I think you need to change your mind!" Fatty was furious, but he quickly regained his patience and said, "The first thing you must do is learn English well, otherwise you won't be able to communicate even with basic skills."

"But even if you go to Europe to play professionally, you still have to go through the youth training stage. The process for domestic and foreign teams is similar."

Su Zhe didn't know much about foreign teams, so he asked, "All of them? Without exception?" "Uh..." Fatty thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there are some, like Zaiwu and Ropz."

"But this is different! Zaiwu has been a top-two player since his debut, and ropz is currently recognized as the world's best libero. I admit you have some talent, but how can you compare to him?"

"I see you..."

"Okay, okay! Stop talking! The game is about to start!" Xiaoguang interrupted Fat Brother.

When Fat Brother saw that the director had switched to the game screen, he no longer had the urge to preach and began to silently cheer for Tianlu in his heart.

"Learning English... a great talent..."

Su Zhe murmured a few words and then focused his attention on the competition. He also wanted to see with his own eyes how big the gap was between the domestic CS level and that of foreign countries.

Since the CS2 update, the game rounds have been reduced from 30 rounds to 24 rounds.

That is to say, except for the situation where the score is 12-12 and overtime is required, whoever gets to 13 points first will win, which also speeds up the progress of the game a lot.

Excluding the time for pauses and halftime breaks, the entire match between Tianlu and ENCE took only about 30 minutes.

The mood of Su Zhe and the other two also changed from anticipation to nervousness and finally to a glorious defeat.
"Fuck! Is this 259 a human? 7-16 KD, 0.46 rating? Even if Su Zhe goes up there, he'll play better than him!"

"And this Kaze's sniper can still miss!? A sniper with a rating of 0.53?"

Seeing the final result, Fat Brother couldn't help but rant: "Mo Siyu is so responsible! Even with a 1.55 rating, he couldn't even carry these four people! I'm really impressed! What kind of fight is this!"

The final score between Tianlu and ENCE was 13-7.

Although the score difference is not big, in the Nuclear Crisis map, even Su Zhe, who doesn't often watch games, knows that Tianlu was completely defeated in terms of tactics and personal strength.

In the first half, Tianlu was beaten with a score difference of 2-10. If Mo Siyu had not got two kills at the beginning of the pistol round in the second half and completed a 1V2 endgame, Tianlu might have been carried away long ago.

"Has the gap between domestic CS level and that of Europe always been so big?" Su Zhe asked in surprise. This was completely inconsistent with his impression!

"Oh~ You'll get used to it. It all depends on the performance of LVG and wings UP." Fat Brother felt much better after he finished spitting.

When everyone saw the third game of Wings UP, they couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so they all went back to do their own things.

There are a total of eight teams in the CAC competition. The domestic teams that occupied three places were all defeated in the first round, and this was without encountering Faze and Mouz.

When watching the game, Su Zhe couldn't help but put himself into the situation.

If I really join one of these teams and finally become a starter, how can I beat those foreign teams by playing with such teammates?
1V5... Can I really do it...

He silently took out an English book he had read a long time ago from his cabinet.
