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

Chapter 39: I’m not dazzled, am I?

"Arrow, you're here so early again today?" headtr1ck said in surprise as he stepped into the training room with breakfast in his mouth.

In the past month, Su Zhe was always the first to arrive at the training room in the morning and the last to leave at night.

He originally thought that this newcomer was just passionate about joining the team, and would gradually become just like them, punching in and out numbly.

I didn't expect that even after a month, he was still working so hard.

"Since I can't sleep anyway, I came here early to practice shooting." Su Zhe replied without turning his head.

headtr1ck sat in a chair beside him, eating breakfast, mumbling, "I can't figure out if you're really addicted or just trying too hard. You're just like m0NESY."

Su Zhe smiled. He didn't understand himself either. He used to play CSGO every day but didn't feel addicted.

He quickly sensed something was wrong, turned to headtr1ck and asked, "Do you know m0NESY?"

m0NESY, also known as the kid in China, is a highly talented professional player.

Su Zhe had heard of this ID before he started playing CSGO. Currently, the kid is a sniper for the G2 team and a star among CSGO professional players.

The most terrifying thing is that he was only 2 years old when he joined the powerful team G16. He was definitely a genius among geniuses.

Last night, when he was using the "training simulation field", he used children as his opponents.

As a result, his AK couldn't break through the kid's sniper defense no matter what, and his reaction was not much slower than his current one.

After swallowing a mouthful of food, headtr1ck said, "Of course. We were both on NAVI's youth team back then. He was just like you now, spending every day in the ladder after training."

"The most promising ones from our youth training batch were him and b1t, and they were also the two who worked the hardest."

"But I feel that as long as you can persist like this, you will definitely not be worse than them."

Su Zhe shook his head: "How can I compare with others!"

headtr1ck tutted his words, "I heard you only started playing CS:GO this year. If we're just comparing talent, you're no worse than the other two."

After hearing this, Su Zhe smiled and said nothing.

Talent? The only thing I can compare myself to is hard work.

Since he has chosen to pursue a professional career, he certainly won't be content to be neither high nor low.

Before, he couldn't see any hope even if he tried hard, but now that he has the system, he naturally has to try his best.

While the two were talking, Nip and the other team members also arrived at the training room one after another, and a new day of training began.

After undergoing systematic training in a professional team, Su Zhe discovered the gap between ordinary passers-by and professional players.

It's not just the gap in teamwork, but more importantly, some details that he usually doesn't care about, which professional players will magnify infinitely.

In the words of coach djL: Don't underestimate these details. Any information you may inadvertently reveal during the game may be the key factor in the opponent's victory.

When controlling the map, what kind of props should be used in what time period, under what circumstances should defensive props be given, how to give them based on different information, and when to give them.

How should we control the map this round based on the weapons of our opponents and teammates?

All of these require systematic learning, and the whole process is more boring than when Su Zhe was in school.

This process needs to be carried out for about ten hours every day, and it is not only necessary to learn but also to apply it.

I can only leave work on time if I complete my training tasks every day, otherwise I have to work overtime depending on the situation.

In this case, it is normal for professional players to crush top players in the ladder if they are a little more serious.

It was only because of Su Zhe's unreasonable reaction and the abstraction of his teammates that he managed to win against k0nfig and es3tag once in the perfect ladder.

After everyone had completed the defense training in the evening, the coach clapped his hands and gathered everyone together.

He glanced at everyone and said, "Tomorrow we'll be heading to Poland to participate in the qualifying round in Katowice. This will also be a test of our training over the past few days."

DJL also clearly stated the reason for gathering everyone today, and then he said to Su Zhe next to him: "You are about to play your first game in your life. Are you nervous?" After hearing this, Su Zhe said calmly: "Not too nervous."

k0nfig noticed his little action and laughed out loud: "You said you weren't nervous? Why are you grabbing your pants so hard?"

Everyone started laughing after hearing this. They now liked this newcomer more and more.

If a person sees that others are more talented than himself, he may feel jealous.

But when you see that others are more talented and hardworking than you, all that is left is admiration.

At least they think they can't work as hard as Su Zhe.

Su Zhe felt a little embarrassed when his little thoughts were exposed, and immediately put his hands behind his back.

After laughing, DJL continued, "Don't be too nervous. Everyone can see the results of your recent training. As long as you perform well, you will have no problem qualifying."

es3tag chimed in, "Right. Your progress has far exceeded our expectations. Even if you don't perform well in the competition, that's normal. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Su Zhe felt warm in his heart when he heard these kind words.

But tension is not something that can be resolved with just a few words.

There are a total of 16 teams participating in the Katowice qualifiers, which adopts a double-elimination system.

After getting two wins, you will get a ticket to the S+ level event in Katowice. It sounds simple, with a 50% advancement rate.

This is also Nip’s main goal this time. As for how far they can go in the main competition, it all depends on luck.

Before, Su Zhe was not clear about the difficulty of this qualifying round, but when he saw the teams participating in the competition, he realized how naive his previous thoughts were.

You should know that the teams participating in the qualifying round this time are basically the best in each major region.

For example, C9 in the North American region, Black Panthers in the South American region, and some veteran European teams such as BIG, Green Dragons, etc.

Most of them are teams that Su Zhe had only seen in videos or live broadcasts.

This is the first competition in my professional career. I might meet some legendary teams. How can I not be nervous?

……

If you ask players who often watch the game which CS:GO event is the most valuable, they will probably say the Major event without hesitation.

But if we put aside the Major, the answer in players' hearts is also affirmative.

That would be Katowice, IEM Cologne, and the Blast World Finals.

In addition to the honors, the value of these three events is so great that some people even compare them with the Major.

As the first major competition in 24 years, countless CSGO fans around the world have turned their attention here.

Wan Jijia is a well-known CS:GO commentator in China.

The biggest feature of his commentary is his deep understanding of the CS:GO game, and he knows the past of all the players like the back of his hand. (50 cents a piece)
Thinking that the Katowice qualifiers will start tomorrow, Wanji plans to prepare in advance for some recent changes of the major teams.

Such a professional attitude is also the reason why he can attract a large number of fans.

"Hey~ This C9 team is so interesting. Who can still tell the difference between NAVI and C9 now? The electronic brother's command is too weird."

"When did the Green Dragon promote new people?"

"Huh? When did Nip become the new guy? Arrow? And he's Asian?"

"what?"

When he saw that Arrow's nationality was Chinese, he felt like he had seen a ghost.

"Oh my god, am I dazzled?" He rubbed his eye sockets vigorously, and then looked carefully again.
