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

Chapter 51: Facing the Unknown with Greater Strength
"Hello, donk!"

Donk looked crazy with his hands in his pockets, but he showed embarrassment when he saw Su Zhe, a complete stranger.

"Hello, um."

"Arrow." Chopper reminded.

"Hello, Arrow!" Donk smiled again and shook hands with Su Zhe.

Su Zhe's standard height is 1.82 meters, and his donk looks a little small.

However, what surprised him the most was that Donk would perform like this offline.

He basically practices facing guns with donk in the "training simulator" every night. In his impression, donk should give people a rebellious feeling, such as Moripo.

But now, after only a few minutes of meeting, the stereotype of Donk in his mind was overturned.

Su Zhe took the initiative and said, "I was impressed by your performance in the game. I often watch your first-person perspective to learn."

After hearing this, donk scratched his head awkwardly, looking a little overwhelmed.

When Su Zhe was wondering, Chopper next to him came to the rescue: "His English is not very good."

So Chopper translated the words into Russian for Donk.

Donk smiled again after hearing this and responded, "Thank you for your recognition. I still have a lot of areas that I'm still learning."

Su Zhe:......

Wow, you’re even more humble than me!
The two teams didn't talk much after they met, because they had just finished the game and were anxious to eat, so they each returned to their own team's bus.

However, what Su Zhe didn't expect was that the handshake scene between him and Donk was captured by some fans outside the venue.

It will be published in a few months with the title "The First Meeting of the Two Great Bulldozers of CS2"...

……

On the bus.

k0nfig asked Su Zhe beside him curiously, "Why do you seem to be very familiar with that new guy, Green Dragon? Have you known each other before?"

Su Zhe was stumped by this question. How could he not be familiar with others when he was bullied by them every day?
He hesitated for a moment and then evaded the question, "I've encountered this a few times before in the ladder, but they obviously didn't remember my ID."

k0nfig nodded after hearing this. "I see. How's his individual skill level? Is he a rising star like they say on HLTV?"

Su Zhe nodded: "Very strong!"

In his recent head-to-head battles with "donk", he has gone from "watching a horror movie" to having a winning rate of about 20%.

However, he did not feel frustrated because of this. Instead, it aroused his competitive spirit even more.

After all, it has only been more than three months since he obtained the system, and the speed of his growth is visible to the naked eye. He believes that he will be able to defeat this opponent one day, and it won't take too long.

k0nfig was a little surprised when he heard this. You know, in the last two games, Su Zhe gave the opponent the evaluation that "the opponent's frontal ability is not good enough".

As a result, the newcomer donk was given a very high evaluation as “very strong”!
es3tag, who was sitting in the front row, overheard the conversation and turned around, smiling. "You're a newbie! It's normal to perform well in the first few tournaments. Once the other teams have figured you out, it'll be hard to win. Arrow, you need to be prepared to be targeted in the future. Don't lose your confidence when that happens."

Su Zhe nodded after hearing this. Although he didn't quite understand, it sounded reasonable.

After all, he has not yet encountered a team that can defeat them at the team and tactical level.

After everyone returned to the hotel and put down their peripherals, DJL fulfilled his promise and took everyone to a local Polish restaurant.

Su Zhe was silent as he looked at the dumplings served by the waiter.

When djL saw the dumplings on the table, he urged Su Zhe, "Hurry and try them! I ordered them especially for you. You haven't been back home for several months. See if they taste like home."

Su Zhe nodded and picked up a dumpling with a fork. After taking a bite, he found that it was sweet!
He took a look at the dumpling filling and found that it was made of white cheese and raisins.

DJL asked: "How is it? Are they the same as your Chinese dumplings?" Su Zhe: ...

He looked at DJL's expectant expression and gave him a thumbs-up: "Good! Haochi!"

"But next time you have the chance to visit our country, I can take you to eat more delicious dumplings."

k0nfig smiled and said, "Looks like we'll be able to eat it soon. After Katowice, we'll go to your country, China, to attend IEM Chengdu."

"Last time I went to your country, I ate at KFC for days! This time, we have a local like you, so you have to take us to try all the delicious Chinese food!"

Su Zhe couldn't help but find it a little funny after hearing this. This might be because the three meals a day are different, and it would be impossible to eat them all even in a year.

After finishing their meal, everyone returned to the hotel to briefly review today's Bo3, and then went to rest.

……

……

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

REZ happened to pass by the training room and found that the lights inside were still on. When he pushed the door open, he saw that Su Zhe was still playing in the ladder.

Although we defeated GL in today's Bo3 with a big lead in both games, we didn't consume much energy.

However, being able to play CS:GO during free time outside of daily training is not something that ordinary professional players can do.

The normal practice for most professional players is to train when it is time to train. It is enough for them to complete the training tasks assigned by the coach and maintain their competitive state.

Just like ordinary workers going to work, being able to complete their shifts without slacking off is already considered a model worker. Do you still want people to voluntarily work overtime?
"You go and rest first. I'll play a few more ladder games and do some other training." Su Zhe had just finished a ladder game and turned around to respond.

"We have a day off tomorrow, so you can rest early and play again tomorrow." REZ reminded.

After qualifying for the main competition, they have two days to prepare, and the first round opponents of the main competition have not been announced yet, so coach djL announced that everyone can take a day off to relax.

Su Zhe smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm going to rest soon."

He didn't do this extra training on purpose for his teammates to see. It was mainly because es3tag's reminder today made him check the data of many new players.

An inexplicable sense of tension also rose from the bottom of my heart.

He found that many new professional players who joined the field either disappeared directly or their data began to decline sharply after being targeted by the opponent after playing a few games.

Even Niko, who is now known as the "first step in the world", did not have very good data at the beginning after he transferred from his hometown CS team to Mouz team.

It was only after gradually accumulating experience in major competitions that they began to gradually dominate the field.

Su Zhe didn't know if he would become like this soon, but he still felt inexplicably unwilling in his heart. In the face of unknown circumstances, he wanted to face them with greater strength.

What's more, when he carefully checked the team information of his defeated opponents ENCE and GL, he found that these two teams are now outside the top 30 in the world rankings.

The domestic LVG team has a higher world ranking than them.

REZ felt a little emotional as he looked at the young man in front of him. He had been a member of Nip for nearly seven years.

When he first joined the team, he worked as hard as Su Zhe. However, after realizing the talent gap between himself and other players like Zaiwu and Senpo, he gradually gave up his efforts and just wanted to make a living in this professional circle.

If I had been able to persist like this a few years ago, would I have been able to become a star professional player...

Feeling quite touched, he also sat next to Su Zhe and turned on the computer, but after entering the shooting map and killing hundreds of bots, the feeling of boredom came again.

After a moment of hesitation, Rez finally chose freedom over boredom. He thought, why should he suffer like this when he is 25? He should leave the opportunity to the young people...

"Don't stay up too late. Health is the most important thing." REZ patted Su Zhe's shoulder and got up and left.

The training room, which had occasionally been filled with communication just now, became quiet again, with only the sounds of mouse clicking and keyboard typing.
