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

Chapter 52 Are you NIko’s anti-fan?

Fatty: "Come on! It's just one loss. You still have a chance now that you've entered the loser bracket! Come on!"

Xiaoguang: "That's right! G2 is really strong, there's no shame in losing!"

Su Zhe looked at the two people comforting each other in the WeChat dormitory group chat and sighed heavily.

Their first failure in the professional arena came much earlier than they had expected. Nip finally entered the Katowice main competition, but in the first game they met the previous Katowice champion G2.

It also made Su Zhe understand the gap between his own team and the real first-line teams.

Before the game, es3tag was full of confidence, saying that G2 was a rather abstract team and the team most likely to fail among the top teams. However, he became obedient once he met them.

他们在这场Bo3中连一张图都没能拿下，m0NESY的一把大狙在这两张图中打出了64-22的恐怖KD，队内狙击手headtr1ck作为和m0NESY是同一批Navi练习生，在对位的情况下直接被薄纱了。

Su Zhe's position as a free agent is inherently dependent on his teammates. Although his unreasonable playing style caused some trouble for G2, the lack of frontal firepower left him with no time to find opportunities in most rounds.

Su Zhe replied in the WeChat group: "I'm fine, it's time to rest, I'm going to training first."

Fat Brother: "Yeah! I've seen your upcoming schedule. There aren't any ridiculously strong teams anymore, so your chances of making it to the knockout stage are still pretty good!"

Xiaoguang: "I'm still waiting for you to come back and give me an autograph! You played really well in the last two games!"

After reading the message, Su Zhe smiled and closed the chat history, then focused his attention back on the computer.

After the previous defeat, Nip and his team no longer had the cheerful look they had during training, and were obviously unwilling to be eliminated.

At that moment, Coach DJL walked into the training room. He clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and then said, "Let's put the basic training aside for now. Let's review the Falcons' demo today and prepare for tomorrow's game."

Just now, their opponent for tomorrow has been announced. It is the Falcons team, which was also defeated by EF (Eternal Flame) with a score of 2-0.

Su Zhe was confused when he heard the name of the team: "Falcon Team? How come I've never heard of it before?"

k0nfig explained: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. This is an Arab team, and it wasn't even a second-tier team before.

It’s just that we bought several professional players at the end of last year, so it’s hard to say how strong the team is now.”

Su Zhe was puzzled: "It's hard to say?"

k0nfig nodded. "This team currently has more Major titles than the top team G2 we met this afternoon."

Out of curiosity, Su Zhe took advantage of the coach's preparation time to log on to the official website to check information about the Falcon team.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

Wow, the team is not well-known, but the members in the team are very famous, such as the demon man who is known as invincible in frontal attack, and the sun god who became the nightmare of CNCS.

es3tag, who was standing nearby, had a blank expression on his face, but after hearing k0nfig's words, he froze and couldn't help but ask, "Are you a G2 hater or a Niko hater?"

Su Zhe understood the meaning of the words. The demon man had won four Major championship trophies by himself before.

Not only in the history of the G2 team, but even among the five members of the team, no one has ever won the honor of a Major championship.

The most unfortunate thing about Niko in the team is that when he joined Mouz nine years ago, someone said that he could at least win one Major trophy in his life.

As a result, three years have passed, and he still hasn't won the highest honor in CSGO.

k0nfig spread his hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense! I'm just telling the truth."

DJL cleared his throat and said, "Alright, focus a little bit. You don't want to go home without winning a single match after finally making it to the finals. The Falcons are a very strong opponent."

After he finished speaking, he saw that everyone's expressions had become serious, and then he and the team's data analyst began to talk to everyone about some of the Falcons' team's tactics and the personal habits of the five players.

A day flew by, and with the start of the Katowice tournament, the schedule became busy again. Within four days, the eight teams that would make it to the final knockout stage would be decided, and this was based on a Bo3 format in the first round.

At eight o'clock the next evening, Su Zhe and his teammates sat in the player seats again to prepare for the competition.

There will still be no spectators in the group stage in Katowice. Only teams that reach the quarterfinals of the knockout stage can enter the Spodek Arena in Katowice, which can accommodate 10,000 spectators.

At this time, Su Zhe was warming up in the Aimbotz map.

"Arrow."

"Huh?" Su Zhe heard headtr1ck calling his ID and turned his head to look.

headtr1ck said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't trick you again today!"

In yesterday's Bo2 match against G3, except for Su Zhe whose record was just above positive, the other four players were all red.

As the sniper who relies the most on economy in the team, headtr1ck is at the bottom of the five players and is the biggest reason for Nip's defeat.

Su Zhe understood what he meant, nodded, and continued to focus on the game.

Soon the referee walked up to the captains of both teams and announced the ban and map selection for this Bo3.

es3tag first banned Anubis as usual, and Falcon followed suit by banning Desert City.

"Choose the Small Town or the Death Building." es3tag was a little conflicted. Their win rate in these two maps was relatively low. It was Su Zhe's outburst last time that allowed them to defeat the GL team in this map.

Coach djL hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's pick the town. Our new lineup hasn't played the building map yet, so we're bound to run into minor issues during the match."

es3tag nodded and locked onto Purgatory Town as the first map, and Falcon followed closely and chose Death Amusement Park.

After another round of ban and map selection, both teams came to the ancient ruins in map three.

As the team entered the final preparation time, captain es3tag encouraged everyone, saying, "Keep going! No matter what the final result is! At least we must give our all and not leave any regrets at this annual Katowice event!"

"Come on! Come on!" Everyone in Nip gave a fist pump to encourage.

k0nfig even shouted at the top of his lungs: "Let's Go! Nip!"

Soon after the referee's notification, the ten players from both teams began to enter the server shown in Figure 1.

Map: Purgatory Town

Falcons: B0ROS, SunPayus, Magisk, Maden, Snappi
NIp: es3tag, k0nfig, headtr1ck, REZ, Arrow
They started as the attackers on their chosen map.

"Can't the time of this groovy competition be a little longer?" The guy playing the machine couldn't help but complain when he saw himself being woken up by the alarm at three o'clock in the morning.

"Then don't go to commentate. There are still a lot of games tomorrow." The "maid" on the side advised.

"If I go to sleep now, I'd be woken up for nothing." He said while playing with the machine and getting dressed.

Although he had some complaints, he still looked forward to Nip's game.

It's not just because Su Zhe is a Chinese player. He also didn't quite understand Su Zhe's playing style in previous games. But since he saw their last game with GL, he has developed a strong interest in it.

It’s like when you first start smoking, it feels uncomfortable and curious.

If I don’t come to commentate on this live broadcast, I always feel weird and uncomfortable.
