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

Chapter 84 Let’s Make a Bet
On the bus heading to the hotel.

Su Zhe leaned his head against the window and looked at the night view of Katowice. They had been in this city for more than ten days, and today finally came to an end.

Su Zhe recalled the game scene with G2 just now.

In three maps, G2 banned MiG and NIP only won one game in the small town in map two.

If G2 hadn't played to their traditional strengths and made too many decision-making mistakes in the small town, they might have been defeated 0-2.

At the moment of losing the game, Su Zhe didn't feel much, he just felt his head was empty.

It was only when I started to recall the incident afterwards that I felt an inexplicable emotion constantly entangled in me.

If only I were a little stronger
"Don't be too sad, it's us who didn't perform well." k0nfig, who was sitting next to him, looked at the depressed Su Zhe and said softly, "You have performed very well. If it weren't for your performance, we might not have been able to get a ticket to the main competition."

Although they are reluctant to admit it, this is the fact. If it weren't for the addition of newcomer Su Zhe, there is a high probability that they would not even be qualified to participate in the main competition.

You should know that in this Katowice event, even VP, BIG and even Team A were blocked from the qualifying round.

It's a miracle that they were able to make it all the way and even step onto the offline stage of Spodek Arena.

k0nfig wanted to say something, but was interrupted by es3tag who was pulling his arm behind him.

E-sports is a game of wins and losses. The taste of failure is something that everyone has to endure. It requires an individual to digest it slowly. It is useless to rely on the comfort of others.

Su Zhe shook his head and forced a smile, "I'm fine. I just didn't perform well enough. If I could get a few more kills, maybe we still have a chance of winning."

After hearing this, the others felt extremely guilty.

In fact, they didn't have any special feelings about this failure, and they were even very satisfied.

After all, being able to qualify for the knockout stage in Katowice has already broken the six-year record of their NIP team, which should be something worth celebrating.

DJL had already decided where to celebrate, but now he didn't know how to say it out loud.

Frustrated by the loss, Su Zhe wanted to go back to the hotel and sleep, but his stomach started to growl.

K0nfig, who was standing nearby, heard the noise and immediately understood. "To celebrate, and to help us better review and analyze the reasons for our failure later, let's go eat and replenish our energy. It's my treat!"

REZ was surprised and said, "Is this true? You're so stingy, but you're willing to spend money on a meal?"

"of course it's true!"

Su Zhe's eyes, which had been drooping, immediately lit up when he thought of food.

It was also a bus back to the hotel, but the atmosphere on G2's side was much more joyful.

At least they can guarantee a place in the top four, which is a good record for a top team like them.

After the celebration, nexa, who was standing nearby, recalled the match with a lingering sense of dread. "It feels like that new player named Arrow is growing so quickly! I got solo killed so many times against him today. It feels like he knows my gunplay so well."

As G2's free man, nexa mostly fought one-on-one with Su Zhe.

Coach TaZ rolled his eyes and said, "You call that being solo killed multiple times? You've basically never won in a disadvantageous position, and you've been killed multiple times in an advantageous position."

It was clearly said in a joking tone, and the other members of G2 couldn't help but laugh.

Nexa didn't care about this at all. He was still the deputy commander in the team. Anyway, there were two big legs in the team, so he didn't need to perform too well.

Nikko finished laughing and said, "Don't blame Nexa. That kid is really growing fast. Luckily, m0NESY was on top today, otherwise today's match would have been a bit of a cliffhanger. I thought he still needed two or three years to grow, but after meeting him again today, I think I was a bit conservative."

Today, Su Zhe's rating for the entire Bo3 was around 1.2, which was lower than him and the kid.

But you have to know that NIP was basically facing disadvantages throughout the whole process, and it was quite terrifying that they could still perform so well.

TaZ nodded and said, "I've done a lot of preparation before the game. This newcomer really has a bright future. If he can perform like this in the next Major, I think many top teams will want to recruit him. The overall strength of NIP is still too weak."

"I think NIP will either kick out other players to strengthen the team, or sell new players to make money and continue to play badly."

Generally, a team can only achieve good results if it has dual-core or even triple-core drivers.

In this way, when the opponent targets one person, the other person can also perform better.

Just like G2, as long as Xiaohai and Nikko perform normally, their performance in major competitions will not be too bad. But NIP, leaving aside Su Zhe, the other four players are not as strong as huNter-'s individual ability, so losing the game is just a matter of course.

However, the potential of this newcomer still needs to be tested in Major events.

After all, there are too many newcomers who have achieved amazing success right after their debut.

According to TaZ, some first-line teams have begun to show interest in Su Zhe, but most of them are still waiting to see how he performs in the Major events.

"Reinforce? Sell?" NIko couldn't help laughing when he thought of Su Zhe's three-month contract. "TaZ, do you dare to make a bet?"

"I don't gamble!" TaZ shook his head and refused.

Niko laughed and said, "The stakes aren't high. Just $100. I bet NIP won't build a team around this new player, nor will they just sell him off."

TaZ immediately retorted after hearing this: "How is that possible? I heard NIP wanted to change players before. Now that the new players have shown their performance, how can they not strengthen the team? I'm taking a gamble!"

Niko's smile widened. "Alright! The rest of you, be my witnesses! Don't let TaZ cheat when the time comes!"

Although Su Zhe said that there was no need to take care of him with food, DJL still took everyone on a long taxi ride to a hot pot restaurant with the "Mountain City Flavor".

REZ looked at the sign above and gave a wry smile. He had come to this hot pot restaurant out of curiosity when he participated in the Katowice competition a few years ago.

He forgot whether it tasted good or not, he just felt that his tongue had no feeling at that time.

"or."

Before REZ could finish his words, k0nfig, who was standing beside him, held his head down. He put his arm around Su Zhe's shoulders and said, "We've heard that this hot pot restaurant has authentic Chinese flavors. You're here to help us taste it."

After saying that, he took Su Zhe straight into the store.

After Su Zhe entered the store, he found that the people coming and going were all familiar domestic faces, so he thought that the food in this store must be pretty good.

After they sat down in the private room, at REZ's strong request, they finally chose the shuangyuan hotpot.

While waiting for food, DJL looked at the crowd and said, "Although our results in this tournament are already very good, this is far from our peak."

After hearing this, everyone in NIP focused their attention on the coach.

DJL said calmly, "After this tournament, I plan to give Arrow's position to the breakthrough player..."

This was something I had agreed upon with Su Zhe before, but I hadn't told the other team members yet.

After saying that, DJL glanced at k0nfig, who nodded and said, "I have no objection. In fact, I also feel that the position of slasher is not suitable for me."

es3tag: ...

He really wanted to complain, wondering who had said that he had to break through when he came to NIP.

DJL nodded and continued, "Then you will serve as the team's libero from now on. We can discuss specific tactical changes and resource allocation when we return to the club."

After that, everyone continued to wait for the soup base to be served.

Su Zhe looked at headtr1ck who was laughing so hard beside him and felt a little strange, so he asked, "Do you like hot pot so much? You're laughing like this before the table even starts."

After hearing this, headtr1ck calmed down and said, "No, I'm mainly happy about the prize money of this event..."

Based on their place in the top six, their team can get a prize of 4 US dollars. Although the team will have to take a cut, each person will still get about 5000 US dollars.

After Su Zhe heard this, the depressed mood he had just felt disappeared instantly.

5000 US dollars is equivalent to about 4 Chinese yuan!
Based on his current salary, it is equivalent to more than a quarter's salary. He has never seen so much money in his bank card.

headtr1ck came over and asked, "If you get this bonus, how are you going to spend it?"

Su Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Well... I'll probably buy a set of accessories I like, and save the rest."

headtr1ck said: "You are stupid. A good butterfly knife costs thousands of dollars nowadays. If you open the box, it's only a few dollars..."

"roll!"
