CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

"Are those Nuko and Diguawan on the other side?"

The next day, at the Electric Snake Cup competition, the Orange team was once again assigned to box number eight.

Han Tian was slightly bewildered after looking at the information of the opposing player on the screen.

Du Sinian, who was preparing to analyze his opponent immediately, was both amused and exasperated upon seeing this.

On the other side was none other than his old teammates—Leon Kai's beloved disciple and two generals, nuko and Diguawan. Obviously, they had recruited three familiar streetball kings to form this team.

"I'm so stupid, I should have guessed that team name!"

Ekko covered his face because he had already seen the names of Nuko and Diguawan's team: "NiJiGen" was a line of Japanese Romanized text, which translates to "anime/manga" in Chinese.

"These anime-style characters are way too over-the-top!"

There's no other reason than that these two are both well-known otaku in the online gaming community.

Although they were old acquaintances, Du Sinian frowned slightly. Because he knew Nuko and Diguawan, he keenly realized that the draw for this event did not seem to be a good one.

A few days ago, Du Sinian noticed on the 5E Perfect World leaderboard that Nuko's five-player team was climbing the leaderboard like crazy. Their five-player win rate was terrifyingly high. They even matched with professional players a few times, but without exception, Nuko's team won every single time.

You could say that professional teams playing ranked matches is purely for fun, but to win twice in a row against a five-player team comprised of three professional players from the VG team, which has been performing exceptionally well in Chinese CS recently, is no small feat.

Moreover, in Du Sinian's opinion, although nuko and Diguawan may have shortcomings in other areas, they are undoubtedly the two top players in the current Chinese CS scene among semi-professional players.

"I hope nothing bad happens today."

Du Sinian waved to the referee to indicate that he was ready.

.....

The image selection process has begun.

"OG Orange Team bans Nuke and picks Mirage."

Just like yesterday, Du Sinian chose their strongest map – the Desert City, which relies heavily on rifle shooting skills.

"NiJiGen bans Train Station and picks Vertigo Overpass."

"[The decisive map for both sides will be Inferno, determined by random draw.]"

It seems that Nuko and his team excel at this map, but for Han Tian and his team, we can only say: they can play it, but they are not proficient at it.

"Don't let yesterday's video sway your thinking!! The match has started! Watch the match carefully!"

In a CS live stream on Maoya, Leonkai gestured to the viewers to stop spamming "genius boy" and focus on watching the match.

"Oh dear, Nuko and Du Sinian are fighting! One is my beloved student, and the other is my old teammate."

"Now, I really have to offer a neutral interpretation."

Leon Kai wore a slight smile, feigning some difficulty.

"Huh? Speaking of neutral commentators, what's Wan Chu doing? I don't think he's commentating on this event, is he?"

Leon Kai seemed to be craving something more sensual, as he suddenly decided to play with the machines.

"She's participating in a variety show on the seafood channel, host, go watch!" A comment floated across the screen.

At this time, both Maoya and Seafood had been acquired by Tencent, making cross-platform room checks much more convenient.

Leon Kai directly opened the live broadcast room of the seafood platform's variety show.

"Wanting to cross the Yellow River, but the ice blocks the way; wanting to climb Mount Taihang, but the snow covers the mountain!"

The man in the video, shirtless and already showing signs of weight gain, is sweating profusely as he plays with his machine. He is standing on the mountainside, which seems to be the Taihang Mountains mentioned in the poem.

"He Hongyu! He Hongyu! Where's my iced milk tea delivery?" Perhaps because the weather was really hot, Wanji's tone was a little impatient.

After waiting for a long time, no one responded. Only the photographer holding the filming equipment was chuckling, because the lens was obviously shaking slightly.

"Sigh! That maid has gone off to take pictures somewhere again." He sighed while playing with the machine, then strode over to the railing not far away, looking down at the lush forest below.

"Hiking is great! It's good for your health, and the scenery is beautiful. I should climb this mountain more often in the future."

A gentle breeze caressed the fat on Wanji's body. Gazing at the majestic Taihang Mountains all around, he suddenly felt as if he had a predestined connection with these mountains. "Perhaps, one day in the future, I will come back here again." Inexplicably, Wanji had a premonition.

Before he could immerse himself in the moment for long, a shout from the surrounding area interrupted him: "It's so cool! It's so cool! Living in the mountains is so cool!" Eggplant, a bearded man who was also shirtless, was standing by the railing just a dozen steps away, enjoying the breeze.

As if sensing murderous intent, Eggplant slightly turned its head back.

"Hey! Isn't that the CS:GO number one, Wan Shen?!"

"No, no, no!!"

The usually modest man playing with the machine quickly waved his hand.

.....

"Hahaha! These two are amazing! They're so entertaining!"

After closing the live stream, Leon Kai laughed loudly.

Live stream chat:

"Holy crap! That guy on the livestream was seriously fat! I haven't slaughtered pigs in years! But seeing this incredibly tall old sow today makes me want to go back to the business!"

"I'm making braised pork today because I have sugar (not Leon Kai) and pork belly (not playing with machines)."

"I have a question, does that guy with the thick beard in the live stream have a level 21 badge? No?!! Then why was he allowed to speak?!?"

.....

"Alright, alright, the match is about to start! Let's watch the match!"

Suppressing a smile, Leonkai began his neutral commentary.

"In the pistol round, the anime team picked T to start, and Long got a dual pistol right at the start. Oh? This formation?"

At this moment, after Han Tian arrived at the supermarket, he threw a smoke grenade into the B2 floor, and then he and Zhang Zhen, who was carrying two guns, went to the B2 floor one after the other.

After carrying Han Tian to the B2 balcony, Han Tian quietly hid behind the sofa and set up his gun. This position also allowed Zhang Zhenzuo to lure him away.

Originally, Du Sinian planned to let Han Tian equip dual pistols at the start, but Han Tian remembered his own white-quality dual pistols and resolutely shook his head.

"As you can see, the Orange team's move was an early setup targeting the B2 building."

"Point A is being defended by 3 CTs, it seems like this wave relies on the individual skills of Zero and Long."

Leonkai somewhat understood Dussian's thoughts.

"Let's look at Nuko's side. The main force has already moved towards B. There are teammates covering the rear in the sewers. It seems they're waiting for the smoke to dissipate on B2 before sealing off B and using the smoke from the supermarket to attack B."

Leonkai naturally had a complete understanding of his top disciple, Nuko.

"Haha, actually point B is a weak point to defend. After the smoke clears, Long's position is actually quite awkward."

"If Nuko and his team just focus on scouting and don't lose too many players, it will be very difficult for CT to retake this round."

After all, he had personally taught her, so Leonkai was confident in the details of nuko.

At this point, the smoke grenades on B2 began to dissipate, and Nuko and his teammates started detonating their grenades.

Supermarkets and B-brand cigarettes both made their moves.

"Bang bang—"

After two high-level flashbangs, the four-person T-side force immediately activated!

"Oh? After the sofa, Zero fired first towards B2, that's for Long Gou hiding on the balcony."

Han Tian, ​​with his gun on the sofa, first spotted a T who jumped out of the B2 window. Han Tian quickly aimed and fired two bullets, "Pfft, pfft—" hitting the bandit's thigh.

"One crippled on the outskirts!" The T who flashed by landed and jumped away, failing to get the kill. Han Tian was also a little helpless, after all, his USP was only of dark blue quality, and his accuracy was still a bit lacking.

"Sweet Potato Ball jumped down and survived, successfully sneaking into the outer perimeter! Nuko is about to reach the balcony! He searched it! Ahhhhhh, Nuko lost—"

During the commentary, Leon Kai looked very disappointed, and the chat started flooded with comments like "Neutral commentator x99".

On the balcony, Zhang Zhen, wielding dual pistols, did not sit idly by. After his teammate Han Tian on the sofa was spotted by the T who jumped out of the window, he immediately heard the footsteps of the T coming from the B2 building and decisively decided to pull him out and take the initiative to fight.

On T's side, Nuko was slightly distracted after learning that Diguawan had reported finding a sofa. Just as he was about to search the balcony with his right hand against the wall, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him...
