CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

At seven o'clock in the morning, the cicadas were already chirping, a sound that evokes the spirit of July.

Passing through rows of buildings with neoclassical exteriors, the European-style musical fountain behind us was not yet turned on, presumably because the management staff were still on their way to work.

"drop--"

Han Tian swiped his card to enter the club lobby and continued walking deeper into the area, which led to the training rooms on the first floor.

He is usually the first member to arrive at the training room every day. When there are no matches, Han Tian arrives at around 7 a.m. and doesn't get ready to go home until around 10 p.m.

Ike often complains that Han Tian is a complete tyrant, working over ten hours a day and not treating himself like a human being.

"Sigh~"

Seeing the door to the training room ahead, Han Tian knew that another day of grinding for proficiency was about to begin.

I only have 50 points of [Proficiency] right now, and my backpack is full of [Master Class] items and weapons waiting to be upgraded. It's not enough, not nearly enough.

"Squeak—"

After opening the training room door, Han Tiancai discovered that someone had arrived even earlier than him.

"It's been almost four years since the funeral, hasn't it?"

"Yes... time flies. Our teams might meet in a few days."

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the training room, the morning sunlight shone on Du Sinian's silver metal glasses, reflecting off the glass as tiny points of light.

"That's good... there shouldn't be many people in the cemetery now."

Hearing the door open, Du Sinian turned around and looked at Han Tian with a slight surprise.

"That's all for now, see you later."

Han Tian watched as Du Sinian turned around in front of the French windows and realized that his clothes were completely different from usual.

A pure black striped suit with a snow-white lining, even the tie was pure black.

His very solemn attire, combined with the content of the phone call just now, led Han Tian to speculate that the captain might be going to sweep someone's grave.

"I've heard from Ike and the others that you arrive around 7 a.m. every day."

Du Sinian smiled at Han Tian at the door, "Come in, I have some things to take care of today, so I got up two hours early."

Han Tian gave a brief greeting to the captain, Du Sinian waved to Han Tian, ​​and strolled out of the training room, seemingly having something to attend to.

Han Tian wasn't a gossip-loving person; he just wanted to get GO going as soon as possible.

Opening the Perfect World 5E platform, Han Tian remembered the 80 yuan reward he received from a live stream a few days ago, so he started a live stream as well, still pointing the camera at his hands.

"Alright, let's start grinding for proficiency."

With all eight maps unlocked, Han Tian hummed a song as he started his first ranked match of the morning.

"[Defeated, Proficiency +5 points]"

"[Defeated, Proficiency +5 points]"

.......

"I'll hit your M!"

Han Tian was devastated during his first ranked match. He lost four straight games in a row on Perfect Match, and his teammates were all silent and didn't call out enemy positions. From the camera angle, they looked like bots. Who were these people playing ranked matches this morning?

"Why don't you take a look at your own insane rating first?"

Ike, who had just sat down, reminded Han Tian.

Han Tian opened his personal panel: Perfect rating 1.75, 5Erating 1.73, both with a win rate of around 80%.

"In short, because you were too overpowered, you've been punished by the system!"

"What should we do then?"

"Let's team up, bro! Anyone want to join for 5E?"

Ekko just opened a ranked game and turned to invite Han Tian.

"Beep beep beep—"

Map: Purgatory Town, match successful, 5E average score 2850.

"Hey kid, look—that's the ID on the other side called 'Demon Prince'."

Ike seemed to have discovered something new and interesting; he pressed his face against the screen and quickly told Han Tian to click on it and take a look too.

Open the "Demon Prince" 5E homepage, rating 1.54, specializes in the Awp weapon.

Han Tian continued reading the small print below the profile picture: "Current professional player of TyLoo CS Division".

"Skilled with snipers, currently active with TyLoo? Could it be Dan..."

"Hahahaha, Egg Dog! Finally, it's your turn in line!"

During the warm-up phase, Ike greeted everyone in a friendly manner on the public voice channel.

"Who the hell are you, bro? How dare you call me Egg Dog?"

A slightly hoarse but powerful voice came through the audio.

"I'm your father! Your beloved father!"

"What?! You guys are in a competition? You're eliminated so quickly?"

Han Tian chuckled. It seemed these two had known each other for a long time, their personalities were always bickering, and they even clicked perfectly. It was definitely true love.

I vaguely remember that Ekko mentioned that he and Danking were teammates for a while in TyLoo's youth academy, so it's understandable that the two are so close.

"What are you barking about, you dog? Come to the offline tournament in two days to cheer on your dad! Did you hear me?"

This short, blond guy, he doesn't even watch his dad's game? And I treated him so well during youth training? Ike was furious.

"Hahaha! Just kidding, buddy, of course I watched the game. I even saw someone developing the i11 on stage. Stop talking about it!"

Ekko immediately lost his temper and didn't want to talk anymore, it seems that Danking's laning ability is slightly better.

"And your team has a super-powerful carry, I think his name is Zero?"

In the TyLoo training room, danking, who was playing ranked matches while streaming, released the voice chat button and subconsciously switched to the Tab key, wanting to see if there were any other familiar faces besides Ekko in this game.

"Zero? I'll take him too?"

With a hammer stuffed into his mouth and the wrapper thrown on the ground, Danking couldn't resist interacting with this genius newcomer.

"Zero, you're Ekko's teammate, right?"

"How about joining TyLoo? Next year's Major, I'll snipe three, you get two, and we'll win the championship!"

"Forget stickers, the Major championship is ours, wanna come? I'll get cy1 (summer) sorted out for you first, how about that?"

This short, blond-haired man, despite chewing on a cane, didn't slow down his speech at all, which came out like a machine gun.

Han Tian suppressed a laugh and slowly turned on his microphone: "How about I 'castrate' you, and I'll snipe you while you stream in peace backstage?"

Just as danking was about to turn on his microphone to retaliate, "beep beep—" both sides immediately entered the pre-match countdown, and the public voice chat was turned off.

"Damn! You retreated after just one hit, buddy?"

To be honest, Danking watched every single one of Orange's games the other day. After all, Ike is really his best buddy. Back when they were in the Tianlu youth training camp, they were nicknamed "Tall and Short Yellow Hair" because they both had dyed yellow hair and had similarly outgoing personalities. Ike was the tall yellow hair, and Danking was the short yellow hair. These two yellow-haired guys, one tall and one short, caused a ruckus together in the Tianlu youth training camp for more than half a year.

"Da da—"

With danking securing a triple kill in a rush to site A, the 5v2 situation became a disarmed mess, with Han Tian and Ai Ke, who were defending site B, losing their guns.

They lost the first rifle round with full armor and ammunition, bringing the score to 4-0.

It has to be said that danking is indeed the strongest new generation player in Chinese CS today. He is not only good at sniping, but his rifle skills are also comparable to those of traditional riflemen.

Han Tian didn't care; he never took ranked matches as seriously as he would a professional tournament.

Because he figured out a way to maximize the gain of "proficiency" in ranked matches: "If the teammates are weak or the opponents are cheating, lose the game quickly and move on to the next one; if you can dominate, go all out and win."

Since you gain "proficiency" regardless of winning or losing, maximizing efficiency within the limited time is the key.

At this moment, in the eco round of Han Tian's CT team, Han Tian immediately bought two pistols, ready to try out his new pistol buff - [Her Joy].

In the first few games, his teammates were too much like bots, with no coordination whatsoever, and the opponents seemed to have a clear understanding of the game, so Han Tian's experiment was not very successful, at most he could only get two kills in an ECO round.

In this round, Han Tian and Ai Ke arrived at the Banana Lane and immediately blocked the smoke in the middle of the Banana Lane.

Han Tian sat behind the wooden plank of the parking space, and Ike hid behind the sandbag. When the smoke cleared, the other side advanced. Ike on the stone plank fired first to help Han Tian lure people.

After the bandits fired a round of bullets at the wooden planks, Han Tianjing quietly crouched down behind the planks that had just been riddled with bullet holes.

He gripped his twin pistols tightly, not bothering to search for points—Han Tianzheng asked expectantly, "Pro player Lü Zhenghao, are you guys even going to search properly?"
