CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

Han Tian glanced at the long-haired boy opposite him, Ren Feiyu, the most famous sniper of the new generation in China. He was known as "Little S1mple of China" because his style was very similar to that of S1mple, one of the two current CS GOATs. He played aggressively and liked to repeek. Moreover, his game understanding and aiming talent were among the best of the new generation of CS players in China.

In addition, SD Su Dong, who is behind Ren Feiyu, implemented a "star-making plan," spending a lot of resources to promote and hype this new star.

Therefore, his fan base and popularity are currently at a level that is far ahead of other young players.

When Han Tian appeared, only a small group of audience members cheered for him, but when Ren Feiyu took the stage, the entire venue was shaken, and the cheers seemed to break through the roof of the venue. This shows that the number of supporters for the two was several orders of magnitude different.

Ren Feiyu himself even raised his left hand towards the audience as if listening attentively, seemingly enjoying the grand occasion.

The two walked to the left and right sides of the host, Liu Xiangzi, and under Liu Xiangzi's guidance, they briefly introduced themselves to the audience.

Liu Xiangzi pulled out a clue card. After reading the contents of the second card, she couldn't help but frown slightly. This organizer..., did they have to put her in such a big mess right from the start?

"Um...excuse me...to the two young contestants...?"

The thought of asking such a blatantly provocative question made Liu Xiangzi, who had no hosting experience, very nervous. Coupled with her less-than-fluent Chinese, she even started to stammer for a moment.

"Your ratings are very similar, and you are all core members of the team."

"Many people say that the key to winning the final... actually... lies between the two of you."

"mud....."

As she read the last sentence, Liu Xiangzi's tension finally reached its limit, her pronunciation began to distort, and her mind suddenly went blank. Looking at the last few Chinese characters on the card, she couldn't recognize them at all.

Han Tian, ​​who was concentrating intently on listening to the interview transcript word by word, noticed a pause and gradually realized something was wrong. Was the somewhat shy female host having a lapse in concentration?

In fact, Han Tian, ​​who had extensive experience as a translator in his previous life, could tell from Liu Xiangzi's convoluted Chinese accent that her native language must be English, and that she must have only recently started learning Chinese.

At this moment, Liu Xiangzi was stuck and couldn't speak for several seconds.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she forced a smile. Her eyes were moist, and she looked a little helpless and pitiful.

Actually, it's not her fault. The VSL planners took the initiative to ask her to be the host for the sake of her future endorsement and long-term development in the gaming industry, while also wanting to give her some experience.

But before that, she was always the one performing on stage and being interviewed. Even when she was on stage, she would memorize her lines over and over again beforehand and make thorough preparations.

Even the cue cards were given to her at the last minute before she went on stage, and she didn't know the specific content of the interview beforehand.

"I'm doomed! If I stay stuck here, my career as an entertainer is over!!"

Biting his lip slightly, with reddened eyes, Liu Xiangzi silently cried out in his heart as he sank into despair.

In life, there are often shy people who, when they get nervous to a certain extent, often experience mental blocks, their minds go blank, and even words that they can recognize at a glance suddenly seem completely unfamiliar.

Unfortunately, Liu Xiangzi seems to be that kind of person.

On the stage, Ren Feiyu on the left was still looking up, enjoying the audience's gaze, but he was a little puzzled as to why the host's voice had stopped.

Han Tian noticed out of the corner of his eye that the beautiful female host's small hand holding the microphone was trembling slightly.

"Could it be... that I really ran out of lines?"

Han Tian blinked, and taking advantage of his height, he slightly tiptoed and turned his head. Using the height difference, he saw the young host, on the verge of tears, tightly clutching a cue card with her slender, white fingers. The content on it was...

"Do you agree?" Han Tian leaned closer, lowered his voice, and gently opened his mouth to prompt the seemingly unreliable young host.

"Ah...you guys are all the same!!!"

Relieved, Liu Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cast a grateful glance at Han Tian, ​​the kind young man.

She didn't expect that Orange, the contestant, was not only pretty but also so thoughtful and kind.

Liu Xiangzi glanced at Han Tian discreetly. Han Tian had a neat buzz cut, clear eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose, and a calm expression, yet he naturally exuded a clean and youthful air.

In an instant, Liu Xiangzi's little face turned rosy.

So Liu Xiangzi handed the microphone to Ren Feiyu, who looked puzzled and seemed not to understand what had just happened.

Han Tian had just helped her, which made her feel a little goodwill towards him, so she let Ren Feiyu answer first, giving Han Tian some time to think about his answer.

"Oh...the deciding factor in the finals?"

Ren Feiyu had just snapped out of his daze from the cheers of his fans, and when he answered, a nonchalant smile played on his lips.

He deliberately tilted his head to the side, his gaze drifting lightly downwards, quickly sweeping over Liu Xiangzi's long legs encased in black leggings, before looking away again, his fingers casually twirling the microphone, exuding an air of cool roguishness and nonchalant indifference.

He thought he was being cool by flicking his long hair, clearing his throat, and responding with a broken English sentence.

"For me, it's actually very simple."

"If we snipe two targets every round, we win, that's it."

Perhaps it was seeing Liu Xiangzi's exquisite mixed-race features as a host, and hearing her somewhat hesitant Chinese.

Ren Feiyu suddenly felt a surge of youthful hormones and wanted to show off in front of the beautiful host, so he answered the question in simple English that he had recently learned. At the same time, he gave Han Tian a slightly provocative look.

The implication is clear: How about it? You're a country bumpkin who doesn't even have a proper job, can you understand English?

It has to be said that Ren Feiyu is a person who is naturally full of confidence and has an extremely bold style of doing things.

"Whoosh—"

In the stands, thousands of fans of SD youth training cheered with some surprise. Their favorite player could speak English so well. Was he planning to go to North America and Europe to make a name for himself?

With a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment on his face, Liu Xiangzi persisted in speaking in Chinese, giving Ren Feiyu a few perfunctory replies.

Then, she glanced at Han Tian on her right and saw that he was ready and looking over, so she quickly smiled and handed the microphone to Han Tian.

"At Orange, we don't have the concept of a team core; we just have different roles."

"My position dictates that I have to take on some extra responsibilities for the team. I'm just trying my best to do what I'm supposed to do, that's all."

Han Tian wasn't spouting platitudes or feigning humility; he genuinely believed it. He reasoned that without the main force of Ai Ke and Zhang Zhen holding off the pressure, he, as a solo player, couldn't have achieved such a high score.

After hearing this, Liu Xiangzi, who was conducting the interview, was slightly speechless, and then her eyes curved gently. Even though it was her first time hosting, she could tell that Han Tian's low-key and humble answer was much better than Ren Feiyu's.

"At least now, they shouldn't start arguing on stage."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to delve deeper and ask Han Tian about his personal hobbies, suddenly, a somewhat broken English voice came from her left.

U r so beautiful, could I add you as a steam friend?

(You're beautiful, can I add you as a Steam friend?)

Ren Feiyu, on the left, shamelessly approached and confidently began to strike up a conversation.
