CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

"Sigh~ In a 3v1 situation, Han Tian tried to feint to bait Ren Feiyu into firing his sniper rifle, but he misjudged the shot and got sniped to death. Sigh, it's a tough fight for anyone in this situation."

"Well... let's... congratulate SD youth training, let's move on to the next map and take the victory in map one."

Leonkai's live stream room on the Maoya live streaming platform.

Seeing the score finalized at [16:8], Leonkai of the Iron-Blooded Orange Faction felt inexplicably irritated.

Because you can't really criticize the Orange team, they really did their best. You can tell from their players' and tactics' proficiency that they really don't know how to play against the building.

In the video, Du Sinian stood up, sighed, and looked up at the sky, while Han Tian sat in his seat with a furrowed brow, reluctant to leave the field to rest, and diligently playing the bot.

Leonkai shook his head slightly. It's too difficult. That's SD's youth academy. They can go toe-to-toe with TyLoo in training matches. They're already stronger than many clubs' main teams.

Leon Kai initially came to commentate on the match with the intention of supporting his old teammate, but when he watched Han Tian win a seemingly impossible endgame in the first map, an immature thought involuntarily popped into Leon Kai's mind—what if Orange really crushed SD's youth training team?

But after watching the match, Leonkai could only shake his head and smile bitterly. It seemed he was still too idealistic. A small team assembled halfway through the season, thinking it could beat a regular club? Perhaps that was just a plot from a novel.

"How about... we go back and get some water and something to eat to replenish our energy?"

In the players' seats, his teammates all went to the rest room or the toilet, leaving only Han Tian who insisted on practicing his shooting, shooting at bots one after another in the training field.

Only Du Chengzi, who was wearing a coach's badge, remained on the field. She was a little worried about the boy who was practicing shooting alone. She secretly hid the concern in her eyes and slowly walked behind Han Tian, ​​silently watching his back.

Looking at Han Tian, ​​who was sitting in his seat with a slightly furrowed brow and practicing his shooting, Du Chengzi didn't know what to say for a moment. In fact, she knew that Han Tian was blaming himself for losing the last point in the endgame, but even she could see how difficult that endgame was, so even if he lost, he didn't need to blame himself so much. Why did he have to take all the responsibility on himself?

Although Du Chengzi usually disliked the gloomy, middle-aged vibe that Han Tian often exuded, Han Tian's youthful stubbornness at this moment made her panic for a moment.

"boom--"

After finishing the 150th bot, Han Tian suddenly smelled a familiar perfume scent. He turned around and bumped into Du Chengzi's face, which was very close to his. She was standing on tiptoe, her big eyes blinking as she looked him up and down, like a curious yet wary kitten.

Catching a hint of concern in the girl's eyes, Han Tian smiled helplessly. It seemed he had made others worry about him after all.

"I'm not thirsty. You should go back and rest. I just want to... get a better feel for it."

To say that Han Tian felt guilty is an understatement; he probably did, but his actions of fighting the bot were primarily an experiment.

The opponent Han Tian faced this time was one of the strongest shooters he had ever faced. Coupled with the excellent tactics of the SD youth training team, Han Tian knew that if he couldn't maximize his stat advantage, he would have no chance of winning this match.

In terms of positioning, the AK's "Lightweight" feature is sufficient, but Han Tian is not satisfied with his sudden stop speed. He feels that he has tried his best to stop quickly, but sometimes the first few bullets still drift around.

Han Tian realized that without further upgrading the quality of his firearms, his ability to stop quickly had likely reached a bottleneck.

Each upgrade to weapon quality slightly increases stats such as quick stop, positioning, spraying, and burst fire, but the increase is nowhere near as drastic as the buff from "Lightweight".

While burst fire and single-shot firing are clearly insufficient, sudden stops have the greatest impact in the game, especially when facing opponents like SD Youth Training who have a strong sense of gun skill. If a sudden stop is not steady and the first few bullets fail to kill the opponent, the opponent will quickly counter-kill you.

Moreover, in the team, Han Tianben plays a more libero position that is more inclined to cover the rear and support the main force's attack, so he rarely takes the initiative to fight for the ball at the beginning of the game.

In addition, the trigger condition for the "Lightweight" buff is to minimize the number of bullets in the AK magazine. Han Tian did not want to fire his guns indiscriminately and reveal his position, nor did he want to deliberately trigger the buff, because he felt that doing so would make his opponents and spectators feel confused.

Most importantly, this buff can only be triggered a limited number of times per game—it can only be used twice per map.

Although Han Tian often uses the "Lightweight" buff to achieve good results, he actually triggered this buff a very limited number of times in this competition.

"Da da—"

In three seconds, the last five bullets from the AK magazine blew up the heads of the five bots, and Han Tian exhaled slightly.

"It seems that this time, we should try to make the most of the [Lightly Armed] buff to give the team an advantage."

On the players' bench, Han Tian rested his chin on one hand and thought to himself.

Du Chengzi, standing to the side, was getting anxious because Han Tian was still blaming himself. After all, she was the current coach.

She tried to persuade Han Tian to rest, but he remained unmoved. Annoyed, Du Chengzi stomped her foot slightly and turned to run towards the rest room, spinning like a top.

The halftime break after the map change is only fifteen minutes, and the match is about to start in less than five minutes.

Han Tian, ​​who was still practicing his emergency stop, suddenly noticed someone walking up to him. He turned around and saw that it was his captain, Du Sinian, who had been standing quietly behind him, watching him.

Han Tian couldn't help but smile wryly. The captain and Du Chengzi were indeed siblings; they both liked to stand behind others and spy on them, didn't they?

"Even though we lost map one, there's no need to worry too much. The building map is a weak map that we haven't practiced for long... Relax, next is our map selection, just do your best."

Seeing that Han Tian had noticed him, Du Sinian comforted the boy in front of him who was practicing his shooting skills hard after losing the first map.

"Actually, you've done a great job. Without you, we might not even have gotten three points in a row..."

Du Sinian looked at the boy with the buzz cut in front of him and sighed that Han Tian always seemed so mature and calm that it was easy to forget that he was just a seventeen-year-old who had just graduated from high school.

What a hardworking, responsible, and dedicated young man! I wish he were my younger brother.

His gaze softened, and Du Sinian reached out and gently patted Han Tian's head.

"As the captain... I will always believe in you..."

Han Tiangang wanted to explain to the captain that he didn't feel too guilty.

"Hmph! Hmm... I believe it too, as... what was it again? Oh right! Coach!"

Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps rang out, followed by a panting sound, and a small, fair hand quietly touched Han Tian's hair.
