"Hello everyone, what's it like to be able to win while paired against two professional players from NIP in the S Division? This episode will take you into a first-person perspective to experience the atmosphere of the match..."

Seeing that the video's likes had surpassed ten thousand within a single day, Xiao Yujun breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a wasted late night of work!

He clicked open the comment section, and everything was as he expected.

[This current genius is really something! As long as they aren't cheating, they're amazing!]

[Holy crap! This Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player is legit! I'm gonna go open Cape and try some breakthroughs too.]

[Hahaha! Even foreign pro players have to play nice on the Perfect World Platform and drop knives. That's CNCS for you.]

[This guy's good! His stats are better than both pro players!]

[I specifically watched the demo just now. His breakthroughs are like a rabid dog, charging into the bombsite without any reason. With that big flick, the pro players couldn't even react.]

[Is this Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player cheating? His reactions on several plays were not normal.]

[Confirmed, the person above has a rank no higher than D.]

[...]

The video was predictably popular, with over ten thousand likes and hundreds of thousands of views.

But he knew how the players on his own platform behaved. So, many people, including some bloggers, downloaded that match's demo to scrutinize it.

If they found any suspicion of cheating, he could release another video, couldn't he? That would be mastering the traffic code!

However, the results were disappointing. After repeatedly comparing the gameplay and the team communication in voice chat, they concluded that it was normal play for an S Division player.

Xiao Yujun was delighted by the revenue the video brought in, but new troubles quickly arose because he couldn't find new material.

There's only so much you can eat from one bowl. Once it's gone, it's gone.

"I should have just written CSGO novels myself. No need to find material, just make up the plot."

Xiao Yujun had a bold idea, but he quickly dismissed it. Who would read something written without skill?

He opened the materials he had collected before, one by one, trying to find some new inspiration.

When he saw the footage of the NIP professional player he had recently collected, he stared at the ID [Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player] for a few seconds.

It wasn't because of the MVP. CSGO is too dependent on feel and state. Maybe the player was dominating in this match, but the next game they'd be at the bottom.

The main reason was that the ID was too unique, making him stare for a few extra seconds.

Then, with a hint of interest, he opened the Perfect World Platform and searched for this ID.

He didn't know what he was getting into until he searched. He was shocked!

A player who was C+ last season was now S this season!

He scrolled through the recent match history. It was decent, but the overall stats were improving.

For example, on the day he reached S, this [Cape's Breakthrough Player] had a record of 0.49 Rating, a "Ten Thousand Springs Department poet."

But the data was proportional to the timeline. In the past few days, the worst Rating was around 0.9.

With this trend, reaching Gold S or Diamond S was not a problem!

He continued to quickly scroll down Su Zhe's record until he reached C+ at the beginning of the season.

Then he remembered. Wasn't this the young player that Leon Kai had specifically clarified wasn't cheating?

The internet's memory is short.

After Su Zhe reached A Division, he began to decline, and gradually, no one paid attention to him anymore.

If it weren't for Leon Kai, who would care about a player around A Division? Even if he was cheating, not many people would notice.

Someone cheating and becoming famous was because they reached the highest rank on the platform, frequently encountered streamers, and dominated them, thus attracting attention.

Xiao Yujun never expected this kid to grow to this extent in just one month!

While a month to go from A to S Division wasn't particularly exaggerated, what about going from C+ to S in about 40 days...

And it was S Division where he dominated professional players and became MVP...

His inspiration exploded!

As it turned out, Leon Kai's Mouyin account operation was not very successful.

When Xiao Yujun created a video specifically centered around [Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player] as the protagonist, the likes, views, and comments all surpassed the data from Leon Kai's twenty videos.

Not to mention, he had also cheated by borrowing the video style of the neighboring "Hualong Esports."

"Zhe! Did you pay someone to make a video specifically for you?"

Fat Brother and Xiao Guang were also shocked as they looked at the video on their phones. The video's likes had already reached 40,000!

Fat Brother, in particular, was once a genius himself. He reached S Division in about 1000 hours.

Back then, he posted his achievements online to show off, but people called it average and said they themselves reached S in three to four hundred hours.

Su Zhe's current playtime is over 800 hours, so why is he receiving such different treatment?

Counting it up, there have already been four videos about him on Mouyin.

Xiao Guang sighed, "You don't understand... 500 hours to C+, and then suddenly S-rank in over a month. The contrast is just too huge."

"And I have to admit, the quality of this video is pretty good..."

At this moment, the phone's speaker began to play...

"The protagonist of this episode is the MVP player who previously dominated the NIP duo queue. With over a month of effort, he has proven what it means to be a late bloomer..."

"Reaching C+ rank in 500 hours, he refused to accept his mediocre talent..."

"Through continuous effort, playing at least ten high-intensity ranked matches daily, he grew at a visible rate..."

The comment section below was also filled with positive feedback and encouraging videos.

[I thought this ID looked familiar from the last video. It really wasn't easy!]

[I used to doubt him, but now I slap myself awake in the middle of the night.]

[Whoa, even so, this talent is truly amazing! Those reactions! That breakthrough! I'm so moved! Could he really make it as a pro?]

[@TYLOO Esports Club Hurry up and see if he can go pro!]

[I'm also C+ after 500 hours. Am I also a late-blooming talent?]

[I think you're more of a factory assembly line type of player...]

After watching the video, Fat Brother walked over to Su Zhe, placed his hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly, "I have a plan to make money. Want to hear it?"

Su Zhe always felt that this tall, anime-loving guy definitely had ulterior motives, but he still asked with curiosity, "What is it?"

Fat Brother: "I feel like you could totally start streaming now. These last two videos have gotten so much attention, you'll definitely rake in the cash!"

Su Zhe swatted his hand away, "No way! I have absolutely no experience with streaming."

Xiao Guang chimed in from the side, "What's so hard about that! As soon as you start streaming, just say you want to go pro! You want to play in the Shanghai Major! Then the cash will just flow into your pockets!"

"Then Fat Brother can wear s1mple's jersey, and I'll wear Niko's jersey, and we can create some entertaining content for your stream..."

Su Zhe decisively cut off the conversation, "I want to go pro and make a name for myself. How can I be content being a small streamer here?"

The next day at noon.

Su Zhe looked at the new camera he had just bought and asked Fat Brother, "When I start streaming later, should I just show my hands? Or should I include all three of us?"
