After failing to become a starting player for a domestic team within a year, Su Zhe understood that even with the system, he couldn't have everything go his way.

He had initially thought that with the system's assistance, all he needed to do was work hard.

But now it seemed he needed to make a detailed plan to accomplish his goals step by step. Otherwise, just rushing forward blindly would only lead to constant setbacks and disappointment.

However, if he couldn't find an opportunity to go pro in China within a year, then he would have to try his luck abroad.

Moreover, after watching the CAC matches at noon, the complete defeat of all three CNCS teams had a significant impact on him.

After watching the games, he looked up the performance of domestic teams in recent years and no longer felt attached to playing professionally in China.

Let whoever wants to save CNCS save it. Su Zhe felt that even with two more systems, he couldn't save them; instead, they would become shackles holding him back.

So, he grabbed a pen and paper to organize the things he needed to do in the near future.

The first step would definitely be to continue improving himself, aiming to reach the number one spot on the platform in his current rank. This way, he could simultaneously complete two system tasks, earning B-grade and A-grade rewards respectively.

The second step would be to switch over to the European Faceit platform.

He had recently learned online that there was a significant difference in playstyles between domestic and international players in ranked matches.

European ranked players focused more on team coordination, while in China, it was naturally all about aiming.

Therefore, if he wanted to find opportunities abroad, he naturally had to adapt to their playstyle first.

In his opinion, Europe was probably the best choice. With many strong teams and numerous Tier 2 and Tier 3 teams, there would naturally be more opportunities.

The third step.

As he wrote this, Su Zhe glanced at the university English textbook on his desk.

The third step would naturally be to improve his English as quickly as possible while he couldn't play CSGO during class. He didn't aim for top grades, just enough for simple daily communication.

As for the final step, it would be to continue streaming and earning money. If a European team invited him for a tryout later, the earnings could cover his travel expenses.

He couldn't bring himself to ask his parents for this money.

After writing down his plan, Su Zhe felt a little more at ease.

Now that he had a goal, all that was left was hard work.

As for the final outcome, it didn't matter much. Even if he couldn't complete the tasks and the system unbound itself from him, at most, he would just return to his original life path.

Perhaps years later, he would suddenly remember that he had once strived to become a professional player, and that would be enough.

He closed the notebook filled with his plan and turned to shout, "Fat Brother, where's my 'Zai Wu' team jersey?"

[Little Zhe, are you planning to stream for over ten hours again this weekend?] [He's really working hard. If I were this dedicated at my job, I'd be making a fortune in overtime pay!] [By the way, isn't Little Zhe already at 24 stars? Looking at the game stats, if he wins this one, he'll reach Diamond S!] [Not only is he working hard, but his rank-up speed is also incredibly fast. It feels like Emperor S is just a matter of time at this rate.] [Sigh, he's just too ambitious. Doesn't he know his own skill level? He hasn't even joined a youth academy yet and he's already thinking about joining Tianlu's main team.] [Honestly, if they put Little Zhe on the main team to gain some match experience, wouldn't he be better than the current Tianlu players?] [Is he planning to just focus on creating content and streaming from now on?] [.]

The livestream chat was filled with various comments, some expressing admiration, envy, confusion, and even mockery.

Su Zhe didn't have the energy to respond to the chat messages at the moment because the game score was already 11-10.

They could have ended the match much earlier, but in the previous round, they accidentally let the opposing CT team force-buy and make a comeback, depleting Su Zhe's team's economy.

If they lost this round, which was a full buy round, the opponents might complete their comeback.

Su Zhe opened his mic and briefly communicated, "Let's go B this round. I'll be the first entry. You guys just need to throw a smoke for banana and a flash behind the boxes for me."

"Sure, no problem." His teammates readily agreed.

This was the environment in domestic ranked matches. As long as your performance was good enough, your teammates would listen to your calls when you communicated.

After the countdown ended, Su Zhe immediately switched to his knife and rushed. As he neared the bombsite entrance, he pulled out a Molotov from his pocket and threw it towards the wooden planks, preventing the CTs from rushing out immediately to catch them off guard in banana.

A fire ignited in the middle of banana at his feet. Su Zhe ignored it and continued to speed up, stepping through the fire. By the time he reached behind the boxes, his teammate's flash hadn't landed yet.

He couldn't blame his temporary teammates in ranked matches for their coordination, but it was too late to fall back now. The opponents must have heard him stepping through the fire and knew someone was near the boxes.

If he retreated now, he would either be caught by the opponents or have to find another way later.

Eager to open up the round for his team, Su Zhe chose to pre-aim and push directly. Upon seeing the CT holding an angle behind the yellow wall, he quickly stutter-stepped and opened fire.

"Dada-da!"

[Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player used AK-47 to kill Liqun Chaoren]

Seeing his teammate get killed, the CT behind the sandbags immediately peeked out to trade the kill. But Su Zhe, with his lightning-fast reaction, saw the CT first due to the perspective difference (close is big, far is small).

With his quick reflexes, he immediately adjusted his recoil control and shifted his spray.

"Dada-da!"

[Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player used AK-47 to headshot kill Lao Da Wo Xiang Ni Le]

"Directly into the site! There's at most one left! You guys throw a spawn smoke, I'll go scout the site."

Su Zhe glanced at his teammates' positions on the minimap and, dragging his near-death body, actively sought out enemies.

As it turned out, the defending side had gambled on a 3-man defense at B site this round.

A CT on top of the box intended to throw a B-site connector smoke and wait for teammates to rotate back, but he didn't expect the terrorists to rush so quickly.

After getting two kills, Su Zhe didn't stop his footsteps. Confirming no one was peeking from the coffin position, he directly pre-aimed the position on top of the box and aggressively swung out again.

"Dada da!"

[Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player used AK-47 to kill "What do you think Niko will do" with a headshot]

Su Zhe, like a massive transport truck, directly smashed through the CTs' three-man defense.

Facing a 2v5 clutch situation, the remaining two CTs intended to find a place to save their guns, but they were quickly eliminated by the terrorists who grouped up.

"Holy crap! I didn't even react to that speed boost!" [Liqun Chaoren] complained, "Is this guy a reincarnation of a bulldozer?"

[Laodai I Miss You] also said helplessly, "The opponent's reaction speed is too fast. I wanted to peek out to trade the kill, but I ran straight into bullets. Sigh~ We'll try harder next round!"

Having lost the crucial round, the CTs couldn't afford to buy full rifles again next round. This time, Su Zhe and his teammates gave them no more chances.

Leveraging their weapon advantage, they gradually pushed forward, slowly eroding the CTs' defense.

Upon hearing the heavenly notification sound, Su Zhe stood up and said, "Fat Brother, Xiao Guang, you two chat with the audience for a bit. I'm going to the restroom."

After speaking, he couldn't wait to enter the bathroom and summon the system panel.
