I asked you to default, and you wiped them all out?

After enduring over 100ms of lag for a long time, Su Zhe even felt like shedding tears at the smooth game screen in front of him.

This feeling was just like a few months ago when he had just replaced his struggling laptop.

At this moment, es3tag's voice came through the TS Voice: "Arrow, you'll default on B2 later, and the rest of you will stick to your positions."

Without any extra nonsense, after a simple arrangement of the opening positions, the countdown had just ended.

After purchasing Half Armor in the shop, Su Zhe walked directly towards B2.

He first glanced at the Sewer exit, and finding no one there, he directly went to the Kitchen position and held position.

The most nervous person among the ten players in the match was not Su Zhe, but rather nicoodoz, one of the trial players for X team.

As a player who joined a professional team in 2018, he had spent more than three years playing in various second and third-tier teams. It wasn't until 2022 that he found an opportunity to join the legendary FNC team.

At that time, he was full of ambition, thinking he had finally made it. He imagined following the team to earn high tournament prize money and sticker revenue from Majors. On his first day with FNC, he couldn't sleep all night.

Unexpectedly, he only stayed with FNC for less than a year before the club sold him off, and he returned to a third-tier team. Just a few days ago, he received an invitation for a tryout with X team.

"I will definitely do my best this time!" Nicoodoz, who was assigned to defend B by the team, encouraged himself in his heart.

X team, like Nip, had a default opening. The team didn't have many requirements before the match; the purpose of the tryout was to observe a person's playstyle and habits.

Thinking about the homework he had specifically done yesterday, he had a high probability of knowing where Nip would place that newcomer who had never played professionally before.

So, when he saw Nip also had a default opening, he couldn't help but want to show off.

Nicoodoz first communicated with TeSeS, the veteran player on his team, saying he wanted to silently go to B2 to gather information.

TeSeS was a little confused upon hearing this but respected his decision, so he directly double-pushed him onto B2.

After ensuring there was no one hiding in the middle of B2, nicoodoz boldly pushed forward towards the Kitchen.

With several years of professional experience, his pre-aiming skills were still solid, which gave him the confidence to seek out opportunities proactively.

"No one is above the Sewer, so they must be in the Kitchen..."

With a clear idea in mind, nicoodoz cautiously approached the Kitchen close point. After aiming at the wall for a long time, he directly pre-aimed and crouched to push out.

"Bang!"

[Arrow used Glock to kill nicoodoz with a headshot]

"WTF!"

Nicoodoz, who was killed, was startled. He clearly pre-aimed and positioned his crosshair on the head, but he was the one who died?

The coach observing behind Su Zhe witnessed the entire process. After a moment of hesitation, he wrote down the words "quick reaction" and "solid positioning" in his notebook.

"Nice! Good shot!" Es3tag exclaimed after seeing the kill feed, and he had a general idea of what happened after seeing where the opponent fell.

He couldn't help but find it amusing, thinking, They really think we rookies are pushovers!

He glanced at the remaining one minute of attack time above the screen and said into the voice chat:

"The enemy likely has B point on alert. Arrow, sneak out from the sewer and help your teammates control mid. Then we'll pincer A through the archway."

Hearing this, Su Zhe abandoned his idea of solo pushing the B bomb site. He went directly to the sewer and crept towards mid point silently.

After confirming that there was no one in mid, Nip, who had been defaulting at T Spawn, gathered with Su Zhe.

"I'll go first," Su Zhe said, then began to speed up along the right side of the archway.

The coach's face showed satisfaction again upon seeing this.

It was a very detailed maneuver. Moving along the right side of the archway meant that if a CT from the side path wanted to help their teammate at the archway, they would have to move into the middle of the road to get a kill.

This way, his Terrorist teammate, who was sitting on a chair, could more easily provide backup fire.

Although these were basic moves for a professional player, he knew that this was a complete rookie, and it was already very good that he could unconsciously perform such detailed actions.

At this moment, Su Zhe's teammate at A2 was already peeking and shooting to draw the defenders' attention.

Hearing the gunfire, Su Zhe first observed the position of the jump spot from the right side of the archway. Finding no one, he immediately turned towards the jungle position and directly engaged Igoudala.

Nertz in the jungle position had been focusing on the archway due to the loss of control in mid.

Upon seeing the Terrorist's figure emerge, he immediately used his USP to follow up.

However, the firing speed of the USP was too slow. After his first shot missed the head, he immediately planned to adjust his aim again.

But Su Zhe was like a nimble dog in the mountains, moving quickly while pouring bullets into the CT's body.

"Bang bang bang!"

[Arrow used Glock to kill Nertz]

After getting the kill, Su Zhe didn't rush to the bomb site. Instead, he planned to go into VIP to cut off the CTs retaking B point for his teammates.

But he didn't expect TeSeS from B point to retake so quickly. As soon as he entered VIP, he was caught off guard and instantly headshot by USP from the supermarket position.

"Vip window!"

Su Zhe, now dead, immediately reported the position in voice chat and then quietly watched his teammates' actions.

In fact, when Su Zhe got two kills, the situation on the field had already become very clear.

With the CT defensive positions fully known, the four players from Nip, relying on each other's coordinated support fire, successfully secured the pistol round.

"Arrow! Good job! Keep it up!" After the round ended, es3tag proactively extended his fist towards Su Zhe.

Su Zhe hesitated for a moment before also extending his fist to bump it.

Is this what playing professionally feels like?

It feels amazing!

With the pistol round secured, and neither side having any set tactics, the score quickly and smoothly reached 3-0.

However, once the full buy rounds began, the defensive advantage of X team started to show.

Although TeSeS and sjuush, as veteran players of X team, didn't arrange tactics, they still did their best to cooperate with the trial players' requests.

At the start, Nertz asked a teammate for a flashbang and successfully cleared k0nfig, who was defaulting on the A2 Floor.

Upon discovering the A2 site was lost, headtr1ck immediately abandoned the first angle on A1 to prevent the enemy from clearing again.

Thus, X team, using their numerical advantage, successfully gained control of mid.

Seeing that the early default map control hadn't gone well, es3tag hastily executed a bomb rush on the B bomb site.

But X team had anticipated this and had already positioned their defense close to the B site. In the end, after some coordinated support fire, X team secured the victory in the full buy round.

Following this, the match gradually entered X team's scoring rhythm, and soon the score reached 3-5.

In these few rounds, Su Zhe neither made significant mistakes nor contributed much.

Moreover, in the previous round, X team had organized a push from B2 Floor to counter-clear, and he had successfully held one of them during their dual push.

But that was all he could do.

REZ looked at the data panel and exclaimed, "Nertz is something else! His aim is so sharp!"

Es3tag nodded, "Indeed, after all, his performance in ENCE wasn't bad. If the team hadn't wanted to sell him for money, he wouldn't be here for a tryout with X team."

He then reminded them over voice comms, "The enemy is counter-clearing very frequently now, we need to find a way to deal with it."

After saying this, he didn't arrange any other tactics. After all, the outcome of this tryout wasn't crucial; the main focus was on how Su Zhe would handle the match in various situations.

Coach djL, standing behind, also wanted to see how this young player would cope with the pressure of counter-clears while defaulting.

At this moment, Su Zhe had just wiped the sweat from his hands on his pants.

Looking at the 3-5 score and recalling es3tag's words before the tryout about how high the requirements were, he couldn't help but feel nervous and anxious.

I need to find a way to deal with this...

In the previous round, they had just done a half-buy, and this round they had ample funds.

Su Zhe purchased a full armor AK and all the utilities at the shop before heading directly to the B2 floor position.

This was because in a previous round, a CT who had pushed out from the Sewer had gotten a backstab kill on him.

So this time, he first threw a flashbang into the Sewer himself. After realizing the CTs didn't immediately push out of the Sewer, he returned to the B2 floor position.

However, this time he didn't choose to stay put in the kitchen and default.

He had thought of a counter-strategy to the retake: proactively push out and catch the timing of the enemy's forward push. Thus, he made a peeking motion, ready to wide-swing at any moment.

Seeing this from behind, the coach's brow furrowed. He casually wrote the word "Reckless" in his notebook before turning his gaze back to Su Zhe's screen.

When Su Zhe felt the timing was right, he pre-aimed the white van position and crouched to wide-swing out.

Suddenly, when he saw a black dot flash under the white van, his crosshair instantly pulled down.

"Da!"

[Arrow used AK-47 to get a headshot kill on nicoodoz]

"Huh? You can get picked off like this!" Nicoodoz, who had been killed, was shocked in his heart.

When he heard his teammate say they were going to control Mid this round, he hadn't intended to push forward. So, he honestly held his utility and jumped to check for information on B2.

As a result, he got himself killed just by checking?

"Uh..." The coach was also a bit surprised by this. His reaction was so fast that he hadn't even seen where the enemy CT was before the kill was secured.

Could it be enough confidence? Just as the coach was about to cross out the word "Reckless," he saw Su Zhe's position and that he was pushing forward again.

He sighed and stopped the pen in his hand. He was still too young. In this situation, he should have waited for his teammates and attacked using their numbers advantage.

Otherwise, searching the bomb site alone would just be a simple one-for-one trade.

Su Zhe was unaware of the coach's thoughts behind him. After securing the kill, he continued to clear the site quickly according to his usual pre-aim routine.

After finding no one on the B bomb site, he immediately shouted into the voice chat: "B site is empty! You can come!"

As he said this, he intended to hold the Supermarket position to cut off the enemy CTs' retake. Suddenly, the sound of a flashbang from the Side Path caught his attention.

Su Zhe, who had just walked into the bomb site, quickly turned his facing 90 degrees towards the Side Path. Upon seeing the CT wide-swinging out, he immediately crouched and controlled his spray.

"Dada da!"

[Arrow used AK-47 to kill TeSeS]

After securing the kill, Su Zhe just put away his gun and was about to turn to leave when another CT swung out from the Side Path, intending to trade the kill.

He simply predicted the trajectory of CT's wide pull and fired two shots.

"Da! Da!"

[Arrow used AK-47 to Headshot kill kyxsan]

The coach was somewhat silent upon seeing this. After considering it, he erased "Reckless" from his notebook.

Then he changed it to "Good at Proactively Finding Opportunities"...
