You Know, I'm a Ten-Year Fan of Nip

The two hours passed quickly, and the tryout results for both teams on the two maps were out.

The five players on X team finally understood why Nip had sought out a rookie with no major tournament experience for a tryout.

His reaction speed was outrageously fast!

While they could make good tactical adjustments, with that reaction speed combined with his aim, his direct confrontations were too formidable.

They had lost count of how many times they had died at the hands of this player named Arrow.

After the scrims ended, sjuush asked in confusion in the room, "Where did you guys find this rookie? His talent is this exaggerated? I haven't encountered him on the ladder before either?"

K0nfig saw this and replied with a smile, typing, "Do you think you guys would get such good luck?"

Sjuush:?

Seeing this reply, he couldn't help but laugh. He could only sigh at Nip's incredible luck, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

After several years of iteration in the CSGO professional scene, what was the use of just having good aim?

Under the influence of the former captain, Point Brother, he had always believed that team synergy and cooperation were far more important than individual skill.

Didn't their team, without any star players, still manage to get second place at the Rio Major?

Every team had a different understanding of the game CSGO.

Although coach djL felt that Su Zhe still had many shortcomings in his performance during the two scrims, overall, he was quite satisfied.

Moreover, he occasionally made brilliant plays during the matches; in short, he had a lot of flair.

He felt that what this young man lacked was just acquired experience. As long as he learned fast enough, he would quickly become a sharp blade for the team.

After the scrims, he said to Su Zhe with a smile, "You rest here for a bit first. I'll go print out your stats, and then we'll go find the team manager together."

With that, djL went to the adjacent printing room.

After the coach turned and left, Su Zhe let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He felt completely drained after the two scrims today, having used everything he had learned from watching various match demos.

However, in many situations, he still played very passively, and he couldn't help but sigh that no professional player was simple.

Professional players he had never even heard of before could use their experience to give him a lot of trouble.

Meanwhile, k0nfig proactively got up and came over to high-five him, "Bro, you played well today! Very bold!"

Su Zhe: ...

"This is called bold? I feel like I've been walking on thin ice in both training matches today!"

Of course, he couldn't say that directly, but he didn't know what else to say, so he just awkwardly replied, "It's mainly because your monitors are too good, and the network is great too..."

"Pfft~" REZ was the first to burst out laughing. Those words were something else, but thinking about Su Zhe's usual ping of over 100 when queuing with them, he could sort of understand.

Es3tag's expression also relaxed considerably. This kind of performance should be enough to earn the team manager's approval.

He had been worried that Su Zhe would get nervous during his tryout today and affect his own performance. He didn't expect it to have a positive effect instead.

Achieving good results in such a match had already exceeded his expectations.

He increasingly looked forward to what changes Arrow, this young man, would bring to their team, which was already like stagnant water, after joining.

DjL was very fast, and after a few minutes, he returned to the training room with several papers.

"Hey, Arrow, come with me."

Su Zhe heard this and got up to leave. K0nfig even made a gesture of encouragement to him as he departed.

Su Zhe followed the coach all the way to the team manager's office. He noticed that the manager was actually drinking tea, currently savoring a freshly brewed cup with a "tsk tsk" sound.

The team manager, THREAT, took the data sheet handed over by djL and glanced at it. He then signaled djL to leave, as he wanted to speak with Su Zhe alone.

"Sit down."

He looked at Su Zhe, who was sitting opposite him, and asked some very basic questions.

Such as age, gaming hours, and so on, while occasionally glancing at the data in his hand.

Everything was very satisfactory, even better than the performance of the previous few players who had tried out for NiP. However, he just felt something was off.

Having a player with no major tournament experience join his team made him very uncomfortable.

Although there had been examples before proving that true geniuses could achieve great results by directly entering the top-tier scene, such cases were too few.

Not to mention that Top 3 Sniper Tom Cruise, and Bao Lan, who was signed for a staggering 600,000 Euros, both faded after joining their club.

So THREAT couldn't help but ask, "As a Chinese person, why don't you play professionally in your own country? I remember there are quite a few professional teams in your country."

Su Zhe's mouth twitched at the question. If he were playing in China, he'd probably be trying to find connections within the youth training system and trying to bribe management to let him get promoted to the main team as a substitute.

He now understood that even a talented genius like Zai Wu had to buy two packs of cigarettes for the management to get a chance in the domestic youth training teams.

Su Zhe pondered for a moment before replying, "You know, I'm actually a ten-year fan of NiP. I've dreamed of playing professionally for NiP since I was a child. Back then, I was with the Dog Head and Forest Brother... @%*"

After Su Zhe's more than ten minutes of rambling, THREAT's face was filled with enjoyment.

He also recalled the team's past glory, completely ignoring the fact that Su Zhe was only eight years old ten years ago.

Su Zhe: "So when I realized I had the talent to play CSGO professionally, the first team I wanted to join was Nip!"

"Rebuild Nip's glory! I will not shirk my duty!"

"Good!" THREAT couldn't help but clap his hands. "To be honest, your tryout results have completely met my expectations."

He then took another sip of hot tea. "But then again, you should also know how difficult it is for a complete newcomer to enter the top professional arena."

"I can give you a team contract, but you have to prove yourself with results."

"How about this, the IEM Katowice qualifiers are coming up in a while. If the team can get a spot and you perform well, I can let you continue to be the team's starter afterwards."

"But if you're like those other rookies, my advice is you can continue to hone your skills in our youth training team."

Su Zhe immediately agreed upon hearing this.

He didn't yet know how difficult the Katowice qualifiers were.

But as long as he became the team's starter, even for just one day, the countdown mission from his system would be completed!

At that time, even if he could only join the youth training team, he could still slowly develop and grow stronger with the help of the system.

After receiving an affirmative reply, THREAT pulled out a contract from his folder. Looking at the two-year contract, he suddenly thought of Bao Lan.

Then he directly changed the two-year contract to three months and handed it over again--

I didn't expect it, Green Dragon actually won the championship, donk truly broke my perception of an entry fragger.

You know, I've actually been a decade-long fan of Green Dragon.
