Background / History
Su Zhe begins as an 18-year-old college student and CS enthusiast who cannot advance beyond C+ on the Perfect World Platform. After receiving the Genius Youth System, he gains a concrete route toward professional play: complete missions, earn Rise Points, improve attributes, and pursue system-issued career goals. 1 2
He commits immediately to the system’s demanding training regime. Daily bot-kill and Deathmatch tasks transform monotonous practice into measurable progress, while the Chosen One skill increases his training efficiency. To remove hardware limitations, he borrows money from relatives and friends to build a new computer with a 240 Hz monitor and stable 300 FPS. 4 6 7
Although he originally intends to play professionally only in China and turns down NIP’s early youth-training offer, Su Zhe later reassesses his plan after failing to secure a domestic starting role. He begins grinding FACEIT, improving his English and targeting European opportunities instead. 16 23 28
His FACEIT performances draw renewed interest from k0nfig and es3tag. Su Zhe negotiates a NIP tryout on the condition that he can reach the main roster within half a year, travels to Sweden, and signs a three-month professional contract worth 400 euros per week with food and accommodation included. 31 32 36
At NIP, he initially serves as a flex player before being formally assigned as an entry fragger. He earns major-stage experience, develops into a recognized professional, and later becomes a free agent after his contract expires. 38 87 138
Su Zhe subsequently plays as foreign aid for LVG, helping the team address its fundamentals and compete internationally. He later joins G2, where the lineup wins IEM Dallas, Esports World Cup, IEM Cologne, ESL 20, IEM Rio, BLAST Fall Finals, and BLAST World Finals; Su Zhe earns seven MVP awards across those victories. 188 218 245
Appearance
Su Zhe is around 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms. His long-term training leaves him lean, with a notably sharp jawline. 51 106
- Taller than donk when the two first meet. 51
- Initially wears a Zai Wu jersey during his first streams. 18
- Uses a mask and hat to avoid recognition when meeting G2 at Chengdu airport. 140
Personality
Su Zhe is intensely self-disciplined and goal-oriented. Before becoming a professional, he routinely invests around ten hours per day into CS training; even after reaching the international stage, he repeatedly chooses practice over rest. 12 39 51 137
He is initially awkward on stream and reserved around strangers, but grows more sociable after joining professional teams. Despite confidence in his own potential, he is capable of honest self-assessment: after being targeted at Katowice, he recognizes that reaction time alone cannot bridge gaps in agility, aim, and game understanding. 18 83 86
He is competitive without being dismissive. Su Zhe studies stronger players such as donk and Zai Wu, treats losses as evidence of areas to improve, and continues to seek difficult opponents rather than avoiding them. 8 51 132 214

- Allows him to remain energetic after only a few hours of sleep. 60

- Positive audience emotion grants a 1%–10% increase to Gunplay, Positioning, and Recoil Control. 139
- Negative audience emotion grants a 1%–10% increase to Agility, Awareness, and Reaction. 139
- Only functions in offline matches and depends on crowd feedback. 139
