For the players, the game is over when it is over, but for many viewers, whether happiness or pain, it really starts from the moment the game ends.
And many game forums and discussion areas only really started to become lively after the game ended.
The arena is a stage for professional players to operate, while off the arena is a paradise for spectators to enjoy themselves and make jokes.
"The Optimistic Team announces its reverse impact on the World Championship. The first step is to avoid relegation, and the second step is to sprint for a place in the First Division!"
"The DGL team announced that it will compete in the A-League in the summer split, bringing the talent of the world champion to the A-League!"
"In order to allow more young players to have the opportunity to come into contact with and compete against world champions, the DGL team is willing to sacrifice themselves for Chinese e-sports. This optimistic spirit is worth learning from all e-sports people!"
"Then the question is, should I choose the champion skin, Jiaoyue or Ruiwen?"
In any competitive event, off-field verbal warfare is a vital component. After all, the essence of sports competition is war in peacetime, and it is destined to become a site for countless audiences to vent their emotions.
Compared with the football hooligans who are the world's number one sport, the keyboard warriors in e-sports are already much more elegant and easy-going.
Maybe this is also a kind of civilization and progress?
And on April 17, before the carnival ended in the audience’s ridicule of the Optimistic Team’s reverse attack on the World Championship, there was another thunderous thunder in the LPL league.
The "one-minute bo5" incident that is enough to be recorded in the history of the LPL league has happened as promised. The QG team has been a strong dark horse in the LPL league since its formation.
Especially this season, we got UZI, a strong player, which made this dark horse even more powerful. It made great progress in the regular season and was unmatched in the split.
However, a month ago, the mid-jungle split began, and the entire team fell into a whirlpool of public opinion. With the main mid laner DOINB being banned by the official investigation, the team's situation became even worse.
Fortunately, the substitute mid laner temporarily took over, relying on the team's hard strength and good results in the regular season, and still entered the playoffs with a good result of first place in Group A.
However, he did not expect that "the house leaked and it rained all night". After the substitute mid laner posted a scarf saying that he had injured his hand and was unable to play, it immediately caused waves in the e-sports circle.
The main mid laner is suspended and the backup mid laner is injured. Is there any mid laner available for the QG team?
This question made countless fans who fell in love with QG, a dark horse, on tenterhooks. The game that was supposed to start at 6 o'clock was postponed to 7 o'clock.
However, what is supposed to come will always come. Although the QG team temporarily found the dade player and wanted to use the buff of the Emperor of Spring to tide over the difficulties in the spring competition, but because there was no prior report, even if the emperor had already arrived at the scene, it was still hindered by the
Rules cannot be used!
In the end, the opponent EDG team won without a fight and directly advanced to the final stage.
The popularity of this "one-minute best-of-five" incident far exceeded that of the Spring Finals. In addition to the split between the midfielder and jungler, it also left behind the famous scene of "Can we play 4-on-5?", which countless viewers talked about.
The Tao is widely praised.
As for the optimistic team's relegation match, no one paid attention to it all of a sudden, and the legend of the LGD team's "relegation emperor" has just begun.
Witnessing the history of e-sports again, Zhou Dongsheng, who is familiar with the past and learns the new, feels that this wave of injuries to QG's substitute mid laner is particularly strange, and it is probably intentional.
This move was mostly about abandoning the team to keep the coach. When the midfielder split and could only choose one of the two, QG management obviously made its own choice. After all, the emergence of dade player is no accident.
Of course, behind the scenes, there may also be the reason for the acquisition by the NewBee team and the change of management power. After all, once the emperor, there are always ministers.
At the same time, Principal Wang also sent a special message to Zhou Dongsheng: "You boy, you are really good at predicting things!
!”
"Hurry up and take action. If you are quick, you will have something. If you are slow, you will have nothing!"
"You don't have to tell me! I don't just want a mid laner!" Principal Wang said with great wealth.
Although the negative public opinion caused by the split between midfield and jungle was basically focused on the player doinb, it is obvious that this is not an issue that Principal Wang cares about.
After all, we are not afraid of players being controversial, but we are afraid that players are not strong enough. As long as they are strong, no matter how much negative public opinion there is, they will eventually have the opportunity to turn into traffic and use it for their own purposes. It only takes one champion to stop the crowd.
However, the cruelty of e-sports is that there can only be one champion.
Zhou Dongsheng shook his head and put away his mobile phone. At this moment, he was in a box of a private restaurant, with Liu sitting next to him.
At this time, Liu on the side expressed the question he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
"Boss, the transfer period hasn't started yet. Meeting players from other teams in private is actually against the league's regulations..."
There is another thing Liu didn't say, that is, doesn't the team already have a mid laner? Why take the risk to meet the player Wei Shen?
"Of course I know, but that's not what I'm interested in..." Before Zhou Dongsheng could finish speaking, there was a knock on the box door.
As soon as the door opened, a round pig's head stuck out, with a slightly restrained expression, and a comment suddenly popped up in Zhou Dongsheng's mind.
"Anchor, how do you sell the pork head meat in the lower right corner? 嘤嘤嘤"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, hello, Mrs. Teacher!" Gao Dewei walked in and said hello politely.
At this time, Gao Dewei was completely different from the high-spirited young genius in the exhibition match. There was an uncontrollable sense of frustration on his face, like a defeated rooster.
After the relegation match, the professional players also ushered in a short offseason, but no one within the club, from the boss to the players, could be satisfied with this result.
After all, FVMP, who spent a lot of money to invite last year's finals, was originally intended to prepare for the World Championship again, not to fight in the relegation match!
It is conceivable that there will inevitably be another wave of drastic changes in the future. The smell of a storm that is about to come makes all the players feel insecure, even Gao Dewei is no exception.
As far as Gao Dewei knows, although they are on vacation, the club's manager and coach have started a new round of trial training. The trial positions include top laner and mid laner...
Obviously, the position of the main mid laner next season will no longer be impregnable, and it is very likely that rotation will begin, with competition for positions.
Just when Gao Dewei was melancholy, he unexpectedly received news of a dinner date from Zhou Dongsheng. Although it was not in compliance with the league's regulations, Gao Dewei chose to go to the date despite much hesitation.
After all, after several encounters, the boss Zhou Dongsheng left a deep impression on Gao Dewei, as well as the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"...
Now it has completely replaced the position of Tian Dao in Gao Dewei's mind, becoming his first choice for relaxing after training...
It's just that Gao Dewei is not very clear about Zhou Dongsheng's purpose of dating him. It's impossible to let him play mid lane in IM, right?
After all, IM's main mid laner is Song Yijin. In Gao Dewei's mind, he is no less a top mid laner than Fat General. Even someone as confident as him would only dare to say "50-50".
"Wei Shen is here, we're all old friends. You're welcome, take a seat." Zhou Dongsheng greeted warmly, and Liu on the side was also smiling. As an old man, he still felt a little sorry for Wei Shen...
After all, they are both professional players, so Liu can most empathize with Wei Shen's experience, just like when he was attacked by the audience throwing water bottles after finally defeating his old enemy we...
Gao Dewei sat down with a smile. After some pleasantries, Zhou Dongsheng's approach made the atmosphere particularly harmonious.
Following the atmosphere, Gao Dewei expressed his curiosity, "Well, I don't know why Mr. Zhou came to me this time..."
"It's not a big deal, it's just a pity. I feel like it's a pity to waste your professional talent on the LGD team..." Zhou Dongsheng said bluntly.
As soon as these words came out, Liu and Gao Dewei couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded. As expected of the boss, they really dared to say it, but these words hit the heart of the confused Gao Dewei.
After all, judging from the strength on paper, the two world champions plus Gao Dewei can be regarded as a Galaxy Battleship-level team. Unexpectedly, it is a strategic nuclear submarine, diving all the way into the Class A league...
"Although relegation was successful, judging from the current points situation, if the LGD team wants to enter the World Championship again, the only possibility is to win the summer championship, and the chance is very slim..."
Zhou Dongsheng said without mercy.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Gao Dewei knew in his heart that although what Zhou Dongsheng said didn't sound good, it was the truth, but he still said it.
"In e-sports, everything is possible. The summer season hasn't started yet. It's a bit exaggerated for Mr. Zhou to say this now..." But his confidence is obviously not enough.
"Although it is a bit straightforward, for professional players, the golden age is only a few years, and wasting time is equivalent to wasting career life..."
Zhou Dongsheng followed the path of good guidance.
"President Zhou doesn't want me to transfer to IM, right? Although IM has entered the playoffs and has a slight advantage over the LGD team in terms of points, it is still difficult to enter the World Championship, not to mention there is already a main mid laner..."
Gao Dewei expressed his conjecture. Although his subconscious thought it was impossible, in Gao Dewei's view, this was the only possibility...
After all, apart from his status as a professional player, he is just a young man under the age of 20. Apart from being similar in age to Zhou Dongsheng, he has nothing worthy of praise.
"I do have this idea. I want you to join the IM club, but not the League of Legends branch, but the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds branch!"
Zhou Dongsheng did not beat around the bush and spoke directly and clearly.
As soon as these words came out, Liu couldn't understand, "Boss... this, let a talented mid laner like Wei Shen play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds? Isn't it a bit buried..."
"Moreover, League of Legends and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are two completely different games, just like the difference between football and basketball. Even if Jordan were to play football, he would not be able to beat the alien Ronaldo..."
Liu said slightly cryptically that Liu had always believed in Zhou Dongsheng's vision and ability, but this time he had to have some doubts...
Zhou Dongsheng said confidently: "Others may not be able to do it, but Wei Shen can certainly do it. I have seen his operations on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. In my opinion, his chicken-playing talent is no less than that of League of Legends, or even better."
Nothing less.”
After speaking, a pair of confident eyes looked at Wei Shen.
"I know you are very eager to prove yourself and want to enter the World Championships again, prove to the audience with your strength, and wash away the injustice you have suffered, but haste makes waste..."
"Under high-intensity training, the condition of your hands should not be optimistic, right?" Zhou Dongsheng said strategically.
"Well? Mr. Zhou has noticed all this?" Gao Dewei, who was poked at the center of things, smiled sarcastically and placed his hands unnaturally under the table.
"In the second half of the year, the domestic league of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be officially launched. At the same time, the World Invitational Tournament will be held at the end of the year. With the current popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, you should be aware of the potential of this game..."
"Instead of being a condemned sinner in the LPL league and a relegation emperor in the LGD team, it is better to change the field and be a pioneer in a brand new project..."
"There are many ways to prove yourself. If you can show superhuman talent in two completely different competitive events, it is a good way to prove yourself."
"If you can win the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds championship, it will undoubtedly be a more powerful proof. If you want to achieve this in League of Legends, it will be too difficult..."
Zhou Dongsheng's words were like a devil's whisper, bewitching the 19-year-old young man in front of him.
When Gao Dewei didn't refuse, it meant that his heart had begun to waver.
The defeat in the World Championship, the accusations from thousands of people, the insults for half a year, and the team being reduced to a relegation match...
The accumulation of various factors was like a huge mountain weighing on his heart. However, Gao Dewei held back his anger and wanted to prove himself, so he could withstand this pressure.
But Zhou Dongsheng's persuasive approach provided him with a direction he had never imagined...
"Of course, no matter how much you say, it is false. Let me tell you some practical benefits. Although you are a star player in the League of Legends project, players will always be players. It is difficult to become a boss."
"However, if you join the IM club, as long as you can lead the chicken team to win the championship, I will give you shares in the club!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost complete, Zhou Dongsheng directly drew a big cake.
Gao Dewei's eyes lit up. These words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Gao Dewei's psychological defense to completely collapse. Who can resist the temptation of being the boss?
"But... my contract with the LGD team has not expired yet..." Gao Dewei said hesitantly.
"This is not a big problem. As long as you cooperate with a play, this contract issue can be easily solved... For example, how about a play about retiring due to injury?"
Zhou Dongsheng had an idea and said in a wicked tone.
This idea must be thanked for the inspiration given to Zhou Dongsheng by the originator of "One Minute Bo5". The substitute mid laner was absent due to injury, combined with Wei Shen's overtraining...
Zhou Dongsheng's mind suddenly became active, although paying the liquidated damages out of his own pocket was not a problem for Zhou Dongsheng now.
But if you have the opportunity to spend a small amount of money to do big things, why not do it?
I just have nothing to do, so I should find some fun for myself to pass the time.
Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's a good idea!"
