After the Asian Games qualifiers ended, Zhuge Liang returned to his daily work in V5.
Also accompanying the team to the V5 club base was a photography team filming an e-sports documentary.
This e-sports documentary aims to focus on the current situation and development of domestic e-sports, and the Asian Games exhibition games are only part of the material.
As a newly started e-sports club, V5 with a weak foundation has spent a lot of money on youth training.
Youth training is related to the future of the team. A team that relies solely on buying and selling will never be able to cultivate the foundation of a wealthy team.
In addition, Zhuge Liang also ingeniously opened an "e-sports persuasion business" for the general public.
The photography team was very interested in this, so they planned to go to V5 Club to collect materials and shoot, and then go to other clubs to visit and record.
……
The host must be given face. Zhuge Liang led the camera team throughout the entire process and personally introduced the status of the youth training camp and the e-sports dismissal business that is favored by parents.
"Nowadays, many children think that professional players only play games and compete every day. They can also become famous and make a lot of money. They can also transform into anchors after retiring in the future. They feel that there is such a good thing in the world, and they are very eager to enter this circle."
Zhuge Liang said slowly.
In the spacious and bright base, you can see many young faces, facing the computer screen for daily training.
However, unlike the "Internet-addicted teenagers" in the public's traditional impression, these children who came for trial training showed no joy at all on their faces.
"In fact, the threshold for e-sports is very high, and it may be more difficult than getting admitted to a prestigious university. Some children regard playing a career as a way to escape their studies. However, after coming here, they find that playing a career is more difficult than going to school.
Not only do you have to strictly abide by the schedule, but you also have to learn a variety of knowledge. Compared with the exams in school, the assessment and elimination system here are more cruel and intense. At least 90% of the children will not be able to persist."
Zhuge Liang pointed to an area and said.
The camera then moved over, and you could see two assistant coaches grading the children who had just finished the training match.
One of the smallest boys was lying on the keyboard, crying and looking very sad.
Huang Bingbing immediately stepped forward to interview with a microphone, and finally calmed down the good boy.
"Hello, kid, how old are you this year?" Huang Bingbing asked.
"12 years old." The boy wiped away his tears and replied with sobs.
"Why were you crying so sadly just now?" Huang Bingbing roughly calculated that she was about to enter junior high school at the age of 12.
"This game is too difficult! I, I am the only platinum master in our class. My classmates say that my vn is as good as my idol Uzi! But since I came here, I have never won a single vn.
In every training match, the ratings are always at the bottom!" As he spoke, the boy started crying again.
To put it simply, I was beaten to tears.
No, to be precise, I was struck to the point of doubting life.
"It's amazing to be able to win platinum at the age of 12, isn't it?" Huang Bingbing turned to ask Zhuge Liang.
"Among ordinary people, it is indeed pretty good, but there are many geniuses in the professional circle. Take the child's idol Uzi as an example. Uzi was only 15 years old when he became a professional player. There used to be an anchor on the Internet who was 12 years old.
He was named the king at the age of 18, which caused quite a stir." Zhuge Liangsi introduced him slowly.
The youth training camp is equivalent to a "severe beating" from society, so that these children who come for trial training and feel good about themselves can have a clear and correct understanding of themselves.
There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world.
Perhaps looking at a small group, these children can be considered talented.
But if you want to enter this professional circle where geniuses gather together, it’s not enough!
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the area on the other side.
A student who looked a little older was smashing the keyboard in a state of collapse, with a rather ferocious look on his face.
"I don't want to play games anymore! I don't want to be a professional player anymore, I want to go home! Woohoo, I want to go back to school!"
After smashing the keyboard hysterically, the student lay on the ground sobbing.
The staff next to me seemed to be used to this, and they very skillfully stepped forward to clean up the mess, and contacted the parents of the students to come pick them up.
"Professional players have a huge amount of daily training. More than ten hours of mechanical and boring training a day can be said to be the norm, and they must adapt to staying up late. In addition, we have also opened some theoretical courses to explain many contents inside and outside the game to help them
Understand this industry better. In comparison, I think the academic pressure in school is easier." Zhuge Liang then took everyone to visit classrooms, canteens, rest areas and other facilities.
Those students who avoid their studies and come up with the idea of taking a career will find it quite novel at first when they come here. When the novelty gradually wears off, they will realize that playing games can be such a painful thing, and they may even feel like vomiting at one point.
situation.
Before I came here, I felt that I would never get tired of playing this game. After I came here, I wanted to drag the game icon into the recycle bin.
"This is just the threshold for entering the profession. If you want to become a professional player and enter the arena, or even be active in top events, there are only a small number of people at the top of the pyramid. I personally recommend that people with a passion for gaming
Young people who are pursuing their dreams must be very cautious, as pursuing a career does not mean you can reap rewards with passion or hard work alone, it would be better to say that most people have wasted their most precious youth." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice. If e-sports wants to gain public recognition, it must first let the public understand this industry, including the cruel and cold side.
"At this stage, our system is still not perfect, and many supporting things cannot keep up, so it is inevitable that there will be some chaos. And those who are trying to get into this circle are mostly still in the ignorant stage.
Children, whose outlook on life has not yet been fully formed, can easily be dazzled by temptations along the way. This not only requires self-restraint and management within our industry, but also requires attention and supervision from external equipment." Zhuge Liang continued. p>
Neither deify nor demonize, correct understanding is the first step.
"We hope that our documentary can allow the public to understand the world of e-sports more truly, and we also wish that e-sports can have a brighter future." Huang Bingbing said sincerely.
Through this shooting, she finally understood Zhuge Liang’s good intentions.
Zhuge Liang will take time out of her busy work to cooperate with the photography team in visiting and shooting, not just because she is the host.
I hope that the e-sports industry will become formalized. This is its original intention!
