A young man who was just a few days away from turning 18 stretched out and pushed his luggage out of the station and followed the crowd.
I’ve been flying a lot, so it’s good to take the high-speed rail occasionally…
Gao Ran is no longer the same person it was a year ago. Several people recognized Gao Ran when we were having lunch at KFC. After all, Gao Ran’s popularity is pretty good now.
Moreover, many reports about young geniuses have made ordinary people who don’t pay much attention to e-sports aware of such a figure.
A year ago, Gao Ran's height was not very good, but now that he is about to reach adulthood, Gao Ran's height has also increased to 1.81 meters.
Coupled with exercising every day, I have a well-proportioned figure and handsome appearance, and I look like a star when walking on the road.
Being recognized by many people can be considered a blessing and a worry. The joy is that I feel really happy inside, but the worry is that it is quite annoying to have many people come to take photos with you while you are having a meal.
I casually took a few bites of chicken wings and left in a hurry.
After getting into a taxi, he explained the address of Dream Club and headed towards his new team.
Gao Ran also wants to go to other clubs to play professional games, but there are two reasons for staying at Dream. The first reason is the relationship between Ye's father and Ye Jianing, which makes Gao Ran feel that this club is like home.
Another reason is Dad Ye’s promise.
E-sports players have very little say in e-sports clubs because of contractual restrictions.
In a sense, this is a business market, and it can be said that many professional clubs will exploit players in some aspects to gain profits.
If you are disobedient, your contract may be stuck and your career may be affected.
But Dream doesn't.
Father Ye trusts Gao Ran very much, but Gao Ran has indeed proved that he has the qualifications with his ability.
Although the Dream PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds branch hired professional coaches and several professional players, its results have not improved.
The addition of Gao Ran may bring new vitality to this team.
…
Each branch of Dream is a dedicated villa. Most of the branches are in Shanghai, but there is no connection with each other.
After re-establishing Dream, Dad Ye gradually made the club bigger by virtue of his ability and the influence brought by Gao Ran.
Each branch is also establishing professional teams.
Gao Ran got out of the taxi, saw the villa, which was not particularly large, and walked in with his luggage.
Wang Qiang, the leader of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds branch, had already received the news of Gao Ranhui's arrival today. He had been sitting on the first floor waiting. When he saw a handsome young man entering the door, he immediately greeted him with a smile!
"Hello Gao Ran, I am Wang Qiang, the leader of the Dream PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds division."
"Hello."
Gao Ran shook hands with Wang Qiang politely. Wang Qiang saw Gao Ran in person for the first time and secretly marveled in his heart.
Gao Ran doesn't look like an 18-year-old child at all. He is mature and steady, and his temperament has a star-like feel.
The temperament is different from that of many professional players.
Most professional players actually have very low academic qualifications, and most of them are teenagers addicted to the internet, so their image is average.
"Sister Ru, help me carry my luggage."
Wang Qiang said to the aunt next to him, Gao Ran waved his hand quickly:
"No, no, I can do it myself."
Gao Ran has hands and feet, and he is not a big-name star. He really can't do it by asking his aunt to carry his luggage.
"Team training is on the 2nd floor, and rooms are available on the 2nd and 3rd floors."
Wang Qiang also looked embarrassed and said:
"Before you came, the better rooms were all taken."
"So the remaining rooms are relatively small..."
Gao Ran smiled and said:
"It's okay, just have a bed."
Wang Qiang was relieved by Gao Ran's courtesy and took Gao Ran to the second floor. Gao Ran chose a room and moved in. The place was still very clean.
Wang Qiang knew that Gao Ran had a close relationship with his boss, so his attitude towards Gao Ran was completely different.
"The team is now playing training matches, and there will be a gold match knockout match tonight."
"I know."
Gao Ran nodded. He took a look at Dream's record and schedule before coming.
The Gold Tournament knockout rounds lasted for two days. After the first day, Dream ranked 13th in the loser group. There is still a chance to advance to the next round, but they have to perform well tonight.
"You have been in the car for so long. You should take a rest first. After the training match in the afternoon, I will introduce the team members to you."
"okay."
"Then if nothing happens, I'll go out first. If you need anything, just call me on WeChat."
"good."
…
Esports is cruel.
There are only so many positions in a team, and some will play the main role while others will be benched.
The arrival of Gao Ran will definitely change the main force of the existing Dream team.
There are currently 6 team members in the Dream PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds division.
2 new players and 4 players with more than 1 year of professional experience.
The player with the highest market price is the former KZ team's breakthrough player Asp, who is also the team's captain for the time being.
The team is training, and it is indeed not good for Gao Ran to enter the training room now. Dream's usual training games are also broadcast live, so there is not much that can be done.
Because it is difficult to make any money in e-sports, you can only rely on sponsorship and advertising, and the bonuses belong to the players.
Live streaming can bring some benefits to the club.
But if you look at it from a professional e-sports perspective, this is absolutely unreasonable.
Live streaming can bring fame and profit to players. If Gao Ran denies him, he will definitely ruin his career and money.
Although the prize money for each event is very large, only the top team players can take it.
Most of the players still earn wages from the club.
This is a profession after all.
Because of the existence of Gao Ran, Dream’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds branch actually has a lot of traffic. Many Gao Ran fans came to learn about Dream in advance after learning that Gao Ran was about to join Dream.
It also makes the number of viewers of the live broadcasts of Dream members look much better, especially the core of the team, Asp, whose popularity is already comparable to that of some first-line players' live broadcasts.
Gao Ran watched Dream’s training games while lying in bed in the afternoon.
It's not that Gao Ran deliberately belittled Dream, but the fight was indeed a bit ugly. Asp's marksmanship was good, and the team focused on him.
However, both groups were wiped out due to Asp's aggressive advance.
After each set, I didn’t hear any regrets or replays from the team, either:
"How did you hit me?"
Either:
"I can't help it, I was beaten in seconds."
Then the next training match started happily.
Professional attitude is almost 0.
Looking at the entire PUBG community, this seems to have become the norm.
Gao Ran also scratched his head and realized the seriousness of the problem. There is still a long way to go...
When playing StarCraft, in individual competitions, you just have to rely on yourself.
When playing Dota, Ye Jianing and Zhao Hao, as newcomers and good friends of Gao Ran, had very good professional attitudes. The two veteran players, Me and Sera, were also very serious.
