"Well, Mom just watched the news. The news said that you might want to become a freelance player. You are too old. Mom should not have interfered with your decision."
"But you still have to think about it, the club is an iron rice bowl."
…
God knows how long Gao Ran's parents were reading the news after the afternoon game.
Every time they see their son appear in the news, they feel a sense of pride from the inside out.
FIFA's strongest newcomer in 2020, this new title has been assigned to Gao Yan.
Back at the dinner table, Yang Chu and Luo Xiaofei were in a very good mood. Not only did they win the championship, they also received a formal contract from a professional club.
Although it is just a rookie contract, as long as the strength improves and reaches the level of the main force, he can immediately sign a contract with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands.
For a young man of this age, the salary is hundreds of thousands a year, which is too much.
"Gao Ran, can you play StarCraft?"
Yang Chu also asked while chewing crabs if he wanted to watch a StarCraft game at night.
"know a little."
"I've played before."
Gao Ran said truthfully, but he had not touched StarCraft for so many years and had almost forgotten all the operations.
However, Gao Ran knew that he was about to start working on this project.
Because after the main mission of the Eight-School League was completed, a new main mission also appeared!
It's just that this time the main mission is actually a bit beyond Gao Ran's expectations.
Main mission: [Eight Schools League] [Completed]
Main mission: [Ultimate personal ability] [In progress]
Mission goal: National champion of StarCraft 2 project!
Mission reward: 300 time points, 75 attribute points
Penalty for mission failure: None.
…
Gao Ran originally thought that he had to complete the Grand Slam of the FIFA project before he could start training for the next project.
At least that was his original plan, but the new main mission is called Ultimate Personal Ability, which of course refers to the StarCraft 2 project.
StarCraft 2 is a game that requires very high personal abilities, and it is also very difficult to get started.
However, with the plug-in of the system and the reward of this eight-school league championship, at least enough sweat has been put into learning StarCraft, and at least there is no big problem in getting started.
Since the first task, the system has not had any penalties for task failure.
Maybe it's also because it would be too embarrassing if the first mission failed...
The system has not completely planned Gao Ran's career path and fully controlled Gao Ran's life. Now Gao Ran can play in the FIFA league or the world championship to compete for the world championship.
It's just that the ambition is not that big.
Then again, what's the difference between having a system and no ambition and being a salty fish?
Moreover, the rewards from the main missions are so generous, and with the side missions from FIFA and StarCraft 2, it feels like you can raise all your attributes to very high levels in a short period of time.
It will be much easier to study then.
"It's a pity it's not DOTA..."
Gao Ran murmured, he was still thinking about the girl named Ye Jianing.
It happened that Yang Chu heard this, and A Kong and Luo Xiaofei also laughed jokingly. Yang Chu also said:
"If you like it, go for it."
A Kong also smiled and said:
"At least you know what the result will be if I chase you. Don't let me regret it."
"If you chase and succeed, everyone will be happy. If you fail, you won't feel regretful."
"It's just that I feel like I'm losing face. You'll understand when you get older."
"And I always feel that love during student days is the most beautiful."
Gao Ran also nodded. Although he was not young at heart, he really didn't have much emotional experience.
I only chased a girl when I was in college. I chased her for a long time, but the two of them were destined to be together and they didn't get together in the end.
…
The emergence of Gao Ran is considered news in the small circle of FIFA.
Looking at the entire eSports community, it is like an insignificant pebble dropped into the vast ocean without any ripples.
Among all seven projects, FIFA has the lowest traffic and relatively few die-hard fans.
The ratings of the game are pretty good, and that’s because football is something that most men can understand, so even if they don’t know how to play, they can still watch it with gusto.
During the StarCraft game in the evening, Gao Ran came to the arena nervously and prepared to ask Ye Jianing for his contact information.
Unfortunately, Ye Jianing did not come in the evening, and not many team members from other departments came.
"There is no Phoenix game tonight, so it's normal if I don't come."
Yang Chu secretly said in Gao Ran's ear. He saw Gao Ran's eyes wandering and knew who he was looking for.
"It's okay. If you don't have a chance these days, I'll get it for you before I leave."
"Brother, that's interesting."
Yang Chu hammered his chest. After returning to school after the eight-school league, he would go through the withdrawal procedures and officially join a professional club.
He was also very grateful to Gao Ran for this trip.
Gave him so many opportunities to show off.
It also gave him a taste of what it's like to be a champion.
Um...although the display may be ordinary...
But after all, he was noticed, right?
Sitting down in his seat, Gao Ran also carefully began to watch the semi-finals of StarCraft 2 on the starting court.
After using the system for so long, Gao Ran also discovered that there are some things that the system can teach and some things that it cannot.
For example, there is something called game feeling, and there are some changes in thinking.
In the system, technology, operation, and even game experience can be learned, but in e-sports, tactical things account for a high proportion.
For example, this human player from Jiangnan Academy on the field went directly to the camp and beat his opponent to death, defeating the weak with the strong!
…
The StarCraft game at night also attracts a lot of attention. Although the game StarCraft has passed its golden period.
However, in the current environment of the e-sports era, there has been a trend of recovery.
Domestic professional leagues are also gradually developing, but the level of Chinese players is relatively average. Even in domestic professional leagues, Chinese players who can be active in the professional arena are basically cannon fodder once they reach the World Championships.
StarCraft in South Korea was already developing in the early 21st century. At that time, StarCraft could be regarded as a national skill in South Korea.
From the earliest days, the human emperor Boxer, an e-sports player, was already a well-known star.
Later, Jaedong the Great Demon King (Z), Master Flash (T), Commander Stork (P), and Bisu Dagger (P) became the Four Heavenly Kings.
After that, a series of geniuses such as the Great Rain God and the God Emperor emerged one after another.
In the current StarCraft 2 era, we no longer know which generation of players are competing in this pure RTS game.
The history of China's StarCraft has been fought by generations of professional players. In the current Chinese StarCraft circle, only IME has the strength to reach the first to second tier in the world, and its world ranking is probably around 30-40th.
Gao Ran also plans to learn this game from scratch.
