FIFA and StarCraft are also based in Shanghai. Although they don't attract much attention, the conditions are even better than those of other departments.
The new base was just moved here after the year, because the original base was too small. Now Dream has grown bigger, the FIFA department has been reorganized, and the interstellar branch has been established.
The number of people in these two branches is not large, and they don't need any coaches. One department and one base is too luxurious.
Gao Ran entered the gate of the base with his luggage. Wan Wenxi and his teammates from the department were waiting for Gao Ran at the gate of the base.
Not only people from the FIFA department but also teammates from the Interstellar department.
"Hurry up, I've reserved a room for you. I'll take you out to have a meal."
Wan Wenxi patted Gao Ran. Players from these two divisions usually live together and have a good relationship. In addition, Gao Ran and Wan Wenxi are even more familiar with each other.
The team members still consciously reserved the best room for Gao Ran, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for the strong.
It would be fine if Gao Ran was a pure traffic player, but Gao Ran is already the world champion in DOTA2 and PUBG.
And it is said that he has good attainments in StarCraft and FIFA.
Gao Ran’s current status in the e-sports circle is the undisputed No. 1.
Although you are young, no matter what your thoughts are, you still have to respect Yishou.
Gao Ran put his things in the room, and several friends outside the door were waiting for Gao Ran.
The manager of the base is also an old acquaintance of Gao Ran, Wang Qiang?
Gao Ran was also a little surprised, thinking why you came here too, aren't you from the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds department?
Wang Qiang winked at Gao Ran, meaning you understand.
It was Ye's father's intention to emphasize Wang. Gao Ran and Wang Qiang worked very happily together when they were working in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds department.
Wang Qiang is very smart. When he was in the department, he was basically the boss's microphone. When Gao Ran came here, Wang Qiang tried his best to provide some convenience to Gao Ran.
At least I don’t want what happened in the PUBG department to happen again.
"Let's go and have a meal together."
"My treat."
Wan Wenxi spoke loudly, but Gao Ran did not refute.
It would be too disrespectful for him to push and yell when his brothers treat him to a treat. In the worst case, it would be fine to just treat them to a few more meals.
…
Needless to say, the relationship between Gao Ran and Wan Wenxi is not much to say. They also communicate with these two newcomers from the Interstellar Department online frequently, and they are relatively familiar with each other.
Chatting is not as restrictive as it was at the beginning in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds department.
In a private room of a barbecue restaurant in Shanghai, six players from both clubs, plus Wang Qiang and the FIFA club team leader, sat together. The content of the chat was still mainly high-energy.
"Hey, Gao Ran, didn't you say you wanted to play FIFA?"
"I can't wait to discuss the results with you and go to the Interstellar Branch. Holy shit."
A young man with a crew cut in the FIFA department also said that he had heard from Wan Wenxi that Gao Ran was very powerful, but he had never played against him.
"You don't want to fight on both sides again, do you?"
Wan Wenxi took a bite of the roasted meat and was not surprised by the high-burning operation.
2 years ago, didn't Gao Ran also win the StarCraft National Championship while competing against Ye Zhou? This operation is not surprising at all.
"No, isn't the FIFA World Championship in the second half of the year?"
Gao Ran also replied that it is definitely impossible to hold two high-intensity professional competitions at the same time, and the time must be planned well.
"You're just going to play in the World Finals?"
"yes."
Wan Wenxi also learned about Gao Ran's thoughts for the first time and was a little speechless.
The FIFA World Finals invites the top 20 players in the world, and the remaining 12 places are selected from overseas.
Gao Ran means that you can directly compete in the audition?
This idea...
That's crazy.
"You have thought about it."
Wan Wenxi also reminded that as a friend, he definitely hopes that Gao Ran will be more cautious in making decisions now. Every performance of Gao Ran will be made a big fuss about now.
If Gao Ran directly participated in the World Finals and failed, the media would definitely think that Gao Ran was inflated or wanted to eat a fat man.
"rest assured."
"I know it well."
Gao Ran smiled.
He already had his plan in mind.
It's April now. He finished playing in the StarCraft League almost in June. From June to July, he will play in an ESL tournament to try to get a direct invitation to the StarCraft Global Finals.
If he gets it successfully, he will start high-intensity training in the FIFA program in July and August and give up the interstellar competition for half a year.
After playing the FIFA Finals in October, I will come back to practice StarCraft.
For ordinary people, this may be a bit too ambitious, but for Gao Ran who has a system in place, it is not difficult.
Gao Ran and Wan Wenxi briefly talked about their thoughts. Wan Wenxi was speechless and could only persuade Gao Ran to think about it.
From his point of view, with Gao Ran's current status and fame, there is no need to do such risky things.
The benefits are far less than the risks.
But Gao Ran still said the same thing, he wanted to challenge himself.
It is precisely because he has experienced the feeling of mediocrity that he is unwilling to be mediocre now.
At least in the golden age of your career, you can work hard if you can.
"Okay, come on."
"Brother, try to enter the World Championship. I'll wait for you at the World Championship."
Wan Wenxi knows what kind of person Gao Ran is, and he owes a large part of the credit for being where he is now.
If my brother wants to challenge, he will definitely support him fully.
The two little brothers in the Interstellar branch are a little cautious and under a lot of pressure.
They are the two best students of the StarCraft program at Phoenix Esports Academy last year. One has just turned 18 and the other has just turned 19. They are both younger than Gao Ran.
In terms of experience, they are not as rich as Gao Ran, and they look like two young men who are inexperienced in the world.
One of them is a little calmer, and the other is a little nervous.
It was the first time they met Gao Ran, a legendary student from Phoenix E-Sports Academy, and they were actually very stressed.
They know what their level is, and they will play in the domestic golden league. 99.99% of them will hold back Gao Ran.
They had had contact with Gao Ran before, and when Gao Ran came to the club, the pressure became even greater.
When Gao Ran got up and started training the next day, the two newcomers were already practicing.
They are under a lot of pressure, and they also know that high-intensity training is very intense and their abilities may not be reached, but their attitude must be there.
I also knew Gao Ran’s requirements for his teammates through various reports.
"You two don't need to be under so much pressure."
"You should be said to be the least stressed."
Gao Ran was providing psychological counseling while pointing out the problems of the two newcomers.
"You are newcomers. If you want to defeat those players who have been practicing for 5 or 10 years as soon as you enter the industry, it is almost impossible in the StarCraft industry."
Gao Ran was originally speaking seriously, but one of the young men said "What about you?" Gao Ran was instantly speechless.
