Chapter 49 What is your career without confidence?
The national competition is getting closer and closer, and the entire Phoenix E-Sports Academy is gradually starting to get busy!
The national competition actually gives these young players a chance to become famous.
All E-Sports Academy students can participate in competitions, including some passer-by ladder games.
Of course, ordinary players are not eligible. To sign up to participate in the competition, you must at least prove that you have an account that has been verified with high scores.
Otherwise, countless novices would come to participate in the competition and no one knows how long it would take.
Even registered professional players must start from the first round of auditions, which is also a feature of national competitions.
There are 8 regions, with 4 players (teams) from each region, and a total of 32 teams will go to Shanghai to compete offline in the knockout rounds.
Different events require different rounds. FIFA events require a total of 7 rounds, while StarCraft only requires 5 rounds. The number of participants is different.
The audition competition is very cruel. Except for the qualifying match, which is Bo3, all other rounds of the FIFA project are Bo1. The winner is determined by one set.
Because the single set time of StarCraft matches is relatively short, they are all Bo3.
…
After Gao Ran signed up for StarCraft and FIFA, he was called over by Fang Hang for an education.
He said that you can't do two things at once and concentrate on playing FIFA. He has seen so many players who do two things but achieve nothing.
Gao Ran was very grateful to Fang Hang for the reminder. No matter what the reason was, at least he was sincerely giving him advice.
However, Gao Ran will still be "stubborn" and choose to participate. Maybe no one can understand it.
Ye Jianing and Gao Ran were walking on campus. Since Gao Ran's brief confession, the relationship between the two has become closer and closer.
It is not that important whether there is a ritualistic confession and agreement.
I don’t have much experience chasing girls, but I know one truth after living for so many years.
That is "Confession on WeChat is more in vain".
There are too many reasons. The first is that confessing in person shows that you are a man and that you are sincere. The second is that you can make some judgments through the other person's facial expressions and have room for buffering.
The most important thing is that confessing love in person will make both people more nervous, and the joy of looking at each other cannot be compared to the Internet.
There is a saying that goes well: Confession is always a song of victory, not a clarion call for charge.
Failure is nothing but embarrassment. What do grown men fear from embarrassment?
Gao Ran and Ye Jianing chatted happily.
"Gao Ran, have you ever played DOTA?"
This was the first time Ye Jianing asked Gao Ran this question.
Gao Ran shook his head:
"I've never played before, I'm a cloud player."
"But the e-sports players I admire most are DOTA players."
Gao Ran has played DOTA1 for a while, but has basically never been exposed to DOTA2, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t watch DOTA games.
"Who, who, who..."
Ye Jianing shook her burning arms and asked. As a student in the Dota 2 department, she has different emotions towards the Dota 2 game.
"Maybe."
Gao Ran said with certainty.
Maybe, LGD club player, China’s No. 1 mid laner.
There are only two words that give people the impression: reckless and crazy.
However, his career is not perfect, and he has not yet had a real Ti champion.
"Why Maybe."
Ye Jianing asked curiously.
"The first time I came into contact with computer games was watching Maybe playing Dota 1, and then I started to appreciate his character more."
"If you don't win championships, what kind of career is there?"
"Right."
Ye Jianing looked at such Gao Ran and felt Gao Ran's characteristics and charm.
Strong self-confidence.
Maybe once publicly stated after a defeat:
Sooner or later, I will win the championship with my own hands. Don't let me get too arrogant. If you don't have confidence, what profession will you pursue?
This sentence touched Gao Ran deeply.
Without confidence, you can't do anything well, which may be called arrogance.
But if you want to enter the professional arena and become a professional player, your goal is always to be the champion.
"Come on for the national competition."
Ye Jianing smiled and said.
…
The national competition in June is a big competition in China, and its weight is comparable to that of professional leagues.
After the registration deadline for each event, all participating lists and matchups will be released!
There are four districts A, B, C, and D. Only one player from each district can advance to the national finals.
So partitioning is very important.
"Ahhhhh..."
"Gao Ran, you're done, you're in the same area as Master Ye Zhou!"
"Fuck, you're done, you're done..."
Wan Wenxi rushed into Gao Ran's room with his notebook in his arms. Gao Ran didn't notice that it was already 2 o'clock and the match list came out.
Ye Zhou, ID: Skiff, is currently the No. 1 player in China's FIFA rankings. He will also appear in the World Championships. His best result is the top 8 in the World Championships.
It was such a coincidence that Gao Ran and the No. 1 player were assigned to the same area.
"Sure enough, East China District is not a place to stay."
"Damn it, there are RNG's Light and TSG's in your Group B..."
"Looking back at my grouping now, although there is not much chance..."
"But it's more normal than your group."
Wan Wenxi said worriedly about Gao Ran.
He feels that with Gao Ran’s strength, 99.99% of them can’t beat this group, but Gao Ran is definitely more than the audition level!
Gao Ran looked through the list. To be honest, he didn't know much about professional players...
I only know a few top players, and one of them is Ye Zhou.
There is a saying in the e-sports circle that anyone who can be remembered by their real name and not just their ID is a very powerful player.
This Ye Zhou is the top player in FIFA!
You can count on one hand all the players in China who can compete with him.
Seeing Gao Ran's nonchalant expression, Wan Wenxi asked in disbelief:
"Gao Ran, don't you feel hopeless?"
Gao Ran found it a bit funny:
"What's the point of being desperate? It won't affect the outcome. Just give it a try and see."
Wan Wenxi gave a thumbs up, OK, you are awesome...
Gao Ran has never played against such a top player. It would be really exciting if he could play against him.
Gao Ran flipped through the interstellar groups again.
Well, I basically don’t know them, and my knowledge of domestic players is basically zero. First, the exposure time is relatively short, and second, because when studying professional players, they all study top Korean, European and American players.
The level of interstellar in China is really not high...
The time with the best results was only among the top 32 in the World Championship.
But when I saw my opponent in the first round, Gao Ran, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was so familiar with this ID.
ID: F91, Brother Sun, the leading StarCraft commentator in China, has always called himself a professional player, but SCBOY formed with Brother Huang has indeed promoted the development of Chinese StarCraft.
His status in the StarCraft circle should be firmly No. 1. The first generation of players to represent China's StarCraft to the world was only more than ten years ago.
Brother Sun actually wanted to experience this kind of domestic competition.
Brother Sun's level is no different from that of Zhiji now. The ladder level is estimated to be around 5000. He can probably beat the high-burning game 2 months ago, and there will be no problem now.
