As for what events Gao Ran will participate in, the most popular guess is CSGO.
It’s not that I doubt Gao Ran’s ability, it’s just that Gao Ran has the greatest confidence in CSGO.
Although Gao Ran is very good at games like Dota 2 and StarCraft, they were all a few years ago. If Gao Ran wants to play, he can definitely come back with his ability.
No one will doubt that he has returned to the top, but it is true that CSGO has just won a world championship.
Especially since domestic CSGO is not strong, leading the Chinese CSGO national team to win the World Cup with a high-energy personality that loves challenges sounds very challenging.
However, Gao Ran himself said that he has not made a decision yet, and the audience will definitely not make the decision for him.
Gao Ran continued his normal live broadcasting life, and even took a short vacation to go shopping around with Ye Jianing twice.
One month later, the news of the E-Sports World Cup was completely confirmed!
What viewers all over the world who are waiting for news about the E-Sports World Cup did not expect is that this time the E-Sports World Cup will be jointly hosted by China, Japan and South Korea!
Shanghai, China, Seoul, South Korea, Tokyo, Japan.
The fundamental reason why the three countries jointly host the event is that there are indeed many projects, and many slightly niche projects that everyone thought would not be included in the World Cup have been included in the World Cup.
Indeed, the hosting of this World Cup may save many e-sports clubs and e-sports projects.
In terms of major e-sports events, Shanghai, China hosts Dota 2 and CSGO. In these two events, Chinese teams have an absolute advantage.
South Korea hosts StarCraft 2, LOL and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds competitions. Korean teams are traditionally strong teams in these events.
Japan hosts FIFA and Glory projects, as well as Rainbow Six and other projects.
Japan is called an e-sports desert, but Japanese teams are still competitive in these projects.
Moreover, Japan also wants to use this e-sports World Cup to increase the influence of e-sports in the country and develop the e-sports industry.
…
When the news first came out, Gao Ran himself was thinking about it. In fact, Gao Ran was not given a lot of time. The Chinese New Year is coming in three months, and after the Chinese New Year it will be training time for the major national teams.
Major clubs will also give way to the training and selection of the national team.
Gao Ran has the ability to participate in two events at the same time and can bring about earth-shaking changes to the team, but doing so is too tiring and will cause a lot of public opinion.
Don’t make yourself a treasure, nor do you make the team a treasure.
What Gao Ran is thinking about is which project to participate in.
In fact, the leaders of several projects have found Gao Ran. Indeed, with Gao Ran’s current status and popularity, even the person in charge of LOL, who had never been in contact with Gao Ran, asked Gao Ran if he was willing.
League of Legends is also in decline now, and it is in urgent need of a star player to bring the popularity of the game back.
The sudden appearance of such a world competition is not a burden for Gao Ran, but rather exciting.
Any domestic e-sports player will have a strong sense of national honor by representing the country.
"Gao Ran, what are you going to do? Give me an answer quickly, everyone is urging me."
Ye Jianing also asked Gao Ran privately.
Not only is Gao Ran popular, but Ye Jianing is also popular.
The Dota2 project and the CSGO project both asked her to join the coaching team as the team leader.
What Ye Jianing thinks is that if Gao Ran plays Dota2, she will fight with Gao Ran. If Gao Ran chooses to play CSGO, then she will become the team leader of CSGO.
"What do you want me to do."
Gao Ran also asked with a smile.
Ye Jianing said naturally:
"You make your own decision."
In fact, Ye Jianing has a faint hope in his heart, hoping that Gao Ran will return to Dota 2. After all, that arena is where their dreams began, and it was also the world championship that the two of them won.
If she becomes a coach and Gao Ran becomes a player again, it will be a good story.
However, as Gao Ran's girlfriend, she will not interfere with any of Gao Ran's decisions.
"Okay, I'm going to Gongguang."
Gao Ran also knew that Ye Jianing's heart was in Dota 2, so he also spoke.
"Glory?"
"can you?"
"You can't even carry me!"
Ye Jianing also joked that it is true that Gao Ran's current level is still far behind the first-line professional level.
"Isn't there still three months left?"
"I can practice."
"You do not trust me?"
"Believe it, no one can help but believe you."
Ye Jianing chuckled and kissed Gao Ran.
Gao Ran understands her words very well and will definitely join the Dota 2 coaching staff.
In fact, Ye Jianing has played StarCraft, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Glory, but for her, the game she loves most is Dota2.
"How about we return to Dota2 tonight?"
"sure."
"good."
The two of them have made their decisions, so there is no burden on Gao Ran. At least he can reply to the messages from the contacts in each branch.
All major branches have actually discussed it, and no matter what decision Gao Ran makes, they will happily accept it. After Gao Ran contacted Rongguang's contact, they also promised to give Gao Ran a seat for training and selection.
High burning also means OK.
Everyone is starting from the same starting point. Otherwise, even if Gao Ran is directly selected into the national team, even if his strength is good, both the players and the audience will still have great opinions.
At that time, professional players from major clubs will be selected together. It will be very simple. Whoever is better will be selected, and then the coaching staff will make the selection.
This may be Gao Ran's first real coach in his career.
That night, Gao Ran started the live broadcast and opened the long-lost Dota2.
When this scene appeared, countless viewers said that Ye Qing was back!!
You must know that the last time Gao Ran played Dota was a few years ago. His account with more than 11,000 points has always been ranked first in the ladder, and it is still the first in the ladder.
The 11,500 points in the national server is so terrifying that no one can even touch it.
"Today I will play a Dota game, and in the evening I will play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."
"No one should have any objections."
Gao Ran laughed during the live broadcast and said, "How can anyone have an opinion on this?"
And everyone’s first reaction is that Gao Ran is coming back to play Dota!
Gao Ran is coming back to play in the World Cup! Gao Ran is joining the Dota2 national team!
Ye Qing is back!
The news spread instantly, and rumors from many self-identified "industry insiders" also made Gao Ran's future a mystery...
Many people went to the Chinese captain xiao8, the person in charge of Dota 2, to ask questions.
Xiao8 doesn’t know the specific situation either.
Returning to Dota, Gao Ran is obviously not as powerful as before. He can even finish his last hit quickly, but this does not hinder the fans' pursuit and love.
With the passage of time, Gao Ran’s whereabouts has become the biggest mystery in today’s e-sports circle!
Gao Ran’s decision has not been announced for a long time.
In fact, not only people in the Chinese e-sports circle, but also people in various foreign e-sports circles are waiting for the exciting news.
Once Gao Ran joins a project, the Chinese team for that project must be the biggest enemy!
