Gao Ran’s Weibo updated a long article two days later.
This long article is definitely the biggest bombshell in the history of e-sports.
High burning...
Really retired!
Countless fans of Gao Ran are still digesting the joy of winning the World Cup and the joy of Gao Ran and Ye Jianing finally achieving success.
Is this news surprising to everyone? To be honest, it’s not that surprising.
The news about Gao Ran's retirement was discussed by everyone when Gao Ran retired from CSGO more than a year ago, but Gao Ran gave them a surprise and reappeared in the World Cup.
This time it's really coming to an end.
Although it is difficult for everyone to accept it, they can only accept it.
Following Gao Ran's handwritten letter, everyone seemed to have returned to Gao Ran's legendary journey.
This is not only the burning spring, but also their youth.
…
Fire:
【Seven years】
I am retiring from my beloved e-sports arena.
This decision was not difficult. I have a lot to say, but I don’t know where to start.
In the past seven years, I have devoted almost all of my youth to e-sports, and I have achieved what I want.
During these seven years, I have worked hard to maintain my passion for the game, constantly set goals for myself, and worked like a madman to stand on top of the world.
I really like what Nash, the son of the wind, said in his retirement statement.
He said, "The best gift God has given me is that I can devote all my passion and efforts to the things I love."
I like this sentence very much. There are too many people who have influenced me on my road to success. I can't list their names one by one, but I want to mention a few.
My relatives.
My parents have always supported me, and Jianing’s father has always given me opportunities and the ladder to keep climbing.
From the moment my uncle invited me to join Dream when he was in college, I secretly made up my mind to become a legend of Chinese e-sports.
Jia Ning.
From the moment I came into contact with e-sports, he has been silently supporting me and encouraging me when I collapsed.
We won the world championship together and stood side by side on the championship stage.
No matter what decision I make, you will always be the one who supports me 100%.
Wan Wenxi.
My best brother, he always said that he learned a lot from me, but in fact I also learned a lot from him.
And my former teammates.
Too many.
r,me,Zhao Hao, Chen Tianxin, Ji Zifei, Feichi, Li Penan, Ozawa, Zhou Zijian, Li Zekai, Tang Lingfeng, Ye Rong, Smy, Qingfeng, Lin Kai, Suning...
As I type these names, the days of fighting with you are still echoing in my mind.
I have always had some regrets about the Ti11 World Finals.
I regret that I did not show off my blue cat and my shadow demon in the finals, haha, this is the truth.
There are only 4 games in the finals, and I have too many heroes that I want to play.
My first world championship, I had never been so excited at that time.
PUBG World Finals.
We at Dream are united and have entered into a terrifying training camp before the game even started. We are determined to win this championship.
In a desperate situation, we defeated the world's top teams again and again, and finally won the world championship without any dispute!
The StarCraft competition also impressed me.
That was the first time I really had a great feeling. I still remember Satan, this powerful player.
We continued to compete on the field and played exciting games one after another.
The FIFA final, that should be the first turning point in my life.
I suffered a serious injury.
Maybe you all think that I would be lost or depraved when I was injured at that time.
But actually, let me tell you, when I learned that I would be taking a year off, I felt very relieved.
I'm so tired.
From my debut to now, I have been practicing and competing continuously, and my whole body is close to collapse.
I have to take some time to slow down the pace of my life.
Then I went to Phoenix and met a group of very talented young CSGO players.
When I saw them practicing hard, I actually understood that I would definitely win this CSGO world championship, even if everyone in the world didn't think highly of us.
Winning the world championship in my first Major was something I didn't expect at all.
To be honest, my thought at the time was that we still needed some time to adjust and improve, but in that game, we almost went crazy.
Several young people also gradually got into shape. After the battle with Liquid, I realized that we could win the championship!
The result was really as expected.
At this time, I suddenly felt a little lonely, maybe a little bit stinky, but it was the kind of loneliness that makes me feel cold at a high place.
I feel that e-sports is no longer interesting. Even if I win the championship again, I will not get a strong sense of pleasure.
At that time, I had the idea of playing League of Legends for a moment, but then I thought about it and it was not necessary.
Our level in League of Legends is already at the top of the world. Since I feel that I have no passion and the industry doesn’t need me, I simply started to play Glory slowly.
Before the news about the World Cup came out, I almost never thought that I would step into the glory field.
But after this news came out.
One sentence flashed in my mind.
I want to compete! I want to win the world championship on behalf of the Chinese team!
This will be the pinnacle moment of my life.
I want to reach the top here!
Not long ago, I did it.
I stand on top of the world, representing the Chinese team. This will be the proudest moment in my life.
I'm grateful to my fans all over the world, and I'm especially grateful to them over the years.
That young man who practiced day and night never thought, or even dreamed, that there would be so many people supporting me and shouting for me.
This gives me the motivation to keep going, thank you all.
As I was typing these words, Jianing also asked me a question.
she says:
"Gao Ran, will you return to the professional arena?"
I don’t know, maybe, maybe not. Don’t have too high expectations for this. Maybe when a game I like is released in the future, maybe Fire will appear in the professional arena?
The premise is that no one registers my ID...
At the end of the article, I actually want to say something to many young players.
I hope these words coming out of my mouth will make you take them seriously.
A player's career only lasts a few years, so don't waste your talent.
Practice basic skills steadily, stay motivated, and have a reverence for the competition.
If you don't take the game and your opponents seriously, you will never achieve anything.
Finally, thank you for your continued support, thank you to every teammate who has fought alongside me, and thank you @Dream Esports Club for your long-term support and understanding.
We are very lucky that the ID Dream.Fire can become a legend.
Although I have retired, I will always be a part of Dream and a part of Fire, and I will walk with you all in the days to come.
The first stage of my life has ended and I am now preparing to enter the second stage.
I am more confident now than when I was on the court.
It’s all over here, thank you for your seven years of companionship.
Dream.Fire is disconnected.
…
As soon as this Weibo post came out.
Countless enthusiastic fans are already in tears.
Gao Ran dedicated 7 years of his youth to the professional arena, and they accompanied Gao Ran through these seven years.
There used to be many fans, and there was even a chain of contempt. StarCraft players looked down on DOTA players, and DOTA players looked down on League of Legends players...
But as long as the fans who have accompanied Gao Ran through these seven years, they will no longer have such thoughts.
They feel the fun of every game and the passion of every game.
They still remember the touch that e-sports brought to them, and the passion and touch that Gao Ran brought to them.
Although some games are coming to an end and meeting their fate.
But everyone still remembers the invincible mid laner who was so popular in Dota 2.
A wonderful raid in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Dream.
The operational game between the two sides in the StarCraft arena.
The real charm of FIFA stadium football,
The miracle road.
And the winner of the World Cup glory will be crowned.
These games all have their own charm, and many of them are dying.
But when death really comes, everyone may have regrets, but as long as they think of the miracles and shouts in this game, they will at least sigh that this game is so beautiful.
The game will end, but the game will not.
…
Under this Weibo, players or friends who have a slight relationship with Gao Ran, or celebrities who are not familiar with Gao Ran, all forwarded messages under this Weibo.
In just five minutes, the retweets exceeded one million, the comments exceeded one million, and the likes exceeded one million.
The news of Gao Ran's retirement swept the entire Internet in an instant.
Gao Ran has created too many legends in these seven years.
The comments on the first floor are Ye Jianing’s comments.
"E-sports has been with you for 7 years, and I will be with you for the remaining 70 years. (Rose)"
There are countless blessings from fans below this comment.
In the past seven years, everyone has watched this golden couple come together.
There has been no gossip in 7 years, and Gao Ran has become the ideal type in the minds of countless girls.
Working together for 7 years, the relationship between these two people has already become a legend in the industry.
The following series of comments all come from familiar faces.
Lin Kai, Qing Feng, Wan Wenxi, Li Peinan...
"Happy wedding, I'll treat you to a drink some other time."
"The legend is over."
"I will carry your share with me!"
…
Some fans’ messages were also touching:
“E-sports is so wonderful!”
"Must be happy, happy wedding!"
"My youth is also over, wuwuwuwu..."
"It's a long way to go, see you again~"
"The God of Esports!"
"I really cried. I am about to enter the next stage of my life. Let's work hard together."
“FireGod——————”
"I will always remember Gao Ran's appearance on the court."
…
"it's over."
The moment Gao Ran clicked send, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Everything about him in the professional arena came to an end at this moment.
Gao Ran leaned back on his chair, sighing with emotion about everything that had happened in the past seven years.
It is indeed unreal and beautiful.
"I left you a message, remember to reply to me."
Ye Jianing was eating a lollipop while licking her beautiful feet.
Gao Ran slapped his snow-white feet away in disgust and replied:
"What's there to say?"
"Must go back."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Gao Ran replied with a smile.
"My parents are coming to our place for dinner tonight. I feel like we can prepare in advance."
"Not urgent."
Gao Ran picked up Ye Jianing's long legs and looked at Ye Jianing.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm telling you, Gao Ran, it's daytime."
"I'll call someone."
"You can scream, no one will pay attention to you even if your throat is broken."
Gao Ran put Ye Jianing on the bed and closed the door with a bang.
…
In the midst of murmuring.
Ye Jianing lay in Gao Ran's arms and asked Gao Ran:
"Gao Ran, if we have a child, do you want a boy or a girl?"
"One man and one woman."
Gao Ran replied seriously, and his chest was patted hard by Ye Jianing.
"You want to tire me out!"
"Didn't you ask me that? I'll answer it truthfully."
Gao Ran is also very innocent. He wants both a boy and a girl, so a boy and a girl shouldn't be too much.
"What do you expect from your child?"
"For example, inheriting your mantle?"
Ye Jianing also chuckled.
"What kind of mantle do I have? I'm not a martial arts master."
"I don't have any expectations. I just need to grow up healthy. As for e-sports..."
"Let it go."
"If he wants to engage in this industry, I will teach him. If he doesn't want to, just let him go."
"As long as he doesn't become an arrogant and domineering rich second generation, that's all. Don't let him spoil you."
"Cut~"
"Don't spoil him."
"So when are we going to have a baby?"
"Just now?"
"now?"
"Well, right now."
…
The high-burning legend ends here.
Many, many years from now, there will surely be countless games that are viable and worthy of shouting from countless fans. Unfortunately, in the long history of those games, there will never be a player named Dream.Fire who writes legends.
Thanks to eSports for two decades of great gaming.
