Chapter 21 Talent and Effort
Although the name of the Korean League is very loud from top to bottom, the competition venue is far from being big.
Including the audience, it looks like only six or seven hundred square meters in total.
The first two rows were seated by coaches, staff and contestants from each team, and the remaining rows were bought for the audience to watch.
The reason why it seems to be thunderous and rainy is because of the problem of league positioning.
Since 1997, financial and economic crises have occurred in Asian countries one after another, and ordinary people are very short of money, so there are not many people coming to watch the game on site.
Therefore, Kespa's competition focuses on live TV, covering a nationwide live TV. Since you can watch it at home without spending a penny, there is no need to rush to the competition venue to spend money to watch the game.
Only those loyal fans will come to watch the game on site.
Therefore, the small venue for the competition is not because it is not important to ignore it, but because it is unnecessary.
Kespa's competition is mainly based on team competitions, that is, fighting battles, team competitions, and ring competitions.
At the beginning, each team played a contestant. Whoever wins will continue to stay on the stage and wait for the opponent's team to select the next challenge player. Knowing which player is used up first, the victory belongs to the unused party.
Because Merlin was a guest, she sat in the third row and in his position, and could easily see the pictures on the display.
At the beginning of the game, Merlin was shocked by the level of both sides.
Whether it is discipline, operation accuracy, hand speed, or ability to guess the opponent's strategic intentions, they are far superior to American players.
Even though he has been the champion of StarCraft for two times in the United States, he feels that compared with the two people on the stage, victory and failure are just like 55.
Although I have always heard that South Korea's professional league level is very high, because kespa strictly prohibits videos from leaking, and video data is difficult to spread until it has not passed in this era when the Internet speed is still not fast enough.
Therefore, Merlin's high level imagined is not as high as the two players in front of him.
The shock lasted for a while, and Merlin thought of the waiter he met in the Internet cafe a few days ago. The waiter was so strong that he had the chance to beat him. It was also worth it that professional players in the professional league were stronger.
"What is their strength in the team? Are they the most powerful players?" Merlin asked his escorts in English.
The accompanying staff is one of the person in charge of Kespa, and he naturally has a very good understanding of the project "StarCraft".
He explained to Merlin, "None of them are the strongest players in their respective teams. You also know that our league adopts the ring battle mode. If we use the most powerful players at the beginning, if we lose too much concentration, we will probably lose when fighting against players who are comparable to him.
Therefore, the first players to play in the game are usually the ones with relatively low strength in the team.”
This level is still low?!!
Merlin was almost crazy.
The level of these two players in front of you is very likely to win the top three players in the National League in the United States.
Most American players have far less clear ideas than the two players in front of them.
And the operation is even worse.
However, although he was shocked by the accompanying staff, he still agreed in his heart.
Why did you agree?
It's because "StarCraft" is indeed a very energy-consuming game.
Don’t watch a game for only about half an hour at most.
However, from the first second of the game, players in the battle will not feel relaxed.
This is more obvious in the higher the level of confrontation.
Even Meilin has given up the way of training on the ten thousand-hu battle platform every day.
Because often after playing ten games, I don’t know what Merlin is doing.
The whole head was almost a piece of mud, and the movements and various reactions on the hands were completely subconscious behaviors.
If it was a pastime to play "Starcraft" at the beginning, but when he is now at a high level and relies on making money, it is just a very repetitive job.
By the way, isn’t it said that when people fight against each other, players often change a lot of games against players. There will never be two identical games?
That being said, the higher the level, you will know that the game that seems to have infinite possibilities has only a few winning routes.
In other words, the changes in the entire game are constantly closing.
And after winning is the game goal, any player will choose a way to play in a more easy way.
Therefore, since "StarCraft" has developed to the present, it is more about combating processes and responses.
Just like when playing Go, there are also several fixed moves, so is "StarCraft".
If two opponents meet for the first time, they don’t know each other’s background. Generally, as long as they follow the standard process, they will know whether the opponent’s level is weaker than you, much weaker than you, or equal to you, or stronger than you, or even invincible.
Just like when the reconnaissance troops of both sides encounter, if the opponent's level is really weak, Merlin can use a small wave of reconnaissance to investigate the whole family who is not fighting against the opponent's family.
The difference is actually the understanding and proficiency of the game.
Everyone is practicing the same martial arts secrets. Some people are good at being strong, while others are weaker.
In fact, e-sports is as cruel as any sports. Although you want to be a professional player, you also value hard work, but you also value talent or talent.
Some people have talent and don’t work hard, so they will never be able to join the professional team.
Some people don’t work hard and have no talent, they are just ordinary players.
Some people work hard and have talent, so they are the strongest king in the game.
The most tragic people are not those who don’t work hard at all, but those who are willing to work hard but have no talent.
I can only watch others surpass me little by little, but I can do nothing.
Of course, the admiration for sports competition also comes from this.
If anyone can achieve something, even if he has it, he will not be respected.
Those respected strong people are people who can do what others cannot.
