Create a great era of e-sports.

Chapter 368 The game is like chess
"sharp."

Shang Cunyuan clicked his tongue and praised.

"I didn't expect that everyone would watch e-sports matches online. I thought they all went directly to the venue."

Shang Xingyue said with a smile: "There is a certain difference between the audiences of e-sports and traditional sports. People who like e-sports must first like the game as the project, and playing games cannot be separated from computer equipment, so compared to Watch the game offline, most viewers prefer to watch the game online."

"What you experience offline is the live atmosphere, while online you can see a clearer picture of the game. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it's hard to tell who is better and who is worse."

Shang Cunyuan said: "Having said that, the number of people watching the scene is quite large, thousands of people. I'm afraid many games don't have such a large audience."

"After all, there must be more people who like games than people who like sports." Shang Xingyue said with a smile: "Online games have been developed for so many years. Which young person doesn't like to play now? As long as they are done well, these people can be converted For the audience of e-sports competitions, this is the inherent advantage of e-sports.”

"Makes sense."

Shang Cunyuan agreed.

The two chatted and continued to watch the game.

Although Shang Cunyuan didn't understand much, with the help of the explanation and Shang Xingyue's explanation, he at least understood who was who and how to win, instead of being confused, like reading a book from heaven.

However, he has never been exposed to online games, and he is also old. Although he is open-minded, he still does not fully understand why some people like to watch games.

"It looks like it's just a fight, Xingyue, is this really so fun? Why is it called a competition?"

Shang Cunyuan was very confused.

On the screen, the battle between Emperor Star and WE is naturally exciting in the eyes of those who know it. The various tactics, psychology, and operations are simply amazing.

But for people who have never played games or even have little exposure to games, they can't see any mystery at all, and they can't appreciate the fun of that kind of game.

Unlike traditional sports such as track and field, chess and card games, racing, and football, there are real physical collisions and real mental exercises. Everything is right in front of you. You can understand it even if you have heard about it, and you can easily understand the mystery of it.

Esports is different.

People who don't understand think it's not doing their job properly, just playing games, but they can't feel the danger of the battle between professional players, nor can they appreciate the power of professional players.

This is what Shang Cun Yuan is like.

In his opinion, there seems to be nothing special about the game in front of him. The commentary and analysis cannot be understood or understood. In addition to knowing that taking down the defense tower can win the game, how can other players kill alone? The wave positioning is very good, which wave group pull is very beautiful, and deeper things such as the transformation of resources are not understood at all.

This is a generation gap.

It's not that he doesn't want to understand, it's just that he can't understand it at all.

Shang Xingyue understood his father's incomprehension very well at this moment. After thinking for a while, he quickly organized his words.

"How should I put it? It's normal for you not to understand if you don't play games. It's like a person who has no contact with, has never heard of, or experienced something. It is naturally extremely difficult for him to understand it. .”

"But as long as you change your thinking, you can actually quickly understand the secrets of e-sports competitions." "I remember you can play Go, right?"

"I understand a little bit." Shang Cunyuan nodded.

"The game is like chess." Shang Xingyue said: "You can think of e-sports as Go. The competition for resources between the two sides is to compete for points on the chess board. A certain wonderful operation of the players is a small area between Go players. In regional battles, the victory of a wave of team battles is the battle around the dragon in Go. To win the game, players must not only focus on the overall situation, but also focus on the details of the battle."

"The same is true for e-sports. Every change in the situation is actually based on the overall pros and cons of the battle. The dangers contained in it are not only the details of the players' brainpower, intelligence and reaction ability, but also the overall strategic battle situation. Trend."

"A professional player or a professional team is not just about fighting in a game, but there are many things that need to be considered and made choices. It contains a lot of complicated things, so many details, and wonderful changes. , all kinds of trade-offs and games cannot be described as simply fighting."

"It can be said that e-sports not only tests the players' personal abilities, but also tests the team's tactical execution and teamwork capabilities. It is very exciting!"

"This is exactly the difference between e-sports and games, and this is also its greatest charm!"

After hearing these words, Shang Cunyuan fell into deep thought.

At this time, he watched the game between God Star and WE on the screen. Although he still couldn't understand it, he could feel the excitement under the water. Every change in the battle situation affected the outcome of the entire game.

He seemed to see a chessboard, with ten of the world's top chess players controlling the chess pieces on the chessboard, displaying their wisdom, going back and forth, interweaving and intersecting, it was extremely exciting!
"Looking at it now, I seem to be able to vaguely understand some of the mysteries inside." Shang Cunyuan couldn't help but said: "This thing can be called a competition. It's really not that simple!"

"Actually, you haven't had any experience with it yet. If you can try it yourself, you will have a deeper understanding of its beauty." Shang Xingyue smiled and said, "How about I teach you how to play?"

"Forget it, forget it." Shang Cunyuan suddenly had a headache after hearing this: "I am already in my decades and I am so busy at work every day. How can I have time to play games? Besides, let others know that I am a leading cadre at that age. Playing video games will bring shame on your face if you tell anyone about it, so let’s forget it.”

"What's the matter? What's so shameful about playing games?" Shang Xingyue didn't care.

"No, no!" Shang Cunyuan shook his head repeatedly: "Besides, this thing is suitable for you young people. I can't play it even if I come here. However, I have learned some knowledge about e-sports now, and I have gained a little more understanding. It is a rare thing. It is loved by so many people. It is indeed extraordinary and can be called a competitive sport."

When Shang Xingyue heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "In that case, Dad, do you know if there is a chance of being selected for e-sports?"

"It's hard to say." Shang Cunyuan waved his hand and said: "From a competitive perspective, e-sports as a sport is definitely qualified. If you ask me my opinion, it is yes. But things are not that simple. In addition to the sport itself, there are many things to consider. Social impact, economic benefits, and public opinion impact must all be taken into consideration. Moreover, the Sports Bureau is not my sole authority. Everything must be discussed and other people's opinions must be considered. idea."

"However, I have already sent your more detailed investigation report. I will find an opportunity to hold a meeting to discuss it. However, this matter cannot be rushed. It is a big matter and we will definitely not be able to reach an agreement in a while. At least this year Definitely not."

It's now January, less than a month before the Spring Festival, and a major event like this will definitely go through many rounds of discussions before the final result can be decided.

Hearing this, Shang Xingyue had no choice but to say regretfully: "Okay, then let's wait for another chance. Unfortunately, Mo Yu keeps urging, but it seems that there will be no results in a short time."

When Shang Cunyuan saw his daughter's look, he couldn't help but said bitterly: "What? Are you still thinking about him, afraid that he won't be able to wait? This boy seems to be quite capable, and he can actually make you so interested."

"dad!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Watch the game!"

Shang Xingyue rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention.
