Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 305 Dark Horse, King, Late Night
In late January, the third WCS came to an end.

The home of this year's WCS was set up in St. Linna, a city known as the European art capital. Such a result made players far away in Europe very excited. Perhaps in their view, this is not only a great victory for the art capital. Pilgrimage is also a sign of respect for Europe.

The reason why Saint-Lina is known as the capital of art is of course not only because of TBG. In addition to TBG, several other major art festivals in Europe are also held here every year, including music, movies, and paintings that attract high attention.

Not only that, Shenglina itself is a city full of art. Countless great works of art were born here and became famous all over the world. Countless people who pursue art come here to understand life and seek inspiration. Concerts and art exhibitions can be held here. Everyone is a world-renowned master.

Before this, I heard that other game companies had wanted to hold competitions here, but in the end, without exception, they were rejected by Shenglina. Shenglina has a very simple and clear definition of what good art is - moving. Open your heart and appreciate it with the world.

Heart-touching refers to the feeling of beauty, joy, resonance, admiration, and worship that can be brought to people at the spiritual level.

Being appreciated by the world means being recognized by the world.

Both are indispensable. Art is not elegance, nor is it the self-entertainment of a few people. Art should be appreciated by both refined and popular people, and it should be enjoyed by the people.

The expression of art itself is the transmission of emotions, the narration of emotions. Saying that only people who study art can understand it does not mean how elegant the art he talks about is, it only means that his level of expression is completely unqualified.

The reason why Sheng Linna rejected those game manufacturers was that some of them were because their games did not bring a particularly convincing positive impact to people, and some of them were because their games were not popular enough.

"StarCraft" is different. The game between the top players, the fingertips beating like afterimages show skills beyond the reach of ordinary people, the magnificent team battles with hundreds of people, the super micro-management as exquisite as a scalpel, Impressive multi-line conductors, they are not only pianists who play elegantly, but also conductors who control the whole performance, and they are also generals who take charge of the overall situation.

The battle in "StarCraft" includes both finger-to-finger confrontation and tactical and psychological games in the mind. The battle between top players is like the battle between two battlefield veterans. It is exciting and exciting, plus the interstellar itself. After learning about Chuxin's intention to host the third WCS in Europe, Shenglina took the initiative to express its good intentions to Chuxin. The two parties hit it off immediately, and the first gaming event in the history of Shenglina was established.

1月23日，16强赛中爆了一个大冷门，CX赤霄俱乐部的两大王牌之一的Sky被泡菜国SX俱乐部的16岁小将Lie3比2击败，此前无人关注的年轻小将瞬间成为媒体焦点。

Lie has not participated in any public events before, and this game before the top 16 is also recognized as the least suspenseful game.

The first time he participated in the competition was WCS. In his first competition, he defeated Sky, who is currently ranked second in the world and is known as the strongest Zerg in the world. Lie can be said to have truly become famous in one battle and became a blockbuster.

As for Sky, who was used as a stepping stone to rise to the top, it was miserable. He lost to a little-known pickle guy in a daze, and the Internet was directly scolded. Some scolded him for being careless and underestimating the enemy, and others scolded him wildly. Did he buy it? Someone scolded him for playing other games on weekends.

This is what e-sports is like. When you win, people praise you and want to praise you to the sky. When you lose, people scold you and want to change your nationality.

The average age of e-sports audiences is much younger than that of traditional sports audiences. Correspondingly, their tempers are much more violent. They are older, mature and calm. Even if they see Chinese people lose the game, most of them will be disappointed in their hearts. , it does not rise to the level of personal attack, but it is different for young people. If you lose, it is a mistake. If you make a mistake, you should be scolded. If you dare to talk back after scolding you, it is adding to the mistake.

In the next semi-finals, Lie brazenly defeated T1 from the same country, ranked fourth in the world, and the strongest human player in the world, with a score of 3-0.

After comparison, the reputation of criticizing Sky changed slightly. Lie defeated the old top players two times in a row, which naturally proved that he did have real power. Instead of continuing to criticize Sky, many people began to worry about VV.

Judging from Lie's absence from the previous game, this guy is probably their club's secret weapon deliberately hidden in order to make a splash in WCS.

Being able to defeat Sky at least shows that he has the strength to touch VV. Some people like to watch the plot of the dark horse and the dark to the end, but the Chinese audience can't like it.

When the passionate piano sound of "Breaking Dawn" resounded in the night sky of Saint Linna, this highly anticipated final battle finally began.

Facing the challenge from the kids from Kimchi Country, Han Xiaowei was under pressure, but not too much. After playing two consecutive games, she was beaten back by the opponent's aggressive rush tactics. Then she never gave the opponent a chance again, winning the next two games with 4 Bea 1 won the WCS championship for the third consecutive year.

That night, the young man cried miserably, and his left hand typing on the keyboard shook violently in front of the camera. Some people felt sorry for the loser, but more people shouted "V God is awesome". The scene was like a roaring tsunami. Screaming, everyone was shouting the name "VV" in unison. This moment was in sharp contrast to last year's Wide Area Library.

VV is a god!He is the interstellar god in everyone's heart. The dark horse is indeed powerful, but in front of the god, his power still seems powerless. Even the onlookers can clearly feel the suffocating and desperate pressure in the game. He is impeccable. With their impeccable operation and those who don't have strong psychological quality, their confidence may be shattered after playing so many games with VV. Just like the arrogant SKT back then, it was so strong that it was almost impossible to see how it could be defeated. hope.

At the end of the night of the Saint Linna finals, Kimchi Country player T1 announced his retirement. This news immediately caused an uproar.

The No. 1 player in the world retired. Many people subconsciously thought that he was swept out by Lie, and his confidence was shattered.

Soon a reporter found T1 for an interview. From the interview, people learned the real reason for his retirement.

"First of all, I would like to apologize to my friends who like me and support me. I really tried my best, but I am also tired. In the past two years, I have trained 16 hours a day, day and night. I have defeated Zking and defeated Zking. Sky, I most want to win against VV, but every time I face her, her power scares me. I feel that my upper limit has come to an end, but I still can’t see any hope of defeating her. Now I choose to retire. It has something to do with the loss to Lie, I'm tired, I can't move, I'm sorry..."

There is no high-sounding reason. I have worked hard and tried my best. T1’s words are a bit sad and even heartbreaking. Yes, sometimes the gap between people cannot be filled by hard work alone. T1 trains 16 times a day. Hours later, who knew that VV was not like this?
Having been overwhelmed by VV for two consecutive years, and now losing to a fledgling newcomer, T1's last breath was taken away from him. Although it is regrettable that there will be less of a strong player on the future stage, people still admire him. The decision was respected.

Affected by this incident, netizens stopped criticizing Sky. Many people were worried that like T1, he would be directly punched by Lie and retired. The people who scolded him before now comforted him and made him It makes people laugh and cry.

Fortunately, the worrying thing did not happen, and Nie Tian did not choose to retire after this defeat.
