"I ......" Hearing Ye Qiu's question, Qiu Dongdong suddenly didn't know how to answer.

But he didn't stand out in the Internet café league and city competition he participated in, but he did play well among the people around him.

"Many people think that playing games is good, you can be a career, in fact, it is not like this, the focus of playing games is a play word, because it is playing, it is a pastime, so you have to play a handful when you are free, play a handful when you are free, the time is not fixed, you want to play if you want to play, you don't want to play. ”

"But it's not just about playing well as a professional player, when playing becomes a profession, then whether it's still what you like at that time, it's not certain. ”

"I know that there are many people who yearn for e-sports professionals who have high incomes, fans, and even become e-sports stars, but in fact? Three minutes on stage, ten years off the stage, not only those star artists, in fact, the same is true for e-sports players. ”

"Do you think that the usual job of an e-sports player is to play games?" Ye Qiu asked again.

"Isn't it?" Qiu Dongdong was a little puzzled. What else can an esports player do if they don't play games?

"Yes and no! Their job is to play games, but it's very different from what you think of as playing games. ”

"Why don't you like to study?" Ye Qiu asked suddenly.

"I ...... It's not that I don't like it, I just feel that I'm not that material. Qiu Dongdong's voice became lower and lower.

"Then why do you think you're the piece of material for a professional e-sports player?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"There is a saying that God rewards hard work, there are many reasons why a person does not study well, but the biggest possibility is that he is not diligent enough. Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"If you use all the time you used to study and study to play games, naturally your academic performance will not go up, do you agree with what I say?" Ye Qiu asked again.

"It's true that God rewards hard work, but I spend a lot of time playing games, can't it be regarded as my diligence in games?" Qiu Dongdong retorted.

"Studying is also about getting a good job in the future, but I work hard to play games and want to become a professional racer, isn't it also a good job? I don't think there's much difference between the two. Qiu Dongdong couldn't help but continue.

"Do you know what a real pro does? Do you really know the profession? I think you might need to hear about what the pros do. Ye Qiu did not refute Qiu Dongdong's words, but changed the topic and said.

At this time, the host of the "Looking for Relatives" column group, which had been arranged for a long time, said: "So let's take a look at the daily work of players in an e-sports club, as well as some interviews with professional players. ”

The location of a well-known domestic e-sports club appeared on the big screen.

Through the footage, you can see that the players in the esports club are sitting in front of the computer "playing" the game.

The location host in the camera commented: "The player we see is the star player of "League of Legends" Tiger, the game he is playing, I don't know if you have noticed it, it is a little different from the game we usually play." ”

"League of Legends" is a competitive game of battles, but the player Tiger at this moment does not have any teammates, nor any opponents, or no competitive opponents, he is boring at the moment practicing the operation of mending the knife.

The moderator began the interview with Tiger.

"Can you briefly describe your day-to-day work?"

"A lot of people think that our job as a professional esports player is to play games, which is not true, but in fact, most of the professional esports players did start out as a hobby, but there are often very few people who can stick to it," Tiger said. ”

"Why is that?"

"Like the days when we don't have games, from noon to lunch, it is training time, and this often doesn't end until two or three o'clock in the morning, the players have to train for more than ten hours a day, from the basic skills such as mending knives and aligning to the overall tactics and coordination of the team are all things that the players need to think about and train repeatedly, during which the coach and data analyst will also analyze and guide according to the characteristics of each person. ”

"With such a long period of repetitive training, the fun of playing the game will slowly fade after a while, and some harsh professional standards also make the game itself boring, so not all people can stick to it, which also leads to a large influx of people in this industry every year, and at the same time, just as many people come out. ”

"In fact, after becoming a professional esports player, I have long since moved away from the category of simply playing games. ”

"The repetitive training day after day is not like ordinary people playing games, pure pastime, but with a purpose, mending the knife, aligning the line, and other boring training is the theme, and there is real combat training, but it is based on the previous basic skills can pass the situation......"

"Does your club have a hard and fast criteria for recruiting players?"

"Of course, there are hard criteria, for example, the basic condition for League of Legends to be selected is that you need to be at or above the diamond level in Zone 1. Then we will conduct a trial for those who meet the basic requirements, and the data analyst will record the player's ability, mentality, cooperation and other indicators, and finally decide whether to keep the player, and the elimination rate of the whole process often reaches 99%. ”

......

Interviews with professional players, clubs, etc., can be said to surprise many people to find that the profession of e-sports players is not as good as they imagined to play games.

"Then classmate Qiu Dongdong, do you still think that you are really suitable for this profession?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Don't say anything that others can insist on, you can also insist, others can do it, you can do it, there is a threshold for entering any industry, you can't even reach the lowest threshold, why do you compare with others?"

"It's good to have dreams, it's not that I don't approve of pursuing dreams, I just hope that when pursuing dreams, I don't use my parents' hard-earned money to water the so-called dreams.

When we are all over the world clamoring to realize our dreams, who has ever asked their parents about their dreams.

Because their dream is so simple – to see us do well. Even if our choices are sometimes too capricious and outrageous, they are willing to do everything in their power to support them, not because of anything else but because of love. ”

"What are your dreams when your parents are struggling to sleep because of your dreams, and they are on their knees begging for your so-called dreams?"

"The reason why we must work hard is to be able to achieve both dreams and reality, even if we can't do it temporarily, we don't need to sacrifice our parents to fulfill our dreams.

After working hard, it may just be a little later to realize the dream, but at least it won't make parents worry and anxious late at night.

Work hard, not only to live a good life, but also to live a good life for your parents. ”
