Kate is the nickname that Neller got because he played interstellar, and the reason why he got this nickname is because he plays the game unusually smartly, like a cat. Not only that, but when he has an advantage, he tends to be like a cat playing with a mouse. So, although he himself is not very fond of cats, he still accepts the nickname Carter.

His talent for StarCraft was extraordinary, and it didn't take long for him to go from being able to work with people at the beginning, and a coolie who could only be responsible for producing farmers became a well-known macho man.

Children who like computer games are more introverted, or a little smarter, than children who like red and white machine games. Therefore, "StarCraft" is a niche type of game, because he competes with the naked eye to see the hard power, so it quickly spread among young lads in the United States.

And Kate, whose real name is Nayler, can be regarded as a Vancouver tyrant. Because Chiba Games is going to hold an official competition, Kate has worked harder to practice the game.

You know, a good personal computer today only costs about $2,000, and the prize for the first place is $10,000.

Kate, who is already alone in Vancouver, already knows her strength, at least in the top 50 in the United States. For him, winning this prize is not an unattainable dream, but a possibility that is full of possibilities after some hard work.

Of course, his family was not very supportive, and when he said that he could make money playing games at breakfast, his father almost laughed out loud.

"How can you make money playing games. Those game makers are vampires, and they are all yellow-skinned vampires now. Can you make money playing a game? No kidding. ”

Nayler's father was originally from Texan. It's a red neck. Like most rednecks, he is blind to many things, and his angry words seem a bit blunt and unscrupulous.

When Neller heard his dad denigrating the game he loved now, he didn't refute it, but silently endured it with his head down. He understood a truth from the age of three. Don't reason with your father, even if he did something wrong and said something wrong. However, for the sake of your own health, you still don't have to talk to him. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble.

This is also the reason why he is so obsessed with StarCraft now, this game, let him finally realize that he is a person. It is a person who has an independent personality and can be looked up to with adoring eyes.

Neller hastily ate, took advantage of the morning sun on the weekend and holiday, clothed in glow, and went to the computer room.

Maybe it's because more people know about StarCraft, play other games, or are teenagers who are concentrating on learning programming. It has dropped to freezing, and the mainstream crowd in the computer room has become a rare animal.

When Kate came to the door of the computer room, she changed her unlucky expression at home. And he became red-faced, and he walked with his head held high, looking like a high-spirited warrior.

There aren't many people in the computer room. After all, it's still early, when it's time to go to school. At this time, it is still a long time before the first class.

It's the weekend, and the most different thing is that it's all about other times. Most students want to sleep in, so they wake up late. The few young people who can rise up are definitely in the minority.

Neller happily greeted the teenagers in front of him who came earlier than him, and the reason why everyone came so early was because everyone was preparing for the StarCraft competition.

The reason why everyone came to the computer room to prepare for the competition was because some students did not have computers at home, and second, some had computers and bought StarCraft game disks, so they could only play with computers.

After all, computers are dead, not alive. Even if a person is a dish, after trying again and again, he will always be able to defeat the computer.

But people are different, every thing the computer does is programmed, as long as the rhythm of the computer is disrupted, it is still relatively easy to play.

However, there is a problem with playing with people. After the early harassment, the situation on the battlefield was changed, but then the other party may use a little tactic to turn it back. Moreover, the feeling of playing with people is completely different from playing with a computer.

Take Neller as an example, let him play the most powerful cruel difficulty computer, he can beat it with one hand, like a chicken, these are the god-like computer difficulty for novices.

However, if you are playing against people at a low level for a certain period of time, then it is likely that there will be such a problem, that is, the level will drop significantly.

This is also the reason why Naylor's strength has not increased significantly in the past week. Because, the strongest person in the computer room is just like that. He can now do it with the strongest player except himself. Then, there is no other promotion.

Because, the opponent's level is so high, he can't improve if he wants to. This is also why in the world that Lin Yan has experienced, South Korea's "StarCraft" is so powerful, and South Korea's Star League is like a monster cage, and any player in it is released, so don't want it.

This is because they train intensively, the tournament system is mature, and everyone works hard enough to get the prize money. Often they will become very powerful in such a high-intensity environment.

However, once they got out of this system, came to Europe to participate in the competition, after earning a few years of prize money. They'll find themselves unable to fight.

Because, their level has dropped sharply, and it has turned from a crushing of the first to a five-five situation.

It's not that the strength of European and American players has become stronger, but that Korean players have become weaker when they leave the monster cage. To use a joke in the Internet age, it is to forcibly pull your IQ to a horizontal line, and then beat you with rich experience.

Neller didn't know that, he didn't have that experience. Therefore, I am also a little depressed about the stagnation of my current strength improvement.

His method of appearance is also relatively simple and crude. The improvement is minimal, that is, less practice. Practice less, practice fiercely.

So, think about it. Nevertheless, Naylor decided to intensify his game.

It was a difficult decision for him. Because the Internet access in the school's computer room is not free. In addition to the fact that each student will receive a one-hour boarding ticket per week. You have to pay for the rest yourself.

An onboard ticket is fifty cents, and $0.5 an hour. It may not seem that expensive, but for a student, wanting to contact for a long time is also a financially constrained option.

What's more, in order to be in good condition for the game, concentrate on preparing for the game. Neller has stopped his part-time job of delivering milk and weeding.

And he has to get on the plane for about ten hours a day, which is five dollars a day. That's a big deal. Fortunately. It's only weekends when you can play for an hour a day, so even Naylor can barely cope with it. With the little money I saved before, as well as selling some of my old gadgets, and playing StarCraft to win the money others get, it can be regarded as barely playing.

However, ten hours a day of gaming down, except for an empty stomach. Aside from being hungry and a little dizzy, he didn't feel like he had improved much.

The most important thing is that he still doesn't understand what his problems are. Due to the problem of experience, he had no idea that he was not improving now. It's not that he doesn't practice much, it's because his opponents are too weak.

Rather, because of his fierce practice. and his strength is too outstanding. There is no equal opponent. Therefore, everyone doesn't like to play with him very much. After all. Everyone is here to have fun playing games, and no one is here to play.

At last. Someone suggested an idea to Naylor. Since you are running out of money for a computer now, why don't you go to the computer room of another school to challenge. Not to mention how much trophy you can get, even in the process of the challenge, you don't have to pay for the computer.

As soon as Neller heard that the idea was quite sound, he started in high school, which was not far away. The entire interstellar circle of Vancouver, because of such a sentence, set off a bloody storm.

And Naylor's cat-like style has also set up many opponents for him. After all, not everyone has a good mentality and can be toyed with by others without being angry at all.

Sure enough, because of his style, he was beaten by a group of people one day after winning the game and taking the "bonus".

For this reason, he recuperated at home for half a month. However, fortunately, it was all flesh wounds, and they didn't step on Neler's fingers in a frenzy, so after he recovered, he still had the opportunity to participate in the StarCraft America's Cup held by the North American branch of Chiba Games.

It is said that it is the America's Cup, but in fact, the main battlefield is still the United States. Because, in other countries in the Americas, the economy is not very developed, there are not many families with computers, and there are very few people who have access to computers, and they have access to StarCraft.

Therefore, the America's Cup is more of a good name. Even if the organizing committee of the tournament announced that it would provide accommodation for the players from each country.

However, there are very few players who can make a difference in South America.

This brings us to the question of South American football. Why South American football players are somewhat fierce as tigers. This is because, for them, playing football and becoming a player in the team is almost the only way to change their fate.

The cost is low, a football, a field, not even a football and a field. Follow the rest of the people and just kick football in the streets.

In order to change their fate, they naturally worked very hard, and the stars who came out of the slums were not one or two. After all, hard work doesn't necessarily lead to hope. It's better to gamble, fight a shot, and try to see if you are a piece of football material.

If you can enter the youth team and become a regular player of a team, you are already considered a success. And if you are in a local team and are selected by a European team and sign a contract, you are a super success.

If, in the end, because they play football well, or are handsome, they can receive a large number of commercial contracts, and this money cannot be spent after retirement, then this life is worth it for them.

However, StarCraft is unlikely to be like football, a fateful avenue that made it popular in Latin America.

After all, personal computers are still considered a luxury, and children in the slums may not have seen such a modern thing as a computer.

Another thing is that StarCraft is not stable and does not have a good reputation. In other words, there is no record of events that can be trusted.

If, a person has spent a lot of effort to become a StarCraft pro, and as a result, just as he enters his playing year, the game dies and there is no competition, what should he do?

Let him die, or let him die.

In this era, in many countries in Latin America, those who can have computers are considered to be the wealthy class in their own countries, and their children often have a better way out of the normal way and do not need to take this risk.

On the whole, "StarCraft" does not have the basis for popularity in Latin America.

And this foundation is available in the United States. Canada, the maple leaf country next to the United States, is also partial. Therefore, the final result of the America's Cup was that there were 26 players from the United States.

The rest of the Americas don't have one player per country, with a total of six non-US players. The schedule is not too long, and the round of 32 will start soon.

It is broadcast exclusively by one U.S. television station, while no television station is broadcast in other countries.

Naylor, the coquettish cat, was among the thirty-two. Although after that beating, he never went anywhere else to challenge privately.

However, the main game of Chiba games has begun. He also has plenty of games to play that don't cost money. And, in the process, as he continued to rise in the rankings, his level also began to rise again.

also made him understand that to improve his strength, he must fight with masters. Fighting against those who are not playing well all the time is not good for the improvement of their own strength, but there are some disadvantages.

Nayler still had some bruises on his face, and he used the in-game chat module to send a "Have fun" to start his first match of the round of thirty-two.

The welcome to the game still made him a little nervous, and he was used to the crowds. However, being surrounded by so many cameras was also the first time he had experienced it.

Call......

Calm down.

Naylor told himself that if he didn't fit in, no one else would fit in. So, everyone is still on the same starting line.

Don't think too much, just win. (To be continued.) )
