Chapter 860: Typing Competition
It's an epic transformation.
Before that, although people knew that there was a League of Legends Global College Competition, they also knew that there were many colleges and universities participating.
However, there were many people who were not particularly interested in such a game before.
While there are quite a few people who say they are watching, many more people think it's all child's play.
There are also some more traditional people who believe that college students do not study and play games, which is a complete miscareer.
However, when more than 100 countries around the world entered the finals, when all the contestants walked out of the venue in unison, when these players wore the national flags printed on their uniforms, and when the national anthems of each country were sung on the spot, even the people who ignored the game seemed to feel different at this time.
It really seems like a world-class tournament.
Even if it is a game, the shock given by the scene is lower than which sport in reality.
Especially, the countless crazy crowds on the live giant stage.
According to reports, the finals were held in a football stadium with 50,000 seats fully filled.
You know, this kind of competition is not free, and you must buy a ticket to enter the game.
Moreover, the price of tickets is not low.
Where is this game competition.
Look at the scene, people who don't know will definitely think that it is a football game.
They really couldn't imagine that there was a kind of competition that could attract such a large audience.
It's definitely not an easy game game.
Those spectators, those viewers who don't know the truth, finally woke up.
This kind of competition, he has gone beyond the game itself.
Take a look at the scene, countless spectators just feel that this has a bit of a World Cup feeling.
Or rather, this is the World Cup of esports.
Come on, Chinese team.
I don't know where they said it in their hearts.
Although, when they shouted this sentence, they didn't necessarily know what this game was about. Or just know, but also know a little about League of Legends. However, when they saw the national flags on these players, they still couldn't stop choosing to support them in their hearts.
It's an honor.
Every Chinese is born with this honor.
Of course, some smart businesses, they have already set their sights on e-sports.
For example, those video sites.
After the League of Legends commentary video appeared, they have already tasted the benefits brought by the League of Legends commentary video.
This time, the global college competition has attracted their attention.
Not only did they spend a lot of money to sponsor the game, but they also broadcast each game live.
A qiē is carried out in an orderly manner.
A month later, the Global College League of Legends tournament officially ended with the Chinese team winning the championship.
But this qiē has only just begun.
After the end of this competition, many media gave their own different evaluations.
According to the summary from N media, it can now be truly said that League of Legends has surpassed Warcraft, and Penguin Games has truly become a world-class game company.
However, this is clearly not the focus of this competition.
ABC TV, one of the world's three major TV stations, said that the League of Legends Global Championship is rare in the world because of its high scale. Even some world-class sports competitions can't compare to it.
Yahoo Technology from the Internet media added that perhaps the League of Legends Global College Competition is not the most perfect, or rather, it has not been recognized globally or even officially. However, the Global College League of Legends Championship has relied on its influence to attract sponsorship and make a profit, which is enough to be proud of. You know, there are many traditional sports in the world that have always relied on state subsidies to survive.
In addition, there is not much to say about the Harvard intranet, he only quoted a sentence from Zhang Ning's speech at Harvard at that time, we are creating an unprecedented road. Perhaps, this path has been successful.
The allure of League of Legends continues.
After the Global Collegiate League Championship, the follow-up competitions did not stop.
Internet Café League Tournament.
City Hero Contest.
There are also leagues in various countries and even in the world.
They took over the pace of the National College Competition, and let the popularity continue.
Step by step, League of Legends has broken the eyeballs of countless people, and every step he takes has created the future.
……
Operating system, search engine, instant messaging, antivirus, computer, mobile phone......
This is a table diagram of what Zhang Ning will enter in the future.
In the table diagram, if it is completed, Zhang Ning will put a circle, and if it is not completed, it will continue to be placed on it.
Zhang Ning took out a pen and circled the e-sports.
The development of League of Legends during this period of time is obvious to all, and Zhang Ning does not need to worry about anything.
E-sports, so to speak, is a complete layout.
video website, Zhang Ning also circled it.
Penguin Video has already achieved the world's first, and Chen Shijun has been dug up, what else is there to say?
Coupled with the in-depth cooperation between the League of Legends commentary video and the penguin video, it is not a problem to stand firmly in the first place.
There is another, social platform, Zhang Ning is also in the circle.
E-sports, video network, social platform...... What else?
Just when Zhang Ning was about to circle the next project, Zhang Ning suddenly stopped.
Because he found that his projects to enter the global market seemed to be very few.
Even the instant messaging that I am most familiar with is unique in China, and it has no place in the global market.
Similarly, there are search engines, browsers, antivirus, e-commerce, ...... Not to mention the operating system.
It seems that there is still a long way to go.
Zhang Ning sighed.
He would love to get into the global instant messaging segment.
I would also like to enter the search engine section.
It's just that Zhang Ning has been laying out China in the past few years, and the world market has to be handed over.
Now that Zhang Ning wants to enter, with the current market position of MSN, ICQ, as well as Google search, Amazon, etc., I am afraid that there is no chance at all. Moreover, the current instant messaging, search engines, and e-commerce are also innovative, and Zhang Ning will not be able to bring back these businesses through guò's super innovation.
Thinking about it, Zhang Ning couldn't do anything.
This made Zhang Ning a little depressed.
He also said that he wanted to build a global Internet empire, let alone an empire, and now he has not even laid a city.
If Facebook didn't support him there, Zhang Ning would be embarrassed to say that he was an Internet giant.
Somewhat bored, Zhang Ning took a pair of sunglasses and went to New York University, not far from the Penguin headquarters in North America.
The campus has always been a favorite place for Zhang Ning.
This is not to say that Zhang Ning likes to go to school, nor that Zhang Ning likes those students.
Rather, sometimes Zhang Ning believes that many innovative ideas and innovative products come from universities.
Bill Gaeci also had an idea when he was in college, so he dropped out of school and founded Harvard.
Similarly, there is also the founder of Facebook in later generations, which is now Mark, who is now under Zhang Ning, who also founded Facebook after Harvard had the idea of networking.
And, of course, Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple.
Although they all dropped out of school, it was because they felt that if they did not put into practice the ideas they had generated in college, they would probably not have a chance in the future.
Zhang Ning wandered around New York University without a purpose.
Compared with domestic universities, North American universities are much more important than domestic universities in terms of academic smell.
From time to time, Zhang Ning can be heard on campus, and many students are discussing some academic issues.
This also made Zhang Ning sigh that China is far from being able to compare in this area.
However, there is still time in China, and as long as you work hard, you may not be able to catch up with them.
At this point, Zhang Ning is full of confidence.
"Hey, interested in participating in NYU's Campus Writing Contest?"
Suddenly, a white guy stopped Zhang Ning.
"Campus Writing Contest?"
"Yes, this friend, to put it simply, is a losing word contest. By the way, ask me how many English letters you can type into a computer in a minute. ”
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm not interested."
Zhang Ning shook his head.
He hadn't been interested in typing contests or anything like that.
He has always thought that what is the use of typing words no matter how fast they are typed?
Could it be that the genius of a hacker or programmer lies in the fact that he can type or write letters faster than a human?
Obviously, it doesn't matter at all.
Also, fast typing doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Unless in the future you want to become a professional typist, or that kind of stenographer.
However, this kind of profession is very rare, and no one specializes in practicing it.
In short, Zhang Ning believes that there is no point in holding such a typing contest.
"No, no, man, it's not an interest, maybe you think there's no point in entering a game like that. In fact, it is. However, humans are creatures that love to break records, and we have always wanted to see humans break records constantly. Maybe this year's human record is 90 words and 360 letters per minute, then tomorrow, as long as it can break through to 91 words, this will be a great progress for mankind. And human beings, with such progress, are becoming the masters of this earth, don't you think? ”
"Well, you have a point."
Zhang Ning was persuaded by this guy, anyway, there was nothing to do, so he went to take a look.
"I'm willing to participate."
"Haha, great, let's go, my name is Eisen, what about you."
"My name is Nick."
"Haha, Nick, our hacker godfather is also named Nick."
"Are you talking about Kevin Nick?"
"Yes, that's him."
……
Following Eisen, Zhang Ning came to a computer room at New York University.
"Nick, you wait here for a while, we still have to organize all the contestants. In about half an hour, we'll have a game. ”
"Okay."
Zhang Ning nodded and asked Aisen to be busy first.
About half an hour later, Eisen and the rest of the group began to formally call for the competition.
"Everyone, now you can pick a random computer, open a software called Genie on the desktop, and select the fifth article from it to start the test, and the test time is 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the wizard software will automatically calculate everyone's scores, and we hope that everyone can work hard, and last year our NYU record was 80 words a minute, and I hope someone here can break that record. ”
Zhang Ning casually picked a table and opened the elf software.
The 5th chapter of the elf software is a short article that I don't know where to get it.,Zhang Ning's typing speed in his previous life was not bad.,But this is only limited to typing Chinese characters.,Although it's not slow to input English.,But compared to his own five-stroke speed,It's still a little slower.。 Of course, compared to the other people in the seat, it seems that Zhang Ning's speed is slower.
At the very least, Zhang Ning only heard the sound of other people constantly tapping on the keyboard, and Zhang Ning's speed seemed to be obviously unable to keep up with them.
At this point, Zhang Ning didn't feel anything.
If you can't keep up, you can't keep up, or as I said before, what's the use of typing fast?
Don't say that Zhang Ning's typing speed is not slow, even if it is slow, he is not fast in typing.
Anyway, he didn't come to participate in the competition, he just came to take a casual look, unhurried, Zhang Ning began to write words.
After 10 minutes, the game officially ended.
Zhang Ning looked at his results, and typed a total of 410 words in 10 minutes, 41 letters per minute.
Not fast, certainly not slow.
However, with the competitors here, Zhang Ning's record is much slower.
If you look at it casually, most of the people around you are more than 60 words per minute.
English typing is not the same as Chinese typing.
A powerful five-stroke master in Chinese can type 200 words a minute, but English is made up of letters. Each word is usually composed of 4 letters, and many long words even have 6, 7, and 8 letters. So, a record of 60 words per minute is pretty good.
Obviously, though, the record of 60 words per minute was not the highest in the audience.
Under the auspices of Eisen, the results of the respective competitions were also announced.
Mary is 66 words per minute, which is fantastic, you have 6 more than last year.
David broke through 70 per minute, David, you are amazing, why are you typing so fast.
Michael is breaking 78 per minute, and oh my God, you're almost going to break our NYU record.
What, what, Robert, your grade is 81, God, is that true?
At this moment, everyone was extremely excited.
81 words, that's the highest record at NYU.
It's just that without waiting for this side to scream, on the other side, another sensation came.
91 words.
Oh my God.
Kakashi, you actually broke the record of 91 words.
The friend who reported Kakashi's results was a little speechless with excitement.
The highest record in the United States, if I remember correctly, was 90 words.
This means that Kakashi not only broke the NYU record, he also broke the North American record.
How can such a record not be crazy.
Oh my God, Kakashi.
Everyone gathered around Kakashi, including the members who organized the game.
They looked at the records excitedly, and at the same time, they were constantly checking whether Kakashi was cheating.
The end result was that there was no cheating, Kakashi didn't cheat, he typed 90 words with his true strength.
Kakashi, you're amazing.
Kakashi, you're my idol.
Kakashi, about not about.
Kakashi ......
"Strange,This guy's input method ......"
When everyone surrounded Kakashi, Zhang Ning also came to Kakashi's computer.
However, when everyone was boiling to applaud Kakashi, Zhang Ning saw the input method icon in the lower right corner of Kakashi's computer, which seemed to be a little wrong.
