Chapter 1220: Counter-Strike (Plus 8/66)
So Boss Jia, who didn't know much about it, directly got Counter-Strike out, as if Warcraft had not yet been born, but Dota was born one step ahead.
Without the popularity of Warcraft, it's really hard to say if Dota still has a chance to grow.
Of course, Dota can succeed because of the quality and gameplay of Dota itself, even if Dota does not succeed, sooner or later there will be effective success of similar gameplay in the future, but it will not be Dota .
Counter-Strike is in the same situation, without the blessing of the Half-Life player base.
On top of that, Counter-Strike was released in 1999, and by this time, the world's online layout was already quite large, with enough netizens to support an online battle game.
But in 1997, this number was not enough.
To sum up, the defeat of Counter-Strike is almost inevitable under the influence of two unfavorable factors.
On the other hand, it is also shown that time travel and prophets may not be a good thing.
Boss Jia later figured this out, but Counter-Strike had already been released in advance, and it was unrealistic to want to get another half-life out, so Boss Jia decided to use WCG to pull "Counter-Strike", whether it will be achieved depends on God's will, it's a big deal to wait until 1999, Daqian is investing a lot of money to promote "Counter-Strike 2".
As it turned out, Boss Jia's second decision was correct.
Although "Counter-Strike" is very hasty from the competition to the players, although the teams of the 8 countries participating in the competition are almost all newcomers found from the few more than 100,000 players in "Counter-Strike", and then complete the registration of professional players as quickly as possible, and the strength is just like that.
However, "Counter-Strike" has a major change in the format, that is, it further strengthens the national nature.
Although all the players have a very clear nature of national representatives, the previous matches are individual battles in the end, and there may be a civil war in the finals, so the national nature is not too strong.
This is like most competitions in the Olympic Games, where the ID of an individual athlete is placed on the name of the country.
But "Counter-Strike" is different, Counter-Strike is not an individual game, but a team of 5 people, a collective battle.
Therefore, at the suggestion of Boss Jia, the WCG competition of "Counter-Strike" is set to each country can only send one team to participate, just like the World Cup, a country can only have one team.
In teams of five, the names of individual players are less eye-catching, and the only thing that stands out is the name of their own country on their heads.
In this way, the expectations of all the people in a country are all concentrated on one team, and this team will tie up the honor and disgrace of the whole country, and it will naturally be stronger than other competitions in the senses.
So when the game of "Counter-Strike" began, the teams of Huaxia, Fuso, Mi Guo, ST, South Korea, Bang Guo, Germany, and Australia appeared, and the quarterfinals of "Counter-Strike" directly began.
All players were cheered on by their national team.
I don't know if it was intentional, after the draw, Huaxia's opponent was actually Fusang, this match can be said to have detonated the audience in an instant, and all the Huaxia and Fusang audiences were all boiling.
And the United States is against South Korea, ST is against Germany, and the country is against Australia, except for ST against Germany, the rest are very gimmicky battles.
Fuso has not been a strong country in shooting games since ancient times, and the players of Fuso are all put together temporarily, and two of them are even members who are directly selected after signing up, because in the whole Fuso, there are only a dozen people who have signed up for the national team.
On the contrary, Huaxia's team Boss Jia attaches great importance to it, and Daqian Games has worked very hard to find a few masters to come over, and the result is naturally to beat the Fusang people and scream, and directly shaved their heads, and after three games, they didn't even get a small game victory, and the total number of heads was less than 10, and Huaxia already had hundreds of heads.
In the end, if the referee hadn't secretly said something, let the players give some face, and let the Fusang people not be too miserable, so the Huaxia team symbolically lost a small game, and then there was a burst of abuse, and the five people of the Fusang team who were abused never touched the FPS game again.
Fuso players were naturally greatly shocked, and then very angry, many players who watched the game were inspired and ashamed, and then began to play Counter-Strike, practice their skills hard, and take revenge in the future, which made Fuso's e-sports atmosphere improve a lot.
After the defeat of Fusang by the Chinese, it was the game of the South Korean team against the United States.
The Koreans didn't have much interest in Counter-Strike, but what everyone didn't expect was that the strength of this South Korean team was quite strong, and it actually played five games with the United States in BO5, and finally eliminated the United States team and advanced to the semifinals.
What, the Koreans defeated the Mi people in the world competition, and they won by means of war such as gunfights!!
All the Korean bankers climaxed instantly, and all of a sudden, all the Koreans who were not interested in Counter-Strike began to discuss the Counter-Strike competition, and these five hastily formed teams actually became Korean heroes for a while!
There is no way, the Korean people really need such heroes who can defeat the rice people, so although these five people were defeated by the Huaxia team in the end, they still enjoyed the general treatment of heroes after returning home.
The mentality of Koreans is like this, they flatter the country the most, rely on the country the most, fear the country the most, and hate the country the most.
This kind of mentality is actually the same for the Fuso people.
In other words, the same mentality is for countries all over the world that have been planted by the United States and have basically lost the sovereignty of their armies.
Anyway, Mi Guo is my father, but it doesn't prevent me from being a rebel.
In addition, ST actually defeated Germany, and Australia actually defeated Bo country.
What I didn't expect was that the final champion was actually the ST team, and the final battle was between the two teams of ST and Huaxia, and as a result, Huaxia was almost shaved by ST, if it weren't for the ST king, who was the captain of the team, said that he wanted to give the host a little face, and let a big situation to Huaxia, otherwise Huaxia would have lost 3:0.
This ending made Boss Jia very puzzled, could it be that the members of the ST team are also game masters carefully selected from all over the country?
But even so, with ST's lost population base, it is impossible to defeat Huaxia!
Later, when Boss Jia was having dinner with King ST, he told Boss Jia with a smile that in fact, in addition to him, the other 4 players of the ST team were all members of his palace guard, and they were the top sharpshooters in the country, the kind in reality.
As for himself, he often goes hunting in Africa, and although his marksmanship is not as good as that of the members of the palace guards, he is also at the level of a sharpshooter, after all, he is a master of feeding hundreds of thousands of bullets!
Although it is the first time for them to shoot a gun in a computer, it is different from the real war, and the operation may not be as good as those professional players.
However, the combat deployment and combat skills are the same, which are not mastered by professional e-sports players.
So these real-life masters can become game masters with a little training for a few weeks!
