Chapter 4: An Open Duel (4)

I; “……”

Yang Jing: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Me: "Not really? The amount of information is a bit large, plus I didn't have a good rest last night. I'll just go get some sleep, thank you so much this time, if there's anything I can do to help you in the future, just say hello. ”

Yang Jing: "Hmm. ”

At this time, I didn't think that although the flag I set up now seems like a polite word, it is my sincere flag, which will bring huge hidden dangers in the future.

After saying goodbye to Yang Jing, I returned to the hotel, and now the pressure of public opinion on the Internet is much less, and the people who question my opening can't get any powerful real hammer for the time being. My original plan was to get rid of this matter and make up for it, but what Yang Jing said when she parted made me feel no sleepy.

never expected that Yang Jing's sister is Yang Ruiqi, although there are many self-media people who are engaged in e-sports gossip now, but no one seems to have broken this fierce news. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't said it myself.

And what exactly do these esports sisters want to do? What is the purpose of them in hiding their kinship from the public? Judging from the photo hanging in the snack bar, Yang Jing's sister and Wang Jingluo must have a not simple relationship, and her sister came to this game to become a professional player. It seems that the so-called queen of e-sports has a much deeper relationship with "Book Title" than imagined.

And I didn't know her, so why did she find her sister and come up with such a wonderful way to save my field?

I actually have a lot of questions, but I'm not familiar with Yang Jing, and she helped me a lot today, so it doesn't seem polite to keep chasing people and asking each other about things at home.

Of course, I don't intend to give up when my curiosity is not satisfied. I found Yang Ruiqi's past match interview records and tried to find some clues from them. Since Yang Jing and Yang Ruiqi can be regarded as beauties, and I am a little face blind, their images with makeup on stage are really indistinguishable in my eyes, and they are not similar.

I once heard a research report that said that the degree of recognition of a person's facial features is related to the familiarity of the person and the target, that is, the more familiar you are with the person, the easier it is for you to remember the details of their face, and the more unique their appearance is in your mind.

When I turned over the video from that year, I had to agree with the views in this report. For example, in my eyes, Xie Liuying looks different from them, at least in my subjective appearance, it is more comfortable.

I naturally know that I am not here to appreciate beautiful women, and I hope to find clues in these videos about the connection between this queen of esports and the title of the book. Sadly, though, despite the fact that she's dabbled in a number of games in different genres and achieved great results, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the title. After all, when the game exploded, she had been retired for many years.

I searched all the way to the end, but found an interview in her retirement battle that interested me, it was an ordinary domestic competition at that time, and before the game, Yang Ruiqi announced that she would retire after the game and no longer get involved in any field of e-sports. This is also the last time she appeared in the public eye, and few people know her whereabouts after that, and it seems that she has not broken her promise and left the esports circle completely.

At that time, it was the era of the strictest domestic policies, and it was also the slowest time for the development of e-sports, and both professional events and related practitioners in that era were far from being as professional as they look today, such as the reporter who interviewed him, who seemed to use a home digital camera and an ordinary voice recorder:

Reporter: "As the idol of countless people, do you have any plans after retiring?" ”

Yang Ruiqi: "I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I can go back to study or find a job I like." ”

Indeed, in those days, there was no live broadcast industry, and even the average Internet speed in the country was completely incomparable with today, so there were really not many retreats for professional players.

The reporter wondered: "Even if a famous player like you leaves the professional stage, have you ever considered engaging in an e-sports-related industry?" Like becoming a coach, team leader, or manager. ”

Yang Ruiqi smiled bitterly: "It's not profitable to do e-sports, I have played professionally for so many years, and my grades are passable, and I still rent a house to live, and there are many players in the profession who have not made achievements, and their situation is even less optimistic, so I plan to do some money-making work in the future." ”

Her words really showed the embarrassing situation of the e-sports industry back then, and now there are many "people of insight" who are speaking out, saying that the injection of capital has ruined the e-sports industry. However, the truth is that without the support of capital, the industry is a joke that is completely supported by dreams, and no one will pay for your humble dreams, even if they are good players.

The interviewer seemed to realize that it would be a bit awkward to ask this question any longer, and instead changed the subject: "What do you think about the future of the esports industry?" ”

This question made Yang Ruiqi fall silent, and after a long time, she slowly spit out: "I don't know." ”

In an instant, the video I had watched before was all coherent in my mind.

In an important competition abroad that year, she broke the West's domination of an RTS event and won the women's championship. After winning, she took out a neatly folded national flag from her backpack in the competition venue that resembled an old Internet café, draped the flag over her body in front of the unprofessional camera and the single-digit fans present, and raised her fist vigorously at the same time, at that moment her petite body burst out with the momentum of a warrior.

In the final stage of an FPS game, all her teammates were killed, leaving only her and one remaining opponent, solo, and then, she ended the opponent's life with a very spiritual long-range headshot, and won the crucial game. When asked in the post-match interview what she wanted to do with the prize money, she said bluntly: "I want to have a good meal with my teammates first, and I eat instant noodles every day during training." ”

In the knockout stage of a MOBA game league, after her team was unfortunately eliminated, she said in a post-game interview: "I think esports may be eating youth, I am a little older now, and I feel that the reaction is not as fast as before." At that time, she was 24 years old, and she was the age of youth and beauty to people outside the industry.

As soon as I got in touch, I understood that this person didn't owe anything to the e-sports community, on the contrary, the e-sports industry owed her a lot. In the context of not having the blessing of the times and industry dividends, some people don't know if it's because they're stupid or whatever, but they're still persisting!
