There was a dead silence in the training room, only the sound of keyboards and mice could be heard, and everyone was lining up in the arena, as if they were eager to recover the "field" lost in the previous game by defeating the opponents in the arena.

I've thought about the situation in the past few days, and no matter what happened to my teammates, at least this defeat is my responsibility. I'm going to say something at dinner to liven things up, and I'm sure that as long as everyone talks about it, a regular season loss isn't that scary.

Just then, Luna pushed the door open and walked into the training room. In the past, he was dressed as a successful businessman, but today he actually wore the uniform of the Tianyuan Relic Team and came here, I don't know what his intentions were. When he entered the door, he only said two words: "Meeting".

In fact, everyone has no intention of training, and the reason why they are playing games crazily is just to temporarily distract their attention, so as to reduce the pain of failure.

After everyone was busy with the game in hand, they turned the gaming chair around, facing the door, and Luna himself found an e-sports chair to sit down, and then motioned Leng Zi to turn on the projector. I suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time our team had a meeting, and I was a little nervous to see the boss's expression so serious. I know very well that losing the game will not make Zhang Guangyue angry, but losing so ugly may not be.

The projector lit up, and the five of us and the four members of the coaching staff, everyone looked there. Zhang Guangyue pressed the remote control, and there was a game on the projector, which was the one I lost to the hooded man the day before yesterday. To be honest, I don't want to look back on this scene again, but I know that if I want to overcome my demons, I have to take this step, at least know where I lost. At the same time, I wanted to know what my own favorite player, and now my boss, thought of the game.

Before the recording began, he pressed pause, and a line chart appeared on the screen.

Zhang Guangyue: "Let's take a look, this is the APM curve of Chen Liao in a game that I asked Leng Zi to find casually. ”

As you can see from the line chart, from the beginning of the game, my APM has been stable at around 350, and in the middle and late stages of the line, it may occasionally soar above 400.

APM stands for operations per minute, which is one of the important indicators to measure the operation ability of players. Stable and efficient APM is effective and healthy, and the curve that fluctuates between high and low is mostly suspected of brushing hand speed, and at the same time, the reference value is not large.

Zhang Guangyue pressed the remote control again, and another curve appeared on the projection, and the two curve graphs were superimposed, but it could be seen that the second curve was significantly lower than the first, like a frozen earthworm.

Zhang Guangyue: "The second one is Chen Liao's APM when he played the game the day before yesterday. ”

The APM of the second one fluctuates a lot, and it only looks like 150 on average. Obviously, in the game the day before yesterday, my poor performance was far from being simply "aberration".

Zhang Guangyue pressed the remote control again, and at this time, the first line chart on the screen that represented my usual performance disappeared, and a new line chart reappeared. This line chart is slightly higher than the second one, but it is significantly lower than my usual level, which averages around 180.

Zhang Guangyue: "This is the APM of the hooded man, from this, what conclusions can we draw?" ”

"Uh...... This person turned Chen Liao into a rookie, and then defeated him with his rich experience? Song Yi replied tentatively.

Indeed, judging from the APM line chart, it can be concluded that it is true that losing to someone with an APM of only 180 is really undeserved, and what is even more ridiculous is that I actually only scored 150. It seems that I can only conclude that I am better than him.

Zhang Guangyue didn't give an answer immediately, but pressed the remote control again, and the screen switched to another video.

As the game unfolds, the person who wields the sword gradually gains the upper hand, while the person with the sword seems to have forgotten his position and is gradually frozen in place.

Zheng Mingchuan broke the content of the video in one sentence: "Isn't this a video of the lights not shining, he is casting with a knife." ”

The so-called knife casting is a unique skill in the future, that is, through their own attacks and movements, and appropriately sell some flaws to give the opponent positive and negative feedback, such as this fight, you can hit me, this fight, you can't hit me. Over time, the opponent will develop operational inertia, which can be used to fully immerse the opponent in their own rhythm of the game. Since there is no positive feedback from movement and positioning, they stay in place, as if they can cause some damage to the lights. As a result, the opponent will unconsciously stay in place, as if he has been cast on the ground by the subtle sword technique of the light.

Everyone in the league knows that he has this trick, but there are very few people who can crack this trick after all, and everyone will always unconsciously enter his rhythm in the game against him, and only after the game will he react and cry out regret.

In the past six months, I have twice been the losing side in a game with a large disparity, once when I faced this hooded man the day before yesterday, and the other time, under the guidance of Leng Zi half a year ago, I lost in the light of a move with an attribute higher than the opponent's account.

The defeat in that game half a year ago didn't have such a huge impact on me as this one, because the opponent was the first person today, and although he had an advantage in all aspects, it was not a shame to lose to him. And in that game, I was quite satisfied with my own performance, but the opponent was really skilled.

But this defeat was a completely different thing. First of all, I'm a professional now, and I'm not as strong as I was six months ago. Secondly, the other party is just a passer-by of unknown origin, not a professional player or a well-known god. At the same time, I can also see from the poor APM curve that I am very dissatisfied with my performance. The difference between the 350 and the 150 is huge, and I can feel it when I operate it myself.

Liu Chuanhao: "Mr. Zhang, you mean, this person is actually very strong, and he used a knife-like style of play to suppress Chen Liao's operation?" ”

Zhang Guangyue: "So to speak, and if you look closely, although his APM is not high, it is very similar to Chen Liao's curve status. Don't you think it's scary to think about this? ”

As Zhang Guangyue said, his curve is almost like translating my curve straight up. While each player's speed fluctuates, it's almost impossible for opponents to have similar curves in the same game. And this person's curve is inevitably a little too similar to mine, that is, I am operating, he is also operating, I am paddling, he is also paddling, it is indeed very scary to think about it.
