Chapter V: Dignity (7)
Today, with a large amount of capital injection and the gradual entertainment of the e-sports circle, e-sports players have not been very successful in getting rid of the image of "Internet addicted teenagers". One of the important reasons is that many people outside the circle do not recognize that "playing games is also a profession." "The reason why a profession is called a profession is because it has its professional characteristics, and it is not something that can be done by an individual. The knowledge and skills mastered by people who have been engaged in this profession for a long time and enthusiasts of this profession are also not equated.
Wang Jingluo believes that today's e-sports industry is developing related entertainment industries, while ignoring the issue of disseminating the professionalism of professional players. In some e-sports projects, the official even openly opened the program and complained about the player's wrong operation. In the short term, this approach can indeed make esports players appear more "close to the people", and at the same time play a role in entertaining the public. However, in the long run, it is not conducive to the overall development of the industry.
On the surface, this approach increases the ratings and the topic of the event, and at the same time provides a window for the vast number of trolls to vent, reducing the pressure of public opinion on professional players, killing two birds with one stone. But this is actually a compromise to the change of direction of the trolls, indirectly telling everyone that professional players are actually very vegetable, there are a lot of mistakes, everyone makes memes, and there is nothing wrong with yin and yang, and the mistakes in the game are not a shame or shame, on the contrary, it is a good joke.
In the long run, under the effect of the fan economy, some teams will consider retaining those players who are not strong but are more popular because of a lot of "memes", so that those who really have strength will lose their chances. In this circle, a vicious circle is formed in which bad money drives out good money.
Once esports loses the all-important word "athletic", it will have no advantage over the traditional entertainment industry.
In fact, e-sports is an emerging sunrise industry, and many people of insight are exploring its development path. And Wang Jingluo went against the general trend and made some "de-entertainment" moves, which is actually a very bold attempt. No one can say whether this kind of move is profitable or lost, but from the degradation of the fan economy in the film market this year, it can be seen that there is no hard power to support it, and eventually all bubbles will be burst.
Although I have just felt the power of trolls, appropriate criticism can have a certain spur and positive effect on the development of the esports industry to a certain extent. If you can't show the strength that matches your status, you will be scolded, although this public opinion environment is bad, but it is also a sword hanging over the heads of all professional players, warning them not to relax their requirements, if you want to do a good job, you have to bear the pressure that ordinary people can't bear and put in many times the effort.
The training system is an important prop to distinguish professional and non-professional in the future, and at the same time, it also provides a bigger stage for trainers.
This training system is also very convenient to use, I copied the file sent by Lao Xu, and directly clicked to install, it will automatically find the game directory and overwrite it in its root directory. Then, all you have to do is launch the game and you can train with your account in the game's built-in "training mode".
Obviously, each trainer has different levels, different understandings of the game, and different training priorities for their own players. Then these people will definitely not develop the same environment, and the improvement effect of their own team members depends purely on the level of the trainer. It is conceivable that the training environment designed by the trainers will become an important secret of the team, just like internal skills and tactics. The subsequent game is not only a performance of five players on the field, but a contest of the comprehensive strength of a team, including logistics personnel.
I opened the steaming training environment developed by Lao Xu Gang and tried it under his guidance. In training mode, players still use their own game account, because the match is the same number as the usual game, so it is not surprising to achieve the best results.
Xu Zhiqiang: "This is just a first version, there are three environments in your package now, and you need to add environments and improve the existing environment in the future." After you use it, give more comments, and I will revise it according to your feedback. ”
I turned on the training mode and saw that there were indeed three training environments to choose from, and Lao Xu unpretentiously named them 1, 2, and 3.
I open the training environment named "1". Sure enough, I saw the carved boat appear in the center of the picture, but found that I could only move in a small range. In addition to me, there is also a sphere suspended in mid-air with a diameter of more than a human being.
Xu Zhiqiang: "This environment is for you to train to block long-range attacks, and when the countdown is over, there will be all kinds of arrows and hidden weapons, flying from all directions." What you have to do is not to dodge these things, but to protect the ball behind you, different hidden weapons will have different damage, and the ball will also have a certain amount of health. All you have to do is try to block the flying objects and not let the ball get hurt. ”
Me: "Then I'll just block it with my body." ”
Xu Zhiqiang: "You think too much, the hidden weapon will also hurt you, of course, unlike in the real game, if you can block these long-range weapons in this one, then you will not suffer any damage, but if you don't block, but are hit by the hidden weapon, you will also lose blood." The game is over when you run out of health or orbs out of health. You want to try to get through it for as long as possible. ”
I tried to start the training, and sure enough, the hidden weapon flew from all directions according to a certain rhythm and frequency. This makes me can't help but look at the six roads, listen to the eight directions, and even more deceitful is that I can't just protect myself, I have to keep moving to protect the ball behind me. The ball was about the same height as my own, but it was suspended in mid-air, so if I had to deal with a ranged weapon flying from above, it wasn't enough to just get to the right position on a parallel plane, I would have to jump up and crotch it.
Within five minutes, the ball's health was gone, and the game was over.
Me: "Damn, that's too bad." I'm just fighting fires everywhere, how can I stop this? ”
Xu Zhiqiang: "It's right if you can't block it, what's the need for training if you block it?" You can go straight to the game, this training will improve your reflexes and judgment about trade-offs. After a few more rounds, you will become familiar with the amount of damage caused by various hidden weapons. ”
Me: "Does it make any difference how much you hurt?" Don't you have to block it all? ”
