20 years later

The British islands

In a very small house

The huge living room, about 30 square meters, is very ordinary, but very neat, a simple sense of sight, lingering in the whole room, in a corner of the living room, a thing full of commemorative significance stands there.

It was a green shield, a symbol of the glory of the past, a legendary shield with five names engraved on it.

004 (Zhao Shousi), Terminator (Lu Hai), Skyorld (Lingyun), Iceice (Erbing) and Xiaonan (Li Nan) at the end. This champion shield has been put away for 20 years, but it is still very clean, and even the green color is still some dazzling. That was the myth of that year, a grassroots team, at the moment when the Huaxia Legion was wiped out, it was they who stood up! It was they who taught the world that no one is born weak!

Now, according to the original championship, it has been a long time, with the passage of time, people's hearts have gradually let go of the original obsession, and the feeling of standing on the top of the world is not as comfortable as imagined.

What he is more of a responsibility and an obligation: to carry forward the fine tradition.

"It's been 20 years...... the middle-aged man sat lazily on the sofa, he looked at the former glory with invisible eyes, and couldn't help but let out a sigh from his heart, which came to his lips.

"Yes, you got this championship shield when you were 20 years old, and now that you think about it, is it still like yesterday?" The middle-aged woman on the side whispered after hearing his sigh.

When a woman reaches middle age, she can still have a face like her who is not losing her 20s, I have to say that if a person is well maintained, he can be ten years younger, this is true, at this moment, she is less youthful and immature, a little more mature and dignified, the sickle of the years, did not leave a deep trace on her face, she is still the same, graceful.

Looking at the woman who has been following him for more than 20 years, he sighed: "Yes, I feel like standing on the stage of TI, like yesterday, now that I think about it, TI has been held for 28 sessions, alas, it is really old......"

The man is undoubtedly Lu Hai, who was once the world's No. 1 midlaner, the world champion of TI8, the title jeweler of the water man, the famous lecturer of DOTA2, opened the DOTA2 classroom, and even taught the CN champion team of TI12, countless titles have been added to his head, Lu Hai, after all, has become a generation of grandmasters.

It's a pity that the sword is old, and the older giant fish have also faded out of people's sight. This game, after all, has entered the final stage.

The fresh blood has almost zero, and the new generation of children has played the mainstream new VR games of the times, and PC games like Dota 2 have become the best memories of middle-aged and elderly people.

TI has been held, with fewer and fewer people and a bigger prize pool.

This is an inevitable trend. Every doter,Real life,More and more money,Although the time to play this game may not be more,But as long as the book is released,,Will come back to buy and buy,This maybe,That's the charm of dota2。

This year's just-concluded TI28, the champion team, DND. Five middle-aged people from Huaxia have an average age of 34.

After four years, Huaxia once again won the world champion Aegis of Dota 2, their age, compared with the average age of 28 years old in foreign competitions, is a kind of big brother existence, the last generation of players in the game Dota 2.

This team once again evokes the sense of glory in the hearts of these former doters. Team DND, full name DOTA

never

die！ Dota never dies! The boss behind this team is none other than Lu Hai himself.

After many years of dedication to the club's career, Lu Hai's DND club has won five TI championships, plus Lu Hai's own CNbest team, a total of 7 times, setting a record for the club with the most championships in the Dota world.

"Xiaoqing, how is Li Nan's conversation with V over there? Did she message back? I haven't heard from England for the past few days. Lu Hai asked thoughtfully.

Fang Qing has reached this age, and those emotions at the beginning are almost gone, she said: "Li Nan said that the V agency did not give a reply, it seems that it ignored our proposal and did not give us the opportunity to authorize the publication of the book and publicity, we want to do it secretly?" ”

"I've guessed that V Club VR games, where do you still think about Dota 2, it's basically just a constant circle of money." Lu Hai said, "Looking at the books he has made in the past two years, it is really getting more and more perfunctory." But if you do it secretly, I'm for it. ”

"Poof~", Fang Qing couldn't help laughing: "Don't you say that V Society is perfunctory every time, it's been perfunctory for twenty years, and it's not the same ......"

Lu Hai is a few years old, and he is still the same as when he was young, his eyes looked at Fang Qing dumbfoundedly, and he touched his head embarrassedly: "I seem to be ...... I've played Dota 2 as a dress-up game. ”

"There are too many jewelry, and it's normal to play it as a dress-up game, more than 30 heroes have treasures, and an immortal hero can almost be filled with every position, and there are repeated positions, and there are countless myths that are good-looking, this game has deteriorated......" Fang Qing said helplessly, "I think at the beginning, I didn't have a naked model of jewelry to play, but now, alas, ......"

"Accompany me to Huaxia, let's have a Dota publicity meeting by ourselves, and go to see my parents and son by the way." Lu Hai said.

Fang Qing nodded in agreement.

After nearly ten years of live broadcast and video making, Lu Hai later established a club on his own, and gradually withdrew from the screen and went to the rear. Taking over Li Mufeng's overseas industry, Lu Hai successfully drove a dota industry chain, whether it is a professional team, a competition, a peripheral mall, clothes, etc., or even a jewelry trading website, Lu Hai has made it and realized his life as a whole with DOTA.

By private jet, Lu Hai and Fang Qing went to Huaxia. Li Nan had already arrived in Huaxia early, she was taking care of the children, and Fang Qing was different, the personalities of the two people were different, which determined the way the two people treated life, and there was a big difference.

…… Huaxia, the imperial capital.

Lu Hai went to Huaxia this time, ready to use his actual actions and economic expenditures to promote Dota again.

In this promotion, Lu Hai invited all the veterans in the DO circle, and it was their business whether they came or not, but being a man, inviting or not to invite was Lu Hai's business, and he invited even the well-known anchors in the DO circle. Regardless of gender, the number of people invited was about 300, but Lu Hai looked at the invitation, and there were only about 40 people.

They are all the biggest anchors in the do circle, but because of their age, they are old and can't play, so they quit the live broadcast circle of Dota.

The layout of the scene is very simple.,Basically, some hero models in Dota are placed around the hall.,Call some young ladies who like cos.,Cos on the spot.。

Lu Hai and Fang Qing and Li Nan were the first people to arrive at the scene, and the next one who came to cheer was the fourth brother.

After so many years, the fourth brother still likes to be Lu Hai's dog's leg, as soon as he came over, he pounced on Lu Hai with a smile: "Brother Hai, I really want to kill you!" Where did you go this year, the whole of China can't find you. ”

Lu Hai said with a smile: "There are still people in Huaxia that you can't find, so they must not be in Huaxia." ”

"So you're going abroad! Went out with two sisters-in-law? The fourth brother asked curiously.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Lu Hai was a little angry and wanted to hit him twice, Zhao Shousi, a stinky guy, always had a hippie smile like this, "You are becoming more and more like a little brother, you are like this, how can you be a big brother?" ”

"In front of others, I'm the eldest brother, and in front of you, I'm the younger brother, what's wrong? Who would dare to disagree? The fourth brother sounded like words that were very detrimental to his status, but he had a hint of domineering......

"This ...... Fourth brother, there is you! When did you chase Miss Lu? Lu Hai exclaimed, "Xiaoqing, she is your good friend, didn't she tell you?" ”

"We're all adults, and we don't have the same personality that we used to like to talk about, so we don't talk to people outside." Miss Lu said, "We are almost 40 years old, and we have never been married, chatting and chatting, I feel that he can talk to me together, so we are together." ”

"Yes, Brother Hai, we also talked about the time when we went to the Internet café to play the game, I think it's so fast......"

"Things are people, among the people you know, you should be the last to get married, my sons are in high school, you just got married, and in the future, your children, I'm afraid you have to call my son uncle, hahaha!" Lu Hai laughed evilly, and the fourth brother's face turned green.

"! I named my child Zhao Luhai, and I will call him Luhai every day in the future, see if you are still smiling! ”

Lu Hai scolded the fourth brother countless times in his heart, nmb, this trick is really vicious, if the child is really called this name, Lu Hai really wants to shoot him to death, which is too annoying.

"You two, how many adults you are, you still like to make a fuss when you meet, there are so many people watching over there, and there are media reporters, can you be a little more restrained." Fang Qing on the side couldn't look past it and said.

One is a person who can turn the e-sports circle upside down with a word, and the other is a boss who can make the other party unable to survive with a word......

Pulling the mast, inside are the people invited by Lu Hai, and outside are countless Dota fans, with a lot of age spans, but they are basically between 30 and 50 years old, and there are also some young people who come here to join in the fun.

In the situation inside, a lot of tree people came one after another. "Hey! Brother Tian! Long time no see! ”

"MD, fathead fish, you're fat again!"

"Huh? Brother Snapper, you've grown taller! ”

"What do you mean I've grown taller, it's dc that you've become shorter!"

A lot of bigwigs who used to be in the circle came one after another, and everyone was very excited to meet, this meeting, I heard that it was held by Lu Hai, and it was to promote Dota, and those of them who had communicated with Lu Hai in their anchor careers came to the scene in person.

After greeting each other, there were more and more people outside, and after Lu Hai looked at the number of people, he walked to the stage and presided over it in person.

He tentatively fed twice, looked at the situation of the microphone, and after nothing happened, Lu Haicai said: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, and say something next." ”

Hearing Lu Hai's words, not only the media and reporters, but also the people who came here to pull the calves stopped talking and quietly waited for his news.

"Everyone, this time I mainly called you here, mainly to make a promotion for our favorite game, Dota 2." Lu Hai said, he didn't pause, and continued, "As we all know, the current Dota 2 has less than 10,000 people online at the same time in China, and there are always so few high-scoring players and low-scoring players when they play, and it seems that it has lost its vitality. ”

The anger gradually became a little suppressed.

"He, like football and basketball, is a fair, just, competitive game, a person who uses his brain, a body, and plays basketball, often saying that playing basketball is moving the body, so why can't he change the way of thinking, play dota, and you can exercise your brain? If I say that doing Dota properly can make the brain smarter, how many people would like to believe this? ”

Lu Hai stretched out a hand and gestured to the fan group behind him, and the fans quickly raised their arms.

Li Nan, who was standing nearby in the audience, smiled and said to Fang Qing: "Look at Lu Hai, now he looks like a speaker~"

"It's a bit like that, and it would be better if I wore a suit again."

"Alas, it's a pity that he doesn't like formal clothes, it's too restrictive......"

After Lu Hai had a wave of interaction with the masses, he stood back and continued: "I have stood on top of the world, and many of the Dota old-timers here are the same, and they have the same experience, that is, to be able to pass on this spirit, this kind of thing, and there will be successors. ”

Speaking of this, Brother Feng, who is almost fifty years old, his eyes are slightly ruddy, thinking about everything at the beginning, and now, with the passage of time, he has gradually lost that initial feeling.

"Brother Hai, we are all players who have been playing DOTA! We've got you covered! The fans in the rear shouted loudly.

Soon, the sound of a piece of voice came.

"That's right! We support Dota! Let Dota live on forever! ”

After Lu Hai's hands crossed 90 degrees, the scene turned back to silence, leaving him alone.

"If the game of Dota can't be passed on to the next generation, like Olympic sports such as football and basketball, and become a kind of sport, it will follow our generation, perish together, and go to the end together." Lu Hai said, "Becoming a project inevitably means that he will not belong to anyone, not to V Society, the server will be set up in every place, in every location, all over the world, it will take a long time to get to this point, I ...... In the effort. ”

Lu Hai's persistence touched many people on the scene, "Now people have been brainwashed by virtual VR games, what I want to appeal to now is to let young people participate in the Dota project, and continue to carry forward our spirit, as long as this game does not fall, I will always work hard to make it a future competition project!" ”

"Well said!" A burst of strong applause filled the entire auditorium, and Lu Hai's most simple words touched many people.

"Finally, I would like to say that Dota has been with me for more than 20 years, and he will always be with me, forever! Dota is immortal, my heart is immortal! ”

"Dota is not dead! My heart is not extinguished! ”

"Dota is not dead! My heart is not extinguished! The young people at the scene shouted together with the middle-aged crowd. Although they don't know the status of Dota in the hearts of these people, this sentence is infinitely infectious, and he forces a person who does not fight Dota to be willing to shout such words.

"The next time, hand it over to the other veterans~" Lu Hai's words changed, which immediately caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

The second one to come to power is the old-timer who has always insisted on being in the DO circle, B God.

"Uh...... I don't know what to say, but I'm excited to see so many friends who still support Dota today......"

……

One by one, the veterans took turns on stage and shared their DOTA youth with everyone, constantly infecting friends all over the country and even the world who watched the live broadcast.

All of this is to make Dota more brilliant!

…… ……

The sun is still so bright, the sky is still so blue, everything is so peaceful, lying on the small bed at home, feeling the quiet time at noon, the middle-aged man saw his son come back from school at noon, and gently opened his eyes.

"Son, dad taught you to play something today~"

"What's that?"

"A computer game."

"What's it called? Have I heard of it? ”

"This game is called DOTA!"

…… The end of the play
