Chapter 14: I Seem to Like It
"What? You said your dad is Lin Haifeng? You didn't say it earlier! Wang Ying was taken aback.
Lin Yu said, "You haven't asked me again. β
Li Xiaolu asked suspiciously, "Who is Lin Haifeng?" β
"The owner and coach of Team IF." It was Lin Yu who spoke.
"You mean that if? iceandfireοΌ Li Xiaolu said with an unbelievable expression.
Wang Ying continued: "IF, Ice & Fire Club, can be said to be one of the largest e-sports teams in China, from the previous SC, CS, WAR3, to today's SC2, as well as Dota and other projects. Its boss and coach Lin Haifeng, known as the godfather of Chinese esports, although he has not appeared for many years, and the rumors have receded into the background, I didn't expect him to be your father. β
"Is my dad so good?" Lin Yu felt a little embarrassed that someone was praising his father in front of him.
Wang Ying continued: "What's more, China's e-sports industry has become the state it is in today, thanks to the efforts of Lin Haifeng and his group of people in the past. β
Li Xiaolu asked, "What did you just say about the master?" Your Warcraft was taught by your dad? β
Lin Yu nodded and said: "That's right, when I was in junior high school, my dad gave up his club job and bought a place in the suburbs, saying that he wanted to enjoy life, and sometimes the people in their club would go there when they trained, and my Warcraft was learned there, and sometimes I would play a few games with them." β
"No wonder you're so powerful...... Wang Ying said with a shocked face, "All in all, you can rest assured now, with his father here, it's more than enough to teach our academy team." β
Lin Yu said: "It's too early to say don't worry, you come over on time tomorrow, I'll take you over, I don't know if you can succeed, it's up to you." I'm going back now, are you two more together? Or ......"
Li Xiaolu glanced at him and said: "I think it's beautiful, the two of us generally live on campus, since you have a computer, go back and watch the video, be familiar with the heroes, and don't know anything about the province." β
"You two don't have to worry about it, I have my own way." Lin Yu said with a smile, his eyes revealing confidence.
Early the next morning, Shen Hao, Juli, Wang Ying, Li Xiaolu and Lin Yu came to a villa in the suburbs.
"Girl, it turns out that your family is still a landlord." Li Xiaolu looked at the double-storey villa in front of her and said with a smile.
"Let's go in first." Saying that, Lin Yu opened the door, "Dad, I brought my classmate over." β
A man of forty or fifty years of age walked in front of him, of medium height, with slightly bald sideburns, thick and neat eyebrows, and a pair of sparkling eyes. When he smiled, he showed a mouthful of neat and slightly white teeth: "Haha, Xiao Yu, not bad, not bad, as soon as I came back, I brought two girls, I have a future, and I deserve to be my son." β
"Don't make fun of me, I'm looking for you today."
Everyone was taken to the living room and sat down, and Wang Ying told the general situation of the matter.
Lin Haifeng thought for a moment and said, "In other words, you want me to guide you to play DOTA, especially to teach my son to play DOTA, and then obtain the qualification to enter the school team in a month?" β
Shen Hao nodded and said sincerely: "That's right, that's it, I know this may be a bit abrupt, but I still have to ask you to help us, Uncle Lin." β
When Lin Haifeng heard this, he was unmoved, smiled slightly, and said: "Teach my son Dota to talk about it for the time being, then, you tell me, help you, what good will it do me to do this?" β
"This ......" Everyone was speechless for a while, yes, this was originally their own problem, but now they not only pulled Lin Yu in, but also Lin Yu's father Lin Haifeng was also involved, and everyone fell silent for a while.
At this time, Li Xiaolu said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, look, if you teach us, then it will be our master, we are so smart and lovely people who have become your apprentices, and we will definitely be able to beat your name as master in the future, so that you can say when you meet people in the future, that so-and-so is my apprentice, how majestic and face-saving, isn't it?" Master. β
Lin Haifeng smiled: "Haha, this kid is good at talking, not bad, but I have no interest in money, fame and fortune, do you think you can impress me with these?" β
"Of course not, in the name of your Master Lin, if you want to accept apprentices, there must be a lot of people who come here, but don't you think this matter is very interesting? I'm sure you'll agree," It was Wang Ying who spoke, and Lin Yu noticed that Wang Ying seemed to be nervous, and his hands trembled slightly.
Lin Haifeng frowned and looked at these people in front of him, without speaking, as if he was also thinking. Wang Ying kept looking into his eyes.
After a long time, Lin Haifeng smiled: "Hehe, it's interesting, then I'll see how interesting you can make me." β
Wang Ying said in surprise: "So, did you agree?" β
Lin Haifeng nodded with a smile, and everyone cheered, "I'll talk ahead, teach, I will teach you, but how much you can comprehend depends on your own." β
After speaking, Lin Haifeng turned to look at Lin Yu and asked, "Do you really want to learn DOTA?" β
"Yes," Lin Yu's answer was firm.
Lin Haifeng looked at his son in front of him, about Lin Yu and Xia Mengqi in the past, as a father, Lin Haifeng still knew something: "Can you tell me why?" β
"Because it's a game you love and you'll never forget." Lin Yu said seriously, "And I seem to have liked it already." β
Lin Haifeng smiled, smiled happily, he patted his son's shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand." You haven't seen all those online videos and teachings, right? β
Lin Yu also smiled and said, "Of course not, I won't go to see anything." β
Li Xiaolu listened and said, "Didn't you remind you to see it yesterday, why don't you watch it." β
Lin Yu didn't have time to speak, Lin Haifeng said: "It's right not to watch any teaching and videos, this is my rule, before I really learn it, I don't need to watch these things, it will interfere with my own judgment, this is also the common principle I teach all games." β
Li Xiaolu asked puzzledly: "But, why?" Isn't that slow to learn? Wouldn't it be better to find out beforehand? β
Lin Haifeng shook his head with a smile and said: "Many people think that a game can't be played, or can't be played well, and it takes a lot of time to watch other people's videos, as well as teaching videos, to learn, in fact, this effect is very poor." Lin Haifeng picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and continued: "Many teaching videos, as well as explanatory videos, the components of the performance are greater than the teaching, of course, there are also some good teaching videos, which will introduce some tactics and operations in detail, but no matter how detailed the explanation is, after all, it is not you who are fighting, many things will be inadvertently ignored, and it can even be said that watching ten videos is not as good as being abused by yourself, after all, it is your own personal experience." It's like a glass of water on this table, if you don't drink it, you never know what it tastes like just by looking at it. β
"Then I've been playing for a long time, and I've basically paid attention to what I should have paid attention to, but I don't feel like I've made any progress, why is that?" The question was asked by Shen Hao, as the captain of the academy team, it can be said that among the several people present, the time to play Dota is the longest.
Lin Haifeng shook his head with a smile and said, "Are you really paying attention?" I'm afraid not. Next, it's up to me to give you something. β
Lin Haifeng continued: "The skills of many masters have been formed, and everyone has different habits, watching other people's videos, will interfere with their own playing style because of many other people's playing styles, watching videos, if you look at it with a pure appreciation attitude, there is no problem, and if you deliberately want to learn something from it, it often has little effect, far less refined than what you learned when you played." Saying this, Lin Haifeng paused slightly.
"After all, someone else's things will always be someone else's, and learning from others will never be able to surpass. The first thing you have to do now, and the first lesson I want to teach you, is to find yourself first. β
Everyone was thoughtful.
Lin Haifeng led everyone to a room on the second floor, "This is the training room. β
"It's huge!" Everyone exclaimed, there were two rows of computers neatly placed in the room, a total of ten, all fully equipped, and a freezer in the corner with various drinks. The only one who wasn't surprised was Lin Yu, after all, he had been here countless times.
Lin Haifeng looked at everyone's surprised expressions, seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's reactions, and said: "Although I have retired, people from our club usually come to me sometimes to study some new tactics, and in this month, you can use all the facilities here at will." As for my son, first go to the vs platform, and after playing 200 games, come here to find me, and then I will officially start teaching you. You know my rules, VS has a record of the number of battles faced on the front, so it's best not to try to fool around. β
"Two... Two hundred? Juli said in surprise, "Even if you calculate an average of 40 minutes per game, it is already very good to be able to play about 15 games a day, and 200 games, at least half a month, is it too late?" β
Lin Haifeng glanced at everyone's surprised expressions, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that the time was a little tight, two hundred would be a bit less, don't underestimate my son, when he was clamoring to learn Warcraft, I let him be abused for two thousand, but considering that he had some foundation for Warcraft before, although two hundred was less, it should be about the same." β
However, Lin Yu did not have the slightest surprise after hearing this, nodded and found a computer and began to practice.
At this time, Lin Yu is equivalent to a blank piece of paper, he can't do anything, and it is precisely because he can't know anything that he can find a suitable way to play as quickly as possible and make rapid progress.
"By the way, son, I forgot to tell you, enter AP mode, and then use -randon to randomly select heroes to play, otherwise if you always use several similar heroes, it will have no effect." Lin Haifeng added.
Lin Yu signaled that he understood, and practiced on his own.
"What about us?" Li Xiaolu couldn't wait to ask.
"A few of you go into the AP room together, I'll designate a few heroes for the four of you, each of you chooses a favorite one, go play a game and show me."
Lin Haifeng thought for a moment and said, "Fengxing, captain, tide, and an ice girl." You decide for yourself to use each of these four heroes. β
"There's nothing I like, why don't you give us a post?" Li Xiaolu complained.
Lin Haifeng sighed and said: "Many beginners like to play the late stage, this is a common problem of playing dota, on the one hand, believe in their basic skills, on the other hand, they want to be able to kill the equipment after playing, so they always like to choose a late stage to use, in fact, it is often auxiliary and some gank heroes, these heroes are more test of operation, awareness, has the overall situation, etc., can reflect a person's most real strength." β
"I don't like anything, then I'll use the Ice Girl." Li Xiaolu said.
"I'll use the wind." It was Juli who spoke.
"Give me the tide." Wang Ying said.
"Then I'll be the captain." Shen Hao looked at everyone and said, "Let's start." β
(Thank you Nuan Ren for your suggestion, from now on, at least one chapter of 3,000 words per day.) In addition, I would like to say a few words about Dota that I think happiness is more important than winning or losing. It's the same with writing novels, I don't ask for many recommendations for my novels, I collect them, I write them just because I like them. I've always believed that writing is about sharing what I think and feel with the reader, so that as long as someone wants to read it, I will write it. I hope you can learn something from my novels, feel something, and in short, just have fun. οΌ
