On July 20, the final training camp ended and the Olympic roster was announced.

The first makeup photo is indeed Xu Ruoguang wearing the uniform of an Olympic athlete.

His face was indifferent, his hands were clasped in front of his chest and he tilted his head slightly, looking down at the camera.

Proud, but reassuring.

I've been enduring the light powder for a few months, and I'm completely crazy.

"After holding it for so long, it's finally time to blow it!"

That's how they feel.

Because of the extremely high degree of secrecy in the training camp, they only knew that Brother Guang performed very well in the training camp, but they didn't know the specific situation at all.

My heart has been going up and down.

It wasn't until the list was completely announced and the team went to Tokyo, Japan, that the light fans began to officially carnival at this time.

Suddenly, in major cities across the country, all the promotional photos in many subway stations were replaced by Xu Ruoguang.

This is the fans themselves to pay for it.

Online, #徐若光的热搜开始霸榜!

And it's not for a short time, it's terrifying to hang on Weibo for a week!

Countless fans began to record their blessing videos and posted them on major websites, hoping that Xu Ruoguang would be able to achieve good results.

Every move made fans of some traffic stars dumbfounded.

Whose fan is this?!

Obviously, I haven't heard of this idol either, why are there so many fans all of a sudden now?!

And the high level of discipline is terrible.

They tried their best to make their brother's hot search go up, but they couldn't touch Xu Ruoguang's popularity at all.

The kind that doesn't work no matter how much money you spend!

And abroad, #Emporer的热搜同样在多国社交媒体登顶.

The official action of the LCK is even faster than that of the LPL, and the official tweet was directly issued when the LPL was still preparing promotional materials.

It was a photo of Xu Ruoguang kissing the championship trophy.

Caption: Legend, has returned.

Under this tweet, countless LCK pro players came to leave messages.

is basically a unified argument, and I hope to see Xu Ruoguang's wonderful performance.

However, in South Korea, LCK's behavior seems to have boosted his morale a bit and killed his own prestige.

So the LCK then added: We hope that our national team can achieve excellent results, and we have absolute confidence that we can win.

It's just the respect that an esports country should have for a legendary player, and that's it.

There is also a point that needs to be taken into account on the LCK side, the United States and Europe and the United States are completely free of pretend.

They also know that nine times out of ten this year they will be accompanied.

Especially in many regions of Europe.

The talented players from all over Europe make up the LEC, and many players are not of the same nationality at all, so what kind of strength can such a team have?

It's just to join in the fun.

The emphasis is on participation in the yes.

So in the face of Emporer, who officially announced his return, they had only one thought: blow it as much as they wanted!

Z: "I want everyone to know that this year's Olympics are really a race for runners-up, don't think too much about it. ”

The first to shoot was naturally Ah P from Croatia, and he didn't think he could win at all.

I can't win in G2, and it's even harder to win now when I represent my country.

As for his teammates, Ah P really didn't want to say anything.

I feel that the four clones are better than these national team teammates.

Ah P did not hide his admiration for Xu Ruoguang at all, and he was blowing wildly when he opened his mouth, worthy of his reputation as the world's No. 1 Guangguang.

For this, he naturally suffered some sieges.

But what is this to Ah P?

He's just telling the truth.

It is okay for the major forums to reach the top, but this time, the mainstream media also began to participate.

"In the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics, there is a unique team, it is the first time that my country has sent a team related to e-sports, and it is worth mentioning that Xu Ruoguang, the top player in the League of Legends team, has won five consecutive world championships."

The female anchor in a suit and leather shoes, with a serious face, spoke softly.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, and the news broadcast.

With the unremitting efforts of the Olympic Committee, the door to the mainstream has gradually opened.

The ten-year shadow of the disappearance of e-sports due to the Blue Speed incident has quietly dissipated at this moment.

"The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are about to begin, and let us extend our best wishes to these athletes."

The male anchor next to him nodded seriously, also with a serious face.

This period of time is not long, and it is only about ten seconds in all seriousness.

But for these ten seconds, Chinese e-sports people have been walking for 17 years.

In 2003, esports was listed as the 99th sport by the General Administration of Sports of China.

And then there are more than ten years that have grown to the point of despair.

The denial of the mainstream, the occurrence of accidents, and the rejection of the mainstream opinions of society have made all this far too late than it should have been.

However, it's good to come!

This is the most genuine idea of those who have witnessed the development of the domestic industry.

It's good to be here!

Mainstream social media has begun to send out all kinds of videos and graphics to educate viewers who don't know about esports.

Under the activation of the state machine, in the eyes of all practitioners, the concept of e-sports began to spread on a large scale for the first time.

At any time, the mainstream of society is people in their thirties, and this group of people has also been exposed to things related to esports when they were young.

Compared with ten years ago, public opinion has simply changed direction.

Because, more than ten years ago, young people who could not really grasp the right to speak have become the mainstream at this moment.

And with the country's shot, with the popularization of the concept of e-sports, there is one person who has completely entered the field of vision of countless people since then.

Xu Ruoguang!

In the eyes of the leaders above, Xu Ruoguang himself is a person with a great propaganda effect.

From his debut to fame.

This in itself is an inspirational story of rising from the grassroots.

The more hardships he experienced, the more he could reflect his hardships.

Moreover, over the years, the propaganda department has been trying to get closer to young people.

And Xu Ruoguang's excellent personal character and very eye-catching appearance are very powerful propaganda weapons.

So, the focus of propaganda was naturally placed on him.

"Fortunately, there is Xu Ruoguang!"

This is the first time that the staff who promoted the propaganda have felt heartfelt.

The quality of e-sports players is completely mixed, and many players themselves are Internet addicted teenagers, and it is simply not possible to use them to promote them.

However, Xu Ruoguang's reputation is terrible at home and abroad.

If there is no such a role model, it is impossible to publicize it.

On Friday, CCTV 10 science and education channel.

The documentary "People" began.

Many people quietly wait in front of the TV, which is a favorite program for many people.

And many people who have received the inside information are also nervously watching this side.

At the beginning of the show, there is a fast-moving traffic.

With the display of the construction of the big city under the high-speed lens, accompanied by the gradually rising morning sun, a soothing and calm male voice sounded:

"Times are changing with each passing day."

"In this era of rapid development, young people can choose a variety of lifestyles, show their own glory in the vigorous development of the motherland, and embark on a not so simple road."

"And today's story is the story of a young man who is not lucky."

The screen goes black, revealing a line of white lettering.

【World Champion Xu Ruoguang】

When I saw this line of words, the people who promoted e-sports into the Olympics couldn't help but cheer.

"It worked!"

Someone, with tears in his eyes.

Countless self-media have already noticed that this is big news when they saw the trailer yesterday.

But they really didn't expect that such a mainstream media would really start to come to an end!

[Chapter: The Past]

The picture lit up again, and it was late at night.

"We should be fine with visiting him like this today, right?"

The host's young lady followed EDG's manager Abu inside, and asked with some curiosity.

"We've already been informed."

Abu smiled, "Please." ”

As the camera deepened, the layout of the entire training room was revealed in front of the camera.

The perspective of the program team is very ingenious.

In order not to stimulate the nerves of some sensitive parents, most of them take side shots.

The main shot is placed on the player's face.

And what is revealed in front of the audience at this moment is Xu Ruoguang, who is serious and is playing Rank.

His excellent external conditions made some parents who were originally not interested stop.

Or, take a second look?

Good looks are sometimes a powerful weapon.

When Xu Ruoguang is quiet, he belongs to the kind of child who looks very well-behaved next door.

The soothing magnetic baritone sounded again:

Now, at the age of 20, Xu Ruoguang is training day in and day out, which lasts more than 14 hours a day.

"Just like traditional athletes, esports is not an industry that relies solely on talent to achieve results, but that doesn't mean that esports doesn't need talent, but rather pays more attention to it."

"According to statistics, the number of players of all kinds in the world has exceeded 100 million, but very few of them can embark on a career path."

In the camera, Xu Ruoguang sat quietly in front of the camera.

With a bright and relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, it is easy to arouse people's affection.

"What do you think about esports? Do you think this counts as a sport? ”

The host asked softly.

"In my opinion, esports is not a very good industry."

"Even, I don't want a lot of people to go down this path."

Xu Ruoguang pondered a little and gave a somewhat unexpected answer to the parents in front of the camera.

The crazy propaganda during this period is known to everyone who is online, and parents are also aware that the times are different, and the willingness to resist is not strong.

This time [the character] is obviously also part of the propaganda.

But as the protagonist of the propaganda, he said that he did not want many people to take this path.

Why?

"Why?"

The moderator's questions are similar to those of the parents.

"It's an industry with a very high threshold."

Xu Ruoguang spoke calmly,

"A lot of times, talent can't be compensated for by hard work, and it's hard to get a living in this industry."

"Just like traditional sports like table tennis, everyone may play a little bit of table tennis, but how many people can become table tennis players?"

Voiceover, the soothing male voice reappears.

"Compared to other industries, the e-sports elimination rate is as high as more than 99%, and there are very few people who can succeed."

"Many young people, within a week of coming to the training camp, cry and want to go home, and the high-intensity training of more than ten hours a day is not something that ordinary people can bear."

The camera cuts to a teenager crying on the table.

"I'm not fighting, I'm not fighting, I'm going home, I'm going home! I'm going to read hard! ”

Is it that hard?

Parents who didn't know anything about it were taken aback.

At this time, the voiceover began to introduce Xu Ruoguang.

"Xu Ruoguang, who is only 20 years old, is in his sixth year on the stage."

"Five years ago, fifteen-year-old Xu Ruoguang crossed the ocean just looking for an opportunity to become a professional player."

From then on, he had to resist tiredness and improve his abilities as much as possible late at night. Only in this way will he not be eliminated and will find a chance to play and become an official pro. ”

The screen turned, but it was the dean's grandmother who appeared on the screen.

She sat in her chair and smiled at the children playing in the distance.

"This is Xu Ruoguang's only relative now."

"She's the director of an orphanage."

Could it be ......

Some parents' eyes widened.

This also ...... It's miserable.

When I was a teenager, I had to go through such high-intensity training every day, not to mention that my life experience was still so ......

The rejection in my heart is getting smaller and smaller.

"Since childhood, this child has been very sensible."

"Now that he has grown up, we have received a lot of help from him here, and this child will find someone to send supplies every week, and he is really a very good child."

The dean did not hide his love and liking for Xu Ruoguang at all, and spoke softly.

"Do you think he's making the right choice now?"

The moderator asked duly.

"Where is the absolute right way? The children have their own plans, they can live very happily, and they will not regret it in the future, I am very happy, because this child has really suffered for half his life......"

The dean sighed.

The soothing voiceover sounded again:

"When Xu Ruoguang was eight years old, there was an accident and his parents died."

"In order to cure the disease, the family owed a large amount of debt, so he suddenly had a happy family, and he became a lonely person, and with the help of well-wishers, he lived with difficulty."

"For Xu Ruoguang, esports may not be the path he wants to take at first."

"However, there is only one way for him to go."

Parents have been completely silent.

This......

There's really no way.

With a kid like this, can you say he's an internet addicted teenager?

When both parents died at a young age, there was no money to go to school, and it was difficult to support themselves.

E-sports is just his effort to survive.

Even the most game-hating parents can't say what a better path is for this child.

He seems to have a lot of options, but in fact there are no options at all.

Parents are eager to see this child succeed.

Because it was so bitter, it had touched their soft hearts.

[Chapter: Present]

"In the e-sports industry, Xu Ruoguang has shown amazing talent."

In the picture, it was Xu Ruoguang, who was once young, when he lifted the S5 World Championship trophy with a bright smile.

Xu Ruoguang, who has made achievements, resolutely chose to return to China.

S6, the center of the K1 team's makeup photo, Xu Ruoguang smiled and waved gently.

"This team, in the end, won that year's championship and stood at the top of the world again. It also won the first world-class competition trophy for our country, defeating the strong South Korean team. ”

The high-spirited appearance of the young man made many old-fashioned people happy.

Inspirational stories, there is never a shortage of audiences.

"To this day, Xu Ruoguang has become one of the most successful players in the world, and with the vigorous development of esports, he has become an idol for countless young people, and people recognize his dedication and worship his indomitable ability."

"Fate tried to choke him by the throat, and with malice told him that he should sink into the abyss."

"The stubborn boy said to fate, you can't beat me!"

In this paragraph, the BGM sounded.

Impassioned, it makes people's hearts ripple.

"I haven't read many books."

Standing on the rooftop, looking at the fireworks below, Xu Ruoguang's side face shone in the morning sun, and his expression was quiet.

"After all, there is no condition, if I have the opportunity in the future, I want to go to school."

He said with a wry smile.

At this moment, the last vigilance of parents disappeared.

This is a motivated child.

The password is correct, and the parental fortifications are canceled!

"But I also have articles that I like."

"I love Gorky's The Petrel."

The young man looked at the city in front of him and groaned softly, his eyes shining with a burning light.

"Piles of dark clouds, like cyan flames, burning on the bottomless sea."

His voice is beautiful and has a different power.

"The sea seized the bolts of lightning and extinguished them in its own abyss." “

The shadows of these lightning bolts, like fiery snakes, swam in the sea and disappeared in a flash. ”

"—Tempest! The storm is coming! ”

"This is the brave petrel, flying proudly on the roaring sea, in the midst of lightning."

His voice grew louder and he stretched out his hand as if embracing the whole world.

With a hearty smile, he shouted out the most classic passage impassionedly.

"This is the cry of the prophet of victory: - Let the storm come harder!"

The light in the young man's eyes converged, turned around, looked at the camera, and smiled brightly.

The world kisses me with pain, and I return it with a song.

This is Xu Ruoguang's attitude towards life.

The chapter has entered the end.

[Chapter: Future]

In the quiet room, it suddenly lit up.

A slender hand, turned on the light.

Xu Ruoguang's hair is not regular, but it is more real.

He carefully dressed himself one by one.

Trousers, tops, coats.

With the sound of zipper pulling, Xu Ruoguang, who was wearing an Olympic athlete's uniform in the camera, nodded with satisfaction.

His figure faded into the light in the hallway.

A soothing baritone that becomes a deeper bass.

"Now, Xu Ruoguang is about to set foot on a new battlefield."

"This time, he represents China."

"In the past, the names of the teams in front of his ID have become CHN."

Xu Ruoguang doesn't know what the future holds, but he is fortunate to be born in this best era.

"No matter how great the ordeal is, it can never extinguish the yearning for hope of human beings, and as long as courage exists, everyone can be invincible."

"What shines in the midst of adversity is a hymn to human courage and hard work."

"THIS IS THE STORY OF CHN.XURUOGUANG."

Documentary, it's over.

This documentary is not long, and the overall duration is about the same as the previous period, only a short half an hour.

However, it shows the first half of Xu Ruoguang's life that grew up from adversity.

At the end of the show, there is a small easter egg,

People all over the world are sending their best wishes to the camera.

"Come on!"

"I'm going to win!"

“Emporer！！！ Come on!! ”

"Come on!!"

"Xu Ruoguang, come on!!"

There are young people, there are middle-aged people.

There are men, there are women.

They all had the same expectation and earnestly blessed them.

With the end of the documentary, many parents' expressions softened a lot.

"Do you know Xu Ruoguang? Is that the player you like? ”

They asked about their children.

Some of the children who couldn't figure out the situation nodded, and some shook their heads.

I don't understand why my father, who has never paid attention to this aspect, suddenly asked like this.

The fathers groaned and nodded approvingly.

"This kid, that's good."

"I have time to watch the documentaries released by CCTV and see how hard Xu Ruoguang works."

The faces of the children who heard this were like ghosts.

Is this the old-fashioned dad I knew?

Hell, how did he know about Brother Guang?

The response to this documentary was completely beyond the expectations of the Olympic Committee.

It's not that the effect is bad, it's that the effect is too good!

Because the theme is clear from beginning to end, it does not show much respect for e-sports, but emphasizes the difficulty of the profession, and the ingenuity does not arouse the disgust of parents.

Instead, their eyes were more focused on Xu Ruoguang himself.

And such a hard-working and inspirational young man, even the most old-fashioned parents, has almost no disgust for him.

On the contrary, it is very recognized.

Xu Ruoguang said that he also wanted to go to college, which was like opening the wealth code, and reflected the correct thinking vividly.

Naturally, parents have no idea of resisting.

It's a good boy who works hard, but it's a bit miserable.

This is what they all think together.

Compared with those messy traffic stars, parents prefer their children to like such idols.

Idols are people who are supposed to set an example for others and provide them with the courage to move forward.

The environment of public opinion has begun to change.

This is something that only Xu Ruoguang can do.

Because he is too self-disciplined and too inspirational.

For any other player, there is no such ups and downs in the first half of his life.

It is also impossible to be blamed for not having any bad habits.

Xu Ruoguang is the only one.

It is only his experience that can break the stereotype and allow people to really put aside their prejudices and witness the sport called eSports for the first time...

On the Internet, light fans have entered a complete carnival.

What is a national idol?

Which player am I pushing?

Wrong!

This is the contestant that my dad pushed!
