"On October 11th, I watched a golden competition of "Star Emperor" in Jiangning......

"It's no exaggeration to say that this is the best esports tournament I've ever watched in 2023, and it's also the most memorable one."

"Star Emperor, an unpopular fighting game with an average of only 200,000 online, the players participating in the competition are not star players."

"But the players are unknown and the game is unpopular, which does not mean that the game is boring! On the contrary, it was more exciting than I could ...... expect."

"The game is not famous, the players themselves are not famous, but the team they belong to has a great background!"

"Intel, AMD, Denial Baojia, Darenshuo, Huazi, Sansang, Logitech, Herman Miller, Nvidia, Microsoft, ......"

"You think I'm reading a list of Fortune 500 companies? Wrong! I read the official sponsors of the Golden Glory League, and the names of the participating teams! ”

"To be honest, when I learned that a professional league of an unpopular niche game has a sponsor lineup that is even more luxurious than the LPL, my reaction was as unbelievable as you in front of the screen!"

"But when I watched the six races on the first day of the "Golden Age Jiangning Station", I seemed to understand."

"This is indeed as it should be!"

"It's like 90% of the audience hasn't watched Formula 1, but Formula 1 can be called the world's three major sporting events along with the Olympics and the World Cup."

"The Golden Glory League of "Star Emperor" can be said to be a combination of technology, teamwork, and player operation, a perfect visual feast!"

"The major first- and second-tier PC hardware manufacturers and well-known enterprises have taken out their housekeeping skills to assemble a near-perfect game console, and through the blessing of various black technologies, they have fought bloodily in the game "Star Emperor......"

"Some people might say, oops! Isn't it just to assemble a computer on the spot and then play games, how can you say so exaggerated? The bloody battle is coming! ”

"I know you don't believe me, so please don't blink and watch every clip carefully......"

Smoke rose from one host after another, and the most exaggerated one even burst into flames, burning on the spot.

Bloggers are very good at editing.

First, use a Vlog-form video to briefly introduce the situation of the "Star Emperor" Golden Glory League, and then directly release the most exciting clips of the game.

There are hosts that smoke, there are hosts that spontaneously combust, and there are hosts that overload and black screens......

There are players who look at the computer with a black screen and cry, engineers who rush to the field with fire extinguishers, blonde foreigners who take off their shirts to celebrate wildly after seeing their team win, and screenshots of AMD's stock price......

"The competition in Jiangning lasted for two days, and in these two days, I saw NVIDIA's mysterious new 50 series cards that have not yet been released, as well as Intel's hidden lab-level independent graphics cards, and AMD's CPU and GPU synergy."

"It was not easy for AMD to win, the 1-2 start was not smooth, and there was a scene where the players and engineers quarreled in public, and the general manager of AMD Huaguo persuaded the fight......"

"But they eventually overcame the odds, and in the all-important fourth round, the console was already in smoke, but they still held out until the end."

"With the advantage that the CPU and GPU are all its own products, the AMD team overcame difficulties and finally won the championship of this Jiangning station with a score of 9-2 and 27 points."

“AMD，YES！”

In the video, there is a touching scene of AMD points reversal and beating people and finally winning the championship of Jiangning Station, the players and engineers hugging each other tightly, and thousands of spectators chanting AMDYES at the scene.

"It's so burning......

Xiao Lu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the end of this video.

"It's burning that AMD won the championship."

Chen Ba also swiped this video, and commented with a smile: "AMD's stock price rose the next day, and Su Ma also announced that she would release a champion commemorative version 7900." ”

A Jiangning champion is so excited, I can't imagine what AMD will do if it wins the 23-24 championship in one fell swoop?

Lao Huang must not be angry to death?

Thinking of this, Chen Ba couldn't help but want to laugh. At the beginning, he invited Lao Huang to come off the field and form his own team to participate in the competition like AMD.

But Lao Huang didn't seem to look down on gamers, so he only agreed to sponsor and didn't go out to form a team in person.

Now regret it!

After seeing AMD win the championship in Jiangning, Intel ranked third, and all friends were in the limelight, Lao Huang suddenly ran over and asked for a league seat.

It's still not enough to just beat Renshuo, refuse Baojia, and miserable Hong, they are really wasteful, and they are not Intel and AMD's opponents at all.

Whether it was for the sake of face or for the stock price, anyway, Lao Huang once again attached importance to the group of gamers he despised and decided to end up in person.

Of course, there is another reason why Lao Huang personally ended, that is, the younger brother is not strong.

Obviously, the technology adopted by the 50 series was given, but it was still the AMD hammer.

That's all, Intel, which is engaged in nuclear graphics, also stepped on a N card, and even took advantage of this game to prove that their independent graphics technology is not bad in disguise.

Lao Huang couldn't bear it.

Although he looks down on gamers, the company's main business is still developing in AI computing, but the game business can also make money.

Who thinks they make less money?

Brother Duxian personally went down, and Lao Huang even posted a tweet to book the champion of Zhonghai Station in advance.

"We will bring unparalleled new technology to the GAL (Golden Age League) Zhonghai station, and the next champion will definitely belong to NVIDIA!"

Wow!

The eldest brother spoke really hard, and he was about to book the championship of the second leg as soon as he entered.

Regarding Lao Huang's domineering statement, the audience of GAL had their own opinions.

Starry Sky Emperor!

One was colonized by a graphics card bar on the day it was founded, and at first it was to discuss the game content of "Star Emperor", and later it became an e-sports-related post bar.

In this post bar, everyone is also discussing Lao Huang's personal exit and arrogant speech, as well as the just-concluded Jiangning Station competition.

"One thing to say, Lao Huang is late to enter now, right? One less Jiangning station points, the annual championship is a bit hanging! ”

"The AMD championship must be stable, do you understand the gold content of the first championship?"

"A card filial son started again, your father A is so good, why did you lose to Intel? Laugh to death! ”

"Don't buckle your hat, Intel's independent graphics card really works? Ten moves will smoke goods, but anyone who can understand the game will not use Intel to touch AMD......"

"If you lose, you lose, don't admit it! If you ask me what Intel champion, then all I can tell you is a raging champion! ”

The post bar is very lively.

When Chen Ba first swiped the popular post of "Starry Sky Emperor", he was still a little curious about what this bar was talking about.

As a result, click in and take a look, okay!

The atmosphere of discussing the game is the same as that of the anti-bar, and the fans of various teams, A and N cards, as well as the-stirring stick of Intel, are arguing here.

AMD won the championship in Jiangning, although it was won by hard power, but losing to Intel was too topical.

"Intel is not weak."

Xiao Lu came over and said: "Although everyone thinks that the hardware is greater than the player, the player's personal strength is also crucial. ”

"Indeed!"

Chen Ba nodded.

In the GAL competition, although the main attraction is the competition of the technical background of each team, the strength of the players is also a point that cannot be ignored.

Intel's ability to enter the top three in Jiangning Station depends not only on technical strength, but also on the personal strength of Xu Xiaofei.

"During the transfer period, Xu Xiaofei will definitely be robbed by various teams! Intel can't keep him unless he bleeds......"

"We still have a transfer period?"

Xiao Lu's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity.

"Yes!"

Chen Ba glanced at him and explained: "GAL is a serious professional league, and players must have a transfer mechanism. ”

GAL players, especially talented teenagers like Xu Xiaofei, will inevitably be very popular as the GAL league becomes more and more popular.

It belongs to Intel now, but it's hard to say which team it will play for in the future......

Anyway, as far as Chen Ba knew, after the Jiangning competition, many teams ran to contact Xu Xiaofei in private, trying to dig into Intel's corner.

Thanks to Chen Ba to stop it in time.

There were no rules for transfers, and I didn't think it would happen. When Xu Xiaofei was poached, he added the transfer rules.

In the new rules, the transfer period is from May to July each summer, during which players and teams can list, transfer, and register.

No contact is allowed at other times.

This is also to maintain a good league environment, otherwise there are no transfer-related restrictions and regulations, each club you dig my corner and I dig your corner, can the league still run it?

"By the way, Xu Xiaofei signed an ordinary contract with Intel, and there are no liquidated damages and contract years."

Chen Ba shook his head and said, "That's why I said that Intel will most likely not be able to keep him." ”

Annual salary of millions?

In a few months, Xu Xiaofei may have an annual salary of 10 million! After all, if GAL is benchmarked against F1 events, he is very likely to become GAL's Schumacher.

In LOL and football, that's the next Faker and Messi.

Although he is currently lacking in accolades, is it possible that the league will only host its first tour event? As long as he maintains his current form, the champion will surely get a soft hand?

……

The new GAL league is very popular!

Even many passers-by who don't play the game "Star King" are attracted by the atmosphere of the game and start watching the event live.

This is a good sign!

Although the GAL league is destined to be as popular as the LOL professional league, it is impossible to have so many viewers.

But the pressure is too high for this event.

Just the list of Fortune 500 sponsors, it's scary to read out! Not to mention, various PC hardware manufacturers are also working hard to promote the GAL League.

Graphics cards, CPUs, memory modules, solid-state drives, monitors, and even mice and keyboards all have new GAL co-branded products.

This leads directly to ......

At present, there is a special "GAL series" of computer accessories. This series is generally the trump card product of various manufacturers, as long as there is no shortage of money, it is not wrong to buy a set of GAL hardware.

In the past, everyone admired the eyes of the losers who beat people, thinking that that was faith!

Now, faith has become GAL.

Although it doesn't have cool RGB lighting and GAL hardware is stupid, it is recognized as a Xeon accessory for all digital enthusiasts.

Of course!

The Eye of the Loser is also okay, and after realizing that the brand influence of the Eye of the Loser has declined, he immediately decided to add the Eye of the Loser to the hardware in the subsequent GAL League.

At this moment, the eye of the loser stopped the decline, and the brand series was linked to the GAL league.

"It's so much of a belief for so many years, and the eyes of the loser don't collapse so easily."

Chen Ba shook his head and said: "Think about it from another angle, if the beating master can make a name for himself in the GAL League, or even win an annual championship, the aura of the eye of the loser will be even more dazzling." ”

But it's hard.

With the personal departure of NVIDIA, the pattern of the big three of the GAL league was officially formed. AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel are three teams with a faulty lead in strength.

It's a bit like the three teams of Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull in Formula 1, all of which are far ahead in terms of valuation and influence.

If nothing else.

The GAL23-24 championship will also appear among AMD, Nvidia and Intel.

The audience and fans are more optimistic about AMD, after all, they just won the championship of Jiangning Station, and the momentum is strong with 27 points.

But Chen Ba felt that although Nvidia entered late and lost one point from Jiangning Station, there is a high probability that it will still suppress all disobedience!

"Why?"

Yang Dong is curious, is Nvidia so powerful? Why didn't he see it?

"First, "Star Emperor" is a game that eats graphics processing after all, and NVIDIA is the big brother of the only show, so there is no need to say much about this."

Chen Ba raised his finger and said: "Second, NVIDIA's AI technology, combined with the chicken blood optimization of "Star Emperor", will have a miraculous effect. ”

He's already tried.

Lao Huang not only gave Tianba Studio a desktop-level graphics processor, but also a few AI chips.

Chen Ba has experimented, and NVIDIA's AI chip is of great help to the system.

Used in the game "Star Emperor", chicken blood optimization is not so easy to go wrong. Used in the game "Grace Continent", NPCs spawn faster and logical behavior is more intelligent......

Chicken blood optimization or small increase.

NVIDIA's AI chips, including domestic AI chips, are used in the game "Divine Grace Continent", which is the real sense of "extreme sublimation"!

Even he had a conjecture.

If you use the computing power standard of training AI large models, the NPCs running "Divine Grace Continent" are automatically generated......

"NPCs can talk!"

Chen Ba said with confidence: "There is no doubt that under the premise of sufficient computing power, "Divine Grace Continent" will set off another earthquake in the animation industry. ”

This time, maybe even voice actors and editors won't be needed.

All it takes is a screenwriter and a director to tell the NPC the key words they need in the form of ChatGPT-like dialogue, and they can perform and read the lines according to the instructions of the "director".

Individual users, limited by computing power, will definitely not be able to do this.

But enterprise users, especially large enterprises that are willing to spend money, can definitely do this with advanced AI chips and the underlying core of "Divine Grace Continent".
