Chapter 18: I want to be professional

Views:

"Dear McGrath:

Hello. I am a fan from China, and I wrote this letter with the help of a translator, please forgive my wrong grammar and words.

Four years ago, I became your fan. At that time, I was just fourteen years old. I knew your experience from some reports, and I started to communicate with you briefly.

Maybe you don't remember, but that's okay.

Three years ago, I followed your footsteps and became a ST professional player, playing domestic competitions in our country's team. Every time I beat my opponent, I always think, if one day I am qualified to enter the international competition, I must face you and become your opponent.

But two years ago, I retired.

I questioned my opponent at the end of the game because I suspected dishonorable cheating, but I was a loser and no one believed me. At that time, I naively thought that as long as I could defeat the opponent again and raise this question with a winning attitude, someone would choose to believe me.

However, I'm sorry, I didn't have a chance to beat him, and I couldn't beat myself.

I was so cowardly and cowardly that I chose to retire amidst all the ridicule that questioned my character.

The voices of those spectators are not just because they don't believe that there will be cheating in offline games, but also because I lost.

Losers have no right to speak, this is the only truth imprinted in my heart by e-sports.

For two full years, I did not recover from the failure, but blocked all news and never contacted you again.

Yesterday, I just saw your announcement that BME quit ST a year ago, and I just learned about what happened in the ST professional circle.

I didn't pay attention to whether the opponent really cheated or was suspended, because I wanted to defeat myself again and face the past.

Today, as I write this letter, the Overwatch World Cup is over.

The world of esports has changed so much, you are still my idol.

Now I want to follow in your footsteps and become an OW professional player.

If there is a chance to meet you on the field, can you give me your autograph

wish all the best.

Yours, Daylight. "

Shadowblade is not quite right today.

At least, Kang Ming could clearly feel that when he was speaking in the live broadcast room, he spoke very little, and even picked up McCree.

CLD: I've never seen your McCree.

"Ah." Seeing this barrage, Yun Yun seemed to wake up suddenly, and said, "Maybe I'll get used to watching me play McCree in the future."

Not just McCree, but Widowmaker, Ana, Soldier 76, Tracer.

All the heroes that McGrath is good at, Yun Yun wants to train them to the extreme.

He killed the shooting range robots at will, and didn't go to the Asian server for a few days, which made his hands feel a little jerky. There are more things to do in Overwatch as a professional than he imagined. This is not a battlefield for one person.

CLD: Stop playing Hanzo

Yun Yun was silent for two seconds and said, "It's for fun. But it may not be necessary for playing professionally."

After all, in the domestic team system, no one believes in Hanzo's tactics. Even if all kinds of miracles are created around this hero abroad, it is still not the mainstream in the national server. Even if it is amazing who picks up Hanzo, these professional players who use Hanzo are also absorbed into the professional team because they are good at other heroes.

The live broadcast room was quiet for a few seconds, and suddenly a barrage exploded:

"Why do you want to be a professional?" "What the hell is a 00 career?" "Yingying, won't you broadcast live in the future?"

Yun Yun didn't expect that the audience would catch the key point when he mentioned it casually, and they would chase after him.

He just had a plan in his mind about playing professionally, and he didn't even think about which team to go to or what kind of resume to submit.

Yun Yun realized that he was very fragile. When he wrote an email to McGrath yesterday, he even edited and changed the wording, while weeping indistinctly, like a wronged child complaining to an adult.

It is very worrying to play a job with this kind of personality.

After Yun Yun scorned himself severely, Kaimai said lightly, "Being professional doesn't mean I won't broadcast live. I have a contract with Station B. Before the contract expires, I won't break the contract."

He paused and said, "Maybe there may be adjustments during the recent broadcast. I still want to participate in the trial training of the professional team. I will inform everyone in the group when the time comes."

Kang Ming, who originally just wanted to watch the live broadcast quietly and take a rest, jumped up from the bed and quickly turned on the computer.

But it's only been a week since I haven't been online, why is Shadow Blade going to play professionally all of a sudden!

Gaming career! In Kang Ming's mind, this is completely synonymous with game coolies and burning youth. Even thinking about the cheerful appearance of Laur's group of mentally handicapped youths, he feels that there is a possibility of lowering the status of IQ. He can't figure out what Shadow Blade is doing.

When he boarded Overwatch, Shadow Blade's account was still in the training range for daily gun practice.

"Are you going to play professionally?" Shimada Genji's first sentence when he joined the team was straight to the point.

Yun Yun faced his question directly and said: "I think I am still very good, and I should contribute to the cause of Overwatch in China."

Genji Shimada smiled heartily: "Because you saw the Chinese team lose in the quarterfinals?"

Yun Yun clicked on the competitive ranking as usual, and said: "I didn't look down on the Chinese team, they are very good, so I want to see how far I can go if I play professionally."

This is his sincere words. Yun Yun has not been in contact with systematic training for two years, and even has a limited understanding of the basic routines of Overwatch. Has excellent performance.

The styles of Overwatch and Secret Task are completely different. ST is completely a battlefield where personal strength is crushed, but OW, even the invincible McGrath, still cannot win against the perfectly coordinated Korean team.

If other FPS games emphasize individual strength, then Overwatch emphasizes teamwork. With the same coordination, teams with outstanding personal strength can win, and with the same personal strength, teams with outstanding cooperation can also win.

Victory is not just a pattern anymore, it has become diverse and full of drama, and no one can guarantee that they will have the last laugh 100%.

Yun Yun thought, this is also the reason why McGrath is addicted to OW and cannot extricate himself. Fighting with unpredictable results is his favorite challenge.

Genji Shimada quietly joined the ranking match to choose his natal hero Genji.

And Yun Yun picked up McCree this time.

This is not the first time he took McCree on the national server, but it was the first time he ignored the crying barrage and gave up Hanzo cruelly during the live broadcast.

His heart is very soft. In the past, he always felt that the audience gave up their own game time to support him, so they should play some heroes they like, so as not to live up to expectations.

But now, if he wants to stand up again and qualify to enter the team, he must use McRae to achieve results.

Because most teams only trust the C players who are good at McCree, Genji, Reaper, Pharah, and Soldier 76, and among these heroes favored by the club, only McCree can confidently play in Yun Yun.

First of all, become a McRae who can easily swim in the passerby game of the national server, and then talk about career.

He is already ranked 113th in the top 500 of Overwatch Season 2, and this ranking is entirely Hanzo's achievement.

"Genji." Shadow Blade's voice came from the team channel, "I want to use McCree to top 50 tonight."

Shadow Blade's attitude is very serious, and it can be heard from the fact that he didn't call out "brother" with a smile. Kang Ming only needs to glance at the barrage to see the scene of crying and acting cute.

Kang Ming knew that Shadow Blade cherished those few viewers, even though in his opinion, some people were obsessed with Hanzo's world, no matter what the situation was, they liked to watch Hanzo fight on the battlefield.

This is a kind of mentality that likes unrecognized heroes to face taunters in the arena, and it undoubtedly brings a lot of pressure to Shadow Blade. Sometimes when the situation is against the wind, you can find that Shadow Blade will risk killing the opponent with all his strength. Shadow Blade wanted to win, he wanted to make those voices who questioned Hanzo disappear, but he had to face the mistakes of various teammates in coordination, and handed over the victory to others.

Kang Ming still likes to enjoy the game as a leisure mentality, but he still turned on the microphone and said, "Okay, no problem, Genji's thigh will take you flying."

This is a rather difficult task, at least for Kang Ming.

He only ranked 80th on the tricycles of Lao Zhou and Xingze, and the teams he encountered were either professional teams or cheaters.

The competition for the top 50 in the national server is quite fierce, and it is not just one who has the ability to win, what is more needed is luck.

It's all luck to line up with a group of teammates who know how to communicate and cooperate, to line up with a group of opponents who are not cheaters or professional players, and there are no factors that lead to team discord such as dropped calls, quarrels, and dumping during the game.

Even though Kang Ming was full of pessimistic doubts in his heart, his words were full of confidence, "When you go out later, lie down on the delivery target, and I will take you to win."

"It's you who should lie down." Shadow Blade smiled, picked up McCree and walked out of the rebirth room.

The bridge hole in Eichenwalde is the favorite defensive position of the defender. As long as this place is firmly occupied, the attacker who can only pass through this road will have nothing to do.

Of course, this is the general case.

Kang Ming's Genji went out from the window on the far right, walked directly to the edge of the cliff, jumped off the cliff and climbed the wall and received a shadow attack, easily bypassing the front of the defender and reaching the back of the defender. He squatted secretly and lowered his footsteps The sound, from the first line of defense easily rushed into the target point.

"They come in as soon as they return to defense..." Before he could finish his words, the enemy dropped a McCree.

Killer: Shadow Blade.

In less than 20 seconds of the start, Yun Yun killed the first opponent, the red framed McCree, who exposed his body from behind Reinhardt, trying to attack Zenyatta hiding in the corner. However, between two shots, it was enough for Yun Yun to lock him perfectly.

Yun Yun's desire to be in the top 50 in one night is not just a dream. He has been mixed between the national server and the Asian server for a long time, and understands the most common problems in the passerby game.

Mistakes in positioning, risky pursuits, promiscuity with big moves, these things that often happen, even in the top 500 duels, are not uncommon.

As long as he can take the lead in reducing the opponent's staff and maintain the situation of playing more and playing less, it is not difficult to win, not to mention that there is no Hanzo in the team.

In a competition where you can win with a steady mind, Hanzo can easily make most people explode in place just by appearing in the team.

Yun Yun rolled over to avoid Reinhardt's charge, turned around and aimed at the enemy hitting the wall, connected a flash bomb to stabilize the moment Reinhardt swung the hammer to attack, aimed two guns at the head, and easily killed him.

"The sledgehammer fell." He walked towards the target point, and the red enemies in the distance were just living targets.
