Daxue Road in Seoul, South Korea, away from the busy cultural and art street. emoon tea house, the training base of the world's "unknown" Korean professional e-sports team "tatazu Wings of Freedom".
The reason for being "unknown" is of course not because the team's level is not enough, but because the level of professional e-sports in South Korea is too high. Any professional player can be qualified to play in the main team of any country without any achievements. Therefore, Korean e-sports is a gold-lettered signboard, and there is no need to remember the names of so-and-so teams that are so numerous.
And this unknown teahouse tatazu team has a very special status among Korean professional teams. It is a school that "does not specialize" in training professional players!
At this time, in the elegant and antique tea room, the three coaches Cui Yonghao, Kim Hee-yong, and Park Dong-hoon were sipping tea while watching the live video of the European Union's No.
Although these three are coaches, they are actually only 25 or 6 years old. They are the shining stars in the Korean e-sports industry in the past. They were once the absolute kings in the e-sports field. Of course, the current level is also the same, but as a coach, he has faded out of the first-line competitive circle.
In South Korea, e-sports is a national sport and a project strongly supported by the state. The professional selection system for e-sports players is as complete as the professional football system. If you play well in the game, you will be a high-income star and an idol for teenagers and girls. It is completely different from the national conditions in China where treatment is needed to play the game well.
Precisely because of the extremely high remuneration of Korean professional players, the competition is also extremely fierce, and the threshold for selection is also extremely high. Its strictness is almost the same as that of the Chess Academy. And the Chess Academy. In everyone's mind, those who can be selected are all child prodigies with amazing computing power, right
That's right. South Korea's e-sports almost uses the model of chess academy to select players, so the calculation ability of Korean players is extremely amazing. For example, when playing a strategic battle game, as long as a Korean player glances at your base, he can calculate how many soldiers you can have at most in a few minutes!
In short, Korean players enter the industry at the age of 15-18, peak at the age of 20-22, and after the age of 22, they are no longer in various states and are ready to retire. And still maintain the state. At the same time, those who are socially versatile usually become coaches after the age of 24.
Now, the three coaches watched the video of Big V with great interest and cheered from time to time. The level of these three people can only be described as "outside the realm" in the Korean e-sports industry. They are known as the "Three Uniques". Looking at the current players in the world's e-sports world, none of them are eye-catching, except for the big V. The blue eyes are added, not because of the skills of the big V, but because of the evergreen heart of the big V.
That's right, for a super master, the twilight of a hero is a very sad thing. They want to learn the secret of eternal vitality from the big V. certainly. They also know that some things can never be learned, not so much learning. It's more like enjoying it with a casual appreciation mood. The feeling of watching big v battles is completely different from watching those little kids playing games.
Finally, in the video on the TV wall, Big V once again cleverly and naturally used the NPC to win the battle. In the video, the players of the Dark Alliance cheered.
Cui Yonghao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's really a natural and steady rock, I really want to play against him."
Cui Yonghao, game id, Stone Buddha. This was his nickname when he was a first-line professional player. It means that his psychological quality, face and expression are as stable and unmoving as a stone Buddha. Back then, he was a serious player, but after becoming a coach, he always laughed and often regarded himself as Maitreya.
Jin Xiyong said with a smile: "He is not old, we are indeed getting old."
Jin Xiyong, game id, curator Kim, the nickname he got when he was a coach. Director Kim is also a well-known Korean film and television comedian. The great thing about Jin Xiyong is that he uses all kinds of incredible funny methods to make the students laugh and cry. His level is so high and his tactics are so wonderful that people can't look directly at them.
Park Dongxun shook his head: "No, he is also a semi-amateur player now, just like us, we can meet him on the battlefield of the national war."
Park Dong-hoon, game id, gentian. This is also his nickname, which means that he has amazing courage, and he dares to use many seemingly inconceivable military adventures. If they didn't know that it was him who was playing, anyone would think it was a layman messing around. In fact, the only difference between him and a rookie is that all his actions are calculated by his computer-like brain.
When talking about the national war, Cui Yonghao frowned: "Although our country is not afraid of any opponent in the game, the national war is a test of the country's overall strength, especially China and Japan. We must not lose to them."
Jin Xiyong smiled faintly: "Although the Chinese players are amateurish, in the national war some time ago, they showed an amazing ability to organize large-scale players, which is worthy of attention."
Park Dongxun laughed: "Since our national team has chosen the elves as the main attack, we are already prepared to play more with less, and let them worry about it. I think the Japanese are very active during this period of time." , there is a big move."
Jin Xiyong said with a smile: "If the Japanese goal is to eliminate the NPCs of the light camp, then I really want to express my admiration for their long-term strategy."
Cui Yonghao shook his head: "The Japanese and the Americans cooperate most closely, and the possibility of the Japanese obtaining the strategy through internal means cannot be ruled out."
At this moment, the door of the tea room was knocked hurriedly, and the excited shout of "teacher, teacher" came from outside the door.
Jin Xiyong sighed: "It's really not polite at all, come in!"
clang! The door opened immediately, and three teenagers and girls aged 14 and 15 came in: "Teacher, we are very polite! We knocked on the door."
Hong Xiuying, Zhao Shizhe, Li Yinzhu, the proud close disciples of the three coaches, a child prodigy with an IQ of over 160, and the rising star of Korean e-sports. Especially the female disciple Li Eun-joo, who has a sweet appearance, is a popular candidate for South Korea's next e-sports queen who is loved by thousands of people. However, just because the three of them were too glamorous as soon as they debuted, which is not conducive to the growth of young players' psyche, the three coaches deliberately hid them and trained them strictly.
Cui Yonghao's face was serious: "Xiuying, what's the matter?"
A teenager excitedly said: "Teacher, the latest news from the American Hero Headquarters is that the first global hero free pk competition will be held in a week. The competition will be registered in the game, and we can also participate!"
The three coaches couldn't help but startled.
Cui Yonghao was surprised: "The competition will be held in a week? Without prior notice? Isn't this too hasty?"
Park Dongxun sighed: "It must be a temporary decision to use the game prize money to attract more players to join for the promotion of the server opening in Southeast Asia and South America in 20 days."
Jin Xiyong sighed: "Yeah, this game is too commercially charged." Then he laughed: "But, I like it!"
Park Dong-hoon asked a teenager: "Se-cheol, what are the rules of the game?"
The young man said excitedly: "Of course it's an indiscriminate free game. The rules are that there are no rules. If someone at level 20 meets someone at level 30, he's unlucky!"
Another boy laughed and said, "It's exciting to kill a level 20 player!"
The three coaches nodded,
Jin Xiyong waved his hand: "Understood, you should step up your leveling training."
The girl smiled and said, "Teacher, aren't you going to place some expectations on us?"
Jin Xiyong coughed dryly: "Expectation? I hope that when you are defeated by a foreign master, you will never cry and stain your helmet with snot."
The three teenagers and girls laughed loudly: "Even if the teacher is not careful, he will lose to us. Don't even think about foreign experts. Let's show the teacher the first one! Wahahaha!" Amidst the triumphant laughter , the three jumped out happily.
Jin Xiyong smiled wryly and shook his head, got up and closed the door they forgot to close: "There is really nothing we can do about them!"
Cui Yonghao sighed: "I hope they can lose a game! Sometimes failure can learn more than victory."
Park Dong-hoon sighed: "When we first debuted, there was still pressure from the big V. I have to say that the necessary suppression is conducive to the growth of rookies, but for them, losing to the seniors will only be taken for granted by them, and it will not affect their state of mind. With any improvement, I'm desperate for them to lose to their peers."
Cui Yonghao sighed: "It's a pity that there are no people who can beat them among their peers."
Jin Xiyong smiled bitterly: "Then it's okay to lose to amateur players!"
The other two couldn't laugh or cry: "Amateur players? How is it possible—"
Suddenly, the three of them were shocked!
Cui Yonghao's face jumped: "Maybe there is really an amateur player who is particularly strong?"
Jin Xiyong's eyelids twitched: "If it's a free pk match with no rules, I might not be sure to win him?"
Park Dongxun said in a deep voice: "We have too little information about him, even the Chinese don't know much about his details."
Cui Yonghao chuckled: "I want to participate too!"
The other two laughed and said, "Let's go together!" (To be continued...)
