Create a great era of e-sports

"ah??!"

Zhang Yiming's mouth opened wide, with surprise written on his face.

He thought that the Ladder Invitational Tournament was just a simple competition, but he didn't expect that Yang Qiu had arranged everything and repackaged it from head to toe.

By then, what the outside world will see will definitely be the explosive news of the Ladder Invitational Tournament. DOTA is very popular, and the popularity of related events is high.

As soon as the word gets out.

All major clubs, players, and owners who are interested in entering professional DOTA will immediately make up their minds, and then professional teams will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and companies will then form leagues, which will be completely stable.

"Is it necessary? What if someone finds out that it was fake?"

Zhang Yiming couldn't help but ask.

"Just discover it if you find it."

Yang Qiu shrugged and smiled slightly: "I didn't originally want to hide it from everyone. It was enough to hide it from some people. The purpose was to give the outside world the illusion that DOTA events are very popular. Even a small competition is very popular. "

"As long as this general trend is established, the falsehood will become true."

"And although other things are fake, the game is not fake. Not all of the four teams are individual players. There are people who are more confident than us."

Yang Qiu smiled very meaningfully.

He saw several old acquaintances on the list of contestants this time, and there were shadows of established domestic clubs behind several newcomers.

"Lao Zhang, you don't need to understand the promotional stuff. Just be responsible for the technology. Don't make any mistakes. Leave the rest to me."

LGD club.

Looking at the five young guys standing in front of him, Deng Junhua rubbed his temples: "09, have you really thought about it?"

The regular season of the GAG ​​Spring Split is in full swing. LGD replaced new players in the middle and bottom of the game for two consecutive games. The results were extremely impressive. The coaching staff came to put forward suggestions to increase the playing time of the new players. He was worried about how to compete with 09 and ZSMJ. After discussing, the two of them gave him a heavy blow first.

"I have thought about it." Wu Sheng nodded and said solemnly: "I have also seen the performance of GODV and IMP in recent games. They have completely established a foothold in the league and are not falling behind at all when facing other teams. Even Better than both of us in a way.”

"In this case, I voluntarily gave up my starting position to the newcomer."

ZSMJ said next to him: "Me too."

"But after all, DOTA has just launched its server, and it is indeed booming now. I can't say what will happen in the future. Do you two really want to give up the team's starting lineup?" Deng Junhua couldn't help but conspired: "Are you dissatisfied with the club? Or other factors?”

As they get older, both 09 and ZSMJ's competitive levels have declined.

The biggest problem is that in the early laning phase, small mistakes often occur, and they even lose a few games because of this. Many fans are complaining about this and hope that the club will quickly recruit new players.

GODV and IMP also appeared accordingly.

After the two newcomers came on the scene, LGD's decline immediately stopped.

Under this situation, fans naturally hope to continue to keep the newcomer in the starting lineup. The coaching staff also privately raised several opinions with Deng Junhua, but he suppressed them all.

"Compared to the relationship between players and bosses, we are both partners and friends." Deng Junhua said sincerely: "09, don't pay attention to what you say online. I have always believed in you. There is no need to play DOTA."

"Don't worry, boss, it's not what you think." Wu Sheng waved his hand and said sincerely: "I can clearly feel that my competitive status has been declining. If I continue to play, I will definitely get worse and worse. When LGD was established, I have also put a lot of effort into it, so how can I bear to watch the team's performance deteriorate?"

"I want to play but I don't want to hold the team back. Since the newcomers can carry the weight, it's better to quit and give up the opportunity."

"Right?"

ZSMJ next to him nodded in agreement: "Yes, the newcomers are getting stronger and stronger. It's time for the old people to give way. Sooner or later we have to retire. Instead of being criticized for retiring, we should take the initiative."

ZSMJ had a wry smile on his face.

It's not like he hasn't seen the comments online, but what can he say?

The decline in status is a fact visible to the naked eye and cannot be argued.

Instead of being trolled in GAG until you retire, it's better to go to DOTA.

Anyway, what DOTA needs more is not operation. As long as DOTA remains unchanged, he feels that he can play for at least two more years.

"This is what we both think. I hope you can understand." 09 continued: "And DOTA is getting more and more popular. It will definitely be a popular event in e-sports in the future. I went to DOTA after careful consideration. , maybe in the DOTA project, I can lead the club to continue to create new myths?"

09 laughed and acted very free and easy.

Looking at him, Deng Junhua couldn't see any sign of unwillingness or oppression. He wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

In the silence, he remembered the time when he met 09 in the Internet cafe, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: "How can it be so easy to create a myth? LGD has been through a lot of hardships along the way?"

"No matter how difficult it is, you should always give it a try."

09 waved his hand, smiled chicly, and looked at the carefully selected team members behind him.

Except for ZSMJ, the remaining three people in the team are all super talents at the top of the national server ladder. They are all in their teens, which is the age when they are in the best competitive condition.

He is confident that he can win a championship for the club!

"Believe me!"

End of April.
