Although in IGN and gamespot's player evaluation, the evaluation of League of Legends is not high. Compared with the high score of 9.5 given by the official player, the player's public evaluation also gave a high score of 9.0, which is for the general game. , this score is actually a very high score.

Usually most of the cases where IGN and GameSpot have already given high scores, there are many games with very low ratings appearing in the comment area of ​​the player's own votes. For example, the official rating is 9 points, but among the players In his eyes, this score is obviously high, and he will even get a failing score in the end.

However, compared to the official scores of IGN and GameSpot, this kind of score controlled by player votes is easy to be manipulated by manufacturers or hostile manufacturers.

Therefore, players can often see that some games have been given a very high score by the official, but they can't even get the most basic passing score in the player evaluation area.

Or it is obvious that IGN and GameSpot media have given very low evaluations, but in the public evaluation system, they have given very high scores.

It is actually very difficult for a game to temporarily get a high score of 9.0 in public reviews. Of course, this score cannot be maintained forever. Through some malicious ideas, for example, the direct competitor S2 may buy tickets. It's also possible to lower the rating of League of Legends.

And even if S2 didn't do this officially, the third-party publicity outsourcing company entrusted by them might also do it.

At the end of July, in the TM club in North America, Best sat in front of the computer, manipulating the heroes in the game to flatten the opponent's base.

HON has just been launched not long ago. Not long ago, the highest concurrent online game in North America just exceeded 700,000. It is also the game that the club announced to transform.

And he has been practicing for almost a month, more than 10 hours of game time every day, coupled with the talent of professional players, let him enter the top 200 in the leaderboard. In fact, although it is a game leaderboard, this At least two-thirds of this leaderboard are professional players, and most of them are transformed from DOTA.

They have to admit one thing, even though DOTA is still updating the version and bringing some interesting things, but as a professional player, playing DOTA games is obviously not enough to support him.

On the one hand, the popularity of DOTA is not as high as that of HON, and the prize money is not satisfactory.

As a professional player, the time to be able to play professionally is not as much as one thinks. Most professional players will retire around the age of 25-28, and professional players who can exceed the age of 30 are almost rare.

If you can't make enough money during your career, or get some major reputation, and then pave the way for your live broadcast after retiring, then you can only serve as a coach, or an analyst, to explain this kind of work.

"Best, don't train yet, come here."

Best, who had just finished playing a set of HON, stood up and stretched, got a glass of water from the side, and then sat back to practice. Best was stopped by the walking coach.

Besides him, the other four team members also came to the meeting room.

"As for the club's situation, everyone should know a little bit about it. The club held a meeting the day before yesterday, and the upper management decided to cancel the DOTA department." The coach said to the five players including Best.

They didn't panic too much, Best and the others basically knew, otherwise they wouldn't be training HON for this game.

After all, they hadn't achieved very good results in DOTA, let alone the championship, even the best result was just reaching the semi-finals, not even the finals.

"Of course, you have to have enough strength, otherwise the club will still fire you, including me." Waving his hand, the coach said to the five young boys.

"We have already entered the top 50 of the HON ladder, and we are playing in our game position." Best said quickly, wanting to prove his strength.

"Although it sounds a bit unacceptable, I still have to say that after discussion, the club feels that HON's development prospects are not great. At least in a short period of time, it is difficult for HON to have a professional professional game, and the S2games capital behind HON is not It’s not rich, so the next game the club will arrange for you is this game.” The coach opened the notebook next to him and entered the global official website of League of Legends.

"The League of Legends just developed by Tianhe Network, I believe you should have heard of it. Not long ago, C9 and other clubs have announced that they will form a corresponding team in a month, and at the same time participate in the first Kings League held by Tianhe Network. The total prize pool Up to 3 million U.S. dollars, which is the same as the first prize pool of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.”

"3 million US dollars? My God!" Hearing the coach's words, the five players couldn't help opening their eyes.

"But the only problem is that the conditions for participating in this competition are very cruel. First of all, you have to reach the rank of extraordinary master in the game to be eligible, and you have to go through auditions. In the end, only 16 teams in the world can participate .”

Registration starts in mid-August, ends at the end of September, and starts in early November. The three-month competition schedule, if you want to stay in the club, you must at least be able to become a member of these 16 teams.

Half an hour later, the five people who were still a bit dazed returned to the training room.

"By the way, Andy, do you know this game? Don't you often play games on Tianhe Network?" Best asked the internal support.

"I've heard of it, but I haven't played it yet, but the games of Tianhe Network have never been bad, and such a large-scale competition will be held just after it goes online. Tianhe Network must be very powerful. More importantly, whether it is playing HON or League of Legends, Aren’t they all the same for us, and compared to HON, I think I’m more optimistic about League of Legends, or the Tianhe Network, which was later released, at least compared to companies like S2game, they have greater capital.” Andy waved his hand and said.

"Let's take a look at the game first. I hope God bless, this game can make us not bored."

The club's internet speed is fast enough, and the installation package of League of Legends itself is not too big. When a few people are chatting, the game has already been downloaded.

Best first registered an account on the global official website with his Google mailbox, and then said with some apprehension.

As a professional player who regards games as his job, the thing he fears the most is that he has no talent in a game that seems to have a bright future, and he doesn't even call him. This is a very scary thing.

If you are not interested in this game, and you have no talent, then it is impossible for you to be an e-sports player.

Because you can't possibly get grades.

After all, in e-sports, food is the original sin.
