Create a great era of e-sports

Somewhere on the second floor.

At the window.

Mo Yu and Yan Kai first stood there, looking at the chaos below.

I didn't expect him to be so famous? There are actually people gathered around him asking for autographs. Yan Kaixian was surprised: I remember him as just a kid.

Mo Yu smiled and said: It's not wrong to say a child, I think he is only 17 this year, right?

Lu Zibo debuted in high school at the age of 15. He was only 16 when he won the S1 world championship last year. He has not yet reached his 17th birthday this year.

It's amazing.

Yan Kaixian sighed.

He is indeed a very powerful young man. Mo Yu nodded and said, But since you are in charge of the Sports Bureau, you should have seen a lot, right?

Not only e-sports requires young players, but also many sports competitions are dominated by teenagers.

Gymnastics, skating, diving, etc. all select young athletes who are in their teens.

This age is the most flexible and quickest in a person's life. When you are young, your body does not develop well, but when you get older, many things decline. Only in your teens is the peak period.

There are quite a few, but there are not many world champions.

Yan Kai waved his hand first, left the window, walked back to the desk and sat down.

A total of twelve cities have signed up for the GAG ​​project of this Provincial Games, and they are all places run by young people. Those old-school ideas have not let go, otherwise there should be more.

There's nothing you can do about it. Just take your time. I'll be satisfied with twelve.

Mo Yu told the truth.

Throughout Handong, there are many large and small cities and counties, and there are also more or less athletes under each city and county.

At the Provincial Games, the most registered events are always traditional events such as sprinting, relays, long jump, and high jump. For emerging events such as e-sports, many people remain on the sidelines.

Now that twelve cities have signed up, Mo Yu is really satisfied.

If e-sports had not been developing in Handong for a long time, and many surrounding cities had benefited from the tourists it brought, and there were younger leaders who saw the increasing influence of GAG events, plus the face of donating materials, I am afraid that Not even twelve.

If he changed to another province, Mo Yu would not dare to agree to Louxing's entry into the Provincial Games.

The conditions were not mature at all, and no one signed up after entering.

In other words, only Handong has the foundation.

That's right. Yan Kaixian said: Take it step by step slowly. It's just starting now. It's already good to have twelve cities. I'm very curious now. I don't know which city can win the championship? What do you think? Is there any hope for Jingzhou?”

That's really hard to say.

Mo Yu thought about it and didn't dare to draw a conclusion.

Although there is Lu Zibo in Jingzhou, there are also masters in several other cities that signed up.

No matter how strong Lu Zibo is, without familiar teammates, it may be difficult for him to achieve good results.

To know.

The cities that signed up for the competition this time spread out with Jingzhou as the center. Three neighboring cities have signed up. The remaining eight are not far from Jingzhou, and in comparison, the department heads are all three. Younger people in their late teens or early forties.

Counting down, the twelve cities are Jingzhou, Nanshi, Changshi, Xiangxian, Hongjiang, Yuanshi, Jiangcheng, Shangcheng, Zixian, Lengshui County, Changcheng, and Anxian.

If he really wanted to see it, judging from the strength on paper, Jingzhou has the best chance of winning, with Lu Zibo as the champion and another GDL professional player.

Next is Nanshi, they also have two people, one GPL and one GDL.

The three of them, Hong Jiang, are all GDL players.

There is one player each from Yuan City, Jiangcheng, Zixian, and Lengshui County. Among them, the one from Yuan City is a GPL top laner, and the other three are all GDL players.

There are eleven people in total, belonging to seven cities.

When recruiting players, these seven cities also have the same regulations as Jingzhou, and audition players will serve as substitutes for professional players.

It can only be said that Jingzhou has a slight advantage based on paper strength, but we have to fight to know how it will be. Mo Yu analyzed: Like Hongjiang, although the three are all players in the secondary league, but inside There are two people who both play for the same club, so there is an advantage just in terms of cooperation, and it’s hard to say in other places.”

Listening to your analysis, it may not be easy for Jingzhou to win the championship.

Yan Kaixian frowned: Isn't the world champion safe?

Mo Yu spread his hands and said: It's not a single player competition. GAG is a team competition. No matter how strong one person is, it's impossible to fight five. It's unrealistic.

That's really a bit troublesome. Yan Kaixian sighed, and then his eyes lit up as if he thought of something: By the way, have you chosen the coach? Who is assigned to the Jingzhou team? I remember it looks like the coach of Emperor Star the best?

Mo Yu knew what he was thinking at a glance, and said helplessly: You are a big leader in charge of sports after all. Can you talk about some principles and fair competition?

You kid, don't talk nonsense to me. It's about honor. Who will be assigned to Jingzhou?

Yan Kaixian kept asking questions.

Achieving good results in the Provincial Games is also a political achievement for his promotion.

In previous years, Jingzhou, as the provincial capital, was a strong competitor in other events. This year, there is an extra GAG, and Yan Kaixian also wants to win the championship.

Even in his heart, GAG is more important than other projects.

After all, in other sports, it is difficult for the entire Handong to cultivate a world champion, but GAG is different. Jingzhou has the greatest chance.

It is the origin of e-sports, and it is also known as the capital of e-sports, with the strongest atmosphere.

If e-sports enters a venue like the Asian Games in the future, if Jingzhou can produce another player like Lu Zibo, it will be extremely rich!

I know what you are thinking, I can only say that you are overthinking it. Mo Yu said with a smile when he saw this: They are all randomly drawn, and they are all assistant coaches. There is no head coach. They are all about the same level. There is not much difference. Even in the final A good one can’t be better than a good one.”

After S1, more and more clubs have understood the role of coaches and are trying to find ways to tap tactical talents to serve as team coaches.

After the launch of the league, almost every club has found a coach, and has gone a step further to form a coaching team with multiple positions such as analysts, data scientists, and assistant coaches.

Although most of them are still not used to it and are more of a takeout or team leader, they have taken on the task of coaching, and with the support of their boss, they themselves are not just playing tricks, but they all have certain qualifications. His real talent and practical knowledge, at least he has done some research on version understanding and tactical ideas, but his level is just different.

For this Provincial Games, Mo Yu provided coaches for the city teams that signed up, and invited the coaching teams of all clubs in GDL and GPL to draw lots. Without affecting the league, twelve coaches were assigned to each city. The participating teams will be responsible for coaching.

Most of these twelve coaches are assistant coaches and are not the actual coaches of the team. They rarely participate in matters such as BP and tactics in the league. They all readily agreed to this opportunity to put what they have learned to use.
