Otherworldly Architect

After saying goodbye to Master Xia Cheng that day, Ming Yan returned to his room and continued to stay up late to write the plan for "The Last Day of the Blue Star".

This document has accumulated over thirty pages, but it is not yet fully written.

The past experience has given Ming Yan a lot of inspiration, which makes him full of interest and full of expectations for the future.

In the evening, Xia Cheng sent Mingyan a "good night" text message.

This is a habit that has been cultivated since some time, and he sends "good morning" and "good night" messages every day.

As if to make sure that Ming Yan has a normal work and rest time...

After all, Ming Yan has had several bad deeds of losing contact directly.

But recently, he made it clear that he would not dare to lose contact. He had something very important to confirm.

The first is the top priority for the League of Legends to be included in the League One.

Ming Yan and Ning Yufeng directly made an appointment for a whole day to go through the relevant procedures.

The chairman of the League A is very reliable. After recommending the League of Legends, he simply stayed to help with the follow-up procedures.

"Basically, the League A's affairs are handled by the Association, and you don't need to do anything with your own hands." Ning Yufeng explained to Ming Yan, "We have professional planners and programmers, who will be responsible for the career of the League of Legends. Balance, and then merge into a test server. After two rounds of internal testing, and after confirming that there is no conflict in the game, we can conduct public testing and allow professional players to choose. This process takes about six months.”

Ming Yan said, "Do you need my help?"

Ning Yufeng said: "It is best for Bluestar to have a designer who can hand over to us throughout the process. After all, we may not understand the design intentions you make, and we need to communicate at any time."

Mingyan nodded, took notes, and said, "No problem, our designers have a comprehensive understanding of their games."

"There is another small thing." Ning Yufeng said, "The League A pays more attention to reputation. We hope that every game we include is flawless. I have noticed some opinions in the League of Legends community recently. Star can handle it. Of course, I can also help."

Ming said: "I will pay attention."

He knew that the "some opinions" that Ning Yufeng said were actually Internet sunspots leading the rhythm Black Legends League.

It is probably the sequelae of the naval offensive of cruise capital, and now some netizens think that the League of Legends has brought down a group of League A players.

Even the game itself has been included in the League One.

But it's a very new game after all, and no one knows what role it will end up playing.

For example, the card master in a game is a very popular profession in the League A, and it is also famous in the live broadcast circle - after all, there is a signboard of "Goddess's Kiss".

And the professional design in some games is a little tasteless, and it is not so brilliant in a fair PVP battle.

It will cause it to remain unnoticed, and it has been lying in the corner of the League A.

It will also make the professional players who mainly attack this game will be miserable.

The League One will include new games every year, but there are still not many occupations active in the world arena.

Because some new games sink in, and no one chooses at all; and old games are being eliminated every year, and there are always better new designs that can attract players.

At the end of the day, any design that is not good enough will be rejected by the pros.

The stamina of the League of Legends cannot be seen yet, and the sunspots are making "prophecies" on the Internet.

【It will definitely be cold! The latest game from Frontier Star Province! Now persuading people to enter the League of Legends training is equivalent to pushing people into a fire pit! 】

[This year, there are League of Legends players who can enter the League A provincial competition, and I will broadcast live. 】

[This game also has an extra mechanic for fighting minions, and it is just a consumer entertainment product. Saying it is a "strategy" makes people laugh out loud. You can only train you to fight minions and mow the grass, train a sense of hair, don't put gold on your face. 】

When "League of Legends" was promoted, one of the key points was "team strategy competition".

Because its game mechanics are unlike any other game.

It's not a simple group to kill, there are more people than who survived.

It's about withdrawing troops, pushing towers, pushing bases, and taking map resources... It can be said to be a game of "team experience and economy", and killing is just one of the means to gain experience and economic advantages.

If you play League of Legends with the mentality of playing fighting games, you may be able to hit the golden tier, but it will be very difficult to go further.

As long as there is an economic advantage, this game allows the rookie to beat the master.

While other team competitive games are purely competing for operation and cooperation, League of Legends has added another dimension, which is strategic awareness.

Can't beat the group?

In other games you have been cold; but here, you still have a chance!

Because you can use the 131-point push tactics to keep the enemy running.

Not even a team fight broke out, and the enemy's three-way high ground was pushed away.

Then a master went quietly and suddenly stole the opposite base, which is all possible.

Because of this, Ming Yan will play the banner of "strategy" when the game is launched.

80% of the players in the League of Legends are in the bronze and silver tiers, so many people don't feel the meaning of "strategy", which is normal.

And this is the first season, and even the coaches of some clubs do not yet have a mature tactical system.

Everyone is still trying their best to practice their laning and team-playing skills, and they have not yet realized the importance of "operation".

Mingyan also discussed with Bluestar's marketing how to resolve this public opinion turmoil.

Marketing said: "We can search in the kings and masters segment, find a game that is enough to explain the problem...and then use a promo to counter that claim."

Ming Yan thought for a while, agreed with the plan, and said, "You don't need to fight these sunspots directly, it's enough to just put out the promotional video. We are a big studio, and it seems too stingy to care about a few players."

Marketing: "..." When your promotional video came out, it was originally a slap in the face!

Blue Star's action was still very fast, and several designers and testers helped to select dozens of eligible games.

In the end, they found a classic 41-point lineup to victory.

That game was very interesting. All four players in the upper and lower jungles collapsed. Only the assassin player in the middle has stabilized and developed, but his advantage is not too big.

In the mid-term, it is already a big disadvantage of 4 heads compared to 13 heads.

At that moment, something miraculous happened.

The Assassin player in the middle of the blue team, the player with the ID "Char Siew No. 3", seems to have suddenly enlightened.

He no longer followed the team, but made a 41-point push - that is, the other four people contained the opponent in the middle to avoid the team, and he himself led the troops on the upper and lower sides, taking every opportunity to push the tower.

A few minutes later, the red side tried to fight the big dragon.

But 5v4+1 big dragon, which led to the two sides playing 3 for 3, the big dragon naturally did not succeed.

The blue-side assassin took the opportunity to push off the top of the road.

After that, the army line on the road was never launched again. The super soldier after the high ground was broken has been threatening the opposite front tooth tower.

After a few more minutes, the red side has been exhausted.

The two sides have been unable to fight, and are in the stage of guerrilla warfare of "you chase me and run, you run and I fight".

The blue team does nothing but drags the opponent back to the city to defend.

But the flexible assassin used his flexible characteristics to push the front tooth tower away!

No way, he is strong in his own right and is the only advantage in their team.

If you send one person to stop it, you will be killed by the assassins; if you send two people, you can be replaced by one, and you can escape; if you send three people, you can't beat the frontal group!

That's exactly what happened, when Hong Fang finally couldn't hold his breath, and the four of them rushed to double-team the assassins in anger.

The assassin calmly killed one, and then died heroically.

But taking advantage of this time, Lan Fang took down the ancient dragon and got a buff with a super strong increase in a short period of time.

When the four remaining members of the red team gathered and pushed, the four members of the blue team held together and resisted stubbornly under the high tower.

With the help of the ancient dragon buff and the power of the highland tower, the two sides fought a tragic group destruction.

All ten people died!

And there is still a trace of blood left on the high ground of the blue side.

The person who was the first to be resurrected by the red side came in a hurry and wiped out the blood.

At this time, his heart was very aggrieved. It was obviously their great advantage, but they had only taken the high ground until now.

And Hong Fang's own high ground has long been broken...

But he didn't know yet, and what was even more embarrassing was still to come.

After the blue side's assassin was resurrected, he didn't choose to form a group, but sneakily avoided the line of soldiers and strolled into the red side's high ground from the wild area.

The red tower has been pushed away by him, and the last half of the front teeth are still the result of the assassins.

At this time, the assassin sent a signal and commanded his teammates to fight.

This is 4 people on the blue side vs 5 people on the red side.

The latter was so excited that he lost his ultimate move, and finally found a chance to play in a group...

This wave of teamfights was a complete victory for the Reds.

But when they were excitedly preparing to end the game with a middle push, the picture was frozen!

Red Square: The smile fades away.jpg

But it turned out that when they were in a group, no one noticed that Lan Fang's assassin had sneaked in and demolished it against the front tooth tower!

Then there is a knife, a knife, hitting the base crystal.

When the red side was still celebrating the victory of the team, only the blood-skinned assassin was left, and the base crystal had been blasted—

game over!

The blue team beat the red team with 20 heads with 10 heads.

In this game, even Mingyan couldn't help but applaud.

The Assassin player from the blue side has fully exerted the essence of guerrilla warfare, and his understanding of the game has reached a very high level.

Checking his record, he has been scoring consecutively in recent days, and he is already a player with a high score of the king.

Amazingly, this guy is sometimes solo and sometimes duo.

He also has two "brothers", both of whom are assassins...

That's right, these three people are called: Char Siu No. 1, Char Siu No. 2, and Char Siu No. 3.

Marketing asked: "Is this game ok? I'll leave it to post-production."

Ming Yan nodded slightly and said, "Send letters separately to thank these ten players for their contributions."

Marketing takes things down.

In fact, Blue Star Studio itself has the complete right to use all the game videos in the League of Legends, and does not need the consent of the players.

This is the "Agreement Agreement" that the player clicked after downloading the game.

However, Mingyan still sent an email to notify the ten players, and gave a free skin as a thank you.

After this was completed, these players responded one after another.

Most people are very excited because they are going to be famous!

The "Strategy" video that Blue Star officially selected is equivalent to a textbook hand-picked by the Education Bureau, and it can be properly recorded in the history of the League of Legends.

Although the red side players are negative cases, they also feel very sour.

Because it can be instructed by the chief designer of Ming personally, it can be regarded as a special resume, the kind that can be played on the forum for a year.

At this time, the reply from the assassin "Char Siew No. 3" was very interesting.

The background of the envelope is still a beautiful bluebell.

After watching the marketing, he looked strange and said to Ming Yan, "This player... has a very strong identity."

Ming Yan asked curiously, "A League One player?"

"Yes, and they are the top 100 players in the national competition. The three of them are well-known players in the League A national competition." Marketing said, "This time he also sent a teaching video, which was instructed by his teacher. The content that he runs, the latter said he gave us for free.”

Mingyan was shocked and said, "Eh? Such a powerful player still has a teacher? He has taught three national competitions in a row?"

It's a little too strong!

Clinker, marketing took a deep breath: "This teacher's background is even bigger..."

…

A day later, the post-production of the video was completed.

Mainly intercepted the most classic three operations in this game: 4 people to contain the dragon, 1 to push the high ground, 1 to contain the opponent, 4 to take down the ancient dragon, and finally the two teams were destroyed, and 1 was stealing home to win. .

Standard 41-point push tactics.

This video was finally put on the official website of Bluestar.

Now the official website has basically taken shape, and players are almost all diverted from the game.

The popularity of the homepage of "Minecraft" is basically concentrated on the endless stream of mod posts, so let's not talk about this first.

The game homepage of "League of Legends" has been showing news hotspots in the game, fresh skins just released, discounts and other information, live broadcast rooms of several well-known anchors, and some popular game videos on the Internet.

After discussion, this video was named "The essence of guerrilla warfare! The king teaches you how to operate", and it was placed at the top of the video recommendation on the official website.

With the recent outbreak of the League of Legends popularity, this video became popular super fast.

Overnight, the playback volume has reached an astronomical figure of eight figures.

The video barrage has long been crowded, but fortunately, the administrator took precautions to enable the "shuffle barrage" function.

The comments are refreshed at a waterfall-like speed, expressing the players' admiration and admiration.

Ming Yan also took the time to read the comments.

The attitude of most gamers is this:

【Give! kneel! ! ],

[Can this game be played like this? ],

【I don't understand! With an economic advantage of close to 10,000, he was beaten and ran around like a dog],

[Kneeling and begging for BBQ pork to accept apprentices! ],

[Assassins are too flexible, I can't catch them even if I change them]

…

With this game as the vanguard, a group of main forces leading the charge quickly appeared on the Blue Star official website.

In addition to trying to copy this "41-point push" model, another player soon developed a "131-point push" routine, and then three teleportation "full image streaming" routines appeared...

Some professions that are not optimistic and that are not strong enough in combat, such as "Traveler", have suddenly developed unsolvable routines.

[Sure enough, the chief designer of Ming never makes useless designs. There is no profession of spicy chicken, only spicy chicken players! 】

[Just kidding, every word of my teacher has a deep meaning! With our IQ, we haven't been able to understand the design of the fairy...]

It only took about a week for the word "operation" to suddenly become popular.

The players seemed to wake up and suddenly realized: I don't have to face the other side! I can't beat the operation, but I can crush it with my IQ!

And this other form of victory, and it seems to be more fun to win.

You are as strong as you are, and I push my tower.

In the final analysis, this turned out to be a tower pushing game, competing for a strategic goal! It's not something that can be determined by the end of the gang fight between the two sides.

The misunderstanding that "League of Legends" has no strategic significance has not yet had time to ferment among players, and was immediately defeated by the official force.

Of course, there are still people who will resist.

For example, the sunspots took the last chance and said: I will get involved like this, and then lose the game, it is all because of the red side being too bad...

What, the red side are also players in the King Master segment?

That's their dish too!

The segmentation mechanism of the League of Legends is too spicy! All of them are stronger than the king in the barrage!

But at this time, Ming Yan's personal account also sent a message.

[Tiny work: Thanks to this player for the video. (Attachment: Video link) //@ Char Siu No. 3: Was scolded by the teacher for a **** head (picture: aggrieved expression)]

The video provided by "Char Siu No. 3" is the sound of the picture captured by the camera, which is not suitable to be pushed to everyone on the official platform.

However, it can be sent in the name of a person, and interact with the other party by the way.

Immediately, "Char Siu No. 3" reposted Ming Yan's message.

[Char Siew No. 3: The game is really fun and useful. The teacher asked me to play ten games a week, and to understand the tactics of each operation... He explained that the chief designer @ Tiny Work should be a master of strategy. 】

This account of this assassin player was originally not used by anyone.

But after he interacted with Ming Yan, many players went in curiously and wanted to know who he was.

The most eye-catching assassin in the official video should be very strong, right?

And when the players clicked into the video, many people were instantly stunned.

The player named "Char Siew No. 3" with a funny ID turned out to be a well-known national assassin player, Wang Xiaowu, a super master who is firmly ranked in the top ten in the assassin professional rankings.

Well, the ID "Wang Xiaowu" is not necessarily that good.

By the way, his two senior brothers are called: Zhang Xiaosan and Li Xiaosi.

At a glance, people know that the teacher is out of the same door.

At the beginning of that video, you can see Wang Xiaowu playing the game intently.

At this time, the game just progressed to the blue team's big disadvantage, and the teammates went to send another head.

Wang Xiaowu's face was full of despair and numbness, and he muttered to himself: "What melon skin teammates I met today, if I can win, I'll be damned..."

All the heads of the team were on Wang Xiaowu, the assassin named "Char Siew No. 3".

The remaining teammates were suppressed across the board and nothing was accomplished.

When Wang Xiaowu surrendered, another man broke into the camera.

He was standing just right, with no face in sight, only a small section of his chin exposed.

Holding a still steaming drink, he watched Wang Xiaowu's game for a while through the video software next to him.

"You have an advantage in the top lane," the man said. "This tower can be taken down at will."

Wang Xiaowu was shocked, took off his VR glasses and said, "Teacher!"

The man smiled and said, "Go back to get the tower, it takes at least 20 seconds for the opponent to return to defense."

Wang Xiaowu listened to his teacher's instructions and took the towers up and down one after another.

At this time, in the field of view of the map, I saw the red party gathering at the big dragon, and it seemed that they wanted to win the big dragon and then ended the game in one wave.

Wang Xiaowu hurriedly wanted to rush over to stop them.

And the man behind him said lightly: "Don't go, keep pushing you."

Wang Xiaowu's face was full of confusion, but he didn't dare to disobey his teacher's orders, so he had to continue to push down the red high ground.

Unexpectedly, this wave of Red Fang was too anxious and lost at Dalong! The big dragon didn't take it down, and a high tower was lost in vain.

The situation became stable all of a sudden.

Wang Xiaowu was full of admiration, turned his head and asked, "Teacher, what do you do next?"

The man took a sip of his drink and said, "Death."

Wang Xiaowu: "???"

Then I saw that the red team became angry after being resurrected, and assembled the army and rushed towards the assassins.

Wang Xiaowu had to work hard to replace the ADC on the other side, and then he died.

Taking advantage of this time, his teacher said, "Let them go get the ancient dragon."

Wang Xiaowu quickly sent a few marks, and his teammates successfully took down the ancient dragon.

Next, is the most classic stealing bridge.

In fact, Wang Xiaowu originally wanted to follow his teammates, the five and the other side to fight a wave of teamfights.

But the clinker his teacher said: "How much blood does the base have?"

Wang Xiaowu said honestly, "Two thousand and five."

The teacher asked again: "In theory, how long do you need to attack?"

Wang Xiaowu calculated: "About ten seconds."

His teacher smiled: "Then what are you waiting for here?"

Wang Xiaowu: "…"

I saw that this assassin player was suddenly blessed!

He left his teammates and ran! Then he ran wild all the way, all skills were activated, and after avoiding the sight of the place, he came to the opposite high ground.

The base on the opposite side was wide open, and everyone on the red side focused on the team battle.

Wang Xiaowu one knife, two knives...

In twenty seconds, the game is over.

The video is over, but the comments at the bottom have already deviated from the point.

Because Wang Xiaowu's teacher is too big.

Impressively, he is the champion of the 1140th League A National Championship, ID "Odin".

Known as the "God of Assassins", "The Great Demon King", and "the first beauty in the e-sports circle"!

The author has something to say:

Well, Odin is the protagonist of the author's old article "Eternal Night", but there won't be many scenes in this one.
