Chapter 1 It's not bad to be an amateur
DOTA Esports Competition in London, UK
In the arena, neon lights are dazzlingly flickering, and the glory of LEDs of various colors shines on the podium!
Five British contestants on the stage held up the trophy with excited smiles, and a long-legged girl next to her opened the champagne to spray them with a victory wish for them!
The center of the five people was a handsome brunette British young man who grinned and made the girls look at another young man below the stage.
He is the well-deserved core of the championship team. He is only 17 years old and is the real little prince of British e-sports!
"I learned a Chinese idiom." The champion did not give a speech on his winning speech at this time, but instead stared at someone in the audience and said, "It is called Yiyan Jiuding. Please keep your promise of failure and withdraw from the DOTA game from now on!"
The young man in the audience had black eyes and black hair, and his figure was a little thin.
Faced with the aggressive smile of the e-sports prince covered in halo, he could only nod in silence.
"Come on, genius player Eagle, please smile and leave us a souvenir." The photographer walked up to the black-haired boy and said in standard Chinese.
The brunette young man faced the camera and he grinned.
This smile made him feel heartbreaking!
At this moment, he understood.
Many times, second place is not rewarded.
For example, the battlefield.
In his eyes, e-sports is a battlefield, without gunpowder or blood, but once defeated, it is like a corpse, buried in the yellow sand, and all that is waiting for is slowly rotting...
This is true for e-sports, and this is true for any field full of competition, and few people will remember the second place.
His name is Yu Luosheng, and his game ID: Eagle.
But he must quit his favorite DOTA career stage, not just because of his bet with this British genius…
...
One year later
...
On the balcony of an ordinary residential building, the green and evergreen swayed gently with the blowing river breeze. If the wind was not mixed with the stench of sewage, it would be a bright morning for Yu Luosheng.
Short black hair, white vest, wide flip flops, standard silk configuration.
Fortunately, that face is pretty, and he deliberately pretends to be melancholy, huh, decadent and handsome!
Yu Luosheng was holding an English book and was slowly memorizing words.
In fact, his English scores are quite good, especially the sentences and words that bring greetings from the other party’s relatives and family members. He has an extraordinary talent for mastery.
There is no way. If you want to curse people in the UK, you can’t curse yourself with the country?
"No matter how I say it, Xiaosheng will definitely be able to make up for his studies. If you don't have a mock exam, you will be in the top 30 in the school. Xiaosheng is a genius, and he is a genius in any aspect!" A woman's voice came from the kitchen, and she could hear it and seemed a little relieved and proud.
"Hmph, if you didn't support him to play that broken game, his grades would be better. It would be no problem to be admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University. 30? It's still far from Tsinghua and Peking University. He would dare to just take an ordinary key university for me to take a look, and see if I don't smash his computer!" A middle-aged man's voice came over.
"If you dare to smash it, if you dare to smash it, I will throw your cigarettes and alcohol into the garbage dump! What's wrong with the game? After all, I went abroad for public expenses. Have you ever been abroad?" The woman immediately got angry!
"You...you are all pampering him. He wants no future in the future. The responsibility lies with you. What future can the game have!" the middle-aged man said angrily.
"What's wrong with me? You say you should do anything to me!"
"I'm too lazy to tell you!"
The noise of the old couple still came from his ears. Yu Luosheng was not woken up by the alarm clock when he woke up every day, but mostly the two old people were quarreling endlessly.
This suite is only about 80 square meters and cannot stop their voices anywhere.
The woman is naturally Yu Luosheng's mother and Li Yun, a typical biological mother, who is extremely spoiled for her son.
The middle-aged man is Yu Luosheng's father. Although Yu Jing's tone is very stern and angry, he is his real father, and every real father is like this.
"Dad, mom, I'm going to school." After putting away the English book, Yu Luosheng changed into an ugly school uniform, put on his schoolbag and went to the door to put on his shoes.
"Well, be careful on the way." Li Yun poked her head out of the kitchen and watched her son leave with her shoes before she went back to swish her dishes.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Li Yun went to her son's room to clean up.
When she walked to the room, Li Yun found that her son's computer screen was still flashing, and she obviously forgot to turn it off.
"This kid, run up early in the morning to play with her secretly." Li Yun said with some reproach.
As she said that, she quietly closed the door so that Yu would not see it, otherwise she would lose her temper again.
When he walked to the computer, Li Yun found that the game window was still there, with the big "League of Legends" written at the top.
"What kind of game is this?" Li Yun said with some confusion.
Then Li Yun saw RANK 1900 points again, but she didn't know what it meant, so she just turned off the game interface with the mouse and then clicked Shutdown.
...
There are extra points for winning the Olympics, there are extra points for winning the Academic Cup, and there are extra points for winning the provincial sports, but the runner-up of the e-sports international... Not only are there no extra points, the principal may also consider whether such a child should be accepted.
Yu Luosheng has played many games. He has won the Q-version competitive game such as Bubble Hall since junior high school, and karting, and later became fascinated by Warcraft. Later, he fell in love with Warcraft DOTA. The awards he won can kill those so-called study geniuses.
However, you should know that no matter how glory you get in this game field, most parents and elders will be charged with inappropriate work on your head.
The high school where Yu Luosheng studied is a key high school in the city, and he bought it after spending several years of savings. Yu Luosheng's original high school was very bad, which gave him enough decadent time to be a professional player in the first year of high school and second year of high school.
In June of his second year of high school, the DOTA International Competition was held. He went to participate, but after participating, he became a good student again...
The first place in the DOTA international competition is rewarded with RMB 300,000, but the second place is not rewarded with RMB 2.
As for why, ask the British E-Sports Association.
After missing his studies for nearly two years, his family still spent a lot of money to buy Yu Luosheng to study in a key high school.
The family was not in good condition, and Yu Luosheng couldn't bear to see Yu Jing's gloomy face, so he worked hard for a year.
People with talent actually have talent in many fields, and reading depends on talent.
Yu Luosheng is a talented person. In a year, he not only made up for his lost studies, but also surpassed some good students. The results of the mock exam are the best proof.
Of course, being a good student does not mean that he has given up on the game.
For some people in this era, games are the second life.
Just like Galen said: People are in the tower are in
Some things can really be defended with everything, including competitive games.
Yu Luosheng kept his promise with the British man and never met DOTA again, but the recent rise of League of Legends LOL made him feel like he was alive.
