"What's going on? Why are there so many people suddenly there?"

"I don't know very well, it seems that the Madman Guild is on it, and there are people from the strongest pirate group..."

"The strongest pirate group? Didn't those people be destroyed by the Madman before they climbed Apayado? It seems that their leader also lost to Madman outside Shandora. However, I heard that the Madman's damage was quite big."

"What you hear is old news."

"Old news?"

"That's right. Just now, all the members of the strongest pirates returned, just on the Gods Club. There are also some battle videos of the strongest pirates and madmen on the Internet. And... a friend said... Mo Da seemed to... lose this time..."

"Lost? How is it possible? He has opened a new Internet age in China!"

Opening up a new Internet era in China?

That’s right! He has indeed opened up a new Internet era in China!

Another player could only smile bitterly inexplicably. In fact, when he heard this news, he had already checked off the line. But even so, he still didn't want to believe the news he saw...

There are many people playing games, but who knows which professional events are more authoritative? I know Barcelona, ​​the Lakers, the Rockets, but who have ever loved international champions of Dota, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Kart, etc.? What are the game clubs?

Madman, god, wind and cloud...

That’s right, although Shen and Fengyun only received some sponsored guilds, the Madman is indeed very famous now, and there are some not-so-known game organizations.

But before the Madman, what did those professional gamers survive?

Practice?

10 to 70 RMB a day, you have to face many things like you. When you see a small trumpet, you will pounce on you like a wolf and tiger to promote your opponents. The most important thing is not to think that the money you get from the training is yours, and a large part of it needs to be handed over to the studio.

Brush gold?

There is no doubt that this has always been the hardest job.

Sell ​​equipment?

I heard that this is amazing. Many people get rich because of this? Well, a slutty person. You are thinking too much. How many examples are there like this? Let’s turn around and see how much money the people around you earn every month.

Competition bonus?

Ten thousand, twenty thousand? In fact, there are only so many bonuses for ordinary events, maybe it is Q coins, and there are few national ones with hundreds of thousands... except Happy Beans.

The most important thing is that there is only one champion, how should the rest of the people survive the rest of the time? A leaky low-rent house, and a instant noodles that you want to vomit when you smell...

I believe that every professional player has had such experiences and rarely dares to claim his or her profession to others. Playing games is useless and is discriminated against by others just like taking drugs.

...

If you just play casually, you will naturally not care too much about these. However, in the era when online games are drugs, everyone has experienced avoiding relatives and friends and quietly logging into the game server under huge moral pressure.

What changed these originated from the era of madmen...

That year's WGT, CPL, WEG, ESWC, CEG... until the end of WCG, everyone saw a unified name TNT, although almost no one remembers this name anymore...

But in the game field that year, everyone knew that there was such a group of people, and the guild named after the madman had unprecedented popularity.

That's right, it's because of the boiling blood, and it's because of the arrogance that I'm so arrogant that I challenge the top of the world.

Arrogant.

If you don't succeed, then all your actions can only prove your arrogance. Those who forget themselves are just because you have been immersed in your daydream and are unwilling to wake up, especially those like them who have no experience in the world.

All when those people are truly standing at the top of the W event is like igniting the once frivolous self in everyone's hearts.

People will always be obsessed with some things, even if they will hurt others, even if they will hurt themselves, even if they know that they are wrong... So they are originally kind but slaughtering the people, and are originally humble but dominate the world...

Is there anyone who has never thought of being an arrogant person who is proud of the world...

...

In fact, people's attention to TNT at that time was far from comparable to that of the current madmen. Online competition was listed as the 99th sports event in the country early, but if you have one, don't even think that the name of an online competition champion will appear in CCTV's news like other sports athletes.

More people will only tell you, give up, kids, this is not Korea, and there will always be a future in playing games, but the madman afterwards burst into everyone's attention.

It gathered many game experts on the Internet, and also won many popular online games at the time. Then it established a club, and countless studios were attached to it.

And it’s not just that for madmen, such as exhibition matches, live videos, broadcast rights, web traffic diversion, ticket buying, surrounding Taobao stores...even less, there are advertising spaces for corporate sponsorship and some public activities.

Madman effect.

It seems that many things people have never seen before suddenly appear along with the madman, and even because of the madman, people pay attention to the game to an unprecedented level.

"Do you know what shows are there today?"

People's answers are no longer just the NBA or the World Cup. Someone will definitely answer you immediately, which league live broadcast will be broadcast on the Battle Network tonight.

Yes, commercialization.

Only by receiving enough attention can enough benefits be created. Although these things in other countries have long been recognized by society, unfortunately, there is not even an e-sports association in the country.

Madman is extremely successful in this regard, and other professional players immediately imitated the madman's business model, which completely changed the fate of many professional players.

...

When the pianist's solemn sound ends, thousands of people in the venue will arouse awe and applause is heard. However, those professional players face a lonely computer. When you use your fingers to complete the shocking operation, who doesn't want to enjoy the feeling of being sought after by all stars.

No matter how much bitterness and sweat is spent, it is worth it!

"Do you want my treasure? If you want it, you can give it to you and find it! I will put all the treasures there!"

One Piece Gol D Roger, who has the whole world, said before his execution that people flock to the sea. The slogan of "Age of Discovery" as the world's first holographic game has also echoed in the ears of countless players for three years.

The most popular games and the most popular online characters, as if everything suddenly began with the establishment of the madman. This suddenly opened era.

...

PS: (The WCG here is just a "World Online Competition". It's a bit of a trick, so you don't have to really associate it with WCG, because the real WCG has been suspended for several years. It's really a bit confused. After all, it's a rare international event...)
