[WOW! The Sanh mouse flexibly circled and killed the AD on the opposite side!]

[Dwa’s ultimate move explodes four! Oh my god!]

[Middle door, Smith, kills with one hit, so handsome!]

Highlights of various games were constantly changing on the stage, accompanied by exciting explanations. Everyone seemed to be involved, but the most valuable heavyweight in the audience was dozing off, which made many people unable to sit still.

.

"It seems that none of this can be judged by others." I smiled bitterly and shook my head. Cheng Qing, a man like this, actually sent me to negotiate with him. It would be damned if he could succeed.

As expected, e-sports still has a long way to go. However, the representatives of other teams are different. The Thunder and Mariners watched with great interest and kept asking questions to the people in charge. They seemed to be very interested in these virtual competitions.

interested.

"Are these people coming to the University of Washington to invest in esports teams?" I asked Li.

Li nodded: "Yes, it is equivalent to investing in youth training. The industry generally believes that young people are the greatest capital for e-sports players, so these wealthy families will start with college students."

I actually don’t agree with this. Youth is capital. This may be true for other games, such as CSGO, but it’s hard to say for DOTA2. With sharp young players and experienced veteran support, as an investor, of course, you will be infinitely optimistic about the former, and even

I will use him as the core of the team, but as a player, I will definitely choose a veteran assistant. It is not just because of his experience, but because a person is older and has a relatively mature style of dealing with the team atmosphere.

Very helpful.

There are many young talents who are arrogant. If you find five young people to form a team, unless it is an iron team that has climbed from the bottom to the top, otherwise the results can only be said to be God's blessing.

After the exhibition match, it was time for the representatives of each team to speak. This scene reminded me of the selection and review sessions of a reality show.

No matter how sharp my ears were, I couldn't hear their conversation in the noisy environment: "Hey, it's too far here and I can't hear anything. Can we go to the front?"

Li: "It should be no problem, I'll take you there."

When I was about to catch up, Bai Yu pulled me back: "Why are you suddenly so interested in these things?"

"Uh, actually...Cheng Qing asked me to help him with something in Seattle." I thought about it and decided not to hide it from her.

Bai Yu's face changed slightly: "Then you came to Seattle with me because you happened to be here for business?"

I immediately denied it: "Of course not. Cheng Qing knew that I came to Seattle with you, so he called me specifically to ask me to do something. You also know that he is very kind, so I had to help."

However, Bai Yu's focus was a bit strange: "Ah? How did he know that we came together?"

"They all know about leather shoes, shouldn't they tell me?"

"Ah, I didn't even tell Bu Zhi about coming to Seattle." Bai Yu covered his face with his hands, spreading his fingers to reveal his bright eyes, "Forget it, just know it if you know it, let's go, let's go, today I am yours

translator."

So I was pulled away by her with a confused look on my face.

…

"It's both entertaining and dramatic. I think the prospects of these projects are good, but there are still a few questions that need to be asked, which are about the daily training of the team members..."

"Even though I'm not a big fan of e-sports, I can still see its value and charm from the perspective of the audience, and I'm happy to recommend it to my team..."

Walking closer, several responsible people have already started to comment, but they all say the same thing. First they praise each other, and then they ask questions. The angle is not tricky but very biased. I pity these unexperienced e-sports players.

I can only be led by their noses.

"I only have one question about this." Paul Allen's slow tone had an indescribable dignity, "Can these teams beat AI?"

As soon as this question was raised, everyone around was silent, including those players from the LOL and OW exhibition games.

AI? Computer? Artificial intelligence?

"I have always hoped that PCs can be used to handle various tasks, not just accounting, writing, calculations, etc. In order to make great progress in the field of AI, I think e-sports is a good direction to enter, but,

If the performance prospects of AI are obviously better than those of real people, why should I invest in you?"

This is a sharp question. Traditional sports and artificial intelligence are not directly connected, but e-sports is different. Virtual sports and artificial intelligence are topics that are bound to collide.

These contestants were all young and naturally a little arrogant. Faced with Allen's aggressive questions, some of them immediately became dissatisfied and whispered, "We'll see if we can win in a competition."

"Okay, let's compete." Paul Allen clapped his hands, "My company happens to have an AI team, and we can have an open competition. As long as any team can win the AI, I believe they will not

It would disgrace the title 'Seahawk'."

Paul Allen, in 2003, Allen established the Allen Institute for Brain Science; in 2014, he established the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence; in 2016, he established the Paul Allen Frontier Group to provide huge funds for AI research.

In general, this billionaire is an enthusiastic AI enthusiast. As a businessman, he has a keen sense of business opportunities in this emerging field.

Although the others are full of praise, they are basically empty promises, and Paul Allen is very straightforward: whoever can win AI will be named.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't sit still. The competition between humans and AI in the field of e-sports is an interesting challenge for both participants and spectators.

"As for the competition events, except for today's three..." Allen thought for a while and simply waved his hand: "There are no restrictions on the events. As long as it is e-sports, as long as you can gather a professional team, you can sign up. You can contact me for the specific time.

I will discuss it in detail with my assistant, so that’s the end of it for today.”

No restrictions on projects? That’s a bit interesting. I rubbed my chin with an excited expression on my face. Bai Yu saw it and said with a smile: “It seems we won’t be able to go to the Space Needle for a while.”

I smiled sheepishly: "Uh, it doesn't matter, right?"

"It's okay, I'll listen to you." She nodded gently.

There were gradually fewer people in the gym, but the big news spread quickly like a water bomb:

[Microsoft founder launches AI project to enter e-sports market!]

[Challenges and opportunities, beat the AI ​​and get the naming rights of the Seattle Seahawks!]

[The five major e-sports projects of LOL, OW, ite, and DOTA2 are gathered together. Who is the lucky one? 】

[Artificial intelligence strikes again, e-sports players request to compete!]
