Chapter 285: Two heroes battle, beat the champion!
GAL League, Pengcheng Station.
As the most ambitious e-sports event in history, the GAL (Golden Age) League has more than a dozen branches around the world, and Pengcheng is one of them.
And in almost every city among these substations, a dedicated GAL competition venue has been built.
Taking Pengcheng Station as an example, the main stadium covers an area of about 30,000 square meters and can accommodate nearly 28,000 spectators at most. The overall design concept is similar to that of a traditional football field, except that the green field has become an electronic screen.
Don't underestimate these venues.
You know, the construction cost of such a large venue is not low. And the locations of these venues are all the world's top cities without exception.
In other words, compared with the construction cost, what is really amazing is being able to obtain a large piece of land in every international metropolis.
But then again…
As a well-known "e-sports F1" event, it is not surprising that the GAL League official has such strength. After all, the capital behind the GAL League is extremely powerful.
LOL? Dota? WoW?
Stop kidding! From the perspective of audience, the e-sports events of these games are pretty good, at least more successful than the GAL League.
But when it comes to the capital strength of the league teams, I'm sorry, even if all the mainstream e-sports events on the market are added together, they are still beaten by the GAL League.
Don’t use the argument that the investors behind XX club are very powerful as you don’t understand how many financial groups are supporting T1.
It is useless to judge whether a club or an e-sports team is financially strong just by looking at its name.
It carries the name of XX big group, but is reluctant to spend money, or is quite stingy when spending. To put it bluntly, although the parent company or investors are rich, this does not affect the club's poverty.
In other e-sports events, the salaries of super-high-paid players are estimated to be in the tens of millions, and this is the salary only available in popular events like LOL.
The annual salary of the super-giant and top-paid players in the GAL League has long exceeded 100 million yuan.
This is also the reason why the GAL League is so rich that it is willing to build competition venues in more than a dozen major cities around the world.
In addition, the GAL League is so wealthy that it is inseparable from the "audience".
That’s right!
The club has money and the fans have money too.
The audience who like to watch the GAL League were mainly old players of the "Star Emperor" game at the beginning, and there is no need to say more about the "gold content" of the players of the "Star Emperor" game.
As the influence of the GAL League continues to grow and it has begun to break out of its circle, this competition has also attracted many wealthy men and women who do not play games.
So it is true that the audience has money.
Not every audience member is a rich man or woman, but the proportion of rich men and women among the GAL league audience is really high, ridiculously high.
Because the number of rich players is extremely high, the tickets for every station in the GAL League are almost in short supply.
Even though the official ticket prices have been raised several times, they are still sold out as soon as they are released...
Watching GAL games offline has become a new way for rich men and women to pass the time. Poor guys who can't afford to buy tickets can only watch the live broadcast of the game.
He Kui is a rich buddy.
As the second generation of demolition in Pengcheng, his family is quite wealthy. He can live a superior life that many people envy by just lying down and collecting rent every day.
After learning that this year's GAL League Pengcheng Station competition would upgrade "Star Emperor 2" and "Galaxy Set", he bought a "scalper ticket" at a premium of several times without hesitation.
"Oh my god, that's expensive!"
Although he had money, the tickets were already very expensive and the scalpers added several more prices to the tickets. He Kui couldn't help but be amazed when he bought the tickets.
But he thought again. This match in Pengcheng is of great significance. It is said that Brother Ba will be there to supervise the match. It is normal for the tickets to be a little expensive. Normally, they are not so outrageous...
Why is this game so significant? Of course, it is because, as the official sequel to "Star Emperor", "Star Emperor 2" has finally landed in the GAL League.
Everyone is looking forward to whether there will be some new changes in the competition environment after upgrading "Star Emperor 2".
as well as……
Can the complete Galaxy Suit perform in the GAL League and blow up the opponent's host with one punch?
Yep, everyone wants to see this!
The Galaxy Set has been on the market for quite some time, and players have been talking about the driver bugs of this peripheral set for a long time.
As we all know, the GAL League has never been about the players' performance competition.
Yes, operation is important! No one says that the player's operation is not important. If it is really not important, how can the super-high-paid players get such high salaries? However, the real charm and attraction of the GAL League is that various hardware equipment manufacturers use the "competition" as a stage to show their own technology and hardware strength.
Large DIY console competition!
Moreover, all the contestants are hardware giants in the PC and console fields. They personally DIY an "invincible" game console. This is the core reason why the GAL League is so popular.
As we all know!
The GAL League emphasizes "extreme performance" rather than the so-called "durability".
What does this mean?
What this means is that in the GAL League, the machines assembled by each team are basically focused on squeezing the hardware and unleashing extreme performance, without considering the "lifespan" of the hardware.
Therefore, it is common to see machines smoking and catching fire during GAL games. It is also a common scene that one side suddenly calls for a timeout in the middle of a game, and engineers rush to repair the machine, or add liquid nitrogen or refrigerant to the machine for heat dissipation and temperature control.
Compared with its predecessor, "Star Emperor 2" has upgraded many functions and added some new mechanism modules, including the "injury" judgment system.
This injury assessment mechanism, combined with the Galaxy Suit's driver bug, directly created a big event...
He Kui really wants to know what the game will be like when the GAL League, whose hardware is so fragile, uses the Galaxy Set and "Star Emperor 2"?
He soon found out! The stadium was packed with people, and in the front row sat a familiar face, the magical Brother Ba.
"Hello everyone!"
Brother Ba waved and greeted everyone, then signaled everyone to concentrate on watching the game and not to pay attention to his presence.
"Hey, Brother Ba has a female companion?"
He Kui took a casual glance and was surprised to see that there was a young woman wearing a mask and sunglasses next to Brother Ba.
What's going on? Brother Ba, who has always been surrounded by men, suddenly changed his taste today and found a female companion? Who is this woman? Forget it, who cares!
The exciting game is about to begin. Who is Brother Ba? Can Brother Ba have a good game? "Come on, Intel!"
"NVIDIA, NVIDIA!"
The first game of the Pengcheng station today was the highly anticipated "Double Heroes Battle". Fans at the scene cheered for the team they supported, and the momentum was huge.
He Kui is a champion fan, commonly known as a fence-sitter!
He will support whoever wins the championship, so he doesn't have a clear support for any of the two teams on the field. He can accept anyone winning, he's just here to watch the fun.
However, before the game, he watched the prediction video on the Internet and felt that NVIDIA, as an old and powerful company, was still stronger.
Intel suffered because they insisted on using their own graphics cards, and the GPU performance was too lagging behind...
The CPU can't make up the difference!
After all, according to league regulations, Intel cannot refuse to provide top-level hardware to other teams. In other words, the CPU used by the Nvidia team is also from Intel.
The battle between the two heroes has lasted for so many years, and NVIDIA wins almost every time!
He Kui is not optimistic about Intel. Don’t ask why. The question is: What kind of champion are you?
Nvidia has won several championships, while Intel has yet to win a championship. Isn't it obvious who is stronger and who is weaker?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
You can't have the audacity to say that Stained Gauze Feike is the real god of the league, right?
Today's competition took a little longer to prepare because it was the first time to use the Galaxy Suit and "Star Emperor 2" for an official competition.
But after more than ten minutes, the game started on time.
"Okay, everyone, welcome to watch the GAL Pengcheng Station match broadcast. I am the commentator for this match, Xu Kong!"
“…As you can see, today is the first time that Star Emperor 2 is used for the competition. Both players are very hesitant in their selection of players!”
"Yes, because many of the characters in Star Emperor 2 are brand new. When choosing characters, we don't know the restraint relationship yet, so everyone is very hesitant...Okay, Thomas has locked on Galaxy Emperor!"
“That’s a good choice!”
"The positioning of the Galaxy Emperor is the same as that of the Star Emperor in the previous game. He is a pentagonal all-round warrior who is not easy to be restrained. Intel's analysts really did their homework."
"On NVIDIA's side, the young player Qin Hao chose Venomous Scorpion Supreme. This young player, who just turned 18, seems to be more aggressive and wants to take an unconventional approach..."
The game officially begins! With the help of the staff, the players on both sides put on the "upgraded" Galaxy suits and VR glasses and officially enter the game.
Scorpion Supreme VS Galaxy Emperor!
This duel started with full firepower, and in accordance with past tradition, extreme sublimation was almost standard.
It's a GAL match!
What is the GAL competition? This is a battlefield that is more cruel and bloody than the immortal road and the strange plateau. Which player who comes to this stage is not a master? Everyone is a professional player, so naturally they will not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy. They will definitely enter the strongest state right from the start and will not think of holding back.
So the starting point is extreme sublimation + other-transformation method + imperial weapon + special physique + amplification secret method...
Don't ask, the answer is that they can't afford to lose! This is a battle that can affect the stock price. Each player has a heavy responsibility and cannot afford to be careless.
The graphics of Star Emperor 2 are top-notch, and the special effects are even more gorgeous and exquisite, which made the audience exclaim that it is amazing! But this is just the beginning...
When the two contestants are ready and start the duel under the endless starry sky, the grand scenes one after another will definitely satisfy the audience's ultimate fantasy.
Shatter stars with a snap of fingers, step on the Milky Way, and shake open the sea of stars with the wave of fists!
In the hands of GAL professional players, the Scorpion Supreme and the Galaxy Emperor finally showed a hint of amazing and terrifying power.
However, the 18-year-old boy is still too young.
After several rounds of fighting, the Scorpion Supreme quickly fell into a disadvantage, and the situation was gradually controlled by the Galaxy Emperor.
"Intel, Intel!"
The audience immediately burst into warm cheers. What happened to the uncrowned shockwave? Can't the uncrowned shockwave have fans? Are you kidding? Intel has too many fans!
"Ah, the young player still can't keep his composure. Thomas found an opportunity right away. It seems that we should congratulate Intel for this game!"
"No, oh my god..."
The commentator was almost stunned. He looked at the scene on the screen with wide eyes and said, "NVIDIA has no moral integrity. They actually sent another player to possess Qin Hao!"
Sure enough, there is such a thing! He Kui couldn't help laughing when he saw that the Poison Scorpion Supreme controlled by Qin Hao was possessed by "taking over the body".
Before coming, he had guessed that this thing would appear in today's game, but he didn't expect it to be used in the first game.
Nvidia has made a move, and Intel will naturally respond. This is the only move you can make, right? I'll do it too!
After taking over the body, the Scorpion Supreme and the Galaxy Emperor were equivalent to having a second life and were back to the same starting line.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the bug in the injury feedback mechanism and the Galaxy Suit Drive Chain still exists, and the damage caused will be devastating...
In the picture, the Galaxy Emperor representing Intel was stabbed in the right hand by the tail stinger wielded by the Scorpion Supreme, suffering serious injuries.
As a result, the next second after the injury, thick smoke suddenly came out of Intel's mainframe, which scared everyone...
My goodness! The game character was hit and injured, and in the blink of an eye, the injury was reflected on the game console. This is too scary.
With so much smoke, can you still fight? You are not going to surrender and leave the shame of never being able to beat Nvidia for the rest of your life, are you? Obviously! Although the host is smoking, Intel has not been disconnected or the screen is black, which means that it can still fight.
Not only was he good at fighting, but at this time, he was even more calm and composed. With seemingly mistaken movements, he lured the opponent to attack from the flank, and then turned around and punched the Venomous Scorpion Supreme in the waist.
With a bang, the mainframe where NVIDIA was located suddenly jumped a few times, and then exploded, with parts flying everywhere...
"Intel wins!"
It was the first time for the referee to see such a situation. Although he was surprised, he was very professional and quickly announced the end of the game. Intel won directly.
The other party's host has crashed and it will definitely not be repaired in a short time. According to the rules, if one party's host problem cannot be repaired within five minutes, they will be directly judged as the loser.
Obviously! Not to mention five minutes, even if it was fifty minutes, Nvidia's engineers couldn't fix the host that suddenly exploded. The game couldn't go on, so they had to admit defeat.
Intel won! Not only did they win, but they won beautifully. Thomas crushed Nvidia with one punch.
"Intel! Intel!"
Intel fans were so happy. They were ready to lie down and be ridiculed, but they never expected that Intel would be so powerful today and actually beat the old giant Nvidia! Now...
From now on, whenever anyone asks Intel what champion it is, fans can answer it by saying “beating champion”.
