Last weekend, the first domestic E-sports training variety "battle to the top" was broadcast on Tencent video. 30 E-sports newcomers were assembled from sports stars to form teams to practice on the e-sports team, working hard for the competitive elimination competition and becoming real E-sports players. Through the panoramic reality show, the program allows the audience to see the real E-sports ecology and the unknown hardships of E-sports players. Recently, the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily made a telephone interview with Jiuzhe, the founder and head coach of Nanjing hero Jiujing who participated in the program, and talked about whether the program can truly restore the life of professional E-sports players. Jiuzhe said: "the time arrangement of E-sports newcomers after coming to the club is strictly in accordance with the standards of E-sports campaigners. However, some training contents and methods will be processed by the program team." New variety of E-sports IP Panoramic display of "competing" life In the past two years, E-sports IP has become a hot spot in the mainland entertainment industry. From popular dramas to variety shows, E-sports are everywhere. Similarly, there are many stars in the entertainment circle who like e-sports, such as Yang Mi, Huang Minghao, Gong Jun, etc. invited in the program. How much do they love E-sports? Yang Mi said frankly in an interview with flowers and youth: "let me arrange my holiday itinerary. It's better to swim in the 'Canyon' The "Canyon" she said is the king Canyon in the king's glory. This time, Tencent video invited 30 cultural and sports guests to assemble into E-sports newcomers in the "battle to the top", so that they can deeply feel the journey of being an E-sports player in the program. In the second program, the e-sports newcomers experienced life in the club for the first time. Each club found the youth training team members to practice with the e-sports newcomers, and gave a blow to huangminghao, hehongshan and others who thought they played well. In addition, the program team also asked the e-sports newcomers to make a post game replay regardless of whether they won or lost. Even the youth training team members who won the game should also make a profound summary. At the same time, the program team also invited E-sports coaches and players to participate in the program. After the first program was broadcast, the most popular topic was the public's discussion on E-sports campaigners. From dress to training details, the audience had a panoramic view of "E-sports people's life" and "out of the circle" of vocational E-sports players. Just as weijizhong, vice president of the global E-sports Federation, said in the program: "E-sports is entering the public's vision with a new look, from games to favorite E-sports. E-sports is now also known as a sports event with cultural and creative connotation." Newcomer "resident" training Restore the real E-sports ecology After E-sports newcomers directly "stay in the team", the first lesson is to learn the team history. They come to the honor room of each team to experience the success of E-sports for the first time through trophies, team uniforms and video materials. After the first lesson of e-sports, the e-sports newcomers stationed in the team began a real test. Netizens called the training of Nanjing hero Jiujing team "military training". Coach Jiuzhe likes to remind E-sports newcomers by squatting. He doesn't pay attention to listening and likes to mention five squats. Regarding the "military training style training", Jiuzhe said bluntly: "squatting is just a form, which makes players realize why they should do squatting. When they are in competition and training, they will be impressed by such problems." Some netizens commented that Jiuzhe was not smiling. When talking about when to see his gentle side, Jiuzhe said with a smile: "I am very relaxed in life." Whether the program can truly restore the life of professional E-sports players, Jiuzhe said frankly: "the time arrangement of E-sports newcomers after coming to the club is strictly in accordance with the standards of E-sports players. However, some training contents and methods will be processed by the program group." A professional E-sports player will get up at 10 o'clock and read in the morning to deepen his memory by repeating yesterday's training match. After lunch, take an hour off to start the afternoon training match and resumption time. After dinner, the evening training match will be started. After the training match, the team members will be arranged for five rows. It will not end until 11:00 every day. It is true that the audience saw the high standards and strict requirements in the program, and it is also true to see the cruelty of E-sports. To restore a real E-sports ecology, "fight to the top" achieved. "Conflict" is inevitable Distinguish between E-sports and games E-sports is loved by young people, but E-sports is not the same as playing games. With the deepening of the experience, there will be some "conflicts" between coaches and team members, and the camera in the program truly records everything. Xuweizhou, who just came to Nanjing hero Jiujing, was severely criticized for his training attitude; Won the friendly match, but was fined dozens of squats for complacency. Why should I be punished for winning the friendly match? In this regard, Jiuzhe said bluntly: "in fact, it is not very important for us to win or lose the training matches between clubs at ordinary times. We attach importance to what we have learned in this training match? What progress has the team made? Because it is not a real game, it is not worth the happiness and celebration like winning a finals." For the newcomers of e-sports, this is a new learning of the game. In the program, Jiuzhe once said to the newcomers of E-sports: "the map that each of us sees is a very small part. Only by relying on the communication of teammates can we put together a complete Canyon map in our mind." Indeed, different positions and thoughts are different. For new E-sports players like xuweizhou, winning is very important. For E-sports coaches, how to resume and summarize the process is more important than winning. Because of the training progress, xuweizhou angrily left the training room. This "conflict" was hotly discussed by netizens during the broadcast of the program. Talking about why this "conflict" occurred, Jiuzhe said frankly: "I think this conflict may be what everyone saw in the program. At that time, xuweizhou just joined the e-sports club for training. He was still in a state of amateur playing games. E-sports is completely different from playing games. They can't understand why E-sports needs to do this, so he had some doubts at that time." After the conflict, whether the two sides can reconcile, Jiuzhe said: "after Xu Weizhou calmed down, we also communicated, and we can understand each other." What does the conflict mean? Party Jiuzhe concluded: "it is the new E-sports players who have changed their mentality from players to E-sports players. During this period, they need to be clearly aware." Reporter's notes The popularity of a variety show has brought E-sports into public life again. Its audience is not limited to variety fans and E-sports fans. This is a two-way journey between E-sports and popular culture. "Battle to the top" allows the audience to see the "reality show" of E-sports players in addition to fighting on the field, and also gives the public an opportunity to fully understand E-sports. Just like the program group's "amazing E-sports" inserted in the competition, it is their mission to popularize E-sports. It is hoped that after training, E-sports newcomers will forget their entertainment heart and understand the sports spirit of "higher, faster and stronger". (outlook new era)
