Chapter 20 Gap
There is no way to communicate with this Korean waiter, so it is naturally impossible to invite him to play games in the United States.
Although Merlin spent so much money to surf the Internet, she felt bored after playing these two games.
This time he came to Korea not to wander around aimlessly, but to have a purpose. His destination was the venue for South Korea to host professional leagues.
Although he is just an American player, there is no club, and the team is also a relatively loose group. However, for him who has won the National Championship more than once, it is still easy to ask the StarCraft project team to help him match up with him to watch the game in South Korea.
As a game company with a strong Takahashi style, Wanhu is not as arrogant as other companies, but is very friendly to the people.
Not to mention that he is a national champion, he is a letter request from ordinary players. If tens of thousands of households can be satisfied, he will also be satisfied most of the time.
Because satisfying the wishes of these players does not cost much money, compared to players' trust in their own homes, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
Even though Wanhu's ball games did not get the title of the competition in the United States and could not gain real fans and players, because of Wanhu's friendly style, countless players who like to play electronic games chose the "unreal" Wanhu game.
Of course, this is not only the charming company of Wanhu, but also the game of Wanhu is really more fun.
Although the electronic art industry has the right to name the name, from gameplay to game feel, they are actually following the rhythm of Wanhu.
Because Wanhu Group has many special effects production tasks, its research on physics engines can be said to be one of the most profound manufacturers in the world.
Physics engines are particularly important for ball sports.
Perhaps when designing, I think it is not very critical to see the ball falling at a speed and flying at a speed.
However, players who always watch real ball sports can actually feel the slightest sense of incongruity in ball games.
This is why the electronic arts industry can allow fans to manipulate their favorite stars, but it cannot satisfy the hearts of the fans.
Although Wanhu's games are perfect than those in the electronic art world in all aspects, they lack real league titles, which is also a pity.
Even many fans of the ball game have written letters to Wanhu, asking Wanhu to buy the copyright of the league.
But how to buy it in ten thousand households?
As a company that has settled abroad and is a latecomer in ball games, Wanhu is really not easy to grab some copyright from the electronic arts industry.
Although the United States is a country where everyone is equal before money, even if it is doubled, it is not impossible to obtain agency rights.
But what can I do if I am an agent? How many more games do I need to sell to earn back?
Wanhu did not ignore the players' unreasonable petition, but patiently explained the actual situation and responded to it carefully.
As for how fans and players who received the reply message connect, how to march, and how to petition, it is not something that thousands of households need to take care of.
After the initial shock, Merlin headed to the largest hotel in Seoul.
After the South Korea-Japan Olympics that year, Seoul can actually be said to be an international city.
Although the English level of ordinary people is not very good, the various foreign language skills of those waiters in these big hotels are not considered bad.
Merlin is also a brave person. He dares to get off the plane and wander around the streets after he has no language.
But even if that's the case, when entering the hotel and hearing the language you can understand, Merlin still felt like she was going home.
Although the Korean league is not sponsored by Wanhu like the United States, Wanhu, as the producer and publisher of "StarCraft", is also an important co-organizer of the Korean Professional League.
Meilin had just completed the procedures for entering the front desk, and the clerk of the Korean Professional E-sports Association found Meilin.
The full name of the Korean Professional Electronics Association is this, but the abbreviation is KeSPA. This e-sports organization sponsored by the South Korean government and co-organized by major consortiums has a very strong voice in Korean electronic games.
All professional players are under the management of KeSPA. Although Merlin's clerk is very kind, he also needs people to praise him in major Korean professional teams.
Merlin listened to the young man opposite him in English with a pickle accent, and he smiled and talked to him.
People in any country speak English with an accent, and he doesn't care about it. You should know that the American accent he spoke was ridiculed by the British a hundred years ago as a country accent.
While talking to the clerk, Merlin suddenly asked about the incident when she got off the plane and entered an Internet cafe to fight against the people from these Internet cafes.
"Are they also professional players? But I am in the United States, and the information given by Wanhu says that Korean professional players are training in fixed venues. Did they go to the Internet cafe after holidays?" Merlin asked.
When KeSPA clerk heard this, he thought about the words and said, "Our Korean e-sports is a very professional model. Generally, it is difficult for a professional player to have a long vacation in a year, let alone have to work in an Internet cafe. I think the players you meet who are very good at playing "StarCraft" may be trainees who have come to professional teams. Because of their lack of level, they were eliminated by professional teams and had to go back to work in Internet cafes."
"Practice...trainees?...eliminate?" Meilin suddenly became a little incoherent.
Although he didn't think it was a shame to fail, he lost even if he played with a person who was eliminated by the Korean league system. Then he...
Is South Korea that strong?
Thinking of this, Meilin sweated heavily.
Although there are two modes of competition in Internet cafes and playing professional competitions.
Merlin is a player who is good at analyzing opponents' strengths and formulating corresponding tactics.
However, this kind of competition in Internet cafes doesn't understand each other.
Not only Merlin was not prepared, but his opponent was not prepared either.
In this case, Merlin lost flawlessly. It can only be said that his opponent is very strong and is at least one level stronger than himself.
When Merlin thought of this, she suddenly asked, "When will I see the Korean professional competition? I really want to watch it now!"
The clerk replied, "There are only public competitions on Friday and Saturday. However, you are invited by Wanhu and the champion of StarCraft. If you don't feel tired and don't have to rest, you can come to the training base to watch the training competition? Are you not going to rest, are you going to watch the competition directly?"
