The national server logo was something unattainable in the eyes of many people, but it was not difficult for professional players.
Professional players did not fight for the national server logo because they did not have the time.
Every day, they had to practice their support, practice their control details, review their matches, study their opponents, and play mock matches. Where would they find the time to use the same hero to play hundreds or thousands of ranked matches to improve their combat power?
In his previous life, many of Ye Shaoyang's heroes did not get the national server logo.
Most of the national server logos were in the hands of game streamers. After all, game streamers had a lot of time to play ranked matches and improve their combat power. The national server logo was also an advertisement for the streamers to promote themselves.
However, everyone knew that among those heroes, Ye Shaoyang was the best at playing.
In this life, he was not an eSports player yet.
He had plenty of time.
Ye Shaoyang took a taxi home and opened the door to enter the house.
Xiao Rui immediately ran over and asked, "Brother, how was it? Did you talk to them?"
Little White also meowed and ran over to rub against his trousers. It probably thought that he had returned from a hunt and that there was something delicious to eat.
Ye Shaoyang picked up Little White and said calmly, "It fell through."
Little White turned to look at its master in confusion. "Meow meow?"
Xiao Rui's smile froze. After a few seconds of silence, he whispered, "Brother, is Whale Streaming's contract too harsh? If it doesn't work, should we switch to another platform? "
"All crows are as black as the sky. The contracts of all the major platforms are similar." Ye Shaoyang carried Little White to the balcony and said, "I won't switch platforms for the time being. I have hundreds of thousands of gifts in my streaming room and more than 200,000 members. If I switch platforms, I'll lose a lot of money. It'll also be a waste of the gifts and membership cards that my fans have sent me."
Ye Shaoyang leaned over and added some freeze-dried food to the cat's bowl on the balcony.
Little White immediately buried its head in the bowl.
Ye Shaoyang patted the foodie cat's head and said with a smile, "Anyway, if I don't sign the contract, they can't take the money away. It's just stored in my backend. One day, they'll come to me and ask me to sign the contract. "
There wasn't a trace of anger on his face from being wronged during the negotiation. Instead, he was very calm and confident. Although Qin Rui didn't understand why his brother's negotiation with the platform fell apart, he could tell from his brother's expression that he didn't suffer any losses. Thinking of this, Qin Rui let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother, are you still playing Ranked in the afternoon?"
"Let's play at night. I'll go practice my new hero first." Ye Shaoyang carried the stuffed cat into the study.
He opened the training camp in the game and set the difficulty to Nightmare Difficulty.
This was the most difficult part of the game's training mode. The intelligent AI would directly use X-ray vision. Even if you were hiding in the bushes, the AI would be able to discover you immediately. It would automatically avoid your skills and lock onto you to attack.
A nightmare AI was even more overpowered than a professional player.
After all, pro players had a chance of missing their skills. The AI would automatically make the judgment and hit them one by one.
Next, he wanted to practice the hero [Illusionist].
Ye Shaoyang created a 1v1 training room and changed different heroes to fight against [Illusionist].
There was an advantage to this training method. By watching the intelligent AI's operation, he could quickly familiarize himself with how [Illusionist] played against different heroes. For example, against [Frost Goddess], how would he avoid her Ice Control? Against [Destroyer Sorcerer], how would he avoid his ultimate move?
Since he could freely choose and change his opponents in the training mode, Ye Shaoyang used [Illusionist] to fight against more than 20 mid lane heroes. He quickly familiarized himself with [Illusionist]'s operation and the key points to pay attention to when facing different opponents.
He had also calculated the damage of all the skills of the [Illusionist]. These skills would cause different damage to the weak and the meat shields. This was because the initial defense of the meat shields would be higher.
The training camp's equipment and levels could be adjusted at any time.
Ye Shaoyang quickly found the equipment that suited him through many battles.
He clicked on the equipment inventory and quickly selected two sets of equipment for [Illusionist]. Qin Rui was dazzled as he watched him choose equipment. "Didn't the system recommend equipment? Brother, don't you need it? "
Ye Shaoyang said, "The recommended equipment might not suit me."
Qin Rui replied with an "Oh" and sat down to practice Hero. He curiously tried out [Lord of the Abyss] and found that it was too difficult to control the three shadows. He couldn't understand it at all. Qin Rui clicked on [Lord of the Abyss]'s equipment column and widened his eyes slightly. "Brother, the system recommended equipment for [Lord of the Abyss]. It says' Recommended by Little White '."
Ye Shaoyang opened [Lord of the Abyss]'s hero interface and took a look. Sure enough, the recommended equipment column was the equipment that he usually liked to use. There was also a 'Recommended by Little White' sign at the back.
When he was explaining his ideas for equipment to the netizens in the live broadcast room, he clicked on 'Recommended Equipment'. As a result, when he got first place in the national server today, the system synchronized his equipment plan to the game account and recommended it to all players in the server.
In the game, opening the information page of each hero could lead to the specific area for that hero's strategy.
He clicked on the area for [Lord of the Abyss] and found many comments.
Who is Little White? Awesome, he took down the national server so quickly.
Little White is a streamer on the Whale Platform. He has been streaming the lessons of [Lord of the Abyss] for the past few days.
I'll search for it. I want to learn how to play this new hero.
This idea is quite good. I tried it and the actual combat control is very smooth.
…
The official recommendation was the best advertisement.
There were more than 200 million players in the Chinese server of War of the Gods. As long as people were interested in the new hero, they could click on [Lord of the Abyss] and see the name 'Little White' in the national server. People kept searching for him and found his live broadcast room.
This afternoon, after the official recommendation was refreshed, his live broadcast room gained more than 100,000 followers in just a few hours. Many people were urging him to come and play ranked matches. Everyone wanted to learn about the new hero.
Ye Shaoyang was not in a hurry to increase his popularity.
He made a new plan for his upcoming schedule.
He woke up at 7: 30, washed up, had breakfast, and fed the cat.
From 8: 00 to 10: 00, he spent two hours in the Robot Training Camp. He practiced the mechanics of different heroes, memorized the damage data, equipment data, and grasped the skills of different heroes.
From 10: 00 to 1: 00, he spent three hours playing ranked matches and streaming the national server.
From 1: 00 to 2: 00, he took a lunch break to feed the cat and play with the cat stick with Little White.
From 2: 00 to 6: 00 in the afternoon, he watched the videos of the Pro League.
As an outsider, he needed to understand the lineup restraints in these high-end competitions as soon as possible.
From 8: 00 to 12: 00 in the evening, he continued to play ranked matches.
This way, he would have two hours a day to practice his mechanics, including the most basic mechanics, skill release accuracy, positioning skills, and so on. He could practice them all in the training camp.
In the afternoon, he would spend four hours watching the competition videos to improve his field awareness and understanding of the lineup.
Every day, he would spend seven hours playing ranked matches. He would practice his mechanics and accumulate actual combat experience.
His schedule was very full, but it was also very fulfilling.
It was as if he had returned to the time when he was at GD Team's base. Every day, he would practice this kind of boring and boring practice. He could practice a single positioning hundreds of times.
This was the profession he loved. He had long been accustomed to it.

Qin Rui did not mention playing with Ye Shaoyang again. His brother was getting better and better. He was already in the 30-50 star range of King of Glory. The teammates and opponents he was matched with were all very strong. Qin Rui really did not understand the support of high-end games. He did not want to be thick-skinned and drag his brother down. Being brought to King of Glory by his brother was enough for him to be proud of in front of his classmates for a long time.
Thinking of this, Qin Rui took the initiative to say, "Brother, I don't want to play ranked matches with you anymore. I'll go play matches casually. You don't have a moderator in your livestream room yet, right? I'll be your moderator. If someone scolds you, I'll ban them. "
Ye Shaoyang smiled and looked at his younger brother. "Okay. Before school starts, help me out as a moderator for a while. When I earn some money in the future, I'll give you a big gift. "
Qin Rui said happily, "I heard that the courses in our major are quite easy. I have a lot of time. I can continue to be your moderator in the future!"
That night, Ye Shaoyang used [Lord of the Abyss] to play a few ranked matches again. He also recorded a hero teaching video and put it in the livestream room for new netizens to watch at any time.
The netizens also noticed that there was a moderator in Little White's livestream room called Xiao Rui.
From the next day onwards, Ye Shaoyang implemented a new schedule.
At 8 am, he would go to the Human and Machine Training Camp to practice for two hours on the Nightmare Difficulty. At 10 am, he would play ranked matches.
He changed the name of the livestream room to [Lord of the Abyss has taken the national server].
The netizens who followed Little White's livestream realized that the livestream room lit up at 10 am on time. It showed that the host was online. Everyone clicked in to watch the livestream.
Why does the host wake up so early?
The host is so dedicated. He broadcasts at 10 am every day!
Wait, I noticed that the name of the livestream room has been changed. Little White, are you going to take the national server logo of Illusionist?
The number one Illusionist in the country is A Yuge. Is the host going to go down the road of "slapping A Yuge in the face"?
The newbie only knows how to create hype. Stepping on A Yuge to get to the top, shameless!
If you have the ability, show your face. You're just a cat trying to act cute. You're probably too ugly to look at.
Little White, you're really shameless. Do you think it's that easy to take the national server? Hehe.
— [Yu Bupo] was muted by moderator Xiao Rui.
— [Little Angel Princess] was muted by moderator Xiao Rui.
Qin Rui banned several IDs in a row.
The livestream room was flooded with comments. "Moderator 666!"
Ye Shaoyang ignored the haters and said, "I'll use [Illusionist] to play ranked matches this week and take the national server within a week. Next week, I'll switch to another hero to take the national server."
The netizens: "???"
F * ck, do you think the national server is free and you can take it whenever you want?
One national server per week? Are you serious?
The host is so arrogant. I like it!
Young people should be more wild! Who would angrily say, "Hello, can I kill you?" when playing a game?
Come on, host. I'm rooting for you. Take down the national server and shut the haters up!
Ye Shaoyang didn't care about the netizens' praises.
He pressed the ranking button and started to play the game seriously.
***
10: 30 AM, Jing Zhe Team's base.
Coach Chen had two dark circles under his eyes. He sat in front of the computer and yawned as he opened Little White's livestream room.
The word "Victory" popped up in the livestream room. On the panel, [Illusionist] was the MVP. His score was 12-0-4. His overall score was too high. He gained more than 400 points in one game.
Was it so cruel for an illusionist to kill 12 people in one game?!
Coach Chen's sleepiness instantly disappeared. He rubbed his eyes and said, "He stopped playing [Abyss Master] and changed to [Illusionist]? He wants to take down [Illusionist]'s national server? "
Xie Yuan also walked over and sat beside Coach Chen. She said, "The national server's first place was taken by host A Yuge. It seems like Little White caught A Yuge and slapped him in the face."
Support Li Yunmo said coldly, "Didn't A Yuge say that the professional players in the Chinese server are a bunch of cowards who only know how to embarrass themselves in the international tournament? Now, he can't even keep the national server of his signature hero. "
Coach Chen was deep in thought. "Catching someone in the face and punching them in the left and right? Little White's attention has been increasing rapidly these days. Most of it came from A Yuge. Is he trying to step on A Yuge to get to the top? "
Xie Yuan laughed. "Didn't A Yuge step on the entire eSports scene to get to the top? He deserves to be punished by the new host. "
In reality, Ye Shaoyang didn't have the intention of stepping on anyone to get to the top.
He just wanted to take the national server logo.
The national server logo of [Lord of the Abyss] was far from enough to prove his strength.
The most important problem was that he was already 21 years old and hadn't split yet.
He did some research and found that most of the youth trainees in this world started competing in their teens.
When they split into the second gender between 16 and 18 years old, their bodies and minds would gradually become more stable. Their hand speed would also be at its peak. Esports players around the age of 18 were the easiest to achieve. Players above the age of 20 were basically the aces of the eSports scene and the main force of their respective teams.
When others heard that he started competing at the age of 21, their first reaction would be, "It's too late."
Therefore, he had to be many times better than the rookies in the youth training camp in order to gain the favor of the coach.
He couldn't go to the youth training camp as a rookie and start training from scratch. If he did that, he would be over 22 years old by the time he officially started competing. It would be best if he could be in the starting lineup in the next season.
However, he also knew that for any team's coach, it was very risky to let a 21-year-old player who had "never competed" in the starting lineup. It was equivalent to bringing an "overaged rookie."
He couldn't tell others, "Actually, I've played hundreds of competitions in my previous life and have a lot of experience." It was difficult to explain things like soul transmigration. Therefore, he had to rely on his own excellence to make the coach let go of his prejudices.
Now that he didn't have a way to compete to prove himself, the simplest and most brutal way was to take the national server logo.
As long as he took the national server rankings of many heroes and became the "passerby king," teams would naturally notice him and offer him an olive branch.
