How to become an eSports player?

I see this kind of post again, cough, there is no way, please answer it seriously

When I just graduated from college (around 2008), I did semi-professional e-sports for a period of time Player, the project is Warcraft 3 battle (not DOTA)

First of all, if you want to take this path, your skills must not be bad. I won the 4th place in several large-scale competitions in succession (WCG , ESWC), was spotted by an amateur team, and joined them, and then began to enter the training stage. The best way to become famous is to play in competitions in sub-regions, such as WCG. I have played in the Chengdu Division for 5 years, and I dare not be too generous. I have the shame to say that I am a dark horse, but I can also say that I am a half-seeded player

After joining the semi-professional team, you need to formally apply for an athlete certificate, because once you enter this circle, you will play online games with those Internet cafes People are officially separated. Your job is e-sports and your identity is an athlete, so I went to the Sichuan Sports General Administration to apply for an athlete certificate (acquaintances can do it faster)

Then I started playing CWCL , it is a team competition. Here you can meet many people in the amateur circle, not only future stars, such as Lilliputian (later INFI), ANAS (formerly WE) and RABBIT (also WE), including those from major teams. Team leader. At that time, I met ED, the team leader of WE, EFENG (now I went to Panda with 3Dan and INFI). Later, I also got to know Straw Barbie and Ogura. We had a very good chat, so we became friends, and later we became friends. I got to know ZAX (the founder of RN) and Aspirin (the founder of RN)

The training in the semi-professional team was very tiring, but I was so enthusiastic that I persevered

After playing some games, I chose to give up. The reason is very simple. I have no results

The e-sports circle is very dark, not as dark as you can imagine. Match-fixing and other things are very common. Forget it.

Anyway, I had no results at that time. On the one hand, it was probably because my skills were not good, so I chose to quit.

Before quitting, I met SKY again in the game. Go drinking, SKY joked that the peak of e-sports is 22 years old. After 22 years old, people's reaction ability and coordination ability will decline. At that time, I thought SKY was talking nonsense after drinking too much. I didn't expect that SKY has now certified this sentence. The authenticity of e-sports

To put it bluntly, e-sports is just for youth. Don’t expect any security after retirement. If you have connections, you can join an amateur team as a team leader or coach to earn some pocket money. , but my only guarantee after retiring is to go to the master room of Haofang platform to play OB and a group of people can come and watch me play. This is enough for me

If it were in Korea, you would ask a child what he wants in the future. What are you doing? When a child says he wants to be an e-sports player, the teacher will praise him for his lofty ideals. Unfortunately, this is China. If a child says he wants to play e-sports in the future, the teacher will just slap him in the face.

Come on, I You were 18 when you entered the e-sports circle, right? At that time, I was just hanging out in the amateur world, and I didn’t really think about how long I would be able to hang out in the future. However, there were few classes in college, so I spent the rest of my time practicing. Wasn’t there a saying at that time that you will become stronger if you practice hard?

Anyway, my friend, I advise you not to take this road. This road may be a road to fame in Korea, but in our country it is just a dead end. By the time you want to turn back, it is already too late

There used to be a girl who also wanted to become an e-sports player, but I persuaded her to stop. If you want to read it that day, I will turn over the question and show it to you

I didn’t want to answer so many questions, so I gave it to you eloquently. My hand hurts after typing more than a thousand words, but I just want to give some guidance to the novices by the way. It’s a game. You can play it, but don’t take it too seriously. Otherwise, when you regret it, don’t forget that I warned you before, brother.
