Chen Guo was speechless, but she still followed Ye Xiu to watch the match between Tyranny and Excellent Era. This time, she wasn't watching for fun, nor was she enjoying the atmosphere with a bunch of like-minded people. This time, she was truly appreciating the match and studying the match.
Ye Xiu explained the reasoning behind Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock's positioning in detail to Chen Guo. Chen Guo suddenly felt as if she had seen a whole new world.
The rest of the viewing wasn't like watching a broadcast. There were many places where Ye Xiu would stop and then switch back to watching from different angles. Only then did Chen Guo realize that Ye Xiu wasn't watching a live broadcast of the match, but rather a recording that would be uploaded to the official website after the match.
This was the same as a recording of a player's match in the Arena. When the recording was played back using a dedicated Glory recording, the player could freely switch between different angles. Without a doubt, if one wanted to study the match, one would need to use this sort of recording.
However, this sort of recording definitely needed to be downloaded. It wasn't a small file either. Right after Chen Guo left, Ye Xiu started watching the recording. This meant that he had downloaded the recording long ago and was preparing to study the match. It wasn't something he had done on the spur of the moment.
As expected of a professional … Chen Guo silently muttered to herself. She was a bit distracted. This was because there were some places where Ye Xiu repeatedly watched, but didn't say anything. Chen Guo watched from the side twice, but she had no idea what he was looking at. Seeing Ye Xiu's serious expression, she didn't want to disturb him. She could only wander off on her own.
When Ye Xiu understood, sometimes he would tell Chen Guo, and sometimes he would just continue watching without saying anything. Chen Guo didn't say anything either. When Ye Xiu spoke, she listened. When Ye Xiu didn't say anything, she didn't ask.
Just like this, Ye Xiu spent an hour watching the match from start to finish. He wasn't done yet. After seeing the end, he went back to a few moments and looked at a few places.
Chen Guo also had a lot of feelings right now. She originally thought that she was familiar enough with Glory. The only difference between her and the pro players was in mechanics. But after listening to Ye Xiu's detailed analysis of the match, one detail after another, Chen Guo deeply felt that everything wasn't as simple as she thought.
She suddenly remembered the words that Ye Xiu had mocked Tang Rou: if you want to surpass him, you have to at least figure out how big the gap!
Chen Guo now realized that this phrase applied to her as well. It even applied to many veteran Glory players. The gap between them, who used games for entertainment, and the pro players, who used games as their goal, was something that they couldn't imagine.
"Mm, it's done." After Ye Xiu looked over a few more details, he nodded his head.
"You're done studying it?" Chen Guo asked.
"Pretty much!" Ye Xiu said. He created a new document on the table. The name of the document was "Tyranny VS Excellent Era." He added the date in brackets and then started writing.
Chen Guo watched from the side for a while. She realized that it was a summary of the match. Ye Xiu wrote down everything that Chen Guo had talked about in the document, preparing to record it down.
Chen Guo now knew that a real pro player had it much harder than she had imagined. It wasn't as simple as playing games and practicing every day and then going onto the stage to compete when the time came.
Chen Guo silently accompanied him. After Ye Xiu finished writing the document, he saved it. Chen Guo was shocked when she saw the folder she entered. Who knew how many of these similar documents were stored in this folder. They were named after a certain team VS a certain team and the date of the file.
"These …"
"Matches from the past two months," Ye Xiu said.
"You've looked at all of them?"
"Not really," Ye Xiu said.
"Can I take a look?" Chen Guo asked.
"Sure!" Ye Xiu moved aside. Chen Guo sat down and looked at the documents in the folder. Then, she clicked on one.
It was the same as the one that Ye Xiu had just finished writing. It was an analysis and record of some of the details of the match, from the tactics, to the mechanics, and even the player's mental state and judgment at the time.
"This is really too … too …" Chen Guo wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the right words.
"It's nothing. It's professional," Ye Xiu said disapprovingly.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Guo realized how hard it was to be a pro player. And if they really wanted to form a team, Ye Xiu would undoubtedly have to work even harder. Chen Guo hoped that she could help share some of the burden.
"There will be more in the future. You can help organize them and learn as you organize them. When your skill level is high enough, you can also try to write analysis reports," Ye Xiu said.
"How can I do that …" Chen Guo hurriedly said.
"Of course you can't do that now. I'm saying that if you really want to learn, then doing this kind of work shouldn't be a problem," Ye Xiu said.
"Then I'll try!" Chen Guo wasn't someone who didn't have confidence, but the problem was that in terms of Glory, compared to Ye Xiu, there weren't many people who could maintain their confidence.
"It's getting late. Let's rest! We still have to open for business at noon! "Ye Xiu said.
"Yeah, I'll rest. You?"
"I'll rest too." Ye Xiu said. A rare trace of fatigue appeared on his face. In Chen Guo's eyes, as long as it was in Glory, this person would always have boundless energy. But what was so special about tonight? They did a few Heavenly Domain challenges and studied a recording of a match. In that case, it seemed that these things were more difficult than leveling up in dungeons.
After the two tidied up, they each went to rest. This time, they naturally wouldn't stop until noon. When Ye Xiu woke up and came out of his room, he discovered that Chen Guo wasn't there anymore. He tidied up a bit and went downstairs. Sure enough, the Internet Cafe was already open for business. In the afternoon of the eighth day of the New Year, business was so-so. No one was very busy. Seeing Ye Xiu come down, the employees who had just returned from the New Year all greeted Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu looked around and saw Chen Guo at their personal computer. She was currently directing someone to fiddle with something. Ye Xiu recognized this person. He was in charge of maintaining the computers for Happy Internet Cafe. Normally, he wasn't at the Internet Cafe. Whenever there was a problem with the computers, he would be on call.
"What's wrong with the computers?" Ye Xiu went over and asked.
"I'm going to redo these computers. They'll be separated from the servers. The network cable will also be connected." Chen Guo said.
"Why?" Ye Xiu didn't understand.
"Because there's information that our team gathered. We can't be careless." Chen Guo said in a serious tone.
"You're not joking?" Ye Xiu was a bit doubtful.
"Of course. I've already moved that folder over to your computer's hard drive. Right now, only this computer has it. And I've just encrypted it. I'll tell you the password later. "Chen Guo said quietly.
"You don't have to be so dramatic." Ye Xiu also asked quietly.
"After all, this is an Internet Cafe. It's not like the Club. We have to be more careful." Chen Guo looked around cautiously. At this moment, it was as if the people sitting in the Internet Cafe weren't customers, but spies who had come to steal their confidential information.
"So it's like that ….." Ye Xiu nodded, but didn't say anything else. He felt that Chen Guo's actions were quite reliable. In the pro scene, the top teams all treated their equipment, tactics, and even analysis of their opponents as secrets. They wouldn't easily reveal them. Even though their Team Happy only existed in words, it wasn't bad to have this awareness early on.
"Little Tang isn't coming back today?" Ye Xiu watched as they fiddled with the computer, while chatting with Chen Guo.
"She called me. She'll be back tomorrow." Chen Guo said.
"She's been online quite a bit these past few days." Ye Xiu said.
"Yeah. You guys are taking advantage of this Spring Festival event again." Chen Guo said.
During the Spring Festival, the number of players online couldn't be said to be low, but the number of elite players from the top guilds who were online wasn't many. This phenomenon wasn't hard to understand. For normal players, during a rare holiday, it was normal for them to take time out to play games and have some fun. But for the people from the Club guilds, playing games was like work. When it came to the Spring Festival, if they didn't play games, it was like a holiday. As a result, not many people were dedicated to the Spring Festival. As a result, Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and Tang Rou's online rate during the Spring Festival was high, not low. The Spring Festival event's rewards were generous. After seven days, the three characters were in the top three of the tenth server level leaderboards.
Among them, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was in first place at Level 50. After him was Tang Rou's Han Yanrou, followed by Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist. They were all Level 49. The only difference was in experience.
"Will these three characters all be members of our team in the future?" Chen Guo asked. She was already seriously considering the matter of the team.
"I hope so!" Ye Xiu said.
"Who are you not sure about?" Chen Guo asked.
"Little Tang!" Ye Xiu said.
"So you're saying that Mu Mu will definitely join us?" Chen Guo said excitedly.
"I think she'll be happy with this choice." Ye Xiu said.
"Little Tang … … I'll find a chance to talk to her … …" Chen Guo said.
"Okay … …" Ye Xiu nodded his head.
"It's only three people. Of course it's not enough." Chen Guo said.
"Let's take it slow!" Ye Xiu said.
"I'm afraid these characters aren't enough, right?"
"People need to become stronger. Characters also need to become stronger. If it's just the current situation, then there's too many things that aren't enough. We don't even have enough people! "Ye Xiu said.
"Is a year and a half enough time?" Chen Guo said.
"I've never had a team before. This … … I also have experience!" Ye Xiu laughed.
"Tell me about your plans!" Chen Guo said.
"Our current problem is that we lack people. There are two ways to get people. One is to find and nurture them yourself. The other is to find people from other teams. We don't need to consider the second method before we enter the Alliance. Let's just pay more attention to those around us! Speaking of which, you've played Glory for so long. You've opened an Internet Cafe for so long. Do you have anyone you like? "Ye Xiu asked Chen Guo.
