Chapter 203: Cyber ​​​​isolating the country, communication barriers between the competition areas

"Ani, Saiyo!" Wei Chen greeted quickly.

Although I was surprised to meet players from other regions, I still had to show proper etiquette.

After all, we are away from home and come here as an official of the LPL region, representing the image of LPL and even Chinese e-sports.

Don't be embarrassed.

But having said that, his excellent Mandarin level is really unbearable to watch. Even a simple word like "hello" sounds a bit awkward.

It was a little awkward at first, but the next second, Li Xianghe was stunned, and then he actually replied in Chinese: "Nihao, weichanjiesu——"

His Chinese was halting and also had a strong peculiar smell.

The Chinese speak Bangla, and the Bangla speaks Chinese. The key is that there is a peculiar flavor in what they say, and the situation is somewhat awkward.

But Wei Chen was very shocked.

Li Xianghe not only greeted him with words, but also called out his name.

In contrast, for example, Zhang Jiale and others have also been catching up on game videos from other major regions and doing targeted research during this period.

But they have no knowledge or concern about any information other than the opponent's game.

Li Xianghe not only knows Zhang Jiale, he can even call out his own commentator's name.

This clearly goes beyond the scope of studying the opponent before the game.

"You actually know Lao Wei's name?" Zhang Jiale obviously thought of this as well, and asked curiously on behalf of Wei Chen.

Lee Sang Hyuk was stunned.

He has only been learning Chinese for a few months, and it has not been a systematic study, so his level is very limited.

It's okay to listen to some written language, but if you really want to use it in actual combat, it's obviously lacking in meaning.

"Contestant Zhang Jiale is curious about why you know commentator Wei Chen." A gentle voice answered her doubts in excellent Mandarin.

Li Xianghe was startled and turned around to see Zhao Enjing smiling at him.

This time, Zhao Enjing was brought out by the LPL team to allow her to use her language skills to host interviews with players from other regions.

Now seeing Lee Sang-hyuk from South Korea, she quickly got into work mode as she was working on a related profession.

Li Xianghe didn't know all this and had no experience of playing in other competition areas. He thought that Zhao Enjing took the initiative to help him out and was quite touched for a moment.

With the help of professional translation, the communication process became smooth.

"When League of Legends was first launched, I visited the Chinese community to learn the game."

"At that time, I read a lot of strategy articles written by players like Ye Xiu and Zhang Jiale."

"After the LPL started, I watched some LPL games, so I could recognize Wei Chen's commentary voice."

Lee Sang Hyuk explained.

"Wow, we have fans abroad!" Zhang Jiale was surprised.

"I didn't expect that I would actually get to watch foreign players' games and strategy analysis. It really broadens my horizons." Wei Chen was also amazed.

For them, it is indeed a very novel thing to ignore the competitions and forums in their own country and go to foreign regions to play competitions.

This is different from the e-sports information environment in Pei Yunteng's previous life, which was extremely open and had an incredibly fast flow of information.

I don’t know about other fields in the world of The King’s Avatar, but the field of e-sports can indeed be described as a “closed-door country”.

E-sports players in each region play their own games and are completely clueless about the playing styles, environment, players and even rules of other regions.

This is outrageous, but it is true. In the original timeline, during the 10th season of Honor of Kings, 301 bought a player named Bai Shu in the winter transfer window and took over the Knight account Tide from Xu Bin, who had already transferred to Tiny Herb.

Who is Bai Shu? He was a main player of a top-tier team in the Taiying Division. He had debuted for three years and was a rare overseas Chinese student in the Taiying Division.

But he is definitely a popular player in the Daiying division, and he can be found with just a few clicks.

The Chinese media spent more than a week and were unable to find out any information about him.

More than a week later, in the twentieth round, after 301 had let Bai Shu show off his face, it took the initiative to disclose Bai Shu's identity information.

The Chinese clubs only then realized that 301 had gone overseas and brought back a foreign student player.

What's even more outrageous is that even though Bai Shu's background and identity were already clearly known.

These clubs of Glory had to wait another three weeks, until Bai Shu led the 301 team to three rounds of big victories, and only then did they belatedly begin to investigate Bai Shu's game information.

This matter can no longer be described as outrageous.

You have to know that this is an e-sports competition, and it is an e-sports competition with detailed video records throughout the entire process.

As long as the clubs want, Bai Shu’s game videos will appear on their computers in half an hour at most.

It took five full rounds of competition, or five weeks, more than a month to find out the information of an already famous veteran player.

How should I put it? This can no longer be described as a lack of information.

It can be said to be a closed-door policy.

You know, let alone online events like e-sports, even traditional events like basketball,

If a good young player emerges in a country's league, NBA scouts will arrive to take a look within a week or so.

It took a week and a half to find the background of a player who was not an amateur, and it took more than a month to start studying videos of overseas leagues.

No technical limitations or conditional restrictions can be used to justify this. After all, even if a newbie is asked to learn the ropes from scratch, a week is definitely enough for him to go to foreign forums and check everything out.

The only thing that can explain this phenomenon is the atmosphere and attitude of the competition area.

The Honor Professional League, relying on its large size and power and the fact that it has no need to compete with foreign countries, adopts an attitude that the Celestial Empire has everything and is engaging in cyber isolation.

This habit has continued until now without any external factors reversing it.

As Lee Sang-hyuk talked about his previous experience of learning League of Legends under the translation of Cho Eun-jeong.

Several e-sports veterans looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Tell me, is it normal for someone like him to take the initiative to watch other regions' game videos when there are no international games?"

Relying on Li Xianghe's limited Chinese proficiency, Zhang Jiale lowered his voice and asked Sun Zheping.

"Who knows? But at least he must know us very well." Sun Zhe said with a grin.

"To be honest, I also felt it was quite strange when I first came back. You guys didn't care about foreign competitions at all." Lu Liang took over the conversation.

"It was fine that you didn't know me when I first returned to China ten years ago, but ten years later, with information technology so advanced, you're even too lazy to take the initiative to learn about players from other regions."

"And this is not just an isolated case, but a trend across the entire league, which is hard to understand."

"Don't you know how to build a ladder?"

　The first update, there will be two thousand more in a while.

　　I'm so tired. These days are really not a human life... Please give me some monthly tickets or something to comfort me.
