453:The charm of patches(1/2)
"Jack Dirty Dancing, what do you mean?"
When Xiangguo saw him, he rushed forward and locked Yu Wenbo with his arms, as if he was applying a UFC move.
"You like to laugh, right?"
He gritted his teeth.
Jack didn't know why. The incense pot was not locked tightly, but he could still speak normally, "Hey, what are you doing... What's wrong with you laughing twice?"
"Why don't you just win a regular season game," Liu Shiyu said angrily, "Why are you so arrogant?"
"Everyone has glorious moments, don't take a moment as eternity!"
Upon hearing this, Jack knew that he had been wronged and felt very aggrieved.
"Your mother's kiss, my brother was obviously making fun of Ming Kai, does it have anything to do with you?"
"Don't fight anymore," Gu Xing tried to persuade him from the side, "Let go of Xiangguo first, so as not to cause trouble later."
"Don't worry," Liu Shiyu puffed out his bony chest and vowed to his friend, "I have the sense to strangle him to death."
"No..." Gu Xing was silent for two seconds, "I mean I'm afraid that Jack will hurt you when he resists, and we won't be able to explain anything like fractures or something."
Shi Senming, who was standing aside, laughed so hard.
Xiang Guo looked down at his thin arms, then at Jack's arms.
The two are about the same height, but after Yu Wenbo was fed by the breeder, his body shape was obviously two circles wider than him!
Given the weight difference here, if Jack struggled desperately, he might actually be able to damage the arm of the incense pot.
Liu Shiyu let go of his hand, still muttering: "The locking skills Uzi taught me are useless..."
The animated picture of Uzi's dormitory is a joke, but he himself has actually practiced boxing and fighting, and his fighting ability is pretty good among the Internet-addicted teenagers.
Xiangguo secretly learned two tricks a few days ago when he had nothing to do. Now he has learned and used them on Jack, but he ignored the physical differences.
After hearing this, Gu Xing agreed, "Quie, Wuzi can't do it."
Liu Shiyu:?
After the four people went out, they took a taxi and left the venue. The three people sitting in the back seat were a little crowded, but fortunately several professional players were on the thin side, so it was no problem at all.
After crossing the Huangpu River through the tunnel, you will arrive at the Bund from Pudong Super Brand Square.
The bustling scene of Shanghai City bloomed in front of them.
Although everyone lives in Shanghai, most of the e-sports bases are located in the suburbs - except for IG who lives in the World Trade Center Riverside Garden.
In addition, my work schedule is different from that of the general public, so it is difficult to see such a gorgeous night view.
The Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance is brightly lit, and its reflection is cast into the river bottom. It does not seem inconsistent with the old buildings on the Bund, but highlights a sense of integrated beauty.
Gu Xing raised his phone and took a few photos to share with his girlfriend, and received a reply within a few seconds.
It's also a photo.
The exterior view of the Tencent Building in Shanghai.
I guess she just got off work.
However, the Tencent Building in the picture is brightly lit, and presumably there are many migrant workers working inside.
Gu Xing typed a concerned greeting, "What are you busy with? You get off work so late?"
The match between VG and RNG was scheduled for the prime time slot at seven o'clock in the evening. Even though Gu Xing and others ended the game at the speed of light, it was considered the time for the group interview session, and it was now close to 10 o'clock.
In any city, it is late to get off work.
PatrickStar: [The team responsible for updating the national server has been short of manpower these two days, so I was transferred to help. The work is quite intensive, so I have to work overtime for a while]
An intern is like a brick, moved wherever needed.
After all, he is highly replaceable and is a pure tool. It is not uncommon for Shen Guanshan to change jobs temporarily.
Gu Xingren was tall and tall, and was placed in the passenger seat by his friends. Listening to Jack and Xiao Ming in the back row arguing about the content of the game, he slumped in his seat and chatted with his girlfriend.
[Is it version 7.14 that needs to be installed?]
Shen Guanshan first sent a message to report that he was safe, announcing that he had got into the car of the veteran driver Gu Pan, and then answered the subject's question, [Yes, 7.14, Kayn's online patch]
Gu Xing understood in his heart.
Since the operating rights of the national server are in the hands of Tencent, they are naturally responsible for the Chinese version of the updated version.
Thinking of this, Gu Xing was confused, [It shouldn't be, the update speed of the national server is a week slower than that of the foreign server, why are you so busy? 】
The national server now needs to be localized and reviewed, and the installation speed of the version is often much slower.
But in Gu Xing's opinion, one week is definitely enough.
Since we don’t need to produce the code, wouldn’t it be better to adapt it and test it online?
Shen Guanshan enjoyed the free pick-up and drop-off service provided by his sister-in-law. Occasionally, when he stopped at a red light, he would feed the other party a sweet potato and spend the rest of his free time chatting with his boyfriend.
[You are too young and too naive to underestimate the difficulty of updating the national server. What price should be set for the skins, which ones should be limited, and the probability adjustment of the lottery activities should all be discussed in a meeting, okay? 】
Gu Xing was speechless.
The national server operates independently and has its own currency system. It is different from the unified selling price of the foreign server. Queshi has to consider pricing issues.
Shen Guanshan sent another message, [And the superiors are currently urging us to improve the efficiency of version updates and strive to catch up with the progress of the international server. This is why everyone has to work overtime. I heard from my colleagues that one week behind the foreign server is the improvement. As a result, it is normal for the S5 to be slower than half a month]
When talking about this, Gu Xing became interested.
[I know, Imp complained to me at the time...]
He told his girlfriend the ins and outs of this past incident.
In the S5 season, the national server update speed is slow.
On September 24, 2015, Tencent launched patch 5.18, which was also the version of the global finals that year.
And October 1st is the start day of the group stage of the World Championship!
Only one week apart!
Even when the three teams flew to Europe, the host venue, the national server was not updated to version 5.18!
At that time, the Optimistic Team could only adapt temporarily after arriving in Europe. During this period, they had to cooperate with Riot Games in filming and rehearsals. It is conceivable that they did not have much energy to train!
Other teams have been playing 5.18 for three weeks, and the LPL division has been rushed into battle after one week of running-in. In addition, the training team is not as good as Europe and South Korea, which led to the S5 group stage encountering Waterloo on the first day, and IG even contributed to the scene of surrender!
The S5 World Championship is also the first time that the LPL has tasted the severe pain caused by version changes.
From the MSI championship that year to the peak performance of WE, the last place in IEM, defeating the Tigers, the first place in the LCK spring regular season, to the clown performance in the top 8 and top 16 of the global finals, one version is enough.
Last year, when Imp was in VG, he frequently criticized the version update speed of the Chinese server.
He believes that the time it takes to adapt to the version is too short, which is an important reason why the Optimistic Team failed in the S5 World Championship.
Of course, this is the opinion of Goo Sung Bin. As a member of LGD, he will inevitably avoid his own problems and focus on the influence of the outside world.
As a spectator at that time, Gu Xing felt that LGD was inflated, and there was also a turmoil with the coaching staff. Taobao Quan was playing against the opponent's 4ap lineup and produced a blue shield. If you don't lose with the hot man making iron, who will lose?
Shen Guanshan is very interested in the interesting stories about the e-sports industry shared by her boyfriend - but even if Gu Xing posts some nonsense from anecdotes, she is quite willing to listen.
PatrickStar: [Weren’t we going to the Korean server at that time? The version update there would be faster]
Gu Xing's fingers quickly tapped the keyboard of his mobile phone, [Well, Que, everyone was playing on the Chinese server in those years, otherwise there would always be people who liked to brag about how valuable Ionia was in those years? 】
At that time, the trend of going to the Korean server for training had not yet formed, and the national server was a free-for-all between talented teenagers and professional players.
For example, LPL players such as Xiye, Xiangguo, and Flame Rat are all competing in Denyi, and the intensity of the top qualifying matches is really high.
We only occasionally go to the Korean server to play a few games when we have appointments with LCK teams for training matches.
Since the humiliating defeat in the S5 World Championship, LPL teams have paid more and more attention to the version and competition training, and the coaching staff has also changed from full-time takeaway gourmets to part-time.
Therefore, the version update speed is faster, the ranking style is more in line with the competition system, and the Korean server with more professional players has become the default training server for major teams!
Gu Xing, Jack, TheShy and others took turns reaching the top in the S6 season, which was the last afterglow of Ionia's thousand-point champions.
The departure of talented young people and professional players quickly transformed the e-sports high-end segment into an e-sports Hengdian, filled with film crews.
Gu Xing was chatting with his girlfriend about all kinds of interesting things caused by the slow update speed of the national server version on the eve of the S5 World Championship, and suddenly he pointed his finger.
etc……
World Championship version?
This is closely related to VG’s hidden tactics!
As long as the patch content is finalized and implemented in the client, the team can do whatever they want!
Even if the sky is broken, there is nothing the designer can do!
Gu Xing hissed lightly and asked Shen Guanshan another question, "When will this year's World Championship version be launched?"
The change of topic was a bit abrupt, but Shen Guanshan was not surprised - after all, this sudden switch in brain circuits was something she passed on to her boyfriend.
After thinking for a moment with his super memory ability, Shen Guanshan came to a conclusion, [According to usual practice, the World Championship should be the 18th or 19th edition every year...]
[Each version lasts about two weeks. I calculated that the US server version 7.18 will be updated around September 10th, and 7.19 will be updated on September 24th. The launch of the national server will be postponed for another week]
To be continued...
