EDG Esports Club.
"How's it going? What did Sanqing say?" The assistant coach looked over expectantly.
The coach shook his head and put down his phone: "Sanqing's statement is that the brain-computer interface is still in the research and development stage and is only for medical purposes. Moreover, it is a semi-invasive device and cannot be used on healthy people."
The assistant coach sighed: "Hey, I originally thought that after Sky lost his hand, there would be a way to extend his e-sports life. It seems that there is no chance. He can only retire obediently."
Sky is EDG's ace top laner and a former world champion. Due to long-term excessive use of hands, he suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome. His hands were severely damaged and he missed many major games. He was on the verge of retirement.
The analyst looked regretful and said: "He is only in his early 20s and has not played for a few years. How can a person with such a talent have such a useless hand? It is such a pity that he has to retire at such a young age."
"If you perform 400 operations per minute, exercise for ten hours a day, and practice continuously for several years, even your iron hands will be scrapped. Let alone your physical hands, your hands will be scrapped in three months."
"E-sports is a youth industry. There are many geniuses who retire in their 20s due to hand injuries. I originally thought that the emergence of brain-computer interfaces could save their careers in the workplace, but I didn't expect that the technology has not reached that stage yet."
The coach also sighed, but he immediately began to think about business.
He knocked on the table and said with a serious expression: "Okay, since this can't be done, we have to consider the new problems we will face after Sky retires."
"In the past, when Sky was here, our team was very strong, but now, the top laner who replaces him is not very good. This position has become the weakest link, and it is easy to be targeted during the game. "
"Well, there are two ways. But..."
"As we all know, our boss, ahem, pursues cost-effectiveness, so he spends a lot of money during the transfer period to introduce famous players. This road will not work."
"The best way is to train rookies. If there are any good prospects in the youth training team, they can bring them on as substitutes and play more games to see if they can be used."
The teaching assistant and analyst looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.
"The main reason is that Sky's decision to retire was made too suddenly and we were not prepared. I originally estimated that his injury improved in the first half of the year and he should be able to survive this year."
"I never expected that as soon as the intensity of training increased, it deteriorated drastically. Now I can't even pick up chopsticks."
"There is nothing he can do. The doctor said that his hands are similar to those of a person in his 50s and 60s. The nerves in large areas are damaged and he can no longer play games. If he continues, he may become disabled and completely lose the ability to take care of himself. .”
"That's the only thing. It will be good if we can keep our league ranking this year and don't fall too badly. We'll see if we wait for the transfer period at the end of the year."
After repeated discussions, the coach made the final decision with a sad face.
"Wait," the analyst suddenly thought of something and said hesitantly.
"You think, can a disabled person like Zhu Jun play games? He is so strong. Judging from his ranking results, he seems to be no worse than Sky. Moreover, he also has experience in playing e-sports. If he can play, he can supplement our team's strength. Shortcomings.”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of others suddenly lit up.
"It's not impossible. I remember that there was a precedent for disabled people to become professional players in foreign competitions. It seemed like a one-armed man with only one hand and one finger on the other hand."
The assistant teacher murmured to himself, as if he was remembering something.
The coach slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Why didn't I think of this? This is a good idea."
"The government does not prohibit disabled people from participating. In the past, they could not play because of physical reasons. Now their bodies are no longer a hindrance, and their strength has improved by leaps and bounds. They are no worse than top professional players, so why not let them play? Woolen cloth?"
The analyst hesitated: "But, he, he has a brain-computer interface. Isn't this cheating?"
The coach glared at him: "What are you talking about? That is an auxiliary device implanted in the body to help him use electronic products. It is just like the cochlear implant installed by a deaf person to assist hearing. It is perfectly normal."
"Cheating is illegal. It is the tampering of game data by illegal scripts. This brain-computer interface is connected to mouse and keyboard drivers and has not made any changes to the game itself. How can it be called cheating?"
"And the higher authorities have been encouraging people with disabilities to re-employ, and have even opened various e-sports classes to teach them to become e-sports professionals and reintegrate into society."
"If we can have the first disabled player in the league, it will not only enhance our own strength, but it will also be a very positive thing. From all aspects, it is a good thing."
"More importantly, I can save a lot of transfer fees."
The more the coach thought about it, the more excited he became. He took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"This is a great idea. I have to report it to the boss. If he agrees, I will go to Zhu Jun and sign him to play in the game."
****
In Sanqingyuan, as soon as Zhu Jun returned to his room, he received a call from EDG.
"What? You want to sign me to play professionally?"
Zhu Jun was stunned and couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
He shook his head, closed his eyes, and strongly suspected that there was something wrong with the mushroom soup he had eaten at night, causing his brain to hallucinate.
When I open my eyes again, everything is normal in the world.
Only the sound coming from the phone in front of me was unusual.
"That's right, we saw your performance in the qualifying match and admire your strength very much..." The other party continued to talk and persuaded vigorously.
Zhu Jun looked at the big pie falling from the sky and couldn't help but doubt his life.
When did he, a high-level paraplegic, sign with a professional e-sports team and play in games?
"Can the Alliance agree?" He interrupted the other party's story and asked.
"Domestic competition should be possible." The other party gave a positive affirmation.
"That's okay." Zhu Jun made a decision immediately and agreed without hesitation.
As long as the other party didn't lie to him, and as long as he could really play the game, he felt he could give it a try.
Anyway, he has nothing to lose.
Life has hit rock bottom and there is no room for decline.
"Can you tell me more carefully, what exactly do you want me to do? What position do you want me to play?" Of course, we still need to ask clearly about the specific work content.
"Our top laner Sky has decided to retire and is in urgent need of a substitute. Of course there are candidates in the team, but his strength is not satisfactory, so we thought of you."
"We have all seen your videos. The style is different from Sky, but the operational level is very similar. It is just that the rhythm of the game and team awareness are a little different, but this is not a big problem. With proper training, it can be improved."
The other party explained in detail: "If you come here, you need to be a substitute first, and then if there is a chance, you can participate in some games appropriately. Of course, the chance to play is not guaranteed. It depends on the training results and how well you work with the team."
"Salary is linked to performance. In the beginning we can only give you the salary of a substitute player. If you prove your ability, we will definitely give you what you deserve. Don't worry about this."
"In addition, if you achieve good results, the positive impact on society will be immeasurable, and the commercial value will increase. We will also write this clearly in the contract, and we will never treat you badly."
When Zhu Jun heard it, the other party explained it very clearly and the treatment was very reasonable. For a newcomer to e-sports, there was no big problem.
In e-sports, being poor is the original sin. If you are not strong enough and cannot get a high salary, it is normal.
Speaking so clearly proves that the other party is sincere.
"Okay, you prepare the contract and we will have an interview tomorrow." After thinking for a while, he agreed.
"Great, see you tomorrow. I look forward to cooperating with you." When the other party heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
After the two parties agreed on a time, they hung up the phone with satisfaction.
"Yeah! I didn't expect that with the brain-computer interface, I would have the opportunity to become an e-sports player."
“I am still young and have a long future ahead. I may only be able to compete in e-sports for one or two years, but the significance this will bring will be extraordinary. It will not only change my destiny, but also have a significant impact on others. "
"When a paralyzed e-sports player stood on the stage and won the game, he proved his worth."
"This scene will undoubtedly inspire millions of people with disabilities and help them regain hope in life."
“This is exactly the opportunity I’ve been dreaming of.”
When Zhu Jun thought of this, his heart suddenly surged and he was very excited.
Unexpectedly, Sanqing not only gave him a new life, but also reshaped his life path.
After ten years of hard work, he finally climbed out of the abyss of the disease. He was no longer confused or despairing, but found a new meaning in life.
"I must work hard and leave my name in the history of e-sports."
He secretly made up his mind, his whole body cheered up, and his face glowed with a strange brilliance.
****
A few days later, the EDG club issued an announcement that shocked the entire e-sports circle.
"Sky, the club's top laner, has decided to retire today due to injuries. We are very sorry, but we also support his choice."
"Sky helped us win world championships in past competitions and we are forever grateful for his hard work and dedication."
"The good news is that we have signed a new player, Jun, whose Chinese name is Zhu Jun. He is a disabled person who has become a monk on the way. He has outstanding strength and will represent the club in the canyon in the next game. I hope everyone can support it. he."
As soon as the news came out, not only the e-sports circle was in an uproar, but even netizens outside the circle were shocked.
"What the hell? Can people with disabilities also work professionally?"
"real or fake?"
"I know there are e-sports competitions for people with disabilities, but it seems that there are no people with disabilities playing professionally."
"There is a one-armed athlete in Eagle Country who has participated in professional competitions and achieved outstanding results, but he is the only example."
"This is outrageous."
"Even if Sky retires, no one can replace him, let alone a disabled person."
"Don't look down on the disabled upstairs. This Zhu Jun is different. He has a brain-computer interface installed, and his strength is no worse than that of professional players."
"I'm an outsider and I'm completely confused. Can anyone explain it to me?"
"To put it simply, he is a mental young man who has been paralyzed for ten years. He usually masturbates and masturbates, and broadcasts live broadcasts just in time. Then Sanqing installed a brain-computer interface on him and killed a bunch of noobs in the qualifying match. The anchor was attracted by EDG, who had lost his thigh, and became so sick that he sought medical attention."
"EDG is so lost. Just a few years after winning the championship, they no longer know who they are."
"As an EDG fan, I say without mercy that you can just go home and raise pigs this season, and let's fight again next year."
"IG, RNG fans are ecstatic."
"Don't be discouraged. Whether it's a donkey or a horse, you have to pull it out. Whether it works or not depends on the competition."
"EDG has a game next week, let's see how they play."
I have to say that the gimmick of disabled e-sports players is really effective in attracting traffic.
Now everyone knows that his family has an e-sports player who is a paraplegic.
EDG instantly became popular.
Regardless of the results of the competition, the advertising effect was immediately overwhelming, and the sponsors were laughing from ear to ear.
Soon, the first game started.
When the game was broadcast live, a large number of viewers came in regardless of which platform it was.
There are people who don’t play games, and there are also e-sports fans. They are all overly curious and come here for Zhu Jun, a disabled player.
They all want to see what kind of results a high-level paraplegic can achieve in front of professional players, even with a brain-computer interface.
At the beginning, EDG was playing regular players. Unfortunately, the opponent was strong and had a brutal style of play, so they were beaten without the ability to fight back.
After losing a game, both sides made substitutions, and Zhu Jun officially came on as a substitute.
As soon as he came on the field, he made an impression, killing the opponent alone in the lane.
In the subsequent team battles, he had a tough style, not only with perfect details, but also with frequent highlights, and his fighting style was also very fierce. He often got into confrontations with each other and punched to the head, making the opponent complain incessantly.
"2:1, let us congratulate EDG for winning the game."
As soon as the game ended, the host shouted excitedly at the top of his lungs.
"As a professional player with a disability, Zhu Jun turned the tide in his first game and became the focus of everyone's attention. He has become famous since then."
"Let's interview him."
The host ignored the others and jumped directly in front of Zhu Jun, handing the microphone to his mouth.
"How do you feel now? What do you want to say to the audience in front of the TV?"
Zhu Jun was sitting in a wheelchair, his face flushed with excitement.
He didn't expect that his performance on the field would be so good.
After just a week of running-in training, I easily adapted to the atmosphere and intensity of e-sports competitions. After playing, I devoted myself wholeheartedly and directly helped the team win the game.
At this moment, his heart was burning, like a volcano erupting and lava surging.
"I would first like to thank the EDG club for giving me an opportunity to participate in e-sports competitions."
"Secondly, I would like to thank my teammates. Without their tacit cooperation and constant help, there would be no victory in the game."
"Finally, I would like to thank Sanqing Group. Without the brain-computer interface equipment they developed, I would not be standing on the field today."
"I am able to stand here. In addition to my own efforts, I must also consider the development of society. It is precisely because of the power of Huaxia Technology that it can bring the opportunity to change everyone's life."
"Viewers, no matter what you have experienced in life or what difficulties you have, believe me, they are all temporary. Everything will pass eventually, and you must persevere."
"Remember this sentence, there will always be a rainbow after the storm, and there is no threshold that cannot be overcome in life."
"As for my disabled friends like me, I hope you can never give up, live for yourself, and be a true fighter."
"Look at me and you'll know that I can fuck you too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the competition venue.
Countless netizens were moved to tears and their blood boiled when watching this scene.
They were all touched by these words.
I saw the powerful power of spiritual will.
Relying on this power, Zhu Jun not only fought against the disease until now, but also relied on the brain-computer interface to regain his life and stand on the world stage.
Some people may say that this is the power of technology, just like a pig standing in the wind and being blown into the sky.
But if it were a weak-willed person, he would not be able to withstand the emergence of the storm, nor would he be able to get in front of it.
With tears in their eyes, everyone vaguely seemed to see their own shadow in Zhu Jun.
It turns out that in this world, such huge energy can burst out.
When a person strives for self-improvement and never gives in, even the gods and Buddhas cannot stop him from moving forward.
So, change it to yourself.
Maybe, I can do it too!
This is what everyone is thinking in their hearts.
