In 2024, the Three Kingdoms Kill tournament system will be fully renovated.
On May 2, the large-scale event "God King Battle" opened in Wuhan, and the opening match of the 2024 Three Kingdoms Killing Club League also started at the same time. Both sides of the game, Zongheng and Shanmou, were former champion clubs, and in the end, the Zongheng team was superior and defeated the Shanmou team 20-11.
After the match, the players from both sides of the match sat in the lounge for interviews. The winning player Zhang Bo (ID: Zonghengtianguo) said with a smile: "Last year's opening game was that we played a good strategy, we won, this year's opening game is still our win, and the key to winning may be metaphysics." Xu Gaoxiang (ID: Shanmou Dulian), a player of the Shanmou team, disagreed, "The focus of the preseason is different, we are a slow-burning team. ”

Because of love, I changed careers
Before becoming a professional player in the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Bo was a designer, and Xu Gaoxiang was in charge of platform operations. Both turned to the esports industry because of their interests, which Xu Gaoxiang explains as "turning love into work".
Since the 2016 Three Kingdoms Killing Professional League, Xu Gaoxiang has participated in it, except for the two years that he did not play in the middle, he won the championship five times in six years, "At that time, I was playing and found that there was no opponent, so I moved the idea of becoming a professional player." Later, it was quite smooth. ”
"Duli is a top player in our circle, and we usually quietly watch his live broadcast and learn from him. Zhang Bo joked on the side.
Zhang Bo entered the industry later than Xu Gaoxiang, during the transition period, he worked two jobs a day, designing during the day and anchoring at night, until the income was basically flat, he completely turned into a professional player, "Doing design always has to meet the requirements of Party A, and it is difficult to satisfy them when you change it." Now I have nothing to do with my old business to make posters, it's quite fun. ”

Get out of the confusion and find happiness
When asked why they started the industry, both mentioned the word "love".
When doing operations, Xu Gaoxiang always needs to do some tentative work, and he is very confused by the change of orders, "I was actually a little confused before, but after changing careers, I will not get tired of doing what I like, even if I am dealing with the Three Kingdoms for more than ten hours a day." "Most importantly, his family is supportive of his job.
Zhang Bo's social sphere has changed more significantly due to the change of occupation. "I'm getting married with the help of the Three Kingdoms. He smiled shyly, "The two of us met through games, and then we fell in love with each other sweetly." The story may be prosaic, but it's something special to me. ”
Zhang Bo also had a moment of confusion when he first entered the industry, because of professional reasons, his life gradually became a little out of touch with offline, and he had less contact with friends, "At that time, I was in the fragmented stage of my whole life, on the one hand, I wanted to go out to play, but on the other hand, I had to stay online for work. Later, I slowly adjusted, separated my work from my interests, and deepened my connection with my friends. ”
Even after becoming a professional player, Zhang Bo still takes his friends to play Three Kingdoms, "I even quietly release water for my friends so that everyone can get a sense of achievement, so they are happy." ”

There is no other choice but to be a champion
Even though he has won five championships in six years, Xu Gaoxiang also has times when he wants to give up.
It was a non-professional final before he became a professional player, and for some reason Xu Gaoxiang's tactics at that time did not come out, and after losing the game, he chatted with his teammates in a café all night, "At that time, I thought about giving up, I felt very hard, but I didn't get the desired results." Later, I chose to try to adapt to the changes in the tournament, and after 35 consecutive wins in the tryouts, I thought I could try again. ”
"He is like a Wenyang in the Three Kingdoms, he has won a lot of honors, but the light has not completely radiated. Zhang Bo answered on the side, "I'm Liu Chan." Here is fun, not thinking. Don't think too much, don't run away, and face things with an optimistic attitude. Because of his profession, Zhang Bo will study the real stories of people in history and immerse himself in them.
Zhang Bo's creed in life is to let himself go. In addition to the competition, most professional players will choose to do some live broadcast work, and when the results are not good, they need to bear greater pressure from public opinion.
Zhang Bo, who is not internally motivated, imparted his experience: "Everyone will demand more from us, and once we lose, we will inevitably have radical comments." You have to regulate yourself, you can choose not to watch it for a while, focus on the game itself, it's as simple as that. ”
But since you have chosen the path of professional e-sports, everyone's goal is to win the championship, and at this point, Zhang Bo has to admit that "no one will remember how much effort you have made behind your back, you can only rely on winning the championship to realize the value, there is no other choice." ”
