Hello everyone, I am You Xiaodao, bringing you a new issue of the Great God Show, telling the untold story of the game God Network and beyond.
If the miracle has color, it must be Chinese red.
If esports has a miracle, it must be sky.
Li Xiaofeng (Renhuang SKY), born on May 16, 1985 in Ruzhou City, Henan Province, is a Chinese e-sports champion, the first Chinese e-sports player, and the first e-sports world champion in Chinese history.
Because of his love of playing Terran heroes, he created his own SKY play style and won the WCG World Championship twice, so he has the name of human emperor.
He won the WCG World Championship twice in 2005 and 2006, and is still the only two-time champion in WCG history, and no other champion has ever won the record.
In 2006, Li Xiaofeng entered the WCG Hall of Fame, and his name has since been engraved in the highest hall of the e-sports industry, becoming an idol worshipped by future generations, a legend that needs to be remembered for a lifetime.
In 2008, Li Xiaofeng became the torchbearer of the Beijing Olympic Games, carrying the sacred duty of passing the sacred flame.
Li Xiaofeng has accumulated e-sports honors in this life, and there are too many medals and glory.
It's just that his road to becoming an emperor is smooth and smooth, and it can even be said that the road is bumpy, which is not easy.
Young Li Xiaofeng is a smart and playful child, often skipping class to play games in Internet cafes, but he is repeatedly caught by his father.
Reprimanding and beating punishment control, Father Li exhausted all the ways he could think of, but he still couldn't stop Li Xiaofeng's enthusiasm and determination to play the game.
In 1998, under the introduction of his cousin, Li Xiaofeng made himself love the game "StarCraft" for the first time.
A magnificent game world opened its doors to him, and he was immersed in it for a long time.
A few years later, the technology of Li Xiaofeng's "StarCraft" has dominated the local area and swept through the players in the same city.
In 2001, he joined the Home team and started his journey as a professional player.
In that era, in the big public opinion, e-sports symbolized the crooked way, and the e-sports players were a group of Internet addicted teenagers who did not do their jobs.
Under that prejudice, e-sports players are under great social pressure, and their wages are pitifully reduced, and they are not even enough to feed themselves.
Even so, Li Xiaofeng has always insisted on his dream, vowing to enter the world championship and hang the five-star red flag on the highest podium of e-sports.
The following year, Li Xiaofeng hid from his father and cobbled together a few hundred yuan to go to Xi'an to participate in the competition.
Xi'an is the place where Li Xiaofeng's imaginary dream began.
Who ever thought that just in the first round, Li Xiaofeng's team was defeated miserably and directly brushed off in the sea selection.
Under the persuasion of his family, Li Xiaofeng went home to find a stable job and promised his family not to touch e-sports again.
The days were getting boring day by day, and when he worked, he always felt that he was the walking dead, like a cold working machine.
Only when he even sat in an Internet café playing games, Li Xiaofeng was Li Xiaofeng.
One day, the former captain called him, cared about his recent situation for a while, and finally said a message that made him feel excited.
Registration for StarCraft tournaments is now open!
A short sentence stimulated Li Xiaofeng's brain, and there was an indescribable excitement and yearning.
It turned out that he still couldn't forget StarCraft, and he couldn't forget the dream of the five-star red flag flying in the game world.
Li Xiaofeng counted his wallet and took out a bank card, and the whole person fell into a brief silence.
A total of less than two thousand pieces, which was already all his belongings.
The next day, Li Xiaofeng resolutely went to Wuhan, signed up for the divisional competition, and found a black Internet café.
Come to this Internet café for nothing else, just cheap.
He practiced his skills in the Internet café day and night, and gradually created his own SKY flow playing style.
Eat in Internet cafes, sleep in Internet cafes, and train in Internet cafes.
For almost a month, Li Xiaofeng did not take a half step in the Internet café, and the devil-like training made him reborn.
When he left the Internet café, the sun was dazzling, and he couldn't help but cover most of it with his hands, and it took a while to get used to coming.
The next day, the "StarCraft" Wuhan Divisional Tournament was held as scheduled.
This time, he did not live up to his efforts and dedication, and won the third place in the division that year.
In the following years, Li Xiaofeng frequently participated in domestic and foreign e-sports competitions and won many medals.
In 2005, the journey of dreams finally entered the temple of the world.
He swept through all the enemies in the WCG competition and successfully won the world championship in the war3 event.
The national anthem sounded, the five-star red flag was unfurled in the wind, and Li Xiaofeng stood on the podium, holding the trophy, and unconsciously burst into tears.
China's first e-sports world champion, the five-star red flag flying in a foreign country, my dream has come true!
History always remembers only the first person, and Li Xiaofeng has epoch-making significance in the history of Chinese e-sports.
Li Xiaofeng, who won the world championship, did not slacken off, but continued to improve his Terran SKY stream playing style.
For a time, sky stream swept the world, and in the game "StarCraft", no one could resist the invincible.
Without suspense, in 2006, Li Xiaofeng won the world championship of WCG again, becoming the only champion to win this award consecutively.
Li Xiaofeng did not succeed in winning three consecutive championships, nor did it affect his belief in becoming a Chinese esports player.
Today's Li Xiaofeng has long retired and successfully transformed into a businessman, but he has always paid attention to the e-sports circle and is using his own strength to discover and cultivate some talented players.
Such a person emperor SKY, do you also like?
