In the first month of 2020, in the 09 of Douyu Live, it was quietly stopped.
This is not in keeping with his usual high-profile style.
Only recently, he appeared on his wife's Weibo live broadcast and said that the ceiling of the live broadcast industry is now too low, his fan popularity has passed the rising period, coupled with family reasons, he no longer wants to continue to engage in the development of live broadcasting.
In the dota circle, this high-caliber student of Zhejiang University, who claims to have been a "struggle" all his life, is the most contradictory individual in the eyes of the knife circle water friends, and the titles of world champion, businessman, pork incident, and president of the Whampoa Military Academy have made it controversial.
Perhaps for 09, he believes in the words of his narration video "Silent Monologue", until you have not made achievements, the world will not care about your self-esteem!
Small-town youth arrived in greater Shanghai
In March 1987, Wu Sheng was born in 2009 in Yongji City, Yuncheng, Shanxi, a small town with a population of less than 500,000, and it is estimated that many people have never heard of it.
He grew up in a factory compound, and his father was a smiling craftsman. Since childhood, Wu Sheng is "someone else's child", he had excellent results in junior high school, successfully passed the admissions examination of Shanghai Yucai Middle School, Shanghai Yucai Middle School is the first batch of key middle schools in Shanghai, when the entire Shanxi Province also had only a few places.
The 16-year-old small city youth still left his parents and went to the big city of Magic.
All the choices a man has made up his life.
But life is so short, how can you not choose the wrong one?
When he first landed on the beach, Wu Sheng sighed at the freshness and prosperity at the same time, but more pressure. And the road to Shanghai drift after that, but his choice is more intense and cruel.
He must pay more efforts than his classmates to stand on the same level as his local classmates, and he is doomed to the extraordinary life of 09.
Gambled and won the entrance to Zhejiang University
In the three years of high school in Shanghai, Wu Sheng's goal was no different from that of most high school students, desperately studying and entering a good university.
After the college entrance examination, Wu Sheng applied for Zhejiang University, when the college entrance examination model was not yet parallel volunteering, when the family knew that the score line of Zhejiang University in previous years was 20 points higher than the score of Wu Sheng's mock test, they did not agree with him in any case.
Wu Sheng still insisted on his choice and filled in Zhejiang University. Wu Sheng's bet was right, Zhejiang University in the Shanghai area admission score line "small year", he finally entered zhejiang university with a relatively low score of biological engineering.
From the point of filling in the volunteer form, Wu Sheng proved his courage and determination in dealing with key issues. Looking at the current doret circle, it is almost impossible to find such a person.
Successfully entering Zhejiang University gave Wu Sheng a strong sense of self-confidence.
That girl of the Orchestra
In 2005, Huang Yida's "That Girl Said to Me" became a big fire. After entering Zhejiang University, wu sheng's adolescent hormones erupted, and the emergence of "that girl" became another turning point in his life.
Before meeting "That Girl", Wu Sheng had not been exposed to online games for a long time. Because "That Girl" loves to play "Jin Orchestra", in order to have a common topic with the girl she likes, this "good boy of other people's family" plunged into the Internet café, and in such a game with opponent speed and operation requirements, he revealed his talent skills and took down the ID: 2009 (hereinafter we will abbreviate "09").
After that, in 2009, this ID rushed out of the Internet café and resounded throughout the world's Dota circle, but few people know that this ID originally came from the Jin Orchestra.
Wu Sheng's enthusiasm for the Jin Orchestra did not last long, and he was quickly "circled" by another game, which is DOTA. At that time, Dota was popular in China, especially on college campuses, and Dota became the girlfriend's biggest competitor.
Zhejiang University Varsity Team 09
Soon after coming into contact with dota, Wu Sheng showed his game talent, and he easily won the opponent from Tiannanhaibei on the battle platform, becoming a veritable passerby king player. The feeling of being alone on the platform has made it difficult for Wu Sheng to find the meaning of playing dota.
Successfully joined the varsity team and became the captain. He led the varsity team AVNC to beat the championship-winning team Html to autism. So, he planned to win his own e-sports championship without hesitation.
At that time, when e-sports was still used as an Internet drug, Yang Yongxin's Zeus electrotherapy was promoted, parents were afraid of fear, and Internet addicted teenagers became a derogatory term. At that time, the best-paid EHOME salary was only in the early 1,000s, and Professor Tao was rampant, advocating that he was addicted to the game and wanted to be arrested and rehabilitated.
A high-achieving student at Zhejiang University did make such a choice. It's nothing less than madness and neurosis.
But 09 left only one sentence, he said to his father, "If you don't give me this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”
Join Ehome in winning the championship and stealing money
In May 2008, the Shanghai Drift teenager went north and became the Beijing Drift teenager. At the recommendation of Huang Xiang Longdd, he joined Ehome, and 09 became teammates with Longdd, DC Devil King, etc. (Dog Brother Sansheng also stayed briefly).
On the eve of the 2008 PGL 2008 competition, Wu Sheng received a disciplinary notice from Zhejiang University, because he abandoned almost a year of his studies, ordering him to return to school and pass the exam before the end of the semester, otherwise he would face the penalty of withdrawal.
At this point, Ehome had signed up for several races. Faced with a life choice, he finally decided to participate in the competition with the team, and won the third season of PGL 2008, the GOA League Championship, the WCG Finals, the G League Championship, and the ACG Asian Cup.
In the final of the solo tournament in SGamer in 2009, Dionysus left a "typing and killing chicken" operation and the famous sentence "I want to win this game, sorry!" that shocked the DOTA circle, and cut Longdd under the horse, completing the life transformation from the king of passers-by to the champion.
When Ehome won the championship consecutively, it was caught in the storm because of 2,000 yuan.
At that time, ehome manager 71 said that the club's money was missing 2,000 yuan in the bag, and questioned whether the money was taken by 09. In this regard, 09 resolutely denied it and recommended calling the police. The two sides argued for a long time without result, and this farce was like falling into a Rashomon, which did not end, and still has no results.
This also became the trigger for 09 to leave Ehome.
The world's first title in the history of domestic DOTA
After Ehome won a series of competition championships, 09 submitted more than 09 applications for admission to Zhejiang University, and chose to retire and return to school to complete his studies. But when facing graduation, 09 made a big gamble on his life and suddenly decided to form an FTD team to prepare for the world-class competition IEM.
In just one month, 09 completed the projects of team member running-in, team management, daily training, etc., and won the IEM championship in October. In November of the same year, 09 boldly tried the club system, changed its name to SGTY, and won the SMM2009 World Championship (the first world championship in the history of domestic DOTA) with teammates ZSMJ, Koike and others.
The championship also broke the monopoly of dota champions in Europe and Southeast Asia, ushering in the era of CNDOTA being the first in the world.
In those years, the place where Chinese players appeared represented absolute dominance, and almost everyone fell into the illusion of the time.
In 2010, SGTY was sponsored and renamed the LGD Team, sweeping major events such as WCG, U9, ADC, G League, ESWC Qualifiers, etc., and 09 also successfully graduated from Zhejiang University. It can be said that LGD was the most professional, most formal, and best hematopoietic DotA team in China at that time.
Retirement as commentary
At the peak of his career, he made a decision that stunned the DOTA circle - to retire as a commentator (anchor).
It has created the most professional, most formal, and most hematopoietic DotA team in China
Interestingly, the 09 retirement as a commentator (anchor) is Haitao to lead the way. As one of the first to do video commentary, Haitao gave many development suggestions when he retired in 2009.
He is better than Haitao, which is not only the aura brought by his career, but also the quality of the videos themselves such as "from zero single row" and "Dionysus's big picture view" is enough to show the author's intentions in that era.
On Youku, Wu Sheng's "the truth is what it is, not what you see" is flanked by two eye-catching numbers, 610 million video views and 1.15 million followers.
09 is even more talented in business operations, he quickly used his achievements to punch those who questioned his retirement, and in less than half a year, he became the hottest DOTA video producer on the internet at that time. He explored the potential of video with goods, opened the "live broadcast + Taobao" model, and earned the first bucket of gold after the transformation. At the end of 2011, the profit in a single month could reach almost 200,000 yuan.
Tao 9 incident
After being successful in business, he was rejected by 09 because he wanted to participate in the commentary of the Starswar6 finals, so he sent a Weibo attack on Haitao. The "Tao 9 Incident" marked in the history of Dota was initiated.
Haitao said that I really regarded 2009 as a very good friend before, and taught him my own experience step by step. I was a friend of mine, and I could do anything for my friend, but gradually, I discovered 2009 and never considered me a friend.
In this incident, it was also dug out that the current 09 grams of LGD teammates' salaries were deducted (the sponsor increased the salary but 09 did not give the team members), and the incident was also confirmed by the LGD official.
At the same time as the success of Taobao business, there were also accidents. In 2013, it suddenly became apparent on the Internet that the product sold by 09 in the snack store was not made with real beef. Although there is no red line involving food safety, the news of "fake goods" has caused a huge impact on his brand image for a while.
In response, 09 replied that he did not know that what he was selling was not really beef making, and apologized to the audience in his video.
09 Business Empire
In addition to Taobao's operations, 09's business empire is also developing aggressively. He established Jiuguo Company and received an investment of 5 million yuan from 2 Jingwei. In 2015, Jiuguo received another 360 yuan to lead the investment and 30 million yuan to follow the investment of Jingwei.
09 began to try to develop mobile games and apps, but it seems to be unsuccessful, and the response in the industry is mediocre.
09 also rebuilt the FTD club, built the 09 e-sports platform, invested in Internet cafes and university student events, 09 hopes to integrate its business into a recyclable ecology.
FTD in the turret circle because it often sells players with development potential to first- and second-tier teams, so it is also known as the Whampoa Military Academy in the dota circle. Dota career circles that lack viability in the second and third tiers. It is not a miracle that FTD can survive for so long.
Old teammate ZMSJ
In the past few years, 09 has never stayed in Dota, League of Legends explains LOL when it is on fire, PUBG fire involves eating chicken, and has also broadcast the Glory of Kings live. However, none of this opened the market, and eventually returned to Dota.
In January 2019, chongqing major, when 09 and ZSMJ sat on the commentary table together, this picture did not know how many dota fans touched.
When they were on the field together, they created many miracles and happy games, won many championships, and left fans with good memories.
But off the field, there wasn't much intersection between them. In the live broadcast, at that time, he had not yet joined the OB, and he was not familiar with "Emotional Intelligence" ZSMJ frankly said that he and 09 were not the same person, more inclined to businessmen, and could not talk. When they were teammates together, 09 was more serious, and he was the leader and the boss, and he couldn't let go of his words.
ZSMJ also broke the news in the live broadcast that he sent a WeChat invitation to 09 when he got married, but did not get a reply from 09.
At this time, 09 does not seem to have time to pay attention to ZSMJ, who has no interest in himself, and his life after he turned to the business circle is more like opening and hanging, forming an anchor e-commerce agency operation platform, creating a 09 e-sports platform, creating a wucg university league, establishing a Yunhan Guild in Douyu, signing a live broadcast by himself, and becoming one of the top two big men in the e-sports circle.
Sophistication and profit
In 2018, after his contract with Panda ended, he began to re-broadcast on the Douyu live broadcast platform.
09, which joined the BASE CAMP of OB Live Broadcasting, had almost no contact with the OB crowd before. After the live broadcast of Douyu, 09 began to interact frequently with people such as OB and PIS.
This is also in line with the nature of 09, only dealing with people who have their own interests.
In 2019, the news of 09's marriage with Ge Xiaoyun was also once "exploded", and "Wang Sicong sent a luxury car as a groomsman" was several times on Weibo's hot search.
At the wedding scene, the OB crowd and the major anchors of the dota were also invited to the scene, including ZSMJ, an old teammate who had complained about it in the live broadcast.
Judging from this incident, 09's "businessman" nature in the knife circle is even stronger. In fact, "businessmen" are not good or bad, and everyone pursues different things. Combined with the background of working hard from a small county to a large Shanghai since childhood, we may give 09 more understanding.
In the deep-rooted environment of "no brothers, no turret", 09's life is indeed incompatible with it, becoming an "outlier" in the eyes of many dota fans.
Dream is a luxury word, everyone has a dream, at least 09 for the dream of persistence, dedication and courage, is most people can not compete.
Exit the live stream
With the intensification of the loss of game traffic in DOTA1, the popularity of the 09 live broadcast room in the past two years has become lower and lower, and it has not the grand situation of the stars and the moon in the past year.
Even after joining the fighting fish, the heat of 09 still did not improve. Under the premise that the knife circle live cake has basically been distributed, 09 Whether it is live dota 1 or dota2, it is difficult to create brilliance, and it is reasonable to consider quitting live broadcasting.
It is conceivable that 09 after withdrawing from the live broadcast may "break" with everyone in the turret circle.
Looking back on the dota career in 2009, controversy and achievement coexist. As a high-achieving student and talented game player of Zhejiang University, 09's admiration has never been game talent, but the overall situation and determination at the key turning point of life.
He had both the courage to retreat from the rapids and the courage to become the first crab eater. This is what each of us gradually dreams of, the most lacking.
