Young people and middle-aged and elderly people sometimes look at each other unfavorably.
Young people think that the father of the middle-aged and elderly is too heavy, and they can't help but preach; the middle-aged and elderly laugh at the young people's milk smell, and the things you like, that are what we played with back then.
Edg won the championship and fell into the same trap in the field of public opinion.
①
Middle-aged and elderly people have the aesthetics of middle-aged and elderly people, young people have young people's ideas, always use the ideas of middle-aged and elderly people to speculate about young people, although it is not ancient, but with the ideas of young people to speculate on middle-aged and elderly people, I am afraid it is also difficult for strong people.
Everyone has been young, everyone will be old - just like the screen brush edg, he may represent a group of people's preferences, but the middle-aged and elderly people will therefore scoff, thinking that the country will not be a country, in fact, it is not necessary, to those of us after 70, 80, more or less have a similar experience, who has not yet had the experience of playing CS and playing the era of empire when they are in college?
It's just that we never thought at that time that the games we used to be purely as entertainment have become a thriving industry today.
When the Chinese team qualified in 2001, my roommate instigated a parade on campus, and I didn't participate because I was too lazy, but eventually I heard sporadic marches on campus.
In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the first match of the Chinese team against Costa Rica, the Xianghui Hall Auditorium was full, we witnessed the first World Cup match in the history of the Chinese team on the projection, although we lost, now that I think about it, it is still an indelible memory...
Who would have thought that after 20 years, the biggest dream of Chinese football now is to go back 20 years?
After edg won the championship, several of my peers expressed their opinions, meaning that e-sports is the trend, e-sports is the direction, and Chinese football has no future.
Indeed, if Chinese football is still in accordance with the current method, it is true that there is no future, but e-sports and football are not either-or, you live and die.
E-sports, is the young, Chinese football, is the old man:
Young people, who care about edg,
Middle-aged men, concerned about ed.
The sluggish middle-aged man envies the young man for a long enough time, and the young man who has been long enough envies the middle-aged man who has a car and a house.
Middle-aged and elderly people envy e-sports have concerns and traffic, but e-sports is facing a policy trend, and social opinion may not be friendly; young people feel that China's football foundation is poor and there is no traffic, but a top 12 game of the national football team is also easily on the hot search.
Each of them looked at each other with bad intentions, and they were speechless.

Many people express this view:
The biggest secret of the upsurge of e-sports is to pay attention to the user experience: good looking and fun.
Traditional sports, most or the audience economy, but e-sports, is the fan economy - the model has no advantages and disadvantages, suitable for good, but this era of mobile phones, the network, the energy of the fan economy seems to dominate the world.
But whether it is the audience economy or the fan economy, the ultimate foothold is that you have to have a good product, and you want users to have a good experience, which will last forever.
This is suitable for young people, but also for middle-aged and elderly people.
Around 2005, by chance, I interviewed several of the top e-sports players in China at the time in Beijing, one of whom was called Alex (Bian Zhengwei), whose team won the CS championship of a world series that year, and he was mvp.
I never thought that the cs that I went to the Internet café with my classmates in college would later enter the room and become a formal competition, nor did I expect that this mvp, who was once an echelon member of the Chongqing Hongyan team, a teammate of his in the echelon, and later Chen Yongqiang, who played for Shenzhen and Shanghai Shenhua.
He also laughed and said: "I originally wanted to play football, but I didn't expect the ball to be kicked out, and then I went to play games..."
That is, before my interview, just broke the incident of Chen Yongqiang being cut, MVP said: "We were not familiar at the time, after the news came out, I specifically confirmed that it was indeed him." ”
Pulled a piece of idleness: when I interviewed Alex, there were other people including Xiao T, Guang Mo, and Sha Ji Chun, although they were already the top celebrities in China, their training environment and income level were at a low tide of just starting out, and their heat was far from being comparable to football, and more importantly, uncertainty.
Is there a future and a future for this industry? Alex was very skeptical that he had given up football to engage in e-sports, whether it was a correct choice.
More than a decade has passed, and the answer is clear.
As for my peers' doubts about Chinese football, I can only say: policies and funds are inclined to football, making it into today's ghost:
Do not live by your own sins.
Poor results, poor image, the content of the game is unbearable, how to talk about the product experience? What about user experience?
However, scolding, judging that Chinese football has no future, is also too rash and arbitrary.
Middle-aged and elderly people have a mid-life crisis, but middle-aged and elderly people are not necessarily lagging behind.
After all, when the iPhone 1 came out, Jobs was 52 years old.
We, the middle-aged and elderly, encourage each other.
