Chapter 732 History

"Let's go, we have nothing to do. Let's go to the memorial hall."

The two chatted for a while, and there were no big things to deal with while staying in the company. Mo Yu simply took Zhang Zhaoyang and ran to the Glory Arena.

There are some tourists visiting outside the Glory Hall.

Mo Yu didn't care, no one would recognize him anyway.

Zhang Zhaoyang had to be careful and wear a mask and glasses, just in case.

He has already become an Internet celebrity and often appears on the court. Many people can recognize him at a glance.

The two of them went straight downstairs without driving. One of them scanned a shared bicycle and set off.

After entering the Glory Hall, the two went straight to a large, empty room on the roof that was open to the public.

This is the E-Sports History Memorial Hall established by Mo Yu a long time ago.

From the year of the Internet Cafe Tournament until today, all the big and small things that have happened in the history of e-sports can be found in this venue.

When the two arrived, there were only a dozen or so tourists in the memorial hall.

"Do you remember this painting?"

Mo Yu came to a painting.

The picture showed a figure frantically typing on the keyboard in front of a computer.

The back figure is thin and the hair is messy. He looks like he is lying on his stomach or just staring at the computer. Both postures are very similar.

The computer screen is not a normal screen, but a golden sword slowly emerging from the void, as if the figure in the painting is typing on the keyboard, and the sword will eventually appear.

"I know." Zhang Zhaoyang said with emotion and some memories: "Creation, the first work of this memorial hall, what is painted on it is the scene when you were alone in the room making GAG."

"That's right."

Mo Yu nodded, staring at the picture with complicated eyes.

To outsiders, he is the one in the painting, but only he knows that he is not the only one in the painting, but there is actually another 'Mo Yu'.

That ‘Mo Yu’ created the prototype of GAG, and he added to it.

Without that ‘Mo Yu’, GAG would not have appeared.

Without him, GAG would not rise.

"I was really tired at that time. I only had 8,000 yuan on me. I stayed in my room playing games for half a year and almost died suddenly."

Mo Yu's tone was stern.

He thought of the hard time he had just traveled through time and stayed in his room to recreate GAG.

For half a year, I had one computer and no other help.

At that time, if it were not for the physical enhancement and past life memories brought about by time travel, as well as the all-round technology inherited from the original body that can be used as a studio by one person, I am afraid that GAG would not have appeared so quickly.

It’s not even sure if there is one.

After all, he only had 8,000 yuan on him at the time. It was not easy to survive, let alone hiring people.

If he really wants to make GAG, he must at least make enough money to recruit people before he can start.

"It means you are willing to persevere, otherwise where would GAG come from?" Zhang Zhaoyang said with admiration: "If it hadn't been for those six months, I don't know which year it would have taken for e-sports to appear."

Mo Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard this.

If it weren't for him, given the development of game types in this world, the concept of e-sports would have taken many years.

You know, when he first came here, there were so many games in the world, and the only one that could be considered a MOBA was the earliest version of GAG left by his predecessor, let alone the later one.

So many game companies have never thought of holding offline competitions, let alone develop a systematic e-sports event based on games.

"It's really amazing sometimes when I think about it." Mo Yu said with emotion: "There are obviously so many games, but in the end there is not a single one. If it weren't for me, I really don't know what year it would be before anyone would want to hold a competition."

Zhang Zhaoyang said: "So you created history."

"So be it."

Mo Yu nodded without refuting.

The two chatted and continued to look down in the memorial hall.

"This is a photo taken when the Friends team won the Internet Cafe Competition that year. The replica trophy is still here."

The two of them looked at a trophy with a glass base.

The trophy is not very large, and its material is not cash gemstones or gold. The carving technique is also very simple. There are no fancy and complicated patterns. The overall shape is a glass base with a beam-shaped cup body, and above the cup body is A sphere representing the sun.

There are two lines of words engraved on the base of the trophy.

One line is "The Champion of the First "Gods and Gods" Internet Cafe Competition", and the other line is ""Respect the person who broke the darkness for e-sports". It is the earliest Internet Cafe Competition trophy, also called the Dawn Cup!

It means that the dawn of e-sports has arrived!

"Dawn Cup!"

"At that time, the semi-finals were still played hard, and then the finals went to Bayi Square, but now Bayi has been demolished."

"Who dared to believe that e-sports competitions could be included in the Olympics at that time? I'm afraid they couldn't even think about it. Speaking of which, when I met Xiaobo and decided to engage in e-sports, it was during the Internet cafe competition."

Zhang Zhaoyang's voice was full of memories.

Mo Yu nodded and smiled: "I remember that Xiaobo and his classmates thought you were a liar at the time, but later you showed me a Ferrari key and asked someone to bring you milk tea, so they believed you immediately."

"Hahaha~"

The two of them couldn't help laughing as they thought about the past.

That was their lost youth~

"Come and see this, Jingzhou Cup"

"This is the first of the three major A-level cups, the Emperor Star Cup!"

"It's in the shape of a jade seal, and it was appointed by heaven. It means longevity and prosperity. Only someone like you who is old and has a second-year syndrome can come up with it. Isn't it embarrassing?"

"What an embarrassment. The Emperor Star Cup has been played for so many years. Who feels embarrassed now?"

"That's right. Only you would go to a fortune teller to name your team."

The two chatted and strolled, watching and reminiscing.

It started with the earliest Internet cafe competition, followed by the Jingzhou Cup, the college league, the Sun Cup, the Emperor Star Cup, the European and American Cup, and then it was S1 when Emperor Star won the first world championship.

Later, it was the Handong Provincial Games, and 11 professional players stepped onto the stage of the traditional sports meeting for the first time.

Then came the first MSI, where LGD turned the tables with 11 points of blood.

There were also group photos of the first appearance at the Asian Games, the first police-gangster battle in CSGO, the first 40-man world competition in Race Hegemony, the first time LGD won the Immortal Aegis in DOTA, and the group photo of the national team going to the Tokyo Olympics.

The decades of e-sports are all condensed in this e-sports history memorial.

As long as you look at this memorial from beginning to end, you can basically see all the major events in the development of e-sports in these years.

The venue is very large. Even though the two of them have a deep memory of these past events, they still walked and stopped to look for an hour until the last picture.

Looking through the glass protective cover, there is a blank picture frame on the wall, and next to the frame is an empty platform. Apart from that, there is nothing else.

"What is this?"

Zhang Zhaoyang asked in confusion.

Mo Yu smiled, said nothing, and pointed his finger under the picture frame.

Zhang Zhaoyang looked in the direction of his finger and saw that there was not nothing there, but a line of title had already been written.

"Paris Olympics!" (End of this chapter)
