Chapter 110 GAL Three Giants

Chapter 110 GAL Three Giants

"On October 11th, I watched a golden game of "Star Emperor" in Jiangning..."

"It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most exciting e-sports game I have watched in 2023, and it is also the most unforgettable game."

"Star King is an unpopular fighting game with an average of only 200,000 online players. None of the players participating in the game are star players."

"But the fact that the players are unknown and the game is unpopular does not mean that the game is boring! On the contrary, the excitement of this game is beyond my imagination..."

"The game is not famous, and the players themselves are not famous, but the teams they belong to are famous!"

"Intel, AMD, Jubaojia, Darenshuo, Huazi, Sansang, Logitech, Herman Miller, Nvidia, Microsoft..."

"You think I'm reading the list of the world's top 500 companies? Wrong! I'm reading the official sponsors of the Golden Age League and the names of the participating teams!"

"To be honest, when I learned that a professional league in an unpopular game has a more luxurious sponsor lineup than the LPL, my reaction was as unbelievable as you in front of the screen!"

“But after I watched the six games on the first day of the ‘Golden Age Jiangning Station’, I seemed to understand. "

"This is indeed what it should be!"

"This is like 90% of the audience have never watched an F1 event, but F1 can be regarded as the world's three major sports events along with the Olympic Games and the World Cup."

"The Golden Age League of "Star Emperor" can be said to be a collection of technology, teamwork, and player operations, a perfect visual feast!"

"Major first- and second-tier PC hardware manufacturers and well-known companies have used their special skills to assemble nearly perfect game consoles. With the blessing of various black technologies, they have fought bloody battles in the game "Star Emperor" …”

"Some people may say, oh! Isn't it just assembling a computer on site and then playing games? It's not as exaggerated as you said? It's a bloody battle!"

"I know you don't believe it, so please don't blink next time and watch every clip carefully..."

Thick smoke rose from one host after another, and the most exaggerated one even burst into flames, burning on the spot.

The blogger is very good at editing.

First, a Vlog video was used to briefly introduce the situation of the "Star Emperor" Golden Age League, and then the most exciting clips of the game were directly released.

Some hosts smoke, some hosts spontaneously ignite, some hosts are overloaded and have a black screen...

There are players crying while looking at computers with black screens, engineers holding fire extinguishers and rushing to the scene to rescue people, blond foreigners taking off their shirts to celebrate wildly after seeing their team win, and screenshots of AMD's stock price...

"The competition at Jiangning Station lasted for two days. During these two days, I saw NVIDIA's mysterious new 50-series cards that have not yet been released, I also saw Intel's hidden laboratory-level discrete graphics, and I even saw AMD's sweep. Qianjun’s CPU and GPU work together.”

"It was not easy for AMD to win. The 1-2 start was not smooth. There was a public quarrel between players and engineers, and the general manager of AMD China broke up the fight..."

"But they overcame many difficulties in the end. In the crucial fourth round, the host was already smoking, but they still persevered until the end."

"With the advantage that both the CPU and GPU are its own products, the AMD team overcame difficulties and finally won the championship in Jiangning with a score of 9-2 and 27 points."

"AMD, YES!"

The video showed a touching scene of AMD reversing points and beating Renshuo, and finally won the championship in Jiangning. Players and engineers hugged each other tightly, and thousands of spectators shouted AMDYES.

"It's so burning..."

Xiao Lu couldn't help but sigh after seeing the end of this video.

“It’s exciting for AMD to win the championship.”

Chen Ba also saw this video and commented with a smile: "AMD's stock price rose the next day, and Su's mother also issued an announcement saying that she would release a championship commemorative version of 7900."

I am so excited to win the championship in Jiangning. I can’t imagine what will happen if AMD wins the 23-24 championship in one fell swoop?

Lao Huang must not be angry to death?

Thinking of this, Chen Ba couldn't help but want to laugh. At the beginning, he invited Lao Huang to come down and form his own team to compete like AMD.

But Lao Huang didn't seem to think highly of gamers. He only agreed to sponsor and did not personally form a team.

I regret it now!

After seeing AMD win the championship in Jiangning Station, Intel ranked third, and all the friends were in the limelight, Lao Huang suddenly came over and asked for a league seat.

It's not enough to just rely on the younger guys like Da Renshuo, Ju Baojia, and Qi Peihong. They are really useless, and they are no match for Intel and AMD.

Whether it was for the sake of face or stock price, Lao Huang once again paid attention to the game player group he despised and decided to end it personally.

Of course, there is another reason why Lao Huang ended up personally, and that is because his younger brother was not strong enough.

Even though the technology used in the 50 series was given, it was still hammered down by AMD.

Forget it, a guy from Intel who was trying to do core graphics also came to step on the N card, and even used this game to prove in disguise that their independent graphics technology is not bad.

Lao Huang couldn't bear it.

Although he looks down on gamers, the main part of the company's business is still developing in AI computing, but the game business can also make money.

Who would think that he makes less money?

Brother Duxian left the game in person, and Lao Huang even sent a tweet to book the championship in China Overseas Station in advance.

"We will bring unparalleled new technology to the GAL (Golden Age League) Zhonghai Station. The championship in the next station must belong to NVIDIA!"

Wow!

The eldest brother was really tough in what he said. As soon as he entered the venue, he was already planning to win the championship in the second round.

Regarding Lao Huang's domineering statement, the GAL audience had different opinions.

Starry Sky Emperor!

It was colonized by the graphics card bar on the day it was founded. It was originally a discussion forum about the game content of "Star Emperor", and later became an e-sports related post bar.

In this forum, everyone is also discussing Lao Huang's personal fate and arrogant speech, as well as the Jiangning race that just ended.

"I have a question, is it too late for Lao Huang to enter now? Without one point from Jiangning Station, the annual championship is a little bit in doubt!"

"AMD's championship is definitely guaranteed. Do you understand the value of the first championship?"

"The filial son of A card has started again. Your father A is so awesome, why did he lose to Intel? It's so funny!"

"Don't blame me, is Intel's independent graphics really usable? It's just a piece of smoke that comes out of nowhere. Anyone who understands the game won't compare Intel to AMD..."

"If you lose, you lose, don't deny it! If you ask me who is the champion of Intel, then I can only tell you, beat the champion!"

Tieba is very lively.

When Chen Ba first saw the popular posts of "Star Emperor Bar", he was still a little curious about what was being discussed in this bar.

Click on the results to see, okay!

The atmosphere when discussing the game is just like fighting against each other. Fans of various teams, A-cards, N-cards, and Intel, the troublemaker, are quarreling here.

AMD Jiangning won the championship. Although it won the championship with hard power, its loss to Intel was really topical.

"Intel is not weak."

Xiao Lu came over and said: "Although everyone thinks that hardware is greater than players, the personal strength of players is also crucial."

"really!"

Chen Ba nodded.

Although the main focus of the GAL competition is the competition of the technical background of each team, the strength of the players cannot be ignored.

Intel's ability to reach the top three in Jiangning Station relies not only on its technical strength, but also on the personal strength of the player Xu Xiaofei.

"During the transfer period, Xu Xiaofei will definitely be snapped up by various teams! Unless Intel bleeds, they won't be able to keep him..."

"Do we still have a transfer period?"

Xiao Lu's eyes widened with disbelief written on his face.

"Yes, I have!"

Chen Ba glanced at him and explained: "GAL is a serious professional league, and there must be a transfer mechanism for players."

GAL players, especially talented teenagers like Xu Xiaofei, will definitely become very popular as the GAL league becomes more and more popular.

It belongs to Intel now, but it’s hard to say which team he will play for in the future...

Anyway, as far as Chen Ba knew, after the Jiangning competition, many teams went to contact Xu Xiaofei privately, trying to poach Intel.

Fortunately, Chen Ba stopped it in time.

There were no rules regarding transfers before, and I never thought this would happen. When Xu Xiaofei was poached, he added the transfer rules.

According to the new rules, May to July every summer is the transfer period, during which players and teams can list, transfer, register and other operations.

No contact is allowed at other times.

This is also to maintain a good league environment. Otherwise, without transfer-related restrictions and regulations, each club would poach my corner and I would poach yours. Would the league still be possible?

"By the way, Xu Xiaofei signed an ordinary contract with Intel, with no liquidated damages and no contract period."

Chen Ba shook his head and said: "That's why I say that Intel will most likely not be able to keep him."

Annual salary of one million?

In a few months, Xu Xiaofei may have an annual salary of tens of millions! After all, if GAL competes with F1, he will most likely become GAL's Schumacher.

In League of Legends and football, they are the next Faker and Messi.

Although he currently lacks honors, is there a possibility that the league will hold its first tournament? As long as he maintains his current form, the champion will definitely be able to get soft?

…

The new GAL League is very popular!

Even many passers-by who did not play the game "Star Emperor" were attracted by the atmosphere of the game and began to watch the live broadcast of the event.

This is a good sign!

Although the GAL League is destined not to be as popular as the LOL Professional League, it is also unlikely to have as many viewers.

But the competition is too high.

Just reading the list of Fortune 500 sponsors is scary! Not to mention, various PC hardware manufacturers are also doing their best to promote the GAL League.

Graphics cards, CPUs, memory sticks, solid-state drives, monitors, and even mice and keyboards all have new GAL co-branded products released.

This directly leads to...

Currently, there is a special "GAL series" of computer accessories. This series is generally the flagship product of various manufacturers. As long as you are not short of money, you can definitely buy a set of GAL hardware.

In the past, when installing computers, everyone admired the prodigal eye of Darenshuo, thinking that was the belief!

Now, faith becomes GAL.

Although there is no cool RGB lighting blessing, and the GAL hardware is relatively silly, big, black and thick, it is recognized as the most powerful accessory by all digital enthusiasts.

certainly!

The Prodigal Eye was okay. After realizing that the influence of the Prodigal Eye brand had declined, Banrenshuo immediately decided to add the Prodigal Eye to the hardware in the subsequent GAL League.

All of a sudden, Prodigal Eye stopped its decline, and the brand series was linked to the GAL League.

"At any rate, after so many years of faith, the Prodigal Eye will not collapse so easily."

Chen Ba shook his head and said: "Think about it from another angle. If Dan Renshuo can make a name for himself in the GAL League, or even win an annual championship, the aura of Prodigal Eye will be even more dazzling."

But this is difficult.

With Nvidia's personal dismissal, the GAL League's Big Three structure has officially taken shape. The three teams of AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel are leading the way.

This is a bit like the three teams of Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull in the F1 competition. They are all far ahead in terms of valuation and influence.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The GAL23-24 annual championship will also appear among AMD, NVIDIA and Intel.

Audiences and fans are more optimistic about AMD. After all, they just won the championship in Jiangning and are gaining momentum with 27 points.

But Chen Ba felt that although Nvidia entered the game late and missed the points from Jiangning Station, there is a high probability that it will suppress all disobedience!

"Why?"

Yang Dong is very curious, is NVIDIA so powerful? Why didn't he see it?

"First, "Star Emperor" is a game that relies on graphics processing after all. NVIDIA is the big brother in independent graphics. There is no need to say more in this regard."

Chen Ba raised his finger and said: "Second, NVIDIA's AI technology, combined with the chicken blood optimization of "Star Emperor" will have miraculous effects."

He has tried it.

Lao Huang not only gave Tianba Studio a desktop-level graphics processor, but also several AI chips.

Chen Ba has experimented and found that NVIDIA's AI chip is of great help to the system.

Used in the game "Star Emperor", chicken blood optimization is not so easy to cause problems. Used in the game "God's Grace Continent", the NPC generation speed is faster and the logical behavior is more intelligent...

Chicken blood optimization is still a small increase.

NVIDIA's AI chips, including domestically produced AI chips, are used in the game "God's Grace Continent". That is the true "ultimate sublimation"!

He even had a guess.

If the computing power standard for training large AI models is used to automatically generate the NPCs of "God's Grace Continent"...

"NPCs can talk!"

Chen Ba said with confidence: "There is no doubt that with sufficient computing power, "God's Grace Continent" will set off another earthquake in the animation industry."

This time, voice actors and editors may not even be needed.

All it takes is a screenwriter and a director to tell the NPC the required keywords in a conversation like ChatGPT, and they can perform and read the lines according to the "director's" instructions.

Individual users will definitely not be able to do this due to limited computing power.

But enterprise users, especially large enterprises that are willing to spend money, can definitely do this by using advanced AI chips and the underlying core of "God's Grace Continent".
