Introduction: This article is written on the last day before the suspension of " Overwatch ", and celebrates the lost youth of the festival.
Is Watching still alive? Maybe he is dead.
People who have not experienced it really find it difficult to imagine the entire network carnival in the FPS circle that summer in 2016. Under the golden sign "produced by Blizzard , it must be a fine product", almost all players are immersed in this game with distinctive character, top-notch art, fast-paced and team-based cooperation, so that playing Overwatch is called "drug use" in the circle.
At that time, almost all players would not deny that this brand new IP would continue to be as brilliant as Blizzard, but in just one year, the old dog finished all the new tricks, and the update almost stopped and never recovered.
Today is the last day of Overwatch's operation. Although it will resurrect the corpse in "Overwatch: Return" which will be launched in two days, the new Overwatch is still familiar with people, but the sense of history cannot be erased. 1 is 1, 2 is 2, just like a paper plane thrown out of childhood, no matter how much it flies, it will never fly back to your hands.
It was such an important day, and I should have enjoyed the last time together like other players who love this game. But what happened was that I was working in the night shift at the unit today. It seemed that it would rain all night, so I didn’t go home when I rode an electric donkey to work. Looking at the screenshots of everyone posting in the game with their friends on Weibo, my thoughts suddenly flew back 6 years ago.
At that time, the watch was still at its peak. I often stayed in school posters and soon found a group of like-minded friends, often playing fast and action together. Not long after, the e-sports clubs on campus (organized by the students themselves and the school did not approve it) were reported that they were going to hold the On-campus competition. A few of us big boys signed up without thinking.
If you have something to do, do your job as soon as possible. If you have a girlfriend, please comfort your girlfriend. Every night from 7 to 9 pm, you will train for 2 hours without any impact on the campus network's ping (it happened to be a classmate in our team called 2 hours, and later this became a small meme between us). I still remember that we have always used the classic 222 tactics, the front row sledgehammer road bully, the C position is McCree and another character who can't remember, the milk position Anna dj, a very balanced panacea style.
To be honest, training is actually boring, and lacks command and coach, and does not know anything about review. Everyone just beats over and over again, practicing reaction speed and accuracy mechanically, and occasionally throws blame each other, but no matter how quarrels, they still tie up like brothers when they are training the next day.
Finally came the day of the competition. The club claimed to have received sponsorship from the Internet cafe owner. We also fantasized about how to spend the championship bonus if we won. Only after I went there did I know how deep the boss’s routine was. The first, second and third prizes were 300, 200, and 100 respectively, and the online fee for the competition required the team members to pay out of their own pockets.
I later calculated this account specifically. The boss who runs this event is a waste of money and does not lose a penny. He makes a fuss. We have to win at least a second prize to ensure that we can earn back the online fee. However, the online fee is spread to everyone, at best, only a few dozen yuan. Who can say that the master can't afford to pay dozens of yuan? (Although this is my 2-day meal fee), I've come here, let's go!
vaguely remember that our opponent in that game was called Primary School Hands Team? Although the name is quite funny, the six of us still acted like we were facing a great enemy. Before the game started, we were ready to cheer each other up. I could clearly feel that my hands were trembling because of extreme tension and excitement. I took several deep breaths, and kept shaking my hands and twisting my neck to move my body, so I felt a little calmer.
Perhaps it was the saying "God pays off for those who are determined". The competition went very smoothly, and we almost pressed the grass team opposite to the ground to rub the ground. When the final "victory" sign appeared on the screen, I jumped up from the sofa, pulled over my teammates next to me, hugged them and cheered.We won, and we won very thoroughly.
To be honest, after playing games for so many years, I never cared about e-sports or e-sports, nor had I watched any game, but at that moment I finally understood what e-sports is. In the words of the teacher, "We all come from all over the world, and we came together for a common revolutionary goal."
won the first game, which greatly enhanced our confidence and morale. However, because a senior in the team had to withdraw because he was busy with his studies and had no time to find a substitute, we finally had to give up the second round of the game, which made me regret it to this day. Looking back now, there are many things worth remembering in the four years of college, but the days I fought with those guys were definitely the happiest time in my four years.
unknowingly it was already midnight, and Overwatch was about to stop serving in less than 3 hours. I saw many players on Weibo who were flooding the screen with "goodbye" in the lobby. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that friends always have a chance to get together, and when will our youth be seen again?
