anchor Liang Hapi to commentary Liang Hapi

You got the best commentary of the fifth personality in 2019 on COAⅢ. Do you remember what kind of situation did you first come into contact with the fifth personality?

Liang Hapi: At that time, I was in the internal test of the fifth personality. I did not have the authority to internal test, but after watching other anchors play this game, I felt that this game is very suitable for me - because I am personally more passionate about competitive games and have a high understanding, and I always play better than some of my friends around me. So at that time I felt that I could play this game well. After the public beta of the fifth personality, I got into the trap.

When did you start working as an anchor related to the fifth personality?

Liang Hapi: In addition to playing games in college, I have been working as a campus host, and I can also get some opportunities for off-campus hosting. However, the host's work income is not stable - it will cost about a few hundred yuan in one session, and I was not very tall at that time. When I matched with the female host, the female host might not match me when wearing high heels. So I no longer want to develop the host's direction. But it’s a coincidence that my level of gaming in the fifth personality was pretty good at that time. By chance, I became a game anchor in the fifth personality zone of B.com.

Have you been a contestant for a while? How did you become a player at that time?
Liang Hapi: Becoming a contestant is actually after becoming an anchor. After the end of COA I in 2018, the official held a cross-platform elite competition, and Bilibili is one of the participating platforms. So a trial competition was held within B station. I participated in this competition as an anchor, and then was selected. I successfully formed the WNW team with other anchors on B station - I am a slogan of mine. I still remember that our team was: I am a slogan of mine, I am a slogan of mine, I am a scattered myself, I am a scattered myself!

But in fact, after participating in this competition, I did not participate in the official competition of Identity V. Because the competition equipment for Identity V later had to be a mobile phone, I was a PC player, and it was actually more difficult to switch to a mobile phone, so I gave up being a player and continued to be an anchor.

What opportunity made you a commentator?

Liang Hapi: The first chance to comment was obtained by chance. During the COA II overseas qualifiers, a fan recommended me to the staff recruiting commentary in NetEase. I then sent some information to the official and participated in the selection. Finally, I passed the selection smoothly, and then I had the first commentary opportunity, which was also the beginning of my commentary career.

Do you still remember your mood at that time?
Liang Hapi: I was actually very excited to give a commentator for the first time. I gave up the career path of the host for some objective reasons before, but by chance I became an interviewer. How to say it? I am a person with a desire to show off, so being able to stand in front of the audience in this way was also helpful to my anchor career, so I was more happy. I didn't expect that I could do it now.

Three stages of the fifth personality event

If the fifth personality event is divided into several stages, how would you divide it? (Time dimension, event dimension, character dimension. )
Liang Hapi: If divided according to year. 2018, 2019 and 2020 represent three different periods of the Identity Fifth Event, and the official also launched different events during these periods: the first stage was 2018, mainly from the COA I Global Finals to the Cross-Platform Elite Championship; the second stage was 2019, where COA II continued the COA III event brand, and at the same time launched two secondary events second only to COA in the IVC Summer Championship IVC Winter Championship; the third stage was 2020, where COA III Global Finals arrived as scheduled, and our IVL Professional League came into being. The above is the timeline for the event upgrade, but if I follow the game and the team members line, I may be divided into three more stages.

, according to the game and the team members, how will you distinguish?
Liang Hapi: The first stage: the amateur stage (COAⅠ to the 2018 Cross-platform Elite Competition) There were fewer roles at that time, and the players were basically anchors. The rules at that time, including BP and extra games were relatively "green". For example, if you draw, you may have infinite extra games until the winner is decided - these rules have been optimized more maturely. At that time, the contestants, the players and audiences were in a relatively ignorant stage. In terms of game version, "Ugly Emperor Butterfly Queen" was the iconic regulator of that stage, and those who strive to survive include air force, philanthropists and perfumers. The representative team is Gr and VE - the champion and runner-up of COA I at that time. The contestant's representative player is Fatty Blue - he is the core of COAⅠGr, helping Gr win the COAⅠ championship. What about the second stage of


?
Liang Hapi: The second stage can become a semi-professional stage. (The first cross-platform invitational tournament to COAⅡ)
At this time, the event had begun to take shape. Starting from the cross-platform invitational tournament, the fifth personality event had relatively complete rules, and all contestants also had fixed makeup photos and related promotions on Weibo.

The game version at that time was the "Queen Spider Queen" stage - Jack and Spider were the powerful regulators of the version, and at this time some new survivors were also released - such as prophets, mechanics and priests. The arrival of these survivors has diversified the tactics of the game.

The representative team at that time were Gr and ITC. The survivors in the ITC team are very strong. First of all, they have very excellent restrictive players like Jianjia - I have a deep impression of this player. Because I also participated in the 2018 Cross-Platform Invitational Tournament, our team was defeated by ITC where Jianjia was located. ITC was also the champion of the Cross-Platform Invitational Tournament that year. Jianjia’s perfumer and other restraining roles are very proficient. As a supervisor, if I first met Jianjia’s perfumer, I would basically give up chasing him. Secondly, their commander, Mr. Wang, has a clear mind and can basically ensure that "they can win if they fall sooner or later."

At the same time, Gr's players were reorganized after COA I, and they did not enter the offline competition due to running-in problems. But this also became an opportunity for Gr to strive forward and win the COA II championship.
In fact, ITC and Gr are in the second stage, and they are a bit "love and killing each other". Both teams put enough pressure on each other, and the two teams are also making progress together in the competitive relationship.

The third stage?

Liang Hapi: The third stage: professional stage (COAⅡ-COAⅢ) At this time, the fifth personality competition system has not actually been particularly adjusted, and almost every year it revolves around IVC and COA. The game version ushered in the stages of Mrs. Red and the Witch of Dreams. The Gr team showed great dominance at this stage - although IMT defeated Gr in the 2018 IVC Winter Championship to win the championship. But judging from the overall number of honors obtained and the dominance shown in COA III, Gr is undoubtedly the representative team of the third stage.


Strictly speaking, IVL is an upgrade of the IVC system and a continuation of the third generation.But at the same time, it is not true, because some teams have entered the IVL stage in another form. Although they have not been able to continue to move forward in the face of the original team, it has also ended a story from another level.

The biggest difference between the new stage of route

IVL and the previous IVC should be the four words "professional league". As a former player, how to understand these four words with the current commentator. What do you think of the IVL league?
Liang Hapi: When I first learned about this league, I felt joy and worry. The worrying part may be more from my personal emotions. In fact, before IVL, no matter what fans and the outside world said, the contestants came to offline competitions more like meeting netizens or fifth-ranked fellow enthusiasts. The contestants' mentality was "It's best to win, it doesn't matter if they don't win." But when IVL arrives, so many traditional clubs and the fifth original clubs will definitely allow the game to upgrade in a round at the competitive level.

The difference is that in the past, people played games based on their interests and hobbies, but in the future, it may not be enough to rely solely on interests and hobbies. More training and hard work are needed. The external situation is also changing, because other players are working hard, so you need to work harder.

So for players who join the professional league, they need to overcome greater difficulties and defeat more opponents. From the perspective of a friend, I am worried that there will be greater pressure on each player to meet the team. But this is competition, and it is also the charm of competition.

joy is because the competition can finally be fixed for a long time - this will undoubtedly give more exposure to the competition in the fifth personality, and club management and competition training will be more professional. For the audience and commentators, it is undoubtedly something that is worthy of happiness and expectation to be able to see the contestants they support more frequently and see more exciting and high-level duels.

Gr is a team that cannot be bypassed in the previous career stage. How to evaluate them and the challenges they face.
Liang Hapi: The strongest thing about this team is that the personnel after COAⅡ are very stable. Usually, they may think that they are "scattered", but as long as they play the game, they will show very strong cohesion. In the previous IVL stage, personnel stability is a necessary condition for a strong team, which is also one of the key factors for Gr to widen the gap in the old stage.

But after IVL started, all teams, especially those of traditional clubs, came in. Strict professional management will be carried out. With the daily training matches and training volume, as well as the research on various tactics, all clubs will reach a level that is not much different from Gr, and may even surpass Gr. Gr's biggest advantage before IVL will be weakened and will turn into a state of "storm against the current".

but will Gr definitely become weaker? This may not necessarily mean that catching up also has costs and time. Although all teams have a latecomer advantage, they may win the championship. But if Gr still maintains a champion's heart, they may also continue their dominance. All of this is unknown.

IVL has ushered in many reshuffles, and therefore many new teams have been born. Which teams do you think will impact Gr's position in the old stage?
Liang Hapi: The ZQ team has very top players and configurations - Supervisor Yang, Survivor Kameng and Dalong, Coach Head Fish, etc. They are all very strong players. They were all distributed in various teams before, but now the team they gathered with because of the arrival of IVL is the biggest challenge facing Gr. As mentioned above, the talents these players showed before IVL are unquestionable. Their biggest disadvantage may be team cohesion, but now there are professional clubs to manage. Once the running-in is completed, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on Gr.

If there will be a dark horse team in the first season of IVL, who would you think it is? Liang Hapi: For the dark horse team, it may be DOU5. Because they introduced Dong Xuan, the former AT's powerful supervisor player. If a player with strength like Dong Xuan can customize some systems and tactics around him, I think this team will achieve good results.After

IVL arrives, will you have new plans and goals?
Liang Hapi: I hope to explain stably and attentively. Next is the professional league, where the players' confrontation intensity will become higher and higher. I hope that the players' mistakes, routines, systems, viewing and details can be presented to the audience through my explanation. Let everyone watch and understand the competition better, and hope that both the contestants and I can get better and better.
