My Animation Era

  Chapter 977 The Declining Duel Competition

  National champion at this level?

  The audience was stunned. They never expected that the national champion team would fight back and forth with an East China team...

   Oh no!

  What back and forth? If it wasn't for Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School's lack of singles strength, and they were beaten in all three sets, they would really have won this match.

"what happened?"

  Gu Miao didn't pay much attention to the game process, mainly because there were a lot of people on the scene, so he couldn't see clearly.

   It’s just that he found that at the end of the competition, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School had won, but Shen Chao’s face was as ugly as if he had lost. After receiving the medal and certificate, he led people away from the stadium.

   "There should be a problem within the team!"

   "That's right! Some people won a championship with their thighs in their arms, and then they relax their daily training and don't play games. They just know how to use the honor to flaunt girls all day long. This kind of person is really..."

   "Yes! The key is that the minister went to the capital to participate in a training camp some time ago, and no one can control these people, so that's it."

   "It's just that third grader who won a national championship as a substitute, and brags that he is a dragon horse all day long, hahaha I laughed so hard!"

   Most of the people who came to watch the competition were students from Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. Listening to their whispers, Gu Miao roughly understood why Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School failed to win No. 2 Middle School.

   Something went wrong inside!

  He originally thought that Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School won the national championship was just the beginning, and under the leadership of student Shen Chao, it might not be impossible to defend the title next year.

   But looking at it now, the heavy honor of national championship seems to make some players lose themselves.

   After all, he was a national champion, a major contributor to a school building, and might be included in the history of the school in the future. These teenage boys couldn't hold back, and it was normal for them to feel proud and complacent.

   It's just that this kind of emotion affects the competitive state, so people have to doubt the strength of the current Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School tennis team.

   "The Wanbao Cup has cultivated many talented teenagers in tennis. This is a fact that has been certified by the National Tennis Center."

  After Lao Zhang learned about Gu Miao's experience of going to the football game, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "But the temperament of middle school students is generally not stable enough. Almost all the two championship teams have the same problem."

   "It is very difficult for Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School to defend the title this year, and it will be even more difficult after Shen Chao graduates."

   I don't know how to cherish it.

   Missed this opportunity, let alone the defending national champion of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in the future, whether it can enter the East China competition is a problem.

   "Seeing the performance of these children, I suddenly understand why the animation "The Prince of Tennis" is a realistic work." Gu Miao said with emotion.

  Isn’t it the same for Aigaku and Makino Fuji?

  The former is because of Echizen Minamijiro's graduation and left, so he fell into a slump. It was not until the arrival of geniuses such as Tezuka Fuji that he began to make breakthroughs.

  The latter is more like Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in reality. After graduation, a large number of meritorious seniors such as Phoenix of Byodoin Academy went directly from a championship-level team that swept the country to a low-profile team.

  On the one hand, we can see the importance of genius from the ups and downs of these schools.

  On the other hand, we have to see that even with a genius like Tezuka Kunimitsu, the reason why Qingxue failed to achieve good grades in the first two years is that he didn't cherish the opportunity.

   Shen Chao really looks more and more like Tezuka.

  Almost the same template for leading the team, even he is a little worse than Tezuka, because Tezuka's teammate Cai Guicai at least has fighting spirit and hard work. On the other hand, student Shen Chao may not be able to wait for Ryoma to appear until graduation.

   "Maybe a miracle will happen!"

  Old Zhang said with a smile: "For example, in our "Machine Warrior" competition, didn't there be a dark horse?"

   "You mean that biker player poti?"

  Gu Miao heard this, and said with admiration: "That is indeed inspirational. From the world ranking of 500+ to the world's first, the average winning rate of the motorcycle race has been raised to 60% by itself!"

   But this is beyond comparison.

   In the competition of "King of Warlord" or "Yu-Gi-Oh", more emphasis is placed on individual strength, and they don't care about the so-called teamwork, so dark horses appear frequently.

  Tennis matches, especially team matches, how can there be so many counterattacks by dark horses? No matter how strong you are alone, you can win at most one game, not the whole game.

   But when it comes to the player Poti, Gu Miao still appreciates it...

   On the one hand, his experience is indeed inspirational and legendary, but anyone who knows it will call it a scam!

  On the other hand, the birth of Poti also injected new vitality into the game "King of War", giving the game and animation a second spring.

   On the other hand, "Yu-Gi-Oh" next door, the competition is held every year, but the popularity and influence are not as good as each year, and the number of viewers is also falling precipitously, and it is not far from bankruptcy.

  What went wrong?

  Gu Miao actually couldn't figure it out, why did the game of "Yu-Gi-Oh" suddenly fail after two or three sessions?

Obviously, the popularity of the animation is not bad, and there are more and more players of "Yu-Gi-Oh." .

   "It should be that many people think that watching others play cards is not as good as getting started!"

  From the perspective of an objective and independent third party, Lao Zhang gave his own understanding: "And to be honest, the competitive nature of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is less than luck, and the game is not very enjoyable."

   Rough words are not rough.

  Lao Zhang's analysis is correct, Gu Miao thinks about it carefully, it really makes sense.

  The game is too poor to watch, and it excludes passers-by and spectators. After all, there are a lot of technical terms such as "fusion" and "special move". Those who have never played before will definitely not understand, or even read.

  In this case, the people watching the game must be fans of "Yu-Gi-Oh", and they have to be loyal fans. The scope itself is very small.

  In addition, the game process can’t be called exciting and exciting. Many players feel that it’s nothing more than relying on the strength of the deck and the luck of drawing cards. It’s better to do it yourself...

   As a result, fewer and fewer people watched the game, and the popularity of the game declined.

"You're right…"

  Gu Miao nodded in agreement, and then said: "The current problem of "Game King" is very serious, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to continue to hold large-scale competitions."

  If you want to do it, you can only do small competitions.

  Large-scale competitions, with the current competition environment and enthusiasm of "Yu-Gi-Oh", it is completely unsupportable.

   Change is for sure.

   If you don’t change it, can you just watch “Yu-Gi-Oh” getting more and more popular, and become less and less popular, until in the end there are only a group of old fritters left in this circle to be cute?

   But the question is where to start? How to make changes to satisfy most people, so that the more changes do not get worse?

   For the "Yu-Gi-Oh" game, I'm really sorry for the popularity of this IP, after all, such a famous card battle game...
