Chapter 570 Image of the Old Clubs Collapsed
The ten team members got out of the bus after the handshake.
Team Leader Su was shocked once again. He looked at the small bus, to Zhang Yuan, and then finally at the players.
Those who did not know would think that this was the car of some sports delegation! These members were all tall and muscular. They were more like gymnasts than esports players. The five in front were alright; they looked normal. However, what was with the five muscle monsters at the back?! They seemed to be good at fighting.
Team Leader Su thought to himself silently. This looked totally different from what I imagined!
No other esports club had such types of members? What kind of training did you undergo usually?
Question marks floated over the head of Team Leader Su.
It was just that it was obviously impolite to ask these questions so Team Leader Su suppressed his curiosity forcibly. He brought Zhang Yuan and his team into the H4 Club.
They would first visit the club and then find an internet cafe nearby for a mock competition according to the previously finalized itinerary.
Zhang Yuan really wanted to visit the other esports Club and learn from their experiences.
The DGE club had been training very well according to Boss Pei’s methods, but Zhang Yuan was still feeling unreliable. He wondered if he could glean some experiences from these old brands.
Huang Wang and some other members were obviously particularly excited. They were finally unveiling their adored H4 Esports Club! Were they able to meet their favorite players and ask for autographs?
Everyone followed Team Leader Su into the training hall of the club.
It was said to be a training hall, but it was actually the original living room. There were seven computers placed in a circle around the living room.
It was not big originally. Now that computer tables and seats squeezed into it, then there was only a small area of about two meters by two meters left in the middle. There was also a coffee table, but these seven people had no more space for movement. There was an H4 Club poster on the wall, but they looked old and out of place.
The tables, chairs, computers, etc. nearly made the eyes of Huang Wang and the others fall out of their sockets.
It was a little too shameful!
They were all very old-fashioned computer desks. Other than being narrow, they did not consider the most important ergonomic factor.
The position of their hands was significantly higher than the elbow, and the range of the mouse was not enough. One would be very uncomfortable if they played for an extended time.
The computers were obviously not new either.
That was because, for some clubs, the main esports games they played were all old games. Even for the new games, to ensure that everyone had the same experience, the configuration would not be very much different.
Therefore, when purchasing computers, many clubs would save some money in this area to ensure that the games could run smoothly. Why did one need to add a few thousand yuan per laptop to get the highest specifications?
However, in Huang Wang’s view, these training computers were from the Stone Age when compared to the ROF Computer-Installation.
The configuration of these system units was definitely not good since there was no light on the chassis!
Huang Wang whispered to Old Zhou. “We are not going to use these computers to compete right? Please, no, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t even be able to utilize 50% of my strength with these computers.”
Old Zhou replied quietly, “I don’t think so, there are not enough computers. We’ll probably be heading to the nearby internet
cafe.”
Huang Wang was relieved. “That’s great.”
Team Leader Su began introducing the base to Zhang Yuan enthusiastically. In fact, the approach was similar to DGE Esports Club, but the club definitely rented the villas or apartments to save costs. The residences were similar. It was nothing more than to change the living room into a training room and the bedroom into the players’ dormitory.
But, that did not mean the experience was similar even if the approach was.
This villa might be in the suburbs of Shanghai, but every inch was worth its area in gold therefore these villas were not very spacious. It was a huge difference compared to Ming Yun Villas.
The training hall of DGE Esports Club was spacious and comfortable. Here, it was even squeezier than a normal internet bar. The DGE Esports Club had two to a room; here, they had upper and lower bunks which could squeeze four in a room. Only meritorious players could enjoy the treatment of a single room.
During the visit, Huang Wang met his favorite Starcraft professional player and obtained his signature happily. However, his good impression of H4 had completely collapsed.
Where was the good old club? Where were all the formality and high standards? These players were originally internet-addicted teenagers who joined DGE Esports Club when they first started playing professionally. They were really surprised by the superior environment when they first started training at Ming Yun Villas. It also gave them the illusion that good domestic esports clubs were the same. Everyone suddenly realized that their training conditions were too good after visiting the H4 Esports Club. Moreover, eating here seemed to rely purely on takeaways. Don’t be mistaken; it was not like the Fish-Catching Take-Outs, but random takeaways. They would throw it away if it was not nice and order again when they were hungry.
That made Huang Wang and the others feel incredible.
That was because Coach Yaling repeatedly emphasized the concept of nutrition. It had taken deep roots into everyone’s hearts and was completely in accordance with fitness standards. Eat at least five small meals a day, including extra meals and all sorts of food to maintain balanced nutrition.
Looking back to where they were here, wasn’t it just a huge dubious internet club?
