My Animation Era

Is this the level of a national champion?

The audience was shocked. They never expected that the national championship team would actually have a back-and-forth match with an East China-level team...

Oh no!

What comes and goes? If Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School hadn't been weak in singles and was beaten in three sets, they would have won this game.

"what happened?"

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

But he discovered that at the end of the game, even though Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School had won, student Shen Chao's face was as ugly as if he had lost. After receiving the medal and certificate, he led others away from the stadium.

"There must be a problem within the team!"

"That's right! Some people hold their thighs and win a championship, and then relax their daily training and don't play in games. They just use their honors to pick up girls and show off all day long. Such people are really..."

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

"That third-year guy, who won a national championship as a substitute, brags all day long that he is a dragon horse, hahaha, it makes me laugh so hard!"

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

There is something wrong internally!

He originally thought that Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School's national championship was just the beginning. Under the leadership of classmate Shen Chao, he might not be unable to defend the title next year.

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

After all, he was a national champion, a major contributor to a teaching building in the school, and a glorious deed that might be written into school history in the future. It was normal for these teenage boys to be unable to control themselves and feel proud and complacent.

If this kind of emotion affects the competitive state, people have to doubt the strength of the current Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School tennis team.

"The Wanbao Cup has cultivated many young tennis talents. This is a fact certified by the National Tennis Center."

After Lao Zhang learned about Gu Miao's experience of going to the football match, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "But middle school students are generally not calm enough. The two championship teams almost all had the same problem."

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

Not knowing how to cherish is like this.

If this opportunity is missed, it will be a question whether Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School can advance to the East China Competition, let alone defend the national championship.

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

Isn't this the case for Aogaku and Makinodo?

The former was in a state of decline due to the graduation and departure of Echizen Nanjiro. It was not until the arrival of geniuses such as Tezuka Fuji that he began to achieve breakthroughs.

The latter is more like Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in reality. After a large number of meritorious seniors such as Byodoin Phoenix graduated, they went directly from a championship-level team that swept the country to a low-level 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 must also see that even with a genius like Tezuka Kunimitsu, the reason why Qingxue failed to achieve good results in the first two years was because he did not cherish the opportunity.

Shen Chao is really looking more and more like Tezuka.

He has almost the same team leadership template, and he is even a little worse than Tezuka, because Tezuka's teammate Cai Guina 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!"

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "For example, in our "King of Robots" competition, didn't there appear a dark horse?"

"You mean that biker player poti?"

When Gu Miao heard this, she said with some admiration: "That's really inspiring. From being ranked 500+ in the world to being number one in the world, I single-handedly increased the average winning rate of the motorcycle race to 60%!"

But there's no comparison.

The game of "Game of Thrones" or "Yu-Gi-Oh!" places more emphasis on personal strength and does not care about so-called teamwork, so dark horses appear frequently.

How can there be so many dark horse counterattacks in tennis matches, especially team matches? No matter how strong you are on your own, you can only win one round at most, but not the whole game.

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

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

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

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

What went wrong?

Gu Miao actually couldn't understand why the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" competition suddenly stopped working after two or three sessions.

Obviously the popularity of the animation is not bad, and there are more and more players playing the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" card game. It stands to reason that the competition should also be held in a prosperous manner. However, the competition is becoming more and more popular, and fewer and fewer people are watching. .

"Many people probably feel that watching others play cards is worse than trying it yourself!"

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 to watch."

The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.

Lao Zhang's analysis was correct, and when Gu Miao thought about it carefully, it turned out to be true.

The game is not very enjoyable to watch and excludes passers-by. After all, there are a lot of professional terms such as "fusion" and "special move", which people who have never played will definitely not understand or even understand.

In this case, the people watching the game must be fans of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and they must be loyal fans, which is a very small range.

In addition, the competition process is not very exciting. Many poker players feel that it is just relying on the powerful deck and good luck in drawing cards. It is better to do it yourself...

As a result, fewer and fewer people are watching the game, and the popularity of the game has also declined.

"You're right……"

Gu Miao nodded in agreement, and then said: "The problem of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is very serious now. It is estimated that it will be difficult to continue hosting large-scale competitions."

Only small competitions can be held.

Large-scale competitions cannot be sustained at all with the current competition environment and popularity of "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Change is certain.

If we don’t change, are we just going to watch "Yu-Gi-Oh!" become more and more unpopular and niche, until in the end there will only be a bunch of old fritters left to enjoy themselves in this circle?

But the question is where to start? How can we make changes to satisfy most people and not make them worse with more changes?

The game of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is really not worth the popularity of this IP. After all, it is such a famous card battle game...
