Could it be that person used to be a professional FPS shooter player?
Very quickly, Adam Wright shook his head again.
Because PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is completely different from any previous shooting game, and as a current global phenomenon, there are already many former famous FPS pros switching over to PUBG.
However, the facts have already proven otherwise.
Those former FPS pros, at most, just get the hang of the game faster than regular players.
But that doesn’t mean that just because they were revered as gods in previous shooting games, they’ll still be gods in this one.
A well-known domestic example is the Se7en team, who represented China half a year ago in the so-called “War of the Gods” of the FPS world, the "Stars War" tournament.
Almost everyone in that team was a top-tier FPS genius, with reflexes far beyond ordinary people.
But in that “War of the Gods,” Se7en lost to the European and American powerhouse team SKK in the finals for certain reasons, and then overnight, the team collapsed. The most mysterious “Black Hood” captain Victor vanished without a trace, and the remaining players also switched to PUBG as the times changed.
But out of the original five-man team, aside from the “Black Hood” captain Victor, only Lech and Wolves have successfully transitioned.
LechEmily Thompson stayed with the Se7en team as the number one assaulter, and is currently the holder of the highest Rank points and most kills in the Asia server.
WolvesEthan Sullivan transferred and signed with the IG team, becoming their fourth sniper. In several recent PUBG offline tournaments, he’s been in the spotlight, unmatched by anyone, and is known as the “Sniper God of PUBG.”
Both of them have also signed with streaming platforms and are currently the two most skilled and famous PUBG players, with a huge fan base.
As for the remaining two, Mark Foster and Owen Harris—
One transitioned to a behind-the-scenes role and became part of Se7en’s management.
The other, like the “Black Hood” captain Vic, disappeared from the FPS scene.
There are also other examples, like some foreign FPS gods such as F0rest and Neo, some of whom have successfully transitioned, but even more have faded into the crowd.
So just using the explanation of “retired pro player” doesn’t make sense for how such a godlike player could suddenly appear in an internet café near a university town.
……
Jianghai, 4AM’s training base.
“Damn!”
God Wade stared blankly at the match screen, feeling extremely frustrated.
Not only did he get two kills stolen in the final circle just now, but even the chicken dinner that was almost in his mouth got snatched away. Now he could only gnaw on the chicken’s butt, and anyone would feel upset in his place.
Not only that, but God Wade’s livestream chat was exploding, with all kinds of comments flying by.
“Whoa! Eating this chicken butt is a bit rough.”
“Holy crap! That guy just now was insane! That last shot blew my mind!”
“Fish pond game overturned, Wade ran into a real pro!”
“Vic123, I noticed that guy earlier, didn’t expect he really was a master!”
“He’s been sniping the whole time, could he be IG’s Wolves?”
“If it really is Wolves, then there’s nothing more to say.”
“Wade waah waah, do another solo squad!”
“Be positive! Up! Up!”
“……”
At that moment, Dragon God's Oath, sitting next to God Wade, scooted his chair over.
As 4AM’s coach, he’d been spectating the match just now.
Seeing God Wade’s frustrated expression, Dragon God's Oath couldn’t help but laugh, “Got a bit careless, huh? That guy’s movement was pretty good, that last crouch was brilliant. In this game, gunplay alone isn’t enough.”
“I admit defeat.” Hearing Dragon God's Oath’s words, God Wade, who had been sulking for a while, couldn’t help but sigh, “I really did get a bit sloppy after bullying too many newbies just now, made a mistake.”
“But judging by his ID, he doesn’t seem to be someone from the scene. No idea which wild master he is.”
Dragon God's Oath shrugged, “That’s hard to guess. The game’s hot right now, a bunch of former FPS players are switching over, even a lot from overseas. The pool’s too big.”
Hearing Dragon God's Oath’s words, God Wade nodded to himself, silently making a mental note of the ID “Vic123.”
Of course, if the two of them knew that Ryan Clark had just gotten 35 kills in this match, just one short of breaking the current Asia server kill record—
The pool they just mentioned would suddenly get a lot smaller.
……
Aoxiang Internet Café.
“Did we just… get a chicken dinner lying down?”
Brian Carter stared blankly at the victory screen on his monitor, then turned dazedly to David Brooks and asked.
David Brooks nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, “If the system didn’t make a mistake, we should have gotten a chicken dinner lying down!”
Henry Cooper slapped Ryan Clark on the shoulder excitedly and said, “Holy crap! Langzi, you’re awesome!”
