Chapter 462: The first battle!
On the day of the war between humans and machines, everyone’s attention was on it.
This war between humans and machines could be said to be very prestigious. Not only did the major domestic live broadcast platforms and video websites broadcast it live, but even some science and education channels of some television stations also broadcasted the entire process.
On Weibo, Tieba, and various major forums, the war between humans and machines had become a revelry for all gaming enthusiasts. It had suddenly become the hottest topic in recent times.
Of course, the popularity of the war between humans and machines was not low either. The United States, Europe, j.a.pan, South Korea, and the whole world were paying attention to it.
This was mainly due to the popularity of the previous “war between humans and machines”. At the beginning, when the AI conquered chess, this topic was already very popular overseas. By the time the AI conquered all chess games, this topic had already attracted the attention of the entire world.
And this time, after five years of silence, artificial intelligence had taken another big step into the gaming industry and even conquered the complex RTS game?
This made many onlookers excited.
Humans were like that. When artificial intelligence was completely destroyed in the hands of humans, everyone felt that this thing was not a threat at all and could not be hyped up. However, in the blink of an eye, when artificial intelligence could beat all human professional players, people would quickly lose interest in it.
Only when the level of artificial intelligence and human beings were the closest would the “war between humans and machines” win unprecedented attention.
After all, a battle was only a battle when both sides were evenly matched.
On all the major live broadcasting platforms, the “war between humans and machines” live broadcast room was already flooded with a large number of viewers.
“Quickly start! I can’t wait!”
“It’s so quiet, why isn’t there any sound? I’m deaf?”
“Didn’t you turn on the system voice? What rubbish broadcast. ”
“Oh, this seems to be a room without a commentator. It’s still in the preparation stage and the scene is very quiet. Those who want to listen to the commentary can go to K-G.o.d’s live broadcast room. He’s also broadcasting the entire game live. ”
“Why isn’t Chen Mo livestreaming! Wow, it would be great if I could hear his commentary!”
“Previous post, wake up. Chen Mo has long stopped using this kind of popularity …”
A lot of comments were flooding the screen.
On the screen of the live broadcast, the scene of the war between humans and machines had already appeared.
This time, there was no special e-sports compet.i.tion venue for the war between humans and machines. There were no spectators either. The layout of the venue was very simple. There were only two computers facing each other to ensure that the spotlight could not see Origin’s screen.
Origin’s computer was also very simple, but there was a very simple logo on the back of the monitor and ORIGIN’s capital English letters.
The exterior of the logo was a seven-layered s.p.a.ce with an open eye in the center. This was the logo of Origin’s R & D Company, the seventh Horizon.
In addition, there were three judges and a staff member from seventh vision company.
The other staff, such as the ones in charge of broadcasting and commentary, were all in other rooms, so the venue was very quiet.
In fact, this was not in line with the atmosphere of e-sports, because e-sports was like traditional sports, the more lively the better. Some big compet.i.tion players could perform better in an environment with tens of thousands of audience cheers.
Even if there was a problem with reporting the location, it would be fine as long as the players wore sound-proof headphones.
Of course, seventh vision had their own considerations for arranging the venue.
On one hand, it was a continuation of the tradition of playing against go professionals. Because these Go players needed a very quiet environment to focus on their thoughts, the venue was always set up in this way, and this arrangement had continued until now.
On the other hand, it was to give the war between humans and machines a more serious atmosphere.
It was obvious that the majority of the audience would definitely be on the side of the humans. If there were a lot of people in the audience and humans were defeated by Origin, would the players cheer or not?
If they were to cheer, who were they cheering for? For the computer? The computer couldn’t hear him, and he felt like he was being “betrayed.”
If they didn’t cheer, wouldn’t the audience have no sense of existence?
Moreover, since the compet.i.tion had already reached the level of “human VS artificial intelligence”, it would be too commercialized to invite so many spectators.
Therefore, in consideration of this relationship, the venue’s layout was still the same as the previous chess compet.i.tion, and it was very quiet.
Of course, the players at Starlight still needed to wear noise-canceling headphones. This was a habit of professional players.
Starlight sat down in front of his computer. He glanced at the computer opposite him, which was empty. His expression was a little grim. He did not look relaxed at all.
Clearly, this feeling of emptiness was even more oppressive than a real human opponent. This was exactly the same as the pressure a Go player would face when facing artificial intelligence.
Origin was a silver cylinder the size of an air purifier. After connecting to the computer, it would automatically log into Warcraft and enter the official compet.i.tion room.
Obviously, Origin was an off-line version in this live game. This kind of confrontation was more fair.
Starlight had already started to adjust their equipment and warm up.
The event was divided into many live-streaming rooms on major live-streaming platforms in China.
One was the official livestream room, which would broadcast the entire situation of the venue and the compet.i.tion. However, there was only the system’s voice and no commentary.
After all, this live broadcast was for the whole world to watch, so it was not appropriate to use any language to explain it. It was better to let the other countries invite their own commentators when they broadcast it.
In addition, there were live broadcast rooms with commentators.
There were also many commentators for the game. A Science Channel in China had also specially invited a professional player like Nightwind to commentate. This was a relatively popular live broadcast room. Kaiser, who had always been popular, had also opened a livestream room to commentate. This was also a popular livestream room.
Of course, seventh vision and the other popular websites had already notified Chen Mo, since he was the one who made Warcraft.
Chen Mo was also very straightforward. After all, Warcraft wasn’t very popular now, and this event was basically advertising the game. It was a good thing, and Chen Mo couldn’t be happier.
Many players were thinking that it would be perfect if Chen Mo could commentate the war between humans and machines!
However, everyone knew that Chen Mo didn’t seem to care much about the war since the beginning. He didn’t even make a public statement, not even a Weibo post.
Commentating on a Korean player’s match live on the internet? That can’t be. It was still unknown if Chen Mo would be willing to fight on his own!
