Chapter 129: Chapter 110: The Three Titans of GAL_2
The big brother sure speaks boldly, he’s already calling dibs on the championship for the second stage just upon entering.
The GAL audience reacted differently to Old Huang’s domineering statent.
Star Emperor, right!
Initially colonized by the graphics card forum on the day it was established, intended for discussions about "Star Emperor" ga content, later turned into an esports-related forum.
In this forum, people are also talking about Old Huang personally stepping in and his arrogant remarks, as well as the recently concluded Jiangning Station competition.
"To be fair, isn’t Old Huang entering a bit late now? Missing out on Jiangning Station points, the yearly championship might be a bit far-fetched!"
"The AMD championship is definitely secure, do you even understand the prestige of the first championship?"
"A card fanboys start again, if your A-dad is so great, how did he lose to Intel? Laughable!"
"Stop with the labels, can Intel’s dedicated graphics really be used? They smoke after ten moves, anyone who understands matches wouldn’t try to pit Intel against AMD..."
"A loss is a loss, don’t deny it! If you ask
what championship Intel has, I can only tell you, it’s the beat-down championship!"
The forum is very lively.
When Chen Ba first scrolled to the "Star Emperor" forum’s popular posts, he was curious about what it was discussing.
Once he clicked in, well!
The atmosphere discussing the competition is just like a battle, fans from various teams, A cards and N cards, along with Intel causing trouble, are all arguing fiercely here.
AMD won the Jiangning Station championship, though it was earned through sheer strength, losing to Intel in one match makes for quite the topic.
"Intel isn’t weak."
Lu ca over and said: "While everyone thinks hardware outweighs players, personal skills of players are also very crucial."
"Indeed!"
Chen Ba nodded his head.
In GAL’s competition, although the main focus is the technical heritage of each team’s contest, player skill is also a factor not to be underestimated.
Intel reaching top three at Jiangning Station relied not just on technical prowess, but also on Xu Xiaofei’s individual skills.
"During the transfer period, Xu Xiaofei will definitely be hotly contested by various teams! Unless Intel bleeds, it won’t keep him..."
"Do we even have a transfer period?"
Lu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Of course!"
Chen Ba glanced at him and explained: "GAL is a serious professional league, there has to be a transfer chanism for players, obviously."
In the GAL league, especially for prodigious talents like Xu Xiaofei, with GAL league becoming increasingly popular, they will surely be in high demand.
Currently he belongs to Intel, but which team he’ll serve in the future is yet to be determined...
From what Chen Ba knows, ever since Jiangning Station competition ended, several teams have privately approached Xu Xiaofei, attempting to poach Intel’s star player.
Luckily, Chen Ba intervened just in ti.
Initially, there were no transfer-related rules, and it hadn’t occurred that such a thing would happen. When Xu Xiaofei was poached, he added the transfer rules.
The new rules state that each year from May to July is the transfer period, during which players and teams can engage in listing, transferring, registering, and other operations.
No contact is allowed at other tis.
This is to maintain a good league environnt, otherwise, without transfer limitations and regulations, clubs poaching from each other would eventually ruin the league.
"By the way, Xu Xiaofei signed a standard contract with Intel, no breach fees and no term limits."
Chen Ba shook his head and said: "That’s why I said, Intel is likely unable to keep him."
A million-dollar annual salary?
In a few months, Xu Xiaofei might earn tens of millions annually! After all, if GAL can asure up to the F1 event, he might very well beco the GAL Schumacher.
By football and LOL esports standards, he’d be the next Faker or ssi.
Although he currently lacks honors, isn’t there the possibility that the league has only held its first tour? As long as he keeps up his current state, he’s sure to bag championships galore?
...
The new GAL league is highly on-demand and popular!
Even many laypeople who don’t play "Star Emperor" have been drawn by the competition’s vibe, starting to watch the event’s live stream.
This is a good phenonon!
Although the GAL league is destined not to beco as wildly popular as the LOL professional league, nor can it have as many viewers.
But this event has a very high prestige.
Just reading off the list of those World Top 500 sponsors is daunting enough! Moreover, various PC hardware manufacturers are vigorously helping to promote the GAL league voluntarily.
Graphics cards, CPUs, mory sticks, solid-state drives, monitors, and even mice and keyboards have GAL co-branded new releases.
This led directly to...
The current computer components have spawned a special "GAL series." These are generally flagship products from each manufacturer, as long as the money isn’t sparse, buying a set of GAL hardware can’t go wrong.
Previously, when assembling PCs, people generally favored Daren Shuo’s ROG, considering it the true faith!
Now, the faith has beco GAL.
Even without fancy RGB lighting effects, GAL hardware might seem dull and bulky, but it is unanimously recognized as the strongest component by digital enthusiasts.
Of course!
ROG is still substantial; Daren Shuo noticed the decline in brand influence after realizing this, imdiately deciding to add the ROG brand in the subsequent GAL league.
This promptly halted the slide, tying the brand series to the GAL league.
"After all, it’s been a faith for so many years, ROG is not going down so easily."
Chen Ba shook his head and said: "In another light, if Daren Shuo can make a na in GAL league, even bagging an annual championship once, ROG’s halo will shine even brighter."
But that’s quite challenging!
With NVIDIA personally stepping onto the field, the GAL league’s three giants’ formation is officially established. AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, these three teams are imnsely ahead.
It’s a bit like F1 where Ferrari, rcedes, and Red Bull teams are far ahead in both valuation and influence.
No exception.
The GAL23-24 annual championship is also expected to be contested among AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel.
Spectators and fans lean towards AMD, given its recent triumph at Jiangning Station, amassing 27 points with montum strongly in favor.
Yet, Chen Ba thinks that though NVIDIA entered later and missed Jiangning Station points, there’s a high probability it will still suppress all defiant opponents!
"Why?"
Yang Dong was curious, is NVIDIA really that strong? Why couldn’t he see it?
"First, ’Star Emperor’ is ultimately a ga reliant on graphic processing, NVIDIA is the big brother of discrete graphics, no questions there."
Chen Ba raised his finger and said: "Secondly, NVIDIA’s AI technology, combined with ’Star Emperor’s’ enthusiastic optimization, will have miraculous effects."
He’s already tested it.
Old Huang not only gifted Tianba Studio with desktop-grade graphics processors but also gave several AI chips.
Chen Ba experinted, NVIDIA’s AI chips significantly help the system.
Used in ’Star Emperor,’ enthusiastic optimization doesn’t easily run into issues. Used in ’Divine Grace Continent,’ NPC generation speeds up, and behavior logic is smarter...
Enthusiastic optimization is a small incrent.
NVIDIA’s AI chips, including dostic AI chips, used in ’Divine Grace Continent,’ are indeed the true "Extre Sublimation"!
He even has a hypothesis.
If one runs ’Divine Grace Continent’s’ NPC auto-generation using computational power standards set for training large AI models...
"NPCs can talk!"
Chen Ba confidently stated: "Undoubtedly, given enough computational power, ’Divine Grace Continent’ will spark another upheaval in the animation industry."
This ti, maybe even voice actors and editors aren’t needed.
Only a scriptwriter and a director are required, using ChatGPT-like dialogue forms to convey keyword requirents to NPCs, who can follow a "director’s" instructions to act and recite lines.
Individual users, limited by computational power, certainly can’t do this.
But enterprise users, especially those willing to invest, using advanced AI chips and ’Divine Grace Continent’s’ core, can definitely achieve this.
