Wu Yue and Manager Lu went through it quickly and then selected five team members, one for each position.
In fact, they originally just wanted to buy two players to fill the vacancies in the team. After all, they only had the three melons and two dates on hand, and they never thought that they could assemble a five-person all-star ioi team. .
After seeing Lin Chang and other club owners being so generous, I felt a little embarrassed if I didn’t choose!
Even two players in some positions would be good. Wu Yue and Manager Lu considered it again and again, taking into account the personalities, familiarity, cooperation, etc. of all the team members, and finalized the final five-man lineup.
These players can be said to be the players Wu Yue and Manager Lu had dreamed of before, but they had no choice but to afford them.
Before, when ioi was popular around the world and GOG was not popular all over the country, a group of talented teenagers emerged in China, but most of these talented teenagers were divided up by established clubs such as SUG. It's simply impossible to buy.
However, some time ago, with the rapid development of GOG, the overall shrinkage of the ioi national server, and the establishment of the GPL league, there are fewer and fewer domestic ioi players and the environment is getting worse and worse. Regardless of the ioi players, Still a club, they are all thinking about quitting.
The entire environment has become looser, and clubs are no longer waiting for prices and holding on to the players in their hands as before.
As for Lin Chang and his new clubs, they were not short of money. The players in the GPL league they established were too scarce, so they bought a group of ioi players at bargain prices and planned to cultivate them slowly.
Now that the clubs invested by Mr. Pei need it, wouldn’t it be enough to have one person from each club and form a five-person team?
Even for a big club like Shenhua, giving away a player for free will not have any impact on its own strength. Anyway, these players have not had the opportunity to play before, and they have to be slowly cultivated and adjusted slowly.
Now let them go back to play ioi, return to their old business, and at the same time give Mr. Pei a favor, why not?
After selecting the team members, the team leaders of each club immediately went to communicate with these players, and soon received a "yes" reply.
Because these clubs are easy to talk to and will not restrict the freedom of the players in terms of contracts. The contract stipulates that these players will play an ioi qualifying tournament after transferring to the FV club. If they fail to qualify for the World Championship, they can choose whether to return to their previous club; if they qualify for the World Championship, they will complete the World Championship. Make a decision later.
For the players, everything such as wages and benefits remains unchanged. They can play their favorite ioi again, their teammates are very good, and they can still compete in the world championship.
Such a world-class game can bring a lot of popularity and traffic. If you play well in foreign games, you can attract a lot of fans. Even if you don’t win the qualifying round, you can return to your original club at any time without any restrictions. loss.
So, these players also readily agreed.
Lin Chang said with a smile: "Okay, since the players have agreed, let's sign the contract. You will take them away today. Time is tight. Let's go and train hard!"< /p>
Wu Yue was deeply moved, and now he felt deeply what it means to have someone do things easily.
Actually, he didn't think much about it at first. He just wanted to give it a try and wanted to buy two players to complete the team.
Unexpectedly, these club owners were so supportive for the sake of Mr. Pei. These outstanding ioi players were almost given away for free. The FV club only had to pay the salary for the qualifying period. good.
Originally, Wu Yue felt that the FV club's chances of breaking out of the qualifying round were very slim. After all, the team's hard power was here, and it would definitely not be able to be significantly improved overnight.
But now with such a star team of ioi, Wu Yue is suddenly full of confidence!
Although this team still needs to be integrated, veteran teams like SUG also need to be integrated. When rookies are pecking each other, FV Club will have a chance!
Wu Yue and Manager Lu quickly signed the contract and met the five team members.
The two shook hands with the team members, with admiration and joy in their eyes.
Wu Yue finished shaking hands and said with some confusion: "You all have strong hands."
He also often gets along with the players on his team, but he feels The players on his team were all either skinny or bloated. As a result, the five players were all in shape and had strong hands.
Lin Chang smiled: "Oh, they have all been training according to the DGE training method for a while, and their muscle mass has increased."
Manager Lu looked at them One of the team members said: "Pan Ying, can you be the captain from now on?"
Pan Ying has the smallest eyes among the five team members and is somewhat unattractive. But Manager Lu knows very well that Pan Ying has just turned 17 this year. He has been a high-scoring player in ioi for a long time. He plays a supporting position and is a rare commanding player.
Early when selecting the team members, Wu Yue and Manager Lu had actually decided to let Pan Yinglai take the position of captain and lead the team.
Pan Ying nodded: "Yes, but can I make some suggestions about training?"
Wu Yue nodded: "Of course! From now on, we will be a family. , If you have any requests, please feel free to raise them."
Pan Ying looked at the other four team members and said, "Let me just say a few words. If you have any different opinions, you can raise them at any time."
"First of all, I hope that daily training can continue to adopt the DGE mode and be played according to the training methods of the GOG team, including distribution, field of view layout, line transfer operations, etc., also according to GOG's methods."
“Secondly, I hope that everyone can go to the high-level international server to play solo training and recover their individual skills.technology. "
"In the end, I hope to use the remaining players to form a sparring team and test various routines. "
Wu Yue nodded immediately: "No problem! FV Club originally had three members, and with two more members, they could form a sparring team. The two teams would improve faster by practicing with each other. ”
Manager Lu said with some uncertainty: “It’s okay to use GOG’s training method, but is it really okay to use GOG’s playing method to play ioi?” "
Pan Ying nodded: "I think it's okay. ”
“After playing GOG training matches during this period and thoroughly studying the tactics of each team, I feel that the GOG team is indeed better than ioi in understanding the game. ”
“Including line transfer operations, lineup selection, etc., they all inspired me a lot. In fact, the main difference between the two lies in hero selection, game rhythm, etc., but there are also many commonalities. As long as you can make good use of these commonalities and apply some of GOG's tactics to ioi, you may be able to achieve a surprise victory. ”
Manager Lu was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Is this okay?
Although it sounds a bit outrageous, after all, the games of GOG and ioi are very different. Big, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.
Although GOG came out late, the professionalization of e-sports was much earlier than ioi, and the DGE club has been beating other teams. , the overall level has improved very quickly.
Although these two games are different, they are the same type of games after all, and they have something in common in terms of game operation ideas.
These players are all skilled in operations and have a good understanding of ioi. If they can integrate and use the operational ideas in GOG games, maybe they can achieve surprising results in the World Championship?
It’s hard to say whether he can get a ranking. If he can win the qualifying round, it would be good to be in the nest!
Wu Yue nodded: “Okay, no problem, these requirements can be met, you can let it go! Just go fight and train seriously! "
......
At the same time, ioi's domestic qualifying competition is also being intensively prepared.
This time the qualifying competition is in Shanghai. Let's start the fight. After all, the national server headquarters of Zhidou Company and Longyu Group are both in Magic City, and Magic City has many clubs and a strong e-sports atmosphere, so it is the best choice from all aspects.
The venue for the qualifying competition is an indoor studio in a shopping mall in Shanghai. The venue is not large and can accommodate 600 people. The venue is almost decorated.
It is not as grand as GPL, but it is still decent. .
Ding Gan and Zhao Xuming walked around the qualifying venue twice and talked about the recent preparations for the qualifying match.
Ding Gan said: "Mr. Zhao, the team has already finished. It's done, don't worry. However, our three clubs are also bleeding a lot in order to buy people. If we fail to qualify in the qualifying rounds, we will lose money...”
Zhao Xuming smiled: “Don’t you think you can qualify yet? This time we are here to help you put pressure on those small clubs and ask them to sell people. If you still can't get out of the league, don't you deserve it? "
Ding Gan laughed twice: "That's right. ”
This time when the team was formed, various clubs were in a mess. Although Longyu Group has reserved three established clubs, it still costs a lot of money to buy people from other clubs.
Other clubs are reluctant to sell people, so they naturally have to pay higher transfer fees. Old clubs like SUG are already at a disadvantage and can only accept it
< p>But bosses like Ding Gan didn't think too much. After all, spending money to buy a chance to appear in the ioi World Championship was not a loss.All those small clubs were dismantled. , and SUG and other three established clubs have been strengthened, and the possibility of being eliminated in the qualifying round is very slim.
Ding Gan looked at the competition venue and sighed softly: "It's a pity that this venue is there. Compared with GPL venues, the layout is still a lot worse. "
Zhao Xuming said: "There is no way, let's watch the World Championship. ”
Both Longyu Group and Zhidou Company are short of money, but the key depends on where they spend it.
It is too expensive to rent venues and decorate them. Building a big venue and spending a lot of money on renovations, but only a few games are played, and the attention is not high. Isn’t this a waste of money?
If you have money, you can’t be willing to spend it like this. .
So Longyu Group decided to choose a makeshift studio as long as it was passable.
Anyway, the ioi World Finals will be held in the United States, and it will definitely be a spectacle. It will be fine if it overshadows GOG's finals.
The domestic qualifying competition is nothing more than a formality to allow SUG and other three teams to enter the world championship legitimately. As for the venue, it will be okay.
