Pei Qian rubbed his eyes and looked carefully at the team logo on the big screen.
That’s right, it’s the FV club, the weak club I invested in?
Why does the commentator use the term "all-star" to describe it?
Can these three players who no one wants can be considered All-Stars?
That doesn’t make sense?
Amid Pei Qian's doubts, the game continued to advance.
The camera began to record the preparations of the players, and close-ups of each player appeared on the big screen, indicating their game ID, real name, age, game rank, heroes they are good at, and other information.
The contestants also noticed that the camera was filming close-ups and had different reactions.
Some greeted the audience, some posed, and others were indifferent and still busy warming up their hands in practice mode.
The two commentators are also introducing detailed information about these players to the audience, including their professional time, interesting anecdotes from their professional experiences, and interesting jokes.
"What everyone is seeing now is the top laner of FV Club. He is one of the earliest star players in the ioi game. He has already made a name for himself in the world server before the national server was opened. , very experienced, and also known for his fierce playing style and strong suppression."
"Next is the mid laner of the FV club. He is very young. He is only 17 years old this year and has played more than 20 players. Different mid lane heroes have ranked first in the ioi world server, and he is truly a genius. Today we can wait and see his performance."
"The jungler of the FV club was not particularly famous before. The newcomer is said to be acquainted by the mid laner in RANK. He has been playing in the duo queue and has a good understanding. Today we can look forward to the cooperation between the two of them."
"The FV club's bottom lane duo was originally SUG. The club’s star bot laner is also known as the first bot lane team in ioi’s national server. There were rumors a while ago that the two seemed to be transitioning to GOG, but no definite news came out. Unexpectedly, they appeared in the first game again. It’s a head-to-head confrontation with the old club. I wonder what kind of sparks will be created between the two sides?”
“On the other hand, the SUG club’s lineup originally revolved around the core of the bottom lane, but the other three The strength of the old players cannot be underestimated, and they may have some advantages in terms of tactics and tacit understanding.”
“We don’t know why the SUG club wants to replace the star bottom duo. Maybe it’s because of the new players. The bottom lane performed better than the original bottom lane, so it was released to the FV club?"
"In short, today's game is full of highlights and worth looking forward to!"
In the audience, Ding Gan, the owner of SUG Club, was also watching the game. After hearing what the commentator said, he was so angry that his teeth itched.
Does the new bottom lane perform better than the original bottom lane?
What a hammer!
There was no news about the ioi World Championship at that timeInterested, Ding Gan felt that there was no use in raising this ioi team, and SHG gave a lot of transfer fees, so he sold this bottom lane combination!
If I had known that the ioi World Championship would start so soon, I wouldn’t have sold it at all!
Ding Gan knew in his heart that although the new bottom lane duo was good, they were still incomparable to the original two, and there was a big gap in terms of hard power.
But there is nothing we can do. The team members who are released will be unable to recover.
Ding Gan was anxious and angry, and he was extremely panicked.
Pei Qian, who was not far away from him and was also sitting in the VIP seat, was also panicking at this time.
Although he didn’t know any of these players, the commentary had explained them in such detail, and he should have a clear and objective understanding of the strength of the entire team.
For this team to be called the "All-Stars" is really not an exaggeration at all!
The veteran top laner in the top lane, the lane king in the mid lane, the jungler is the lane king’s royal jungler, and the star duo in the bottom lane is still the core of SUG’s tactics. This lineup on paper is outrageous!
Now Pei Qian is only wondering about one question, where did Wu Yue, the owner of FV Club, get these people from!
Didn’t you just give him three million? With this little money, I can only buy one or two good players if I can't survive, and other clubs may not be willing to sell them.
We directly formed a dream team and brought together all the best people who play ioi in China. This is outrageous!
Pei Qian quickly took out his mobile phone and entered the live broadcast room of the ioi qualifying competition to see what the barrage said.
"What the hell? Is the FV club turning around? Did the boss win the lottery? Why did they suddenly make an effort to form an all-star team? Where did the money come from?"
" A ten-year old FV fan came here uninvited!"
"It's a good scene to beat up your old club!"
"There seems to be a sharp contrast between the two sides. He has a tall and straight figure and a good temperament, which is in sharp contrast to the skinny monkeys like SUG."
"I remember that these two guys in the bottom lane were quite thin when they were in SUG, but they feel so bulky now. He's up and his temperament has improved? Did FV hire a plastic surgeon? Or did he go through some secret training?"
"So why did SUG release this top bot lane duo? It was sold directly to other clubs? It should be said that this kind of thing is not for sale, no matter how much the transfer fee is, it can't be sold!"
"I don't know, there were rumors that these two people felt that ioi is dying, so it wants to transform into GOG. There were even rumors that a team in the GPL bought them, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
“No wonder the FV club tried their best to promote it before the game. I used to wonder why they spent money to make wedding dresses for others, but now I understand that they are building momentum for themselves! "
The competition hasn’t even started yet, but the barrage has already heated up significantly.
Although the competition in the morning seemed to be quite popular, the barrage was not intensive, probably because there were not many hot topics to discuss.
But as soon as the FV Club debuted in the afternoon and saw the all-star lineup, many old ioi players and viewers could not contain their excitement and began to discuss it enthusiastically.
After the promotion of FV Club and Longyu Group, although the ioi qualifying competition is still far less popular than the GPL League, it has at least captured all the domestic ioi old players and viewers.
Now, all the hard-earned attention is focused on FV, the all-star team that emerged from nowhere.
Even before the game started, it had already gained enough popularity.
Pei Qian and Ding Gan were both in the audience, watching the progress of the game with fear.
......
"Let us congratulate FV! Although they experienced some twists and turns during the game, they still won the game without any danger!"
During the passionate commentary, the victory scene appeared on the big screen. The five members of the FV Club were high-spirited and seemed to have a domineering spirit that was superior to the others.
The players packed up their equipment and left the field. There were not many excited expressions on the faces of the FV Club players, but they acted very calmly.
The qualifying schedule this time is relatively tight. There are four teams in the group. It is a BO1 single round-robin and is completed in one afternoon, so every small game is very important.
The strength of SUG in this group is significantly higher than the other two teams, so FV is basically certain to qualify after winning this game.
As for whether SUG can qualify, it depends on whether it will overturn in the next game.
The two commentators began to comment on the game.
“We saw in this game that it seemed that the players of FV Club were not particularly happy after winning. Maybe they were not particularly satisfied with today’s performance, or they had higher expectations for themselves. expectations."
"Indeed, from the performance in the game, we can clearly see that the personal ability of the FV club is higher than that of SUG, but in terms of personnel selection and tactical execution, it seems that There are some flaws, otherwise this game may become even less suspenseful."
"Does this mean that the current FV has not yet completed its adjustment?"
"Me. I don’t think it’s all a matter of running-in, there seems to be some problems with their tactical system and game understanding. We can see that the heroes they choose first are not the strongest version of heroes currently recognized. They prefer team-based heroes, and in the game. In terms of playing style and understanding of the game, there is not too much emphasis on personal abilities, which seems a bit incompatible with the mainstream playing style of other teams..."
"Is it that their team's tactical team has some different opinions on the game version?understand? ”
“It is possible, but this understanding of the game does not seem to be particularly mature. Today FV can beat SUG mainly because of its stronger personal strength. If it encounters a foreign team whose personal ability is not inferior to FV, , there is a question mark as to whether we can win this game..."
The two commentators told the truth, because in their opinion, the FV team's playing style is indeed a bit strange. It seems incompatible with the current mainstream play style.
Furthermore, this style of play does not actually produce very good results. Instead, it places too much emphasis on teamwork, which creates certain limitations in hero selection and in-game decision-making. The players' personal strength was not fully utilized.
But these words sounded like complete ridicule to Ding Gan.
"What do you mean? Where are we practicing our lineup? ”
“Who are you looking down on? ”
“You still put on a bad face after winning. Damn it, these people are too crazy!” ”
Ding Gan was so angry that losing the game was nothing, but the opponent still lost in practice lineup. In his opinion, FV was deliberately showing off their team’s strength.
What, you don’t agree? The All-Star team can do whatever they want!
That’s pretty much it.
When Ding Gan thought that FV’s bottom duo was originally released, Even more angry. If this duo is still there, how could SUG lose?
But Ding Gan is still angry, but Ding Gan also knows that winning or losing in this game does not matter, anyway. There are two qualifying teams, and SUG will appear no matter what. What we really need to worry about is tomorrow's knockout round.
The knockout round is BO5. One of the four teams has to be eliminated, and it depends on who is the winner. Unlucky guy.
......
At the same time, Jingzhou, the GPL competition scene
Zhang Yuan, Ye Zhizhou, Xiao Peng and others are in charge. People are watching the opening game of the GPL.
The two teams are currently the two strongest teams in the GPL, and they are also the champions and runners-up of the previous World Championship. The game is tense and exciting.
In the BO3 format, the two sides have already tied 1:1 and entered the decisive game. The atmosphere at the scene has reached its highest point.
In the warm cheers, fans from both sides cheered for the two teams. Then the whole audience shouted "Come on DGE", forming a special competition culture.
The votes of the people within the Tenda Group were neither the first nor the last, but they chose the center slightly forward.
Because the tickets in the front row are reserved for the core fans and supporters of both teams, the free tickets provided by insiders cannot affect the fans’ viewing experience.
The final game. Still in the BP interface, Zhang Yuan took out his mobile phone and checked the players' comments on the Internet. He found that only a small number of people were discussing the opening game itself, and most of the topics were focused on the match between the ioi qualifying tournament and the GPL opening game.Than above.
"The venue gap between the two sides is also too big. Isn't this competition co-organized by Longyu Group and Zhidou Company? Why is the venue so shabby?"
"To be honest, ioi The game feels like a complete copy of GOG. Even the layout, the BP and the viewing interface in the game have a strong sense of familiarity. Is it really okay?”
“I think it’s okay, it’s all fine. Don’t be so harsh on games of the same type.”
“Hey, who made it so late for the ioi competition? GOG’s competition has already been successful, and everything is perfect. , ioi can easily give people the feeling of imitating it, although in terms of time, ioi was released earlier than GOG.”
“But it’s still a bit boring to learn from, and the details are much different. Let’s talk about player image. You see, the players on the GPL side are all tall and straight and have completely different mental outlooks. On the other hand, on the ioi side, except for the players on the FV team who are pretty good, the others are still like Internet-addicted teenagers. It feels like the image is quite different."
"Indeed, the accumulation of such details makes people feel that ioi's competition is like a copycat version of GPL."
“Tengda is still awesome. I feel like it has single-handedly taken the entire e-sports industry a big step forward!”
Obviously, the vast majority of viewers feel that GPL The excitement of the league completely overwhelmed the ioi qualifying rounds.
On the one hand, this is because GOG has more players, and on the other hand, it is because the details of GPL are better.
One point that has been mentioned repeatedly is the image of the players. Most of the GPL players have standard figures, and there are a few muscular men who look very sunny and handsome, giving people a positive feeling; on the other hand, the players on ioi still look like more traditional Internet-addicted teenagers. , it fell behind in terms of image.
The accumulation of details like this makes ioi's competitions invisibly lower than the GPL by a level, which makes people naturally feel that "ioi's competitions are copycat GPL".
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Now that I think about it, Mr. Pei is really strategizing."
"GOG's success in the field of e-sports is not only the success of the game, but also the success of the game. It is also the success of the details. Besides Mr. Pei, who else could predict in advance the importance of player image to the popularity of e-sports competitions?”
“Mr. Pei determines training standards through the DGE club and guides other clubs to do the same. Paying attention to the physical training of players not only ensures the physical health of players, but also enhances the image of the league..."
"This is equivalent to establishing a moat for GOG, and the game and video games The two fields of competition protect each other and complement each other."
Ye Zhizhou, who was sitting aside, said: "Speaking of which, it's the final game. How can you say that this is also the opening ceremony? Fight."
It stands to reason that this is the first day of the GPL, which is of great significance. ioi has held another qualifying competition, which has put a little pressure on the GPL. You should really come and see it.
Xiao Peng, who was sitting on the other side, said: "Perhaps Mr. Pei feels that he already has a chance to win. The ioi qualifying competition cannot pose any threat to the GPL, so he doesn't come to watch."
< p>Zhang Yuan chuckled and said: "You all guessed wrong. Actually, Mr. Pei is not in Jingzhou now."Ye Zhizhou was stunned for a moment: "Not in Jingzhou? Are you on a business trip?"
p>
Zhang Yuan lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Pei went to the Magic City to watch the ioi game by himself!"
Both Ye Zhizhou and Xiao Peng had slightly surprised expressions on their faces. .
Mr. Pei went to the Magic City alone and went deep into the local lair to watch the battle?
Because Mr. Pei has always given people the impression of a wise general who strategizes and wins thousands of miles away. As long as he is in Jingzhou, nothing happening across the country can escape his eyes.
But now Mr. Pei actually went to the Magic City in person, to the site of the ioi competition... For some reason, this behavior seems to have the feeling of attending a meeting alone in everyone's eyes.
While sighing, Xiao Peng felt a little confused: "But, if it is just to spy on the enemy's situation at close range, is it necessary for Mr. Pei to go in person?"
Zhang Yuan haha Yixiao: "Of course it's not just to spy on the enemy. How could Mr. Pei have a single purpose in doing things? There must be a complete plan!"
"In fact, Mr. Pei has already invested in FV Club privately , laying a foreshadowing in ioi's team."
"I think Mr. Pei is probably waiting for a suitable opportunity. FV Club may become the winner of ioi and GOG in the e-sports field. You can't tell with your hands!"
"As for how it will be done...I don't know, let's wait and see!"
Ye Zhizhou and Xiao Peng nodded in agreement.
......
"Let us congratulate FV Club and SUG Club for obtaining the final qualifying places!"
"Tomorrow morning and afternoon, we will conduct two rounds of competitions respectively. A BO5 will determine the final spot for the World Championship, please wait and see!"
Ding Gan, who had been sweating in the audience, finally relaxed a little.
The afternoon group match was a close call for SUG. Although they lost to FV Club in the first game, they still won the next round without any risk and secured the second qualifying spot in the group. .
Tomorrow’s knockout schedule is still full. The first and second places in the two groups will play a BO5 respectively. The two winners will compete for the top seed, and the two losers will compete for the last spot.
This time ioi’s World Championship schedule is protected by competition zones.
Because Zhao Xuming knows very well that the current io of the national serverThe i team is not strong enough. If it plays against a strong foreign team, it is very likely that it will be beaten violently. It must raise its hand in the competition system to avoid losing face.
So, Chretien and the top management of Finger Company decided that the No. 1 seeds in each division would start playing in the quarter-finals, while the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds would play in the group stage.
This can avoid the situation where all teams are wiped out in the group stage, and at least keep the attention of domestic players until the quarterfinals.
If the strongest team in the country is still beaten after being sent to the quarterfinals... then there is really no way.
After watching SUG torture the remaining two teams, Ding Gan's mentality became much more stable.
“It seems that it’s not our SUG’s problem, it’s that this FV is too strong.”
“Looking on the bright side, it would be a good thing to run into FV in the group stage. Basically, tomorrow It is unlikely that we will meet him."
"We will play two BO5s tomorrow. As long as we don't touch the FV club, we will still be able to qualify."
Ding Gan kept comforting himself. , the mentality finally stabilized.
The game ended very late, and the audience left the stage one after another. Ding Gan also stood up and prepared to go backstage to express condolences to his team members.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Ding Gan was sitting in the VIP seat in the front row. Many people had already stood up to leave. A large number of seats were vacant, but only a figure wearing a black mask was still sitting in his seat. He looked a little out of place.
Ding Gan frowned and looked carefully. Although this man was wearing a mask, his facial features and clothes seemed familiar.
"Mr. Pei?!"
After the SUG club was expelled from the GPL, Ding Gan made a special trip to Jingzhou and met Mr. Pei once, so he recognized come out.
After confirming Mr. Pei’s identity, Ding Gan suddenly had many thoughts in his mind.
All the conspiracies seemed to be connected at this moment.
Why does FV Club take the initiative to spend money on publicity?
Where do the star players of FV Club come from?
Ding Gan believes that Mr. Pei must have many hidden methods, but he has not seen them yet.
All of this is obviously Mr. Pei’s plan. It is just a game of chess between GOG and ioi in the field of e-sports, and SUG and other clubs are actually just pawns!
Mr. Pei even went to the Magic City in person to attend the ioi qualifying competition to appreciate his layout up close.
Like a perverted murderer, after committing a crime, he has to go back to the scene of the crime to gain a sense of satisfaction from close observation.
Ding Gan suddenly shuddered!
