In fact, it is easy to understand why these players are scolding each other.
Due to the time difference, most of the viewers who were able to see it now got up at 3 o'clock in the morning. As a result, after working hard for several hours to cultivate immortality, they only saw such a result. It's hard to accept.
Today’s game can be said to have reproduced the situation on the first day of the group stage.
One team loses like diarrhea, and the other team loses like constipation.
The front team was okay, at least they were eliminated cleanly. The final result was 1-3. Fortunately, they didn’t get shaved and retained the last trace of their dignity; while the latter team was relatively good. It was embarrassing. I persisted until the extra round of life and death, and if I won, I would be promoted. During the game, both sides were victorious. It seemed that they had a great chance, but in the end, they were still a little short.
A slightest mistake can lead to a thousand miles of misunderstanding.
What makes the audience more angry if there is no hope? Or does it make the audience more angry when it gives the audience a lot of hope, only to be ruthlessly deprived of it in the end?
It’s really hard to say.
But there is no doubt that the audience's anger must have an outlet.
The two clubs posted Weibo apologies to players as soon as they were eliminated, but it was of no use. The angry players immediately took over all the hot comments on Weibo, and Someone has already planned a return route for them.
Pei Qian seemed to have seen the grand scene online after FV Club was defeated 3:0 in the quarterfinals.
Although these two clubs lost, they are not the No. 1 seeds and do not represent the highest level of domestic ioi.
So if you get scolded, you will get scolded, and most of them will only be scolded for a week.
When FV Club’s quarterfinals start next weekend and the No. 1 seed is defeated 3:0, the anger of the audience will definitely be concentrated on FV Club, and the anger will be ten times worse than now. .
Pei Qian has a little expectation.
At this moment, FV Club posted a Weibo message.
Wu Yue has not forgotten Mr. Pei’s request and is working hard all the time!
The new Weibo content this time is: "My teammates and I", and the picture on the Weibo is of a person going out, holding a large black garbage bag in his left hand and right hand, walking towards the distance trash can.
On this person’s head is the logo of the FV club, and the two big garbage bags are the logos of the other two clubs.
When Pei Qian saw this Weibo, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Well done!
This Wu Yue really did exactly what I said, this hatred is so powerful!
The two domestic clubs have just been eliminated in less than ten minutes. The audience who stayed up late to watch the game just had no way to vent their anger. As soon as FV Club posted this Weibo, they simply found a new one for them. The perfect place to vent!
Sure enough, the number of comments under this Weibo increased rapidly visibly.long.
"Good job! Those two teams are rubbish! They just spoke my mind!"
"Good job, I suggest you increase your efforts!"
"FV, you must train hard. I won't criticize you after five games in the quarter-finals."
"Why don't you put this whole job on hold? Have you practiced the strong heroes in the version? Prepare your secret weapons. Have you paid attention to the mental state of the players? You are the only one. If you lose 3:0, it will be over!"
"Can you work hard and win a small game?" /p>
"You know how to add insult to injury. It would make you happy to see your brother's team be eliminated. Let's put it this way. No matter which foreign team is drawn, it will be defeated by 3:0! You are jumping more and more now. Gao, I will be sprayed harder in the future, just wait!"
The two groups of people, the pros and cons, were dancing wildly and fighting under this Weibo of FV Club.
The fans who were angry at the other two clubs all felt that FV Club did a good job and found an outlet to vent their emotions; the fans of the other two clubs were heartbroken and felt that they were angry with each other. FV Club's hatred value once again exploded.
Some people hope that FV will win, and some people hope that FV will lose. Players with different positions are all attracted. This Weibo once again aroused a high level of attention.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this.
The higher the praise, the worse the fall; the more traffic is used now, the more serious the traffic backlash will be if the game is lost in the future!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian sent a message to Wu Yue: "The new work is going well, increase your efforts!"
......
At the same time , Los Angeles, the scene of the ioi global finals.
Zhao Xuming was scrolling through his cell phone in the audience, groaning angrily.
“Is this FV club crazy?”
“They just don’t think about how ugly it would be if they lost the game and were beaten 3:0? ”
“You don’t leave any way for yourself?”
“You talk so fast that everyone gets embarrassed. Isn’t this sick?”< /p>
Zhao Xuming was simply furious.
At this time, all group matches have ended, the first place in each group has qualified, the four group firsts and the four No. 1 seeds will be redrawn to determine the quarterfinal schedule.
For Zhao Xuming, the current scene is a double blow.
His ideal scenario is that at least one domestic team will make it out of the group stage, and if you are lucky in the lottery, you can try out the FV club, and the domestic team will be guaranteed to be a semi-finalist. This way, it will be relatively decent.
As a result, both teams in the group stage were eliminated. Naturally, FV Club, a soft persimmon, had to take advantage of others!
As for why FV is said to be a soft persimmon, isn’t this obvious?
Longyu Group is completely free of charge to FV Club. They neither play high-end rankings nor compete with any European clubs.The US team made an appointment for a training match, but their play style was still stuck in the previous version. Isn’t this for nothing?
It doesn’t matter if you have been practicing with SUG, SUG is still a rookie and can only get better with more practice.
When the time comes, FV will also be beaten 3:0 cleanly, and the scene will be too ugly.
What hit Zhao Xuming and Zhidou Company even more was that, apart from the domestic teams, there were upsets!
The other two groups also fought fiercely, and both fought to the point of life and death. The audience enjoyed watching it very much, and the discussion on the Internet was also very high. In short, everything was beautiful.
The only bad thing is that it was an upset!
An old club that had been forced to terminate its contract by Zhidou Company was actually eliminated! Another team, which everyone was not optimistic about and had no arrangements for forced termination, entered the quarterfinals.
As a result, Zhao Xuming counted carefully and found that one of the eight teams had a GOG logo on its uniform!
There is no GOG logo on the FV club’s uniforms, but the problem is that everyone now knows that this is a club invested by Mr. Pei, and it doesn’t matter if it has a logo or not.
This is very depressing.
The difference between 0 and 1 is the difference between nothing and something. This matter is not very serious, but it is very painful.
So Zhao Xuming became more and more angry as he watched the draw for the quarter-finals.
At this juncture, FV Club has done several good things in succession, mocking two domestic teams and all the foreign teams in the quarterfinals, highlighting one with full firepower.
Zhao Xuming became even more angry.
The key is to ridicule the domestic teams and make Zhao Xuming feel that he is very embarrassed!
For the official, although the team lost, it certainly cannot be ignored. This will affect the image of the official, the entire competition area, and even the game in the minds of players.
No matter how bad the performance is, the officials must mainly express regret and encouragement, and it must be acceptable in terms of face.
So, when Longyu Group officially issued a press release, the main content must be: the two teams have trained hard and made many attempts and changes during the game. However, due to version understanding, We failed to achieve good results due to objective reasons such as a weak foundation. We hope to adjust our status and continue our efforts. We also hope that players will have more support and encouragement, etc.
But the FV club jumped out to ridicule, which seemed to be against the official, and the scene was not good-looking.
What's more, these two teams were brought to Los Angeles for early training by Zhao Xuming with money from the Longyu Group. He spent the money but had no results. Zhao Xuming was not easy to explain to the senior officials of the Longyu Group.
No matter how much I think about it, I feel like I am losing blood!
Zhao Xuming couldn't help but frown, thinking seriously about what he had to do to reverse this unfavorable situation.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw the lottery results on the big screen, and his eyes lit up.
Yes!
The rules of the draw are that the four No. 1 seeds draw the first place in the four groups, and whoever is drawn counts. There are no rules such as circumventing the same division.
And the FV club just picked the European club that was killing the domestic teams!
The veteran strong team FRY Club is an American club that defeated another domestic team in a life-and-death game after a hard-fought battle.
According to the current strength, these two quarter-finals matches will be one-sided crushing, and the viewing experience will be relatively poor.
But for Zhao Xuming, this grouping provides him with a valuable opportunity to manipulate public opinion.
Zhao Xuming’s assistant is sitting next to him, also paying attention to the feedback on the Internet.
The difference is that Zhao Xuming mainly focuses on China, while the assistant mainly focuses on the comments of foreign players on Twitter.
"Mr. Zhao, the picture of FV Club has also gone viral on Twitter."
"Many people are already using words like 'cnioinoob' , and there are still people who use that picture to recreate it, and the target of ridicule has been raised to all domestic ioi teams..."
"What should we do?"
Zhao Xuming Taking the phone from the assistant.
The FV Club’s picture of “Me and My Teammates” was posted on Weibo and Twitter at the same time, and both gained a lot of popularity.
However, the feedback from players at home and abroad is different. Domestic players are divided into two groups, some are criticizing the two clubs, and some are criticizing FV. However, the attitude of foreign players is relatively unified, and they are all mocking.
Under this tweet, many foreign players are using "cnioinoob", which means that the domestic Ioi level is too rubbish and is simply at the level of a rookie.
The picture with the highest number of votes is a re-creation of the previous picture. The original picture shows a man carrying two large bags of garbage walking towards the trash can, while this picture shows the man digging himself upside down like an onion. Into the trash can, and two large bags of garbage were thrown aside.
The meaning is very clear: FV Club, please stop making fun of other clubs, you are rubbish yourself!
It is normal for this kind of public opinion to appear. After all, judging from the results of the group stage, two domestic teams were eliminated, and only the No. 1 seed was left to tremble in the quarterfinals; while the teams from the two European and American divisions succeeded The group qualified and the No. 1 seed joined the quarterfinals, showing a double-team on the only remaining FV.
Most foreigners have the kind of character that if I win, you will ride on your face and ridicule them. Now many people feel that they have already won, so it is not surprising that similar remarks appear.
Zhao Xuming was silent for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "Hey, what can be done. E-sports still depends on strength. If other people's teams win, they won't have the temper to mock us."
p>“We got a bad hand at the beginning and we couldn’t win no matter how hard we played, there was nothing we could do about it. But weYou still have to work hard to play the cards in your hand and lose as little as possible. "
The assistant nodded: "Then what exactly do we do? "
Zhao Xuming thought for a moment and said: "Hotness, traffic, and voice! ”
“Now that the two domestic teams we have high hopes for have been eliminated, the FV club can’t count on it, so it is no longer possible to rely on results to generate positive hype. "
"If FV Club gets good results, it will not be good news for us. Of course, this probability is very low. . ”
The assistant nodded and immediately understood what Zhao Xuming said.
Everyone knows that FV Club is President Pei’s club. Now that two domestic teams have been eliminated in the group stage, what will happen next? If FV Club wins the quarterfinals, it will be considered by the players as "Mr. Pei's success" rather than "Long Yu Group's success".
And if FV Club loses, although Long Yu will. The group will still bear the brunt of being scolded, but at least it will no longer create heat for Mr. Pei.
Zhao Xuming’s idea is to ignore the issue of whether to be scolded for the time being and to find a way to focus the heat on the ioi national server. Come to the Helongyu Group!
Zhao Xuming explained: "Next week, the GPL Spring Split will start, which is a very sensitive time. Because next week happens to be the start of the quarterfinals. ”
“There is a high probability that the FV club will be beaten 3:0 that day. ”
“The most disadvantageous thing for us now is that the failure of domestic teams in the ioi World Finals will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of players in the ioi national server and undermine their sense of belonging and belonging to this division. Pride. ”
“There will definitely be many people who will turn to GPL and play GOG. This is unacceptable to us! ”
“So, we must take precautions and find ways to retain this group of players. ”
“We want to publicize that ioi is played by many people abroad and is currently the most popular game in the world. Although GOG is doing well, it is only played by domestic players, and it is nothing at all abroad. visibility. "
"Moreover, we can also provide a lot of evidence to support it. ”
“For example, the ioi Global Finals was held in a large venue with 20,000 people in Los Angeles, while GOG only held it in a studio in Jingzhou; another example, the domestic team in the ioi Global Finals failed miserably. eliminated, but GOG’s domestic teams took the top three, which shows that there are many foreign players playing ioi, and their competitive level is higher than GOG. ”
“If you want to connect with the world and experience the most competitive games, you still have to watch ioi. "
"In this way, many players will feel that GOG players are in a state of 'sitting in a well and watching the sky'. The GOG Global Invitational can take the top three simply because foreigners don't play, and ioi is the world's top player. The game that has received the most attention, you should feel superior when playing this game..."
"AlthoughIt is a spiritual victory method, but it should also have a certain effect. The quarrel between netizens on both sides is also a kind of enthusiasm, which is better than no one cares. ”
“If you want to compete with the opening game of the GPL Spring Split for traffic, this is the only way to do it. It’s a no-brainer. "
The assistant couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Mr. Zhao, you can come up with such a method in such an extremely passive situation. It's really amazing! ”
Zhao Xuming’s move is actually confusing right and wrong.
Countless people have popularized science online. GOG’s current overseas market share is not low. In the PC field It is basically on par with ioi, and it is even more outstanding in the field of mobile games.
But many people still have the illusion that "foreign monks can chant sutras"
In many cases. In people's minds, foreign games are good, and domestic games are copycats. Since ioi is a foreign game, it must be higher than GOG.
So although GOG is more localized, the game is not. The style is more in line with Chinese aesthetics, and the gameplay is more suitable for most ordinary players, but there are still some people who feel that they are not as good as the "foreign monk" ioi.
This concept has always existed. What Zhao Xuming has to do is to pass. Spreading news online, reinforcing this inherent stereotype, and deliberately creating a feeling that "ioi players are more noble than GOG players"
As a result, ioi's team was beaten when they went abroad. The nature of GOG's defeat of domestic teams has completely changed.
The former is because ioi is an international competition and the domestic level is indeed not good. It is a challenger's attitude, and it is normal to lose; The reason is that GOG is just a domestic club for its own entertainment, and it doesn't explain the problem if it abuses foreign teams.
In an instant, it turned the tables and reversed the public opinion situation that was unfavorable to itself.
Of course! , there is a distortion of the facts in this argument.
But similar rhetoric is very common in business competition, and it is understandable that everyone chooses what is beneficial to them. p>The assistant immediately made arrangements according to Zhao Xuming's instructions.
......
January 2, Monday.
In the self-study room, Pei Qian is reviewing.
Although he has many places to review, such as Moyu Internet Cafe, his own home, the company office, etc., but after trying them all, he found that he is still in the self-study room. Reviewing is the most efficient.
I have to say that sometimes if you want to concentrate on something, the environment is very important, and self-control alone is not enough.
This week. It was officially entering the exam week, especially for the closed-book exams. Pei Qian felt a lot of pressure, so he could only seize the time to sharpen his skills.
Halfway through, Pei Qian took his phone out of habit and started shopping. I visited the forum
It was just a subconscious behavior, but I didn’t expect that there was an unexpected gain!
In major forums, there are still endless scoldings for the disastrous defeat in the ioi World Championship. A whole day has passed and there is still no sign of stopping, which is enough to show how angry the players are about this.
But what surprised Pei Qian was that the direction of public opinion seemed to have undergone some subtle changes!
This can be clearly seen from the titles of some hot posts in the forum.
In a post titled "Domestic e-sports started late, has a weak foundation, and must continue to work hard", the author explained in great detail some of the objective reasons for the failure of the Ioi World Championship.
For example, the ioi divisions of major clubs have basically suffered the impact of GOG, and personnel have been replaced. At the same time, due to the lack of training matches, it is difficult for many players to maintain their status, etc.
Similar problems exist objectively, and you can always find many if you look for them.
But that’s not the point.
Someone in the post refuted the post's point of view: "Why does ioi represent domestic e-sports? The GOG Global Invitational Tournament has just passed a few months ago, didn't it just beat the foreign team? Why? GOG doesn’t have this problem?”
It turned out that this reply was exactly what the poster wanted.
“For a game that is only played by Chinese people and has a low reputation in the world, is it meaningful to discuss the results? Currently, everyone abroad is playing ioi, and foreign clubs are mainly based on ioi. GOG has dominance and can What does that mean?”
Some people immediately retorted, saying that the old foreign clubs also have GOG branches and have participated in the GOG Global Invitational Tournament, but they just couldn’t win. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they come if there were so many prizes? What to take?
But the poster still has his say.
“These old clubs established GOG branches just because Tenda gave them money. It is said that they gave them high sponsorship fees, and they wanted to play with you for the sake of money. To put it bluntly, it was run by GOG This invitational tournament is just to pay for foreign teams to be used as punching bags to satisfy the vanity of the Chinese people. You don’t really think that this is the true competitive level of domestic and foreign teams?”
Both sides disagreed and argued. group.
Obviously, the poster’s argument is still somewhat deceptive to many people who don’t know the truth. Coupled with the help of the trolls, the debate between the two sides is very fierce.
There are also many GOG players who have worked very hard to popularize science, telling everyone that GOG has a high market share abroad, which is not much different from ioi, but with little effect.
Because the die-hard ioi players and trolls are not here for rational discussions at all. No matter what the GOG players refute, they just keep playing "for their own entertainment" and "pay money to find Arguments such as "A foreign uncle will accompany you to study".
Repeated emphasis will aggravate stereotypes. When fighting on the Internet, the truth is not important. Most people only need to repeatedly emphasize a fixed label, even if the label is very low-level and brainless, as long as it is emphasized well The more you do, the more someone will remember.
The so-called "discussions" on the Internet are often the same as shrewishness. The competition is not about the truth, but about who has the loudest voice.
Obviously, this group of people understands the rules of fighting online and has achieved excellent results with a very small number of people.
Many GOG players were very angry because of this, but Pei Qian felt very happy.
Okay, it seems that Longyu Group is not just a freeloader, it finally worked!
During the previous ioi domestic qualifying competition, Longyu Group’s performance was really poor. Pei Qian just went to watch the game and did nothing. Longyu Group collapsed without fighting, which was really disappointing. Pei Qian was too disappointed.
But now, Longyu Group is finally starting to struggle!
Pei Qian said he was very pleased and hoped to increase efforts!
As long as you continue to hack, wait until this weekend, the FV team will be abused in the quarterfinals, and the GPL will start again and the trolls will make more remarks like "amusing themselves", I'm sure Can affect the popularity of GPL Spring Split!
