The opening ceremony of the GPL Spring Split was relatively simple. First, the Spring Split promotional video, which received an extremely enthusiastic response, was played on the big screen. Then the captains of each team appeared on the stage, and the host introduced these to the audience one by one. The origins of the club and its star players.
The captains of the sixteen teams correspond to the sixteen battle flags in the venue, and also correspond to the sixteen warriors dressed as heroes in the promotional video CG.
The audience at the scene were also old spectators, and they were very supportive, with bursts of applause and cheers.
Then, the game officially started.
Strictly speaking, the scene of the GPL Spring Split is still much worse than that of the ioi World Finals. After all, they are not the same level of competition in terms of positioning. The ioi World Championship can accommodate 20,000 people. It is held in a large venue, and the scene is definitely much more atmospheric than the GPL Spring Split.
But the advantage of the GPL Spring Split is that the details are better.
From the very beginning of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament to the later pre-season, the entire operation team of GPL has accumulated a wealth of experience.
On the one hand, the rules are clear, various emergency plans are very detailed, and the probability of problems is very low. Even if problems occur, they can be solved quickly and will not cause too serious broadcast accidents;
On the other hand, the audience's preferences are almost ascertained, the necessary links are made as good as possible, and all unnecessary links are cut off.
Just like the opening ceremonies of many e-sports competitions, they like to have some cosplay or song and dance performances. However, most of the audience is relatively indifferent to this, so the GPL has completely cut off such redundant links, giving The audience brings the purest viewing experience.
So in the audience's perception, although the venue of GPL is relatively small, it is very formal in all aspects. From the details, you can see the degree of care in the preparation of the event, so it does not appear to be a bargain.
Soon, the game officially started.
Although SHG is a new team, it performed very well. It dared to fight and fought hard. After playing three games with the H4 club, it was a pity that it lost.
But even so, SHG's performance on the field still won applause from the audience, and some of its eye-catching decisions and operations sparked heated discussions on the forum.
Pei Qian was also satisfied with what he saw at the scene. He took out his mobile phone and opened the live broadcast room to see the reactions of netizens.
However, there were some discordant sounds on the barrage.
"Is this the H4 World Championship? Are you having fun playing with a new team that has just been formed?"
"This shows the gold content of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament. Everyone knows.”
“With H4’s strength, it can still defeat foreign teams. I don’t need to say more about the quality of those foreign teams that have been hired with money.”
< p> "I have long said that the competitive level of GOG is not good. The so-called 'dominance' of domestic teams is only because no one abroad plays it.already! ""What's so great about paying a foreign uncle to accompany you to study? ”
“Entertain yourself, entertain yourself, entertain yourself, entertain yourself…”
There is a group of people of unknown origin who are frantically posting the words “Entertain yourself, entertain yourself” in the live broadcast room ", belittling the value of the GPL and even the GOG Global Invitational Tournament.
This is the same routine as the previous post "Domestic e-sports started late, has a weak foundation, and must continue to work hard", constantly using the same mistake The logic of this brainwashing crowd: GOG abused foreign teams because no one played in foreign countries, so the gold content was not high; ioi lost to foreign teams because the Chinese people were not good enough, so the gold content was very high.
Finally, it was concluded that ioi is far greater than GOG.
This statement has been discussed before, and now that the GPL has started, it is mentioned again. It is obviously that these people have ulterior motives to dampen the popularity of the GPL Spring Split. , to build momentum for the knockout round of the ioi Global Finals.
Many GOG players were very angry and argued with these players in the live broadcast room and forum, but to no avail.
These troublemakers are all professional trolls. If you present facts and reasons to them, they will act as if they cannot see you. They will just use their own fallacies to harass you, and they will also treat you with weird and personal attacks. Once you take advantage of it, confront him. Instead, they fell into his trap.
The two groups of people complained, which made the GPL live broadcast room a mess. The game was originally very exciting, but no one discussed the content of the game and everyone was arguing. It greatly affected the experience of watching the game.
Pei Qian was not angry at all, but was very happy.
It was really disappointing that Longyu Group and Mr. Zhao finally worked. I’m so touched!
You can watch the FV Club’s game at 5 o’clock tomorrow morning. As long as the FV Club loses, the Internet will definitely be very lively!
Although Pei Qian is not here! I think this public opinion turmoil will affect the GPL league's profit, but it is better than nothing!
Pei Qian decided to go to bed early tonight and get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning to watch the FV club's game.
p>
......
......
At 1 pm on the 7th, Los Angeles time, and 5 am on the 8th, Jingzhou time, the quarterfinals of the ioi Global Finals officially begin!
/p>
CEM is also a strong old European and American team similar to FRY. It showed strong dominance in the group stage, qualifying with a score of 4-0, and even surpassed the domestic team in the same group. The team was so tortured that they couldn't hold their heads up.
The staff of FV Club were all waiting in the background, and Manager Wu Yue and Manager Lu looked a little nervous.
Although they completely trusted the team members. Our strength, but things like e-sportsThe victory or defeat is not so absolute, the opponent is not a weak team, and the FV club is not 100% sure of winning.
And this is an offline game. European and American teams are playing at home. It is hard to say whether the players will be unbalanced and perform abnormally because of the cheers of the other party.
"Come on stage!"
I don't know who shouted, and everyone looked at the screen backstage.
At the same time, thunderous applause and cheers came from the venue!
CEM was the first to take the stage. Each of the five team members had confident smiles on their faces, waving frequently to the audience and enjoying the applause and cheers of the crowd.
FV Club was next, and the audience was also very considerate. Although the cheers were a little lower than those of the CEM team, they were still very enthusiastic.
After all, FV Club continues to be active on Twitter and frequently interacts with major clubs, so it has also gained a good reputation among foreign player groups.
It’s just that the comments made by netizens on foreign live streaming platforms were not so kind, with overwhelming numbers of “3:0” and “cnioinoob”.
Obviously, most foreign audiences just think that the FV club is very capable, but do not recognize their competitive strength.
In the minds of most viewers, this will be a game without any suspense. It is estimated that it will be difficult for FV Club to score a small point.
The members of the FV Club could not see the barrage, and of course they would not be affected. They just enjoyed the cheers and applause of the scene, waiting to conquer the 20,000 people present with their performance in the game. audience.
There are not so many bells and whistles in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, and the game quickly enters the BP stage.
......
At the same time, Pei Qian had just gotten up.
Turn on the TV, take out the potato chips and Coke and sit on the sofa, just in time to see the BP session between the two teams.
The barrage is still very chaotic, and the players are fighting together.
There are those who play GOG for their own entertainment, some who keep swiping "Swim back", some who cheer for the FV team, and some who keep swiping meaningless numbers to block the screen. It is simply useless. No viewing experience.
Obviously, in the opening game of GOG yesterday, the trolls invited by Longyu Group pissed off the GOG players, and today some GOG players also came to the ioi game to fight back.
The result is that the barrage of both sides of the game is impossible to watch.
Pei Qian was also speechless, but just as he was about to close the barrage, he saw a string of question marks floating across the screen.
"Is it because the FV club doesn't play training games, so it doesn't know how abnormal this hero is? That's not right. Even if they don't play training games, they should at least watch it." Small at first glanceGroup competition, right? "
"I understand, maybe FV felt that he was defeated 3:0 anyway, so he could find an excuse to throw chaos and misfortune, making it appear that he lost not because of his talent, but because of BP issues. This wave, this wave of FV is on the fifth floor! ”
“You can turn off the live broadcast, go have breakfast, and come back in 30 minutes to watch the second game!” ”
“You really have your FV! "
"I have already seen the next script. Chaos and Doom will appear in twenty minutes, and three waves of team battles will end the game. ”
“Who is the coach of FV Club? This thing can be released, maybe your brain is flooded, right? Or is it that the food and accommodation conditions in Los Angeles are so good that my brain is rusty? "
"The coach seems to be...Old Zhou? Damn it, isn’t this an auxiliary player from the original DGE club? ”
“Huh? Someone who plays GOG came over to be the head coach? It's ridiculous, no wonder it brings chaos and misfortune! This is not playing GOG, brother! ”
In the previous barrage, several groups of people were quarreling and attacking each other with repeated words, just like a melee of heroes. However, after the BAN people ended, CEM directly grabbed the hero "Chaos Doom" After that, the content of the barrage was immediately unified.
They were all badmouthing the FV club!
Many people noticed that the coach who took the stage was Zhou Pengyuan. /p>
As a former GOG star player, Zhou Pengyuan has not appeared in the public eye since he came to Los Angeles.
This is his first time on the BP stage, but he was released immediately. This version is recognized as the Chaos Doom of Purple Fangbi Ban, which is a blockbuster.
Pei Qian was a little curious and searched for the hero "Chaos Doom" on Qiandu.
This is it. A new hero from Ioi that was released recently. It looks like a dark cloud. It is a long-range hero but its range is only slightly higher than that of melee. Its strength lies in its good group control ability in the mid-to-late stage, and it is both meaty and output. Once you enter, In the team battle stage, it is almost guaranteed to win.
A total of four games were released in the group stage, and all the teams released were smashed without exception.
Everyone was defeated. They all thought that this hero should buy a house in the BAN position and would never appear in the knockout rounds, but unexpectedly, he was released when the FV Club came up.
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel refreshed, the FV Club could do it. Ah, strive for success!
This kind of style reminds Pei Qian of the legendary three-player iron man and five-player Galio, who stands out and doesn't want to win.
Pei Qian's side. Chewing potato chips while watching the next game.
