Sunday, December 11th.

The second day of the GPL preseason, the knockout stage of the IOI qualifiers.

Zhao Xuming still came to the competition venue of the IOI qualifying tournament early, just like yesterday, and urged the staff to debug the equipment and prepare for the start of the competition.

Today's four teams have also arrived at the game early, they will play a BO5 in the morning and afternoon, and the schedule is very tight and the pressure is also very high.

Originally, the three veteran teams, including SUG, didn't have much pressure, after all, the original three places were a radish and a pit, and there was a fish belly team that could be bullied casually, and they could qualify no matter what.

The No. 1 seed can play directly from the quarterfinals, and it is necessary to fight for it, and the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds do not need to fight at all, as long as they can qualify.

But now that an FV club has been killed out of thin air, there is no longer a fish belly team among the four knockout teams, and anyone who does not play well may be eliminated directly, and this pressure will come instantly.

In the lounges of various clubs, the players are seriously preparing their tactics, or seizing the time to squint for a while and recharge their energy, hoping to maintain a better competitive state when the game starts.

At this time, Zhao Xuming's assistant hurriedly walked over, his face quite grim.

"Mr. Zhao, the investigation of the FV club has been clarified!"

"These players were indeed sold to them by those GPL clubs, and it is definitely impossible for Wu Yue's financial resources to afford them, most of them are half sold and half given away."

"Moreover, these players are from different GPL teams, and there must be someone in the middle to coordinate, and Wu Yue, the owner of the FV club, does not have this ability."

"Only Mr. Pei of Tengda can make these clubs willingly hand over these players!"

"So it's basically certain that there must be Tengda's shadow behind the FV club, and even if this club has been bought by Tengda, maybe it's possible!"

"I even suspect that SHG clubs have a plan to poach ioi's potential players in various clubs first, and it is part of Pei's plan!"

Zhao Xuming's expression also became serious, and he nodded slightly: "Sure enough." ”

Yesterday, Ding Gan had already told Zhao Xuming about the suspicions of the FV club, but all the actions of the FV club were in line with the rules of the game, so Zhao Xuming couldn't do anything, and there was nothing he could do about the FV club.

But being powerless doesn't mean doing nothing.

For the sake of safety, Zhao Xuming still asked his assistant to seize the time to investigate the details of the FV club, wanting to find out their true purpose.

The efficiency of the assistant is also very high, and it has been roughly checked today.

Zhao Xuming silently remembered it in his heart, and asked again: "Is there anything else worth noting?" ”

The assistant hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Mr. Zhao!" According to the information of our staff, a mysterious person wearing a mask came to the scene of yesterday's game and also went to the lounge of the FV club! Judging from Manager Lu's name for him, most of them are Tengda's Mr. Pei himself! ”

There are also staff members of the event side in the lounges backstage of each club, and although Pei Qian is wearing a mask, Manager Lu's name towards him has revealed his identity.

Zhao Xuming couldn't help frowning, with a surprised expression: "Is it Mr. Pei himself?" Are you sure? ”

The assistant nodded: "Judging from the information we have so far, Mr. Pei looks similar to his stuntman, very young, and his appearance is consistent; Manager Lu called the mysterious person wearing the mask 'Mr. Pei', very respectful, and after coming out of the lounge, Wu Yue accompanied him very respectfully, and also called him 'Mr. Pei'. ”

"In addition, I also went to ask Mr. Ding Gan Ding of the SUG Club, and he met Mr. Pei himself and admitted that Mr. Pei did go to the studio."

"According to this information, most of the mysterious people wearing masks are Mr. Pei himself."

Zhao Xuming frowned slightly: "Ding Gan knows about this?" ”

The assistant nodded: "I know, but he didn't take the initiative to tell us, and he only admitted it when I asked." ”

Zhao Xuming snorted: "This Ding Gan, is there still a little emotional about my previous handling method?" ”

"Don't worry about him, just make sure that it is indeed Mr. Pei."

Zhao Xuming couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Mr. Pei actually came in person?

What exactly is his purpose?

For Mr. Pei, Zhao Xuming has an instinctive fear.

Because Mr. Pei's previous record was too prominent, GOG has been making great progress, killing all sides at home and abroad, and it is difficult to meet opponents, and the high-level leaders of Dayak Group have also been cleaned up and have no power to fight back.

In the process of Zhao Xuming's simple fight with Mr. Pei, he was also abused to the point that he had no temper at all, and unknowingly suffered from "Pei phobia".

Now that I heard that Mr. Pei was at the scene in person, in this studio, Zhao Xuming was even more instinctively flustered.

Still, he quickly calmed down.

"There's no need to panic, he's just an ordinary person, and he's not a killer demon king, even if he comes, it's nothing more than on-site supervision, what can he do in our territory?"

The assistant nodded: "What Mr. Zhao said is true." ”

"Maybe it's because the outside world has been rumored that Mr. Pei has always been a dragon who sees the beginning and doesn't see the end, and once he makes a move, he is sure of winning, and he never fights unprepared and uncertain battles. So let's have some of the grass and trees in the army. ”

"Then, Mr. Zhao, what should we do now?"

Zhao Xuming frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Pei came to the magic capital in person, and I think most of them have two purposes. The first is to spy on the enemy, go to the scene to see our arrangement, so that we know ourselves and the enemy, after all, a lot of information is not accurate by others, and we must see it ourselves to determine the details; The second is to supervise the game on the spot, cheer for the FV club players, and hope that they can successfully get the qualifying places. ”

"Therefore, he is very low-key, and he came alone and deliberately wore a mask, just because he didn't want to be discovered by others."

He thought he had never shown his face on the Internet, and no one would notice it without knowing it, but he didn't expect this information to be caught by us! If you can make good use of it, you might be able to make a beautiful comeback......"

The assistant could feel that Zhao Xuming seemed to have thought of an excellent idea, and he didn't dare to interrupt his train of thought, and waited quietly on the side.

Zhao Xuming suddenly slapped the table: "There is!" ”

"Mr. Pei is low-key, and he doesn't want to show his head and attract attention, so we just do the opposite and publicize the fact that Mr. Pei came to see the IOI qualifiers!"

"Find the seat where Mr. Pei is, and when the time comes, the director will directly give him a close-up close-up, and then ventilate with the two commentators in advance, so that they can welcome Mr. Pei's arrival!"

"Then buy a good water army in advance, go to the Internet to build momentum, the content is also very simple, just say that Mr. Pei does not go to watch the GPL league but to watch the ioi qualifiers, which shows that the ioi qualifiers are better than the GPL league, and it has triggered Tengda's sense of crisis, which shows that IOI has begun to exert its strength, and GOG's dominance in China is about to be threatened!"

"In short, transfer all the heat on Mr. Pei's body to the qualifying tournament of IOI!"

The assistant couldn't help but light up: "What a plan, Mr. Zhao!" ”

"Mr. Pei came all the way to the magic capital, like an assassin to infiltrate the enemy, but we welcomed him with great fanfare, so that it seems that we are above board, and Mr. Pei is sneaky! In terms of mind and temperament, it invisibly occupies the upper hand! ”

"Moreover, Mr. Pei always came to watch the ioi qualifiers instead of the GPL league, as long as he made a big fuss about this, he could grab a large part of the heat of the GPL league, which was perfect!"

"I'll arrange it!"

The assistant just wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Zhao Xuming again.

"Wait!"

"That's not enough."

"That way, you're prepared for both. FV qualified as the first group in Group B, playing second in Group A first, and the results will be seen in the morning. ”

"If the FV club crushes and wins, then don't talk about the FV club, don't bring heat to the FV club."

"If the FV club wins hard, then most of the next ones will not be able to beat the top of Group A and fight for the No. 1 seed."

"If this happens, we will poke out the relationship between the FV club and the Tengda Group before the start of the game in the afternoon!"

"We can say this: Tengda worked hard and spent a lot of money to build the FV club, but he was still beaten by our ioi club, and Mr. Pei's face was blue on the spot."

"Isn't this another big wave of heat and traffic?"

The assistant nodded violently: "Mr. Zhao is smart!" ”

In terms of the staffing of the FV club, if he gets the No. 1 seed, then Zhao Xuming can only play dead and will not take the initiative to spread the relationship between Tengda and the FV club; But if the FV club loses, then Zhao Xuming can fall into the well, step on a few feet, and rub the heat well.

Of course, the exact way to do it will depend on the situation of the game in the morning.

Zhao Xuming was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei, you are not exhaustive and omnipotent, and you will also show flaws!"

"I appreciate the courage to go to the meeting alone, but aren't you giving away the heat? So gracious, but disrespectful, I laughed at it! ”

……

The scene of the competition.

Pei Qian, like yesterday, wore a mask and sat in the front row to watch the game.

Yesterday, Wu Yue and Manager Lu wanted to set up a banquet to entertain, but Pei Qian decisively refused.

The players on the side of the FV club also have to seize the time to review after the game, sum up the experience and then take a good rest, after all, there are two BO5 games tomorrow, and the consumption of physical energy will be very huge.

So Wu Yue didn't insist, just sent Mr. Pei back to the hotel.

Maybe it's because of a change of environment, or maybe it's because Saturday's game left Pei Qian with some unpleasant memories, he didn't sleep very well last night, and he couldn't lift his spirits a little today, and his whole body was wilting.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a game anyway.

The tournament schedule is very full, with two BO5s in the morning and two BO5s in the afternoon, and if each team loses two games, they will be eliminated directly, and if they win two games, they will go to the World Championship as the No. 1 seed.

The FV club match is the first game and the SUG match is the second match, playing Group A for second and first in the group, respectively.

The players of the FV club are full of energy and are seriously debugging the equipment.

The two commentators are warming up, analysing the playing style and form of the two teams yesterday, and making predictions for the upcoming games.

However, at this moment, a crane camera suddenly came to the position above Pei Qian's head without warning, and then a close-up of Pei Qian appeared on the big screen!

At this time, he was sitting in the front seat with Erlang's legs crossed very casually, his right hand on his cheek, his eyes were leisurely, and the black mask on his face was quite eye-catching.

Suddenly seeing himself on the big screen, Pei Qian couldn't help but be startled, the whole person froze, and a question mark floated on his head.

？

There was a little panic for a moment, but Pei Qian quickly calmed down and didn't make any moves.

Fortunately, I was prepared and wore a mask!

This is mostly a random snapshot of the live audience by the director before the start of the game, no big deal, and the whole picture lasts for a second or two at most.

It's just that...... This guide shows so many cute girls who don't shoot, why do you shoot a big man wearing a mask?

Pei Qian was a little puzzled, but he still remained calm.

But soon, he realized he was wrong.

Because this close-up seems to last a bit long, the crane camera in the air has no intention of moving away to shoot other people!

The audience at the scene obviously noticed this and talked about it.

Who is this?

Isn't it a particularly beautiful young lady, and she wears a mask and doesn't show her face, so as for the director to give a 5-second close-up?

Immediately after, the two commentators spoke.

"Eh, we saw that the director gave the camera to the audience, many people may not know it, here we solemnly introduce: Mr. Pei of Tengda Group also came to our game site!"

"Mr. Pei rushed all the way from Jingzhou to the magic capital in his busy schedule, which shows his love for our competition, let us applaud together and extend a warm welcome to Mr. Pei's arrival!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, thunderous applause and cheers were already ringing in the venue.

There is obviously a support prepared by the staff, the kind of professional applause, the host and the support a little cooperation, it will drive the audience to applaud together, and instantly create an excellent program effect.

Pei Qian: "I'm so ......"

At this time, Pei Qian was very happy, fortunately he wore a mask, otherwise his expression at this time would have been very embarrassing, and it would be broadcast live to all the viewers in the live and live broadcast rooms.

The event organizers are doing something!

Pei Qian instantly realized that the organizer did it on purpose, but at this time, it was not appropriate for him to do anything, so he could only continue to maintain a calm and indifferent expression until the camera above his head was removed.

The director filmed very stinky and shameless for ten seconds, and saw that Mr. Pei had been calm and immovable, and finally moved the camera away with some regret.

However, these ten seconds of close-up shots obviously had a good effect, and there was a lot of discussion on the scene, and it was also a blockbuster barrage floating on the live broadcast platform of the IOI qualifiers.

"Mr. Pei?!"

"What's the matter, Mr. Pei, the boss of Tengda Group, went to the scene of the IOI qualifiers? Shouldn't he go to the GPL, which one is this singing? ”

"This wave, this wave is the boss personally spying on the enemy?"

"And then you were caught red-handed?"

"Hahaha, does this mean that the ioi game is better than the GPL? Even Mr. Pei himself didn't go to see the GPL? ”

"Are you sure this is Mr. Pei? How do you recognize it when you wear a mask? ”

"From the hairstyle, the clothes, the figure and some details, it's really possible. The organizer of the event should not make such a low-level oolong incident, and it must have been a close-up after confirming Mr. Pei's identity. ”

"The GPL clubs are embarrassed, we are here to fight to the death, we are doing everything we can, and as a result, the organizers of the league have gone to see others?"

"SHG: The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?"

In the live broadcast room, as well as on the forum, there are similar discussions. Many of these remarks were made by the water army arranged by Longyu Group, which seemed to be ridiculing on the surface, but in fact it also played a rhythmic purpose.

Once the stalk of "Mr. Pei doesn't look at the GPL and comes to watch the IOI Qualifiers" spreads, even if it is actually a ridicule, it will bring a subtle inducement to the people who eat melons.

This little episode passed quickly, but public opinion on the Internet gradually began to ferment.

The match between the two teams began, and the audience quickly immersed themselves in the intense game.

These two teams are already at the top level in China, and they play prominently, back and forth, which is very exciting.

As Pei Qian requested, the players of the FV club still strictly follow GOG's set of gameplay, from the selection of personnel to the operation ideas in the game, they are a little out of line with the conventional playing style.

In yesterday's group stage, FV Club and SUG played very anxiously, and there was a certain element of luck in the final victory.

And today's opponent obviously studied the style of play of the FV club last night, and made a certain target in terms of selection and tactics, so the FV club played even more difficult.

But even so, FV Club has no idea of playing the regular lineup at all, and continues to play the same way of playing.

The two sides fought five rounds, and two BO5 games were originally arranged in the morning, but the FV game was played directly to more than 11 o'clock.

……

Backstage in the studio, the assistant walked quickly to Zhao Xuming.

"Mr. Zhao! Everything you have explained has been arranged. ”

"We have prepared several manuscripts, including the relationship between Tengda Group and FV Club, Mr. Pei's visit to the scene, etc., and we will spread these news at noon, buy hot searches, stir up heat, and will definitely be able to create a very considerable popularity on the whole network!"

Zhao Xuming nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's good!" ”

He watched the whole game of the FV club in the morning, and played an extremely close game with the second team in Group A, playing five games and winning very easily.

Judging from yesterday's group stage, the first group in Group A and the second in the group basically did not have much pressure, and they were taken away step by step.

This shows that even if the FV club plays five games and works hard to get the place in the World Championship, it will definitely not be able to beat the first place in Group A and compete for the No. 1 seed.

Not only that, but there is a good chance that they will be beaten by the team that wins Group A!

In this case, taking the opportunity to throw out the relationship between FV Club and Tengda Group, and then stepping on it, can bring high heat to ioi.

Mr. Pei spent a lot of money to build a team to participate in the IOI qualifying tournament, and Mr. Pei supervised the battle on the spot, but was he beaten violently?

Once this kind of news spreads, Zhao Xuming's goal will be achieved.

Of course, the premise is that the FV club loses. Headwind output is not desirable, downwind output is the only way to maximize the impact.

In fact, Zhao Xuming can also choose to spread these news after the game, but then it will be too late and he will not rush.

There are four BO5 games to play today, the schedule is too dense, the first BO5 is almost 12 o'clock, and the next game can only be postponed.

According to the rough estimate of time, the four BO5s are finished, and it may be after ten o'clock in the evening.

This kind of discussion is time-sensitive, and it takes some time to ferment. It's late at night after the game, and when the time comes, many people may not be able to see these news, and it will not have the best communication effect and the purpose of attracting a lot of heat and traffic.

On the contrary, the news was disseminated at noon, so that everyone could pay attention to the FV club's game in the evening, and then the FV club was defeated, and Longyu Group could take the opportunity to step on Tengda's foot by public opinion, which was a perfect time.

Zhao Xuming couldn't help but feel proud.

It is said that Mr. Pei is strategizing, but when it comes to this kind of uncontrollable thing, isn't Mr. Pei helpless?

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current strength of the FV club is a cut behind, and it will not be able to compete for the top seed. And Zhao Xuming is right at this point, and wants to create heat for ioi by stepping on the FV club and Tengda.

In this case, can Mr. Pei still turn the tables?

Zhao Xuming felt that he had a chance to win.
