In fact, it is very understandable that these players are scolding.

Because of the time difference, I can insist on seeing that most of the current audience get up at 3 o'clock in the morning, but after working hard to cultivate immortals for several hours, I watched such a result, and it is difficult for anyone to accept it.

Today's game can be said to be a recreation of the first day of the group stage.

One team loses like diarrhea and the other loses like constipation.

The front one was okay, at least it was eliminated neatly, and the final result was 1-3 out, but fortunately it was not shaved and retained the last trace of face; And the latter team is more embarrassing, persisting until the life and death battle in the playoffs, and if you win, you can advance, and the two sides have won and lost each other in the game, and it seems that there is a great chance, but the result is still that trembling in the end.

The slightest mistake is a thousand miles.

Is it the hopelessness that makes the audience angry? Or did it give the audience a lot of hope, but in the end, the ruthless deprivation made the audience even more angry?

It's hard to say.

But there is no doubt that there must be an outlet for the anger of the audience.

The two clubs apologized to the players on Weibo as soon as they were eliminated, but it was useless, and the angry players directly captured all the hot comments on Weibo, and someone had already planned a route for them to swim back.

Pei Qian seemed to have seen the grand occasion on the Internet after the FV Club quarterfinals were 3:0.

Although these two clubs lost, they are not the No. 1 seed and do not represent the highest level of IOI in the country.

Therefore, most of them will only be scolded for a week.

When the quarterfinals of the FV Club start next weekend and the No. 1 seed is 3-0, the anger of the crowd will definitely be concentrated on the FV Club, and it will definitely be ten times more powerful than it is now.

Pei Qian was a little looking forward to it.

Just then, the FV club posted a Weibo.

Wu Yue has not forgotten Mr. Pei's request, and he is working all the time!

This time, the new Weibo content is: "Me and my teammates", and then the Weibo picture is a person going out, holding a large black garbage bag in his left hand and right hand, walking to the garbage can in the distance.

The person has the FV club logo on his head, and the two large 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 very good!

The two clubs in China have just been eliminated for less than ten minutes, and the audience who stayed up late to watch the game was unable to vent their anger.

Sure enough, the number of comments under this Weibo post has grown rapidly with the naked eye.

"Good work! Those two teams are garbage! It just speaks for me! ”

"It's good to spray, it's recommended to increase the intensity!"

"FV, you must train hard, and I won't spray you after five games in the quarterfinals."

"What about putting this work on hold? Has the version of the strong hero been practiced? Is the secret weapon ready? Are the players concerned about their psychological state? If you are alone, you will be 3:0 again, and it will be all over! ”

"Can you work hard and win a small game?"

"There is a hand in the well, the brother team is eliminated to see that you are happy, the words are here, no matter which foreign team is drawn, it is a 3:0 life! The higher you jump now, the harder you will be sprayed in the future, so wait! ”

The two groups of people, both positive and negative, danced wildly under this Weibo of the FV club, and fought together.

Fans who are angry with the other two clubs feel that the FV club sprays well and has found an outlet for emotional catharsis; The fans of the other two clubs were heartbroken, and the hatred for the FV club exploded again.

Some people hope that FV wins, some people hope that FV loses, and players with different positions are all attracted to it, and this Weibo has once again attracted a lot of attention.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this.

The higher you hold it, the worse it falls; The more traffic rubs now, the more serious the traffic backlash will be if you lose the game in the future!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian sent a message to Wu Yue: "The new life is good, increase your efforts!" ”

……

Meanwhile, Los Angeles, the scene of the IOI World Finals.

Zhao Xuming swiped his mobile phone offstage, snorting angrily.

"This FV club, isn't it crazy?"

"They don't want to think about how ugly the scene will be if they lose the game and get 3:0?"

"Don't leave yourself a way back at all?"

"The tongue is so fast, and as a result, everyone's faces can't be hung up, is there a disease!"

Zhao Xuming was simply angry.

At this point, all the group stages have been completed, the top teams in each group have qualified, and the four group winners and the four No. 1 seeds have been redrawn to determine the quarter-final schedule.

For Zhao Xuming, the current scene is simply a double whammy.

His ideal scenario is that at least one domestic team will make it out of the group stage, and if you are lucky enough to draw lots, you can touch the FV club, and the domestic team will keep a semi-final, so that the face is relatively passable.

As a result, the two teams that played in the group stage were all eliminated, and the soft persimmon of the FV club naturally had to be cheaper for others!

As for why FV is a soft persimmon, isn't it obvious?

Longyu Group is completely free-range to the FV club, they have neither played high-end rank nor with any European and American teams about training matches, and the style of play is still stuck in the last version, isn't this for nothing?

Even if you've been practicing with SUG, SUG is also a rookie, and the more you practice, the more you practice, the more you go.

At that time, the FV was also cleanly 3:0, and the scene was too ugly.

And what hit Zhao Xuming and the finger company even more was that in addition to the group of the domestic team, there was an upset!

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 thing that is not good is that it is an upset!

An old club that was forced to terminate the contract by the finger company was eliminated before! The other team, which everyone is not optimistic about, did not arrange a forced termination, and entered the quarterfinals.

As a result, Zhao Xuming counted carefully, and there was even one team in the eight teams with the GOG logo on its uniform!

There is no GOG logo on the uniform of the FV club, but the problem is that now everyone knows that this is a club with Pei's total investment, and it is the same with or without a standard.

It's very depressing.

The difference between 0 and 1 is the difference between nothing and something, and it's not very serious to say that this matter is very serious, but it just makes people hurt a lot.

So Zhao Xuming watched the draw for the quarterfinals, and the more he watched, the more angry he became.

At such a juncture, the FV club has done several good jobs in a row, mocking the two domestic teams and all the foreign teams in the quarterfinals, highlighting one with full firepower.

Zhao Xuming was even more angry.

The key is to ridicule the domestic team, so that Zhao Xuming feels that his face is very unbearable!

For the official, although the team loses, it must not be stepped on, which will affect the image of the official, the entire region and even the game in the minds of players.

No matter how bad the fight is, the official has to focus on regret and encouragement, and he must be able to get by.

Therefore, when the official Longyu Group issued a press release, the main content must be: the two teams have trained hard, and have made many attempts and changes in the game, but they have failed to achieve good results due to objective reasons such as version understanding and weak foundation.

But the FV club jumped out to mock, which was a bit against the official, and the scene was very ugly.

What's more, these two teams were brought to Los Angeles by Zhao Xuming with the money of Longyu Group for early training, but the money was spent but there was no result, and Zhao Xuming was not easy to explain to the top management of Longyu Group.

No matter how you think about it, you feel that there is a blood loss!

Zhao Xuming couldn't help frowning, and seriously thought about what he had to do to turn this unfavorable situation around.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw the results of the draw on the big screen, and his eyes lit up.

Pregnant!

The rules of the draw are that the four No. 1 seeds draw the four group winners, and whoever draws is counted, and there are no rules such as circumvention in the same division.

And the FV club is exactly the European club that abused the domestic team!

The veteran powerhouse FRY club is a team that defeated another domestic team in the life and death after a hard battle.

According to the current strength, these two quarterfinals will be one-sided and will be less enjoyable.

But for Zhao Xuming, this grouping provides him with a valuable opportunity to manipulate public opinion.

Zhao Xuming's assistant sat 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 the FV club has also gone crazy on Twitter."

"There are already a lot of people brushing words like 'cn ioi noob', and there are also people who take that picture to recreate, and the object of ridicule has risen to all domestic ioi teams......"

"What are we supposed to do?"

Zhao Xuming took the phone from his assistant.

The FV club's picture of "me and my teammates" was posted on Weibo and Twitter at the same time, and both of them received a lot of popularity.

However, the feedback from domestic and foreign players is different, and domestic players are divided into two factions, one spraying two clubs, and the other spraying FV; The attitude of foreign players is more uniform, and they are all mocking.

Under this tweet, many foreign players are swiping "cn ioi noob", which means that the domestic ioi level is too rubbish, and it is simply a rookie level.

The top picture is a re-creation of the previous one, the original picture is a man carrying two large bags of garbage to the trash can, and this picture is a man planting green onions into the trash can, and two large bags of garbage are thrown aside.

The meaning is clear: FV Club, don't laugh at other clubs, you're rubbish yourself!

It is normal for this kind of public opinion to appear, after all, judging from the results of the group stage, the two domestic teams were eliminated, and only the No. 1 seed was left to escort the quarterfinals trembling; The teams from the two European and American regions successfully qualified from the group and the No. 1 seed met in the quarterfinals, showing a sandwich trend against the only remaining FV.

Most foreigners are the kind of character who will ride on your face and mock you if I win, and now many people feel that they have won the game, and it is not surprising that similar remarks appear.

Zhao Xuming was silent for a moment, and sighed a little helplessly: "Hey, what can be done." E-sports still has to rely on strength to speak, and if other people's teams win, they don't have a temper to ridicule us. ”

"We got a bad hand at the beginning, we couldn't win any game, and we couldn't help it. But we still have to try to play our cards well and lose as little as possible. ”

The assistant nodded: "Then what exactly are we going to do?" ”

Zhao Xuming thought for a moment and said: "Popularity, traffic, right to speak!" ”

"Now the two domestic teams that we have high hopes for have been eliminated, and the FV club can't count on it, so it's impossible to rely on positive hype on the results."

"If the FV club gets a good result, it's not good news for us, of course, the probability is very low.

The assistant nodded, and immediately understood Zhao Xuming's words.

Everyone knows that FV Club is Mr. Pei's club, and now the two domestic teams have been eliminated in the group stage, so if FV Club wins the quarterfinals, it will be considered by players to be "Mr. Pei's success" rather than "Longyu Group's success".

And if the FV club loses, although Longyu Group will still bear the brunt of being scolded, at least it will not create heat for Mr. Pei.

Zhao Xuming's idea is to not consider the problem of being scolded or not to be scolded for the time being, and find a way to focus the heat on IOI National Service and Longyu Group!

Zhao Xuming explained: "Next week, the GPL's spring game will start, which is a very sensitive time. Because next week also happens to be the day of the quarterfinals. ”

"There is a high probability that the FV club will also be beaten 3:0 on the same day."

"The most disadvantageous thing for us now is that the failure of the domestic team in the IOI World Finals will greatly extinguish the enthusiasm of the IOI national players and hit their sense of belonging and pride in this region."

"I'm sure a lot of people will turn to the GPL and play GOG instead. This is unacceptable to us! ”

"So, we have to plan ahead and find a way to keep this group of players."

"We want to hype that IOI is played abroad by a lot of people 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 not well-known abroad at all. ”

"And we can still come up with a lot of evidence to back it up."

"For example, IOI's World Finals are held in a large stadium of 20,000 people in Los Angeles, while GOG is only held in a studio in Jingzhou; For another example, the domestic team in the ioi World Finals was eliminated, while the domestic team of GOG won the top three, which shows that there are many foreign players who play ioi, and the level of competition is higher than that of GOG. ”

"If you want to connect with the world and experience the most competitive games, you still have to look at IOI."

"In this way, many players will feel that GOG players are in a state of 'sitting in a well and watching the sky', and GOG World Invitational can win the top three only because foreigners don't play, and ioi is the most watched game in the world, and playing this should have a sense of superiority......"

"Although it is a spiritual victory method, it should also have a certain effect, and the tearing of netizens on both sides is also a kind of heat, which is better than no one cares."

"If you want to compete for traffic with the GPL Spring Season opener, you can only do this, which is a way out of the way."

The assistant couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Mr. Zhao, you can still come up with this method in such an extremely passive situation, it's amazing!" ”

Zhao Xuming's move is actually reversing black and white.

Countless people have popularized science on the Internet, and GOG's current overseas market share is not low, and it is basically on an equal footing with ioi in the PC field, and it is even more outstanding in the field of mobile games.

But many people still have the illusion that "foreign monks can recite scriptures".

In the minds of many people, the foreign ones are good, and the domestic ones are copycats, and since ioi is a foreign game, it must be higher and bigger than GOG.

Therefore, although GOG has a higher degree of localization, the painting style is more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, and the gameplay is more suitable for most ordinary players, there will still be some people who feel that it is not as good as ioi, an "alien monk".

This notion has always existed, and what Zhao Xuming has to do is to reinforce this inherent stereotype by spreading the news on the Internet, deliberately creating a feeling that "ioi players are more noble than GOG players".

In this way, the nature of IOI's team being hung and beaten abroad and GOG beating domestic teams has completely changed.

The former is because IOI is an international event, and the domestic level is really not good, it is a kind of challenger attitude, and it is normal to lose; The latter is because GOG is a domestic club entertaining itself, and abusing foreign teams does not explain the problem.

In an instant, he was anti-customer-oriented, reversing the situation of public opinion that was unfavorable to him!

Of course, there is a distortion of the facts in this argument.

But in business competition, similar words are very common, and everyone is picking what is beneficial to them, which is understandable.

The assistant immediately arranged according to what Zhao Xuming said.

……

……

Monday, January 2nd.

In the study room, Pei Qian was reviewing.

Although he has a lot of places to review, such as touching fish Internet cafes, his own home, company office, etc., but after trying them all, he found that the self-study room is the most efficient to review.

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 is about to officially enter the exam week, especially the courses of the closed-book exam, Pei Qian feels a lot of pressure, so he can only seize the time to sharpen his gun.

Halfway through the grind, Pei Qian habitually took the mobile phone and browsed the forum.

Originally, it was just a subconscious behavior, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain!

In the major forums, the scolding of the IOI World Championship fiasco is still endless, and there is still no sign of stopping after a whole day, which is enough to show how angry the players are about it.

But to Pei Qian's surprise, the wind direction of public opinion seems to have undergone some subtle changes!

This is clear from the titles of some of the trending posts in the forum.

In a post titled "Domestic E-sports Started Late, the Foundation is Thin, and We Must Continue to Work Hard", the landlord elaborated in great detail on some of the objective reasons for the loss of the IOI World Championship.

For example, the IOI divisions of major clubs have basically suffered from GOG's shock, there has been a turnover of personnel, and many players have struggled to maintain their form due to the lack of training matches, etc.

Similar problems exist objectively, and you can always find a lot of them if you want to find them.

But that's not the point.

In the post, someone refuted the post's views: "Why does IOI represent domestic esports?" The GOG World Invitational has only been around for a few months, so didn't it just beat a foreign team? Why doesn't GOG have this problem? ”

As a result, this reply is in the hands of the landlord.

"Is it meaningful to discuss a game that is only played by Chinese people and is not well-known in the world? At present, foreign countries are playing ioi, and foreign clubs are also dominated by ioi, so what does GOG mean because it is dominant? ”

Someone immediately refuted below, saying that those old foreign clubs also have GOG branches, and they all participated in the GOG Global Invitational, but they just couldn't beat it, otherwise why didn't they come to get so much prize money?

But the landlord still has a rhetoric.

"These established clubs set up GOG branches just because Tengda gave them money, and it was said that they gave them a high sponsorship fee, and people will play with you for the money's sake. To put it bluntly, this invitational tournament organized by GOG is just to pay foreign teams to play as sandbags to satisfy the vanity of the Chinese people, and you don't really think that this is the real competitive level of domestic and foreign teams, right? ”

The two sides insisted on their own words and quarreled.

Obviously, the landlord's argument is still deceptive to many people who don't know the truth, and the argument between the two sides is very fierce.

There are also many GOG players who have taken great pains to popularize science, telling everyone that GOG's market share in foreign countries is also very high, not much different from ioi, but with little effect.

Because ioi's die-hard players and trolls are not here to discuss rationally at all, no matter what GOG players refute, they just vigorously brush up on "entertaining themselves" and "spending money to find a foreign uncle to accompany them".

Repeated emphasis will aggravate stereotypes, tear on the Internet, the truth is not important, most people only need to repeat a fixed label, even if the label is very low-level and brainless, but as long as it is emphasized too much, there will always be people who will remember.

The so-called "discussion" on the Internet is often the same as shrews scolding the street, and the comparison is not about reason, but about who has the loudest voice.

Obviously, this group of people is well versed in the rules of online tearing, 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.

Yes, it seems that Longyu Group is not eating dry rice, and it finally works!

In the previous IOI domestic qualifying tournament, the performance of Longyu Group was too poor, Pei Qian just went to watch a game on the spot, and did nothing, Longyu Group collapsed without a fight, which really disappointed Pei Qian.

But now, Longyu Group is finally starting to struggle!

Pei Qian said that he was very pleased and hoped to increase his efforts!

As long as you continue to hack unremittingly, when the FV team is abused in the quarterfinals this weekend, the GPL will come back to the water army to brush up on more remarks such as "entertaining yourself", which will definitely affect the popularity of the GPL Spring Match!
