On the morning of Saturday, January 14, Los Angeles time, in the early morning of January 15, local time in Beijing.

Today is the match day of the top four of the ioi World Finals, and the FV team is ready to go.

In the hotel, Ye Zhizhou, Bao Xu and others waved goodbye to the team members and watched them board the minibus.

The backstage location of the competition venue is limited, and it can't occupy so many people, and the data analysis work of Ye Zhizhou, Bao Xu and others has come to an end, and they can take a break.

Lao Zhou, as the coach, took a part of the tactical team to the scene, and Ye Zhizhou and the others could move freely.

Of course, if there are new tactics after the semi-finals, it is still necessary to continue to analyze and provide tactical support for the FV team.

A week has passed since the quarterfinals, and during this week, many European and American teams have sent invitations to FV teams for training matches, and the FV team's reply is also the same: Sorry, our training match is full.

This is not a lie, after all, the FV team does have a full training match with SUG and its own second team, and the training time is more than ten hours a day.

It's just that the FV team is reluctant to change their training plan and play against these European and American teams.

"Going for a drink?" Ye Zhizhou proposed.

The others readily agreed and went to a small bar nearby. This bar broadcasts live broadcasts of the IOI World Finals, and it is a pleasure to watch the game while having a drink.

It's just that they didn't notice that in the corner of the lobby rest area on the first floor of the hotel, there was a Westerner with slightly bald hair, silently drinking coffee while paying attention to the situation of the FV team.

Eric looked at the huge logistics team of the FV team and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Some time ago, Dayak Group was very disappointed by Eric's failure to promote the IOI national server, so he replaced Chrétien with Chrétien to take charge of the operation of the IOI national server.

The domestic market is too large for any multinational company to want to give up.

After Chrétien took office, he made a series of drastic changes, including modifying the gameplay of IOI, cooperating with the Longyu Group, etc., and it seems that although it is difficult to say whether it is a success or a failure, at least the momentum is up.

Therefore, in the eyes of the senior management of the Dayak Group, the trust in Chrétien is unprecedentedly solid.

This is difficult for Eric.

He is also one of the senior leaders of Dayak Group, and it is impossible to be directly swept to the end, and his job and position in the company can be kept.

But everyone who can sit in this seat is ambitious, and it must be difficult for Eric to accept seeing Chrétien get better and better in his former position.

Eric didn't give up, but chose to hibernate, silently watching the battle between GOG and IOI while waiting for an opportunity.

Although the current situation is very passive for Eric, and in the eyes of the outside world, he has no possibility of turning over, but Eric himself does not see it that way.

Because before returning to Los Angeles, he had seriously and in-depth investigated Tengda's various methods to promote GOG, and he also had a conversation with Mr. Pei.

Eric knew very well that despite Chrétien's success right now, he couldn't make it.

Because, as for how terrible Mr. Pei is, Chrétien doesn't know anything at all.

Eric knows very well that the methods that Chrétien is using now, including changing games, holding competitions, etc., are all rotten by Mr. Pei a long time ago. You use Mr. Pei's routine to deal with Mr. Pei, how can you succeed?

Obviously, Mr. Pei's counterattack has started unconsciously, and the FV team is the way that Mr. Pei found to break the game.

From the qualifying round of the domestic ioi, to the series of "performances" of the FV team at the World Championship, there seems to be a vague shadow of Mr. Pei. But Eric didn't intend to tell Chrétien or the Dayak hierarchy about his judgment.

For Eric, his own interests far outweigh those of the Finger Company, and he will not be able to get the most leverage for himself by handing over valuable information now, and it will not necessarily be adopted.

Eric took a sip of his coffee and got up to leave.

After the end of this IOI World Finals, the second round of the confrontation between Dayak Group and Tengda Group should be decided.

……

At the same time, Gyeongju.

Pei Qian had already gotten up and was eating breakfast while waiting for the ioi World Finals to begin.

After entering the semi-finals and finals, the game time is much friendlier for domestic players, after all, there is only one BO5 a day, and the schedule will be more free.

"This opponent in the semifinals looks quite fierce, it should be able to give some effect, right?"

"You guys won a small round against Team FV, right?"

Pei Qian inexplicably had some small expectations.

With a little time to go until the start of the match, the screen was still looping FV and the opponent's exciting performance in the quarterfinals.

Pei Qian was eating breakfast while watching the barrage in the live broadcast room.

"FV rush me! Come on! ”

"I don't ask you to improve, just stay in place with the quarterfinals, and then have a 3:0!"

"Come on, come on, come on!"

But even at the critical moment before the opening of the foreign war, there are still sunspots who are constantly making trouble, continuing to brush words such as "GOG entertains itself".

Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, these sailors are quite dedicated, and Longyu Group should have stuffed a lot of money.

Of course, there may also be people who are either water armies or simple sunspots.

But the water army is doing things with money, and why the sunspot can't get the money why he still works so hard, which is very puzzling.

Pei Qian had just taken a sip of a drink, and suddenly saw a barrage, almost squirting out all the drinks in his mouth.

"Trolls, don't go to the bar, go with the bar-lifter!"

"AEEIS automatic bar lifting machine meets all your demands for bar lifting!"

"It's a fun bar lifter, so I suggest trolls have one."

"So many people are still being trollfished? Too young, buy a bar lifter to exercise your mentality, after lifting with the bar lifter, you will feel that the trolls' ranks are too low, and it is not worth a bar at all! ”

Looking at the wind direction of the barrage, it turned inexplicably, and Pei Qianren looked stupid.

"What's the situation? Why did the topic turn to the bar lifter? ”

"Didn't I sell much when I watched it on Friday?"

Pei Qian has been busy checking the work of various departments in the company for the past two days, and he no longer cares about the matter of the bar lifting machine, but if he is not careful, something happened!

He hurriedly took the mobile phone, clicked on the mall to check, and found that more than 300 units had been sold on the mobile phone mall alone!

Moreover, this is only the number of OTTO mobile phone owners buying, the automatic intelligent bar lifting machine is also on some other shopping platforms, and the official website of OTTO Technology is also selling, if you add it together, the sales volume is very considerable!

"Could it be that Chang You didn't listen to me, or did he publicize it?"

Pei Qian hurriedly checked on the Internet, but did not find any publicity about the automatic bar lifting machine at all.

"It's evil.,It seems to be a little inexplicable.,And it seems to be on fire from the game forum?"

"! Old Joe! ”

Pei Qian flipped through it for a long time, and finally turned to Qiao Liang's Weibo, gritting his teeth in anger.

But he took a closer look at the number of comments and retweets on this Weibo, and it was not high?

Obviously, Qiao Liang played a role in the explosion of the fully automatic bar-lifting machine, but it was not the main reason.

This thing seems to be naturally popular, and there is no particularly obvious broadcast node, but everyone seems to be eating this set.

Pei Qian was also completely confused, and he really couldn't understand why everyone liked this thing.

In Pei Qian's confusion, the game officially began.

The state of the two commentators is also full, trying hard to drive the atmosphere in the field, and they do not hesitate to praise the FV team, and blow wildly.

Although the FV team is not officially treated by ioi, this is the only remaining team in China after all. That's certainly not appropriate.

Pei Qian could only comfort himself: "It's okay, you guys should milk hard, and strive to overturn the FV team with milk......"

The game quickly entered the BP interface.

On the side of the FV team, coach Lao Zhou held a small notebook, his expression was relaxed and indifferent, and the players were also talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to be under pressure.

The mentality before the game is very important, and it is important to be serious and serious, but if it is too tight, it is likely to cause the players to be constrained and play abnormally.

What's more, the FV team has made full tactical preparations, and the players are also in hot form, of course, full of confidence.

On the other hand, the opponent's state is also full of confidence.

Especially the coach of the other party, standing behind the players with a small book, looking strategizing and high-spirited.

This coach looks to be in his early thirties, with an unusually well-trimmed beard and leather shoes, and he looks very reliable at first glance.

Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief, they all reached the semifinals, and there were no weak teams.

The quarterfinals were played a week ago, and the opponent must have repeatedly studied the game footage and found a way to target the FV team.

The Ban people's link is normal, and the opponent bans the heroes who performed well in the previous quarterfinals FV team, and it is the turn of the FV team to choose first.

The FV team then backhandedly selected a hero with zero appearances in this Worlds.

The camera gave the picture of the opposing coach, the coach who was still full of confidence before, his expression changed from confident, to doubt, and then to confusion and confusion.

He looked at the game screen in disbelief, almost thinking that he had read it wrong.

Then, he began to communicate frantically with his teammates.

Even though it was spoken in English, and the content of these exchanges was not released, the audience could still roughly figure out what he was saying.

"Can you fight this hero?"

"Which way?"

"This should be specific to the popular system, which set of ...... is it for"

This coach was confused, he didn't understand why FV wanted to grab this hero, and he had never fought with this hero in a training match before!

The time for selecting people passed by second, and the opposing team obviously didn't figure out a reason, and finally chose two heroes they thought were strong in their versions, and played the tactics they were best at and most familiar with.

However, this seems to be in the hands of the FV team, Lao Zhou almost did not hesitate, and let the team lock up two heroes in seconds, specifically targeting each other's best tactics!

This second lock directly produces a powerful psychological deterrent effect.

One side thinks twice and locks the hero until time runs out, while the other side does not hesitate to lock it up and make a judgment.

Pei Qian sighed a little melancholy, deeply worried about the fate of the opposing team.
