Friday, December 30, 8 a.m.

Pei Qian turned off the alarm clock and struggled to get up.

In the past two days, I have finally received some results after making up my mind to review, at least the notes are dozens of pages, which is a good start.

It's the same today, get up in the morning, take advantage of the morning when your mind is clearer and review more, so as to save yourself from thinking about salted fish in the afternoon and evening.

Brush your teeth while looking at your phone.

"Huh? Yesterday morning, the IOI World Finals have started? Oh yes, it seems like it's today. ”

"It looks like the game is still going on."

The game started yesterday at 11 a.m. Los Angeles time, which is 3 a.m. Kyonju time, and has been played six times a day, and now it has reached its fifth.

If the domestic audience wants to watch the game, they have to cultivate immortals perfectly, from the early morning to the morning.

Pei Qian is not so interested in the game of ioi, after all, he has not played it, he can't understand it, the time is not suitable, and the FV club does not need to play the group stage.

So he didn't pay much attention to this matter, but only clicked on the live broadcast platform to take a look after seeing the relevant news push today.

Obviously, under the vigorous promotion of Longyu Group, the popularity of the IOI Global Finals in China is still relatively high, and all major news clients are pushing news, and various live broadcast platforms have also given a lot of recommended resources, which seems to be very popular.

Coupled with the fact that the GPL's preseason has just ended a few days before and the spring season has not yet begun, many players who have nothing to do will choose to watch the IOI's World Finals during this gap period.

Pei Qian clicked into the live broadcast room and found that he was playing two foreign teams that he didn't know at all, and they were currently in a state of equilibrium, and they were playing more anxiously.

The scene looked tense, but the barrage was not discussing the game itself at all, but the fans on both sides of ioi and GOG were frantically tearing up.

"Trash! The opening game was pushed flat, don't play the game later, swim back! ”

"If you play a outrageous fight, why don't you take the hero anymore, and you don't use the original tactics, and you learn from foreign teams? I don't like to learn! ”

"It's like a toddler in Handan, and I can't learn my own things! It's too ugly! ”

"Such a good venue, such a handsome opening ceremony, this competition has a lot of cards, and as a result, the domestic team was beaten violently, isn't this disgusting?"

"Let's be lenient, it's just the first game. And you can't do it if you don't learn.,The versions have changed.,If you play according to the previous version, you'll only lose even more.。 ”

"Damn, I mainly stayed up all night, and I ended up watching this? If it weren't for the GPL Spring Split, I wouldn't have come to see this broken game and be angry! ”

"Then go back to your GPL! A garbage game that only Chinese people play. ”

"Oh, let me tell you something, the foreign market share ioi and GOG have long been equal, GOG is not only played by Chinese people. It's just that GOG's domestic team beats foreign teams. ”

"I don't know if you have seen the GOG logo on the uniforms of foreign clubs? Could it be that you're blind and can't see it? ”

"It's outrageous to be in the IOI finals with GOG's standard, and the finger company is probably going to blow up."

"That's no way, the club has already accepted the sponsorship, and you can't pay liquidated damages according to people's heads, right? It can only be said that the finger company, I didn't expect this layer before, and there was no ban on the club from receiving GOG sponsorship. ”

"Don't argue, GOG is doing well, but that's because of Tengda's nest! If it weren't for the fact that IOI's e-sports environment was squeezed so hard, how could it be so weak? ”

"The classic itself is not angry and strange to the environment, didn't Longyu Group say that he took the team to Los Angeles to play a training match in advance? And then I practiced this? ”

No one on the barrage was discussing the game itself at all, it was all tearing up.

Pei Qian took a look at the results of the previous game and found that the two domestic teams played one game each today and both lost.

One was the opening game, which was pushed flat for 30 minutes; In addition, it was the fourth game, but it lasted for more than 40 minutes, and the last breath was not lifted, and the opponent caught the opportunity to end the game with a wave of team battles.

Losing both games can be called the beginning of the collapse.

Because the schedule of this competition is relatively special, each group is three teams, and only one qualifier, although it is a double round-robin BO1, but each small score is extremely important.

Losing one game first has already made the qualifying situation very serious.

And more importantly, the two teams that lost are not the strongest European and American teams, because the No. 1 seeds in Europe and the United States, like the FV club, do not need to play the group stage at all, they are all waiting in the quarterfinals.

Even the non-No. 1 seed teams in Europe and the United States can't beat it, so wouldn't it be more vain to meet a real strong team?

Many viewers stayed up until three o'clock to watch the game, but after waiting for so long, they finally watched such aggrieved two games, they must have been so angry that they couldn't sleep, and they were going to spray wildly in the live broadcast room.

And not only in the live broadcast room, but also on major forums and video websites, players have obviously already sprayed.

"Is there such a big gap between the domestic team and the European and American teams?"

"Well, good things, good things."

"The strength of the FV team is similar to that of these two teams, and since these two teams have been abused, the FV team is estimated to be at the level of the first round of the quarterfinals, and there will not be too much heat."

Pei Qian couldn't help but be optimistic, and used his mobile phone to project the screen on the big TV, intending to take a quick look at the highlights of the previous games.

On Elle Island, the official account of IOI has been updated with the opening ceremony of the IOI World Finals, as well as the highlights of the previous matches.

The opening ceremony invited a European and American singer to sing the theme song, and there was also a dance troupe doing COS performances.

The venue is large and there are many people, so it looks more magnificent, and compared with GOG's original Global Invitational, it is obviously an improvement, so the response to the barrage is also more enthusiastic.

But when it came to the main race, the overall situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Pei Qian jumped and took a look at the two games lost by the domestic teams, and found that these two teams were really not wronged at all, if he stayed up late to watch these two games, he would definitely spray.

The first game was pushed against the wind, and the second game was carried away by the opponent after a long time of seesawing and missing many opportunities, and it is really difficult to say which one is more annoying.

The point is, I don't know if it's because of nervousness or some other reasons, the strength of these two teams doesn't seem to be playing, and the decision is hesitant and the operation is tied.

And in terms of lineup selection, none of the heroes Pei Qian has seen seem to have appeared.

Pei Qian had watched the IOI qualifying tournament in China in the magic capital before, and he was still familiar with several sets of traditional lineups, although he didn't know what the hero skills were, but he barely knew it.

But this competition was not chosen, and it was completely inconsistent with Pei Qian's previous impression of watching the game.

Pei Qian suddenly wanted to know about the situation on the FV club's side.

Since the FV club arrived in Los Angeles, Pei Qian hasn't paid much attention to them, after all, there is a time difference of more than ten hours between the two places, and it is not very convenient to connect.

But now this time is just right, so Pei Qian dialed Wu Yue on a video call.

Pei Qian was still a little worried, because the internal signal in most stadiums was not good, and if Wu Yue and the others were still at the game site, this video call might not be able to be dialed.

But after waiting for a while, the video call went through.

"Mr. Pei!"

Wu Yue was obviously not at the competition venue, but in the hotel, using the hotel's wireless network to make this video call, so the signal stability is not bad.

Pei Qian nodded: "How is the situation over there?" ”

Wu Yue immediately understood: "Mr. Pei, did you see that the other two domestic teams lost badly, so you are worried about our state?" ”

"You can rest assured, our players have been training hard, I dare not say that they will win, but they will definitely play their own style."

Wu Yue didn't dare to brag too much, after all, the FV club has always practiced with SUG, and he has never touched European and American teams at all, so he doesn't know what will happen if he really fights.

In case it is too big to brag in front of Mr. Pei, it will be too embarrassing to end up in the quarterfinals.

Pei Qian nodded, Wu Yue didn't look confident, it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, Pei Qian didn't think that the FV club would really play in the quarterfinals, after all, he was unlucky, and what he was looking forward to never happened.

If you really stand up, you can still make it to the top four.

If the top four are eliminated again, the face will be passable.

At that time, the firepower of netizens will definitely be concentrated on the other two clubs, and the FV club is still the strongest club in the ioi national server......

This will not work!

Pei Qian suddenly felt that the current situation was still not very stable, mainly because the performance of the other two clubs was too stretched, and the FV was set off at once.

Even if the FV club doesn't win the championship and gets a semi-final, it will be the best performing domestic team.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian said: "I saw that our club's official Weibo has been posting some daily photos and videos recently. ”

Wu Yue immediately understood: "Understood, Mr. Pei, you are saying that the game is imminent, and this kind of thing should be sent less, so as not to attract hatred and affect the mentality of the players?" I'll just tell them to stop posting on Weibo. ”

Pei Qian raised his hand: "No!" That was not what I meant. ”

"I mean, it's a good thing, we have to do more of it!"

"I have to post Weibo with high intensity every day, and my presence in front of players must be full."

"Not only that, but I also have to work Weibo, mock other teams, evaluate the game that has just ended, and find fault with the winning team."

"Jokes, emojis, you can give it all the whole thing! How high the traffic is, how to come! ”

Wu Yue was a little confused: "Huh? Mr. Pei, this is pulling hatred! ”

He can imagine what the result will be as soon as this content is released, it will definitely be sprayed by players, and it will also be dug up by players such as screenshots!

At present, the FV club is the No. 1 seed, and you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight before the quarterfinals, of course, it is no problem to say hello to other teams, but this will definitely offend the fans of other teams, and even arouse the disgust of passers-by.

When the time comes, it's good that the FV club wins the game, but if it loses, won't it be washed away?

Wu Yue hesitated a little: "Mr. Pei, this ...... It doesn't seem to be good, domestic players don't like this kind of high-profile behavior. ”

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Hmm...... You mean, domestic players don't like it, foreign players like it? Well, yes, you have a point. ”

"Then let's do it, your club will register all those foreign websites, such as Twitter, and so on, and synchronize them with Weibo, the whole English version!"

"It just so happens that we have invested in some overseas clubs, and I will let their official accounts interact with you so that no one will watch them."

"Okay, that's it, we have to start after today's game, and I'll check tomorrow. Hang up first. ”

Wu Yue: "Mr. Pei ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the video call had already been hung up.

Wu Yue was a little helpless, but there was no other way but to do it.
