This year's Spring Festival is January 23, which is earlier than in previous years. Pei Qian looked at the calendar and calculated the time, after the exam this week, he would have to spend a lot of energy to spend money and settle the bill.

Coming to the Touching Fish Internet Cafe, Pei Qian swiped his mobile phone while drinking a drink to see if there was any news recently.

"Huh? Foreign media revealed that the FV club could not make an appointment for a training match? ”

Pei Qian didn't want to pay attention to the news of the FV club, but this news was on the front page of the game and e-sports area, and it was impossible not to pay attention to it.

Seeing this news, Pei Qian perked up and hurriedly clicked in to check.

This is a piece of gossip from the foreign media, and the source of the foreign media seems to be clubs in Europe and the United States.

The news itself is simple, because the media went to interview the European and American clubs that reached the quarterfinals before the quarter-finals, and briefly asked them about their current form and training matches. One of the clubs said that the FV club offered them an offer for a training match, but they did not accept it.

Of course, this kind of gossip has no stone hammer, not even chat records, but the media that broke the news is still famous, so it was quickly reprinted by major media.

The quarterfinals don't start until the weekend, and the GPL Spring Season also starts this Saturday, so there's not much news in the esports world during this time. Such a gossip without a stone hammer was made to the headlines and sparked heated discussions.

Pei Qian also didn't know whether Longyu Group was involved, but seeing the popularity and discussion of this news, it would be impossible to say that there was no water army behind it.

There have been a lot of comments below this news, and there are quite a few people who are singing about the FV club.

"Didn't practice matches? That's too miserable, isn't it? ”

"Then you still play with a hammer, is it possible that you can only go to the ladder passerby bureau? Wouldn't it be bloody to get to the quarterfinals? ”

"This must be a dereliction of duty on the part of the club's management, right? The training match must be made early, and the training match is full before going to the appointment, and it will definitely not be available! ”

"I really thought it was time full, so I couldn't make an appointment? How can the mind be so simple? If you are really strong, will people miss the opportunity to play training matches with you? A hard squeeze will squeeze out time! Obviously, I think you are disliking, so make excuses to shirk it! ”

"Just go to foreign live broadcast platforms and forums to understand, all of them are brushing cn ioi noob, people think you are too vegetable, and playing training matches with you is a waste of time."

"What about the other two clubs? Just go back to China? It's all a domestic team, don't you stay and sparring for a while? ”

"Sparring a hammer, isn't FV falling into the well when the club loses the game? Still helping you with sparring? ”

"Heh, if you want me to say that this is all FV's own fault, wasn't it quite happy to work on Weibo before, and almost all the teams participating in the World Championship were ridiculed, and other clubs didn't say it, and they didn't have any mustard in their hearts? It's okay now, I'm isolated, I can't even make an appointment for a training match! ”

"There's no hope, this year's IOI World Finals is really hot, the qualifying rounds are sparse, and the group stage is that both teams have been eliminated, and the No. 1 seed has no training matches and is working on Weibo all day, and it is estimated that it will be 3:0 by then, so let's do it, watch the GPL."

"The game hasn't been played yet, so there's no need to be in such a hurry, right? It is said that SUG is still sparring. ”

"It's useless, the level gap at home and abroad is too big, isn't SUG also a life to be beaten? I don't even have the opportunity to play training matches with European and American teams, how can I study other people's tactics and playing styles? The understanding of the game has been thrown off a lot, and this is not something that can be compensated for by operation! ”

The Internet is full of voices, and even the few players who support the FV club don't have much hope.

Moreover, the FV club has been working on Weibo, and Longyu Group has invited some sailors to lead the rhythm, so FV's popularity is not very good.

Now as soon as the negative news of "no training match to play" broke out, it made it even worse for players who had no confidence in the domestic team.

In short, there is a gloomy cloud on the Internet.

Pei Qian flipped through the comments and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Yes!

Is this the so-called time and heaven and earth working together?

Even foreign clubs are starting to raise my hand?

Pei Qian didn't ask Wu Yue about the authenticity of the news, because there was a high probability that it was true.

Teams in the same division are inclined to group when they play training matches, after all, they don't want to reveal their division's unique skills to other regions.

Moreover, there is only one domestic team left in the quarterfinals, and those European and American teams play training matches together and isolate the FV club, which can objectively greatly weaken the strength of the FV team and reduce competitors for themselves.

It stands to reason that the foreign teams have very good motives for doing this.

Pei Qian was very happy and had already prepared in advance.

After the FV club quarterfinals are eliminated, he will call Wu Yue as soon as possible, telling everyone that they have done their best not to be sad, and continue to play in Los Angeles until the end of the World Finals and then come back!

……

Meanwhile, Los Angeles.

On the second floor of the Internet café, the two teams of FV and SUG are still seriously conducting daily training.

And Wu Yue looked at the news on the Internet at this time, and he was angry.

"Are these European and American teams sick?"

"If you don't take our training match, forget it, why do you talk around with a big mouth?"

"Neurotic! Why do you think we rarely play training matches with you? ”

FV Club has a dedicated data analysis team and two sparring teams, so there is really no need to play training matches with European and American teams, not only may they not be able to practice, but they may also expose their tactics.

But seeing that the start of the game was imminent, Wu Yue felt that it seemed inappropriate to have not played any training matches at all, so he thought about inviting a European and American team to play a dozen at random, which could be regarded as a hot hand before the game and stabilize the mentality of the players.

As a result, he went to several European and American clubs to make training appointments, but they were all rejected!

As for the reasons for the rejection, of course, these clubs will not say it explicitly, but will only use the phrase "the training match is full".

But in fact, everyone knows it.

There are more than 10 hours of training time in a day, how can a simple training match be full?

If it's a very important training opponent, you'll definitely be able to squeeze out time.

Therefore, the response of these clubs is to put it bluntly for two reasons: first, they feel that FV is too vegetable, the training match is ineffective, and they are unwilling to waste time; Second, deliberately huddle to isolate FV, affect FV's training state, and kill an opponent easily.

Wu Yue didn't pay too much attention to it, anyway, if he didn't make an appointment, there was no shortage of these training matches in the FV club, and everyone would break up if they didn't look down on each other.

As a result, I don't know which club has such a big mouth, and I told the media, and the news got out!

This made Wu Yue very angry.

"Tell the players, give me a dead hand in the quarterfinals, and dance and show the mark over the tower and chongquan!"

"Aren't these European and American teams looking down on people? Let them feel what cruelty is! ”

……

……

Saturday, January 7th.

Pei Qian slept until noon and didn't get up, refreshed.

I just finished a very critical closed book exam last Friday, and Pei Qian feels good about himself. So at night, when I was happy, I played games until late at night, and today I slept until I woke up naturally.

Pei Qian still has the last two courses to review this weekend, but one is open and the other is closed, so there shouldn't be as much pressure as before.

Pei Qian plans to relax a little, go to the GPL live on Saturday to watch the game, rest at home on the weekend, and then find some time to read a book.

And this weekend is like a holiday for esports viewers.

This afternoon, the GPL Spring Season will officially begin.

The schedule for the GPL Spring Tournament is very full, after all, there are 16 teams in the entire league now, and they have to play BO3, so there are games at all times except for Monday, when there is no game.

Moreover, although there is no game on Monday, a review program will be arranged to briefly review last week's game, review some key battles, and play the stalks that appear in the game to interact with netizens.

In terms of time, the GPL can be said to be a high-intensity work seven days a week, and the audience watches it every day.

At the same time, the ioi World Finals has also entered the quarterfinals, with two BO5s per day on Saturday and Sunday to directly determine the top four places.

Due to the time difference and schedule, the quarterfinals of the IOI World Finals are held at 5 a.m. on the second day of domestic time, which is more friendly to domestic audiences.

Watch the GPL opening game on Saturday afternoon, the ioi quarterfinals on Sunday morning, the GPL in the afternoon, and the ioi quarterfinals in the early hours of Monday......

It can be said that the schedule is full, and it is cool to watch it at one time.

Although there are not many IOI players in China, IOI is the world finals after all, and Longyu Group has been sparing no effort to promote it recently, coupled with a series of previous public opinion turmoil, the attention is still very high.

……

In the afternoon, Pei Qian wore a mask and came to the venue of the GPL spring game.

The pre-season has already been held last month, several new teams have been unveiled, some problems that have arisen in the game have been fixed and improved, and some possible emergencies have been planned.

Today's opener is scheduled for Team H4 and Team SHG, the former is the World Champion, and the latter is the team formed by Shenhua.

Since the formation of the SHG team, it has attracted much attention, after all, Shenhua's achievements in football are very good, and playing e-sports with football can be seen as a dimensionality reduction attack, and many people are looking forward to their performance.

In the previous pre-season, SHG also played a few times and performed well. After this period of preparation and running-in, the main lineup has been determined, and it has improved rapidly. According to the situation of the training match, Zhang Yuan finally decided to let them play the opening game, which can be regarded as giving this team a better opportunity to be exposed.
