Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Friday, December 30, 8 AM.

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

In the past two days, I made up my mind to review and finally received some results. At least I read dozens of pages of notes, which is a good start.

It's the same today. Get up in the morning and review more quickly while your mind is clearer in the morning, so that you don't just think about salted fish in the afternoon and evening.

While brushing his teeth, while looking at the phone.

"Huh? Yesterday the ioi global finals started? Oh, yes, it seems to be today."

"The game seems to be still in progress."

The game started at 11 am Los Angeles time yesterday, which is 3 am Jingzhou time today. There are six games a day, and it has now reached the fifth game.

Domestic audiences have to cultivate immortals perfectly if they want to watch the game. They have been watching the morning from the early hours of the morning.

Pei Qian is not that interested in ioi's game. After all, he has never played it before, does not understand, the timing is not suitable, and the FV club does not need to play the group stage.

So he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, he just clicked on the live broadcast platform and took a look after seeing the relevant news push today.

Obviously, under the vigorous promotion of Longyu Group, the ioi global finals are still relatively hot in China. Major news clients are pushing news, and all live broadcasting platforms have also given a lot of recommended resources. It seems that the heat is very hot. high.

In addition, the GPL pre-season has just ended a few days ago, and the spring game has not yet begun. During this gap, many players who have nothing to do will choose to take a look at the ioi global finals.

Pei Qian clicked into the live broadcast room and found that they were playing two foreign teams that he did not know at all. They were currently in a state of equilibrium and were playing more anxiously.

The scene looks very tense, but the barrage is not discussing the game itself at all. Instead, fans on both sides of ioi and GOG are tearing up frantically.

"Rubbish! I was pushed flat in the opening match, so don't play the back games. Come back!"

"I played an outrageously prominent player. Why didn't the unique heroes take it anymore? The original tactics are no longer needed, and I have learned from foreign teams? I still don't learn like it!"

"It's just a Handan toddler, and he has lost his own things! Playing too ugly!"

"Such a good venue, such a handsome opening ceremony, this game has a lot of cards, but the domestic team was beaten up. Isn't it disgusting?"

"Let’s be more tolerant, this is only the first game. And it’s not good if you don’t learn. The version has changed. If you play the last version, you will only lose even worse."

"Damn, I mainly stayed up all night and only watched this? If it weren't for the GPL Spring Split, I wouldn't watch this broken game and get angry!"

"Then quickly go back and see your GPL! A junk game that only Chinese people are playing."

"Oh, let me tell you something. The foreign market share of ioi and GOG has long been the same. GOG is not only played by the Chinese. It's just that the domestic teams of GOG slap foreign teams."

"I don't know if you have seen the GOG logo on the uniforms of foreign clubs? Is it possible that you are blind, can't you see it?"

"The ioi finals against GOG's mark are outrageous, and Zhitou is probably going to blow up."

"That's no way. The club has already accepted the sponsorship. You can't just pay the penalty for breach of contract according to others' heads, right? You can only refer to the finger company. I didn't expect this layer before that the club was not forbidden to accept GOG sponsorship."

"Don't be arguing, GOG scores are really good, but that's because Tenda is in a hurry! If the gaming environment of ioi is not squeezed so hard, how can the strength be so weak?"

"The classics themselves are not up to date and blame the environment. Didn't Longyu Group say that they took the team to Los Angeles to play the training game in advance? Then they practiced this?"

No one on the barrage is discussing the game itself, all of them are tearing up.

Pei Qian looked at the results of the previous games and found that the two domestic teams had each played a game today, and they all lost.

One was the opening match, which was pushed flat for 30 minutes; the other was the fourth match, which lasted for more than 40 minutes, but did not hold his last breath. The opponent caught the opportunity and ended the match in a team battle.

Lost in both games can be said to be the start of the collapse.

Because of the special schedule of this competition, each group consists of three teams and only one qualify. Although it is a double-loop BO1, each small score is extremely important.

Losing a game first is already making the qualifying situation very serious.

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

Even the non-No. 1 seeded teams in Europe and the United States can't beat it. Isn't it more white to meet a real strong team?

Many spectators stayed up until three o'clock to watch the game, but after waiting so long, they finally watched the two games that were so aggrieved. They must have been so angry that they could not sleep in the live broadcast room.

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

"Does the domestic team differ so much from the European and American teams?"

"Well, good things, good things."

"The strength of the FV team is similar to that of these two teams. Since these two teams have been abused, the FV team is estimated to be at the level of the quarterfinals round, and there won't be much heat."

Pei Qian couldn't help being optimistic, using his mobile phone to cast a screen on the big TV, intending to quickly watch the highlight moments of the previous games.

On Elli Island, ioi's official account has updated the opening ceremony of the ioi global finals, as well as the highlights of the previous games.

At the opening ceremony, a certain European and American singer was invited to sing the theme song, and there were also dance troupes doing COS performances. The overall impression was pretty good, and there were more cards.

The venue is large and crowded, so it looks more magnificent. Compared with GOG's original Global Invitational, it is obviously improved, so the response from the barrage is also relatively enthusiastic.

But when it comes to the race, the overall situation takes a turn for the worse.

Pei Qian jumped to take a look at the two domestic teams' lost games, and found that it was not wrong for the two teams to be sprayed. If he stayed up late and watched these two games, he would definitely be sprayed.

In the first game, he was pushed against the wind, and in the second game, he was taken away by the opponent after a long time and missed many opportunities. It is really hard to say which is more annoying.

The point is, I don't know if it's because of tension or some other reasons. The strength of these two teams doesn't seem to be played out. Decision-making hesitates and the operation is restrained.

And in terms of lineup selection, none of the heroes Pei Qian had seen appeared on the stage.

Pei Qian had seen ioi's domestic qualifying matches in the magic city before, and he was familiar with several traditional lineups. Although he didn't know what the hero skills were, he barely knew him.

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

Pei Qian suddenly wanted to know the situation on the FV club.

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, which is not very convenient to connect.

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

Pei Qian was still a little worried, because most of the stadiums had poor internal signals. If Wu Yue and the others were still at the game, this video call might not be able to be dialed.

But after a while, the video call was connected.

"President Pei!"

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

Pei Qian nodded: "How is the situation on your side?"

Wu Yue immediately understood: "President Pei, did you see that the other two domestic teams lost miserably, so worried about our state?"

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

Wu Yue didn't dare to brag too much. After all, the FV club has been practicing against SUG, and has never touched European and American teams. I don't know what it will be like.

In case the bragging is too big in front of President Pei, the result is a round of the quarterfinals, it would be too shameful.

Pei Qian nodded, Wu Yueyi seemed to have little confidence, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

But Pei Qian didn't think that the FV club would really make a round of the quarterfinals. After all, he had bad luck, and the things he expected never happened.

If it is really good, you can still make it to the top four.

If the top four are eliminated, the face will be better off.

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

This won't 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 hip, which immediately set off the FV.

Even if the FV club fails to win the championship and gets a semi-final, it is also 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 about to come. This kind of stuff should be sent less, so as not to attract hatred and affect the mentality of the players? I will tell them to stop posting Weibo."

Pei Qian raised his hand: "No! I didn't mean that."

"I mean, this matter is done very well, we must increase our efforts!"

"We must post high-intensity Weibo every day, and the presence in front of players must be full."

"Not only that, but I have to work on Weibo, taunt other teams, comment on the game that just ended, and specifically pick out the faults of the winning team."

"Joke, emoticon, give it all that can be adjusted! How come the traffic is high!"

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

He can think of what the result will be when the content is released, it will definitely be sprayed by the players, and the players will take screenshots and other graves!

At present, the FV club is the No. 1 seed. Before the quarter-finals, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Of course, other teams are no problem, but this will certainly offend fans of other teams and even arouse the disgust of passersby.

At that time, the FV club won the game fortunately, if it loses, won't it be broken?

Wu Yue hesitated: "President Pei, this... doesn't seem to be a good thing. Domestic players don't like this high-profile behavior."

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Well...you mean, domestic players don't like it, foreign players like it? Well, that's right, what you said makes sense."

"Let's do this, your club will register all foreign websites, like Twitter, etc., and synchronize with Weibo, all in English!"

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

"Okay, that's it. The whole game will start after the game today. I will check tomorrow. Hang up first."

Wu Yue: "President Pei..."

Before he finished speaking, the video call was hung up.

Wu Yue was a little helpless, but there was no other way but to follow suit.
