Chapter 1365 President Pei Is Invincible (Plus Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
Jin Yong was very confused.
How did you get into a dead end?
According to Chretien, there are actually only four situations in this final: FV team crushes CEM, CEM crushes FV, FV wins hard, and CEM wins hard.
Among them, only CEM crushed the FV team, which is an acceptable result for the finger company.
Why?
Even if CEM won't win so neatly, it's still a win if it wins 3:2. Isn't it the same as winning the world championship to steal the heat from the previous FV team?
Chretien shook his head and explained: "The key is that the version change of the World Championship is too obvious for the FV team, which invisibly adds a lot of emotional points to the FV team."
"Even if the FV team loses 2:3, there will not be many people who will recognize the gold content of CEM as a champion."
"But on the other hand, if the FV team wins 3:2..."
Chretien didn't go on, because that situation was the last thing he wanted to see.
Jin Yong finally understood, his eyes widened slightly: "So it is!"
If this final is an absolutely fair duel, then, whoever wins the championship will be the biggest winner, there is no doubt.
But the key point is that the World Championship version of Zhitou Company has focused on the heroes that the FV team is good at, and has greatly enhanced the heroes that the European and American clubs are good at. This is equivalent to writing "I don't want FV to win the championship". .
When this version change was just announced, players actually had a heated discussion about it, thinking that although the finger company did this completely within the rules, it still seemed a bit shameless.
If a game company adjusts the balance of the game not for the purpose of making the game better, but to favor certain teams, then as the organizer, this is obviously an unfair position.
In fact, this is also the case in traditional sports, such as table tennis, which keeps changing the rules.
However, the changes in traditional sports are not so obvious. Unlike ioi, which lists which heroes to enhance, everyone understands.
Although it caused some controversy, after all, the World Championship had not yet started, and no one could tell how the plot would develop, so there was not much opposition.
Many foreign clubs will not be able to get cheap and sell well. Since Zhitou Company has made changes that are beneficial to them, it is most practical to accept it with peace of mind, prepare carefully, and win the championship with a few words.
But this does not mean that this kind of thinking of the audience has completely disappeared, but only temporarily hidden.
But after the game really started, the FV team went all the way, and played every game, all reminding the audience of this matter.
From the near misses in the group stage, to the stumbling blocks in the knockout stage, to the final match against CEM who is best at strong heroes with the version lineup, the members of the FV team just used a lot of practice to improve the proficiency of these heroes. To the extent of being able to go to the final stage.
The CEM team came up with a version of strong heroes, and the audience would not be surprised, because everyone knew that they played well;
But the FV team came up with a version of the strong heroes, and the audience will be very surprised, because the FV team didn't play these heroes originally, and now after they take it out, everyone wants to see how they play!
And if it's a hero that didn't play well at first, but it's effective when taken out, it's enough to let people see the hardships and efforts that the FV team has put in behind the scenes.
That's why Chretien said that there is only one situation that is acceptable, that is, the CEM team crushes the FV team.
The audience will not have much sympathy for the losers who are powerless to resist. If the FV team really fails miserably, then there will definitely be more people who sneer and fall into trouble than those who understand them.
At that time, if the audience mentions the problem of the version again, it will only usher in the ridicule of others.
"Who do you blame if you can't practice the version hero?"
But now, the FV team has just trained these heroes. Although they still can't reach the proficiency of the unique brother, they rely on good teamwork and strong tactical execution to fight against the darling of this version of the CEM team. To the fifth inning.
Then even if they lose the last game, the FV team will become a tragic hero, an innocent victim in the struggle between ioi and GOG, and a solid proof that the finger company "changes the version and cuts the championship"!
And the gold content of the champion of the CEM team naturally has to be marked with a question mark, leaving a lot of controversy.
If the FV team finally wins, it will be even worse!
It will even be worse than the ending of the FV team crushing the CEM team.
Because if the FV team crushed again and easily won the championship, it proves that this team is strong, and no matter how the version changes, it will not be affected. In this way, the behavior of the finger company to change the version will not be so deliberate.
The defeated team was convinced, and the fans of the FV team would not hold on to it, and this matter was just a laugh.
But now the two sides are tied 2:2, and the strength is so close, then the global audience will definitely have many opinions on the revision of the finger company. No matter what the result is after the game, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of quarrel on the Internet. .
Jin Yong went through this matter from beginning to end, and found that the finger company didn't have a good solution.
The FV team that President Pei invested a lot of resources to build is like a nail, it is firmly nailed into the heart of the finger company, and it can't be dealt with at all!
The FV team was originally a team that brought together the best players in the country, and then used strict training, favorable conditions and a professional data analysis team from GOG to hone the team. Compared with other domestic teams, it is a thriving team. of.
And this team is so eye-catching in the environment where the ioi national service continues to decline.
If the FV team wins, then under the overall slump of the national service ioi, it will further highlight the strong strength of President Pei and the GOG team in team training;
If the FV team loses, it can only be regarded as a single tree. It is the problem of the sluggish ioi national server. In the final analysis, it is GOG's great power, which has robbed the ioi market.
On the other hand, in the face of FV winning the championship, there is not much they can do.
If the version remains the same, continues, or changes very little, expecting foreign teams to win the FV team after a year of natural development? That's actually not realistic, at most it is catching up, not necessarily surpassing.
And the version can't stay the same, because players have to play new things.
After the version change, it must be weakened for the FV team, and it must be hoped that other teams can win the championship.
But in this way, it will leave everyone with the impression that "Zhitou Company is the only seed for the domestic team of FV".
Especially when the finals were played so anxiously, this impression was further strengthened...
This seems to be a dead end, nothing can work out!
All the decisions made by Zhitou Company cannot bypass the FV team, and whether the FV team wins or loses, it seems to be excusable.
As long as the FV team maintains its original aspirations, does not self-explode, does not expand, does not break out huge negative scandals, and does not experience a cliff-like decline in the strength of its players, then for the finger company, this is a nail that can never be pulled out, and it will always be inserted. In the heartland, a throbbing pain!
Although the lively battle song has been played and the atmosphere has reached its peak, Jin Yong's previous excitement has disappeared.
Like Chretien, he began to have serious concerns about public opinion after the game.
...
"Congratulations to the FV team, when everyone thought that they would miss the two consecutive championships due to the change of the meta, they successfully adapted to the meta with strong perseverance and persistence, and finally defeated the CEM team in five rounds. In the end, I won the championship of this ioi global finals!"
"Let's congratulate the FV team again, and give a warm applause to the CEM team for their wonderful performance!"
After all, the commentary on the stage is a professional commentary. In the process of commentary, it did not completely fall to the CEM team like the top management of the finger company, but uphold objectivity and fairness.
Maybe the commentators were more or less moved by the performance of the FV team, after all, they understand the game.
The fireworks and golden streamers on the stage spurted out in an instant. With the applause and cheers like a tsunami in the stadium, the five members of the FV team hugged each other excitedly again and boarded the podium!
As for the top executives of Dayak Group and Finger Company who presented the awards, they still had to force their faces and smile to present the awards to them.
Maybe some of them are still annoyed: why is the CEM team so unsatisfactory?
Persevere a little longer, make fewer mistakes, and win more rounds?
Isn't that a win?
But that's it, it's useless to say anything.
Jin Yong looked at the empty seats next to him. Chretien learned the lesson from the last time this time, and saw that the situation was not going well and left early, without encountering the embarrassing scene of FV winning the championship.
Moreover, Chretien's position is also different from last year. Last year, he was the host, but this year he is a soy saucer, so why stay and block himself.
After the awards came the interview session.
Although the big bosses of the organizer are very reluctant, this necessary process has to go.
Different from the last interview, this interview with the FV players was even more touching.
After all, professional players use their bodies to fight against the version, which is a difficult thing to do, but it is actually more difficult to do.
Compared with last year's smashing the Quartet with the advantage of the version and the tactical lead, it is obviously more touching to win the championship this year by the fierce battle against the version.
Finally, the host came to Pan Ying, the captain of the FV team.
As the team's assistant and commander, Pan Ying's "interview with the black hole" is quite lovable, and she is also an old acquaintance of the audience and the host.
After asking a few regular questions, such as tactical understanding, team cooperation, etc., the host suddenly had an idea and decided to play it on the spot.
"In the interview for winning the championship last year, you once said that the most important thing is to thank your boss, President Pei, because he arranged all this, so who do you think you should thank the most this year?"
After thinking for a moment, Pan Ying said, "I would like to thank all the fans and players who support us this year, especially the players in the national server."
"Please rest assured, the FV team will definitely fight with you to the last moment to defend the honor of the ICL League!"
I don't know why, it was obviously an award ceremony that should be happy, but Pan Ying's words added a bit of heroic tragic color out of thin air, which made people sigh.
