Chapter 806 The GPL Spring Split Begins!

The Spring Festival this year is on 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 will spend a lot of energy rushing to spend money and settle accounts.

When he came to Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian sipped his drink while swiping his phone to see if there was any news recently.

"Huh? Foreign media revealed that the FV club can't make an appointment for a training match?"

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

Seeing this news, Pei Qian cheered up, and hurriedly clicked in to check it out.

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

The news itself is very simple. The reason is that the media went to interview the European and American clubs that entered the quarter-finals before the start of the quarter-finals, and simply asked them about their current status and training status. One of the clubs said that FV Club asked them for a training match, but they did not accept it.

Of course, this kind of gossip does not have a stone hammer, and there is no chat history, but the media that broke the news is relatively well-known, so it was quickly reproduced by major media.

The quarter-finals will not start until the weekend, and the GPL Spring Split will also start this Saturday, so there is no news in the e-sports circle during this period. Such a gossip without a stone hammer made the headlines and sparked heated discussions.

Pei Qian also doesn't know if Longyu Group is involved, but seeing the popularity and discussion of this news, it is impossible to say that there are no trolls behind it to fuel the flames.

There have been many comments under this news, and many people are bad-mouthing the FV club.

"No training match? Isn't this too miserable?"

"Then play with a hammer, is it possible that you can only play the ladder passerby game? Wouldn't you be tortured by blood in the quarterfinals?"

"This must be the negligence of the club's management, right? You must make an appointment for the training match early. The training match is full before you make an appointment. You must not be able to make an appointment!"

"Did you really think that you couldn't get an appointment because the time was full? Why are you so simple-minded? If you are really a strong team, people will miss the opportunity to play training games with you? Hard crowds will also squeeze out time! Obviously they dislike you , so find an excuse to shirk!"

"Go to foreign live broadcast platforms and forums and you will understand. They are all using cn ioi noob. People think you are too good. Playing training games with you is a waste of time, okay?"

"What about the other two clubs? They just went back to China? They are both domestic teams. Why don't you stay and practice with them?"

"Practice with a hammer, isn't FV making trouble when the club loses the game? And help you practice?"

"Heh, if you want me to say that this is all FV's own fault. Didn't Weibo have a lot of fun before, and almost all the teams participating in the World Championships were ridiculed. Other clubs don't say anything, but they can No grievances? It’s fine now, you’ve been isolated, and you can’t even make an appointment for a training match!”

"It's hopeless. This year's ioi World Finals was really exciting. The qualifying rounds were poor. In the group stage, both teams were eliminated. The No. 1 seed didn't have a training match and spent all day on Weibo. It is estimated that it will be 3:0 at that time, so let’s go to the GPL.”

"The game hasn't been played yet, so there's no need to be so anxious to sing bad news, right? It's said that SUG is still training as a partner."

"It's useless. The level gap between domestic and foreign countries is too big. Isn't SUG also beaten? He didn't even have the chance to play training matches with European and American teams. How can he study their tactics and style of play? Game understanding is left behind. A large part, this cannot be made up by manipulation!"

The Internet is full of bad-mouthing 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 the popularity of FV is not very good.

Now that the negative news of "no training matches to play" broke out, it made the players who had no confidence in the domestic teams even worse.

In short, the Internet is full of gloom.

Pei Qian flipped through the comments and couldn't help but beam with joy.

sure!

Is this the so-called "everything is the same as heaven and earth"?

Even foreign clubs have started to support me?

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

Teams in the same competition area tend to stick together when they play training games. After all, they don't want to reveal the bottom-of-the-box unique skills of their own competition area to other competition areas.

Moreover, FV is the only domestic team left in the quarter-finals. Those European and American teams team up to play training games and isolate the FV club. Objectively, it can also greatly weaken the strength of the FV team and reduce competitors for themselves.

In terms of emotion and reason, the motivations of foreign teams to do this kind of thing are very sufficient.

Pei Qian was very happy and had already made preparations in advance.

After the FV club is eliminated in the quarter-finals, he will call Wu Yue as soon as possible to express condolences, telling everyone that he has tried his best not to be sad, and will continue to play in Los Angeles until the end of the world finals before coming back!

...

Meanwhile, Los Angeles.

On the second floor of the Internet cafe, two teams, FV and SUG, are still earnestly carrying out daily training.

But Wu Yue looked at the news on the Internet at this time, and couldn't get angry.

"Are these European and American teams sick?"

"It's fine if you don't pick us up for the training match, and why are you still talking about it?"

"Crazy! Why do you think we rarely play training games with you?"

The FV club has a dedicated data analysis team and two sparring teams. There is really no need to play training matches with European and American teams. Not only may they fail to practice, but they may also expose their tactics.

But seeing the start of the match was about to start, Wu Yue felt that it was inappropriate to have never played any training games at all, so he thought about inviting a random European and American team to play a match, as a way to warm up the players before the game and stabilize the mentality of the players.

Unexpectedly, he went to several European and American clubs to make appointments for training matches, but all of them were rejected!

As for the reason for the rejection, these clubs will of course not say it clearly, they will only use the rhetoric that "the training match is already full".

But in fact everyone knows it.

There are more than ten hours of training time in a day, how can the pure training match be full?

If it is a very important opponent in the training match, he will definitely be able to find time.

Therefore, the response of these clubs is plainly based on two reasons: first, they feel that FV is too bad, and the training match is ineffective, and they don’t want to waste time; opponent.

Wu Yue didn't take it too seriously at first. Anyway, if he didn't make an appointment, he would make an appointment. The FV club doesn't lack these few training games.

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

This made Wu Yue very angry.

"Tell the team members that during the quarter-finals, give me a dead hand, and dance all over the tower and the spring!"

"Don't these European and American teams look down on people? Let them feel what cruelty is!"

...

...

Saturday, January 7.

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

Last Friday, he just finished a very critical closed-book exam, and Pei Qian felt pretty 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.

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

Pei Qian intends to relax a bit, go to the GPL on Saturday to watch the game, rest at home on the weekend, and take some time to simply read a book.

And this weekend is like a holiday for esports viewers.

This afternoon, the GPL Spring Split will officially start.

The schedule of the GPL Spring Split is very full. After all, there are now 16 teams in the entire league, and they will play BO3, so there will be games at other times except for Mondays.

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

In terms of time, GPL can be said to be a high-intensity exercise seven days a week, and audiences watch it every day.

At the same time, the ioi World Finals has also entered the quarter-final stage. There will be two BO5s every day on Saturday and Sunday, and the semi-finals will be directly determined.

Due to the time difference and schedule, the quarter-finals of the ioi world finals took place at 5:00 a.m. the next day domestic time, which was more friendly to domestic audiences.

Watch the opening game of GPL on Saturday afternoon, watch the ioi quarter-finals on Sunday morning, continue to watch GPL in the afternoon, and continue to watch the ioi quarter-finals in the early morning of Monday...

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

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

...

In the afternoon, Pei Qian came to the venue of the GPL Spring Split wearing a mask.

The pre-season match was held last month, and several newly formed teams have already appeared. Some problems in the game have also been repaired and improved, and some possible emergencies have also been prepared.

Today's opening match is arranged between the H4 team and the SHG team. The former is the world champion, while the latter is a team formed by Shenhua.

Since the formation of the SHG team, it has attracted much attention. After all, Shenhua has a good record in football. Using football to play e-sports can be regarded as a blow to reduce dimensionality. Many people are looking forward to them. Performance.

In the previous preseason, SHG also played a few times and performed well. After this period of preparation and running-in, the main lineup has been determined, and the progress is rapid. According to the situation of the training match, Zhang Yuan finally decided to let them start the opening battle, which can be regarded as giving the team a better chance of exposure.
