When Pei Qian woke up and saw the topics on various hot search lists, he was completely confused.
“#supportFV team’s transformation into GOG#???”
“How did this thing become a trending topic?”
"That's outrageous!"
Pei Qian went to bed after watching the FV team's game yesterday and didn't pay much attention to the discussion on the forum.
The only thing that pleased him about yesterday's game was that after the FV team won the championship, they finally stopped saying "Thank you Mr. Pei".
As for whether the FV team loses or wins, it is acceptable to Pei Qian and is not a big problem.
But when he woke up and casually checked his phone, Pei Qian became completely calm when he saw this hotly searched topic.
What's going on?
Why do you support the FV team to transform into GOG?
At first, Pei Qian thought that this topic was started by GOG players, and they were trying to gain ground on ioi.
But after clicking on the topic and reading everyone's discussions, I found that I guessed wrong.
After the game yesterday, GOG players were all discussing the wonderful battle between the two domestic teams in the Global Invitational Tournament, and did not pay attention to the FV team at the first time.
That is, some tipsters came to the GOG forum to congratulate Mr. Pei for winning the double crown of GOG and ioi again, and let everyone celebrate.
The first thing that started to change was the ioi forum.
If the FV team loses, it will be a bit bitter to go to FV Company to change the version and secretly send balancers to other teams. But now that the FV team has won, the old and new grudges will have to be talked about!
Because in e-sports, only those who win have the right to speak, and only those who complain can feel confident.
The FV team has proven that they can still win the championship despite being targeted by the host company's version, but this also means that they will be targeted even more next year.
So the ioi players were unhappy and felt that the FV team was not worthy, so they started a topic and hoped that they would switch to GOG. As players, of course they would follow suit.
This topic was originally only hotly discussed in the ioi circle, but many GOG players saw it and thought it was a good thing! Welcome it with both hands!
You ioi players have obviously made a wrong decision. The mistake is that you decided too late!
You should have switched to GOG as early as last year!
Therefore, GOG players are naturally happy to add fuel to the popularity of this topic. In one night, the topic #supportFVteamtransformationGOG# has become a hot topic, even surpassing GOG and ioi.
The topic of winning the World Championship.
Even under the Weibo account where the FV team celebrated their victory, the first few comments were all about feeling unworthy of them and hoping they would switch to GOG as soon as possible.
Pei Qian was dumbfounded when he saw these contents.
This is a completely unexpected event!
If the FV team really transfers to GOG, will it be okay?
You must know that the FV team is the two-time champion of ioi's world championship, and it has two sets of championship skins.
If the champion skin has been transferred to GOG before it is even made, isn’t it equivalent to rubbing the finger company’s face on the ground?
What should I do? Should I do something?
After all, Pei Qian is still the boss of the FV team. No matter what he says, whether he wants the FV team to transfer to GOG or stay with ioi, most people in the FV team will listen.
But Pei Qian thought about it and decided to leave it alone.
If the FV team wants to transfer to GOG, then transfer. If you don’t want to transfer, don’t transfer.
It's up to them to decide on this matter.
If Team FV really feels aggrieved by staying in ioi, then Pei Qian can't bear to force them to stay there.
Even if the FV team really transfers to GOG and brings a group of players, they will probably bring some players from the ioi national server, and there are not many players left in the ioi national server.
So Pei Qian did not continue to worry about this matter.
Now that the GOG and ioi world championships have come to an end, this matter can almost be brought to an end. Let’s continue to worry about other things...
…
2pm European time, 8pm domestic time.
In the hotel where the staff of Zhitou Company stayed, Chretien, Jin Yong and several senior executives of Zhitou Company were holding an emergency meeting.
Logically speaking, Jin Yong should not participate in a meeting of this level, but the problem is that the issues to be discussed this time are mainly about the national server.
After the FV team won the championship yesterday, domestic online public opinion exploded, but the activity of players in the national server dropped!
Today, the operators of the ioi national server have sent a message saying that player activity on the second day after winning the championship dropped sharply compared to the same period!
This is despite the fact that the ioi national server has launched various welfare activities such as half-price championship skins and extra experience for playing games.
And since today is still Sunday, there should be more players.
For other regions, the championship was snatched away by the FV team and it was difficult to arouse the enthusiasm of the players. Why did the player activity in the national server also plummet? Or even more serious than other places?
This is completely unacceptable!
You know, there aren't many players left in the ioi national server. If this continues, it's hard to say whether there will be enough people to play the game in this national server.
If it’s a stand-alone game, it doesn’t matter how many active players there are online. Anyway, everyone plays independently and doesn’t affect each other; but in MOBA games, the game experience of players depends entirely on the total number of players. If there are fewer people, there will be no match.
Opponents of similar strength and low-level players can easily be defeated and crushed, which will further aggravate the bottom-up collapse of the entire pyramid structure!

If this continues, the Chinese server may be out of service in a few months.
Even if you grit your teeth and hold on, there is no point. When the time comes, it will only take ten minutes to queue up a game, and it will actually be no different from shutting down the server.
This emergency meeting was held to resolve these two major issues.
First, what can be done to stop the loss of players in the ioi Chinese server?
Second, how should we resolve the negative comments on the domestic Internet about encouraging the FV team to switch to GOG?
Chretien and Jin Yong, as the persons in charge of the ioi national server, naturally couldn't run away and were immediately brought to the meeting.
Jin Yong was sitting in a corner of the conference table, listening to the high-level executives of Zhidou Company and Chretien chattering away, feeling a little hopeless.
His speaking skills were pretty good, but he still felt uncomfortable in situations like this.
I originally thought that the ioi World Championship was over, I would be able to fly back tomorrow, and there wouldn’t be any major tasks in the near future.
Unexpectedly, before the person flew away, the pot flew over first!
Even though he is not in the country, he still has to take the blame when something goes wrong on the ioi national server, which is outrageous.
Jin Yong felt that he was really unlucky for eight lifetimes.
He felt lucky to be selected into the ioi Cooperation Department before. After all, this was a key project designated by the senior management of Longyu Group, but now he has deeply realized that this is a sinkhole!
Since joining this department, there has been no stopping at all!
There are always some incredible and serious problems appearing in all kinds of unexpected places.
It won’t work if we don’t deal with it, and we can’t deal with it even if we deal with it!
Taking this incident as an example, Jin Yong couldn't figure out how to deal with it even if he thought about it.
The only way he could think of was for Zhitou Company to give in, and then adjust back the content that had cut off the FV team in the next version, and make a statement: "We are indeed doing data balancing seriously, not
"Aiming at FV Team".
But is this possible?
If Zhitou Company wants to do this, it is indeed possible to recover some players of the ioi Chinese server and retain the FV team, but it is also likely to cause another series of losses.
Will foreign players and teams think that you are succumbing to the power of domestic players? Will they think that this is "a crying baby getting milk"? What if foreign players also threaten to withdraw from the game?
If we strengthen the heroes that FV team is good at and give FV team three consecutive championships next year, will the teams in other divisions still be able to compete?
You know, the current strategy of Zhidou Company is to let the ioi national server wait for death and focus on the European market. This time, it finally won a CEM and was just one step away from the championship. If they changed everything back, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?
?
The current situation is that players in the ioi Chinese server think they have been unfairly treated and don’t want to play with you; but players in Europe and the United States cannot win the championship every year and see no hope every year, and they are very unhappy.
If there is only one game called ioi in the world, then that's it. I can only blame myself for being too bad.
However, GOG is currently expanding very strongly in the European and American markets, and leagues have also been established. European and American teams have made significant progress from being beaten last year to reaching the semi-finals this year.
If you can't win the championship, then for those players in Europe, where will it be different?
GOG is ahead of ioi in many aspects, and its momentum in recent months is obviously much stronger than ioi. No matter how you look at it, it is more worthy of investment and more worth looking forward to than ioi.
So a very strange situation occurred on ioi, and everyone felt that they should be taken care of.
If we continue to target the FV team, Chinese players will quit; if we change it back, European and American players will quit.
This fundamental contradiction cannot be resolved at all. From the moment Zhitou Company targeted the heroes of the FV team in order to let the European and American teams win the championship, this outcome was already doomed.
If the CEM team can win the championship, they might be able to keep their European side, but now, neither side can win.
Everyone discussed and discussed, but all they mentioned were very superficial methods, such as making the champion skin more attractive, holding more activities to promote the FV team in the country, and in the spring version, first change the heroes that the FV team is good at to return to the world.
I'll think about whether to cut it or not.
But everyone present also knows that these measures cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Even if they can have an effect, the effect is likely to be limited.
After a period of silence, Chretien said: "Maybe we have to prepare for the worst in advance."
"If the loss of players in the national server makes it difficult to operate normally, and the value of the ICL league is on the verge of collapse, what should we do?"
