Wu Yue and Manager Lu went through it quickly and then selected five team members, one for each position.
In fact, they originally just wanted to buy two players to fill the vacancies in the team. After all, they only had the three melons and two dates on hand, and they never thought that they could assemble a five-member all-star ioi team.
As a result, seeing how generous Lin Chang and other club owners were, I felt a little embarrassed if I didn't choose!
Even having two players in some positions would be good. Wu Yue and Manager Lu considered it again and again, taking into account the personalities, familiarity, cooperation and tacit understanding of all the team members, etc., and finalized the final five-man lineup.
These players can be said to be the players Wu Yue and Manager Lu had dreamed of before, but they had no choice but to afford them.
Before ioi was popular around the world and gog was not popular all over the country, a group of talented teenagers emerged in China, but most of these talented teenagers were divided up by established clubs such as sug and could not be purchased at all.
However, some time ago, with the rapid development of gog, the overall shrinkage of the ioi national server, and the establishment of the gl league, there are fewer and fewer domestic ioi players, and the environment is getting worse and worse. Both ioi players and clubs are starting to quit.
meaning.
The entire environment has become looser, and clubs are no longer waiting for prices to sell as before, clinging to the players in their hands.
Lin Chang and his new clubs were not short of money. The players of the GL League they established were too scarce, so they bought a group of ioi players at bargain prices and planned to cultivate them slowly.
Now that the clubs invested by Mr. Pei need one person from each club, wouldn't it be enough to form a team of five people?
Even for a big club like Shenhua, giving away a player for free will not have any impact on its own strength. Anyway, these players have not had the opportunity to play before, and they have to be slowly cultivated and adjusted slowly.
Now let them go back to play ioi and return to their old business, and at the same time give Mr. Pei a favor, why not?
After selecting the team members, the team leaders of each club immediately communicated with these players, and soon received a "yes" reply.
Because these clubs are easy to talk to, they will not restrict the freedom of the players in terms of contracts. The contract stipulates that these players will play in an Ioi qualifying tournament after transferring to the FV club. If they fail to qualify for the World Championship, they can choose whether to return.
Go to your previous club; if you qualify for the World Championship, you will make a decision after completing the World Championship.
For the players, everything such as salary and benefits remains unchanged, they can play their favorite ioi again, their teammates are very good, and they can still compete in the world championship.
Such a world-class game can bring a lot of popularity and traffic. If you play well in foreign games, you can attract a lot of fans. Even if you don't win the qualifications, you can return to your original club at any time without any losses.
Therefore, these players readily agreed.
Lin Chang said with a smile: "Okay, since the players have agreed, let's sign the contract. You will take them away today. Time is tight. Let's go and train hard!"
Wu Yue was deeply moved, and now he felt deeply what it means to have someone do things easily.
In fact, he didn't think much about it at first. He just wanted to give it a try and wanted to buy two players to complete the team.
Unexpectedly, these club owners were so supportive for the sake of Mr. Pei. These excellent ioi players were almost given away for free. The fv club only needed to pay the salary for the qualifying period.
Originally, Wu Yue felt that the chance of fv club making it out of the qualifying round was very slim. After all, the team's hard power was here and it would definitely not be able to be significantly improved overnight.
But now that he has such a star team of ioi, Wu Yue is suddenly full of confidence!
Although this team still needs to be run-in, veteran teams like SUG also need to be run-in. When rookies are pecking each other, fv club will be in trouble!
Wu Yue and Manager Lu quickly signed the contract and met the five team members.
The two shook hands with the team members one after another, with admiration and joy in their eyes.
Wu Yue finished shaking hands and said with some confusion: "You all have strong hands."
He also often gets along with the players on his team, but he feels that the players on his team are either skinny or bloated. As a result, the five players are all in shape and have strong hands.
Lin Chang smiled: "Oh, they have all been training according to dge's training method for a while, and their muscle mass has increased."
Manager Lu looked at one of the team members: "Pan Ying, can you be the captain from now on?"
Pan Ying has the smallest eyes among the five players, and is somewhat unattractive. But Manager Lu knows very well that Pan Ying has just turned 17 this year, and has been a high-scoring player in ioi for a long time. Playing in the auxiliary position, he is a rare commander.
type player.
As early as when selecting team members, Wu Yue and Manager Lu had actually decided to let Pan Yinglai take the position of captain and lead the team.
Pan Ying nodded: "Yes, but can I give you some advice on training?"
Wu Yue nodded: "Of course! We will be a family from now on. If you have any requests, just make them."
Pan Ying looked at the other four team members: "Then let me just say a few words. If you have any different opinions, you can always put them forward."
"First of all, I hope that daily training can continue to adopt the dge mode, and play according to the training methods of the Gog team, including distribution, field of view layout, line transition operations, etc., also be done according to the Gog method."
"Secondly, I hope that everyone can go to the high-level international server to play solo queue training and recover their personal skills."
"In the end, I hope to use the remaining players to form a sparring team and test various routines."
Wu Yue nodded immediately: "No problem! The fv club originally had three members. With two more members, we can form a sparring team. The two teams will improve faster by practicing with each other."
Manager Lu said with some uncertainty: "It's okay to use Gog's training method, but is it really okay to use Gog's playing method to play Ioi?"
Pan Ying nodded: "I think it's okay."
"After playing GoG training matches during this period and thoroughly studying the tactics of each team, I feel that the GoG team is indeed better than Ioi in understanding the game."
"Including line transfer operations, lineup selection, etc., they all inspired me a lot. In fact, the main difference between the two lies in hero selection, game rhythm, etc., but there are also many commonalities. As long as we can make good use of these commonalities,
If some of gog's tactics are used in ioi, they may have a surprising victory effect."
Manager Lu was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Is this okay?
Although it sounds a bit outrageous, after all, the games of gog and ioi are very different, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.
Although gog came out late in the game, the professionalization of e-sports events was much earlier than ioi. There is also a dge club that has been beating other teams, and the overall level has improved very quickly.
Although there are differences between these two games, they are the same type of games after all, and they have something in common in terms of game operation ideas.
These team members are all skilled in operations and have a good understanding of ioi. If they can integrate the operational ideas in gog games and use them, maybe they can achieve surprising results?
It’s hard to say whether I can get a ranking in the World Championships. If I can win the qualifying rounds and have a good time in the nest, that’s not bad!
Wu Yue nodded: "Okay, no problem, these requirements can be met, just go ahead and train hard!"
…
At the same time, ioi's domestic qualifying competition is also being intensively prepared.
This time the qualifying round starts in Magic City. After all, the national server headquarters of Zhitou Company and Longyu Group are both in Magic City. There are many clubs in Magic City and the e-sports atmosphere is strong. It is the best from all aspects.
choose.
The venue for the qualifying round is an indoor studio in a shopping mall in Shanghai. The venue is small and can accommodate 600 people. The venue has been almost decorated.
Not as impressive as GL, but still passable.
Ding Gan and Zhao Xuming walked around the qualifying venue twice and talked about the recent preparations for the qualifying tournament.
Ding Gan said: "Mr. Zhao, the team has been formed, so don't worry. However, our three clubs are also bleeding a lot to buy people. If we can't get out of the qualifying round, we will lose money..."
Zhao Xuming smiled: "You haven't decided whether you can qualify? This time we are here to help you put pressure on those small clubs and ask them to sell people. If you still can't qualify, don't you deserve it?"
Ding Gan laughed twice: "That's right."
When forming a team this time, various clubs are in a mess. Although Longyu Group has pre-selected three established clubs, it still costs a lot of money to buy players from other clubs.
Other clubs are unwilling to sell people, so they naturally have to pay relatively high transfer fees. Old clubs like SUG are already at a disadvantage and can only accept the slaughter.
However, bosses like Ding Gan didn't think too much. After all, spending money to buy a chance to appear in the ioi World Championship is not a loss.
All those small clubs have been dismantled, while the three established clubs such as SUG have been strengthened, and the possibility of being eliminated in the qualifying rounds is extremely slim.
Ding Gan looked at the competition venue and sighed softly: "Unfortunately, compared with GL's venue, the layout of this venue is still far behind."
Zhao Xuming said: "There is no way, let's watch the World Championships."
Both Longyu Group and Zhidou Company are short of money, but the key lies in where they spend it.
Renting a venue and renovating it are too expensive. When the time comes, renting a large venue and renovating it will cost a lot of money. As a result, only a few games will be played and the attention will not be high. Isn’t this a waste of money?
?
If you have money, you won't be willing to spend it like this.
So Longyu Group decided to choose a makeshift studio as the venue, as long as it was passable.
Anyway, the ioi world finals will be held in the United States, and the scene will definitely overshadow the gog finals, so that’s fine.
The domestic qualifying competition is nothing more than a formality to allow SUG and other three teams to enter the world championship legitimately. As for the venue, it is just a make-do.
