In fact, it is easy to understand why these players are scolding each other.
Because of the time difference, most of the viewers who were able to see it now got up at 3 a.m. As a result, after working hard for several hours to cultivate immortality, only to see such a result, it would be difficult for anyone else to accept it.
Today's game can be said to have reproduced the situation on the first day of the group stage.
One team loses like diarrhea, and the other team loses like constipation.
The first team was okay, at least they were eliminated cleanly, and the final result was 1-3. Fortunately, they didn't have their heads shaved, and retained the last trace of their dignity; but the second team was more embarrassing, and they persisted until the playoffs. In a life-and-death battle, if you win, you will be promoted. Both sides have a winner and loser in the game. It seems that they have a great chance, but in the end, there is still a slight difference.
If you miss it by a hair, you will miss it by a thousand miles.
Does it make the audience more angry if there is no hope at all? Or does it make the audience more angry if it gives the audience a lot of hope but is ruthlessly deprived of it in the end?
It’s really hard to say.
But there is no doubt that the audience's anger must have an outlet.
The two clubs posted Weibo apologies to the players as soon as they were eliminated, but it was of no use. The angry players immediately took over all the hot comments on Weibo, and someone had already planned it for them. The route back from the tour.
Pei Qian seemed to have seen the grand scene online after the fv club was defeated 3:0 in the quarterfinals.
Although these two clubs lost, they are not the No. 1 seeds and do not represent the highest level of domestic ioi.
So if you get scolded, you will get scolded, and most of the time it will only last a week.
When fv Club's quarterfinals start next weekend and the No. 1 seed is defeated 3:0, the audience's anger will definitely be focused on Fv Club, and the anger will be ten times worse than now.
Pei Qian had a little expectation.
At this moment, FV Club posted a Weibo message.
Wu Yue has not forgotten Mr. Pei’s request and is working hard all the time!
The new Weibo content this time is: "My teammates and I", and the picture on the Weibo is of a person going out, holding a large black garbage bag in his left hand and right hand, walking towards the trash can in the distance.
On the head of this person is the logo of the FV club, and the two big garbage bags are the logos of the other two clubs.
When Pei Qian saw this Weibo post, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Well done!
This Wu Yue really did exactly what I said. This hatred is so powerful!
The two domestic clubs had just been eliminated in less than ten minutes, and the audience who stayed up late to watch the game had no way to vent their anger. The fv club's Weibo post simply found a perfect place for them to vent!
Sure enough, the number of comments under this Weibo increased rapidly visibly to the naked eye.
"Good job! Those two teams are rubbish! You really spoke my mind!"
“It sprays well, I suggest you increase the intensity!”
"fv, you must train well. I won't criticize you after five games in the quarter-finals."
"Why put this whole thing on hold? Have you practiced the powerful heroes in the version? Have you prepared the secret weapons? Have the team members paid attention to their mental state? You are the only one left. If you lose 3:0 again, it will be over!"
"Can you work hard and win a small game?"
"You know how to add insult to injury. It's fun for you to see your brother's team be eliminated. Let's put it this way. No matter which foreign team you draw, you will be defeated by 3:0! The higher you jump now, the more you will be criticized in the future. The more ruthless you are, just wait!"
The two groups of people, the pros and cons, were dancing wildly and fighting together under the fv club's Weibo.
Fans who were angry at the other two clubs all felt that FV Club did a good job and found an outlet to vent their emotions; fans of the other two clubs were heartbroken and their hatred for FV Club was worth it. Exploded again.
Some people hope that fv will win, and some hope that fv will lose. Players with different positions are all attracted. This Weibo once again aroused a high level of attention.
Pei Qian expressed satisfaction with this.
The higher you win, the harder you fall; the more traffic you get now, the more severe the traffic backlash will be if you lose a game in the future!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian sent a message to Wu Yue: "The new work is going well, work harder!"
…
At the same time, the ioi global finals were held in Los Angeles.
Zhao Xuming was scrolling through his cell phone in the audience, groaning angrily.
"Is this fv club crazy?"
"They don't want to think about how ugly it would be if they lost the game and were beaten 3:0."
"Don't leave any escape route for yourself?"
"You are so quick to talk, but it makes everyone lose their temper. Is there something wrong with you?"
Zhao Xuming was absolutely furious.
At this time, all group matches have ended, the first place in each group has qualified, the four group firsts and the four number one seeds are redrawn to determine the quarterfinal schedule.
For Zhao Xuming, the current scene is a double blow.
His ideal scenario is that at least one domestic team will make it out of the group stage, and if you are lucky in the lottery, you can try out the fv club, and the domestic team will be guaranteed to be a top four, which will give you a relatively good reputation.
As a result, both teams in the group stage were eliminated. Naturally, the soft persimmon of the fv club had to take advantage of others!
As for why fv is said to be a soft persimmon, isn't it obvious?
The Longyu Group is completely free of charge to the fv club. They neither play high-end rankings nor have any training matches with any European and American teams. Their playing style is still stuck in the previous version. Isn’t this for nothing?
So what if I have been practicing with sug, sug is still a rookie, he can only get better with more practice.
When the time comes, fv will be beaten 3:0 cleanly, and the scene will be too ugly.
What hit Zhao Xuming and Zhitou Company even more was that, except for the domestic teams, there were upsets!
The other two groups also fought fiercely, and both fought to the point of life and death. The audience enjoyed watching it very much, and the discussion on the Internet was also very high. In short, everything was beautiful.
The only bad thing is that it was an upset!
An old club that had been forced to terminate its contract by Zhitou Company was actually eliminated! Another team that everyone was not optimistic about and did not arrange forced termination entered the quarterfinals.
As a result, Zhao Xuming counted carefully and found that among the eight teams, there was actually one team with a GoG logo on its uniform!
There is no gog logo on the fv club's uniforms, but the problem is that everyone now knows that this is a club invested by Mr. Pei, and it doesn't matter if it has a logo or not.
This is very depressing.
The difference between 0 and 1 is the difference between nothing and something. It's not very serious, but it's very annoying.
So Zhao Xuming became more and more angry as he watched the draw for the quarter-finals.
At this juncture, fv Club has done several good things in succession, mocking two domestic teams and all the foreign teams in the quarterfinals, highlighting one with full firepower.
Zhao Xuming became even more angry.
The key is to ridicule the domestic team and make Zhao Xuming feel that he is very embarrassed!
For the officials, although the team lost, they certainly cannot leave the field and ignore it. This will affect the image of the officials, the entire competition area, and even the game in the minds of players.
No matter how bad the performance is, the officials should focus on expressing regret and encouragement, and they should be able to live up to their reputation.
Therefore, when Longyu Group officially issued a press release, the main content must be: the two teams trained hard and made many attempts and changes during the game, but failed due to objective reasons such as version understanding and weak foundation.
Achieving good results, I hope to adjust my status and keep up the good work, and I also hope that the players will have more support and encouragement, etc.
But when the fv club jumped out to ridicule, it was a bit like going against the official, and the scene was very unsightly.
What's more, these two teams were brought to Los Angeles for early training by Zhao Xuming with money from the Longyu Group. He spent the money but had no results. Zhao Xuming was not easy to explain to the senior leaders of the Longyu Group.
No matter how I think about it, I feel like I’m losing blood!
Zhao Xuming couldn't help but frown, thinking seriously about what he had to do to reverse this unfavorable situation.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw the lottery results on the big screen, and his eyes lit up.
Got it!
The rules of the draw are that the four No. 1 seeds will draw the first place in the four groups, and whoever is drawn counts. There are no rules such as circumventing the same division.
And fv club just picked the European club that was killing the domestic teams!
The old and strong team Fry Club is an American club that defeated another domestic team in a life-and-death game after a hard-fought battle.
Judging from the current strength, these two quarter-finals matches will be one-sided crushing, and the viewing experience will be relatively poor.
But for Zhao Xuming, this grouping provides him with a valuable opportunity to manipulate public opinion.
Zhao Xuming's assistant was sitting next to him, also paying attention to the feedback on the Internet.
The difference is that Zhao Xuming mainly focuses on the country, while the assistant mainly focuses on the comments of foreign players on Twitter.
"Mr. Zhao, the picture of the fv club has also gone viral on Twitter."
"A lot of people are already using words like 'ioi noob', and some are recreating the picture with that picture. The target of ridicule has been raised to all domestic ioi teams..."
"What should we do?"
Zhao Xuming took the phone from his assistant.
The picture of "Me and My Teammates" from FV Club was posted on Weibo and Twitter at the same time, and both received a lot of popularity.
However, the feedback from players at home and abroad is different. Domestic players are divided into two groups, some are criticizing the two clubs and some are criticizing fv. However, the attitude of foreign players is relatively unified and they are all mocking.
Under this tweet, many foreign players are using "ioi noob", which means that the domestic ioi level is too rubbish and is simply a novice level.
The picture with the highest number of votes is a re-creation of the previous picture. The original picture shows a man carrying two large bags of garbage walking towards the trash can, but this picture shows the man digging into the trash can like an onion.
Two large bags of garbage were thrown aside.
The meaning is very clear: FV Club, please stop making fun of other clubs, you are rubbish yourself!
It is normal for this kind of public opinion to appear. After all, judging from the results of the group stage, two domestic teams were eliminated, and only the No. 1 seed was left in the quarterfinals. However, the teams from the two European and American divisions successfully qualified for the group stage and joined the No. 1 seed.
The top eight showed a tendency to double-team the only remaining fv.
Most foreigners have the kind of character that if I win, you will ride on your face and ridicule them. Now many people feel that they have already won, so it is not surprising that similar remarks appear.
Zhao Xuming was silent for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "Hey, what can we do? E-sports still relies on strength. If someone else's team wins, they won't have the temper to mock us."
"We got a bad hand from the beginning and we can't win no matter how we play. There's nothing we can do about it. But we still have to work hard to play the cards in our hand well and lose as little as possible."
The assistant nodded: "Then what exactly do we do?"
Zhao Xuming thought for a moment and said: "Hotness, traffic, and voice!"
"Now the two domestic teams that we have high hopes for have been eliminated, and the fv club can't count on it, so it is no longer possible to rely on results to generate positive hype."
"If fv club gets good results, it will not be good news for us. Of course, the probability of this is very low."
The assistant nodded and immediately understood what Zhao Xuming said.
Everyone knows that fv club is Mr. Pei’s club. Now two domestic teams have been eliminated in the group stage. So if fv club wins the quarterfinals, it will be considered by the players as “Mr. Pei’s success” instead of “
The success of Longyu Group”.
And if the fv club loses, although Longyu Group will still bear the brunt of the criticism, at least it will not create more heat for Mr. Pei.
Zhao Xuming's idea is to ignore the issue of whether to be scolded or not for the time being, and to find a way to focus the attention on the ioi national server and Longyu Group!
Zhao Xuming explained: "Next week, the GPL Spring Split will start. This is a very sensitive time. Because next week happens to be the start of the quarterfinals."
"There is a high probability that the fv club will be beaten 3:0 that day."
"The most disadvantageous thing for us now is that the failure of domestic teams in the ioi World Finals will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of ioi national server players and dampen their sense of belonging and pride in this division."
"There will definitely be many people who will turn to GPL and play GoG because of this. This is unacceptable to us!"
"So, we must take precautions and find ways to retain this group of players."
"We want to publicize that ioi is played by many people abroad and is currently the most popular game in the world. Although gog is doing well, it is only played by domestic players and has little popularity abroad."
"Moreover, we can also produce a lot of evidence to support it."
"For example, the ioi global finals was held in a large venue with 20,000 people in Los Angeles, while gog only held it in a studio in Jingzhou; another example is that the domestic teams in the ioi global finals were defeated miserably, while gog's domestic teams won all the games.
The top three shows that there are many foreign players playing ioi and their competitive level is higher than gog."
"If you want to connect with the world and experience the most competitive games, you still have to watch ioi."
"In this way, many players will feel that gog players are in a state of 'sitting in a well and watching the sky'. The gog global invitational tournament can take the top three simply because foreigners don't play it, and ioi is the most watched game in the world. Players
This should give you a sense of superiority..."
"Although it is a spiritual victory method, it should also have a certain effect. The fight between netizens on both sides is also a kind of heat, which is better than no one paying attention."
"If you want to compete with the opening game of the GPL Spring Split for traffic, this is the only way to do it. It's a no-brainer."
The assistant couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Mr. Zhao, you can come up with such a method in such an extremely passive situation. It's really amazing!"
Zhao Xuming's move is actually confusing right and wrong.
Countless people have popularized science online. Gog's current overseas market share is not low. It is basically evenly matched with Ioi in the PC field, and it is even more outstanding in the mobile game field.
But many people still have the illusion that "foreign monks can chant sutras."
In the minds of many people, foreign games are good, and domestic games are copycats. Since ioi is a foreign game, it must be higher than gog.
Therefore, although gog is more localized, its painting style is more in line with Chinese aesthetics, and its gameplay is more suitable for most ordinary players, there are still some people who feel that it is not as good as ioi, a "foreign monk".
In fact, this concept has always existed. What Zhao Xuming wants to do is to strengthen this inherent stereotype by spreading news online, and deliberately create a feeling that "ioi players are more noble than gog players".
In this way, the nature of ioi's team being beaten overseas and gog's domestic team being beaten has completely changed.
The former is because ioi is an international event, and the domestic level is indeed not good. It is a challenger, and it is normal to lose; and the latter is because gog is a domestic club entertaining itself, and it cannot explain the problem if it abuses foreign teams.
In an instant, he turned against the guest and reversed the public opinion situation that was unfavorable to him!
Of course, there is a distortion of the facts in this argument.
But in business competition, similar rhetoric is very common. Everyone chooses what is beneficial to them, and this is understandable.
The assistant immediately made arrangements as Zhao Xuming said.
…
…
Monday, January 2nd.
In the study room, Pei Qian is reviewing.
Although he had many places to review, such as Moyu Internet Cafe, his own home, the company office, etc., after trying them all, he found that reviewing in the self-study room was the most efficient.
I have to say that sometimes if you want to concentrate on something, the environment is very important, and self-control alone is not enough.
This week will officially enter the exam week, especially for the closed-book exams. Pei Qian feels a lot of pressure, so he can only seize the time to sharpen his skills.
Halfway through, Pei Qian took his phone out of habit and browsed the forum.
It was just a subconscious behavior at first, but I didn't expect that there was an unexpected gain!
In major forums, there are still endless scoldings about the disastrous defeat in the ioi World Championship. A whole day has passed and there is still no sign of stopping, which is enough to show how angry the players are about this.
But what surprised Pei Qian was that the direction of public opinion seemed to have undergone some subtle changes!
This can be clearly seen from the titles of some hot posts in the forum.
In a post titled "Domestic e-sports started late, has a weak foundation, and must continue to work hard", the author explained in great detail some of the objective reasons for the failure of this Ioi World Championship.
For example, the ioi divisions of major clubs have basically suffered the impact of gog, and personnel have been replaced. At the same time, due to the lack of training matches, many players have difficulty maintaining their status, etc.
Similar problems exist objectively, and you can always find many if you look for them.
But that's not the point.
Someone in the post refuted the post's point of view: "Why does ioi represent domestic e-sports? The gog global invitational tournament has just passed a few months ago, didn't it just beat foreign teams? Why doesn't gog have this problem?"
"
As a result, this reply played right into the poster’s mind.
"For a game that is only played by Chinese people and has a low reputation in the world, is it meaningful to discuss the results? Currently, everyone abroad is playing ioi, and foreign clubs are also based on ioi. What does it mean that gog is dominant?"
Someone immediately retorted, saying that the old foreign clubs also have GoG branches and participated in the GoG Global Invitational Tournament, but they just couldn't beat it. Otherwise, why wouldn't they come and get the bonuses if they were so rich?
But the poster still has his say.
"These old clubs established Gog branches just because Tenda gave them money. It is said that they gave them high sponsorship fees, and they will play with you for the sake of money. To put it bluntly, this invitational tournament organized by Gog is to pay for foreign invitations.
The team is being beaten as a punching bag to satisfy the vanity of the Chinese people. You don’t really think that this is the true competitive level of domestic and foreign teams, do you?”
Both sides held their own opinions and got into a quarrel.
Obviously, the poster's argument is still somewhat deceptive to many people who don't know the truth. Coupled with the fuel of the trolls, the debate between the two sides is very fierce.
There are also many gog players who have worked very hard to popularize science, telling everyone that gog has a high market share abroad, which is not much different from ioi, but the results have been minimal.
Because the die-hard players of ioi and the trolls are not here for rational discussions at all. No matter what the players of gog refute, they just keep talking about "entertaining themselves" and "paying foreign uncles to accompany them to study" and other arguments.
Repeated emphasis will aggravate stereotypes. When fighting on the Internet, the truth is not important. Most people only need to repeatedly emphasize a fixed label. Even if the label is very low-level and brainless, as long as it is emphasized more, there will always be someone who will
remember.
The so-called "discussions" on the Internet are often the same as scolding. The competition is not about the truth, but about who has the loudest voice.
Obviously this group of people is well versed in the principles of fighting online, and has achieved excellent results with a very small number of people.
Many GoG players were very angry because of this, but Pei Qian felt very happy.
Okay, it seems that Longyu Group is not just a freeloader, it finally worked!
During the previous ioi domestic qualifying competition, Longyu Group's performance was really poor. Pei Qian just went to watch the game and did nothing. Longyu Group collapsed without fighting, which really disappointed Pei Qian.
But now, Longyu Group finally begins to struggle!
Pei Qian said he was very pleased and hoped to increase efforts!
As long as you continue to hack, wait until this weekend, the fv team will be abused in the quarterfinals, and the gpl will start again and the navy will make more comments such as "amusing themselves", which will definitely affect the popularity of the gpl spring season
