Losing Money to Be a Tycoon c1-883

  “More importantly, we discovered that most IOI teams do not have a deep understanding of the damage and mechanisms of the defense tower. They mistakenly thought that it would be safe to hide under the defense tower in the early stages. However, in fact, IOI’s defense tower seems to have high damage but it is not as high as we imagined. As long as we let the small soldiers take the first hit of the defense tower and use their skills to avoid the last hit of the defense tower, it would be enough to kill Chaos Misfortune…”

  Wu Yue was convinced and nodded repeatedly.

  Obviously, this was the power of data!

  Other teams might have also thought about how the early stages of the game would affect Chaos Misfortune’s development. However, without the support of the corresponding data, they would not have thought of directly crossing the tower.

  Min Jingchao continued, “Speaking of which, this is also a tactic that GOG used before. If it was the previous version of IOI, it would be very risky to cross the tower. However, the new version of IOI increased the speed of farming after slight adjustments. GOG’s playstyle can be used.”

  “I can only say that we are working well with Finger Games’ version update.”

  …

  Jingzhou.

  Pei Qian’s hand that was holding the potato chips froze in mid-air. He did not put it into his mouth.

  That was because he could no longer understand the direction of the live-streaming game on television!

  On the FV team’s side, their army was intact. Chaos Misfortune had been trembling under the tower the entire time. If his teammates did not come, he would die. If his teammates came, they would die together. It was a tragic sight.

  CEM battleteam was obviously stunned. His teammates did not know if they should help him or not. If they did not help him, this Chaos Misfortune would definitely die. He would not be able to develop at all. If they helped him, they might also die together.

  They lost the initiative bit by bit in their repeated hesitation.

  On the other hand, FV Club was like a precision machine. The five players were like five parts that operated perfectly. Step by step, they controlled the field of vision, snatched the map resources, and grabbed the list. The huge advantage of the top lane quickly spread throughout the entire game.

  In the end, in just 25 minutes, FV Club relied on the huge snowballing economic advantage to directly pierce through CEM and end the battle.

  The first round ended easily. The score between the two teams changed to 1: 0!

  The competition had temporarily come to an end, and the players of both teams returned to their resting rooms to rest. The camera panned to the members of the CEM team. Their confident and proud smiles had completely disappeared, replaced by confusion.

  He had never seen anyone play games like that!

  Previously, they had felt good about bullying noobs in the group stages. However, after meeting FV today, they suddenly felt that they were playing a different game from the group stages. They were completely suppressed by their IQ and could not use their strength. They were being beaten up by the other party.

  The scariest thing was that the coach might not even know how to play the next two rounds.

  If they had only lost because of the hero, Chaos Misfortune, then they could have just banned it on the next round. However, this time, they had obviously been defeated from all angles. From the performance of the first round, both parties were on completely different levels in terms of tactical arrangements and details. How could they play against them?

  The members of CEM Team did not expect to be hammered in the head in the first round by a team that everyone thought to be weak. They could not accept this fact for a while.

  The direction of the bullet screen changed on the television in front of Pei Qian.

  The voices that questioned why FV Club released Chaos Misfortune had completely disappeared. The entire screen was filled with praises like 6666 or impressive, awesome.

  Even the fake reviewers who had been trying their best to lead the game had stopped.

  This competition was too good!

  Unlike the teams in the group stages, FV Club chose an early-stage lineup and carried it out without saying a word. They started killing people at level two and repeatedly sent their troops on the way. After that, they invaded crazily and ate the opposite jungle clean. The snowball rolled very quickly and did not give the opponents any chance throughout!

  In the end, they even showed off their skills and displayed his arrogance.

  In fact, Finger Games’ new version of IOI was to speed up the pace of the game, strengthen the confrontation, and improve the viewing pleasure of the competition. FV Club, on the other hand, vividly displayed the characteristics of the new version, highlighting a bad-tempered person.

  The audience felt an inexplicable sense of joy as they watched the invincible Chaos Misfortune being repeatedly trampled over by the FV, which wished that it could die twice in five minutes.

  They had finally vented all of his pent-up anger from being mocked “cn ioi noob” by foreign gamers!

  However, everyone knew that this was only the first round of the BO5. They could not be too blindly optimistic. FV Club had thought of a way to counter Chaos Misfortune. It was equivalent to using a big move to win.

  In the next round, the opponent could just ban Chaos Misfortune entirely. It was still unknown what the outcome would be.

  The players who had been disheartened by the domestic IOI before now felt like they had just been rescued from a hopeless situation. They once again perked up and continued watching the competition!

  …

  Los Angeles, at the competition venue.

  Zhao Xuming stood below the stage, watching FV battleteam’s successive victories with an expression of shock.

  During the two hours of competition, Zhao Xuming had a strange feeling that this world was not real!

  The commentator at the venue was the official commentator of Finger Games. His English was fluent and passionate.

  On the big screen, the purple side had already attacked the blue side’s high ground. The final battle was about to begin.

  “The CEM team has the first casualty. They were utterly defeated. FV began to pursue the victory! Miracles did not happen. At the last moment of the third round, CEM team tried to fight a perfect team battle to save their own fate. However, they failed because of the vision that FV set up in advance!”

  “The FV maintained a perfect formation, advancing steadily like an invincible tank, making the CEM team feel extremely hopeless!”

  “It’s a pity that this is a competition that cannot be recorded in the history books because this competition ended in just 25 minutes. This battle is so overwhelming that it’s difficult for us to judge if it’s because we severely underestimated FV’s strength or because CEM performed abnormally for some unknown reason?”

  “However, no matter what, FV, which was unanimously looked down upon before the competition, showed their fangs in this competition. They used three hearty victories to prove their strength. Perhaps all the opponents have to reevaluate the true strength of this Eastern team. Obviously, their performance in the competition was as shocking as their performance on Twitter!”

  The English commentators at the venue were not stingy with their praise as they praised FV Club.

  Obviously, today’s competition had completely conquered everyone. It had even challenged their understanding of the game.

  Zhao Xuming fell into a state of confusion and almost thought that he was hallucinating.

  The FV actually beat the opponent at 3: 0 and made it into the top four?

  What’s more, every round would take only about 25 minutes or so. The entire scene was one-sided!

  In the competition, FV Club displayed two different styles:

  During the time of the match and the snowball, all the players completed their tasks as accurately as robots. They could hardly see any mistakes;

&
nbsp; Once they entered an advantageous period, they would play aggressively. They would surpass the tower, show their mark, and torture the spring. They simply did not treat the opponent as a human. They would play the top eight of the finals as though the opponents were a bunch of rookies!

  Obviously, this was something that could only be done if there was a clear gap between both parties’ strength and understanding of the game.

  Zhao Xuming had been waiting for FV Club to be defeated at 3: 0 so that the fake reviewers would increase their efforts. Yet, FV had given the opposing team 3: 0!

  All the excuses he had prepared earlier were all for nothing!

  The only thing Zhao Xuming felt now was confusion.

  Wasn’t FV Team just a team that was about the same strength as SUG? If they were to say that they had won one round, that would be a huge win. However, if they were to thrash the European and American teams at 3: 0, what would they say?

  Zhao Xuming even suspected that Boss Pei secretly changed all five members of FV Team. Otherwise, how could such a drastic change happen in such a short time?

  It was not only Zhao Xuming who did not understand. Long Yu Corporation, Finger Games, and even the entire world’s audience did not understand either.

  Boss Pei’s series of operations had completely touched their blind spot in their knowledge.

  At the same time, ‘culprit’ Pei Qian, who was far away in Jingzhou, was silently drinking the Happy Fat Otaku Water and thinking about life.

  It was winter now and sunrise was relatively late. Pei Qian woke up at five in the morning after setting the alarm. The sky was still dark.

  In the end, the three rounds only lasted for one and a half hours. It was 6: 30 am, and the sky was still dark outside!

  This BO5 was so fast that the audience felt like “This is it? What happened?”

  Pei Qian had thought that FV would be dealt a clean 3: 0, but it was the complete opposite!

  Did… something go wrong?

  He was already feeling a little dizzy from waking up early. Now that something completely unexpected had happened, Pei Qian even suspected that he was not fully awake and was dreaming.

  The next BO5 had already begun in the live-stream but it was obvious that the bullet screen commenters were still immersed in the previous match.

  Pei Qian browsed the forum with confusion, wanting to see the netizens’ reactions.

  The forum was brimming with joy.

  “3: 0 and tortured them! That’s so satisfying!”

  “These European and American teams are still looking down on us? Didn’t they refuse to play mock competitions with FV? Are they convinced now?”

  “I’m dying of laughter. Is this the veteran European CEM that you bragged about before the competition? Why did it shatter at the first touch? I’ll give you all the heroes you like to play, and then smash them to pieces!”

  “I realized that FV’s mindset is very good. I can clearly feel that the members of CEM were a little upset after the first round. They were not mentally prepared at all and were beaten silly.”

  “Indeed, it looks like the first round was completely targeted in terms of tactics, but it was the best performance by CEM. The last two rounds were more or less a little self-destructive and deformed.”

  “It’s like a dream. Before the competition, everyone said that it would be 3: 0. Who would have thought that it would really be 3: 0? Let’s not say anything else. FV is awesome!”

  “I apologize for criticizing the FV Club as trash previously! Now, it looks like they have definitely trained in FV and practiced a lot. Otherwise, how could they improve so quickly in such a short period of time? They even developed the playing style of Chaos Misfortune?”

  “That’s right, FV is like a completely different team compared to the qualifiers before. It’s a complete transformation!”

  The idiotic netizens on the forum began to praise him crazily. All the weird and contradictory posts were attacked by the masses. The posts that maliciously stepped on FV before were dug out and repeatedly tortured.

  E-Sports was just like that. If you played well, you would be praised; if you didn’t play well, you would be criticized. As long as you had results, even if you really had a negative title, you would be able to achieve positive meaning. The teams that could win could do whatever they wanted.

  FV Club was not looked well upon before the competition. The team that accepted the challenge was recognized as a strong team, but in the end, they performed so well that it was one-sided. They crushed their opponents at 3: 0. It was not an exaggeration to boast about such a performance.

  What’s more, many people were so excited because they had been suppressed for too long!

  The two teams in the country did not appear in the group stages. The foreign netizens had been spamming “Cn IOI Noob”. Coupled with the fact that FV had been exposed for not being able to get anyone to play mock competitions with them, many domestic audiences felt like they could not lift their heads.

  On the other hand, FV Club’s performance had given the haters a huge slap in the face. It also made all the domestic players feel proud!

  Many people were commenting on the internet, wanting to see what the FV team were going to say about them. Many people were also analyzing the post-match review, explaining how the FV was strong in tactics, details, operations, execution, and so on, and why they could win the CEM at 3: 0.

  The situation on the field changed rapidly during the competition. Many details could not be noticed.

  Most of the audience only had the impression that FV could do whatever it wanted like a humanoid machine. However, they could not figure out why CEM could only take the beating passively without being able to resist at all.

  Many viewers on the internet were also criticizing CEM. They said that they had not performed well and that their mentality was rubbish. The key was that they had not even performed 10% of their usual standard in the top eight.

  That was normal. After all, it was very difficult to sincerely admit that opponents played well.

  However, as professionals analyzed the three rounds of competition, the powerful secret of FV Club gradually surfaced.

  From the targeted tactical arrangements of the BP segment, to the players’ ability to carry out the competition, to the spontaneous reaction when an accident happened, and finally to strengthen support and seize the map resources to snowball…

  The netizens could not help but sigh when they saw the review analysis. FV was so detailed, too detailed!

  Countless details were added together, making the opponent completely unable to fight back.

  Were the CEM’s performances abnormal? There was indeed such a factor. After all, they had been completely beaten in the first round without being able to fight back. It was a heavy blow to the confident CEM before the competition. It obviously affected their mentality for the next two rounds.

  However, the problem with their mentality was definitely not the main reason why they lost this BO5.

  After reading the review and analysis, most netizens came to a consensus. How was this a problem of mentality? This was a problem of strength. They could not win!

  It was not that CEM had not found an opportunity before, but FV was like an iron wall. Their vision and advancement formation were too perfect with them leading in the economic factors. CEM could not find an opportunity at all. Forcefully fighting them would be handing the victory to them.

  That was why they had lost the competition in such a sullen manner the entire time. This had nothing to do with their skills. It was a complete crushing of the game’s understanding!

  All the forums were filled with this joyous atmosphere. No one even discussed the next BO5.

  Before this, most people had thought that FV would most likely be taken away by 3: 0, and that there would be a round in the top eight. However, from the looks of it now, as long as they cont
inued with their performance today, it should not be too much of a problem for them to make it into the finals. There was even hope for them to fight for the championship!

  At that moment, some netizens realized that FV Club had posted another Weibo post.

  The content of this Weibo post was very short: Cn IOI, charge!

  On the screen was a sci-fi mech (it was actually the original painting of Mission and Choice). The tail of the mech was spewing pale blue flames, and the entire space seemed to be slightly distorted because it was moving too fast.

  The head of the fighter jet had the logo of the FV Club, while the wings of the fighter jet had the logo of the other two domestic clubs.

  Many netizens saw that FV had posted a new Weibo post and thought that it was another live Weibo performance such as throwing the CEM into the trash can.

  FV’s previously mocked all the other teams before competing. Wouldn’t they be doing a big mockery now that they had beaten their opponent 3: 0?

  However, the content of this post was beyond everyone’s expectations.

  They did not mock any other teams. Instead, they raised the reputation of the two teams that had been eliminated in the group stages.

  The comments below the post immediately increased rapidly.

  “FV is awesome!!!”

  “Keep winning. We have to see 3: 0 next week as well, understand?”

  “The foreigners deliberately teamed up and said that our domestic IOI teams are noobs. Fortunately, you guys were hardworking enough. If not for you guys, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to get rid of the label of ‘noob’ for the next one year. Well done!”

  “Hurry, I want to see the new VLOG of my team members!”
