  “Today, FV Team’s team coordination is as beautiful as before. It’s the same as the quarterfinals and the semifinals, easily defeating the opponent with 3: 0. You guys are playing very well from the perspective of the bystanders. Everyone seems to be very clear about the next movements of their teammates, as if you are a collective intelligence. May I ask how you guys managed to achieve such perfect team coordination?”

  Chapter 855 - How Did Boss Pei Thoroughly Remould The Bottom Tier Team?

  Pan Ying thought for a moment. “Perhaps it’s because the coaches have already explained the various ways of playing in detail before. We have also conducted many targeted training, so everyone knows what to do. Everyone will understand after I say a few words.”

  “That’s why I’m not doing any special operations.”

  The host was very surprised. “So, including the exchange of resources in the early stages, the explosive kills, and even whether or not to engage in the team battle, were all arranged by the coaches beforehand?”

  Pan Ying nodded. “While it’s impossible to be specific to each team, based on the economic gap between the two teams and the key equipment of the core heroes, we can determine if we can have a group attack. These were all instructed by the coaches in advance.”

  The audience looked very surprised after hearing the translation.

  Pan Ying’s words were a little nonsensical, he was not the first member to say that.

  All the members of FV Team, including the top, middle, and jungler players who were interviewed previously, all said that their performance was inseparable from the arrangement of the coaches. It would be easy to win as long as they played according to the plan planned by the coaches.

  The host asked again, “What do you think is the most important thing to win this championship? Teamwork? Or trust between teammates?”

  Pan Ying thought for a moment and said, “Thank you to the coaches for arranging tactics for us, and our brother team’s SUG for sparring with us. I feel that there is no obvious difference between our team’s overall strength and FRY’s teams. We can only win because we are well-prepared.”

  “Of course, the most important thing is to thank our boss, Boss Pei. That’s because all of this was arranged by him.”

  The host was a little surprised because all of the team members had unified their opinions and attributed the greatest credit to the coaches!

  This was actually a relatively rare situation.

  That was because even though all the e-sports clubs in the world had the position of coach, the position of coach was far from being absolute.

  In the country, many players were internet addicts and high score passers-by. They looked down on the coaches from the bottom of their hearts. They felt that the coaches’ scores were not as high as theirs so why should he teach them how to do things? Their analysis was so logical but yet they could not even handle high-end games. How could they use it to compete?

  That was why the coaches of many clubs in the country had been reduced to ordering take-out. The strategy that they had developed was more of a suggestion. Celebrity players had a strong say.

  The current situation in Europe and America was not much better.

  The other coaches would basically be given for nothing unless a retired veteran changed professions and became a coach.

  It was unheard of for teams to be completely obedient to the coach team like FV Team. It was also unheard of for a coach to be able to completely calculate the situation on the field and make arrangements in advance.

  Finally, the host came in front of Coach Zhou Pengyuan.

  “Coach Zhou, the players have all attributed the credit for winning the championship to the coach team. May I ask how the FV’s coach team developed these extremely imaginative tactics?”

  The tactics for these three rounds, be it using force demolition to deal with global style, swaping lanes to ensure Chaos Misfortune’s development, or the adopted torture method of the Storm Swordsman and Specter Blacksmith, were very imaginative.

  Not only did the opponent FRY Team not realize it, even the commentators and audience did not realize that FV Team would play this way.

  Zhou Pengyuan smiled and said, “That’s because we have a special data analysis team. We have a comprehensive evaluation of the values of all the heroes in the first, middle, and later stages after the modification. We have dug out many heroes that seem unpopular but can actually be used through online training and mock competition. What’s more, we have a special tactical team that will move some classic tactics over and turn them into their own tactics.”

  The host was listening intently when the director’s slightly nervous voice suddenly sounded in his earpiece. “Don’t continue to pursue this question!”

  The host’s expression changed. After listening to the director’s simple explanation, he realized that these tactics had evolved from GOG. If he continued, there would be a huge problem. He quickly changed the question.

  “Then, may I ask what’s the meaning of winning this championship for your teaching career? Are you planning to charge to another peak with FV’s players in the future? For example, continue your current dominance and fight for the championship for next year’s world finals?”

  After a moment of silence, Zhou Pengyuan said, “Actually, I was only arranged by my boss to be FV Team’s coach before the international competition began. To me, this championship is a good interlude for my teaching career.”

  “As for the future… I’m not sure if I’ll continue to be FV Team’s coach because I still have my own team to take care of. However, working with FV Team members and the other members of the team is quite enjoyable. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future.”

  The broadcast director’s nervous voice sounded in the host’s ears again. “Don’t ask this question too deeply! He’s GOG Team’s coach!”

  The host was speechless. What was going on with the interview? Why were there pits everywhere!

  He did not dare to ask any more questions. What if he asked something that he should not say? Wouldn’t that be a huge problem?

  There had not been big problems for the entire international finals. What would happen if the interview at the end of the award ceremony failed?

  The host quickly said, “OK, thank the FV team members for the interview again. Let us give the applause and cheers to the champion team of IOI’s global finals, FV Team!”

  IOI’s global finals finally came to an end amidst the warm applause and cheers!

  …

  At the same time, the live-stream in China exploded.

  It was not only the live-stream but also countless viewers and players on various forums discussing the final interview.

  “Why are these FV team members acting so pretentiously?! Every interview has a signature sentence!”

  “The top laner with ‘as long as you have hands’, the jungler with ‘teammates kill too quickly’, the middle lane is ‘basic operations’, the bottom lane is ‘hanging out with teammates’, the support is ‘not commanding much’, so heartless!”

  “That’s not right. I’ve seen the live-streams of these people playing games. They don’t seem to be so pretentious. Could they have been infected by someone?”

  “This answer is ridiculous. Everyone feels that they are not carrying the team but doing what they are supposed to do? Could it be that they are sucking up in a ring? There is no thigh in the team at all, or perhaps everyone is the thigh?”

  “No, didn’t the team members tell you the truth? The biggest thigh in the team is the coaches!”

  “Pan Ying said that all the tactical strategies and possible situations in the competition have been arranged in advance by the coach. Is this true? Is it that abnormal?”

  “Holy sh*t, I’m convinced by Old Zhou’s interview! Getting the IOI global finals champion was just a small interlude in his teaching career?”

  “Perhaps Old Zhou thinks that teaching DGE is more important.
After all, he did not play IOI before. He came over to teach for more than a month and brought FV Team to the world championship. He probably doesn’t find it challenging!”

  “Indeed, I think Old Zhou’s next goal should be to train the members of DGE well. He should strive to send more new players with potential to the various clubs. He should strive to train more players to win more GPL championships!”

  “Old Zhou said that there is a special data analysis team and tactical team analyzing IOI’s game version and moving mature tactics over. Isn’t the so-called ‘mature tactics’ the tactics in GOG? For example, forced demolition. This is obviously the tactics that used to be popular in GOG!”

  “That’s true. Moreover, the last round’s adopted father seemed to be an unpopular tactic in GOG. It was not very useful in the IOI competition at first, but the last hit rule was modified. That’s why it was so effective!”

  “This interview is too short. There’s no meaning to it. There are still many key questions that they haven’t asked?”

  “I don’t think he dares to probe any further. If he continues asking, Old Zhou would say that he had been playing GOG all along and had only been researching IOI for a month. Would he still be able to watch such a scene? That would become a live-stream accident!”

  “I hope the local media can interview the FV team. I feel that their month in Los Angeles was quite mysterious. They changed for no reason. I didn’t expect them to be in the same team as the FV team that only managed to obtain the first seed in the domestic qualifiers!”

  “In short, let’s look forward to the championship team coming back victorious! I can’t wait to see them live-stream!”

  Public opinion in the country was filled with optimism after FV Team won IOI’s global finals.

  From the defeat of the other two teams in the group stages at the beginning, to the surprise of FV Team turning the tide in the top eight, and then to winning the championship in such a dominating manner in the finals, the entire IOI global finals could be said to be a huge show that made the audience feel satisfied.’

  Even many GOG players who did not have a competition to watch because GPL competition was not open were very happy. They were sincerely happy for FV Team.

  This was Boss Pei’s team after all. Coach Old Zhou was a member of DGE. Naturally, he made people feel close to him.

  A post appeared on the forum amidst this joyous atmosphere. It quickly caused a heated discussion.

  The title of the post was: “What kind of magic does Boss Pei have to remould FV Team from a bottom-tier team to the world champion?”

  Chapter 856 - Perfect Time Arrangement!

  “FV Team won the championship easily with three 3: 0s, IOI’s global finals finally came to a perfect end. FV Team’s stunning performance in Los Angeles undoubtedly left a deep mark in our country’s e-sports history for domestic players, and also left us a beautiful memory that we can remember for life.”

  “Who would have thought that this would happen a few months ago where an unknown team would have absolute dominance if this had not happened? The five main players of the team were also wandering around, with no fixed residence.”

  “When the correct five people walk together, they would explode with energy that would shock the world. However, what I want to emphasize is who was the one who made the correct five people walk together? Who formed FV Ultimate Fantasy’s coach team for them?”

  “Actually, if we look back at the group photo of FV Team when they set off for Los Angeles, we would be surprised to find that many of them look ordinary, but they actually have a huge background!”

  “Next, I’ll reveal the identities of the members of this Dream Team to everyone!”

  “When I first saw this picture, I felt the same as most people. I felt that it was making a mountain out of a molehill. The other two clubs added together did not have as many people as FV Club. Would they need to make it so grand to go out and compete?”

  “However, after asking around for the identities of the people in this photo, I realized how powerful this Dream Team was!”

  “First, there are five starting members of FV Team and Coach Old Zhou. Everyone knows them, it’s needless to say. Next to them are FV’s boss Wu Yue and Manager Lu, and next to them is FV’s second team. They are adding strength to the original three members. Then there are the main members of SUG and Boss Ding Gan…”

  “Previously, many people revealed that FV Team did not have any mock competition. The other teams did not want to deal with them, but in fact, Team Two and SUG had been training with them!”

  “Of course, that’s not the main point. The main point is that these people that no one knows about are the core members of the FV Dream Coach team!”

  “This is Min Jingchao. He is GOG’s current chief designer. He is in charge of all the figures and balance designs. This is Ye Zhizhou. He is the chief designer of Shang Yang Games. Do you remember that IOI’s local server was once managed by Shang Yang Games? He was the person-in-charge back then.”

  “There’s also this man who looks a little dark and skinny with an unconvinced expression. His background is even bigger. He’s the famous ‘Traveler Bao Xu’ of Tengda, a veteran of Tengda who has been second place for many outstanding employees awards! It’s said that he’s behind the outstanding games in Tengda. What’s more, he’s not only good at designing games, but he’s also good at playing games. He’s an elite gamer in many games!”

  “In other words, FV Team’s tactical team does not only include their original coach and analyst, but also GOG’s designer and GOG’s original Master Tactician! It’s no wonder that they could so naturally use the tactics in GOG in IOI’s competition!”

  This post caused a heated discussion immediately.

  In fact, this photo had been posted on FV Team’s official Weibo for a long time. However, at that time, everyone’s focus was on the number of people, and they did not delve into the identity of these people.

  Now that someone had exposed it, everyone realized that GOG’s chief designer had personally gone to Los Angeles to do data analysis for FV Team?

  What the heck!

  The chief designer of GOG and the former core member of DGE, Old Zhou, could be said to have the best understanding of GOG’s game. One provided data support in the game, and the other formulated strategies based on the team’s actual situation. If the two of them worked together, they would definitely be able to master control everything.

  The most important thing was that they were not fighting alone. The coaches and analysts of so many GPL teams were constantly digging deeper into tactics. Old Zhou had a huge resource warehouse that could be used as he pleased; Min Jingchao could also get the other designers of GOG to analyze the game data.

  From the looks of it now, FV’s logistics team had basically brought all of the GOG Development Team and GPL’s reserve tactics over. This was not an expedition at all. It was the headquarters riding the face!

  Wasn’t it obvious who sent these people?

  Wu Yue might be the boss of FV Club, but how could he hire people like GOG’s designer and DGE’s coach for tactical analysis?

  Obviously, this would only be possible if Boss Pei was involved!

  “It looks like Boss Pei is responsible for winning the championship!”

  “Boss Pei is really worried about our country’s E-Sports career. First, he organized the GPL, invested capital, and created a good environment for domestic e-sports development. Then, he personally sent his chief designer to do tactical analysis to help the domestic team win the IOI global finals!”

  “Now that I think about it, FV would not have been able to win the championship without Boss Pei’s support. In fact, these few rounds of competition were all crushing tactically. There was no obvious difference between individual strength of the team members and the opponents… The consequences of IOI’s global finals would be unimaginable if not for Boss Pei!”

  “Thank you, Boss Pei!”
/>
  “Boss Pei, the savior of domestic e-sports!”

  …

  At the same time, Pei Qian, who had just finished watching the competition, was browsing the forum. He fell into a daze when he saw the post.

  FV Team crushed the championship with a 3: 0. That was already a heavy blow to him.

  On the other hand, this post added another heavy last hit to the foundation!

  “What do you mean? It’s all my fault that FV Team won the championship?”

  “Outrageous!”

  “Min Jingchao, Ye Zhizhou, Bao Xu… I asked you to go on a holiday! Wu Yue can’t command you, so why are you so proactive and spend so much effort to do tactical analysis for FV!”

  “Damn it!”

  Pei Qian put down his cell phone, too angry to speak.

  FV Team won IOI’s global finals. There was a huge problem!

  This time, IOI’s global finals had a lot of bonus and skins. Three million US dollars in addition to 25% of skin sales revenue made up the prize pool. The champion would get 50%, and the club would get another 20% after deducting taxes. This sum might not be much but it was very upsetting!

  That was not the most important thing. The most important thing was the brand value of FV Club!

  As the champion team of IOI’s global finals, how many fans would they attract after the competition? How many sponsors would come to them? How much would the club’s shares increase?

  The team members had also attracted a lot of fans. If the live-stream platform signed a contract with them at a high price, the club would also get a commission according to the rules. That was another sum of money…
