Chapter 1364: Boss Pei Is In A Better Place

Jin Yong was very confused.

How did he fall into a dead end?

According to Chrétien, there were actually only four conditions for this finals: FV Team crushed CEM, CEM crushed FV, FV won with difficulty, and CEM won with difficulty.

Only if CEM crushed FV Team would it be acceptable for Finger Games.

Why?

Even if CEM did not win so decisively, they would still win if they won 3: 2. Wouldn’t they be able to snatch the popularity from FV Team even if they won the world championship?

Chrétien shook his head and explained, “The key is that the version changes in the international competition are too obvious for FV Team. This has indirectly added a lot of emotional points to FV Team.”

“Even if FV Team loses with 2: 3, not many people would recognize the value of CEM as the champion.”

“On the other hand, if FV Team wins 3: 2…”

Chrétien did not continue speaking because that was the last thing he wanted to see.

Jin Yong finally understood. His eyes widened slightly. “I see!”

If the finals this time were absolutely fair, then the winner would undoubtedly be the biggest winner.

However, the key was that Finger Games’ version of the international competition had dealt a heavy blow to the heroes that FV Team was good at. It had also greatly enhanced the heroes that European and American clubs were good at. This was equivalent to writing ‘I don’t want FV to win the championship’ on their faces.

When this version change was first announced, players had actually become excited about it. They thought that even though Finger Games’ actions were completely within the rules, it still seemed a little shameless.

If a games company adjusted the game’s balance not to make the competition look better but to lean towards certain teams, it would obviously be an unfair position as the organizer.

In fact, this was also the case in traditional sports. For example, ping pong ball kept changing the rules.

However, the changes to traditional sports were not so obvious. It was not like IOI, where everyone understood which heroes were strengthened.

There was some controversy but the international competition had not started yet. No one could tell how the plot would develop so there was not much opposition.

Many foreign clubs would not pretend to be innocent after benefitting. Since Finger Games had already made changes that were beneficial to them, they would accept it in peace and prepare for battle seriously. It was most practical to win the championship with fewer words.

However, that did not mean that the audience’s thoughts had completely disappeared. It was only temporarily hidden.

However, after the competition started, FV Team had been playing competitions all the way to remind the audience about this.

From the scare of the group stages to the stumbling in the elimination round, to the finals where they could compete with the CEM team that was best at strong heroes with the version lineup, FV team members had used a lot of practice to improve the proficiency of these heroes to the extent that they could go on the finals stage.

The audience would not be surprised that CEM Team took out their version of strong heroes because everyone knew that they played well to begin with.

However, the audience would be very surprised if FV Team took out the version of the strong heroes. That was because FV Team did not play these heroes in the first place. Everyone wanted to see how they performed after taking them out!

On the other hand, if it was a hero that they did not play well in the beginning but achieved results, it would be enough to let people see the hardships and efforts that FV Team had put in behind the scenes.

That was why Chrétien said that there was only one acceptable situation: CEM Team crushed FV Team.

The audience would not have much sympathy for the failures who had no resistance at all. If FV Team really suffered a crushing defeat, there would definitely be more people mocking them and adding insult to injury than people who understood them.

At that time, if the audience raised the issue of the version, they would only be mocked by others.

“Who can you blame if you don’t know how to create new heroes?”

However, FV Team had forcefully trained these heroes now. They might not have reached the proficiency of the ultimate warrior but they had relied on their good team cooperation and strong tactical execution to play the fifth round with CEM Team’s version of the favorite.

In that case, even if they lost the last round, FV Team would become a tragic hero, an innocent sacrifice in the battle between IOI and GOG, an ironclad proof that Finger Games had ‘changed its version and eliminated the championship’!

The value of the champion of CEM Team was naturally a question mark. There was a lot of controversy.

It would be even worse if FV Team won in the end!

It would even be worse than FV Team crushing CEM Team.

That was because if FV Team crushed them again and won the championship easily, it would prove that this team was strong. No matter how the version changed, it would not be affected. That way, Finger Games’ modification of the version would not seem so deliberate.

FV Team’s fans would not keep harping on the teams that had failed. They would just laugh it off.

However, now that both sides were playing 2: 2 with such similar strength, the global audience would definitely have many opinions on Finger Games’ version modification. No matter the outcome after the competition, it would probably be impossible to avoid arguing online.

Jin Yong thought about this matter from beginning to end and realized that Finger Games did not have a good solution.

FV Team, which Boss Pei had invested a lot of resources into, was like a nail that was nailed into the heart of Finger Games. There was no way to deal with it!

FV Team had gathered the best batch of players in the country to begin with. Then, they used strict training, generous conditions, and GOG’s professional data analysis team to train them. Their standards were unique compared to other teams in the country.

This team was so eye-catching in the declining environment of IOI domestic server.

If FV Team won, it would highlight Boss Pei and GOG’s strong strength in nurturing the team even more if the local server, IOI, was in a bad state.

If FV Team lost, they would only be considered alone. It was the problem with IOI’s domestic server being dispirited. At the end of the day, GOG was still impressive and had snatched IOI’s market.

On the other hand, Finger Games could not do much against FV winning the championship.

If the version did not change, continued, or if the changes were small, hoping that foreign teams would steadily beat FV Team through a year of natural development? That was actually not realistic. They would catch up at most, but they might not be able to surpass FV Team.

What’s more, the version could not remain the same. That was because gamers had to play new things.

After the version changes, it would definitely be weaker for FV Team. They would definitely hope that other teams would win the championship.

However, that would leave everyone the impression that Finger Games was the only seeded team for FV.

The anxiety of the finals especially strengthened this impression…

This seemed to be a dead end. He could not go through!

All the decisions that Finger Games had to make could not bypass FV Team, and it seemed understandable whether FV Team lost or won.

As long as FV Team maintained their original beliefs, did not self-explode, did not become arrogant, did not expose huge negative scandals, and did not experience a cliff-like decline in the strength of the players, then to Finger Games, this was a nail that could never be removed. It would always be in their heart, hurting faintly!

The atmosphere had reached its peak even though there was already a passionate war song at the venue. However, Jin Yong’s excitement had already dissipated.

He began to worry about the public opinion after the competition like Chrétien.

“Congratulations to FV Team. Everyone thought that they would lose the championship two consecutive times because of the changes in the version. However, they relied on their strong perseverance and perseverance to successfully adapt to the version. In the end, they won against CEM Team in five rounds and finally won IOI’s global finals!”

“Let us congratulate FV Team once again and give warm applause to CEM Team’s exciting performance!”

The commentator on stage was a professional commentator after all. He did not completely lean towards CEM Team like the upper echelons of Finger Games. Instead, he was objective and fair.

Perhaps the commentators were more or less moved by FV Team’s performance. After all, they understood the competition.

The fireworks and golden ribbons on the stage instantly spurted out. Accompanying the tsunami-like applause and cheers in the venue, the five members of FV Team hugged each other excitedly and stepped onto the podium!

The big shots of Dayak Corporation and Finger Games could only smile and present the prizes to them.

Perhaps some of them were still frustrated: Why was CEM Team so disappointing?

If he persevered a little more and made fewer mistakes, what if he won another round?

Wouldn’t he win?

However, it was useless to say anything now that things had come to this.

Jin Yong looked at the empty seat next to him. Chrétien had learned his lesson from the previous time. He slipped away in advance when he saw that the situation was not good. He did not witness the awkward scene of FV winning the championship.

What’s more, Chrétien’s stand was different from last year. Last year, he was the organizer. This year, he was just a calefare. There was no need for him to stay and create trouble for himself.

After the award ceremony, it was time for the interview.

The big shots of the organizers might be very reluctant but they still had to go through this necessary process.

Unlike the previous interview, FV team members’ interview this time was more touching.

After all, it sounded very difficult for professional players to use their bodies to fight against the version. In fact, it was even more difficult.

Compared to last year, when they had relied on their version advantages and tactics to win the championship, this year was obviously more touching.

Finally, the host came to FV Team’s captain, Pan Ying.

As the team’s support and commander, Pan Ying’s character of “interviewing the Black Hole” was quite likable. He could be considered an old acquaintance of the audience and the host.

After asking a few conventional questions, such as tactical understanding, team cooperation, and so on, the host suddenly had an idea and decided to improvise on the spot.

“During the championship interview last year, you said that the most important thing to thank is your boss, Boss Pei. That’s because he arranged for all of this. Who do you think you should thank this year?”

After some consideration, Pan Ying said, “I want to thank all the fans and players who support us this year, especially the players in the local server.”

“Don’t worry, FV Team will definitely fight with you to the last moment to protect the honor of the ICL league!”

For some reason, even though it was supposed to be a happy award ceremony, Pan Ying’s words had the tragic color of a hero in his twilight. It made people sigh..
