Fans all over the world were watching FV Team's award ceremony in the live-stream and on the forum.
It might be late at night in China, but there were still many viewers waiting in the live-stream to witness this scene.
Many fans, especially domestic fans and IOI players, could not hold it in after hearing Pan Ying's last words.
"Holy sh * t, Captain Pan, don't say that. How depressing. You just won the world championship! I still want to see you win three consecutive championships next year! "
"What three consecutive championships? I hope that FV Team can represent the ICL league to win every year in the future!"
"That's true. There's no need to say such depressing words on the joyous day of winning the championship. Why is it 'fighting to the last moment'?"
"Sigh, everyone, don't deceive yourselves. Don't you understand IOI's current state? FV Team is the last glory of IOI's domestic server. If FV Team really can't do it one day, there's no need to watch this international competition. The other ICL teams would probably find it difficult to even charge out of the group stages. "
"The key is that Finger Games will definitely continue to target FV Team next year. They definitely don't want to see the same team win three consecutive championships. This might be good news for the other competition zones, but for ICL … hehe. "
"There's no other way. There's no one in IOI's domestic server! There's no new blood at all. The ICL league has been established for almost a year, but all the teams are still played by the old people. All the clubs are working hard to find new people, but where can they find them? The high ranking passers-by are too disconnected. "
"The treatment over at GOG is better. All the capable newbies have gone to play GOG. Why would they come to play a professional league with no future like IOI?"
"To put it bluntly, IOI as a whole can't do it anymore. Not to mention domestically, even overseas is being rubbed against by GOG."
"Sigh, there's one less exciting competition every day. Everyone, watch and cherish it."
The posts on the forum all felt dejected.
FV Team might have won the championship this time, but everyone could tell that it was very difficult for them to win this time. It could be said that they had stumbled.
The championship this time was indeed a result of hard work and strength, but there was also some luck.
What if their opponent, CEM Team, handled some details better? What if their hard strength was stronger?
Would that change the outcome of the competition?
After all, from the looks of it, both sides were very anxious.
If Finger Games continued to weaken FV Team next year, it would be defeated by foreign teams sooner or later. The only question was which team would defeat it.
This made it hard for the domestic fans to accept.
That was because the members of FV Team were still very hardworking and still had the strength. However, being targeted by the version in MOBA games was really unsolvable.
FV Team had successfully won this time with their past foundation, team members' hard work, and tactical adjustments. However, what about next time?
In other words, the moment they won the championship, everyone, including the players and the audience, knew that FV Team would not be able to win the championship next year.
Those who still thought that they could win the championship were either overestimating the limits of their team members or overestimating the limits of Finger Games.
Almost all IOI players in the country were fans of FV Team. After all, there were no other teams in the entire competition zone other than FV Team.
Thus, even though it was a good thing that FV Team won the championship and IOI's local server had already released various championship activities to celebrate, this happiness was still incomplete for players. It was always mixed with deep worry.
However, at that moment, someone posted a new post.
"I don't think everyone should be too sad. This is the best outcome I can think of at the moment."
"Finger Games did not like FV Team to begin with. Everyone knows about this. Everyone won't forget that Finger Games secretly found a data analyst to give FRY Team special treatment before the finals last year, right?"
"However, the version had already been decided at that time. FV Team had completely understood the version. Thus, even though Finger Games had embarrassed themselves, it did not change the fate of FRY Team being swept away in the end."
"It's different this year. Finger Games released a new version a long time before the international competition. They specifically targeted FV Team and cut down all the heroes they were good at. To be honest, I think no team in the world can do what FV Team did when faced with the game developers."
"If FV Team loses, I think Finger Games can be nailed to the pillar of shame. I've never seen any company that can be the organizer of a competition with such a crooked butt and so many disgraceful methods."
"The current situation is actually just right. FV Team has proven through their own hard work and hard strength that they can still win the championship even if they are targeted by the organizers!"
"This can be considered a perfect ending."
"I suggest that everyone doesn't watch next year's IOI competition. Since Finger Games wants the European and American teams to win the championship, let them do it. We won't play with them anymore."
"Now, people like us who are still playing IOI's local server are more or less brain-dead. GOG's benefits are better, the gameplay is richer, and the number of players is even more crushing. IOI can only start a game after five minutes, and the other party can enter in seconds. IOI, ask yourself, how can you compare to GOG? What right do you have to keep these players? "
"Everyone is just used to playing IOI. They are still persevering even when they see their friends moving to GOG."
"Everyone was very excited when FV won the championship last year. This was glory for our local server players after all. It also made us feel that we were not lonely. These five veterans were still persevering in IOI after all and even won the championship."
"But now? They are slowly passing their peak. Finger Games is targeting them by hook or by crook. Just like IOI's local server, they are always the last group to be considered in various activities. "
"I really feel sorry for them, and also for all the players in IOI's local server."
"On the other hand, GOG really treats the local server players like their fathers. Be it players or professional players, they can only be grandsons in IOI!"
"That's why I've thought it through. It's been almost two years. The happiness and emotions I felt when I first saw IOI have basically been wiped out. I think it's not bad to end it with FV Team's two consecutive championships."
"I've decided to go to GOG. Many of my previous friends are waiting for me there. As for IOI, I'll buy another set when FV's new champion skin is released. However, I probably won't touch this game again in the future. "
"I also hope that FV Team won't play in the ICL league. Finger Games is not worthy."
"Since everyone in Finger Games hates FV Team so much, I hope that FV Team can just leave. They were originally Boss Pei's team anyway. It's not bad to add them to the GPL."
"I'll probably be beaten up by those perverted domestic teams in the GPL, but it doesn't matter. At least the other side is absolutely fair. I'll be convinced even if I lose. It's not like here, where I'll lose in vain and aggrieved."
"If a team's opponent is not other teams but the organizers of the competition, then this would be really boring."
"I understand the tragic feelings of FV Team living and dying together with the ICL league, but I still sincerely suggest that forget it. There's no need to forcefully tie themselves to such a league with no future and a game with no future."
"All in all, I want to say to the members of FV that you've worked hard. It's already very good. It's the only highlight of my long IOI gaming career that's worth remembering."
"No matter what you choose next, I will support you!"
This post was only posted by an ordinary player, but it resonated widely on the forum.
That was especially so for the players of IOI's domestic server. They could empathize with this player's words!
All sorts of unfair treatment they had encountered while playing IOI instantly surged into their hearts.
It could be said that FV Team carried the hopes of IOI's domestic server players. At the same time, it could also be seen as a microcosm of IOI's domestic server players.
FV Team had always been targeted, but when had the domestic server players ever been valued?
GOG had always considered the domestic server players first. There were more and more players, the game functions were becoming more and more perfect, and the popularity online was also increasing.
On the other hand, IOI had obviously fallen into a vicious cycle. The more players there were, the less they valued them, and the more they valued them, the more they would lose.
Watching FV Team win two consecutive championships was one of the reasons why many viewers were still persevering.
Now that they had already won two consecutive championships, it was almost impossible for them to win three consecutive championships. Many viewers asked themselves, why should they continue to stay in IOI and cause trouble for themselves?
What's more, just as this audience said, FV Team was already being targeted like this. Why should they continue to suffer on IOI's side?
Instead of being targeted by Finger Games and having their heroes in their twilight years, being stepped on by other teams in next year's international competition, and being mocked by some viewers with ulterior motives, FV Team might as well not fight.
The entire team should just transfer to GPL!
They would start from scratch there. No one would blame them no matter whether they won or lost. What's more, at least it was an absolutely fair competition environment.
Finger Games still wants to continue targeting FV Team next year? Do you have to share the popularity of FV Team with other foreign teams and let them step on FV's corpse to become gods?
I'm sorry, I'm not going to play with you anymore!
