In the end, Ding Gan could not muster the courage to talk to Boss Pei.
He was the meat on the chopping block. What else was there to say?
Ding Gan had already interacted with Boss Pei regarding the GPL quota previously. He understood Boss Pei's personality very well.
Boss Pei was a strategist. He would not make a move unless he was 100% confident. At the same time, Boss Pei was also a cold and heartless person. He would never change his mind once he made up his mind.
Now that Boss Pei was personally at the IOI qualifiers, it meant that he was confident of winning. What's more, he had already made up his mind. He would not change his mind because of anyone's begging.
Ding Gan knew that it was useless to say anything else now. Whether SUG Club could qualify tomorrow would depend on the players themselves.
At that thought, Ding Gan turned around and quickly left the venue to head backstage.
He did not want Boss Pei to see him, nor did he want to inform Zhao Xuming.
Zhao Xuming could not help at all now, and he did not care about SUG Club at all. In any case, there were three teams that had qualified. Zhao Xuming did not care whether FV or SUG would qualify.
Since that was the case, everyone should just sweep the snow in front of them!
Ding Gan only wanted to quickly do some ideological work for his team members. He wanted them to stabilize their mentality and fight their way out of the elimination rounds tomorrow to obtain a spot in the international competition.
Pei Qian did not notice Ding Gan, who was sitting not far away from him. He was still immersed in the grief of FV successfully entering the elimination rounds.
After sitting silently in his seat for a long time, Pei Qian stood up and planned to go to the backstage of the venue to take a look at FV Club's situation.
They were originally a bottom-feeder team. How did they become an all-star team?
Pei Qian would not be able to sleep well today if he did not figure this out.
This venue was only a recording studio in a shopping mall, so the venue was not very big or formal. Pei Qian circled around twice before he found the backstage of the players.
Some fans were gathered outside the backstage, waiting to see the players they liked. Since the competition had ended for some time, the official staff were already busy with other matters. Only the team leaders and managers of the club were stopping the enthusiastic fans outside to prevent them from affecting the players.
Pei Qian saw FV Club's room. It was rather shabby as well. There was only a piece of paper on the door that said 'FV Club lounge'.
Manager Lu stood at the door and made a phone call. He seemed to be contacting the driver in charge of picking them up. The sounds of FV Club members arguing could be vaguely heard from the room. They should be discussing today's competition.
Pei Qian stepped forward.
"I'm sorry, the contestants are still reviewing the match and don't have time to sign autographs and take pictures … Eh? You are … "
Manager Lu had only met Pei Qian once, and Pei Qian was wearing a mask so he did not recognize him immediately.
Pei Qian pulled his mask down slightly. "It's me."
Manager Lu was very surprised. He quickly said, "Boss Pei? Why are you here? Please come in. "
Although he did not know why Boss Pei was here, it was definitely not a small matter for Boss Pei to make a special trip here.
Pei Qian followed Manager Lu into the lounge and immediately heard the team members discussing tactics intensely.
"We can't play this way. It's still too restrictive. It's still alright to abuse the noobs in the last two rounds today. However, the first round with SUG was full of danger. We almost got overturned!"
"That's right. We'll be playing the elimination round tomorrow. The intensity of the competition will definitely be much higher than the group stages. It's still a little risky for us to play like this. There's a high chance that we'll fail."
"Why don't we return to our usual playstyle? We'll slowly adapt to GOG's playstyle after we qualify for the international competition."
"I think so too. We'll qualify for the international competition first. Otherwise, everything will be in vain."
The team members each had their own opinions and were arguing intensely.
Manager Lu looked a little awkward as he said in a low voice, "Boss Pei, don't mind them. The players don't have any conflicts. They're just discussing tactics in the game."
He was afraid that the scene in the lounge would leave a bad impression on Boss Pei.
Boss Pei might have said that he would not interfere with the operations of FV Club when he invested, but it was one thing for Boss Pei not to interfere. It was another matter if Wu Yue and Manager Lu did not care about Boss Pei's opinion.
Wu Yue and Manager Lu were very concerned about Boss Pei's opinion from all aspects.
In terms of money and resources, Boss Pei had given them both money and players. The current All-Star team was basically pulled up by Boss Pei;
In terms of decision-making, Boss Pei had started the GPL league and was also the producer of GOG. His understanding of the game content and the E-Sports industry was much higher than Wu Yue and Manager Lu's.
Thus, even if Boss Pei said that he would not interfere with FV Club's operations, Wu Yue and Manager Lu would still think of ways to guess Boss Pei's intentions and try their best to operate the club in a way that Boss Pei was satisfied with.
Pei Qian was not angry when he heard his team members arguing intensely. Instead, he was very happy.
Why are you throwing such a big tantrum after winning the competition?
This meant that there were conflicts and hidden dangers in the team!
That was a good thing!
There was still a chance of being eliminated as long as they performed poorly tomorrow!
Pei Qian became optimistic again at that thought. The corners of his mouth curled up under his mask.
Wu Yue was also in the lounge, looking a little worried.
Pan Ying was the support player of this team and also the captain of this team.
He was in charge of the tactical arrangements and playstyle commands of the entire team. At the beginning, he was the one who suggested that they play according to GOG's methods, including switching operations, lineup selection, tactical details, and so on. They were all moving closer to GOG.
At first, the other players did not have any objections to this. However, after today's competition, there were some differences in the team's opinions.
That was because today's competition was indeed more difficult.
Pan Ying's playstyle might be unique and had a good effect, but there was still a huge difference between GOG and IOI in terms of heroes and gameplay. What's more, this playstyle required a long time of practice and running-in. It was not something that could be mastered overnight.
Thus, the top and middle players wanted to play it safe. They would first focus on their individual strength and obtain the qualifications for the international competition before slowly training.
However, Pan Ying felt that this was a good opportunity to use the competition as a substitute for training. The intensity of the mock competition was completely incomparable to the intensity of the elimination competition. If they retreated every time they encountered difficulties, they would still not be able to practice this playstyle when they reached the international competition.
What's more, the current tactical arrangements had already been made. If they rashly changed their playstyle to fight with individual abilities, it might not have a good effect.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and neither could convince the other. Wu Yue could not reach a consensus either and could only be anxious.
At that moment, he saw Manager Lu leading Boss Pei into the lounge.
Wu Yue's eyes lit up as he quickly stood up. "Boss Pei! Why are you here?! "
Pei Qian had already taken off his mask. He felt a little stuffy after covering it for the entire afternoon. "It's nothing, I just came over to take a look."
Wu Yue nodded, feeling deep respect.
Boss Pei might have said that he was' just here to take a look ', but Wu Yue knew very well that Boss Pei must have specially come to watch the competition!
Boss Pei had so many things to deal with every day and was so busy with work. Today happened to be the start of the GPL competition, but Boss Pei did not even go to watch the opening ceremony of the GPL. Instead, he came to watch FV's competition. That was enough to show how much importance Boss Pei placed on FV Club!
On the other hand, Boss Pei only said that he was' just here to take a look 'in order not to put too much pressure on the team members.
The team members stood up and stopped arguing when they saw Boss Pei.
Wu Yue quickly said, "In my opinion, everyone, stop arguing. We won't be able to come to a conclusion if we continue arguing like this."
"Whether it's focusing on individual abilities or GOG's tactical playstyle, they all have their advantages and disadvantages. No one can guarantee that they will win using either playstyle."
"Since no one can convince anyone, the most important thing now is to hurry up and make a decision. No matter which method we choose, we have to hurry up and come up with a strategy when we get back. We can't waste any more time on such meaningless arguments. "
"In my opinion, let Boss Pei make the decision! Everyone should be convinced that way, right? "
The team members looked at each other and nodded.
Boss Pei was the designer of GOG and the organizer of the GPL league. He must have a very good understanding of games and competitions!
Everyone would be able to accept Boss Pei's decision no matter what the final outcome was.
Even if they lost, it would not be Boss Pei's problem. It would be everyone who did not play well.
Wu Yue looked at Pei Qian. "Boss Pei, you should have seen the competition in the afternoon. Can you give us an idea? The team members will definitely listen to you. "
Pei Qian could not help but feel delighted. How could there be such a good thing?
You're the one who asked me to make the decision. I didn't take the initiative to trick you.
Pei Qian had already noticed that the players of FV Club were very strong individually when he watched the competition in the afternoon. Their teamwork was not bad, but their understanding of the version and tactical execution were obviously different from other teams.
From the selection of people to the specific tactical execution and resource exchange, they were all out of place from the other teams.
Simply put, they were playing more like they were playing GOG, which limited their individual abilities to a certain extent.
SUG Club would probably lose without any suspense if they were to compete purely in terms of strength.
The commentators could see this, and so could the members of FV Club.
Pei Qian felt that this was extremely normal. GOG and IOI were two different games. The game mechanism was so different. If you insisted on playing IOI according to GOG's playstyle, it would be like practicing martial arts in reverse. Even if you could make something out of it, you would have to train hard for a long time. What's more, you would never be able to defeat the top experts.
Everyone knew that 'best-of-ones' and 'best-of-five' were two completely different games.
There was a question mark on whether FV Club's playstyle would still be effective after the intensity of tomorrow's elimination competition increased.
At that thought, Pei Qian said seriously, "Just stick to your current playstyle. There won't be any problems! You can't give up no matter how difficult the competition is! "
At that moment, Pei Qian was like a movie king. His expression was extremely serious.
The support player, Pan Ying, was very touched. He said, "Thank you, Boss Pei, for your trust! I will definitely perfect this tactic and strive to achieve a better result tomorrow! "
At first, he had been a little shaken by his own playstyle. However, since Boss Pei had personally verified that there was no problem with this playstyle, there would definitely be no problem!
If they lost the competition, it would be because the players could not play well and cooperate well. It would definitely not be Boss Pei's problem.
The other players looked at each other and did not say anything else.
Boss Pei had already made the decision. What was there to be conflicted about? They just had to carry out the tactics seriously and complete their mission.
There was nothing to argue about since they had a unified opinion. Everyone just had to listen to Pan Ying's instructions.
Wu Yue could not help but click his tongue in wonder.
Was this Boss Pei's magic?
With one sentence, all the players were convinced!
Wu Yue might be the boss of the club and could subdue these players, but forcefully subduing them did not mean that they would really be willing to listen.
That was because even though Wu Yue was the boss, his understanding of the game was still lacking. Even if he decided to use a certain playstyle, the players would still subconsciously think about whether another playstyle would be better after encountering a problem.
On the other hand, Boss Pei was not only the boss but also had a deep understanding of the game. If he said that there was no problem, there would definitely be no problem.
Wu Yue could not help but feel emotional. Boss Pei was like the chosen one, giving people the feeling that he was omnipotent.
How could he not win by following such a big boss?
