"With the FV team easily winning the championship with three 3:0 victories, this year's IOI World Finals have finally come to a successful conclusion. For domestic players, FV's stunning performance in Los Angeles has undoubtedly left a glorious mark on our country's e-sports history, and has also left us with wonderful memories that we can cherish for a lifetime."

"If this scene hadn't actually happened, who would have thought that such a dominant team was virtually unknown just a few months ago? The team's five main players were even more like drifters, with no fixed abode."

"When the right five people come together, they can unleash energy that amazes the world. But what I want to emphasize even more is, who brought these right five people together? Who assembled FV's ultimate dream coaching team?"

"In fact, looking back at the group photo of the FV team when they set off for Los Angeles, you will be surprised to find that there are actually many people in it who seem unremarkable, but are actually very impressive!"

"Next, let me take you to reveal the identities of all the members of this dream team!"

"When I first saw this picture, I felt a little exaggerated, just like most people. The other two clubs combined don't have as many people as FV alone. Do they need such a big show to go out and play a game?"

"But after inquiring about the identities of the people in this photo from various sources, I realized what a powerful dream team this is!"

"First of all, the five starting players of the FV team and coach Lao Zhou, needless to say, everyone knows them. Then standing next to them are Wu Yue, the boss of FV, and Manager Lu. Next to them is FV's second team, which was strengthened on the basis of the original three players. Then there are all the main players of SUG and boss Ding Gan..."

"Many people previously revealed that the FV team had no training matches to play because other teams wouldn't scrimmage with them, but in fact, the second team and the SUG team have been practicing with them all along!"

"Of course, this is not the main point. The main point is these people that everyone doesn't recognize. They are the core figures of FV's dream coaching team!"

"This is Min Jingchao. He is the current main designer of GOG. All the values and balance designs are his responsibility. This is Ye Zhizhou. He is the main designer of Shangyang Games. Does everyone remember that IOI's national server was once represented by Shangyang Games? He was the person in charge at that time."

"And this guy who looks a little dark and skinny, with an expression of dissatisfaction, has an even bigger background. He is Tengda's famous 'Traveler Bao Xu', a veteran member of Tengda who has repeatedly won second place in the outstanding employee award! It is said that his figure can be seen in several excellent games of Tengda. Moreover, he is not only good at designing games, but also at playing them. He is a hardcore player in many games!"

"In other words, the FV team's tactical team not only includes their original coach and analysts, but also the designers of GOG, and the original tactical master of GOG! No wonder they were able to naturally use the tactics from GOG in the IOI competition!"

This post immediately sparked heated discussions after it was posted.

In fact, this group photo had already been posted on FV's official Weibo a long time ago, but at that time, everyone's focus was on the number of people, and they didn't delve into the specific identities of these people at all.

Now that someone has revealed it, everyone realizes that the main designer of GOG personally went to Los Angeles to do data analysis for the FV team?

This is incredible!

The main designer of GOG, plus Lao Zhou, the former core member of DGE, these two people's understanding of the game GOG can be said to be the best. One provides in-game data support, and the other formulates tactics based on the actual situation of the team. When these two people are combined, they are definitely in control.

And the most critical thing is that they are not fighting alone. The coaches and analysts of so many teams in GPL are constantly digging deep into tactics. Lao Zhou is equivalent to having a huge resource library that he can use at will; and Min Jingchao can also let other designers of GOG help analyze game data.

Now it seems that FV's support team has simply brought all the reserve tactics of the GOG development team and GPL over. This is not an expedition, it's the main camp riding on their faces!

As for who sent these people, does it even need to be said?

Although Wu Yue is the boss of the FV club, how could he possibly be able to invite figures like the GOG designer and the DGE coach to do tactical analysis for FV?

Obviously, Boss Pei had to take action for this to be possible!

"It seems that this championship still has to be attributed to Boss Pei!"

"Boss Pei has really broken his heart for the e-sports cause in our country. First, he organized GPL and introduced various capitals to create a good environment for the development of domestic e-sports; then, he personally sent his main designer to do tactical analysis to help the domestic team win the IOI World Finals championship!"

"Thinking about it now, without Boss Pei's support, FV probably wouldn't have been able to win this championship. In fact, these few games, to put it bluntly, were all tactical crushes. The individual strength of the players was not significantly different from the opponent. Without Boss Pei... the consequences of this IOI World Finals would have been unimaginable!"

"Thank you, Boss Pei!"

"Boss Pei, the savior of domestic e-sports!"

…

At the same time, Pei Qian, who had just finished watching the game, was browsing the forum and saw this post, and his whole person fell into a state of stagnation.

The FV team's 3:0 crushing victory had already given him a heavy blow.

And this post was an even heavier blow on this basis!

"What does this mean? FV team can win the championship, it's all my fault?"

"Outrageous!"

"Min Jingchao, Ye Zhizhou, Bao Xu... I sent you guys to go on vacation! Wu Yue can't command you, why are you so active and put so much effort into doing tactical analysis for FV!"

"Damn it!"

Pei Qian put down his phone, so angry that he couldn't speak.

The FV team won the IOI World Finals championship, a big problem!

This IOI World Finals has a lot of prize money and skin revenue sharing. The prize pool is composed of 3 million dollars plus 25% of skin sales revenue. The champion gets 50% exclusively, and the club has to get 20% after deducting taxes. This amount of money is not much, but it is very annoying!

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the brand value of the FV club!

As the champion team of the IOI World Finals, how many fans will this competition attract? How many sponsorships will come to them? To what extent will the club's shares rise?

The players have also gained a lot of fans. If the live broadcast platform signs them at a high price, the club will also have to take a cut according to the regulations, which is another sum of money...

Pei Qian couldn't help but feel despair.

If the FV team had only won the runner-up, there wouldn't be so many things. After all, the second place and the first place are worlds apart.

But all this has already happened, and it's too late to save it!

Pei Qian was feeling melancholy when his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was actually a call from Wu Yue from Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean.

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly, and he reluctantly answered it.

No need to guess, he must be reporting the good news to himself!

Wu Yue's excited voice quickly came from the other end of the phone: "Boss Pei! Did you watch the game? We won!"

Pei Qian praised very reluctantly: "Well, you played well."

Wu Yue, who was praised by Boss Pei, became even more energetic: "It has to be said that your logistical support, Boss Pei, is too good! Whether it's food, accommodation, or hotels, they are all of the highest standard, as well as the bodyguards, tour guides, and nutritionists who accompany the team. The players have absolutely no worries, so of course they can prepare for the game wholeheartedly!"

"And the coaching team is also very critical. Director Min, Director Ye, and Director Bao are all doing their best and are conscientious. The data of each hero is analyzed in too much detail!"

"In short, without your planning, Boss Pei, we would never have been able to win this championship!"

Pei Qian felt a little melancholy and casually asked: "How much bonus can the club get this time?"

Wu Yue answered truthfully: "I just asked the official staff of Finger Companies. It seems that so far, the skin revenue included in the prize pool is about 1.8 million dollars. Adding the original 3 million dollars, the champion gets half exclusively, and the club gets 20% after deducting taxes..."

"It's about 400,000 dollars, which is about 3 million!

"But the process of issuing bonuses abroad is more complicated, and it may take some time before we actually get it."

"But don't worry, Boss Pei, although this money is not enough to support the various expenses of our group in Los Angeles for food and accommodation. After all, we spent 4 million, but sponsors have already come to us to discuss cooperation! As long as we take a few advertisements in the name of the club, we can definitely earn this money back!"

"Boss Pei, thank you for your trust in us. This 4 million was not spent in vain. Whether it's the first-class cabin or the accommodation money, it will all be earned back after winning the championship! And from a long-term perspective, we've made a lot of money!"

Pei Qian was speechless for a moment.

What a load of "we've made a lot of money"!

It's obvious that all my money has been spent in vain!

I thought that sending the FV team and his entourage to Los Angeles to eat, drink, and have fun would easily cost 4 million, but now I realized that not only did the 4 million not get spent, but we also earned a sum of cash and attached a world-renowned club!

What is this called?

A blood loss!

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the angrier he became. He thought about it, and he couldn't just let it go.

"What time is your flight back to China?"

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment: "Oh, Boss Pei, it's the flight tomorrow afternoon Los Angeles time. Tomorrow morning, the players plan to take a stroll in Los Angeles and buy some things to take back to China. After all, it's not easy to come to the U.S., and we've been training all the time and haven't had time to go shopping."

Pei Qian said: "That's true, it's not easy to go abroad, so you must have a good time! How about this, you stay there for another week, renew the hotel accommodation, and take the players to have a good time for a few days. Besides, the places to play don't have to be limited to Los Angeles. You can visit other cities more, and the club will reimburse you!"

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Boss Pei, is this not very good? The New Year is coming soon. Some players don't care, but some players have been abroad for so long and still want to go back for the New Year..."

Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Well... that makes sense too."

"The Spring Festival is our country's traditional festival, so we still have to reunite with our families."

"Then how about this, you go back to China first, and after the Spring Festival holiday, the original team will fly to the U.S. again to make up for this week's vacation!"

…

On the other side, Wu Yue declined slightly, and when he saw that Boss Pei's attitude was firm, he simply agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yue couldn't help but sigh.

Boss Pei is so generous! It's really hard to express my admiration for Boss Pei!

Besides Boss Pei, are there any other reliable bosses in this world?

Probably not.

After the game, the players first returned to the hotel, and then the entire team came out to eat and celebrate together.

Everyone was very happy. After all, in the past month or so in Los Angeles, everyone had been working hard to prepare for this competition and had done their part.

Bao Xu and Min Jingchao were also chatting while eating, and their faces were full of joyful smiles.

For Bao Xu, this month or so was actually not bad.

Although it was a trip abroad, this was the easiest trip compared to the previous trips. He didn't have to travel long distances to catch up with various attractions, but he kept running back and forth between the hotel and the internet cafe.

Therefore, Bao Xu had a relatively comfortable time.

But no matter how comfortable it was, it was not his home after all. Bao Xu couldn't wait to go home and stay there.

Just then, Wu Yue stood up.

"I have good news for everyone! Boss Pei was very happy after learning that we won the championship and allowed us to return to the U.S. another day for a seven-day tour!"

"I have already set the time for next month. You don't have to worry about not having time to play. We will be back soon. This time, we will definitely let everyone have enough fun and visit all the popular cities and attractions in the U.S.!"

"Boss Pei said, everyone has a share, no one is allowed not to come!"

As soon as Wu Yue finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but applaud and cheer!

Before, the players had been training hard. Every day, they either rested and ate or played training matches. Although they had been in the U.S. for more than a month, they basically didn't play anything.

Now that they heard that they could come for another seven-day public-funded tour, they were of course overjoyed!

However, Bao Xu, who heard this, was stunned, and the fork in his hand, with a piece of steak on it, froze in the air.

Boss Pei said... no one is allowed not to come?

Doesn't that mean that I'm going to be out again as soon as I get back to China!

This news was like a bolt from the blue, completely stunning Bao Xu.

Min Jingchao, who was sitting next to him, said in a low voice: "Next month? That's good, Brother Bao, the timing should be just right."

Bao Xu was a little confused: "What's just right?"

Min Jingchao said with a smile: "The annual meeting's grand prize trip is just right!"

"Oh, that's right, Brother Bao, you don't know, do you?"

"This year's annual meeting, you won a five-day tour of any city again! We didn't tell you right away because we were afraid of affecting your mentality. Now that the game is over, we can tell you."

"Just right, Brother Bao, after the New Year, you can use this five-day tour first, and after the five-day tour, you can seamlessly connect and come to the U.S. with us."

"Isn't this schedule perfect?"

Bao Xu's mouth was slightly open, and his whole body was frozen in place. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
