Chapter 856 How Exactly Did President Pei Transform the Bottom-Ranked Team?

Pan Ying thought for a moment, "It might be because the coaching staff had already explained the various tactical approaches in detail, and we had done a lot of targeted training, so everyone knew what to do. A few words from me, and everyone understood."

"So, I didn't really do any specific commanding work."

The host was surprised. "So, even the early resource trades, the bursts of kills, even whether or not to engage in team fights, were all arranged by the coaching staff in advance?"

Pan Ying nodded. "While it's impossible to plan every single team fight, we can judge whether or not to engage based on factors such as the economic difference between the two sides and the key equipment of the core heroes. The coaching staff explained all of this in advance."

After hearing the translation, the audience below the stage looked surprised.

Although what Pan Ying said was a bit far-fetched, he wasn't the first team member to say it this way.

All the members of the FV team, including the top, mid, bottom, and jungle players interviewed earlier, all said that their performance was inseparable from the coaching staff's arrangements. As long as they followed the plan laid out by the coaching staff, it was easy to win.

The host asked again, "Then, what do you think is most important to winning this championship? Is it teamwork? Or the trust between teammates?"

Pan Ying thought for a moment and said, "Thanks to the coaching staff for arranging our tactics, and also to our brother team SUG for practicing with us. I don't think there's a significant gap between our team's overall strength and teams like FRY. We were able to win entirely because we were well prepared."

"Of course, the most important thing is to thank our boss, Boss Pei, because everything ultimately comes down to his arrangements."

The host was a little surprised because all the team members had unanimously attributed the greatest credit to the coaching staff!

This was actually a relatively rare situation.

Because in this period, although e-sports clubs around the world all had the position of coach, the coach's status was far from being absolute.

In China, many team members were addicted teenagers and high-scoring passers-by. They looked down on the coach from the bottom of their hearts, thinking, "Your rank isn't as high as mine, so why should I listen to you? You analyze the routines eloquently, but you can't even handle high-level games. How can that be used in competitions?"

Therefore, in many clubs in China, the coaches have all been reduced to ordering takeout. The tactics they research are more of a suggestion, and star players have a very strong say.

In Europe and America, the current situation is actually not much different, not much better than in China.

Unless it is a retired senior team member who switches careers to become a coach, their say will be higher, otherwise other coaches are basically useless.

A situation where a team like FV completely listens to the coaching team, and the coaching team can completely deduce the situation on the field and make arrangements in advance, had never been heard of before.

Finally, the host came to coach Zhou Pengyuan.

"Coach Zhou, the team members have all attributed the credit for winning the championship to the coaching team. So, how did you and the FV coaching team develop these highly imaginative tactics?"

The tactics of these three games, whether it was using fast push to deal with global compositions, switching lanes to protect Chaos Doom's development, or the carry-feeding strategy with Storm Swordsman and Ghost Blacksmith, were all very imaginative.

Not only did the opposing FRY team not realize it, but even the commentators and viewers on the scene did not realize that FV would play this way.

Zhou Pengyuan smiled and said, "Because we have a dedicated data analysis team that comprehensively evaluates the values of all heroes in the early, mid, and late stages after the version update. Through laning practice and scrims, we have discovered many heroes that seem unpopular but can actually be used. And we also have a dedicated tactical team that will bring some classic tactics over and turn them into their own tactics."

The host was listening carefully when a slightly nervous voice suddenly came from the earpiece: "Don't continue to delve into this issue!"

The host's face changed. After listening to the director's brief explanation, he realized that these tactics were all derived from *gog*. If he continued, there would be big problems, so he quickly changed the subject.

"So, what is the significance of winning this championship to your coaching career? Do you plan to work with the FV team to reach another peak in the future? For example, continue the current dominance and strive to win the World Finals championship next year?"

Zhou Pengyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I was arranged by the boss to be the coach of the FV team before the start of the World Championship, so for me, this championship is a good little interlude in my coaching career."

"As for the future... I'm not sure if I will continue to be the coach of the FV team, because I still have my own team to lead. But it's been a pleasure working with the FV team members and other people in the team. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."

The director's nervous voice came from the host's earpiece again: "Don't ask this question any further! He's the coach of the *gog* team!"

The host was speechless. What was going on with this interview? It was all traps!

He didn't dare to ask any other questions. What if he asked something he shouldn't have? Wouldn't that be a disaster?

The entire World Championship had gone smoothly since its inception, but now the award ceremony interview was about to crash?

The host quickly said, "Okay, thank you again to the FV team members for accepting the interview. Let us once again give our applause and cheers to the champion team of this IOI Global Finals, FV Team!"

Amidst the warm applause and cheers, the IOI Global Finals finally came to a successful conclusion!

...

At the same time, the domestic live broadcast rooms had exploded.

Not only the live broadcast rooms, but also countless viewers and players on various forums were discussing the final interview.

"Why are these FV team members all acting so arrogant! Every interview has a golden quote!"

"Top lane 'anyone can do it', jungle 'teammates killed too fast', mid lane 'basic operations', bot lane 'just following teammates', support 'didn't command much', amazing!"

"That's not right. I've watched these people play games live before. They don't seem like such arrogant people. Did they get infected by someone?"

"This answer is outrageous. Everyone feels like they're not carrying, just doing their part? Is it a round-robin carry? There's no carry on the team at all, or is everyone a carry?"

"No, weren't the team members very honest? The biggest carry on the team is the coaching staff!"

"Pan Ying said that the coach had arranged all the tactics, routines, and situations that might occur in the game in advance. Is that really true? Is it that magical?"

"Damn, I'm impressed by Lao Zhou's interview! Winning the IOI Global Finals is just a small interlude in his coaching career?"

"Maybe Lao Zhou thinks coaching DGE is more important. After all, he didn't even play IOI before. He came over to coach for more than a month and led the FV team to the world championship. He probably doesn't find it challenging!"

"Indeed, I think Lao Zhou's next goal should be to train the DGE team members well, and strive to send more potential new players to various clubs, and strive to let the players he has trained win a few more GPL championships!"

"Lao Zhou said that there is a dedicated data analysis team and a tactical team that analyzes the IOI game version and brings over mature tactics. Aren't the so-called 'mature tactics' the tactics from *gog*? For example, the fast push, this is obviously a tactic that was once popular in *gog*!"

"Indeed, and the carry-feeding strategy in the last game seems to be an unpopular tactic in *gog*. It was not very useful in IOI competitions, but the modified last-hitting rules after the version update made it so effective!"

"This interview is too short and not very interesting. There are still many key questions that haven't been asked?"

"They probably didn't dare to delve into it. If they asked further, and Lao Zhou said that he had always been playing *gog*, and had only been researching IOI for more than a month, could the scene still be watched? It would become a live broadcast accident!"

"I hope the domestic media will interview the FV team well. I feel that they were quite mysterious during this month in Los Angeles, and they transformed inexplicably. I can't imagine that they are the same FV team that stumbled through the domestic qualifiers to get the No. 1 seed!"

"In short, I look forward to the champion team returning in victory! I can't wait to see them start live streaming!"

After the FV team won the IOI Global Finals championship, the domestic public opinion was filled with an optimistic atmosphere.

From the initial defeat of the other two teams in the group stage, to the surprise of the FV team turning the tide in the quarter-finals, and then to winning the championship in such a dominant way in the finals, the entire IOI Global Finals can be said to be a grand drama, making the audience enjoy it.

Even many *gog* players who had no games to watch due to the GPL offseason were very happy and sincerely happy for the FV team.

After all, this is Boss Pei's team, and the coach Lao Zhou is a member of DGE, which naturally makes people feel close.

In such a joyful atmosphere, a post appeared on the forum and quickly sparked heated discussions.

The title of the post was: "From Bottom Team to World Champion, What Kind of Magic Does Boss Pei Have That Can Transform the FV Team?"
