Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pan Ying thought for a moment. "Perhaps it's because the coaches have already explained the various ways of playing in detail before. We have also conducted many targeted training, so everyone knows what to do. Everyone will understand after I say a few words."

"That's why I'm not doing any special operations."

The host was very surprised. "So, including the exchange of resources in the early stages, the explosive kills, and even whether or not to engage in the team battle, were all arranged by the coaches beforehand?"

Pan Ying nodded. "While it's impossible to be specific to each team, based on the economic gap between the two teams and the key equipment of the core heroes, we can determine if we can have a group attack. These were all instructed by the coaches in advance."

The audience looked very surprised after hearing the translation.

Pan Ying's words were a little nonsensical, he was not the first member to say that.

All the members of FV Team, including the top, middle, and jungler players who were interviewed previously, all said that their performance was inseparable from the arrangement of the coaches. It would be easy to win as long as they played according to the plan planned by the coaches.

The host asked again, "What do you think is the most important thing to win this championship? Teamwork? Or trust between teammates?"

Pan Ying thought for a moment and said, "Thank you to the coaches for arranging tactics for us, and our brother team's SUG for sparring with us. I feel that there is no obvious difference between our team's overall strength and FRY's teams. We can only win because we are well-prepared."

"Of course, the most important thing is to thank our boss, Boss Pei. That's because all of this was arranged by him."

The host was a little surprised because all of the team members had unified their opinions and attributed the greatest credit to the coaches!

This was actually a relatively rare situation.

That was because even though all the e-sports clubs in the world had the position of coach, the position of coach was far from being absolute.

In the country, many players were internet addicts and high score passers-by. They looked down on the coaches from the bottom of their hearts. They felt that the coaches' scores were not as high as theirs so why should he teach them how to do things? Their analysis was so logical but yet they could not even handle high-end games. How could they use it to compete?

That was why the coaches of many clubs in the country had been reduced to ordering take-out. The strategy that they had developed was more of a suggestion. Celebrity players had a strong say.

The current situation in Europe and America was not much better.

The other coaches would basically be given for nothing unless a retired veteran changed professions and became a coach.

It was unheard of for teams to be completely obedient to the coach team like FV Team. It was also unheard of for a coach to be able to completely calculate the situation on the field and make arrangements in advance.

Finally, the host came in front of Coach Zhou Pengyuan.

"Coach Zhou, the players have all attributed the credit for winning the championship to the coach team. May I ask how the FV's coach team developed these extremely imaginative tactics?"

The tactics for these three rounds, be it using force demolition to deal with global style, swaping lanes to ensure Chaos Misfortune's development, or the adopted torture method of the Storm Swordsman and Specter Blacksmith, were very imaginative.

Not only did the opponent FRY Team not realize it, even the commentators and audience did not realize that FV Team would play this way.

Zhou Pengyuan smiled and said, "That's because we have a special data analysis team. We have a comprehensive evaluation of the values of all the heroes in the first, middle, and later stages after the modification. We have dug out many heroes that seem unpopular but can actually be used through online training and mock competition. What's more, we have a special tactical team that will move some classic tactics over and turn them into their own tactics."

The host was listening intently when the director's slightly nervous voice suddenly sounded in his earpiece. "Don't continue to pursue this question!"

The host's expression changed. After listening to the director's simple explanation, he realized that these tactics had evolved from GOG. If he continued, there would be a huge problem. He quickly changed the question.

"Then, may I ask what's the meaning of winning this championship for your teaching career? Are you planning to charge to another peak with FV's players in the future? For example, continue your current dominance and fight for the championship for next year's world finals?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Pengyuan said, "Actually, I was only arranged by my boss to be FV Team's coach before the international competition began. To me, this championship is a good interlude for my teaching career."

"As for the future... I'm not sure if I'll continue to be FV Team's coach because I still have my own team to take care of. However, working with FV Team members and the other members of the team is quite enjoyable. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."

The broadcast director's nervous voice sounded in the host's ears again. "Don't ask this question too deeply! He's GOG Team's coach!"

The host was speechless. What was going on with the interview? Why were there pits everywhere!

He did not dare to ask any more questions. What if he asked something that he should not say? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?

There had not been big problems for the entire international finals. What would happen if the interview at the end of the award ceremony failed?

The host quickly said, "OK, thank the FV team members for the interview again. Let us give the applause and cheers to the champion team of IOI's global finals, FV Team!"

IOI's global finals finally came to an end amidst the warm applause and cheers!

…

At the same time, the live-stream in China exploded.

It was not only the live-stream but also countless viewers and players on various forums discussing the final interview.

"Why are these FV team members acting so pretentiously?! Every interview has a signature sentence!"

"The top laner with 'as long as you have hands', the jungler with 'teammates kill too quickly', the middle lane is 'basic operations', the bottom lane is 'hanging out with teammates', the support is 'not commanding much', so heartless!"

"That's not right. I've seen the live-streams of these people playing games. They don't seem to be so pretentious. Could they have been infected by someone?"

"This answer is ridiculous. Everyone feels that they are not carrying the team but doing what they are supposed to do? Could it be that they are sucking up in a ring? There is no thigh in the team at all, or perhaps everyone is the thigh?"

"No, didn't the team members tell you the truth? The biggest thigh in the team is the coaches!"

"Pan Ying said that all the tactical strategies and possible situations in the competition have been arranged in advance by the coach. Is this true? Is it that abnormal?"

"Holy sh*t, I'm convinced by Old Zhou's interview! Getting the IOI global finals champion was just a small interlude in his teaching career?"

"Perhaps Old Zhou thinks that teaching DGE is more important. After all, he did not play IOI before. He came over to teach for more than a month and brought FV Team to the world championship. He probably doesn't find it challenging!"

"Indeed, I think Old Zhou's next goal should be to train the members of DGE well. He should strive to send more new players with potential to the various clubs. He should strive to train more players to win more GPL championships!"

"Old Zhou said that there is a special data analysis team and tactical team analyzing IOI's game version and moving mature tactics over. Isn't the so-called 'mature tactics' the tactics in GOG? For example, forced demolition. This is obviously the tactics that used to be popular in GOG!"

"That's true. Moreover, the last round's adopted father seemed to be an unpopular tactic in GOG. It was not very useful in the IOI competition at first, but the last hit rule was modified. That's why it was so effective!"

"This interview is too short. There's no meaning to it. There are still many key questions that they haven't asked?"

"I don't think he dares to probe any further. If he continues asking, Old Zhou would say that he had been playing GOG all along and had only been researching IOI for a month. Would he still be able to watch such a scene? That would become a live-stream accident!"

"I hope the local media can interview the FV team. I feel that their month in Los Angeles was quite mysterious. They changed for no reason. I didn't expect them to be in the same team as the FV team that only managed to obtain the first seed in the domestic qualifiers!"

"In short, let's look forward to the championship team coming back victorious! I can't wait to see them live-stream!"

Public opinion in the country was filled with optimism after FV Team won IOI's global finals.

From the defeat of the other two teams in the group stages at the beginning, to the surprise of FV Team turning the tide in the top eight, and then to winning the championship in such a dominating manner in the finals, the entire IOI global finals could be said to be a huge show that made the audience feel satisfied.'

Even many GOG players who did not have a competition to watch because GPL competition was not open were very happy. They were sincerely happy for FV Team.

This was Boss Pei's team after all. Coach Old Zhou was a member of DGE. Naturally, he made people feel close to him.

A post appeared on the forum amidst this joyous atmosphere. It quickly caused a heated discussion.

The title of the post was: "What kind of magic does Boss Pei have to remould FV Team from a bottom-tier team to the world champion?"
