“What?”

“The previous person-in-charge of Tengda Games who was transferred to Bunny Tail Live-Stream?”

Jin Yong nearly fainted from Zhao Xuming’s words.

What was going on?

Tengda Games was not the same as GOG’s project team.
Tengda Games had specially developed a series of standalone games like Repent and be Saved and Struggle.

The person-in-charge of this department had been transferred to Bunny Tail Live-Stream?

This was a demotion, right?

The gaming department was Tengda’s core department.

What’s more, this person had come to Bunny Tail Live-Stream and even dominated the development of the live-stream viewing function, thus giving IOI a fatal blow?

That was very ridiculous!

If it was Zhao Xuming or Eric, or even Boss Pei’s idea, Jin Yong had nothing to say.
They were better and could only admit defeat.

However, he now knew that the person who stabbed him in the back was someone who had nothing to do with this business.
That was unacceptable!

It was like two armies were in the midst of an intense battle when a passerby suddenly appeared out of nowhere and directly killed a general on their side, causing their side to instantly fall like a mountain.

Ridiculous!

Jin Yong was completely silent.
He seemed to understand why IOI could not fight back.

Tengda’s talent pool was too scary!

Someone like Zhao Xuming did not need to think of any tricks to be the person-in-charge of GOG’s domestic server.
As long as he followed his job and achieved 60 points, the other departments would naturally bring him to 80 or even 100 points.

Jin Yong was extremely envious.

Why didn’t I encounter a time when I was lying down and winning?

He could not chat anymore.
The more he spoke, the sadder he became.

Jin Yong exchanged a few more pleasantries with Zhao Xuming.
He could not continue chatting considering their different positions.

Jin Yong returned to his seat and sat down.

Chrétien was an insider, so he was sitting by the side, waiting for the competition to start.
He did not know what to think.

Jin Yong said, “Boss Zhao is here as well.
Eric might be here as well.”

Chrétien could not help but frown.
“What are they doing here?”

“Is it because there’s no more suspense in GOG, so they came to watch FV stand?”

Jin Yong nodded.
“That’s probably the case.”

He hesitated for a moment and said, “Boss Zhao looks very good.
I asked.
He said that GOG’s viewing function was done by the former person-in-charge of Tengda Games, who was transferred to Bunny Tail Live-Stream…”

Chrétien fell silent as well.

He really wanted to say, “What are you showing off for, you traitor!”

However, that would make him look sour.

That’s right.
If they could win while lying down, who would be willing to be the loser?

“Let’s watch the competition.” Chrétien sighed silently.

…

It had to be said that IOI’s global finals were still very well-received.
In order not to lose to GOG in the field, Finger Games had spared no expense this time.
They had even invited a very famous foreign rock band to perform.
Previously, the publicity surrounding the two finals teams had even reached a peak when the two teams appeared.

However, it was obvious that FV Team’s cheers were higher than CEM Team’s.

That was very normal because FV Team’s food was more popular than CEM Team!

Previously, Finger Games had wanted to create a demon persona for FV Team.
Thus, there was no way they could tilt the FV Team’s image in terms of publicity resources.

FV Team was the previous champion with well-liked performances perviously.
They had many fans around the world.

What’s more, from the performance of the elimination round, even though FV Team no longer had the same dominance as last year after being targeted by the version, their strength was still there.
It was still very likely that they would enter the finals.

CEM Team was different.
In the elimination round, they were only one of the foreign teams that Finger Games thought highly of.

Whether it was Europe or Northern American Region, the teams that came seemed to be quite strong.
Three or four of the strong teams might enter the finals.

Therefore, Finger Games would be very conflicted when promoting them.
Who should they bet on?

There was only so much popularity.
What if a certain team was eliminated and did not even make it to the finals?

Thus, he could only take advantage of the popularity.

Thus, this created an awkward situation: Everyone had exposure, but it was far less than FV Team.

Fortunately, CEM, a veteran European team, entered the finals in the end.
They still had the home ground advantage.
Thus, the cheers at the venue did not sound particularly crushing.
It was a blessing in disguise.

CEM was the team that was won by FV Team 3: 0 in the top eight competition last year.
They had been scolded by their fans when they lost the competition.

The team members had also suffered a huge blow.
They had participated in the international competition with the intention of at least making it to the finals.
However, they had been eliminated in the top eight.
What’s more, they had been eliminated at 3: 0.
Who could tolerate that?!

In the end, he suddenly felt better after watching the competition.

That was because everyone had 3: 0…

Wasn’t FRY Team in the finals also crushed? Their performance was even worse than his!

Thus, he felt better.

This year, Finger Games had eliminated a few heroes that they were good at for FV Team.
They had also strengthened the few heroes that the European and American teams were good at.
Coincidentally, they were all in CEM Team’s hero pool.
Thus, they had also eaten the dividends that Finger Games had modified.
Their strength had improved by another level.

Soon, the competition officially begun.

Jin Yong realized that Chrétien seemed a little nervous and was sweating.

Finger Games definitely hoped that CEM Team would win.

If FV Team won again, wouldn’t all the popularity that they had accumulated previously benefit FV Team?

What’s more, Finger Games had already adjusted the version target so much, but FV Team could still win.
That was too embarrassing…

If FV lost, the strange version would be useless.
Everyone would only criticize them.
However, if they won, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chrétien looked a little nervous at the beginning, probably because the PTSD from watching the competition last year had acted up.

At that time, no one thought that FV Team was a strong team.
In the end, they came up with tricks one after another.
Not to mention the opponents, even the audience and commentators were stunned.
It completely subverted everyone’s understanding of IOI.

Some of IOI’s designers did not expect the game to be played this way.

Chrétien was obviously afraid that FV Team would be like last year, acting submissively in the group stages and going all out in the finals.
It would be too despairing if they were to pull out some new tricks that they had never seen before and torture CEM with 3: 0!

However, after watching the BP segment, Chrétien visibly relaxed and wiped his sweat.

Alright, alright.
It was finally normal.

FV Team did not give a particularly shocking BP and tactics this time.
Their lineup might have changed slightly compared to the semi-finals, but they were more adaptable and counter-attack.
All the choices were still within the understanding of the audience and commentators.

This also meant that FV Team was going to compete with CEM in strength.

That was normal.
That was because Finger Games could be said to be determined to win the world finals this time.
They had confirmed the version in advance and cut down FV Team’s best heroes, giving foreign teams enough time to do tactical research.

It was not like last year where the version of the international competition had changed too much.
Many foreign teams had not adapted well, causing the FV with strong tactical reserves to take advantage of the loopholes.

At the finals stage, the two teams had studied the current version thoroughly.
Even if there was a gap in the lineup and tactics, it was not enough to have a decisive impact on the results and trend of the competition.
At the end of the day, it was still a competition of strength.

Strength was nothing more than the level of control the players had of the heroes, the cooperation and execution of the entire team.

The former was definitely because CEM Team had the advantage.

That was because these strong heroes were the best heroes of CEM players.
FV team members had been training hard after the modification, but there was still a gap no matter how hard they trained.

That gave Chrétien hope.

There was a chance to win!

Once CEM Team won, they would be able to snatch FV Team’s popularity.
It would have a certain positive effect on boosting the European and American markets.
Finger Games would also have face.
This IOI World Competition would be considered a success.

Such success would definitely affect the attitude of the upper echelons of Dayak Corporation towards IOI.
They would definitely be more peaceful and would not think about how to squeeze out the remaining value like before.

Chrétien watched the progress of the competition with nervous anticipation.

In the first round, CEM was next first, but FV Team quickly made tactical adjustments and returned to their original state in the second round.

Both sides exchanged blows, not giving in to each other.
In the end, they actually reached the deciding round!

Jin Yong was also enjoying watching it.
He had not watched such an exciting competition in a long time!

He might be the person-in-charge of IOI’s domestic server now but it did not affect him from the perspective of a pure audience to enjoy the exciting competition.

What’s more, his attitude was different from Finger Games.
Finger Games did not like FV Team, but Jin Yong still had a good impression of FV Team.
He was actually looking forward to FV Team being the champion.

Before the final deciding round began, Jin Yong glanced at Chrétien, who was sitting next to him.

He suddenly realized that Chrétien’s face was pale.
He seemed to be even more nervous than before the first round.

What’s more, this did not seem to be just nervousness.
There was also a very strong worry?

Jin Yong was a little confused.
He asked, “We’re already at the deciding round.
That means that FV Team and CEM Team have a chance.
Even if we really want CEM to win, we don’t have to worry to this extent, right?”

Chrétien shook his head.
“No, that’s not it.”

“I suddenly realized a very serious problem.”

“The outcome of the last round is no longer important.
Whether CEM Team loses or wins the last round, we have already lost to Boss Pei!”

Jin Yong was stunned.
“How is that possible? A win is win, a lose is lose!”

Chrétien said, “Our only chance of winning is CEM Team 3: 0 or 3: 1 to win FV Team cleanly.”

“The current situation is a dead end!”
