Losing Money to Be a Tycoon - Chapter 854

Chapter 854: Waves Of People Showing Off

It was finally time for the interview after the trophy, medals and photos had been taken.

The foreign audiences were extremely curious about FV’s team.

The five members of FV Team were the first batch of celebrities to play IOI in the eyes of the Chinese but their fame was limited to China.

That was because the game was developed by Finger Games after all. The most exposed players had always been the celebrities of European and American clubs. Thus, foreign audiences basically knew nothing about these five players.

During the group stages, the domestic teams did not perform well, causing foreign audiences to treat FV Team as a weak team, and they were even less interested in understanding them.

After the top eight and top four competitions were over, the official platform had arranged for interviews. However, the interviews at that time were mainly focused on some details in the competition and did not have much substance.

Take the interview with Pan Ying after the semifinals for example. Interviewing Pan Ying was a black hole. He would answer questions in a few words, not more than a sentence. He gave people the feeling that he was posturing but lacking in substance. There was really nothing to discuss.

FV team members’ answers were very ordinary compared to their official Weibo account.

Thus, FV was still a very mysterious team to most viewers.

How could they be so strong? They had won all competitions with 3: 0 from the top eight. Moreover, from the results of the competition, there was basically no suspense. The other party had no chance at all.

This suffocating pressure made everyone admit that FV Team was currently the most domineering IOI team in the world. Not only was it the only existence, but there was also a huge gap between it and the runner-up, FRY Team.

The official host of Finger Games also had many questions to ask.

FV team members and coach Zhou Pengyuan stood in a row, each wearing a championship medal, holding their heads high, waiting to be interviewed.

The host began to interview the players one by one, from the top laner to the jungler, then to the mid-laner, and finally to the coach.

The host came to the top laner first. He asked the question he had prepared beforehand after letting him greet the audience. “In the second round, the team snatched the hero Chaos Misfortune for you. May I ask what tactical considerations did you have? What is your understanding of this hero?”

The top laner player thought for a while and answered, “According to the analysis of our coach team, this hero is basically invincible in the mid to late stages. If he can ensure development in the early stages, he will definitely win. That’s why we snatched him.”

“My understanding of this hero… as long as he has hands, he can win as long as he smoothens his face and rolls on the keyboard.”

After hearing the translation, the host could not help but laugh. “As long as you have hands? You’re very confident. Can you evaluate the contestant who was against you today?”

The top laner player thought for a while. “I think he controls his characters quite well. However, whether we win or lose has nothing to do with him. My team is slightly better than his team.”

The audience cheered and whistled after hearing the translation.

Before this, Pan Ying had been acting cool when he was interviewed during the semifinals. For example, “99% of the situation was planned”, “3: 0 is not surprising”, “Coincidentally, the other party’s performance was all within our team’s expectations and did not need to be improvised”, and so on.

Only now did he realize that Captain Pan Ying was not the only one with such a character. The entire team was similar!

The top laner’s ‘as long as they had hands’, ‘they could even win by rolling their faces on the keyboard’, and ‘their opponents were quite formidable’ also highlighted a faint posturing.

The host came to the jungler for another interview.

“We all know that Storm Swordsman is your signature hero. You did indeed obtain the final victory through this hero, and successfully obtained the Five Kill after the other party released it. May I know how it feels to obtain the Five Kill? Most people think that this is a noob hero, but you still took it out on the highest stage of the professional arena and achieved very good results. Can you tell us where your confidence comes from?”

The jungler did not think too much about it. After listening to the translation, he immediately said, “I am a little happy about the five kills. My teammates killed too quickly in the previous rounds after all. It’s not easy to snatch someone’s head.”

“However, this Five Kill was indeed well-preserved by my teammates. I didn’t do much either. I just had to wait for the right time to attack.”

“My confidence actually has nothing to do with my proficiency. In the analysis of our coaches, this hero is indeed a hero who can only torture noobs. He’s useless with normal development, so I usually don’t dare to use it in competitions.”

“However, the coaches developed a combination of Storm Swordsman and Specter Blacksmith, so that I can use this hero to earn money from both sides. That’s why I dared to play it.”

The audience cheered again after listening to the translation.

The junglers had the same character as expected. “My teammates killed too quickly”, “I didn’t do much”, “I don’t dare to take it normally”, these words sounded very interesting, but after careful consideration, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. This was the most ridiculous.

The host came to the mid-laner again.

“In the first round, you decisively chose the Explosive Artisan to deal with the Wings of the Blade and the global style. This is a relatively weak and unpopular hero in the understanding of most teams. May I ask why you chose such a hero? If the other party did not choose the Wings of the Blade, would you have still chosen this hero? Or would you have other choices of confidence?

The mid-laner player was a relatively calm and cautious person. After listening to the translation, he pondered for a while before saying, “This hero might be unpopular, but in the analysis of our coaches, we think that its ability to dismantle towers is actually superb in the new version. Therefore, it is a good choice to use it to fight the global style. Of course, it also needs teamwork. We cannot give the other party the chance to catch heroes in the global style.”

“If the other party did not choose the Wings of the Blade, I would definitely have taken it. This version’s global style is still a relatively strong lineup.”

The so-called supermodel was beyond the template. In other words, although the explosive craftsmen seemed to have many flaws on the surface, they were too powerful in dismantling towers and had developed a certain group battle ability. That was why they were the core choices to deal with global style.

The mid-laner’s answer had obviously answered many of the audience’s questions. FV had obviously prepared two ways to release the Wings of the Blade. If the opponent chose something that could be targeted, they would take the opposing character.

The host continued asking, “In other words, you’re also proficient in the Wings of the Blade, right?”

The mid-laner hero was silent for a moment. “This hero should be the most basic hero in the mid-laner. It’s quite ridiculous if professional players don’t know how to play it.”

The host came to the bottom lane player.

“You don’t seem to have a particularly high tactical position in the team today. The tactics for the three rounds are set up around the middle lane, the top lane, and the jungler. The bottom lane often has to choose team-type archers to cooperate with the team. However, under such circumstances, you still managed to produce very high output and a very good KDA. May I ask how you did it?”

The player on the bottom lane smiled. “That’s because according to the analysis of our coaches, the bottom lane in this version is not fit to be the core. It can only be used as a tool. If the top lane is smooth, the bottom lane is smooth. If the middle lane is not smooth, the bottom lane is also free.”

“I don’t have any requirements for tactical arrangements, as long as I can win. As for DPS and KDA… we are all hanging out without teammates. It doesn’t matter who comes.”

Laughter and cheers came from below the stage once again. This player on the bottom lane had the same style of speaking as the previous players. “It’s good as long as you can win”, “hanging out with your teammates”, “it doesn’t matter who comes.” He said all sorts of nonsense.

The host finally came to the support player Pan Ying.

Pan Ying could be considered an old acquaintance of the audience. After all, he was the one who had been interviewed during the semifinals. This “interview black hole” with narrowed eyes was the captain and commander of the team, leaving a deep impression on many viewers.

“Today, FV Team’s team coordination is as beautiful as before. It’s the same as the quarterfinals and the semifinals, easily defeating the opponent with 3: 0. You guys are playing very well from the perspective of the bystanders. Everyone seems to be very clear about the next movements of their teammates, as if you are a collective intelligence. May I ask how you guys managed to achieve such perfect team coordination?”
