Chapter 846: Results Prediction

The five players from both teams stepped onto the stage one by one after the exciting pre-match performance. The audience immediately applauded warmly.

The first IOI International Finals trophy that Finger Games had prepared for the champion was placed in the center of the stage. There were even several close-up shots.

This championship trophy was huge and gorgeous.

Finger Games could be said to have spared no expense for this global finals. Whether it was the venue or the trophy, they would surpass GOG’s international invitational tournament.

Previously, GOG’s international invitational trophy weighed 28 kilograms and was 35 centimeters tall. It was made of zinc and gold-plated material, and was extremely beautiful.

Finger Games’ international finals was meant for GOG’s international invitational tournament. They had to do a full set of acting. The venue and other aspects had already surpassed GOG. Wouldn’t it be a joke if the trophy was too small?

It had to be bigger than GOG’s trophy!

Therefore, the trophy that Finger Games produced this time was even bigger than GOG’s trophy. It was 40 centimeters tall, and was larger overall.

However, considering that the skinny internet addicts might not be able to lift the trophy if it was too heavy and made of the same material. Thus, they specially made some adjustments to the material. The weight would ultimately be 25 kilograms.

It was still very heavy, but at the very least, it looked bigger than GOG’s championship trophy while ensuring that the team members could lift it up.

Finally, both teams took their seats and began to adjust their computers after a rather long opening ceremony. The highly anticipated IOI global finals was about to begin.

The platform was fully filled with people since it was the finals. There were five commentators and three former professional players participating in the analysis and discussion.

Three of them were in charge of commentating during the competition. The remaining two commentators and three professional players were in charge of analyzing before and after the competition.

The analysis before the competition was mainly to warm up the venue, analyze the current state of the two teams, their preparations, the tactics they were good at and predict the contents of the next match. The analysis after the competition was mainly to review the previous match and point out the turning point and key players of this match.

These three professional players were the star players of veteran European and American clubs. They were strong and had a deep understanding of the game. They spoke clearly and were carefully selected from the six teams that were eliminated in the top eight.

All in all, the standard for the finals was directly maxed out, giving the audience the feeling that they really profited from buying the tickets!

The players were still adjusting the machine and making pre-match preparations. The two commentators and three professional players on the analysis platform began to warm up and analyze today’s finals.

“OK, let’s take a look at the prediction for this finals. It’s surprising. Apart from David, everyone in the eight commentators predicted that FRY would win.”

“To be honest, such a one-sided prediction made me feel a little uneasy. Then, let’s discuss why we made such a pre-match prediction.”

“I think we should ask the three professional players to tell us why you made this prediction. Is it because you were eliminated by FRY?” Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

The three professional players looked very relaxed. The first person on the right spoke first after laughing.

“FRY Team is our old rival. While they have eliminated us in the semifinals and made us very indignant, I have to say that I think they are indeed stronger than us. They are the popular candidates for the championship in this finals.”

“On the other hand, while we have not fought with FV Team before, FV Team seems to be a team that focuses on routine and teamwork from their style. Their performance in the previous games was indeed invulnerable, but I think that the overly smooth elimination tournament journey did not allow them to suffer too many setbacks and therefore have not had much experience when the situation goes against them.”

“On the other hand, FRY is more comprehensive. We all know that they can quickly end their opponents after obtaining an advantage in the early stages. Even if they were to fall into a disadvantage in the early stages, they can rely on their outstanding individual ability to drag the game into the mid to late stages to turn the tables. Therefore, I judge that both sides will ultimately play five rounds, and FRY will obtain the final victory.”

Another professional player added, “That’s right, in terms of team style, FRY is indeed more comprehensive.”

“During the elimination phase, all the teams are constantly trying to figure out the version answers. We noticed that from the group stages to the top eight, and then to the top four, the popular heroes have been changing. The heroes that were Banned previously are no longer on stage. This means that as the elimination phase continues, the lineup of both teams will gradually converge and find the optimal solution to this version.”

“After both sides have reached the peak of their tactical reserves, it would be a test of their ability to adapt to the situation at random, their ability to handle the situation when the tide was against them and their players’ performance. After the North American team was completely eliminated, FRY, the only remaining European team, is actually enjoying the home ground treatment. Considering their ability to deal with the situation against them and their tenacity, I believe that the final victory would belong to them.”

“What’s more, FRY has many celebrity players. In the face of such a big scene, I think the value of celebrity players will be reflected.”

“That’s why I think FRY will win with a score of 3: 1.”

The last professional player said, “I also think that FRY Team will win this competition, but my estimate is different from theirs.”

“I think that FRY Team will beat FV Team by a huge lead of 3: 0 this time because our team has recently competed with FRY Team in a few mock competitions. I cannot disclose the details, but I want to say that FRY Team has made a huge improvement compared to the time during the semifinals.”

“Their understanding of the game version has improved further. They have even changed their playstyles completely, catching all of us off guard. In fact, they have tortured us badly, and FV Team might be unprepared for these new tactics. Therefore, I think that if FRY can play their level normally, they will undoubtedly win with a 3: 0.”

Everyone else on the official platform looked shocked because no one else knew about this.

The team that this professional player belonged to lost to the FRY team in the semifinals. If he felt that the FRY team’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds compared to the semifinals, then his words were very credible.

Many commentators smiled. Obviously, the three professional players’ speech had greatly boosted their confidence.

The organizers had to be fair and impartial and should not be biased towards either side, but they would still subconsciously support the European and American teams.

Chrétien and Zhao Xuming were not so optimistic below the stage.

Obviously, these commentators and professional players were predicting FRY’s performance.

The two statisticians Cretian sent to FRY team, had indeed played their roles. These two Balancers had worked together with the coaches to come up with a new tactical plan, which had greatly improved the strength of the FRY team.

FRY had once again arranged for the opponents in the semifinals to compete in the mock competition. Of course, they would torture the opponents until they could not find their bearings.

Thus, FRY originally had the ability to compete for the championship in the eyes of these professional players. This championship was of course guaranteed now that their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

However, Chrétien and Zhao Xuming, who knew some inside information about FV Team, knew very well that the situation was definitely not that optimistic.

FRY Team’s strength had increased because of the data analyst sent by the official platform. Did FV Team not have any data analysts?

They had, and their experience was much higher than FRY’s!

Then, after a week of training and preparation, what was FV Team’s strength now?

These coaches and professional players were blindly confident because they did not understand FV Team’s true situation at all. They thought that FV Team was still at the level of the top four and would not improve much.

What would happen to FRY team if they were so arrogant?

Zhao Xuming had a bad feeling.

...

It was commentator David’s turn to speak after everyone else on the official analysis platform were done speaking. He was the one who predicted that FV Team would win.

David shrugged. “Alright, I can’t deny that you all make sense, but FV battleteam has not been favored from the start, right?”

“Every team had high hopes for themselves before fighting them. They were publicly recognized as strong teams, but they became weak after fighting FV Team.”

“FV Team has always been able to come up with a playstyle that we have never seen before. What’s more, they are playing like a shared intelligence. There are no particularly dazzling superstars in the team, but if you look closely, you will realize that every one of them is actually very strong. They always appear where they should appear and do what they should do.”

“That’s why I think FV Team will still defeat FRY with a 3: 0 and start their own dynasty.”

A commentator smiled and said, “This is really a surprising prediction. David, do you think that FRY won’t be able to get even a score from FV? FRY has also relied on their strong performance to enter the finals. They are not a weak team.”

David nodded seriously. “Yes, that’s what I think. Let’s wait and see!”

After the commentators’ warm-up and analysis, the equipment adjustments for both teams were finally completed. The big screen switched to the game’s image.

The three official commentators entered the official commentary segment.

“Eh, neither side bashed the cursed evil spirit that shone in the semifinals, nor did they snatch it!”

“Chaos Misfortune, which was very popular in the group stages, was not banned again. It looks like both parties have found a way to deal with this hero. They are not afraid that the other party will get it.”

“On the FRY team’s side, the three core heroes that FV Team performed well in the semifinals were banned. On the other hand, FV Team also banned the other team’s celebrity heroes to show their respect.”

“Both parties did not ban the popular heroes according to their previous understanding.”

“Alright, the Blue Team, FRY will be choosing first. Let us see their first hero choice…”
