Chapter 666: The Championship would Forever Belong to DGE!
September 25th, Sunday, Final Day of the GOG International invitational tournament…
The H4 Club and EK Club had successfully reached the finals!
Amongst them, SUG was the original favorite to win the championship, but they were beaten out of the lead after suffering defeats from the EK club led by Jiang Huan in five rounds during the semi-finals.
The game was finished two days ago. SUG’s overall strength was much stronger than that of EK; however, Jiang Huan was incredibly good at being the toplaner. The five rounds of games were forcefully carried through by him, relying on extremely delicate operations and calm decision-making. The audiences were high on that turn of events.
The H4 Club won against the FRY Club 3:0 without any mishaps and suspense and made it to the finals.
The two veteran clubs, the H4 Club and the FRY Club were rivals. The opening game of this International invitational tournament was played by these two teams. They were still nearly on par, which was very anxious and exciting.
FRY climbed all the way to the top four by stepping on the corpses of foreign teams. It could be said that they were the strongest foreign team at present. Therefore, many audiences did not dare to underestimate their strengths.
They thought that it would be a close match, but they didn’t expect the H4 Club to end the battle with a clean 3:0.
They might have two fewer games to watch, but the audiences were equally elastic. Who wouldn’t want to watch domestic teams completely slay the foreign teams?
Many people also realized during the competition that these domestic teams seemed to be able to continue growing!
The H4 Club did not seem to be very adapted to the competitive environment; some of them were fearful and missed out on many opportunities.
However, the H4 Club played more decisively in the semi-finals again. Coupled with the line-up, tactical selection, and team cooperation; FRY Club seemed to find it difficult to fight against them.
The managers of these clubs knew the inside story.
During the International competition, these domestic teams had been using various opportunities to play training games together and improve their progress together!
In short, Jiang Huan, the captain of the DGE Team One, AND Huang Wang, the captain of Team Two, had successfully met in the finals!
The popularity of the GOG International invitational tournament had exploded directly on many major live-stream platforms. Many live broadcast platforms were stuck and had to urgently purchase additional bandwidth.
It was more so for the live event. Tickets were long sold out; even the newly opened Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0’s live esports museum was crowded with onlookers.
In short, GOG’s popularity in the international invitational tournament had reached its peak with the arrival of the finals!
Many people had speculated based on the results of three games:
EK 3:2 SUG
H4 3:0 FRY
SUG 3:1 FRY
SUG and FRY’s match was played yesterday. SUG won third place. Even though from the point of view of the result, SUG’s strength was also significantly higher than that of FRY; it was 3:1 after all.
Therefore, most people think that the contention of today’s competition should be between EK and H4!
Moreover, Huang Wang and Jiang Huan—the former captains of DGE Club—successfully rallied forces to the finals, which had increased the popularity of the DGE Club.
…
Pei Qian sat below the stage while wearing a black mask. He only dared to push a straw underneath his mask to take a secret sip after he realized that people were not paying attention to him.
Pei Qian finally managed to convince He An without giving himself away at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe the day before yesterday.
Pei Qian had been in the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe all day during Friday and Saturday, during which about a dozen people asked him for photographs and autographs.
Everyone treated him as Boss Pei’s actor so they did not trouble him anymore after they took a photo with him
Pei Qian felt that this situation was acceptable so he decided to watch the finals today.
However, considering that almost all the Tengda players were at the game, it was next to impossible not to be recognized. Pei Qian, therefore, put on a mask in a bid to significantly reduce the risk of being discovered.
Soon, the two commentators began their commentary on the analysis of the game; the warm-up and the promotional video were also being broadcasted on the big screen.
The competition had officially started!
The audiences cheered for the two teams in accordance with the previously agreed rules.
“Do your best, EK!”
“Do your best, H4!”
“Do your best, DGE!!!”
The entire audience suddenly cheered on DGE together after they cheered on the other two teams. Those voices turned out to be louder than the previous.
Pei Qian: “…”
The f*ck!
Not only that, but the camera also caringly shot the audiences in the front row, who held the banners. There were banners for EK and H4 naturally, but the most were for the DGE Club.
“Huang Wang: Boxer, fights online explosively!”
“Jiang Huan: Everything can be solved with operations and maneuvers; maneuver hard and fast!”
“Crooked? Don’t C those from DGE!”
“Our DGE will never be defeated!”
“DGE, the only champion in the GOG International invitational tournament!”
“GOG Global Finals!”
Pei Qian felt utter despair looking at these lighted banners.
The DGE Club was on fire completely; it could not be stopped!
Pei Qian was very helpless and could only comfort himself constantly. No problem, the players had already been sold. The players that they newly recruited could not become as good as them. The DGE Club would no longer be famous as long as the members of the other clubs also become muscle men…
…
The finals were fought very fiercely. The cheers from the audience also followed the wave.
Zhang Yuan and Coach Yaling sat in the audience to watch the game; they were also very engaged.
Coach Yaling may not understand GOG, but the players were trained up by her and had special feelings for them so she still came to the event location.
She could not understand what was happening on the big screen, but she still felt her heart swell with pride hearing the cheers of the scene. She could fully appreciate the excitement of esports.
“I might not understand what was going on, but I still relish the situation.
“If I could understand it, then it should be particularly exciting, right?” Coach Yaling showed lingering in her expression.
Zhang Yuan nodded. “Well, they are doing very well. However, not all esports could have such a program effect. Amongst which, Boss Pei’s overall arrangement was the most important!”
Coach Yaling was a little surprised. She whispered after a moment. “What? Boss Pei arranged a fake match?”
Zhang Yuan was a little dumbfounded. “How is it possible?!
“Boss Pei will never resort to fraud; he must use a high-end, more natural method!
“At the beginning, I only managed DGE Club as an ordinary club. Obviously, Boss Pei thought more long-term than me. He regarded the DGE Club as a talent-training base for the entire GOG domestic league. The benchmark and example of all clubs!
“In many cases, capital is blind and disorderly, and it is impossible to count on capital to maintain the order of the entire league. Boss Pei used this method to guide the league to get on the right track faster!
“First, we should concentrate our energy, develop two strong teams like the DGE Club, and beat all the domestic clubs to one side—make them understand that the times have changed.
“After that, all the players were separated to make up for the shortcomings of these clubs. At the same time, the awareness that the players cultivated was used to quickly improve the competitive level of all clubs in a short while.
“This way, it not only established the strength of domestic teams over foreign teams… but also made the strength of domestic teams more balanced.
“The former could ensure that domestic teams were crushing the strength of foreign teams and stimulated the pride of domestic players; the latter could ensure that the two teams in the finals were similar in strength. It was a wonderful game.
“Would the viewing performance of the game be bad if they could do this?
“It seemed like Boss Pei had considered this point when I obtained the Best Employee award and wanted to set up an esports club. Not only could it solve the profitability and publicity problems of the DGE Esports Club and Deposit Fitness Gym, but it had also established a good competitive ecology for GOG. One stone killed many birds!”
Li Yaling nodded as she listened on.
She only needed to know what Boss Pei was awesome!
…
Both sides did their best in the five rounds. Huang Wang and Jiang Huan took turns to carry, but H4 Club’s overall strength was still a bit better, enabling them to successfully win the championship.
Jiang Huan might have played perfectly in all five games, but EK’s running-in was still slightly worse than H4’s after all so they lost in the end.
Jiang Huan’s performance had now conquered international players. In the hearts of many people, Jiang Huan was the best toplaner!
The H4 Club stood up and shook hands with everyone from the EK Club.
Huang Wang and Jiang Huan hugged each other. “I have to admit that you are still better even though winning over you felt great.”
Jiang Huan smiled. “No problem, it is all the same.”
“The championship belongs to DGE no matter which one of us wins!”
Huang Wang nodded excitedly. “That’s right!”
Brilliant sparks spurted from the bottom of the stage, golden rain falling from the sky. The members of the H4 Club rushed to the championship trophy in the center of the stage with ecstasy. They were greeted with tsunami-like applause and cheers.
H4’s jungler rushed to the trophy excitedly, holding the waist of the trophy with both hands, trying to lift it.
However, an embarrassing scene happened: The trophy did not move!
Pang Ling was a little puzzled; could this trophy be welded dead to the podium? Why could it not be moved otherwise?
Huang Wang smiled. “Tch, tch.”
He stretched his hand to hold the thin waist of the trophy, the muscles on his hands bulging as he raised it over his head directly single-handedly!
At this moment, countless flashes appeared from below the stage, recording this historic moment.
Huang Wang’s sturdy arms held the huge and heavy trophy high, golden rain fell slowly from the sky.
Question marks floated above Pei Qian’s head as he sat in the audience.
?
If he did not remember wrongly, this trophy weighed 28 kilograms, didn’t it?
That was nearly 60 jin[1]!
That was for the five of you to lift it up together, you brainless muscle idiot!
Pei Qian suddenly had a very bad premonition.
The picture of Huang Wang lifting the trophy would not become the latest hot search to become publicity for the DGE Club and Deposit Fitness Gym, right?
Could a stupid trophy also stab me in the back?
[1] Jin is the measurement of weight in China. Two jin is roughly about one kilogram
