The reporting process of the IOP is formulated with reference to international competition practices. Whether it is a post-match report or a report during the game, an application signed by the whistleblower and relevant evidence must be provided.Also, pre-match reports are not accepted.

Because there is no violation of the rules during the IOP competition, and it has nothing to do with the organizer, so it will not be included in the scope of supervision.

The reporting form of e-sports competitions is very simple. After the players submit their applications, they can only wait for the official results, and these results are often announced by the organizers.As for the more authoritative testing process and conclusions from the game company, they were briefly mentioned in the organizer's statement.

Among them, the analysis and investigation of the evidence is all in the confidential stage, and the verdict is over with a public announcement, which has strict requirements on the authority and fairness of the sponsor.

At the same time, it also tests the trust of public opinion in the sponsor.

Most of the private reports, in the absence of external influence, are all internal solutions. The organizer will give a reply to the reporter and the person reported, and the data files will be sorted and archived. From the application to the end, it may add up to 24 hours. nothing.

Maybe too simplistic, but justifiable.The judgment of game cheating is very simple. Whether the account of the whistleblower is banned by the game company, whether redundant programs are detected, and whether there is a problem with the game process, the conclusion is clear at a glance. It is not like traditional sports that require urine tests and blood tests, which is a lot of trouble.

When AM's DL made a report request, the first reaction of the staff was to comply.

They didn't feel that the situation was serious because they reported the opponent's cheating on the spot, but that the two teams who reported and were reported were in special circumstances.

First of all, this is the IOP sponsor Kang Ming's team, and then, the team he reported also belongs to the sponsor Ruifeng's team.This kind of internal confrontation involving the forces behind them made them dare not say anything more.

Prudence in words and deeds is the first rule in the workplace.

The referees and guides selected by the IOP for supervision are skilled workers who have relevant qualifications and understand the characteristics of the industry. Under such circumstances, the player bench next door responded directly and dimmed the lights of the player bench.

Looking from the auditorium, the routine handshake farewell did not appear, but the glass rooms of both teams were filled with people, and after a brief anomaly, the players of both teams walked out.

They all packed up their peripherals as usual, and never came back after going out.

"Let's take a short break, let's continue later." When Dongyue said this, Kang Ming's attention had long been lost on the commentary stage.

With a dignified expression, he held the phone to relax and finish sending the message.

"Dongyue, I'll leave the rest to you." Then she stood up and walked out while speaking.

Kang Ming must reach his own battlefield.

Because this was an agreement between him and Yun Yun.

"If AM wins, I will still file an on-site report." Yun Yun's words remained in his heart without changing a single word, "Because only on-site reports can leave 08's equipment."

Whether it's keyboards, mice, earphones, or mouse pads, these players' belongings will be put away by their owners once the game is over.

After the game, 08 is required to submit. No one can guarantee that what they get back is still the same set they used before.

Yun Yun is very aware of the timeliness and necessity of reporting. It is the best way to make a request on the spot at the end of the game, instead of going home after the game and writing the application repeatedly, waiting in vain for a verdict.

Therefore, Yun Yun has been waiting, waiting for an AM victory.

After the victory, it's their battle.

The auditorium has entered a short rest period. Even if the lights in the glass room are dimmed, the central screen and the monitors around the stage showing the computer status of each player will routinely play team promotional videos and game advertisements. These videos have been watched several times. , is unlikely to attract everyone's attention.

Weibo is always a window to observe abnormal situations. When the audience's first doubt appeared, they received a reply in less than two seconds.

Did you see Kang Ming today: I was at the scene. I heard that the computer was broken and needed to be repaired. [doge]

No matter how the other party found out that he was lamenting that the computer was removed from the player's seat in the millions of messages, the feeling of being able to get a timely reply instantly dispelled the sender's confusion.

Not only Weibo, but also forums and chat groups. Wherever you can meet Kang Ming's loyal fans, once there is an abnormal question about the player seats, there will be enthusiastic revelations from insiders.

Question: Why do some staff members move computers? ——The IOP computer is broken and needs to be repaired.

Question: Why did the two teams leave without shaking hands? ——Probably the staff told them to leave first, and it was important to repair the computer.

"Question: Why don't they accept peripherals?"

WO Combo: How do you answer Maggie's question?Super class!

The rants and screenshots of the core management group coexist. Everyone is active in various news venues. It is necessary to ensure that before the official news comes out, the people who eat melons will not deviate from the behind-the-scenes truth.

The baby is only three years old: I'm back, the next one.

The group of friends quickly refreshed, and the ID of a well-known insider on the forum appeared under the question, and the reply was: "IOP temporarily asked them to go to the backstage to record a promotional video with the teams in the second half. It was a bit urgent, so I didn't call them We shook hands, and the peripherals were collected with the help of the team manager. GodR’s computer did break down, but it was after the game.”

After the lights dimmed, someone came up to the contestant booth, but the audience couldn't tell who it was. The three-year-old baby's answer was like a panacea. Coupled with her reputation as a duck to water, she could take a screenshot and use it as a reply sample.

In this way, the administrators who dealt with all kinds of symptoms scattered around finally had an authoritative caliber, and took screenshots when they answered, occupying the high ground of public opinion in minutes.

Now, there is no need for the navy to enter the field, so it is important to block the wild guesses of the masses first.

"Leye, pack up your things, we'll leave right away."

Gu Chensheng opened the door quickly, and Le Ye, who was still sitting in front of the computer desk with no image, immediately stepped on the edge of the chair as if frightened, and said in horror: "Why didn't you knock on the door!"

The noble and glamorous image was gone, and Le Ye, who was immersed in anger, found that Gu Chensheng rushed in instead of apologizing and going out.

Gu Chensheng said: "You don't need to take your clothes. If you want to take away your computer, turn it off immediately, and I will take it for you."

"Escape?" Le Ye didn't know what Gu Chensheng was nervous about. He ate, drank, and had fun, and he didn't have any premonition on the eve of the war.

"Yun Yun won the competition, so he directly reported to 08. Before they get the news, we will withdraw from here first." He said as if his undercover career was completely exposed, and some criminals would come to kill him immediately.

Le Ye seemed a little incomprehensible, he said: "The group of cheaters, if they want to do something, they just make a fuss on the Internet, do they still have the guts to be human?"

"Moreover, now is a society ruled by law."

Gu Chensheng directly raised his hand to hold the mouse, and even though Le Ye shouted "Gu Chensheng, you dare to touch my computer", he still turned it off.

"Just pretend I'm worried. It's too unsafe here. There's not even a guard room up and down the stairs. Even if I bring someone to watch the night, there's no place to stand guard."

Le Ye saw him busy pulling the wires up and down, without the image of a domineering president at all, and asked, "Then why didn't you get me back in the first place?"

"If I just showed up and said it's not safe here, would you like to come with me?"

Le Ye shook his head, half-lying on the back of the chair, he was so lazy that he couldn't describe it, and said, "I don't want to."

"So, it's better for me to wait until such a critical moment to tell you." Gu Chensheng worked hard, and the computer host is not difficult to get. "Besides, AM may not necessarily win."

Gu Chensheng received the news from Kang Ming that if he wins, he will report it, and if he loses, he will stand still. He selectively ignored Kang Ming's natural optimism and made two-handed preparations.

"But I don't want to now either!" Le Ye was still sitting on the chair, not intending to move.

"Leye." Gu Chensheng stopped removing the stitches and said, "I'm very worried about your safety, even if you feel wronged, you can scold me whatever you want. Now, come with me."

His voice was low and serious, and all the snobbery of a businessman seemed to have disappeared.

He found the suitcase in the room that Leye used to hold the computer, and carefully put the host into it, caring as much as he did for RMB.

For professional gamers, the computer is life.

At this point, Le Ye felt that he was moved by the low profile of him squatting on the ground to pack boxes.

Gu Chensheng stood up, pulled the lever, and simply ordered: "Put on the keyboard, mouse, and earphones, forget about the monitor, and I'll buy you a new one."

"Oh." Indifferencejpg

When Kang Ming arrived at the player bench area, Zuo Zhou had already taken over all the follow-up work. He said: "GodR's equipment has been preserved, including the mainframe, which has also been dismantled and isolated. We are waiting for the official technicians to come."

The contestants have nothing to do with this kind of testing process. As long as the equipment is kept, the rest is to wait for the results.

Zuo Zhou was more concerned about the confidentiality of the news.

"It doesn't matter, my people are watching the situation." Kang was obviously very confident, "Although Gu Chensheng is still waiting, but for Weibo and forums, as long as GodR's people don't die, there shouldn't be a big problem."

Now that the reported situation is firmly limited to this small area, Kang Ming is actually more afraid of Ruifeng acting as a demon.

GodR is a team sponsored by them. In several meetings where the IOP organizing committee gathered to discuss, it can be seen that the representative of Ruifeng... is a bit mentally retarded.

It's normal to want your own team to achieve results, but to want GodR to take the lead in the promotional video of the competition, even Mr. Li, who is leading Anjia, feels that something is wrong.

Ruifeng attaches great importance to this team and intends to compete with DeGR and Laur under Delin.

This kind of debate between the forces behind the scenes determines the style of performance in front of the stage. Kang Ming will not get used to it even after a hundred games similar to IOP. It's really not suitable for his personality to be able to quarrel for a long time even if he is missing two seconds of being on camera.

In the end, they voted to promote the BME set by the core of the video.

At that time, the organizing committee's decision-making method for the debate was finalized.Don't look at the capital, don't look at the debate, look at the vote.

In fact, there is not much practical significance in such five-party talks. Kang Ming must be on Zuozhou, and Ruifeng and his friends must have reported to the group. I want to win over Mr. Li.

However, after Chen Xunjie personally took Kang Ming for a drink, he came to the conclusion that Mr. Li had no real power and was just a microphone.

Kang Ming, who has been tied [-]-[-] in the IOP behind-the-scenes battlefield for a long time, faced such a situation, he would definitely fight first and play later.Capture GodR, start the reporting process, let the matter come to the fore, and then duel with Ruifeng.

"Both teams are waiting for the situation in the waiting room. Given GodR's reaction to this incident, I gave the phone to their managers, but asked their managers to keep an eye on the players." Zuo Zhou said it as a matter of course, as if this kind of behavior was similar to house arrest. How normal.

Kang Ming appreciated his calmness.After all, once the person involved is released, this kind of inside information is likely to fly all over the sky.

They can trust AM, but they can't trust GodR.

"Ruifeng's people are on the way here, and the agent is probably coming soon, but it's useless." The more troublesome thing Zuo Zhou felt was the one that GodR's manager just told him, "GodR will sign up online tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It is impossible to postpone the cup, but to return the equipment to them is obviously not possible."

The peripherals of 08 were isolated in a lounge with camera supervision under the condition of full monitoring.

It was specially arranged by Zuo Zhou, fearing that Ruifeng would bite back, saying that they had tampered with it, and suppressed the matter together with the agent.

In the capital market, they can't trust Ruifeng, they can't trust the agent, they can only trust the judgment of the programmer of the game company.

That's the law that created the whole of Overwatch and represents authority.When there is such a cheating program that undermines the rules and the fairness of e-sports, it is impossible for gamers to remain silent.

In IOP, Zuo Zhou and Kang Ming are the ones who can make decisions.

But they, only have two-fifths of the power.

"Has the official notification arrived?"

"Maybe it will take another two or three days." Zuo Zhou's mobile phone refreshed the latest news, and said, "They are coming from the United States, their work has been adjusted, and the travel time is about the same."

In two or three days, a small cup match can be played from the opening to the final. According to the IOP process list, the winner of this match is AM. No matter how you check GodR, it will not affect the next match schedule.

However, it is another potential fairness that is affected.

If GodR really uses a cheat program, after being disqualified according to the regulations, IOP will face such a judgment and must conduct a rematch.

From the group to the [-]th to [-]th, GodR won all the way up and played more than ten games. These rematch cannot be played behind the scenes in obscurity. Every match between the team represents absolute justice.

Even if the opponent cannot win, this is the right of the defeated party.

Zuo Zhou had expected it, but what he was worried about was not this.

He patted Kang Mingming's fearless shoulder, and said, "Let's put some effort into welcoming Ruifeng."

When such a serious matter happened, it was impossible for Ruifeng's penny-pinching personality to follow their wishes, even if it was in accordance with the procedures and regulations.

The conference room was full of insiders. They had witnessed countless behind-the-scenes transactions and off-the-scenes wars. It was the first time they encountered such unreasonable and unreasonable face-slapping behaviors as UW and Delin without prior notice.

Even if it is just a small professional team, it represents the face of Ruifeng Group.

"Why do you want to deduct GodR's equipment?" As the big tree behind GodR, he directly gathered all the people in the organizing committee and condemned, "GodR is a domestic first-line team, even if it leaves the IOP, there will be games tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. What means?"

Kang Ming didn't want to talk to such people, and said directly, "GodR is open."

"It's impossible." Ruifeng's representative said domineeringly, "It's impossible for our team to do such a thing."

"Since we have received a report, we must follow the procedure." Kang Ming reasoned with him, although the man opposite him didn't want to reason.

The representative of Ruifeng was very dissatisfied with their behavior, and said: "It is the agency's decision to inspect the cheats and seize the equipment."

Game agents have the rights to promote and maintain Overwatch, and only the game dealers have the right to speak in terms of cheating detection and bans.Whether it is the usual list of gods or feedback and suggestions, they can only be released through the official channel through the agent channel.

Agents only have agency rights and have no decision-making power over the game.

However, the meaning of the agency is very clear. The account of the GodR team has been submitted to the game company for inspection more than 100 times, and it is still active in the game. It is enough to show that this team has no problems.

But Kang Ming and Zuo Zhou still did not let go.Zuo Zhou said, "No, we have to wait for the official to come."

"Official? An agent is official."

"John Martinez, Overwatch programmer, is in California, and he will take a non-stop flight from Los Angeles to Beijing at 9:[-] U.S. time."

The time difference between China and the United States is 12 hours, that is to say, the programmer will not show up in Beijing until at least tomorrow, and then transfer to City A.

"No!" Ruifeng's representative refused very resolutely, "One day at most, at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, GodR must take back his equipment."

From the perspective of a sponsor to protect his team, his request is reasonable, but it is definitely not what Kang Ming wants to see.They can definitely video show that there is a problem with 08's equipment, archive it and wait for the arrival of the program designer, and then ask 08 to hand over the equipment.

However, the paradox of the problem is, who can guarantee that the mouse on the video is the mouse used by 08, and the mouse submitted by 08 afterward is the one he used in the competition?

Now, they monitored the whole process and locked the entire set of equipment into a specially arranged monitoring room, maintaining the original state, and even Zuo Zhou didn't reach out to destroy the original state.

The fear is that it cannot be explained.

The information that Kang Ming got from Leye is very clear, this is just a common programming mouse on the market, it can be disguised as any signal from any manufacturer, it has nothing to do with the appearance.

The more Ruifeng wanted to get the equipment back, the more suspicious Kang Ming became.

GodR is just a team, but 08 is a habitual offender. For Ruifeng Group, which has a clear management of personnel files, even a team with a dark history like RealHero can't find out the past. Is it a work mistake, or is it intentional?

He has fallen into the conclusion that 08 is guilty, and speculates on Ruifeng's intentions with prejudiced eyes.

Maybe they are one.

"Let's vote." Kang Ming thought for a while, "Whether it is to decide whether to wait for the programmer to arrive, or whether to return GodR's equipment, we should reach an agreement."

IOP is not a place where he can make decisions alone, but he must stand up and ask the opponent to make a choice.

Kang Ming's voice echoed clearly in the conference room. He said: "IOP should give a fair explanation to all players who have achieved results based on their strength."

The atmosphere in the office was silent, and the representative of the sponsor, as the decision maker of the organizing committee, was conducting the voting session.

Their rulemaking has warnings and consequences for cheating.However, this does not mean that everyone agrees to follow this process. It is the so-called extrajudicial grace. If Chen Xunjie sits here, he probably needs to discuss the possibility of benefit exchange with his opponent from the perspective of long-term cooperation. sex.

At least, Kang Ming wanted to try it.

Make a final struggle behind the scenes controlled by powerful interests.

In the end, it continued to form a two-to-two deadlock, which was almost expected.All eyes are on Mr. Li, which is why he has received countless attention from all parties.

They are not out of respect and admiration for Mr. Li, but both parties want to seek the opinions of An Jia.

Generally, Mr. Li would not make a decision on the spot. He would either delay it for one day or two days.

This is also Kang Ming's goal.

When John arrives, no matter whether it is a businessman or interests blocking this path, they will use other channels to let the outside world get a fair statement.

Mr. Li is already very familiar with such a scene, and he asked in his usual tone, "It seems that changing a set of spare equipment will not delay the game, right?"

"Mr. Li." The representative of Ruifeng stood up immediately, "E-sports in FPS games, even if you change a corner, the effect will be very different, let alone the mouse and keyboard that the players regard as their lives. Mr. Chen's approach is a They are forcing our team to abstain from the game."

Mr. Li nodded and felt that what he said made sense, then turned to Kang Ming and said, "Since the American experts you mentioned haven't arrived yet, it's really not a good thing for the team to abstain. Mr. Chen might as well think about it."

"I don't think about it." Kang Ming quickly refused, not accepting Mr. Li's way of communicating with Tai Chi, "Because GodR is cheating."

Dead end.

Ruifeng's people did not accept such accusations, saying: "If GodR is proved innocent in the end, will your team be responsible for the negative impact caused by the team's absence from the next cup match?"

This is a threat.

Even though Kang Ming didn't mention AM in a single word, Ruifeng pointed the finger at his team.

Kang Ming's tone was quite tough. He said, "I've never heard of it. Reasonable reports should be held accountable."

"Of course." Ruifeng's tone was already very blunt, "Slander, slander, and rumors, AM is doing this kind of thing now."

The two seem to be arguing in the conference room.

Mr. Li, who is a neutral faction, suddenly came out to smooth things over and said, "There is no need to make this matter so serious. Don't hurt your peace. It's normal for young people to make some mistakes. There is nothing wrong with reporting, and there is nothing wrong with the person who was reported. Now the official comes. The people in the team will check it out and issue an announcement, and the team will go back privately to educate them. There is no need to make it so serious with a casual warning.”

After hearing this, Ruifeng leaned back.Mr. Li's words are obviously based on the point of view that GodR has not been hacked, but he still cunningly refuses to make a decision, because he has no decision-making power.

Kang Ming didn't like the behavior of An's representative.No support or no opposition, hold the key vote in your hand to smooth things over, watch the two forces fight to the death, decide the winner, and then stand in line.

"Mr. Li." Kang Ming looked at him politely, "Now two votes choose to wait for the official to arrive, and two votes choose to return the equipment, what does the An family say?"

Hearing this, Mr. Li opened his mouth, then paused suddenly, and said: "Since Mr. Chen's team has already won, and Ruifeng's team's equipment has also been deducted, the rest of the matter can be resolved in private. We are all friends, and it will be necessary in the future." We need to continue to cooperate. The sooner the competition ends, the less accidents the better. The news of cheating and cheating will have a bad impact on anyone. IOP is a large-scale competition that everyone invests in and sponsors, and it has international presence. After gaining fame, the response of the first issue was good, and we can do the second issue. Maintaining a good reputation is much more important than those who are just. In my opinion, it is better to return the equipment to the team first, and wait for the agent to go. Check, they understand the things in the game better. If the two of you are worried, you can send someone to communicate with you, but don’t overdo it. After the results come out, it’s very easy for young people to make mistakes. Normal things, when everyone has cheating, these things are resolved privately, so there is no need to put them on the table."

"It's just a game cheat, it's not that serious."

"Bang——" Kang Ming slammed the table and stood up, his eyes were fierce, and the 1.8-meter tall man stood up to bring infinite oppression to the conference room, and said as if intimidating: "Mr. Li, please pay attention to your words, Cheating in a professional game is not a simple matter, and don’t just say that anyone will make such an irresponsible judgment. Seriously speaking, using cheating programs in the e-sports professional circle is tantamount to trampling on the dreams and pursuits of all young people. It is not an exaggeration to say that the bad influence caused is killing e-sports! Overwatch is just a game to you, but to professional players, it is their future!"

"This..." Mr. Li was taken aback by his raised voice, "I don't think there is any need to be so nervous."

"Mr. Li, are you speaking in the name of the authorized representative of the An family, or in the name of an individual?" Kang Ming's voice was a little loud, but he was still calm.

Mr. Li smiled and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

"I, Chen Lingdong, as the plenipotentiary agent of UW, can sit here and make any decision for UW. I also ask Mr. Li to make choices for Anjia with the same authority."

Kang Ming was betting that his family's Chen Xunjie had always been reliable.

Mr. Li has no real power. He wants to seek An Jia's opinion. Even if it takes one more day, for Kang Ming, he can gain the upper hand in such a behind-the-scenes duel.

Ruifeng wants to use power and interests to suppress people, and UW can do the same.

He said: "Now, I request to detain GodR's equipment and wait for the game's official commissioner to give a conclusion. If this delays GodR's game, UW is willing to bear all the losses of Ruifeng and the team, even if it affects the progress of the IOP game. We are also responsible for the funding.”

Every day of IOP, countless funds are burned.

Every item of expenditure is equally shared by the five sponsors. So far, it can only be regarded as a business that loses money and makes money.

E-sports competitions do not make much money in China. The live broadcast platform attracts some traffic, and the sponsors put up some advertisements.If it is a popular game, it is not bad, but Overwatch, as a brand new game, has not yet reached the level of mass dominance in Internet cafes. A game like IOP, other than counting it as a long-term investment, there is no way to expect it to return.Even if the tickets for watching games are sold out every day, the live broadcast room is full of viewers every day, and advertisements are placed around the clock, they will not be able to earn back the money paid for inviting the first-line international teams.

Like a charity, IOP creates a big show and establishes a pioneering image in the industry.

Now, Kang Ming's courage is comparable to that of a local rich man throwing money, and what he said did not take into account the sacrifice behind it at all.

But he didn't care about these, he looked directly at Mr. Li, and said, "Please An Jia give us an answer."

Mr. Li is a person who has experienced big storms, so he naturally wouldn't care about these young and energetic juniors.As the representative of An's family, he sat in this conference room, not because he had carte blanche from An's family, but because the An's family trusted him.

I believe that he will never go beyond the meaning of settling down and make major decisions without authorization.

Of course, he didn't dare either.

The instruction that Mr. Li received from Anjia was to supervise the safe conclusion of this game, the sooner the better.

However, he is not qualified to make decisions on behalf of An Jia, because behind this game, there are deeper things that these people don't understand.

Looking at the impulsive young man in front of him in a tactful way, he felt that Kang Ming was too sharp and didn't know how to hide his sharpness. Sooner or later he would suffer.He stood up, tugged at the hem of his suit, and said, "Then I will contact Mr. An personally and ask him what he means."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he looked at Kang Ming with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you are so full of words, aren't you afraid that the final announcement is an apology statement from AreMen?"
