As the last syllable of the theme song fell, the MV officially came to an end. Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Overall, Riot Games has maintained its consistently high level. The MV is highly integrated with the theme song, and the theme is clear and consistent. The legend will never die.
The two SKT mid laners had completely opposite experiences with ups and downs.
Easyhoon won two games in a row in the S5 semi-finals to help the team get the match point, but they sadly bowed out amidst deafening chants of "Faker" from the audience.
Lee Sang Hyuk was so proud that he won several championship trophies one after another. However, he failed in the most critical global finals and lost to Lee Ji Hoon's VG, missing out on a great opportunity for the triple crown.
Whenever one party is proud of the spring breeze, the other party will be lonely and unwilling, forming a sharp contrast.
But they will not give up easily. After falling to the bottom, they still work hard to climb to the top. They rely on their undying high morale! It is precisely because of this that the two of them can create legends and become the only two people in the history of League of Legends.
A double S crown mid laner!
Just like what Riot said at the beginning of the MV: There is no end to the perfection of skills, and the names of those who work hard will be engraved in history.
Gu Xing is quite satisfied with the arrangement of his scenes in the MV.
Although as the Hou Ye's assistant, his appearance rate is only the third person, but he is very important.
All the transitions throughout the plot are completed by him.
First, he helped Mr. Hou rise from the embarrassment of defeat, and then in the peak showdown with Lee Sang Hyuk, he gave the opponent a dragon tail swing and assisted Lee Ji Hoon to complete the winning blow.
Finally, after Mr. Hou retired and left the game, he guarded the Summoner's Trophy alone. It can be said that the cards are full! Gu Xing flipped through the comment area below the MV.
In just a few hours, the number of replies approached the 100,000 mark! Seeing this made Gu Xing sigh in admiration.
This year's World Championship is held in China, and the traffic advantage has gradually emerged.
Coupled with the high-quality MV and theme song, it is reasonable for the comment area to be extremely popular. [The animation effect and the theme song match well, right? The song is really good!]
[Is there anyone out there who can explain the Easter eggs in a video? I feel like the MV is full of details]
[Counting first, the Tigers won the LCK summer finals. The scene where the captain turned on R is a reflection of Sb's cannon barrage when he snatched the two drops of blood dragon from KT's hands; the snake girl turned the rock tiger into stone and stared at it, which corresponds to the last game between VG and ROX in the S game.
Pan’s Hou Ye R flashes...]
[Let me add! In the peak showdown between MV Yellow Chicken and Ryze, Xing Ge kicked Li Sang Hyuk away. This corresponds to the blind monk’s fatal chain kick in the S6 finals. I still remember Xing Ge’s kick over the tower.
,Faker was kicked in the face of the Marquis without even seeing his figure!】
[To be honest, the Ryze Yellow Chicken shadows during the decisive battle between Faker and Marquis were really handsome. One was facing him and the other was facing away, which matched the S5 champion skin]
[The last scene of the MV is quite interesting, hinting that Brother Xing, who lives in the dragon, will eventually become an evil dragon?] [The only flaw is that Brother Xing is not the male protagonist]
[There is a saying that one scene is enough. After all, the S7 MV tells the story of winning the championship last year. Brother Xing only played for half a season in total. It makes no sense to be the first male lead. If he can win the championship this year, then the MV will be decided next year.
It's him!】
"Master Hou, have you seen this year's MV?" Gu Xing turned his head and asked Li Zhixun, who was sitting next to him. Easyhoon shook his head.
Gu Xing handed over the phone.
Seeing the complicated expression on Mr. Hou's face when watching the MV, and his eyes seemed to be filled with a little nostalgia, he couldn't help but ask, "How do you evaluate it?" Li Zhixun was silent for a long time, "To be honest, I have given up my obsession."
He had always been obsessed with the unfair treatment he had received, so that last year he had been holding back his energy, thinking that one day he would vent it out against SKT.
But the moment he defeated SKT's dominance at Staples Center and won his second Summoner's Trophy, the obsession lingering in Li Zhixun's heart quietly dissipated!
This is also the reason why Easyhoon quickly retired from the professional scene.
He was relieved that he could not find another career
The goal of striving for the game is to bring talent to the coaching position to pursue freshness. Of course, the current decision to retire and transform into a coach is difficult to say is very correct.
"But I was really happy when I was partnered with you." Li Zhixun said seriously. The feeling of rising from despair and chasing the top is something he will never forget.
In just half a year, Li Zhixun was able to transform from a mid laner in the second round of the LPL playoffs with no hope of winning the championship to a double S tournament champion!
At that time, I was making progress almost every day, and I could see the growth of myself and the team.
In Li Zhixun's view, it's like he sprinted from the middle and lower reaches of his school career to the top of the list! It's incredible!
Looking back on it, Mr. Hou still thinks it was an extremely dreamy journey. Kuro sat in the back row and kept his eyes on Gu Xing.
Hearing what the Marquis said, he quickly nodded in agreement. "Me too!"
Li Ruixing patted the old man on the shoulder with a happy look on his face, "It's really fun to be with Gu Gu!" Mr. Hou was speechless for a moment.
At this time, the bus slowly stopped at the Peninsula United Hotel.
"It's already very late, everyone, hurry up," Jin Yibo commanded, "The three teams participating in the S competition will stay on the 7th floor, and the training group will stay on the 5th floor!"
The two teams cannot live together.
After all, the three representative teams are directly invited by Riot Games and live in the same living area as the participating teams from other regions. As for the LPL sparring team, Tencent reimburses hotel expenses out of its own pocket.
A large group of people pushed their suitcases into the hotel lobby.
Gu Xing was discussing room allocation with his teammates when he suddenly heard someone calling him in broken Chinese.
"Shu Gu!" A short man with a bit of Mediterranean tendencies rushed towards him and hugged him, his face almost burst into laughter, "I miss you so much!" G2 had obviously just arrived in Wuhan and was squeezing in.
Checking in at the front desk, I happened to meet the LPL team.
Gu Xing's waist was tightly held by the opponent, and he could hardly breathe.
"Luka, your fitness results are quite good." He complimented helplessly.
"That's natural," Ah P said proudly, bending his arms to show off his muscles, "We in the European Division have nothing but plenty of free time!"
If you want to rank the hard work of e-sports players in the five major regions, North America is undoubtedly the last one. They are unwilling to work eight hours a day and have to take two days off on weekends.
In Europe, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the working hours are about 10 hours a day, with one day off a week.
As for LPL and LCK, how can you sleep at your age without training for 14 hours a day?
Holidays all depend on fate. If you don’t have a suitable opportunity or the team is in poor shape recently, you have to continue to work overtime and train! Ah P learned about the intensity of LPL training from Gu Shengbin, and now he can show off a few words in front of Gu Xing
.
"You can come here if you think it's good," Perkz finally said, "The work here is easy and we have plenty of time to keep fit and extend your career. If you play in IPL for two and a half years, you can play in Europe for at least five years.
In terms of overall salary, it’s definitely not low!”
He never gave up the idea of recruiting Gu Xing.
It has to be said that even if Perkz is not a professional player, he is still a good headhunter.
After playing four games last year, he picked the new G2 team by word of mouth. During the transfer period every year, he would even hold a "perkz pool party" to invite players he thought were strong to discuss the transfer period.
"And we have a lot of fun here," Ah P said with a mischievous smile, "I and I just went to the Big Bird Bar two days ago. If you come, we can come together!"
"Is the Big Bird a toy of gods and demons?" Gu Xing asked the question because he didn't know why. Perkz showed a mysterious smile.
Before he could speak slowly, Kuro was very alert, "Li Zai Gan God Demon?"
Like an old hen protecting its chicks, Li Ruixing immediately covered Gu Xing's retreat, "Perkz, don't try any dirty tricks, the transfer period is still early!" "Besides, Gu Xing will never come to you, so just give up!"
Jankos on the side also felt aggrieved. What do you mean?
Eating the food in the bowl and looking at the food in the pot? I am a spare tire!
"Brother, what did I do to dissatisfy you?" He muttered to himself, with a very resentful look on his face. Perkz smiled awkwardly, pretending that what just happened didn't happen.
"Oh, my old friend, close the account!" He turned to Li Yuanhao and stretched out his arms with a bright smile on his face, "I miss you so much!" Xiaohu chuckled, "Don't get involved, I'll see you in two days.
How could I smash you to pieces in the group stage?"
Perkz shook his head, "Come on then, my sword is already hungry..."
"I heard that your witch is very powerful, but I think it's not bad at all. How about giving it a try in the group stage?"
Gu Xing had no time to care about them. After getting the room card, he quickly went to the room to take a shower and then had a good sleep to recharge his batteries and prepare for the subsequent training.
When he got up the next day, he opened the curtains and realized how good the conditions of the hotel booked by Fist were. The Peninsula United Hotel is backed by Houguan Lake.
The room on the 7th floor where Gu Xing is located is high enough. When you open the curtains, you can take in the entire lake. The scenery looks delicate and refined against the backdrop of green vegetation.
The Yangtze River not far away no longer roars restlessly in the summer. It was gentle in early autumn and is now flowing quietly, wrapping the giant ship on the riverside with gentle waves.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning was not diluted by the thin clouds, but shone straight on the river, causing golden waves. "The needle cannot poke," Gu Xing sighed, "Living by the lake, the needle cannot poke...
·······》
He felt that the scenery of the Peninsula United Hotel was similar to the Ningbo Mansion he purchased. The surrounding water scenery was particularly eye-catching.
Thinking that he would be able to enjoy such a view every day in the future, Gu Xing felt very happy. After washing, he went to the training room at the end of the corridor.
As usual, Riot has booked several conference rooms and transformed them into training rooms for the teams to use.
Gu Xing was not surprised that some members of the sparring group had never participated in an international competition. He felt extremely novel about this and looked around to satisfy his curiosity.
Jin Yibo quickly urged the members to get into their positions and organized each team to practice in pairs according to the intercontinental competition model.
Since the three LPL teams belong to different groups, there is no need to hide your weakness at the moment. If you want to fight a civil war, you have to wait until at least the quarterfinals. Before that, the most important thing is to communicate with each other!
The training content in the afternoon of the first day was mainly about catching strong heroes in the version.
Combining the data feedback from the recent qualifying matches and the performance during the sparring period, each coaching staff slowly explored and discovered the characters suitable for the 7.18 version in the arena environment.
Riot Games' two consecutive small patches before the World Championship version were mainly technical adjustments and did not significantly weaken the enhanced characters. As a result, there were no large-scale changes to the strong heroes on the field.
It's nothing more than a change in the priority of strength and weakness.
In one afternoon, the 30-person team managed to sort out all the powerful heroes in the early version.
It went extremely smoothly. During dinner, everyone gathered in the training room and laughed happily, reviewing the battle videos and arresting war criminals in each game.
"Mingkai, what are you doing with your ultimate move?" Gu Xing held the celery between his hands and joked with a smile, "You won't let go of F6, and you won't let go of the high ground either. You can keep it to go home and raise the cubs!"
Gui Jiao Qi retorted, "You think you're playing well? You've been researching and developing a new jungler all afternoon, but you haven't seen any results at all. Team fights are a mess. How many times have you died suddenly? I don't know.
Thought you were possessed by Jack Dirty Dancing!"
Yu Wenbo was eating braised pork. When he heard this, he raised his head with an innocent face and expressed his inner indignation in a crooked tone, "Baibei, you want to drag me in too?"
Jin Wenhe pulled out his cell phone and shouted in surprise: "Oh, did Riot rank the top 20 players today?"
Song Jinghao had sharp ears and leaned close to his team leader, "Let me be healthy!"
Gu Xing was very interested in this news. When he unlocked his phone, he found that Kangba was already discussing the results of this year's TOP20 player selection in full swing.
The selection scope is limited to players from teams participating in the World Championship.
From 20 to 15, it belongs to the captain of the weak team and the starter of the strong team.
Big brother Bilson, the North American duo, and Caps, a new star in the league, act as goalkeepers to witness the gold content of the selection. "Jack, you are 17th!" Duan Deliang reminded.
"See!" Yu Wenbo said angrily, "Fist looks down on people, right? Why rank me so low?" He thought about it and knew that the other four @ starting teammates must be ranked higher than himself!
What do you mean, you clearly indicate my position as the younger brother in the team, right?
If VG wins the championship, wouldn’t I become the fifth champion?
"There's nothing you can do," Gu Xing said soothingly, "Who restricted your playing style?"
Playing an ADC as the secondary core, even if Jack regained some reputation with a few unsolvable output performances after the emergence of the incense burner system, it was still not good in the eyes of the judges.
"That's right," Able immediately hit the target, "If you play like Uzi, how many levels can you improve?" Uzi was full of questions.
This has nothing to do with me!
However, Dai Zhichun is right about one thing. Leaf-type players are generally not rated highly by Riot Games. Kuro is ranked 12th and Duan Deliang is ranked 11th. The two of them are closely guarding the top ten.
[Of course we know that kuro plays a lubricating role for VG, but to be fair, he is just a little follower behind the jungler. The small counter-attack in the LPL summer finals is enough to prove his position in this team - just like in the Tigers back then It’s the same as before, but it’s just getting worse. I think this style of play is very abnormal and will definitely not win the world championship! The history of ROX last year has proved the correctness of my statement, let’s see what happens this year!]
LCK English stream commentator PapaSthy gave comments.
"Gan!" Li Ruixing uttered sweetly, "What's wrong with labor and management just liking to be a jungle follower!"
"Is this guy a piece of cake?" he said angrily, "I only like the French-core mid laner, and he doesn't look down on me at all!"
"Then you'll slap him in the face!" Sb said angrily, "Why can't I win the championship if I'm just a dog in the jungle?" Duan Deliang was quite satisfied with his ranking.
He is the best in support, so what else do you need a bike for?
Gu Xing then looked down, and the 10th place was Dragon Ball mid laner BDD. At the 9th place, he found Ah P. Further up the ranking were jankos and i.
G2 double C junglers appeared together, and the sixth place was bang.
As a legendary shooter, Bae Jun-sik deserves his ranking.
In this K-Summer Finals, he relied on his terrifying and invincible strength to help the team win the championship! Starting from fifth place, there is a threshold.
Little Peanut's delicate face came into view. No surprise.
The fourth is Dragon Ball top laner Khan. Only the last three are left.
"Ho ho ho, bro, Jiang Zi's ranking is high?" Song Jinghao said. Then he saw his makeup photo.
Sb suddenly changed his face at the speed of light.
By the process of elimination alone, he can know the identities of the top two. There is an enemy ranked above him!
"Second, second!" Song Jinghao clenched his fists, "Li Sang Hyuk, you are definitely second!" Gu Xing swiped his fingers.
The SKT icon appears.
"Handsome!" Song Jinghao's face turned red with excitement. So what if you, Lee Sang Hyuk, are on top of me?
Someone can cure you!
Gu Xing scrolled to the end of the post and saw his own photo.
