In the end, Gu Xing’s teammate who participated in the Los Angeles All-Star Game was Song Jinghao.
Although all VG members ranked first in the voting for the three positions of middle and lower auxiliary, only Song Jinghao's lead was as wide as Gu Xing's.
Needless to say about the mid laner, there are Xiaohu and Xiaodi who entered the World Championship, and Broiler Xiye did not enter the World Championship. They are all big ticket-sharers with their own fans.
Coupled with the fact that Kuro's own play style is not very likable and he is just a loser, the lead in the number of votes is not that big.
Jack faced the encirclement and suppression of Uzi fans, and his votes were greatly diluted.
Duan Deliang's auxiliary position also has another popular player Meiko, so the vote share in the auxiliary position is not high.
In the VG team, only the top laner is the absolute leader - Gu Xing is so popular that he completely crushes all the players; there is currently no top laner in the division who can compete with Song Jinghao, and the blue-collar top laner style of Letme and Mouse is very unpleasant.
Hi, I don’t have an advantage in the number of fans.
Since Riot stipulates that the same team can only send up to two players, the quotas for VG's middle and lower assistants have to be postponed downwards and given to Xiaohu, Uzi and Meiko.
There was quite a bit of criticism in the forum about the selection of this year's All-Star LPL team. When Gu Xing accidentally entered the forum, he could see the complaints from the maggot babies.
[Why not let all members of VG go? Only two people can go, that would be too disgusting]
[That is, it has become a regional competition mode, and quotas have to be allocated to other teams? Are you afraid that the LPL will win? Riot CSYSM]
[I have a weak question, if I don’t replace all VG players, wouldn’t it become a repeat of the S game...]
[Guigui, it’s time to test VG’s strength in the jungle. I want to see if it’s true that GSL said that Uzi can win the championship just by changing his teammates]
[We will definitely win the championship. If you buy Smeb, Virtue, Kuro and Prince Duan into RNG, I don’t even know how to lose! 】
[That’s it, if Brother Xing can’t lead Uzi to win the championship, then don’t blame me for depriving you of the gold content of the double championship!]
The complexity of the comments on the post forum left Gu Xing speechless. He felt like a group of bastards and monsters were criticizing each other. He couldn't even distinguish the elements of Maggot Baby's comments.
Fortunately, Gu Xing is not a professional Werewolf player, and he doesn't bother to identify the fans behind each comment, so he just takes it for fun.
Of course, the core purpose of Kangba Maggot Baby's comments is still quite clear - you can only win, not lose.
It is exactly the same as Gu Xing's guess after hearing about the reform of the All-Star Game.
As VG has won consecutive championships in various international competitions in the past two years, the appetite of LPL audiences has been whetted.
The Waterloo of the original S5 season caused many netizens to lower their psychological expectations, thinking that reaching the semi-finals of international competitions would be considered a success.
It's a good thing now. If you don't win the championship, you will be a failure!
Considering his reputation, Gu Xing took advantage of the short break before the start of the All-Star Game to recuperate and recharge his batteries to get back into shape.
Originally, he wanted to start a live broadcast, but Jin Wenhyuk said that he would wait for the entire VG team to start broadcasting together after the All-Star Game came back. Gu Xing simply acted like a lazy dog and slept in at home every day.
During the period before gathering for the All-Star Game, there was a lot of news during the transfer period.
Among them, the most attention-grabbing ones are the wealthy clubs.
A major reshuffle is taking place around the world, and all kinds of information are dazzling!
The first is SKT. The double-championship club quickly made personnel adjustments after the defeat in the S7 season. Instead of renewing the contract of Huni, Untara was promoted. The original jungler rotation Clid was also traded to the African team.
Only Blank is left.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that SKT is getting ready to show off.
In front of 96line, Ueno is always a hindrance in terms of reputation and strength!
Having failed to win the World Championship for two consecutive years, SKT is probably planning to wait for another year.
This is okay, Sister Li.
SKT has never been a team that likes to spend big money to buy famous players. They prefer to rely on their own youth training to produce stars.
Not only 96line is like this, Ma Datou and Hou Ye also rose to prominence in the team through similar methods and eventually became top players.
Looking at the history of SKT's team building, currently only Huni and Duke's top laners were bought at high prices, and the rest all depended on youth training!
But it happened that when these two top laners were in SKT, the team did not win the S championship!
Therefore, it makes sense for SKT to want to return to the track of youth training and team building.
It's just that Untara and Xiaohei who will play next season are the types whose talents can be seen at a glance. Obviously, they are not like those shining superstars in the history of SKT.
It is foreseeable that unless the two are connected to Ren and Du, SKT will not be able to make any waves even if it enters the S8 World Championship!
When Gu Xing first saw the news, he couldn't help but sigh.
His feelings towards SKT are complicated.
As an LPL viewer, Gu Xing once regarded SKT as the strongest dynasty in League of Legends, with unparalleled dominance.
After becoming a professional player, he regarded the SKT members headed by Faker as someone to stand alongside or even surpass.
Now watching SKT fall twice in the middle of the World Championship because of him, and completely preparing to rebuild, Gu Xing's heart is full of emotions.
Perhaps the BO5 in the S7 semi-finals was the straw that broke the camel's back, directly leading to the demise of the dynasty.
Another big news in the outer division is TSM’s reshuffle.
The giant Liquid, which had not achieved satisfactory results in the past two years, began to exert its strength and directly bought the master brother of the Phantom God. The assistant Xiao Wang went to CLG, and the racial knight went to C9 to experience - this is actually the same as what TSM executives originally sent to Gu Xing.
The promises made when soliciting information are exactly the same. It seems that the management itself does not like racial knights.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In just a few days, TSM only had two solo laners left, and the entire team fell apart!
In comparison, the European division is much calmer.
The only news worthy of attention is that EU's most famous striker Ou Cheng has changed his partner.
The support named Hylissang was transferred from Pink Unicorn UOL to FNC.
Gu Xing had no impression of this ID. He just felt that spelling it out was a bit difficult to pronounce. When pronounced in Chinese, it sounded a bit like "Hello, giveaway".
In addition, the lineups of several strong teams in the European Division have not changed significantly and basically remain the same.
The rest is some fragmentary information, such as the emergence of two teams composed of talented teenagers in the LCK secondary league-GRF and DWG.
The players inside are all well-known high-scoring players in the Korean server. It can be seen that the youth training work is booming and is in a virtuous cycle.
The external transfer period is coming to an end. As for the local LPL...
Everyone is still holding their breath!
Official reviewers like to get the right traffic, and they always delay the review and approval of signing contracts until the end before releasing them.
Otherwise, all contract signing contents will be released as soon as possible. Laili Lai's popularity, Lali Lai's popularity?
LPL officials want the audience to spend the entire transfer period in endless discussions!
VG's disclosure of contract renewals for all members is an exception. After winning the double championship, the team has become a unique entity in the division. Ding Jun made a phone call and Jin Yibo directly approved the contract!
The remaining clubs are powerless and cannot resist the official power, so they have to wait for approval before announcing transfers and contract renewals.
Therefore, most of the information currently disclosed is content that the club can release on its own after the player's contract expires.
All members of JDG and NB have left the team, and the one that everyone is most concerned about is the whereabouts of Doinb; the last team of the LPL next season will be at Station B. Uncle acquired IM and renamed it Bilibili Gaming; EDG not only let Mouse leave
, and released two players, Loli and Zet, in one go. It seems that they plan to resell more players to free up salary space in the team.
After all, peanuts are not cheap, and Langxing needs a high transfer fee to buy them from Suning.
It is reasonable for Guodian to quickly get rid of all the players that are no longer needed based on the idea of saving whatever they can.
Time quietly came to December 5th. Gu Xing woke up early in the morning and took the high-speed train from Ningbo to Shanghai. He waited for the rest of the domestic All-Star teammates to gather and then flew to Los Angeles together - top laner Song Jinghao and coach Hong.
Mi had rushed directly from Seoul to America a day in advance, not following the same route as them.
The middle and lower three teammates arrived quite early. Xiaohu was chatting and laughing with Tianye in a drake voice, while Uzi was chewing gum on the side with a relatively serious expression.
Meiko saw him and immediately came over to strike up a conversation.
"Brother Xing, I have to rely on you this time!" Tian Tian bowed to the dock first.
Although he debuted earlier than Gu Xing, Meiko, who was born in 1998, is really a younger brother to Gu Xing.
Moreover, Gu Xing has shown terrifying strength in the past year and a half, making Tian Ye's brother-screaming effortless.
Gu Xing's mouth yawned, trying to relieve the drowsiness breeding due to early getting up, and to deal with the temporary teammates. "Don't stop, win the championship to rely on everyone to work together. I haven't touched the new version!
"
Uzi was very confident, "Everyone, work harder, we must win this All-Star Game!"
He is determined to win the trophy!
For no other reason than Uzi's lack of honor.
In the five years since his debut, he has only had one official championship in the S7 Intercontinental Championship.
In addition, there is no achievement!
Otherwise, Uzi wouldn't even try his best to win the solo championship. Players like Lee Sang Hyuk and Gu Xing who have won the S championship play solo games for pure entertainment, without much desire to win.
Now Uzi can only win a few more solo championships to support the situation and add to his wall of honor that is not very popular.
It’s no wonder that netizens call him a super soldier. He doesn’t even have a league championship, and Uzi himself feels that he can’t boast of it!
This time, after finally replacing a group of teammates, including the help of top junglers Song Jinghao and Gu Xing, Uzi is determined to win the All-Star Game!
After Vincent, who was sent by Riot Games to manage the players, arrived, everyone quickly prepared to board the plane.
The business class that Riot Games helped us book this time was not very comfortable for long-distance travel, but it was much better than the crowded economy class.
After Gu Xing found his seat, he sat down and picked up his cell phone before the flight took off.
The news of VG's entire contract renewal has already spread abroad, and public opinion has been fermented. Together with the transfer news and comments from other divisions, he was immediately pleased to see it.
[C8, what does VG’s entire contract renewal mean? Can it leave a way for other teams to survive? 】
【If you are confused, the designer will take action!】
[Down with Nicole, if Riot designers were really useful, they would have eliminated VG before the S7 World Championship. How could they have won another world championship? 】
[I promise this time will be different. S8 will be the year of the rise of LCK, while LPL will definitely decline!]
[@SK tele T1, look at how they maintain the strength of their lineup, and then look at you!]
[SKT are pure beasts, bro, we should drive the truck to the club door and let them know that the fans are not easy to bully!]
[Faker is only 22 years old, you want him to play with Blank and Untara? SKT, you don’t even have the face!]
Gu Xing browsed through it and felt that it was mainly due to the fierce reactions from LCK netizens.
European and American netizens are discussing the upcoming All-Star Game, believing that their own division is more competitive than the other side in this tournament, which has led to a routine battle between EU and NA.
[Let’s take a look at EU’s top lane selection...Soaz? Hahahaha, it really made me laugh. The old guy should go to the ground to make gold coins as soon as possible]
[It sounds like NA is very strong. Can you beat Jankos Perkz? As soon as the midfielder and jungler link up, just wait and see NA explode! 】
[Haha, why does Ou Cheng come out to play? If he loses the game, he just cries and buys some marketing press releases. After the game, he whitewashes himself and boasts that he is a god with four eyes. It’s all his teammates who are dragging him down...]
[Laughing, there are actually people arguing about who is stronger, EU or NA. To put it bluntly, how far our division can go depends on when we can meet the Chinese and Korean divisions]
Perhaps the last comment told the truth. Gu Xing saw that all netizens were sending crying emoticons.
At this time, the flight attendant reminded the passenger that the flight was about to depart, so he quickly turned off his mobile phone, closed his eyes and waited for the plane to take off from Wuhu.
The half-day trip was very long, and Gu Xing regained the feeling of traveling halfway across the world to Brazil to attend MSI half a year ago.
Facts have proved that the relatively spacious space of business class cannot withstand a 12-hour flight.
When Gu Xing got off the plane, he felt that his waist almost no longer belonged to him.
Uzi bared his teeth and suffered from an old back injury. He pulled Vincent over and asked if there was any place in Los Angeles that could provide professional physical therapy.
Li Yuanhao suppressed his sleepiness and kept taking photos with his camera along the way.
"Brother Xing, why don't you take some photos?" Xiaohu couldn't help but asked when he saw Gu Xing dragging his suitcase and not caring about the scenery in a foreign country.
"Oh, Brother Xing only came here last year, why do we need to take photos?" Tian Ye answered on behalf of Gu Xing, "Unlike us, we have never been to Los Angeles before!"
The S6 finals were held at the Staples Center. Gu Xing spent a lot of time shopping there after winning the championship. The place had basically not changed in the past year, so naturally he didn’t have much interest in watching it.
Xiaohu suddenly realized it after Meiko reminded him, and he couldn't help but be envious.
After the group arrived at the hotel and checked in, they dispersed. As professional players who have been sedentary for a long time, their bodies are already fragile. They were exhausted from traveling and traveling, so they needed to take a good rest.
Gu Xing's physical condition was acceptable, and he came back to life with full health after a short sleep. After hearing from Vincent that the training room provided by Riot Games had been decorated, he hurried over to play two ranked games to warm up.
The American server is still a classic high-ping environment. Even though the super account provided by Riot has a high hidden score, it still cannot resist Gu Xing. He chooses a blind monk to kill the pig and harvest at least 20 points.
When the sun was about to go down, all members of the LPL finally arrived.
Uzi had just finished physical therapy outside. He used black muscle tape to cover the area from his right hand to his forearm, as if he had had his skin redone.
"Is this thing really useful?" Gu Xing was very curious.
"It works, but it's not completely useful." Uzi rubbed the sore area, "Anyway, the pain is still fatal."
It was as if he hadn't said it yet. Gu Xing wanted to know where he could buy the muscle stickers, which would make him feel more at ease, when he heard Hongmi typing on the tactical whiteboard.
"Have a meeting before training," he declared in advance. "I know some players don't even play games during the offseason, so we have to start with version updates."
Hongmi distributed the temporarily printed information to everyone, with a faint scent of ink on it.
"The first is the rune system. This All-Star Game is running version 7.23, and in the 7.22 S8 pre-season patch, Riot has made subversive adjustments to the rune talents." Redmi quickly got into work mode and said
Raise it up quickly.
Next to him is still the translator Li Zhixun, who conscientiously conveys the words of the head coach to the players.
Gu Xing lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand.
Products such as talent trees and Intel runes have completely bid farewell to League of Legends, replaced by a unique rune recasting system.
Runes are divided into main and secondary systems. You can choose different branches freely, and when paired together, you will get different bonuses.
The Resolute system (Grasp of Immortality, Aftershock, Guardian), as the main system, can give the hero a 130-point health bonus;
As the main system, the Domination system (Electrocution, Predator, Dark Harvest) will provide an adaptive bonus of 11 attack power or 18 ability power;
The main system is the witchcraft system (Alley, Arcane Comet, Phase Rush), and the character will gain 15 attack power or 25 spell power adaptive power;
Precision system (powerful attack, fatal rhythm, swift pace) is the main system, and the bonus will be an 18% increase in attack speed.
The last special one is the Enlightenment system (Unsealed Cheats, Glacial Amplification and Stealing Omen). As the main system, it will provide an additional 20% of the duration of potions and mixtures. Then, depending on the selected secondary system, you will gain health points respectively.
Adaptive power and attack speed increase.
"It is worth mentioning that when the Enlightenment Rune is used as the main system, the initial attribute bonus provided is higher than that of other main systems. This is probably because Riot considers that the combat power provided by the [Enlightenment] Rune is too weak. If it is not used in the initial
Compensating for attributes will lead to an imbalance in strength in the early stage." Hongmi said eloquently.
"The information I have obtained from E so far is that the main witchcraft system is particularly strong. When Alley first appeared, the strength could only be described as explosive..." He motioned the players to focus on the patch notes.
Gu Xing thought it was outrageous after just one glance.
The earliest version of Alley provided 20-60 points of basic damage based on level, with numerical increases of 0.1AP and 0.15AD!
It’s so terrifying that it makes no sense!
In the early laning stage, it is an absolute rogue rune!
"Fortunately, Riot reacted quickly and quickly weakened it in version 7.23, but another extremely powerful rune surfaced," Hongmi said with a focused expression, "Arcane Comet."
"If you look at the numerical values alone, you may think that Comet is far inferior to Alley before it was weakened. After all, the cooldown time is much longer," he explained in detail, "but after Alley was weakened, Comet's advantages became apparent.
.”
"The consumption capacity is very strong."
"Because the rune system after the redesign does not have any stability for most heroes!" Hongmi's logic was clear and he slowly brought the topic to the point.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Currently, the only ones that can increase blood volume and double resistance are the Resolute system, but except for some of Ueno Suke's tanks, most squishy heroes will not consider using them.
As a rune choice, even though Riot has adjusted the hero attributes once after the rune system was reworked to increase everyone's armor and magic resistance, the double C is still much crisper than before!"
Gu Xing and others nodded in agreement.
The reason is simple.
When there was an old version of the rune system, the hero could choose the corresponding resistance based on the damage attributes of the enemy on the line, which could gain some tankiness and allow the crispy skin to hold the line in the early stage.
Now the revised version is better, the crispy skin only does damage, and the frankness is almost zero!
Arcane Comet, which focuses on consumption, took the opportunity to ascend to the altar!
As long as you seize the opportunity to consume two waves during the laning period, you can firmly grasp the laning advantage!
"So any hero who can carry the comet will become particularly strong in this version," Hongmi explained. "I see that the female gunner Jhin in the bottom lane, Zoe and Huangji in the middle lane have a winning rate in qualifying.
Above 55%.”
"This is also inseparable from the weakening of the incense burner. The income of the incense burner was cut off in half with a single blow of the fist. Now the appearance rate of the soft protection assistant is not as good as before."
When Uzi heard this, his heart suddenly dropped.
Listen to what Hongmi means, doesn't the bottom lane become a tool man and a monster, and Poke each other to consume it?
I'm not good at it!
Uzi was panicking to death.
The S6 World Championship held in North America last year had a similar bot lane environment, except that it was the Thunder that controlled the world at that time.
In that global finals, Uzi was very unsuited to the role of consumption in the bottom lane. He was usually used to using A to fight head-on. He couldn't handle long-range monsters at all!
Hong Mi didn't care about him, and kept talking to himself, "Another thing to mention is that Ornn and Yellow Chicken have been enhanced, and the magnitude is quite large."
All the skills of the Yellow Chicken have been directly improved. What has been replaced is that the sand soldiers can no longer poke guards and the casting distance is reduced.
Ornn is even more outrageous. He has been enhanced 4 times in the 6 minor versions since he landed in the league. It makes people wonder if the blacksmith secretly paid the designer!
"Maibo and Xiaohu, you two must practice diligently," Hongmi emphasized with a straight attitude, "At least you must be able to handle such a powerful hero!"
"As for the jungle... the changes are relatively small. The enhancement of the comet and single-line heroes will have limited impact on the jungle environment," Hongmi reminded, "but the hunger strike stream cannot be played anymore."
Gu Xing took one look and felt helpless at the designer's precise knife skills.
The knife of the fist hit the main artery. Originally, the Hunger Strike flow was to gain 30 extra experience points for each wild monster at each level behind it. Now, it has become 50 experience points for each large and epic wild monster at each level behind it!
It is simply unrealistic to want to recreate a group of stone beetles and chase 300 extra experience points!
"Guigui, the fragrant pot is going to suffer a lot..." Meiko giggled.
Both RNG C's had serious faces.
The people in the world who are most familiar with the hunger strike trend are they!
The incense pot style of play has been cut, which will directly affect RNG's results next season!
Hongmi clapped his hands and attracted the two people's attention again, "There are only so many major changes. In the next few days, you all should seize the time to practice all the version heroes..."
Time flies and December 8th arrives in the blink of an eye.
