The first game of the LPL division is scheduled to be the opening match, and the opponent is the NA division.
It is worth mentioning that there are a total of 8 major regions participating in the All-Stars this time. The seed pool will be divided according to the results of international competitions in the past year. The 8 representative teams will eventually be equally divided into two groups AB to ensure a relatively balanced strength.
Not seeing the king will avoid the embarrassing situation of China and South Korea meeting each other in the group stage.
The LPL is in Group A, together with North America, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia; while the LCK is in the same group as Europe, Brazil and Turkey.
The top two teams in each group qualify in a single round-robin BO1, and then compete according to the semi-final BO3 and final BO5 formats of A1 vs. B2, B1 vs. A2, until the championship is determined.
The LPL was able to secure a high-rated opening match at the All-Star Game in Los Angeles, firstly because the opponent was the North American host, and secondly, it also relied on Gu Xing.
His popularity is really terrifying.
Compared with Lee Sang Hyuk's explosive fame outside the competition after winning his second career S championship in S5, Gu Xing is even better!
When Gu Xing took the bus provided by Riot Games and arrived at the North American LCS studio where the event was held, as soon as he got off the bus, he was warmly received by everyone, and the flashing lights kept flashing.
Xiaohu thought he was being welcomed at first, and just as he raised his lips to smile at the fans who came to support him, he heard the local North American onlookers shouting Gu Xing's ID.
His face changed at the speed of light, and his smile immediately disappeared without a trace.
The reporters didn't pay attention to Xiaohu at all and rushed to find Gu Xing.
"Virtue player, how do you evaluate the restructuring of this All-Star Game?" In the end, a North American reporter with a black and red E logo on his microphone got the priority to speak.
Gu Xing pondered for two seconds.
To be fair, he felt it was unreasonable to cancel the entertainment nature of the All-Star Game.
Everyone has been busy for a whole year, and it is hard to wait until the end of the season to relax. The right to enter the All-Star Game is to repay the fans for their support throughout the year, which is really reasonable and reasonable.
But what’s the point of playing a lousy main race?
However, after Gu Xing thought about it, he still didn't spit into his fist, but gave a reasonable answer against his will.
"This year's competition system is very similar to S3. Five players are voted by the audience in the competition area, and then compete for the championship through the main competition mode... To be honest, I came into contact with the League of Legends competition after the All-Star Game that year.
, so after hearing about the changes to the competition system, I felt that it had a retro feel and could bring me back to the memories of those years."
The Shanghai All-Star Game of the S3 season is the first time Riot Games has held a similar event in its history.
But it inadvertently created the tournament with the largest number of memes.
In the past, there was Guijiqi's "I will prove on this stage who is the best jungler in the world" to help Insec establish his position. Later, there was Shy who bombarded PDD with four guns. Insec also created LOL on the field.
The first roundhouse kick in the history of e-sports, PDD Rambo playing Li Mei Barbeque, An Bixin winning the title of Anti-Chinese Hero, etc.
This little All-Stars is full of famous memes that are very popular!
It was also the first time that mainland China was responsible for hosting an international League of Legends event, and its influence in the country was unprecedented!
It was after watching that All-Star Game that Gu Xing became a die-hard game fan.
"Of course, I think this year's All-Star discussion is not very exciting," Gu Xing told the truth in a joking tone, "It's mainly because of the lack of luck."
"The reward mechanism of the S3 All-Star Game is very scientific!"
That All-Star game was held as the main game, and Riot Games specially provided an incentive plan in order to mobilize the players' enthusiasm for participating.
The champion can get an extra spot to participate in the S game, and the All-Star top four can guarantee a guaranteed seed seat in the top eight in the S game.
The rewards are quite attractive, so everyone is working hard to add glory to the competition area.
The all-stars formed by the LPL are even aiming for the championship!
At that time, no one realized how terrifying OGN was. They just thought that they won the runner-up in the S2 World Championship. They were nothing special. The second place CJ was just a late encounter with the dark horse Assassin Star, which had no gold content at all.
Little did they know that this region, which would dominate the League of Legends for several years in the future, had made all preparations. It showed its fangs and easily tore apart all its enemies. It defeated the LPL in the final and successfully won the championship, bringing OGN the third place in the S3 World Championship.
A quota!
Of course, the most ridiculous thing is that among the ten players who participated in the LPL All-Star Finals against OGN that year, only King Pray entered the World Championship that year.
The 2IG3WE lineup composed of Shy, Insec, Anzhang, Madlife, and LPL has never entered the global finals in the S3 season!
Although Rat King Pray entered the World Championship as the No. 1 seed, he was defeated by a supernova team in five fierce games in the S3 semifinals!
That team is called SKT.
What the Devil got was the OGN third seed spot that Pray had worked so hard and fought for in the All-Star Game.
This boomerang directly pierced the career of the Rat King!
If Pray had not led the team to win the All-Star Game, SKT would have snatched KTA's bizarre record of winning the summer championship but not being able to enter the World Championship a season ahead of schedule!
The opponent the Rat King encountered in the semi-finals was definitely not SKT. Najin Black Sword showed that year that it was able to compete with the top barbecue stalls for 5 bloody games, and maybe it could win the world championship in one fell swoop!
But now, Pray can only hold on to the honor of two World Championship semi-finals, rely on age and seniority voting to crush the young shooters in the same division, and win himself another opportunity to participate in the All-Stars.
All I can say is that the fate is wonderful beyond words.
Gu Xing is sometimes very interested in the grievances and resentments between different players in the professional league due to various chances and coincidences. He always feels that there is a sense of fate at work.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If this year's All-Stars can get some bonuses such as a spot in the S game, he will probably go to compete for the championship with an extremely strong desire to win.
It's a pity that Fist is very stingy now. He just wants the horses to work, but doesn't even give them grass to eat.
The reporter was reluctant and wanted to ask again. Gu Xing was afraid that he would be forced to give an answer that he didn't want to answer, so he rushed to the backstage of the studio.
Facts have proved that North American reporters are not as fast as Hong Kong reporters.
Without any effort, Gu Xing spread his long legs and left them far behind, arriving at the dressing room ahead of his teammates.
While flipping through his phone to pay close attention to the public opinion on Tieba, Kasa rushed in.
Behind him were four other LMS players.
"Long time no see!" Gu Xing raised his hand to say hello.
Due to the restraint effect imposed by the makeup artist, he was unable to stand up and chat.
Kasa's eyes lit up and he immediately came over and started whispering.
The two took advantage of the fact that the makeup artist couldn't speak Chinese, so they started making encrypted calls.
"How are things going during the transfer period?" Gu Xing asked.
"The contract has been signed," Casa responded excitedly, "The price is quite reasonable, and we are still fellow villagers, so we can't bully others!"
The answer immediately appeared in Gu Xing's mind.
A nation of gamers.
Currently in the LPL, only the club created by the ASUS sub-brand is operating Wanwan.
According to the news disclosed by the league, they will be active on the court under another name.
RW.
"Okay," Gu Xing sincerely sent his congratulations, "Speaking of which, there is some connection between our two teams!"
What the Republic of Players bought at that time was the LPL quota awarded by VGP, so the two families must be somewhat related by blood.
"Hey hey hey," Casa began to rub his hands together, "Our lineup is quite strong next season, Nicole should be careful."
Gu Xing, a habitual bear, spread his hands, "To be honest, my ears are almost getting calluses hearing this kind of argument. When will you really teach me a lesson?"
"Every time, after getting beaten up, he would say harsh words, and then he would be pushed to the ground and beaten violently... The cycle will never end, right?"
Casa drum mouth.
He thought again of Ming Kai's famous saying that spread to the island.
Although I felt very unhappy, I couldn't find any reason to refute it.
"Wait," Casa said harshly, "Starting from this All-Star Game, you can't even think of beating me in even a small game!"
"I'm so scared," Gu Xing said in a very unflattering tone, "With your teammates, if they can beat us in LPL for just one round, it will be considered a success!"
Kasa said no more, turned around and went to actively prepare for the game, ready to let his strength speak for himself on the field.
In fact, the strength of the teams sent by the LMS division for this All-Star Game is not weak.
They used the strength of the competition area to connect Ziv, Casa, FoFo, Bebe and Snake to form a team - it can be seen that they really like to repeat words.
In terms of strength, except for Bebe, the King of Giggling, who relied on his qualifications to win the championship with the Assassin Star, they are all the strongest players in their respective positions, not much weaker than LPL and LCK!
Gu Xing made big words, but he certainly would not take his tactical preparations lightly.
After putting on makeup, I went back to the backstage lounge decorated by Riot Games and calmed down to read the information.
Xiaohu and Meiko, who entered later, were still laughing and joking. Seeing Gu Xing's rigorous and serious look, they quickly stopped smiling and were reviewing the version knowledge they had not yet fully grasped.
Wuzi deeply agreed with Gu Xing's example, and his expression was as close as saying to Zhongfu, "Look at this person."
As for Song Jinghao...he was still there. He took out his eye mask and closed his eyes to rest. The sound of the sheep that kept ringing last night seemed to be echoing in his ears.
It wasn't until Vincent knocked on the door and came in to inform the players that they were ready to enter that everyone in the LPL stood up and prepared to enter.
"Brothers, come on, come on," Gu Xing shouldered the responsibility of being the leader of this temporary team and called on everyone to form a circle and fold their palms together. "Although the running-in time is not particularly long, the same goes for the opponents.
We don’t need to be impatient when we encounter difficulties in communication, the enemy is not any better than us!"
"Sit down, listen to my command, and then win the game," Gu Xing said, thinking in three steps, with a matter-of-fact tone, "With me here, all variables are controllable, and everything is a matter of course!"
His proud resume and excellent strength have already made the LPL team regard Gu Xing as the backbone. Under his leadership, they shouted "Come on" to cheer for themselves, and then lined up in a row, holding peripherals and walking through the long road.
Waiting passage, ready to rush to the battlefield.
The LCS studio is where the regular season of the North American division is held, and photos of previous league champions holding trophies hang on the surrounding walls.
On the way, Gu Xing saw different versions of the senior brother's makeup photos, grinning brightly at him, as if he was giving free advertising to Crest.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being the true form of the North American Phantom God, and his dominance is terrifying!
But netizens all over the world know that it is useless to be a league fantasy god. As long as the world championship is over, no matter how good the impression is, it will be shattered in an instant!
Peng Yiliang will not be able to play in this World Championship, so he can only watch the excitement from the English commentary booth. Sneaky, the C9 shooter's female clothing boss, has taken over the baton from his senior brother.
Even if they are all eliminated in the group stage, there is still a gap!
The top 9 is definitely better than the top 16.
Gu Xing used the mouse pad to roll up the keyboard and mouse together and put them into the storage box in the passage connecting the waiting passage and the stage. Later, the staff would use the labels on the keyboard and mouse to put them in during the opening ceremony.
In the position of master.
The slogan for this All-Star Game is also posted on the door of the passage - abandon all entertainment and return to the purest confrontation.
"After the North American division, let us invite you next - LPL All Stars!"
The host, who looks like a fat walrus, has an astonishing lung capacity. He seems to be singing a tenor, dragging out his voice to heighten the atmosphere of the game.
The North American audience at the scene was full of passion and banged the cheer sticks desperately to welcome the team to the stage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "TOP, Smeb!" The host waved his hand and pointed to Song Jinghao's location.
Smeb showed his familiar sunny smile and waved his hands to greet the audience warmly.
After the Grand Slam, he gained fame and reputation second only to Gu Xing.
Relying on the outstanding performance of S5 and S6 in the past two years, almost like a lone hero, it has attracted a large number of fans in the outer competition area.
"Jungle...Virtue!!" The host suddenly raised his voice and roared with all his strength.
The audience in the stands immediately made a huge noise and cheered for the new king of LOL!
The huge momentum of the opening ceremony was all included in the LPL official live broadcast room, which immediately aroused heated discussion in the barrage.
[My dear, you can get so many cheers in North America? This is Brother Xing’s card!]
[What is the world’s number one jungler (international back-up)? Who else is there?!]
[Shi Yiye? He is clearly the number one LOL player in the world! 】
[Lee Sang Hyuk took two and a half years (S3 World Championship-S6 Mid-Season Championship) to complete the journey, but Brother Xing can solve it in just one year!]
If you compare it with the scant applause when Xiaohu appeared later, you can see that Gu Xing's reputation is really ridiculous.
Subsequently, Uzi has become a well-known shooter in the LPL outside the Internet, but the cheers he enjoys cannot be compared with Gu Xing!
In the follow-up BP, North American audiences took the meaning of the word "differential treatment" to its fullest extent.
Gu Xing just showed Qian Jue, and the scene was filled with excitement!
The sound-isolating headphones were not very effective, so Gu Xing suppressed his laughter and finally chose the blind monk.
After the incense burner was cut off, Kindred's status returned to the half-dead state it had been in during the S7 Summer Split.
Moreover, it is still a damage-overflow version. Crispy skin generally cannot withstand damage. In the early confrontation, Kindred is easily captured and killed by the enemy.
What's more, Qian Jue needs the cooperation of his teammates in the professional arena.
When Gu Xing was in VG, Kuro attentively transferred his troops to him and provided meticulous care, so that Kind Jue could get through the difficult nodes in the mid-term and quickly develop into shape.
But Xiaohu couldn't play this trick, so he had to give up in the end and choose a blind monk who was better at producing kills.
Then I didn't know where I touched the excitement point of the audience, and I continued to scream wildly in the stands.
Miller on the commentary desk was also confused. Wang Duoduo, who was more knowledgeable about all kinds of information, had to explain things.
"Since arriving in Los Angeles, Brother Xing has embarked on a violent journey to increase points on the US server. Every time he chooses the blind monk, he can score points like crazy. He has all kinds of extreme operations at his fingertips. He is the best in the US server!"
Only then did Wawa understand the reason, and he added a compliment, "I can only say that you are worthy of Brother Xing. Isn't it reasonable for the gods to block the gods and kill the gods and the Buddhas to kill the Buddhas in the qualifying match?"
On the other hand, Li Yuanhao showed off his signature enchantress and yellow chicken for a long time, and the audience was stunned and refused to give even a few scattered applause!
In the end, I had to lock down the strong version of Yellow Chicken, intending to pay tribute to the translator Hou Ye behind him.
Uzi chose the little yellow-haired Ezreal.
This hero has not appeared in the bottom lane environment for a long time.
In the S7 Summer Split and the World Championship, which emphasize the selection of big-core shooters, no one cares about it. EZ is a purely unpopular hero in the bottom lane, and is only suitable for the jungle position to roll up the opponent snowball.
But now I can get on the stage.
There are many reasons. The first is the revamp of the rune system. The Thieving Omen talent is very consistent with EZ, which can increase the speed of Xiao Huangmao's equipment formation.
In addition, the attributes of the Demon Sect series have been improved - the mana value of each stack has been increased from 4 points to 5 points, which can greatly speed up the progress of EZ's magic cutting and reach the strong stage as soon as possible!
It was as if Uzi was grasping at straws.
He really couldn't understand what the female gun Jin was, she was not as easy as Xiao Huangmao!
"Try to postpone this game as late as possible," Hongmi told his teammates before finishing the BP and leaving. "There are yellow chickens and small yellow hairs. Let's avoid fighting in the laning phase, and we can rely on teamwork to win in the mid-term.
"
However, he is still too idealistic and only relies on the strength of the BP lineup to consider the overall play style.
Or maybe they underestimated Gu Xing's ability to break the situation when facing weaker opponents.
The fact is that Gu Xing defeated the teams in the NA division in just 4 minutes!
It has to be said that in the S7 pre-season stage, Riot deliberately shortened the waiting time before the start to appropriately speed up the pace of the game. The time to dispatch troops was changed from 1 minute and 20 seconds to 1 minute and 10 seconds, and the first wave of wild monsters was refreshed.
It's one and a half minutes, so Gu Xingsu San is faster than before.
He reached level 3 in two and a half minutes, and then directly invaded the NA jungle area, targeting the opponent's prince and beating him up!
After hitting the enemy with Q Sky Sound Wave, it immediately triggers the second echo kick and kicks it up.
The enemy prince also wanted to use the second company of EQ to interrupt the movement of the blind monk and send Gu Xing flying.
The outcome of this jungle matchup is easy to distinguish. When there is not much difference in equipment and status, as long as the prince can interrupt the blind monk's second Q and ensure that his second EQ can challenge the enemy, he can guarantee the victory.
Fight to win!
But Gu Xing also understood very well.
All the prince's early combat power is concentrated on the two skills of EQ. Once the opponent uses combo skills to control and damage, they will be in a desperate situation!
As long as he dodges the prince's second EQ company, Gu Xing can't figure out how to lose!
Gu Xing touched his eyes midway and forcibly canceled the second stage of Q. He moved a short distance in the air and narrowly avoided the impact of the prince dragon!
And he also promised that he was not far from Jarvan IV!
Thunder breaks!
First, he basic-attacked the opponent twice. Seeing that the enemy was trying to distance himself, he successfully slowed down the prince with his second E's bone-crushing tendons. Gu Xing bullied himself forward again, using his passive [Storm of Wind].
Keep hitting the opponent with heavy punches!
Even though Gu Xing did not cause damage to the second Q, the price the prince paid was to lose his EQ!
Just relying on the attack speed of the Debon Army Flag, the prince is no match for the blind monk!
Jiawen knew he was outmatched, and the red BUFF on the opponent also had a slowing effect. It was difficult for him to distance himself by walking alone, so he had to hand over the flash to escape over the wall.
"Brother Xing refused to give in. He jumped over the wall simultaneously and continued to attack the prince with basic attacks!" The doll looked excited, "I feel like there is going to be cinnabar!"
As mentioned before, when the S7 World Championship version arrived, Riot Games had adjusted the armor attributes of the prince and slightly restricted the hero's strength by increasing its jungle clearing cost.
After the rune system was changed, the prince was the main subject of electrocution, and he didn't even have a way to obtain armor!
Brushing the jungle was already enough damage, but now he was ambushed by Gu Xing. He was as brittle as a piece of paper in front of the electrocution blind monk!
Gu Xing sent him away happily with his last punch!
The NA jungler put his hand on his forehead and showed a regretful expression, obviously not satisfied with his handling of the matchup in the Bonno area.
This year, TSM failed in the S7 group stage. Not only was the big brother affected, the jungle race knight was also criticized by the North American audience.
Especially after VG's documentary spread to the Internet, North American netizens became extremely angry at the games where race knights were captured by EZ one after another.
You can't even recognize the traps laid out by others, and you are being ravaged by Gu Xing as a toy. It's so shameless!
Therefore, they made a concerted effort during the voting process to prevent the race knights from qualifying for this year's All-Stars.
The final winner was the Chinese player Mike Yeung, who was the best rookie in the North American division of the S7 Summer Split.
More importantly, he will join the established giant TSM after the transfer period.
This is enough.
There are a lot of TSM fans, and they want to bring him up to see the world, and test the quality of the new jungler.
Unexpectedly, less than 3 minutes into the game, Mike Yeung was defeated by Gu Xingdansha!
There was a lot of commotion in the mouse stand.
[WTF, the prince is dead now? What kind of damage does the blind monk do?]
[TSM: Return it! Is it too late for me to tell you now? 】
[Don’t quit. Apart from Mike Yeung, can you find any reliable junglers in North America? Don’t be ignorant of your blessings]
[That is, being Virtue Cinsha is not something that is difficult to accept. Others who want to be Cinsha have no chance! 】
Gu Xing had no time to pay attention to the psychological activities of the enemy players and the audience, and immediately went on the road without stopping.
Song Jinghao's Shen took action decisively, and his E flashed to taunt Hauntzer's Gnar.
Gu Xing accurately hit the sky sound wave from a distance!
He was not in a hurry to use the second Q, but waited for the opponent to dodge and escape back to the tower, and then followed up with Echo Strike, relying on high burst damage to take him away!
Gnarl is already fragile, but in this damage overflow version, his error tolerance is extremely low!
Shen The blind monk's Ueno was unreasonable and easily sent him back to the spring!
After Gu Xing resisted twice, the tower was reduced to residual health. W Golden Bell quickly used Song Jinghao as a springboard to move out and return to a safe position.
Just a few moments after the start, the NA situation collapsed!
Next, Gu Xing trained the enemy in the jungle non-stop. After making the warrior jungle knife, he was still not satisfied with the damage, so he synthesized the black cut to maximize the damage.
Lee Sin, who uses damage equipment, is definitely one of the jungle heroes with the strongest snowball ability.
After Gu Xing had the equipment advantage, he didn't give the opponent a chance to operate at all. He kicked out with R, kept up with Q, and then connected with basic attacks and thunder breaks. At the end of the second stage of Q, he could easily complete the solo kill!
VG Ueno scored a total of 10 kills in just 15 minutes, completely penetrating the NA division's defense!
Uzi didn't even make the three-phase magic cut two-piece set, so he was pulled by Gu Xing to do the middle push!
The time point of the last wave was 22 minutes and 15 seconds. Gu Xing cut in from the flank, R flashed and kicked up the three enemies, and chopped the NA formation into pieces with the attitude of wearing a candied haws of sugar!
The high amount of damage caused the audience to scream in shock!
The LPL team swarmed forward, destroyed the enemy, and flattened the enemy's base, winning the All-Stars' first victory!
