On the match day of February 7th, when Gu Xing left the VG base, he found that bright red Spring Festival couplets had been posted on the door.
Before you know it, the LPL spring regular season has been going on for three and a half weeks, and the Lunar New Year is coming.
This game against RW is VG's last game before the new year. The training department will go on vacation that night and everyone can move around freely.
"Wenhe, don't forget to tell your employees to set a time in advance and release the New Year greeting videos recorded by the contestants on New Year's Day." Lu Wenjun also told his team leader when he boarded the bus, "Remember to draw another prize and send the signature team
Send the clothes and postcards."
Jin Wenhe hurriedly nodded and agreed, "No problem, we will show the microphone program and Vlog before the New Year. A video every two days will be enough to last until the New Year."
The VG Training Department has already been on the right track after two years of vigorous development, and is unique in the LPL region in terms of standardized operations.
They are one step ahead of other clubs to deploy at Station B. At present, the number of fans on a single website has exceeded 2.2 million. All other teams in the competition area combined are not as good as VG!
Moreover, the frequency and quality of video updates are well-known, and the number of views is increasing day by day, which can be regarded as a disguised way to restore some blood to the team.
"When are you going back, Gu?" Kuro sat in the front row of the car and turned around to ask his jungler.
"Well... tomorrow," Gu Xing replied, "If it's any later, we won't be able to celebrate the New Year."
It happened that I could go back to my hometown from the imperial capital with my sister and my girlfriend, and the three of them booked the same high-speed train.
In fact, Peking University has already entered the winter vacation, but Gu Pan has to keep an eye on E, and Shen Guanshan has to pack his luggage. After all, he will go to Paris for exchange after the year and won't be back to the university dormitory for half a year, so he has to pack everything in advance.
It is worth mentioning that the winter vacation of universities in France is not very long. It will be divided into three areas ABC for about two weeks starting from mid-February. Area C where Paris is located can just cover the Lunar New Year. Shen Guanshan Plan
Wait until the seventh day of the first lunar month to go there and prepare to register.
The two girls stayed in Beijing for their own reasons. During this period, they often watched VG games, and today was no exception.
"What a pity," Kuro said regretfully, "I was worried that you would be bored, so I wanted to stay at the base with you for two more days!"
"Oh, you're such a nice person!" Gu Xing teased with a smile.
Song Jinghao said sullenly from the side, "Brother Rui Xing just wants to get higher points with you in double queue, otherwise he will almost fall from the top spot!"
Kuro suddenly became anxious, "How could you accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air?!"
Meeting Gu Xing's gaze, he hurriedly defended himself, "You are just listening to Maibo's nonsense. The main reason is that I have nothing to do when I return home, so I want to stay in the base to get higher points..."
KR doesn’t pay much attention to the Spring Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival and Christmas are the festivals that attract the most attention. The New Year must be held later.
Even if Li Ruixing returns to China in the past two days, the professional players he is close to are all training to prepare for the LCK, and it would be inconvenient for him to disturb them.
Kuro, who was quite bored, felt that he might as well stay at the base and get free Internet access before going back until New Year's Eve.
It's true that I want to communicate with Gu Xing, and it's true that I want to score some points in the middle and jungle tandem. It all depends on what I say.
"If you're bored, just go shopping around the Imperial Capital. There won't be many tourists around the New Year, so you can calm down and wander around the scenic spots," Gu Xing came up with an idea, "If that doesn't work, just look for Little Peanut."
Huh? I guess he has nothing to do."
"That's right!" Kuro suddenly realized, and hit the palm with his fist, "This year's prosperous period is also here, so I have company!"
Song Jinghao complained for himself, "No, I'm not a human being in your eyes, am I?"
"You?" Li Ruixing glanced at him, his tone full of disdain, "Go and stay where you can cool off!"
Ever since Song Jinghao also showed his tendency to be a dog licker, Kuro has become territorial and always dislikes the other person.
Smeb was naturally dissatisfied and rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, insisting on teaching Big Brother a lesson.
Gu Xing couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the people in his house laughing and joking around. He took out his cell phone and went to surf the bar.
The post bar is as lively as ever.
Apart from the increasingly popular rating posts, the most eye-catching ones are the translation of information from external websites and the preview of various events, with a frighteningly high number of comments.
It has to be said that during VG’s two consecutive championships of dominance, it was not only the national server that reaped the dividends, but also competition forums such as Kangba were soaring in popularity!
{How to evaluate the S7 World Championship viewership data released by Riot Games?}
When Gu Xing saw this post, he couldn't wait to click in and take a look.
[The 2017 Global Finals champion and runner-up final broke his own record as the most watched e-sports event in the world——
This year's World Championship finals were broadcast on 31 platforms and 18 languages through 19 broadcasters, with an average audience per minute (AMA) of 34,407,266, an increase of 43.89% from 2016 (the previous all-time high), and
The peak number of simultaneous viewers was 5,500,732, an increase of 50.33% compared to 2016!]
The extremely exaggerated data made Gu Xing speechless.
When Mouse Channel announced the record-breaking ratings for the S7 World Championship on a single platform, he was optimistic about the overall viewing data of the S7 World Championship.
But even so, Gu Xing still had to say something horrifying about such astonishing data!
The maggot babies also reacted very violently.
【Wairui, what level of data is this?】
[I can only say that PC e-sports is the eternal god, leading by a gap!]
[The Bird's Nest is still the best to win the championship. I estimate that more than half of the game viewing data must be contributed by Chinese people]
[VG must have won the championship last year. I can’t even imagine how many copies of the championship skin could be sold when the Bird’s Nest won the cup!]
Gu Xing was filled with emotion, saved the post data to the photo album, and continued reading.
{The LPL battle is in full swing. The defending champion VG will face the new team RW at home. Who will win the undefeated golden medal before the year?}
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is a preview post of the event, and the author also specifically noted that the following data comes from E.
[Currently, both teams have a record of 3 wins and 0 losses in six consecutive games and have not lost a single game so far. Among them, RW is even slightly ahead in terms of average game time, with an average game time of only 28 minutes and 20 seconds, and the first 15 The minute economic lead is as high as 2235; in comparison, VG is even better in the neutral resource control rate, especially Xiaolong's control rate as high as 88.9%, which is 20% more than the second-placed team. It is completely a fault-type rule!]
[In terms of personal data, Xing Ge is much higher than Casa, especially the average output is as high as 525. He is actually among the mid laners. After I pulled the data from E, I have to say that it is outrageous! However, Casa's average gank per game The number of times will be higher, and he doesn't have a K-head, and only gets 0.28 kills for each successful attack. Basically, he gives up all the economy to his teammates. It feels like two styles of junglers]
There was a lot of discussion under the post, and friends expressed their opinions.
[Fuck you, will VG lose to RW?]
[To be honest, both teams are 6/0 in small games, and there is a gap. Who did VG beat? IG, Suning and RNG! On the other hand, RW won LGD and then beat VG's second team JDG, and won again before coming to the imperial capital. Suning, except for a common victim, the previous opponents of the two teams were not at the same level at all!]
[If nothing else, Brother Xing can definitely hang Kasa on a tree and whip him around. Does anyone really think that these two junglers are on the same level? 】
[There is a saying that a RW double C is really not weak. The Poison Coin Sima Old Thief should be regarded as the first double C in the World Championship]
[All the fancy titles are coming, and the first double C in the world competition... RW double C has been unable to even enter the S game in his career, so why do you have the nerve to come and compete with VG? Don't make me laugh! 】
[That is, if you don’t understand, just ask Poison Coin when will the next split between midfielder and jungler take place? Why don’t Baolan use Pan Sen’s support today to fight for the old thief’s self-isolation, and then go to the Flame Rat to live broadcast, everything else first Not to mention, the effect of the program is definitely a big deal]
At present, VG relies on its high popularity and tough foreign war honors, and there is already a trend of unified resistance.
Now it’s hard to find a maggot baby in the comment area who can speak for RW!
Gu Xing flipped through two pages and found that they were all words of praise for VG.
Take two deep breaths, calm down and prepare to seriously face the upcoming key game.
He won't get carried away just because of a few compliments in the forum.
Even if you just look at the strength on paper, you know that RW is very strong.
The midfielder combination formed by Casa Doinb is very strong, especially Wolf King. His tactical style that originally focuses on early and mid-term play is very suitable for the current three-core version.
At the same time, Casa rarely sucks blood. In other words, it can transfer resources and make teammates develop more smoothly. When the C position is allowed to take over the game in the later stage, it can snowball to crush the opponent!
This is also the reason why RW can compress the average time of points. The secret of the team's victory lies in team play - after all, the team's top laner is Mouse, and it is unrealistic to play solo. Team battles are his domain, usually one or two After the wave group is defeated, the enemy base can be flattened.
Gu Xing specially watched RW's team fight performance during the pre-match preparations, and he can only describe it as "pleasant to watch".
He will definitely not take it lightly!
After arriving at the venue, Gu Xing signed in and put on makeup step by step, then went to the stage to adjust the equipment and wait for the game to start.
…
"Welcome to the VG Arena of the Imperial City Ditan Sports Center!"
Remember to look forward to it and greet the audience with a loud voice, "The game that is about to begin can be said to be the most important event of the year. The two sides are VG and RW. They will determine the top spot in the Eastern Conference before the year!"
Partner Ze Yuan took over the topic, "I have to praise Karsa. RW started from scratch in just two months. The team members did not have any running-in during this period. The linkage tacit understanding is almost non-existent, but Karsa gave full play to the bonding."
The function of the mixture is to piece together RW to form an offensive blade!"
RW members wearing black and red team uniforms were chatting and laughing in the player seats. The word "Xia" on their chests is particularly eye-catching. As for the sponsors, they are Asus and its sub-brands. It is estimated that they can put together a set of family bags.
Kasa rubbed the baby to warm it up and wanted to warm his hands quickly.
Although the air-conditioning is turned on in the venue, the imperial capital is not covered in winter, and the temperature is still very low. Karsa must not be used to it coming from the treasure island.
There was ambition in his eyes.
After arriving in the LPL division, Casa didn't want to go back.
The salary is high, the teammates are nice to talk to, and the competitiveness is so much higher than on the island... Only a fool would return to the LMS!
The previous three victories were not valuable enough in Casa's opinion.
He eagerly wants to defeat VG as a vote to work in the LPL, and to prove that he has the ability to occupy a foreign player quota in the team!
"Start BP, RW is on the blue side, come up and send Qinggang Shadow to the ban position first!" Remember to cheer up.
"It seems that he is still quite afraid of Brother Xing," Zeyuan said cheerfully, "The Qinggang Shadow that Brother Xing used a few days ago was very effective and put unparalleled pressure on King Ning in the jungle!"
"VG sent Ryze to the ban position, there is no problem," remember to nod and confirm Redmi's BP idea, "Doinb used Ryze in 3 games in the spring split before this, and the winning rate was as high as 100%!"
Kim Tae-sang likes heroes who farm quickly, can bring lanes and support, and can produce half-tank equipment with strong fault tolerance.
In the current version, Ryze, who uses passive energy to generate shields, is simply one of Doinb's natural heroes!
Naturally, Redmi will not put it outside for opponents to choose from on the red side.
The head coach of RW stood behind Casa and kept flipping through the notebook in his hand.
He has an unusually large body, and standing behind the Wolf King makes people feel safe.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Paired with a head of curly hair, it has become the most recognizable appearance symbol.
It’s none other than Flash Wolves’ top laner, Senior Mimi Dan, and Steak!
After retiring from the S5 World Championship, he turned into a coach and has been staying with Flash Wolves. Last winter, he was invited by Casa and decided to abandon the dark side and join the bright side to gain experience in the LPL, which is in a promising situation.
Now I have done my homework very seriously, and continue to instruct the team members to carry out BP according to the pre-game arrangements to block Jack's Verus.
According to the information he has, Jack played 5 rounds of Verus in the first 6 small games of the Spring Split. Not only did he have a 100% winning rate, his on-field performance was also remarkable!
Steak believes that it is necessary to give this talented young man a ban.
After seeing Hongmi ban Baolan's signature Tamu, he turned back and blocked Song Jinghao's vampire.
Mouse in the team is a blue-collar top laner, and there are not many effective damage heroes. How to deal with Song Jinghao's strong single point is one of the problems that bothers Steak.
He had to send a ban position to target Smeb, trying to limit the top top laner.
Seeing that Redmi's last ban was given to Ornn, Steak immediately asked for the jungler's opinion, "What are you going to play, Kasa? Do you think it's OK with Jarvan or Swanee?"
"I don't think it's feasible," Casa objected subconsciously. "If we take these two characters, Gu Xing will definitely choose a strong carnivorous jungler to come to the jungle to find me."
Players on the same team did not show any doubts when they heard the name of a hero that was unfamiliar yet familiar.
In training matches since the team was founded, they have often heard junglers and coaches communicate in this way.
Since they had just arrived in the LPL not long ago, the two of them had not yet fully adapted to the naming conventions of the Chinese server, and most of the time they still used the naming convention of the Taiwanese server.
Swaani is the pig girl Sejuani. In the current jungle environment, she is a purely weak hero. It is difficult to invade the counter jungle!
After all, not everyone is Gu Xing and can use Pig Girl to kill Qinggang Ying alone.
Kasa doesn’t think he has the strength.
If the herbivorous jungler is invaded by Gu Xing, his overall rhythm will fall into chaos again!
After hearing this, Steak indicated that he understood the concerns of his jungler, and he had a prototype of the lineup in his mind. He turned to Mouse, "What do you think about using Gangplank?"
Mouse nodded vigorously, "Yes, captain, I'm good at it!"
The captain is one of the few carry-type top laners he can choose. Just like Baiyun's Qinggangying, he is an alternative bottom.
Steak thought that since the version was strong anyway, it wouldn't hurt to grab it, so he asked Mouse to lock the character himself.
Without thinking, Hongmi decisively won the combination of yellow chicken and bull head.
"Brother Coin, do you want to play God and Demon in this game?" Steak gave the star players in the team full freedom of choice.
Doinb made a decision after thinking for a long time, "I think you can choose a clockwork, and the brushing is not much worse than a yellow chicken."
Steak readily agreed, "Then Casa, you can play Li Xing, it's easier to cooperate."
After discussing with the team members for a while, Redmi's third pick in the first round decided to pick out a hero that is relatively unpopular in the professional arena.
Sword Princess Fiona!
Zeyuan on the commentary table stared, "Here we go, Maibo's Sword Girl performed brilliantly in S5. When we use her to face Mouse's captain today, she must be trying to break through at a single point and tear open the enemy's defense line!"
There was a lot of noise in the barrage.
【Guigui, Maibo is ready to kill!】
[Open a game and guess how many minutes Mouse can last]
[I will recognize Mouse as a real man if he can hold it for 15 minutes and eat two kilograms of rice fields]
[Playing alone again? It’s so disgusting! If you have the ability, come and play in a group!]
[That’s right, you’re smiling. Why do you want to fight in a team fight if you can kill him? 】
Mouse's face turned dark.
Do you want to go that far?
You don’t treat me as a human being, do you?!
The rabbit bites people when it is anxious!
He was gearing up and wanted to clear his name in the game.
In the second round, BP Steak aimed at the lower jungle, first blocking Gu Xing's Mantis to avoid putting too much burden on Casa, and then banned skateboard shoes, fearing that Jack would get the chance to form a double lista with the Minotaur.
Redmi is also stable, banning Sima Laothief's signature Kog'Maw and Sapphire's Rakan, one of the few late-stage shooters in the current version.
It is clear that we must put an end to forced openings and create space for the sideline Sword Girl to split push with the line.
Then, on the fourth hand, Jack was given EZ.
To be fair, Yu Wenbo's current proficiency in Xiao Huangmao is relatively average, but he really dares to choose.
RW, on the other hand, got the small cannon and the gem, and wanted to speed up and force the opening, so as not to let Song Jinghao do evil on the wing!
Gu Xing finally made up for the prince.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue side RW: top lane captain, jungler blind monk, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane cannon gem.
Red square VG: top laner Sword Girl, jungle prince, mid laner yellow chicken, bottom lane EZ Niutou.
The coaches of the two teams shook hands in the center of the stage, and Summoner's Rift descended in front of everyone!
