Compared to the confused LMS players, the LPL players waiting on the court were much more excited.
"Good guy, ****," Xiang Guo breathed out a fragrant breath, "it's thanks to our audience's support that we can help us find the venue!"
"Handsome!" Jack clenched his fists and raised the corners of his mouth crazily, "What does that idiom say...reciprocity of courtesy!"
Kasa looked embarrassed. As a rebellious nin who escaped from the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan competitions, he could only say that he was unhappy with both sides when he encountered this kind of thing. He had to hide behind his teammates and act like a transparent person.
"What do gods and demons mean?" Kim Tae-sang was as confused as the LMS members.
"Didn't we play the intercontinental tournament in Kaohsiung last year?" Xiangguo couldn't wait to explain. "At that time, all the spectators were silent and cold-blooded when the LPL entered the venue!"
"I'm going to blanch you, how can this be unreasonable!" Doinb's fists were hardened, and he was immediately filled with righteous indignation, "LMS is going too far!"
"Aren't we going to kill them?" He yelled, as if he had hyperthyroidism, "Are we going to fight Machi? Wait, we must give these people some color!"
Gu Xing glanced at him and suddenly felt that Jin Taixiang seemed to be overreacting. He felt that he was more excited than some domestic players.
Why are you, a Han countryman, so excited about our own affairs?
Gu Xing was puzzled. Is there something wrong?
But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason. Gu Xing had no choice but to clear his mind for the time being and stand in the waiting passage and look towards the audience.
The venue is very large, and all you can see are the giant cheering lights of various clubs shining in the stands. The rest are hidden in the darkness, with only cheering sticks providing scattered light.
But it doesn't matter, there is a big screen right in front of Gu Xing.
The director knew very well. When the audience of 18,000 people remained silent, he specially showed the picture to the stands to help Gu Xing see clearly what was going on.
The vast majority of the audience watched indifferently, while a small number of fun-loving people were playing with their mobile phones, presumably posting about their experiences on places like Kangba Weibo.
As the crane camera passed over the stands, a die-hard fan wearing a VG uniform suddenly waved the tablet in his hand to attract the director's attention.
As expected, the director gave him the "world is focused on you" treatment and zoomed in on him for a close-up.
On the tablet is an animated picture.
Inside, Gu Xing stood up from the player's seat, put his palms flat behind his ears, his expression was stern and arrogant, and rarely looked like his usual sunny and cheerful boy.
"Isn't this the famous scene where Brother Xing provoked the audience in Kaohsiung during last year's Intercontinental Tournament!" Xiaohu said with a grin, "I was browsing the forums during that time, and it was all about this animated picture. Now it seems to be quite suitable for the occasion..."
Gu Xing showed a helpless smile, "I can't help it. The resin of those Wanwan audience is really bad. If they don't fight back, will they really think I'm a clay figurine and make them lose their temper?"
There are countless netizens gathered in the LPL live broadcast room at this moment.
According to the scale of the competition level, although the intercontinental competition is not as good as MSI, it can still be regarded as a large-scale competition between competitions.
It also covers the two major competition areas of China and South Korea, and its gold content is considered to be the highest among many intercontinental competitions.
As soon as the regular season stopped, the audience naturally flocked to watch this intercontinental competition.
At first, when the LMS No. 4 seed entered the stadium, netizens did not hear the cheers in the venue and thought that Shiquan had silenced the scene, artificially creating a scene like the Dalian Library.
Now that they saw Gu Xing's animated pictures from last year, they finally came to a realization.
I see!
The plot of a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye has always been loved by the audience, and this moment is no exception.
In an instant, the barrage refresh speed increased by several orders of magnitude!
[Hey, dear, I think there must be at least 10,000 people at the scene. Can Jiang Zi work together? 】
[Sister Li is like this: I won’t offend others unless they offend me. Who made Wanwan do something mean last year? 】
[Okay, okay, humiliate LMS! I will teach them a lesson later in the game. It is best to bulldoze the crystals of this group of Wanwan team in 15 minutes! 】
[It’s a pity that VG won’t be playing FW today, otherwise I could go to PTT and enjoy Wanwan’s defense-breaking quotes]
Ren Dong saw that the stands around him were completely silent, and his heart was filled with beauty. However, considering his image, he still did not dare to laugh too loudly on the stage.
He pursed his lips, and after introducing the LCK fourth seed, GEN, which was renamed from Samsung, he continued to shout at the top of his voice, "Next, we invite the LPL Spring Split champions, Rogue Warriors!"
Doinb jumped out immediately, wishing he could perform a set of monkey fists in public to vent his inner excitement.
This is his first time participating in an official competition. The last time he participated in an international competition was back in early 2016 when he led QG to the IEM10 World Finals. That was also the first meeting in the history of Uzi and Bang. The gears of fate began to turn.
, although Bae Junzhi claimed that he had no memory of that game, the fact is that Bang Skateboards scored 11 kills and 0 deaths, easily winning a victory over Uzi's head.
Kim Tae-sang has bounced around several teams over the years in order to one day be able to stand on a bigger stage.
Now, he finally takes this small step!
Although the tens of thousands of spectators at the Dalian Sports Center were equally puzzled by Kim Tae-sang's inexplicable excitement, they still cooperated and cheered loudly to welcome the players from their own competition area!
The stage landmark showed the dynamic team logo of RW, and the word "Xia" on it seemed to be slowly fluttering with the breeze.
After Doinb settled down, he lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a while, and then suppressed the emotions in his heart.
It is indeed an intercontinental competition, and I don’t know how the stage design is better than that of the league!
He was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a loud sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami suddenly erupting from the scene!
"Let's welcome Vici Gaming!!" Ren Dong stretched his voice to the limit. In the end, he almost died, and he urgently needed Haokai to refill his oxygen bottle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The tens of thousands of spectators in the Dalian Sports Center instantly became excited, which was completely opposite to the cold attitude that they had previously received towards the LMS team!
Gu Xing strode into the venue with a bright smile, waving to the stands around him.
More than 10,000 supporters responded with even more enthusiastic voices!
Now that things have come to this, no matter how stupid an LMS player is, they can still react.
The local audience was seeking revenge for last year’s Intercontinental Championship!
They stood on the edge of the stage, whispering to each other and discussing.
The players were either involved or had heard about Gu Xing's taunting of the Kaohsiung audience.
It is the first time for some LMS players to participate in the intercontinental competition. In the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, they want to return the favor at the LPL home court, teach VG a lesson, and then return it to the opponent with Gu Xing's animated poses.
, let this double champion also taste the pain of the boomerang.
Of course, this does not include the spring champion FW members.
Flash Wolves players have experienced hundreds of battles. They played with VG from the mid-season to the intercontinental and then to the world. They fell to the opponent's heavy sword countless times, and they are well aware of the objective strength gap between the two sides.
We didn't even win when Wolf King Kasa was still there, let alone now that the team's biggest player Lu Run has gone to the opposite team!
Tell me how to win?
Assistant Snake turned his head and glanced at the new player from the different team in the same competition who was discussing a revenge plan, and his heart was full of bitterness.
Can you guys please stop causing trouble for me?
At the last Kaohsiung Intercontinental Tournament, the Wanwan audience went too far and even Gu Xing was annoyed. They chose a clown to cover the whole game, let Flash Wolf act as the backdrop, and put masks on our heads!
Now you guys who are cute and brave and not afraid of death, if you want to challenge VG's dominance, go it alone, don't get us involved, okay?
To the north, in the group stage before the start of the knockout rounds, the three divisions competed with each other in the same order, and FW still had to fight VG!
It's all you who do the adultery, and you let us do it when you get beaten?!
Snake was extremely angry inside.
Gu Xing didn't have time to think about the mentality of the Flash Wolf players at the moment.
That's tomorrow's game.
Today, VG will face LCK Spring Split champion KT.
The enemy is currently strong, and Gu Xing has no energy to study the subsequent enemies. Focusing on the present first is the key.
Ren Dong was shouting with all his strength, "It's still unclear who will win, let's see who can win the top spot in Asia." The players were about to leave the field to prepare for the next game. Gu Xing turned his head and saw that Chaowei's face was pale.
.
"Are you okay?" Gu Xing couldn't help but feel worried.
"...I'm a little nervous." Chaowei found it difficult to swallow, and crossed his hands and twisted them together.
This was his first time competing in a venue of such a large scale. When there were many spectators around, Zheng Zhixun became panicked and his hands shook.
Mentality has always been Chaowei's fatal flaw. Although he longs to become famous, he still feels a little stage fright when it comes to this.
"It's okay, don't act like a disaster is imminent," Gu Xing comforted, "Just play normally and focus on the field, and the outside world will not interfere with you."
Having said that, he still asked the staff for help after sitting down.
"Referee, can you turn up the volume of our Dan's headphones?"
Of course, the referee would not refuse such a reasonable request. He turned the knob of the device on his waist to increase the volume that Chaowei could receive by several orders of magnitude.
"After you enter the game, fill up the sound in the canyon. In this way, after removing the game sound, only the voice communication within our team is left, and the outside sound is basically inaudible." Gu Xing gave a solution.
For this kind of tension caused by too many external audiences, the triggering conditions are nothing more than two types.
First, I always actively think that there are many people watching my game, and I become more cautious every time I think about an operation.
The second reason is that due to passive reception, sound-isolating headphones cannot block out all sounds from the outside world. The sound of cheers faintly pours into the ears, which makes people suddenly remember the vast sea of people watching from the stands on all sides.
The solution to the former is simple and simple. Just like what Gu Xing said before, as long as you can keep your attention focused on the stadium, you don't have to think about the existence of the audience.
If you just can't concentrate, then there's nothing Gu Xing can do.
The latter must be overcome with physical conditions.
The strategy given by Gu Xing is to turn up the volume of the headphones to achieve efficient sound isolation as much as possible and isolate all external sounds!
Chaowei nodded solemnly and adjusted the settings according to the advice of his supervisor.
Sure enough, when the volume is amplified, the scale of the sound waves that can be transmitted to the ears from the outside world becomes miniscule!
"What's going on?" Jack enjoyed the enthusiasm conveyed to him by the audience, and his whole person was relaxed and comfortable, "Blue Cat, are you nervous?"
Seeing Chaowei nod, Yu Wenbo then questioned in an exaggerated tone, "Isn't it right?!"
"The Rank score is very high. I was given the nickname "Three Legs in Hanbok", but my hands started shaking when I came on stage... isn't that the big Ge Yan!"
Gu Xing chuckled softly after hearing this.
"Who is Jia Yan?" Chaowei recalled it in his mind and confirmed that he had never heard of it.
"Kid!"
Jack's voice was so loud that Chaowei, who had just adjusted the volume, felt his eardrums vibrating.
"Ah... I have the impression that I often encounter him in ranked games. He is quite powerful." Chovy suddenly realized.
"That's awesome. He immediately got better as soon as he retired from IG..." Relying on his good relationship with Kid, Jack immediately complained sharply.
Then he brought the topic back to Chaowei, "Tell me, how can you still be nervous? I haven't experienced this feeling since I was a kid!"
"There are only 10,000 people in the stadium and your hands are shaking. If you were on the same team last year and followed us to play in the Bird's Nest with tens of thousands of people, wouldn't you be peeing your pants as soon as you get on stage?" Jack said with hate.
He said in a steely tone.
Chaowei sneered twice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, the referee behind him made a timely rescue and reminded the VG players to prepare to start the first round of BP.
"Come on, come on, KT wash your neck and prepare to die!" Jack geared up, armed with the secrets he learned from Imp last night, he was full of confidence and ready to fight.
Amidst the sonorous and powerful metallic crisp sound, the BP panel suddenly appeared before our eyes!
At the same time, the on-site LPL commentators were also refreshed.
"VG has the priority to choose the side in this game. After getting the blue side for themselves, they come up and disable the crow first. This is KT's usual routine of swinging from mid to top in the past two weeks, and the effect is outstanding!" Miller said in a loud voice.
KT still blocked the version of supermodel monster Gnar’s husband.
Although after the arrival of version 8.13, the designer has weakened Mundo and cut off a lot of the damage of E [Potential Inspiration].
But this is not Mundo's core skill. It doesn't hurt if he gets slashed, and he can still firmly sit on the throne of the single T1 big brother.
"VG gave Mata's bull head the second ban spot, and the main thing is respect!" Partner Watana expressed deep feelings to Sister Li.
Big Quail's current strength is declining rapidly, and those that are less affected are relatively simple hard assistants such as Tauren.
Matachuan can use the overall view to support the strength of the hero, allowing Alistar to appear in all kinds of weird corners of the map, catching VG off guard!
KT coach ZanDarC paced back and forth behind the players' bench, thinking carefully before deciding to send Luo to the ban position.
"Huh?" Wawa was stunned, "KT Li Zai Gan Shen Mo? Is the red side going to ban Luo in this version?"
In his opinion, after Luan was weakened several times in the spring split, he is definitely not worthy of the blue team's first priority.
In this case, the red side has every chance to bring out the legendary Phoenix combination of Xia Luo on the first and second floors. Together, they are also a strong duo that belongs to the first echelon today!
Miller couldn't figure out the situation either.
This intercontinental tournament is the global debut of the 8.13 version, and he still doesn’t know how much BP will change.
"VG turned around and blocked Ryze again. It's not that exaggerated, is it? Isn't it a little too focused on the opponent's top and middle position?" Miller found that he couldn't understand Redmi's plan at all.
According to the information obtained before the game, Kiin's Ryze is one of the best in the LCK, but Miller doesn't think it's worth giving VG a first-round ban!
ZanDarC looked normal and didn't seem surprised by this.
He chose to block Jack's signature Draven to prevent the VG duo from using characters that were too aggressive in the early stage and swaying Gu Xing to directly crush the team in the laning phase.
"In the first round of grabbing, VG decided..." Before the baby could finish his words, a character was displayed and locked in the hero selection box.
The venue echoed with vicious and bloodthirsty voice selections.
Listen to the extinct, dead silence!
It's the Sword Demon!
"I just bought the Sword Demon that was just reworked!" Miller was quite surprised. "VG is really brave. They want to use KT as a touchstone for the strength of the Sword Demon hero!"
Most of the viewers in the LPL live broadcast room also had the same view as Miller.
[Sword Demon? Send it, I don’t see the use of this B hero at the moment]
[Haha, don’t blame the hero for your bad performance. I think the mechanism of Sword Demon is quite powerful. If you don’t get better, you should look for the reason from yourself]
[The selected voice after the redo is also good enough. What’s wrong with listening to extinction? 】
[Can Sword Demon really compete in the game? With all due respect, as long as the opponent chooses a more flexible lineup, playing Sword Demon is no different from walking a dog]
[Yes, I played a ranked game after the rework, and I heard that one of the values is quite strong, but the stiffness of the Q makes me want to die. I don’t know how to hit the opponent with the Q! 】
[No one really thinks that VG’s Sword Demon will be too stiff, right? Look how thin KT is and that’s it! 】
[I do agree that Sword Demon has the strength to compete in the competition. Brothers who have watched S5 should know how perverted the hero that Riot has just reworked is... But is it too much to grab it? As far as I know, Sword Demon was killed by Sword Girl.
Iron Counter!]
Just as the barrage thought.
ZanDarC is also a fast-locking knife girl, and she also locked Lucian down!
At this point, Miller finally understood the reason why KT coach took the initiative to ban Rakan on the red side.
After the 8.13 version update, the strong characters in the version have experienced a major reshuffle.
Even though the mainstream environment still emphasizes early confrontation, after the addition of Sword Demon, in order to get Sword Girl in time, it is difficult for the red side to choose Luo in the first two hands. Instead, it must invest energy to grab other heroes with higher strength!
In order to prevent VG from getting Rakan in the second and third picks, KT disabled it!
Miller thought about this logical chain and took a breath of cold air.
The root of the establishment of the chain is based on the premise that both parties believe that the Sword Demon is worthy of the blue side taking the lead!
Is it possible that the sword demon is really that strong?
Miller thought about this and couldn't help but doubt his previous judgment.
Wawa continued, "VG got Vampire and Kai'Sa in the last two picks of the first round...it's still swinging!"
"Currently no one knows which path this sword demon is going to take!"
After choosing these two options, I feel relieved.
According to his assessment, the upper swing position prevails in the current version.
Because the competition environment places too much emphasis on line rights.
For this reason, many top lane warriors who are able to push the lane without thinking move to the middle lane to ensure that the lane of troops can be cleared quickly and timely. However, because the lane of troops on the top lane is too long and the world is one inch longer and one inch stronger, many mages will run to the top lane.
Bullying non-fighter heroes.
And because the red side has a counter position, it can often maximize the role of swingable heroes. It can decide how to split the line after seeing the enemy's lineup clearly, so that it can change from passive to proactive, change the splitting situation through the last choice, and grasp the situation.
Initiative for at least 1-2 lines of troops.
From Redmi’s perspective, there are currently five commonly used swing positions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sword Demon, Vampire, Sword Girl, Ryze and Crow.
He banned the last two in the first round and released the first three.
After taking away the sword demon, only the sword girl and the vampire were left to each other.
If KT on the red side gets all of them directly, the value of the counter position held will be greatly reduced!
Because the results of the split have already been determined, VG will be able to hold the advantage to allocate heroes!
If KT only chooses one of them, then VG will not lose money if they get the remaining swing hero!
After all, being on the blue side, you don’t have the initiative to swing positions. It’s not a bad idea to first identify the heroes in the middle and upper lanes. Anyway, the current versions of Sword Demon and Vampire are quite strong.
No matter which way you choose, VG will win!
ZanDarC smiled broadly and covered his mouth with his notebook, not wanting the other party to see his joy from the bottom of his heart. He was a pig girl who thought of herself as a member of the team and got the jungle position.
"Sejuani? No problem. The 8.12 version has just been strengthened, and now it is quite solid as a front row and group starting point!" Wawa said.
In version 8.12, Pig Girl deleted the cooldown time of E [Eternal Frozen Realm] against non-heroic units in order to increase Sejuani's originally relatively weak clearing speed!
Entering the second round of BP, KT banned Kind Jue and Troll, two jungle heroes who had an advantage against tank heroes, in an effort to limit Gu Xing's performance.
VG, on the other hand, was quite satisfactory. They blocked Braum and Shen, who were very good assistants with Lucian, in an attempt to put Mata into a predicament with no hero to choose from.
"In KT's fourth pick, it's okay to get Morgana..." Miller's smile was full of gloating. "Since we've put it in the fourth pick to get support, we have to accept the poor compatibility with Lucian.
ah!"
In his opinion, the combination of Lu Xian and Morgana poses no threat. The only way to take the initiative is to remove the Q skill that relies on auxiliary bonuses. The ADC must use a black shield to slide and ride on the face to actively initiate a blood exchange invitation.
No matter which method is used, it is quite abstract!
Lucian doesn't even have a deceleration control. Miller doesn't know how Morgana can use Kai'Sa with E [Extreme Overload] in Q!
Even if Jack can pick up Q again, wouldn't it be enough to bring a purifier?
"VG took out the auxiliary Karma to increase the team's mobility, and coupled with the jungle position's wine barrel, the overall look is very solid!" Wawa was very satisfied.
"Beer Man also likes to add enhancements in version 8.13. At present, it is no worse than Pig Girl..." He expressed his understanding, but then he couldn't help but raise his voice, "KT, what kind of plane are you doing?!
"
“The counter position in the fifth hand actually made up for Verus!”
The scene was in an uproar, and the whispers of discussion came together and resounded throughout the entire venue!
"KT's Lucian is actually used to swing up and down the middle!" Miller finally saw the truth.
