A slightly fat man with a strong-looking hairstyle reached out to shake Gu Xing's hand.
"This is the Director of our Academic Affairs Office," said the lady who had helped Gu Xing handle the suspension procedures for the previous two years. "You can just call him Professor Lin. He turned out to be the vice dean of the School of Mathematics. If you had been there earlier,
If you enroll in school, you might even be able to become his disciple..."
As soon as Gu Xing said hello, he saw Professor Lin smiling brightly and praising him, "You played well in the Asian Games, and you showed the style of our Fudan students!"
"As expected of a student of our School of Mathematics, we are striving to be the vanguard of Fudan!"
These words sounded very official. When Gu Xing saw that Professor Lin was followed by a reporter from the school newspaper "Fudan", he suddenly realized.
"The comment section of our official blog was full of discussions about you some time ago. It can be seen that you, Gu Xing, are very popular on the Internet..." Professor Lin could hardly close his mouth.
During this year's college entrance examination admissions season, Fudan University specifically asked Gu Xing, who was the first-choice captain of the Asian Games, to help promote the program. At that time, they were interested in Gu Xing's appeal among the student community, and the results were outstanding.
Gu Xing's gold medal in the Asian Games has made Fudan's popularity in the League of Legends circle even higher!
To give an inappropriate example, take Deft and Faker’s alma mater, Mapo Middle School. Before these two students became famous, 99.9% of players in the country had probably never heard of the name of this high school. Of course, Fudan’s popularity was originally
I don’t know how much higher it is than Mapo Middle School, but Gu Xing’s existence has played a certain role in promoting it. As long as e-sports and Fudan are connected, most players can think of Gu Xing.
On the day when the gold medal was obtained, it was even broadcast on CCTV5 and CCTV News Channel. Fudan official blog naturally did not miss it. They sent a special blog post - Congratulations to Gu Xing, a student of our school, for winning the League of Legends project in the e-sports category of the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games.
Gold medal, the reply volume exceeded the 1W mark in a short period of time.
This is incredible for a school official blog where usually only students of the school pay attention to and speak!
The comment area was full of Lezi netizens asking for an admission letter.
Professor Lin now smiles when he thinks of that grand occasion.
It is rare among undergraduates that Gu Xing made such a huge contribution to Fudan without even attending school for one day!
These are our Fudan students. Do you have students like this in other universities?
It is precisely because of this that Gu Xing came to Fudan to go through the formalities this time. As the director of the Academic Affairs Office, he took the time to visit in person to show his attention.
After the school newspaper reporter conducted a brief interview with Gu Xing, Professor Lin got to the point.
"Two years is the theoretical limit for suspension of study, but there is room for mediation," he took a sip of tea and explained slowly, "I have read the application you submitted, and you mainly want to take a leave of absence until around November, that is.
Around midterm of the first semester, right?”
"That's right." Gu Xing nodded.
I have already entered the World Championships, and I plan according to the time of the finals, so that I can return to school in early November.
"That's easy," Professor Lin reassured with a smile, "We don't have military training in our freshman year at Fudan, so there will be little pressure in the first half of the semester."
"The graduation requirement for undergraduates in the School of Mathematics is a total of 147 credits. The Asian Games gold medal can be exchanged for 4 credits at Fudan to reduce your academic pressure. However, there are also restrictions. General core courses and professional courses cannot be exchanged, but you can exchange the former
Don’t worry, it’s mainly about ideology and morality. The course is very simple. Just come and take the test at the end of the semester. If you say hello before November, you can ask for leave..."
He almost didn't mention that this was a basic course, and then continued, "The latter professional course, in the freshman year, only has analytic geometry and advanced algebra 1. Those are the two courses you have to solve."
"If necessary, I can give you the contact information of the teacher. Then you can look at the lesson plans and textbooks," Professor Lin suggested. "I see that you won a silver medal as a CMO before. Although the content of the high school competition is different from that of the university."
It’s a side story, but after all, the thinking is here, so it must not be too difficult for you.”
After sorting out the problems, Gu Xing suddenly became enlightened.
If you exchange credits with gold medals, there are only two professional courses left to solve?
What a joke!
Even if he doesn't study at all, he can still find his girlfriend to cram for the exam before he goes back to school.
Shen Guanshan is an inner disciple of the largest mathematics sect in the country. Wouldn't it be easy to give him some basic freshman knowledge?
Gu Xing felt relieved and followed Professor Lin's instructions to suspend the formalities for suspension of study. After registering, he asked for personal leave. He stayed in Shanghai for a whole day and had a hot pot meal with Ding Ran before turning back and rushing to Nanjing.
Sitting alone on the high-speed train returning, he had nothing to do but turn on his phone and browse the news.
The fierce competition in the LPL playoffs is in full swing. This is because the Asian Games training games take up too much time. In addition, there are many teams in the league and the schedule is relatively long, so it has been postponed to September.
Not only have the North American and European divisions finished their playoffs, but the bubble games have also been settled.
NA's participating players in this World Championship are TL, C9 and 100 Thieves. Among them, the big brother once again confirmed his gold content as the North American fantasy god, leading Liquid to become the summer championship.
The EU is G2, FNC and Team Vitality. The dominance of the Snickers team continues. It has won 4 consecutive league championships starting from S7, completely treating the competition area as its own back garden to win trophies!
Even the LCK has finished the finals. KT defeated Longzhu again with a crushing attitude, achieving consecutive spring and summer championships that only SKT had achieved before!
Longzhu has also secured a seat in the World Championship as the second seed with its points advantage. Only GEN, SKT and the new team Griffin are left to compete for the last ticket to the World Championship through the bubble match. The competition is fierce!
When Gu Xing saw Griffin's team logo, he remembered that they were the ones who originally competed with VG for super power, so he went in on a whim to check the player list.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The bottom line is that there are too few new forces now. Gu Xing went back and forth against just a few teams. He inevitably felt bored and longed for new opponents to compete with.
Gu Xing slid his finger and saw a baby face, who raised his hands toward the camera in a victory gesture.
The head ID is plain and simple - Showmaker.
Damn it, the fixer!
When he saw the newcomers in this team, he just felt itchy and wanted to meet them in the World Championship to see the quality of the newcomers in the LCK.
Putting aside the situation of the World Championship quotas in each major competition area, Gu Xing went back to the bathroom in the anti-bar.
It was completely different from the situation when VG advanced to the finals a few days ago.
Today's post bars are full of dog boys showing off their power and celebrating with hands on their foreheads!
They used to be fans of other teams to cheat on each other. They just showed off their cards. They took out their rusty dog tags and put them around their necks in one breath. They raised the IG flag and started charging!
[HZ and Zhu Zong are still screaming? It’s not in vain that I have kept a low profile for so many years, wearing the skin of HZ to lead the rhythm, and now I am finally proud!]
[Congratulations to IG for entering the LPL finals after four and a half years. Resurrection, you sons of dogs!]
I can only say that tracing back to the roots of Kangba is worthy of being a dog’s son.
The first batch of bar friends all migrated from the black WE bar. If you think about it, you will know that most of the people who fought against WE fans in S2S3 were IG supporters, and even the bar staff were not clean, so there were few traces of them from the outside world.
Most of the dogs are gathered in the anti-bar, making it feel like the Chinese New Year.
Gu Xing felt the lively atmosphere in the post bar. He scrolled down twice and saw the preview post of the finals that was discussed passionately by the bar friends.
[One thing to say, although I am an old dog, VG still has a greater chance of winning]
[Discuss rationally that IG’s top laner is 6 to 4, the jungler is 3-7 or even 2-8, the mid laner is 7-3, and the bottom lane is considered 4-6 points. I think IG’s chances of winning are not low]
[If nothing else, can King Ning Daxing really defend the jungle? I believe it!]
[It’s okay, the middle and upper routes are excellent, Ning Wang’s wild area must be impregnable! Brother Xing doesn’t dare to find trouble]
[Haha, is the dog son really capable of YY? Have you ever seen Fa in the Asian Games? Didn’t the Hanguo team also have advantages in the middle and upper lanes at that time? Brother Xing can still counter the wild core of Little Peanut! 】
[I finally understand. Did IG finally reach the finals and give Kangba Gouzi such confidence? Can the original team of VG World Championship Grand Slam be successful? You gods and demons champions? 】
[Brother Xing: Please invite the next talented jungler! 】
Gu Xing browsed the posts quickly and found that even though Gouzi competed locally, he could not overwhelm VC in the pre-game wind. Before the game, the number of netizens who were optimistic about their team's defense of the title was extremely large.
Apart from the vastly different size of fans, the historical records of both parties are also one of the factors that influence public opinion.
Netizens are accustomed to VG's consecutive championships. They believe that winning the final is commonplace and have unconditional trust in Gu Xing.
But he himself did not dare to neglect it at all.
Everything proves that IG is a strong enemy and is fully capable of attacking VG's throne. If there is any relaxation, the consequences will be disastrous!
After arriving in Nanjing to join his teammates, Gu Xing lived in seclusion. Except for cooperating with Shiquan to shoot official promotional video materials, he spent the rest of his time in the hotel pondering targeted tactics.
Time flies and the final day has arrived.
The Youth Olympic Sports Park Stadium was so crowded that even though there were 30,000 seats, it was hard to get a ticket!
After the Bird's Nest won the championship last year, domestic enthusiasm for watching games continued to rise, and winning the gold medal in the Asian Games added to the fire.
For an event of this level like the LPL Summer Finals, there are countless spectators who are willing to come and watch the game live!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, all the spotlights in the venue were turned off.
The spectators in the stands on all sides immediately became excited and shook the fluorescent sticks in their hands.
On the big screen at the scene, the countdown numbers started!
Thirty thousand people shouted in unison, forming a deafening roar!
When the countdown reached '1', the momentum created by the audience became more and more violent, echoing in the stadium!
The venue was dark, and when the big screen lit up again, it was the official promotional video for this summer's finals.
In the confined space where he couldn't see his fingers, Rookie slumped down on the gaming chair with his eyes closed, and impassioned commentary sounds from the computer in front of him broke into his ears.
"Rookie provokes, the team battle is decided! IG was attacked by the Snakes on the way to the 2016 LPL spring playoffs. They will be swept out by the opponent 0-3 in the eight-to-six match!"
"Another 3-0, IM's legendary journey continues. Rookie is unable to defeat four opponents with two fists, and once again stopped in the LPL quarterfinals in the summer! Can anyone help him?"
"Even though Rookie tried his best, it was still difficult to compete with RNG! He had no helpers around him and could only drag IG forward alone. Such a team system is destined to be unhealthy. IG's journey in the spring of 2017 ends here.
!”
The dogs at the scene were almost suffering from PTSD due to these scenes, and they screamed unbearably in the stands.
The promotional video on the screen was still playing, and two beams of light were suddenly projected on the ceiling of the closed room, shining around Song Yijin.
Rookie slowly opened his eyes and saw two tall figures with the help of light.
It is Gao Zhenning and TheShy.
The two are tall, thin and tall, with youthful spirit written all over their faces.
But the voice of the commentator is still high-pitched.
"EDG effortlessly defeated IG and advanced to the semi-finals of the 2017 LPL Summer Split. Rookie finally found help, but the two Ueno brothers we had high hopes for were too young and lost to the old fried dough stick factory director!"
"RNG's myth of defeating the superior has not been broken. The spring of 2018 belongs to the royal family. The Youth Storm IG that stands in front of RNG is just a backdrop after all!"
This time, before the dog son at the scene could express his emotions, two more beams of light came on.
The figures of Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang appeared in front of all the audience. The duo pretended to be cool guys with serious faces, but their big eyebrows really didn't suit a similar style. Those eyebrows made people look funny.
The four of them gathered together and stretched out their hands towards Rookie, who was slumped in the gaming chair.
Song Yijin handed over his palm and let the strength of his teammates pull him up.
At the same time, the voice of the commentary was amplified again, ringing in the ears of countless viewers!
"IG avenged the summer split a year ago! In less than 90 minutes, IG scored 61 kills. They wanted to retaliate to EDG with a score of three to zero. The whole audience was frantically creating killings without any mercy.
No enemy will survive!"
"Still killing, IG wants to drive RW out! My old swan... I have never seen a team in history that can kill from beginning to end like them. Are these people butchers in their previous lives? They don't have operations, that is.
Relying on the purest player strength to crush and control you! This style of play is completely unreasonable!"
On the computer monitor, IG members wearing pure white uniforms hugged each other to celebrate the victory, and Rookie couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Some of the emotional dog sons in the stands had tears in their eyes.
IG in those years can only be described as having a "challenged fate". Starting from the bottom lane combination, it took a season of hardships to get through the arrival of TheShy and King Ning, but because of the young age and paying tuition, I stumbled and failed to improve in terms of results.
How many breakthroughs have been made? As a fan of the team, Gouzi has seen them all and the journey has been difficult.
Now that they have finally gotten through it, the fourth generation IG has caught up with their predecessors and advanced to the finals!
In the promotional video, all the IG members, led by Song Yijin, forcefully pushed open the door of the sealed room!
It was also pitch black outside.
Suddenly, rows of torches illuminated the steps ahead.
The IG players climbed up the stairs, and as the height climbed, the Silver Dragon Cup came into view.
Song Yijin couldn't wait to grab the trophy.
But before him, a slender hand stretched out from the darkness and placed it first on the silver dragon cup.
Rookie looked up and saw Chovy's childish face.
And behind Chaowei, there is a throne!
The figures of Smeb, Jack and Duan Deliang slowly walked out from behind the throne.
The torches in the last row were lit at the right time, reflecting the delicate and handsome facial features of the man on the throne.
Everyone present knew this person's identity.
The cheers rose to the sky!
The Youth Olympic Sports Park Stadium suddenly became a boiling ocean!
Gu Xing stood up from the throne and looked at the IG team members with an arrogant attitude, as if he regarded the Silver Dragon Cup as his own!
The promotional video ends with a group photo of all ten players gathered together. The two teams are clearly distinguished, and they all set their sights on the Silver Dragon Cup.
The barrages in the LPL live broadcast room also exploded in a short period of time.
[Brother Xing is so handsome! The throne is in good shape, Shi Yiye, you are worth it! 】
[LPL has put some thought into this time, at least it is much better than the previous embarrassing promotional video]
[Okay, I’ll just shoot like this from now on, seize the time to lick brother Xing, and remember to create a god. How can a person who doesn’t even have grades deserve to be a porcelain? 】
[But why does VG play Jiang Zishao? Those who don’t know think IG is the protagonist]
[There are so many cat cakes every day. I have given you the throne and you are still not satisfied? As a challenger, it is reasonable for IG to play more roles]
[That is, how do you shoot VG? After introducing Brother Xing, it has been winning, winning, winning? It is obviously not as dramatic as IG’s decline and rise again]
While netizens were discussing, a loud voice broke into everyone's ears!
"This is Nanjing, the finals of the 2018 LPL Summer Split!" Ren Dong strode to the stage in formal attire, "After three months of long fighting, only two teams finally stood out and stood on the final stage!"
"Let's invite the team to appear!"
As the dry ice mist rose in front of the stage, the elevator slowly appeared in front of the audience, carrying a soundproof room containing two teams of people.
“First of all, it’s Invictus Gaming who made it all the way to the finals as a dark horse!”
Ren Dong waved his hand, "Top laner TheShy, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, bottom laner Lwx and support Crisp!"
IG members walked out of the soundproof room where they were and waved to the audience around them.
There was thunderous applause!
Perhaps it was the first time they competed in a venue of such a size. When the players of the Extreme Team heard the warm applause, their smiles were a little reserved.
At the same time, five giant phantoms appeared behind the five IG players!
Sword Lady, Green Steel Shadow, Enchantress, Vayne and Thresh.
It is their respective representative heroes!
The 30,000 spectators in the venue all cheered excitedly!
This clearly uses the AR technology used to project the ancient dragon at the Bird's Nest last year. Audiences at the scene and in the live broadcast room can see the representative characters of the players through the big screen and broadcast signals!
"The next person I want to invite is..." Ren Dong gathered strength and used all his strength to open his throat, "Vici Gaming!"
The cheers in the stadium doubled, shaking everyone's eardrums!
Gu Xing and others filed out, enjoying the surging sound wave sent to them by the audience!
AR phantoms representing heroes also appeared behind the five of them.
Kennan, a short man wearing a silver cloak and holding one hand on the ground, a blind monk in a Tang suit with a silver dragon embroidered on his chest, and Xia Luo, wearing silver scale armor, hugging each other tightly...
The phantoms of the four players in the upper and lower fields directly use S7 champion skins!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This scene made tens of thousands of VCs present extremely excited!
In comparison, Akali, the representative character of Chaowei, is dressed much simpler.
However, with her social tattoos, domineering eyes that disdain everything, and the cross sickle waving in her hand, Akali’s aura is not inferior to that of her four teammates!
"Whether it will be the challenger who has gone through all the hardships to win the Silver Dragon Cup and become the new king, or the dynasty that has been on the throne for a long time to defend its dominance, let us wait and see!" Ren Dong shouted loudly.
The camera turns to the commentary box.
The Haier brothers, who have remained unchanged for thousands of years, plus a new commentator, remember, make up the entire commentary team.
"Today VG has ushered in a brand new challenger," Miller sighed with emotion. "In my impression, in the previous two years, it was always RNG, and EDG took turns. This summer finals finally has fresh blood!"
"Yes," Wawa's tone was also full of emotion, "The last time IG reached the LPL finals was back in 2014. At that time, PDD and Gemini were the leaders. Now things have changed, and IG has five new cards. The new force composed of faces follows in the footsteps of their predecessors and steps onto the final stage!"
The two of them were still young and ignorant newcomers to the workplace when they commented on the 2014 finals, but now they have become the most senior commentators in the LPL.
I remember that I joined the LPL for a short period of time, so I didn’t have so many emotions to brew, so I just talked about the jokes I discovered before the game.
“It is worth mentioning that the prefix Vici of VG means ‘I conquer’ in Latin, but what about IG?”
"Invictus means 'invincible'!" I remember sharing with a smile, "It can be said that the names of the two teams are diametrically opposed, and they seem to have a sense of fate!"
"I just don't know who will win..." Miller whispered, and then received the information from the backstage director, "Let's take a look at the playoff data performance of both sides in the previous stages!"
"IG is far ahead in terms of average game time, blood level, and average damage, especially the blood level as high as 1.1... What kind of monster team is this?" I almost screamed.
The meaning of bloodiness is the number of kills and kills a team participates in per minute.
1.1 means that the game will end with 33 heads in 30 minutes!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are fighting all the time!
"VG has an advantage in the control rate of big and small dragons and the average number of deaths per game. It can be seen that the foundation of the championship team is operations," Miller analyzed clearly, "They no longer rely on frequent battles to establish an advantage, and are often better at it. Roll the economic snowball, attract the enemy's energy, and then find loopholes to kill with a fatal blow!"
"There is no doubt that this style of play has a very high lower limit and the results are very stable..."
The doll couldn't wait for his partner to finish, so he raised his voice and said, "BP is getting spicy!"
Amidst the sonorous and powerful metallic crunching sound, the forbidden panel appeared in front of everyone!
"IG won the poison coin session before the game, and had the right to choose sides in the first, third, and fifth rounds, and came up and got the red side." I remember being quite surprised, "This is something I didn't expect. Usually everyone has the right to choose sides." They all pick the blue side!”
"It looks like he has a big move..." The doll was so excited that he even started rubbing his hands together.
"The first round BP of both sides is relatively fixed. VG is responsible for sending Sword Girl to the ban position, plus Ning Wang's signature Qinggang Shadow and Broiler's Syndra, while IG bans Akali, Kindred and Male Spear, respectively.
A unique hero in the middle and jungle!”
Miller laughed out loud, "I have to say that the hero pools on both sides are really ruthless in the current version. There are almost no blind spots and no flaws can be found. Banned characters are often used by one's own side, but the opponent's proficiency needs to be higher.
It’s better, I really don’t dare to let it go!”
The only difference is Syndra, Chaowei really doesn't understand it, but Broiler can regard her as an absolute signature.
However, the impact is not very big, and Redmi can afford to pay for one class.
"The Sword Demon was released, VG grabbed it decisively without thinking!"
The two sides had played countless games on the final BP before the game. They thought through all the situations and just picked up the heroes step by step without any accidents, which led to the rapid progress of the BP.
IG chose to gather Xia Luo for the duo first.
This move is equivalent to grabbing instead of banning to prevent VG from getting it.
"Redmi reacts very quickly, so just use Bomberman and Jace's Poke combo to speed up in the mid-term!"
It was Jin Jingzhu's turn to make the third choice, and he also grabbed the jungler Nightmare to deal with it without any hesitation.
Forcefully opening Zigu to counter Poke consumption, as long as the team battle can start, IG is not afraid of VG!
In the second round of BP, IG targeted the support and banned Leona and Titan who cooperated with the bomb monsters; Hongmi considered the development space of the sword demon and banned TheShy's special skill Sword Queen and Broiler's unique skill Enchantress.
The former avoids single-line penetration, and the latter avoids sideline wandering in the mid-term.
VG didn’t ban Ornn, who can partner with Nightmare, because Redmi was sure TheShy wouldn’t pick it. This character wasn’t very powerful after being nerfed for a few rounds. Now even Yan Junze doesn’t play anymore. You can imagine the hero’s strength!
"In the fourth pick, IG took out Ryze first, but still had to swing," Miller said with great interest, "It seems that he really has a trump card that he wants to save for the fifth hand!"
Hongmi frowned, and after careful consideration, he decided to ignore the other party's idiosyncrasies and choose what he was good at first.
Jungler Xin Zhao assists Shen!
"VG's lineup really has something to say," Wawa chuckled twice, "The support speed is quite fast. The duo's ultimate moves can help them quickly radiate their influence to the battlefield. Poke is also excellent, and they can also defend against strong attacks.
Xin Zhao’s ultimate move…”
"Wait a minute, IG is making a god-demon plane?" I remember looking at the last choice of Team Ji and being dumbfounded, "The crabs are here!"
The ugly body covered with chains and pipes locked down, causing the audience to scream in surprise!
"Is this the black technology developed by IG?" Watanabe couldn't believe it. "Urgot hasn't had a chance to play since his redesign last year. He's so unpopular to a certain extent!"
The previous Crab was called Leader's Pride, and its ultimate move was to shift position, basically taking the bottom lane shooter position. It was precisely because it was so unpopular that the designer drastically changed it and turned it into a heavily armored warrior, but it looked too ugly.
It's bulky and unpopular with players, and no one plays it no matter whether it's in ranked matches or on the field.
"IG wants Crab to fight Sword Demon, and Ryze to fight Jace..." Miller took a breath, puzzled, "What on earth does this mean?"
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue side VG: top laner Sword Demon, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Jace, bottom lane Bomberman Shen.
Red square IG: top laner Crab, jungler Nightmare, mid laner Ryze, bottom lane Xia Luo.
"We have to see what TheShy's tricks are like..." I remember my curiosity was piqued.
But before that, Shiquan took advantage of the time when the coaches of both sides were shaking hands and retreating to the background to wait for the game to load to start playing trash talk before the game.
