163: The beginning and end of the change of heart, the severe grouping situation! (1.2W words of super large chapter!)
"Puff, why are you back?"
The person who opened the door and walked in was Imp.
Gu Xing was surprised to see the fat mouse Ju Chengbin.
I returned to Shanghai early because I had to go through the suspension of study procedures before the new students registered.
What's going on with Imp?
"I'm staying in Korea with nothing to do. I don't have a computer at home. If I want to play games, I have to go to an Internet cafe. Why don't I just come back?" Gu Chengbin carried his fancy LV suitcase and looked away to see the clothes under Gu Xing's body.
Chair.
"Are you a god or a demon?" Imp was very curious.
"Ergonomic chair," Gu Xing proudly showed off, "a gift from my sister!"
Gu Chengbin looked at it carefully and even walked around it twice out of curiosity.
Viewed from the front, the all-mineral white chair is very smart and simple, while the back support rod is much more complicated, supporting the entire chair like a human skeleton.
"Looks like an average appearance..." Gu Chengbin complained.
He just likes colorful things.
I usually wear colorful clothes and look like a peacock when walking on the street.
"I think it's pretty good," Gu Xing said proudly, "Isn't this more fragrant than a gaming chair? That thing looks pretty good, but it's useless."
The shape of the chair Gu Pan chose was exactly what he wanted.
It's just that the price is too expensive.
But in front of Gu Chengbin, Gu Xing would definitely brag.
He sat on the chair and turned around twice, adjusting the angle and height of the chair back according to the instruction manual to make his waist and chair fit together.
Gu Xing looked satisfied.
It's really comfortable, and I feel like the tight muscles in my back have relaxed.
Now he has no soreness or pain in his back, and he wishes he could sit on the chair from morning to night.
Gu Chengbin is quite envious.
He is very old and has gained a lot of weight. He didn't feel it significantly during training.
Nowadays, we practice crazy for fifteen hours a day. Sitting for a long time will inevitably cause physical problems.
Sometimes after hard training, I can feel the constant soreness in my lower back while lying flat on my bed.
Seeing how comfortable Gu Xing was sitting on the chair, he also wanted to follow suit and buy one.
It would be great if you could spend more money to paint the surface of the chair with bright colors!
There were only two of them in the huge training room, and Gu Xing was preparing to start a live broadcast to travel in the canyon.
Although he can earn 1 million in the next three months, and the live broadcast income seems not worth mentioning, he never thinks that the money is too much.
And being able to communicate with the audience and watch them live is sometimes quite interesting.
As soon as Gu Xing opened the live broadcast room, a bunch of netizens immediately rushed in.
[Is there a live broadcast? What an unexpected surprise, yes]
[What to say about the World Championship? Can Xiao Gu give me an accurate answer?]
[You have to play professionally, how can VG survive without you]
[It’s broken, Fudan freshmen are registering today, does the Virtue live broadcast explain everything? 】
Most of the comments were focused on Gu Xing's future plans.
After all, so far, he and VG have not clearly explained the situation to the outside world. Some netizens in the e-sports forum regard the summer finals as the last game of Gu Xing's career.
"I will play in the World Championships," Gu Xing briefly explained the situation. "The current decision is to continue playing professionally next year. The formalities for suspending school have been completed this afternoon."
As soon as this statement came out, the chat history froze for a moment, and then the screen was refreshed one after another!
[Oops, I got the admission notice from Fudan University of Science and Technology during the summer vacation, and I wanted to snipe Virtue offline, but Xiao Gu was so despicable that he didn’t come to register at all? 】
[It is indeed possible to take a leave of absence from school. After earning money from a career, you can still go back to study. Isn’t it a win-win situation? 】
【More than a win-win? It’s simply a win-win!】
[Although the camera is very unclear, I found that Xiao Gu’s chair has changed its appearance]
Gu Xing caught a glimpse of the last barrage.
"The camera is not clear?" He was helpless. "The base has not confiscated the leave and the staff has not arrived yet. Please bear with it for two days."
Jack, who knows best about live broadcasting, is still in Huanggang and has not returned.
Gu Xing checked the live broadcast software and found no problems.
"It's because it hasn't been live broadcast for a long time. Just wipe the camera with paper and it will be fine," he read back the barrage and sneered at it, "That's nonsense. How can it be clear just by wiping it?"
Gu Xing pulled out two paper towels and wiped them on the camera randomly, refuting as he wiped them.
"Look, it's clear now, isn't it..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
Through the OBS screen recording software, he can see that the clarity of the camera is several orders of magnitude better than before!
"It's okay then," Gu Xing awkwardly changed the subject amid the barrage of 233, "Pfft, hurry up and sign up, we'll get points in double queue!"
They are the only ones in the training department, so solo queue is too boring.
Gu Xing's mouse moved around on the computer desktop, clicking on multiple League of Legends icons in succession.
Due to different operators, both domestic and foreign clients can be opened at the same time.
He plans to open rankings on both servers at the same time. Whichever account is matched with an opponent first will fork off the queue status of the other account.
Queuing in this way is the most efficient and can be called a master of time management!
Gu Xing rarely played like this during the summer split.
After all, when the professional competition is going on, there are very many active players in the high-end game of the Korean server, and the queue time in the evening is not long.
It's different now.
Entering September, the summer splits in several major competition areas have already ended.
Except for a few teams that have qualified for the World Championship, most teams have entered a long offseason, and all players have gone home for the holidays.
For many professional players, League of Legends is their job.
The novelty of the early years has faded, and many players will never touch the league during the holidays.
This has led to a sharp decrease in the number of players in the Korean server's high-scoring game!
Gu Xing opened the Korean server client, and in the normally bustling friend column on the right, only a few IDs were lit up!
His and Gu Chengbin's scores were ridiculously high, and it was difficult for them to line up in solo queue, let alone duo queue.
If he only played the Korean server, Gu Xing felt that he could play one or two games in one night, and the live broadcast was fair and aboveboard!
But he hasn't turned into an old man yet.
Now I am working hard and want to improve the audience’s live broadcast experience.
While queuing up, I also talked about cross talk with Goo Sung Bin, which livened up the atmosphere in the live broadcast room.
Thanks to the excellent league results and excellent program effects, the popularity and attention of Gu Xing’s live broadcast room continues to surge!
…
Panda Live.
The platform founded by Wang Sicong is still in its early stages. It has attracted many anchors by spending money, and its popularity is quite good.
Among them, the IG Club, which is also owned by Panda, naturally also settled in Panda.
Children's Wandering God is live streaming.
As an IG twin star, his traffic is acceptable.
Although most of the barrage is ridiculing Kid.
[Child B is really hard-working, today is another good day to score high? 】
[What do the little black fans say? Look at my kid killing thousands of people in the national server today!]
[If nothing else, I believe in Kid Vayne, even Piglet, the skin owner, can't cover up his shine]
[It’s a pity that the kid’s game level is only 1/3 of his ranking, and IG will be able to enter the World Championship this year]
[Holy shit, ‘I really only know how to play jungle’...Kid has any friends?】
[Play Virtue in double row, I will sell the rented house for you to make Buddha jump over the wall!]
The chubby child You Shen sat on a chair, cut the screen and took a look at the live broadcast room. He also found that Gu Xing's ID lit up in the Chinese server friend list, and quickly entered the queue.
Kid was beaming with joy and immediately chatted with the barrage.
"I'm very familiar with Xiao Gu and Jack. Let's see if I can line up with him..."
The child's wandering mind moved the mouse over Gu Xing's ID, and blurted out the moment he saw the opponent's rank.
"He is the king of me, and he can't compete with the brothers!"
Gu Xingde hasn't played in the ranking match with Dianyi account for a while. The sleep mechanism caused his score to drop automatically, and now he's back to Dianyi.
Kid didn't think much, he just stated the objective facts.
But the rhythm in the live broadcast room surged instantly, and the live broadcast room where children were wandering around was filled with questions!
"Oh, I really didn't mock Xiao Gu," Kid called Qu Lianlian, "What are you doing?"
In order to prove his innocence, he chatted with Gu Xing in the client.
Carrot's fingers were typing on the keyboard quickly, and he was still asking the other party if he had time recently. He found a particularly delicious restaurant near the Bund, and he could make an appointment for a meal.
After receiving Gu Xing's affirmative reply, the child You Shen happily showed off to the audience, "Did you see that, this is the anchor's connections!"
Then he belatedly realized that Gu Xing was already queuing with someone, so he went down the slope and made a promise to play together again if there was a chance in the future.
It happened that the system prompted nine other players to be queued up, and the child was eager to play.
"Set a small goal today, first get to the top fifty of Ionia!"
Kid’s ranking score is always good.
Basically from the time he officially came into contact with this game until now, he has been the king of the national server every year.
Not only did the IG team where the child You Shen belong to not qualify for the World Championship, it didn't even have a spot in the bubble competition.
But this does not prevent him from bringing his talents to the ranks, and taking advantage of this offseason, let the people on the national server recall the fear of being dominated by Kid!
The child You Shen, who was about to kill everyone in the canyon, thought carefully and decided to ban Leopard Girl after thinking for a long time.
Seeing that it wasn't his turn to choose a hero yet, Kid switched out to see if there was any rhythm in the barrage.
As a result, the audience shouted overwhelmingly that Gu Xing was on the opposite side.
"Really or not?" The child's face changed at the speed of light, and the panic was visible to the naked eye, "Don't do it!"
Most of the top games in the national server are not pure ten kings. It is normal for there to be two or three high-scoring diamond one or master games.
Theoretically, the chance of him and Gu Xing colliding is quite high!
The Douyu where Gu Xing is located is an enemy station. Children are not allowed to watch blatantly during the live broadcast of Youshen. They can only take a sneak peek with their mobile phones.
After repeated comparisons, Kid determined that the ban positions of both parties were exactly right.
The child's wandering mind was instantly filled with despair.
What's more important is that both he and Gu Xing are junglers!
Kid is very confident in his qualifying level.
But Gu Xing is also a pure genius!
He reached the top of the national server and even stayed in the top five of the Korean server for two months. His strength is obvious to all.
The child Youshen felt that he was really facing off against Gu Xing, and he couldn't get any advantage in either competition or ranking.
"Change positions, brother..." Kid quickly typed to communicate with his teammates, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Hey, we have a jungler here, and we just want him to play against Xiao Gu!"
But he immediately realized the next problem.
Where are you going?
Home bank ADC?
The child could see clearly just now that the one in double queue with Gu Xing was Imp!
He knows how powerful Gu Chengbin is, not to mention that he hasn't played as an ADC for half a year. He just won the championship and his hand is feeling hot. If he goes head-to-head, he will definitely not be as good as him!
Fortunately, the kid is known as the all-around king of the rankings. He is good at many roles, and he is not afraid of avoiding VG jungler and ADC.
Kid finally decided to play mid lane.
Douyu's Gu Xing also received a message from the audience and learned that the person opposite was a child wandering around.
However, he felt dissatisfied, so he just leaned back comfortably in his chair and watched many barrages asking him to play a game of blind monk, so he locked him down without saying a word.
"What are you playing in the nest?" Gu Chengbin rolled the mouse wheel and was faced with the huge hero pool.
"Anything is fine," Gu Xing unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured tons of water into his mouth, and responded casually, "Isn't this part just for fun?"
"Chief," Gu Chengbin said in a matter-of-fact tone, "just these dog baskets, I can hang them up and beat them with just one hand!"
He selected Vayne and prepared to show the audience in his live broadcast room a set of operations.
"Are you so good at V?" Gu Xing tried to deflect the blame, "I have skin."
"Tch," Imp took the bait directly and immediately uttered wild words, "When I was sitting in the World Championship using Vayne to get the pentakill, Piglet was almost out of work!"
He and Zhu Rang fell in love and killed each other in OGN back then, and they were in a relationship where no one looked down on the other.
The first time Goo Sung Bin cried when he beat a player in a major competition was Zhu Rang.
The two were evenly matched in terms of overall record that year.
But Imp considers himself to be stronger than Piglet, especially when it comes to his signature hero Vayne, and he doesn't think Piglet has anything worthy of praise.
After Gu Xing finished his work and started a group, he huddled nearby to hide his merit and fame.
The opposing jungler selected a Rek to counter Lee Sin.
He didn't take it seriously and didn't take it to heart at all.
Currently, the national server has been updated to version 6.17, and Gu Xing has seen the patch content in the qualifying queue.
Rek'Sai was nerfed.
The excavator that dominates the entire summer competition has been greatly increased in the early cooldown of E [Tunnel Digging] in version 6.17, and the CD of R [Void Rush] has been increased by 30 seconds for all levels!
The designer is obviously trying to curb Rek'Sai's proud gank success rate and support speed.
Gu Xing was not worried, he thought he would win.
Enter the loading interface.
He saw Rek'Sai's ID across from him.
Dragon Ball, Cuzz
I've heard of it, but I'm really unfamiliar with it.
Before Gu Xing became a professional player, he had seen this nickname on the national server rankings when he was still racing for points in Ionia.
He is a Korean jungler who is broadcast live on the domestic Longzhu platform.
He also often participates in battles to reach the top of the national server, with a winning rate of around 70%, and Rek'Sai is his unique hero!
However, the gold content of the national server at that time was really terrifying.
Gu Xing,Dopa,JackeyLove,Theshy……
There are also several other members of the Seven Wolves, all of whom have reached the top of the national server. In terms of qualifying alone, their level is indistinguishable.
Under the bright stars, Cuzz is not very conspicuous.
Gu Xing had never even ranked him before!
Gu Xing was still studying at that time, and he would play games in the hour before evening study hall or in the afternoons on holidays.
Cuzz is live in Longzhu. He is a typical night owl and will not go online until dark.
This also led to the fact that although the two had high scores, they had never met in the rankings!
Gu Xing thought that since he and Imp were playing in a duo queue, the two of them could easily score points without being particularly serious.
After 10 minutes he knew he was careless.
"Why is Rek'Sai hiding in this place to sneak attack me?"
Gu Xing felt frustrated looking at the black and white screen.
Cuzz’s understanding of Rek’Sai has reached the level of perfection, and tunnel control is completely different from normal players!
Just now, Cuzz just activated R [Void Rush] and sprinted from the spring to an extremely weird tunnel, squatting in Gu Xing's wild area and waiting for the rabbit.
Catch him off guard again!
The designers reduced Rek'Sai's mobility, but didn't change the damage much.
The sharp fangs and sharp teeth bite, and the blind monk is beaten to a bloody level!
Even though Gu Xing had extremely fast hands, touching his eyes and flashing to widen the distance, he couldn't resist the kid who was sitting in the middle opposite him and sprinted forward and flashed to kill him!
"Box box box..." Kid laughed excitedly when he saw that he had killed Gu Xing, and yelled in the live broadcast room, "Did you see it? This is the perfect linkage between the anchor and Cuzz!"
"It's a pity that Cuzz is also a jungler. Otherwise, if the two of us were on the same team, we would definitely kill the LPL!" he said wildly.
In Kid's opinion, Gu Xing treated the LPL junglers like pigs and killed them indiscriminately.
Cuzz can even ambush Gu Xing and defeat him, so his strength must not be weak!
When the child wandered around and talked about this, he suddenly came up with a bold idea.
IG is short of Edisi, and there is exactly one foreign player left...
Why don't you bring Cuzz over and bring your talent back to the AD position next season?
The best of both worlds!
Kid's heart was bubbling with joy.
If he recruits a strong foreign aid for the team, Wang Sicong will not only have to bring Song Yi in next time he goes to Hainan for his birthday, but he can also take advantage of it, right?
When the time comes, I won’t know how to thank myself!
The sword is pointing at S7, just around the corner!
The child was so happy that he wandered around.
Gu Xing was not happy.
He finally saw Cuzz's ranking level.
It is indeed worthy of a sentence such as horror.
The ability to control rhythm is extremely powerful. After gaining an advantage, it can snowball and capture people while controlling resources!
"What's going on, Ji Gu!" Imp shouted from the side, "Don't cheat me!"
He was playing well in the bottom lane. He pressed the Tab key to open the data panel, only to find that his teammates could no longer play in the jungle!
The barrage in the live broadcast room was also teasing Gu Xing.
Netizens are accustomed to Gu Xing's explosive killings in the arena, but it is rare for him to be cheated once.
"Don't scream, don't scream!" Gu Xing's face turned red and he defended himself, "I was just careless just now. Next time I will become immortal and become a god!"
Gu Xing's development is very poor. If he wants to carry, he must quickly replenish his finances.
The target is locked in the bottom lane.
He was going to rub two heads.
Facts have proved that in this qualifying match, only Cuzz and the child Youshen are stronger on the opposite side.
The other three people are just ordinary high-scoring players.
Gu Xing found a breakthrough, grabbed the bottom lane several times in a row, and successfully made up for his lost economy and level!
He is focused and serious, and his level of rigor is as high as when playing games.
Even so, Cuzz still took advantage of the early advantage to find opportunities to help the team advance the defensive tower.
The turning point occurred in the 24-minute team battle in Dalongkeng.
After capturing Gu Xing's mid laner, Cuzz signaled his teammates to focus on Baron Nash.
When the dragon had 2800 HP left, Gu Xing rushed over.
Cuzz signaled his teammates to stop immediately and deal with the blind monk first.
Who would have thought that before he could take action, Gu Xing would be the first to attack!
Tian Yinbo kicked Reksai through the wall, Echo Strike's eye touch + flash in the air, double displacement to adjust the position, R [Dragon Tail Swing] knocked three people away in the narrow dragon pit!
"Handsome!" Imp's expression perked up, and his shout echoed in the empty training room.
Ju Chengbin, who plunges straight into the dragon pit from the river, is blessed with holy light above his head.
Dressed in the light of the sky, Vayne raised her giant crossbow and wildly shot at the enemies in the dragon pit!
Braum enters the field, and R [Glacial Fissure] follows up and knocks him away!
Nosuke's control chain creates excellent output space for Imp.
Gu Chengbin has outstanding development. In the mid-to-late stage, Vayne's percentage of real damage is hit by anyone, and the opponent can't bear it!
A wave of 4 vs. 5 team battles ended with the team annihilating the opponent, but the two generals of the VG double row survived!
"How is it?!" Gu Xing, who had been dull for the whole game, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Should I be concerned?"
"Niu Niu Niu, it's too strong, don't let it go!" Gu Chengbin scored four kills, and he was beaming, "This kick hits the top!"
The barrage filled the screen with 666, and Gu Xing laughed out loud, "This is the charm of the blind monk. In the mid-to-late stage, just one kick can save the world!"
After the team destroyed their opponents, the two took advantage of the opportunity to win the baron, and the situation was instantly reversed!
Kid couldn't laugh anymore.
He takes qualifying very seriously and is a pure slave.
Now I see the duck flying away from my mouth, and my face turns blue and white.
The child wandering god tried his best to get Vayne's head in the crowd of thousands of soldiers.
It's a pity that Gu Xing is too well protected. His ultimate move [Dragon Swinging Tail] is all used to prevent the opponent's advance, allowing Gu Chengbin to deal with peace of mind and kill all enemies with Holy Silver Crossbow Arrows!
At 34 minutes and 40 seconds into the game, the blind monk made his last basic attack and successfully leveled the opponent's base!
"Huh..." Gu Xing leaned back, leaned on the newly acquired ergonomic chair, and flipped through the data interface, "Let me just say that not dying in this round is amazing, right? I, Virtue, always keep my word!"
At the end of the game, his record stood at 9/3/6.
After being crouched and killed by Cuzz in the jungle, he perfectly achieved 8 consecutive kills!
Gu Xing is not arrogant and complacent now, "The opponent Reksai really has a unique skill. When I come back, I can learn from him in his live broadcast room. I feel that my understanding is quite advanced."
Although he did underestimate the enemy in the early stage, he had to admit that Cuzz's excavator caused him a lot of trouble.
Gu Xing didn't want to eat Dori dark chocolate to start a virtual game.
Now I only have 3 yuan left in my hand, so I must use it sparingly.
Cuzz only shows the super proficiency of a single hero, and it is not worth wasting a piece of chocolate.
He felt that by watching the video of two more games, he would be able to figure it out.
Gu Sungbin beside him was in a happy mood.
The child Youshen, like himself, has fallen in love with the female anchor named Ida Yakiniku.
From a certain perspective, they are still competitors.
Goo Sung Bin got Kid's ranking points, so naturally he was extremely happy.
"Let's go out for barbecue later," he extended a sincere invitation to Gu Xing, "We'll treat you to a treat!"
Gu Xing thought for a moment.
In the huge base, there were only two of them, Gu Chengbin and himself.
And there really isn't much to do.
Might as well go out and eat meat with Imp.
"Let's go together," Gu Xing said as usual, not wanting anyone else to treat him, "I'm not that short of money now... I've agreed in advance not to go to places that are too expensive!"
With Goo Chengbin's level of consumption, he can't even keep up with him.
"Don't worry, the price will definitely be good for your conscience!" Imp didn't know where he learned the arrogant words, and he said them all in the same way.
Gu Xing broadcast for two hours, and when he saw that it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, he and Imp went to a Korean barbecue restaurant near Songjiang University Town.
The place chosen by Gu Chengbin is very authentic. The owner of the store is from Seoul. They also sell Korean Coca-Cola, and the price is several times more expensive than the domestic version!
Gu Xing was very curious as to why this thing with Korean characters on it was so expensive.
Imp couldn't help but persuade him to buy it for a taste.
"Can you taste the difference?" Gu Chengbin turned the pork belly with tongs, "I feel there is no difference."
Gu Xing took a sip, and with his years of experience in drinking Coca-Cola, he felt something different, "The one made in South Korea is more refreshing, but not as sweet as the domestic one... I am still used to the domestic one."
A can costs ten yuan more, and Gu Xing couldn't taste it anywhere else.
"Try the barbecue. If you wrap it with vegetable leaves and garlic slices, it will taste better." Goo Chengbin used scissors to cut the pork belly into long strips as thick as a finger.
Gu Xing helped turn the food on the stove and took some time to show off the meat in his mouth.
The vegetable leaves and garlic slices just neutralize the greasy barbecue, and the subsequent burnt aroma of the fat and the tough lean meat blend together and spread in the mouth.
Korean food culture is indeed poor.
But Gu Xing still recognizes barbecue and fried chicken.
While Ju Chengbin was going to the toilet, on a whim, he picked up his mobile phone to take pictures and sent them to Shen Guanshan who was far away in the capital.
The other party sent back a series of photos of roast duck to counterattack.
When Imp returned to his seat, he saw his jungler raising the corners of his mouth slightly, staring at the screen of his mobile phone, and his fingers were busy typing.
"Are you in love?" Gu Chengbin has sharp eyes and can see through the truth in a second.
"You can see this?" Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, he still thought that his performance was not obvious.
"Ah Yixi, do you think my brother has never been in love before?" Gu Chengbin filled his stomach and began to talk about love history.
At the end, he talked about his family again and drank Coke like wine.
It's just that he used broken Chinese to chat with Chinese people, and he was out of place in this barbecue restaurant.
There are Koreans around, and everyone is communicating in their native language.
Gu Xing listened for a while, but he was very puzzled by Gu Chengbin's change of attitude in this summer game.
"When you first came to VG, to be honest, your work and rest habits and training intensity were quite healthy," Gu Xing said in a tactful tone, not directly saying that Imp was a loser. "That time Hongmi took you out to drink, and you changed your gender when you came back.
Oh...why?"
He still can't figure out the reason.
This problem troubled Gu Xing for more than a month.
Gu Chengbin pondered for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide it.
"Let me tell you first why I was so lazy when I first came to VG." Imp has always been outspoken. Thinking of the past, he slammed the table angrily, "Someone was cheating on me at the precipice of the LGD World Championship!"
His dirty words were spoken in a clear and precise manner.
"Who's going to play in the first game... OG!" Goo Chengbin looked excited, "Labour and management are so fat in the early stage. It started 4/0/0 in 23 minutes. The opponent's lineup couldn't get in my face at all. Gao Dewei used it.
She is still Lulu, Xiaoping is playing Bron, and she will never die if she keeps her nest!"
"In the end, Wei was chosen as the jungler. In the 43-minute game, the team had 10 kills. He had 0 kills, 6 deaths and 1 assist. Do you think this is the data that a normal player can produce?"
Gu Chengbin became angry just thinking about it, and almost evolved into the form of gnashing his teeth. "I can understand that the dish is in a bad state. Who hasn't been tricked? Then he can finally make up for the four APs of vampire, spider, clockwork + Annie on the opposite side.
The Warden Armor is going to be made into a blue shield, can you tell me how to explain it?"
He still remembers that game vividly.
"To be honest, LGD's performance last year was poor. Redmi was prevented from going to Europe. We lacked a coach and could only let analysts work. Everyone was really inflated just after winning the championship. A major version change is also not good for the team," Gu
Cheng Bin pinched the Coke can, "But if the players don't cause trouble, LGD will never be like that!"
Imp has a deep obsession.
"After the first game, I felt something was wrong. Then I asked Tetsuo to give me a hammer later..." Goo Chengbin slumped in his chair. "At that time, I thought, let's destroy it when I'm tired. Stop torturing me."
Gu Xing listened carefully and did not express any opinions casually. He just gave Imp a piece of beef.
He was a spectator at the World Championship last year.
When I read the forum, many people said that Taobao Quantie bought spinach. Gu Xing didn't know the real situation and didn't dare to make any inferences.
But I heard Ju Chengbin say this.
Queshi is a bit outrageous.
"Can you imagine what it feels like?" Imp vented his anger on the beef, "Before the game, everyone expected you to reach the finals, but in the end, you ended up in the top 16!"
Thinking back on it, he was able to make himself laugh.
"My S5 status is very good. In terms of strength, I am worthy of anyone. However, the World Championship exploded. After I came back, I went to the bar for three months and drank every day." Gu Chengbin spread his hands, "According to you, then
Just show off!"
"Anyway, I don't need to train much, so I can easily play against these basket ADCs in the LPL..."
This is true.
Imp drank alcohol for three months, and when he came back, Hirano Aya, who was in the same state of decline, was able to beat many teams in the bottom lane.
"What happened next?" Gu Xing was very interested in the subsequent changes.
Gu Chengbin's mood calmed down a little.
"That day when we lost to OMG in the regular season, I had a fight with Hongmi. He always wanted me to return to the state of hard training in S4, but I didn't want to do that. It was really too tiring."
In the first half of 2016, he could only describe himself as decadent.
So that decadence becomes a habit.
"The noise got louder and louder. You all heard it in the training room at the time. Hongmi dragged Wo to the bar to drink with Wo..." Imp recalled the previous scene, "He told me, 'This is a team game, you
You can't hold the team back. Now that I think about it, I'm quite disappointed with Hongmi. He can actually use the word holding back to describe Wo."
Imp's punch-in training routine is better than the ADCs of ordinary LPL teams, but it is definitely not top-notch.
In other words, it cannot match the strength and performance of VG that topped the entire league at that time.
It is precisely because of this that Hongmi felt dissatisfied when he saw Imp ruined.
"He said that from the coaching staff to the players, all the members of the training department are different from the LGD World Championship lineup. What's the fault of everyone? We should lose the game because of my poor performance?"
Goo Chengbin smiled bitterly, "Someone in the S5 World Championship team is causing trouble, so I have to use almost the same method to disgust my new teammates? It doesn't make sense."
"What's more, why should we punish ourselves for other people's mistakes?"
Gu Xing understood, "So you just changed your mind?"
"Of course not," Gu Chengbin said confidently, "I'm very stubborn, okay?"
"After drinking, Hongmi brought up his teammates from back then," Imp remembered vividly. "He said that Gu Chengbin, Hyungseok and Shiheng were in RNG, and there was a high probability that they would be able to achieve the goal of not being able to go to the World Championship last year. Even you
Our good brothers Deft and Pawn can also go to the S6 World Championship to wash away the shame they left last year..."
"What about you? You just want to show off, don't you?" Imp lowered his head and played with Taiko, "Before coming to China, I didn't promise to prove to everyone that Gu Chengbin, who went to LGD alone, could also compete in the World Championship. To make a name for yourself?"
At the end of 2014, Samsung White officially disbanded.
Goo Sungbin went to LGD alone and did not find any teammates to join him. He was extremely confident in his carry ability, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as arrogant.
No one could have imagined at the time that a year later he would start drinking heavily.
Suddenly Imp raised his head, gritting his teeth and looking sad and angry.
“That bastard from Hongmi, I don’t know who I learned the trash talk from. After drinking, he taunted me and said that if I just messed up like this until I retired, everyone would only remember me for the shame of the S3 and S5 World Championships. Top 16!”
Gu Xing almost ended up in Bengbu.
It can only be said that Hongmi deserves to have worked with Imp for 4 years and knows the pain points of Gu Chengbin.
For such an extremely conceited person, tearing off his scars will definitely make him miserable.
Subjectively, Goo Sung Bin absolutely does not want the last impression he leaves to the global audience to be that of a top 16 player and Calista who was beaten to pieces by Tetsuo Man.
"Hongmi said that VG might be a great opportunity this year. He couldn't guarantee that he would make it to the end, but at least he would be better than LGD in S5," Gu Chengbin admitted sincerely, "I was really impressed."
Gu Xing took a deep breath and then opened his mouth.
"I feel that Hongmi will not be a coach in the future, but will be doing some psychological counseling work which is quite good."
Goo Sung Bin smiled, "He has always been good at teaching players to overcome psychological obstacles..."
Gu Xing thought that the conversation between his coach and Gu Chengbin was over.
It is an inspirational story about a young man who has hit rock bottom and regains his faith and climbs up.
As a result, Imp's next sentence reminded him of the reality of daily necessities, "and red rice reminded me... I am very short of money."
"Ah?" Gu Xing was completely confused by the reverse.
"Didn't I tell you about my family situation before? My parents are divorced, and my grandma raised me up. I have to respect the elderly when I make money, and I still have two brothers to support," Gu Chengbin sighed, "Every year The expenses are not huge, not to mention that I am quite generous myself."
Gu Xing agreed with Imp's evaluation of himself.
Goo Sung Bin loves luxury goods, and a summer outfit costs 5 digits of RMB.
In the past, I often went to bars to drink, which cost a lot of money.
If you have nothing to do, reward the female anchor again...
Even if he gets millions a year, he can't afford to spend it like this, and the actual money saved is probably not much.
"My career is coming to an end. If it goes badly, the next contract will definitely not be very big," Koo Sung-bin said frankly, "I need money and I have a reason to perform well."
"It just so happens that VG's boss has abundant funds. If I perform well in this World Championship, I don't think he will refuse to offer me a big contract for another one or two years." Imp always speaks straightforwardly.
In the fifth year of his career, it is unrealistic to say that he still loves this game.
For him, this is a reliable material life guarantee and an obsession for revenge.
Gu Xing patted Imp on the shoulder, feeling mixed in his heart.
Before Gu Xing could say anything, the Koreans sitting next to him seemed unhappy that their table kept speaking Chinese.
Jiligulu raised his voice and yelled at the two of them.
Gu Xing didn't understand, so he asked Gu Chengbin for help.
"What did he mean?"
Imp ignored his own jungler and stood up, "??(Throw coins), what is your dog's name?"
Before Gu Xing could react, he saw the two of them fighting each other!
He and other guests quickly went up to start a fight.
…
"Huh? Did you break your glasses during the fight?"
Lu Wenjun rushed to the police station and saw Gu Chengbin sitting helplessly on a chair holding the damaged leg of his glasses, with a faint blood stain on his face.
Gu Xing was unscathed and did not participate in the fight at all.
Because he couldn't understand Korean at all, he didn't even know why this 1v1 men's war broke out.
"As long as they are fine, I was almost shocked when I received the call from Xiao Gu..." Seeing that they were both in good health, Lu Wenjun felt relieved and went to go through the procedures to receive the baby.
The matter was not serious, it was a routine matter at the police station, and Imp was allowed to leave.
Gu Chengbin looked sad, "What should I do with glasses? I bought them for 8,000 yuan, which is enough for an online date!"
Gu Xing was still explaining the pros and cons to him, "Don't do anything you can say in the future. If we get into a fight and break your arm, let alone this World Championship, I'm afraid your career will be scrapped.
Is it worth it?!”
"That Western bitch eats Chinese food and then criticizes China, what's wrong with him?" Ju Chengbin had his own reasons, "I just look down on this kind of person! If you can, go back to Korea."
"That's it..." Gu Xing fell silent.
Suddenly he realized something was wrong.
Is Goo Sung Bin Korean?
Gu Xing's brain suddenly went crazy.
Is there something wrong?
In the end, Gu Chengbin did not receive compensation from the other party, so he had to spend another 8,000 yuan to buy a new pair of glasses.
I got it on September 7th.
The VG competition and training department has taken leave and all members are here to prepare for training.
When everyone learned that Goo Sung Bin had a fight with a Korean at a barbecue restaurant and paid 8,000 yuan to get in, they were all overjoyed, creating a scene of laughter in the training room.
"I really am yours, Imp!" Sister Shijie's face burst into laughter, "If you had just told Brother Xing back then, you would have had a helper at least!"
"Don't mention it. The more I think about it, the more I regret it..." Imp has a reckless and impulsive temper. Now that he thinks about it, he has ten thousand better ways to handle it.
In the end, I chose the worst one.
He is short and fat, not a stocky figure. He spends a lot of time sitting, drinking and smoking. His chances of winning in a one-on-one fight are infinitely close to zero.
I didn’t win the fight in the end, so I even put my glasses on!
Mr. Hou had a hard time holding back his laughter.
Gu Chengbin jumped up angrily and punched his knee.
Look at your skinny monkey look, I can't beat that Korean, and I can't deal with you?
The two got into a fight, and Gu Xing quickly helped them take off their glasses.
He doesn't want to do it again -8000.
It was not until the arrival of Redmi that VG Double C ended its sticker status.
There were more important things that day.
The draw ceremony for the global finals.
Jin Wenhe arranged everything in advance, "I will turn on the camera and we will sit in the training room and watch. When we get back, I will edit the video and upload it to the official blog."
This is a routine program for teams participating in the World Championships over the years.
When looking at the grouping situation, there are always a few musicians who show their true colors and start to make things happen, and the program's effect is ridiculously good.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the Riot Games logo appeared on the projector screen.
Gu Xing adjusted the damping of the back of the chair and lay down comfortably on the chair.
The voiceover of the live broadcast started.
"After a full year of competition, the global finals teams from the five major regions and the wild card camp have all been announced. Let us get to know them first!"
One by one, familiar or unfamiliar team logos appeared in front of Gu Xing.
"First...the first seed TSM, the second seed CLG and the third seed C9 from the NA LCS region!"
Whenever the narrator mentions a team, their recent highlights will be shown on the live broadcast screen.
"From the LPL region, the number one seed VG!"
The Guangzhou International Performing Arts Center in the picture is crowded with people. Under the golden rain, Gu Xing and his teammates lifted the heavy Silver Dragon Cup!
Now that the original trophy has been returned to the official, what VG has retained is a replica, which is placed in the trophy showroom on the third floor.
This is the first team honor the League of Legends division has received.
Subsequent teams such as EDG and RNG also appeared.
It wasn't until all 16 club icons were listed that the voiceover introduced the rules in detail.
"Based on the results of the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational, we divided the 16 teams into three pools."
"Pool No. 1 is the summer championship team in the division where the top four M private teams are located..."
VG, ROX, TSM and Flash Wolves from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were selected.
"Each group in the global finals will have a pool 1 team, and they will not meet each other until the knockout stage. This is a compliment and encouragement for the performance of the region in the first half of the year."
"The second and third seeds from LPL and LCK, the first and second seeds from the European Division, and the second seeds from North America, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, a total of 8 teams, are included in the second pool."
"They will be drawn according to the principle of avoiding the same division, and each group will be assigned to two teams in the second pool."
The remaining wild cards of Brazil and the Commonwealth of Independent States, as well as the third seeds from the European and American divisions, a total of four teams formed the third pool and were assigned to the last spot in each group.
The lottery ceremony was held at Riot Headquarters in North America.
When the lottery guests appeared, Gu Xing saw two old acquaintances.
Cpt Jak, Captain Jack, whom I once met in the Korean server ranking match, was a big enemy of Faker.
And the first-generation legendary ADC in China, Smile.
"Dabu Lecha!" Jack shouted loudly, "I'm an idol, please be more forceful when you draw lots!"
Ju Chengbin became sour, "No, Yu Wenbo, isn't your idol a nest?"
Xiaoxiao is one of the few Chinese ADCs who left a deep impression on him.
Not long after his debut, he was violently beaten by his opponent, which almost gave him nightmares at night. When the two of them competed on the same stage, Yoon Ze-ryul used both swords, and when he smiled and made a blood-drinking sword, Goo Sung-bin was still a double dolan sword!
The ADC gap is vividly demonstrated!
Although Imp became more and more powerful later on, he could not find a chance to take revenge and quit the professional arena with a smile.
This makes Gu Chengbin always obsessed.
"They are all," Yu Wenbo waved his hand perfunctorily, "Don't make any noise, the key to drawing lots here is!"
Cpt Jak stepped forward to the glass basin, which contained four palm-sized colored balls. He put his hand in and slowly stirred it.
If he draws pool number one, to be fair it won't have any impact, it just has to decide which group VG is in.
Captain Jack took out a black ball, opened it, lifted the ribbon inside, and showed it to the camera with a smile on his face.
On top of the gray ribbon is a silver-white team logo!
VG!
"Group A, we are in Group A!" Jin Wenhe said in a loud voice.
The Tigers were drawn in Group B, followed by the Flash Wolves and TSM.
The four teams in Pool 1 have been allocated.
What will greet them next will be challengers from other divisions!
Gu Xing sat up straight now, looking forward to his opponent in the group stage of his first global finals!
Captain Jack walked to the glass basin containing 8 colored balls next to him, stirred for a while and pulled out another colored ball.
Unfold it, and on the green ribbon is a familiar team logo.
"RNG?" Gu Xing was disappointed, "They can't be assigned to Group A!"
The same-division avoidance principle takes effect at this time.
There cannot be two teams from the same division in a group.
RNG, who was originally supposed to come to Group A, was forced to postpone one place due to the presence of VG and go to Group B where ROX is!
"It's our turn this time, right?" Lu Wenjun murmured a prayer, "It's time for a good signing..."
When Captain Jack took out the ribbon inside the second ball, he was the first to see the content.
His shoulders trembled, and he showed an expression of laughter.
The ribbon unfolds.
Gu Xing dragged the chair one step forward.
Outside the red circle is a pair of golden wings.
"Wairty day!" Zhu Xiaolong held his head in his hands, "Can you please stop doing it?!"
Gu Xing's blood instantly cooled down.
The VG training room fell into dead silence for an instant.
As long as you follow the League of Legends competition, you will know the identity of this icon. KT
The only double-championship team in the global finals so far!
Since they did not win the summer championship, they were classified into the second pool.
But everyone knows that this is a shark!
When the SKT team logo appeared below VG, Gu Xing looked solemn.
There are four teams in each group, and the top two can advance to the knockout rounds. KT will definitely occupy a qualifying spot.
This means that VG has to compete with two other opponents to compete for the last qualification to enter the quarterfinals!
"It's broken, it's broken..." Jin Wenhe's face turned pale.
It's not just him.
Most people in the training room had the same thoughts as Jin Wenhyuk.
They didn't even have the energy to pay attention to the two subsequent draws.
Samsung is assigned to Group C, while fellow team EDG is in Group D where TSM is located.
It was Smile's turn to take the stage, and he drew another colored ball with the team logo of Pool 2.
"Let's do something, Dabu Lecha!" Jack shouted out the inner expectations of everyone in VG.
The smile this time showed was full of helplessness.
The ribbon unfolds.
G2's Cavaliers team logo appears in front of everyone's eyes!
Without triggering the zone avoidance, G2 came below VG and SKT!
"Ahhhhh!" Sister Shimei couldn't stand it any longer and shouted frantically, "What the hell kind of lottery are these?"
Champion of the European Summer Split.
Although this year, M suffered a serious hip strain in privately playing G2 and failed to enter the semi-finals.
But after losing their spot in the first pool of the division, they were assigned to the second pool. Like SKT, the draw was full of uncertainty!
The one who suffered the most was VG!
"Double champion SKT, European summer champion G2..." Xiao Duan clapped his fingers, "We are so unlucky, aren't we?"
Gu Xing put his hands behind his head, looking slightly distressed.
Even before the last team in Group A was drawn, the situation was already very serious.
The difficulty of qualifying from the group is too exaggerated!
Even the battle-hardened Hou Ye and Gu Chengbin looked gloomy, obviously not optimistic.
CLG, the second seed in North America, was drawn into Group B, H2K, the second seed in Europe, was divided into Group C, and AHQ, the red Pegasus from the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan divisions, entered Group D where EDG was located.
"The last draw, the heavens and the earth are spirited, can you get a wild card?" Brother Long prayed for God's blessing.
Smile and draw a blue ball.
He shook his head repeatedly as he unrolled the ribbon.
When Gu Xing saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt something was not good.
Similar to the logo of Baidu Cloud.
North America's third seed.
"Oh my God!" Jin Wenhe was completely dumbfounded.
They say North America is the best, but its level is not that high compared to the wild cards!
Hongmi and Lu Wenjun looked at each other, and in the end they could only smile sadly.
Gu Xing held his chin and watched helplessly as all 16 teams found their respective destinations.
Group A: VG, SKT, G2, C9
Group B: R, Splye (European snake)
Group C: FW, SSG, H2K, ANX (CIS external card)
Group D: TSM, EDG, AHQ, INTZ (Brazil wild card)
The determination of the grouping situation is destined to cause an uproar on major social media!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
A little late.
The main reason is that grouping is crucial, and it took me a long time to confirm that there were no bugs.
Knight's backstab is really awesome.
He doesn't hide it, he actually holds the mouse with his right hand, right?
