Gu Xing and his teammates were watching the last game of the group stage in the municipal auditorium.
Originally, he was the only one who came to participate in tonight's knockout draw ceremony as the VG player representative, but several teammates were really bored in the training room.
There is a shortage of junglers and it is impossible to schedule a training match. Anyway, the venue is only a quarter of an hour's walk from the hotel, so it is better to get together and join in the fun.
Players from other teams also think so.
The backstage is now crowded with people, sixteen teams are gathered together, Chinese, Korean, English, Russian and Portuguese are mixed together and it is extremely noisy.
Gu Xing went to find ANX's long-haired assistant and planned to exchange team uniforms after the lottery ceremony.
The other party readily agreed.
He fell one step away from the top eight, but there was no trace of sadness on his face.
Because this is the wild card's best record in history.
It is a rare breakthrough to be able to compete with Samsung, the representative team of the world's first division LCK, for a qualifying spot.
Gu Xing chatted with the ANX assistant, and then went to chat with the Brazilian wild card jungler Revolta.
Revolta is pestering the idol factory director, and wants to get more experience points and gold coins from Ming Kai.
Mingkai was very embarrassed, and the embarrassing scene of the Brazilian jungler Lee Sin kicking him back into the crowd with a roundhouse kick is still vivid in his mind.
Although he took revenge in the second round of the group stage, no one cared.
Just like when PDD was killed by Shy and later regained his position, few viewers mentioned it.
As Mingkai's FMVP player last year, he was kicked head-on by the wild card jungler. This was not a very honorable thing in the first place.
"Waiting for the draw, if we meet in the quarterfinals..." Gu Xing smiled maliciously at the factory director.
Clearlove's body trembled violently when she heard this.
He himself knows how bad EDG is in this World Championship.
Qualifying second in the group means that the team will only draw one of ROX, VG and H2K.
If you want to break through history and go further, you have to rely on luck to draw H2K.
If they directly encounter VG in the knockout round, it will basically be an early announcement that EDG will not be able to reach the top eight of the World Championship for the third consecutive year!
The factory director thought again and suddenly showed a mysterious smile.
He looked relaxed and said to Gu Xing, "It's okay. The top eight will be the loudest if they have a civil war. If you lose the game like this, there will be no pressure from public opinion."
Clearlove finally looked away.
Anyway, whoever loses loses. If you lose to a team from other divisions, the rhythm of the Internet will definitely not stop, which is not a good thing for yourself and the club.
But if the civil war is eliminated, that is another matter. The backlash of public opinion will not be too violent.
Gu Xing was speechless by Clearlove's optimism.
At this time, the RNG players, who had lost the game and were determined to qualify second in the group, entered the background holding their keyboard and mouse peripherals.
The bangs in front of Xiangguo's forehead were damp with sweat, but his expression was relaxed and relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"Are you okay?" Gu Xing asked concerned.
Mala Xiangguo shook his head, "Fortunately, I have looked away...it will be difficult to win if the opponent is too strong."
The RNG team was plagued by problems. It was not until the eve of the second round of the group stage the day before yesterday that they finally decided to continue the idea of the first half of the year and focus on the upper half of the field with the middle and upper jungle as the core, freeing Mata to roam.
This system is very familiar to RNG, and it can be used on the field after just two rounds of familiarity and adaptation. It is a very good solution for immediate combat effectiveness.
The only drawback is that Uzi is not very adaptable.
But it is more appropriate than suddenly switching to a lower half play style and having all four teammates change their styles.
In this way, RNG can also get a qualifying spot in the group by relying on the players' personal strength and basic operations.
But facing ROX, who also focuses on the top half, they will be restrained by their style.
The Tigers' attack will be more ferocious, and the team members' cooperation will be more tacit!
It can be said that after RNG determined the play style in the first half, they did not want to compete for the first place in the group.
However, the team's original goal before the game was to guarantee the top eight, leaving the top four to fate.
Now that the group has qualified second, it can be considered that the task has been completed.
Only then did Xiang Guo feel relaxed.
"Not bad," the factory director was an optimist and encouraged with a smile, "This is the first year to enter the World Championship, right? It's already quite good to make it to the quarterfinals. Maybe we can go one step further. I really can't do it again next year.
Well."
Hearing this, Xiang Guo glanced at him suspiciously, "Really? I believe it, this is not very convincing coming from your mouth."
The implication is very obvious.
Director, you were in the top eight when you debuted in S2. I wonder if you have seen any improvement in your performance in the past two years?
Ming Kai changes his face at the speed of light and is about to turn on Dark Kai mode.
I mean to comfort you, but you stabbed me?
Gu Xing remained silent and pretended to be dumb.
He is truly impressed by Xiangguo’s top-notch emotional intelligence.
From the time I can remember when I grew up, this is the first person who can make Gu Xing feel helpless in terms of emotional intelligence.
The emotional intelligence of my girlfriend is not high, but it depends on who is the reference.
Compared with the incense pot, Shenguan Mountain is simply exquisite!
Moreover, my girlfriend knows that she is not very good at talking and is a top-notch social phobic who rarely talks to strangers, so it is difficult for her to bring trouble out of her mouth.
Completely different from the incense pot.
Gu Xing could now feel how awkward the atmosphere around him was.
Brazilian jungler Revolta can't understand Chinese, but he knows how to read people's emotions.
When he saw the change in Ming Kai's facial expression, he knew something was not right.
He wisely took out his cell phone and wanted to take a photo with Gu Xing to get the two of them out of the awkward atmosphere.
Naturally, Gu Xing would not refuse. As usual, he made the scissor hand gesture which was nothing new. He took a group photo and left the factory director and the incense pot.
Chat with the senior brother who is still immersed in the surprise of qualifying, and make an appointment with Jankos for lunch tomorrow.
Still wanting to have a relationship with Bilson, Vincent finally came over and stopped Gu Xing.
"Go on stage to draw lots. When the time comes, the VG team logo will appear on the LED screen. Just stand right below it..." Vincent gave a few simple instructions.
Riot Games specially rehearsed with team representatives last night, and the process was very simple.
Gu Xing said goodbye to him and lined up with the other seven players to leave the backstage.
ROX represents Little Peanut, who is still making the sign of the cross on his chest and muttering in Korean.
Gu Xing didn't quite understand.
But there are three English letters SKT in it!
It is estimated that they made a wish to directly distribute SKT to ROX, and before the other party has adjusted back, they will be happily sent away in one wave.
Many spectators who stepped onto the stage and bought tickets to watch the second half of the Group B match did not leave.
Anyway, we are here. There is no extra game today and it is still early. The drawing ceremony will not be delayed for long, so we can just watch it before leaving.
"Let us welcome the representatives of the four first teams of the group," the North American host introduced in a rich voice, "They are from Vig, Ra Ming and...Team Solo Md!"
Finally, he drawled out the full name of TSM.
It has been two days since the news of TSM qualifying, and the North American audience in the audience is still excited.
They banged their light sticks hard in the audience and cheered for the local team!
Player representatives from the four second-place teams in the group also took the stage, SKT, RNG, SSG and EDG.
Wolf was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood. When the camera was pointed at him, he made a gesture similar to a very 6+1, which looked very abstract.
Gu Xing thought that Li Zaiwan was so relaxed because his psychological pressure suddenly eased.
He has visited forums frequently in the past two days and has seen comments posted by Kangba on Korean websites.
Under the guidance of him and Jack, Gu Chengbin became a surfing pioneer. He would go to the I-en forum twice to get first-hand information, and then circulate it to his teammates to see, vividly and vividly, supplemented by Xinda.
Elegant translation.
As a result, Gu Xing is very familiar with the recent Korean League of Legends e-sports public opinion.
After SSG was defeated by three group stage opponents in the second round, SKT's survival environment at the Korean Open instantly became much easier.
There is a team to help them attract firepower.
Thousands of SKT fans took advantage of the trend and set the pace in the Korean Open.
We, SKT, competed for the first place in the group in the playoffs but unfortunately lost. Moreover, Benji and Virtue only played two games, so one to one can be considered a tie...
As for Blank, the number of supporters is close to zero. In the first game, Gu Xing made such a big matchup gap that SKT fans had already expelled Blank from the team.
Fans distance themselves from each other and then mock Samsung. What kind of basket is SG?
After the first round of the group stage, we boasted that we were better than SKT. In the end, we lost the wild card and LMS, and were forced to play in the playoffs to qualify in the CIS region. It was really shameless!
In the second round, Samsung's decline was fully visible, helping SKT share the firepower output of many netizens.
I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Now in the eyes of the audience, although SKT is a bit weak, but the double-championship background is here after all, and it may be able to survive in the knockout rounds.
Compared with Samsung, which can even lose as a wild card, it is simply more pleasing to the eye!
Gu Xing felt that Li Zaiwan became optimistic after seeing the muzzle of netizens deflect.
However, Wolf was treated as a war criminal by the Korean Open at the end of the mid-season last year. Now he just lost the first place in the group. In his opinion, it is not a big deal at all.
The real reason is that during the period after the Group A battle ended, SKT conducted a review of the extra match.
Now the team has made a breakthrough.
If we meet again, Wolf is confident to give VG a head-on blow!
The lottery guest, WildTurtle, came on stage wearing a crisp suit.
Gu Xing almost laughed out loud when he saw the North American host introducing him.
Brother Yegui is also a legendary shooter in North America.
He has been working as an ADC for TSM for the past few years.
When it comes to famous scenes in international competitions, it has to be the classic animation jointly created by Imp and S5 World Championship last year.
He is the iron man who hits everything with a hammer and brings out Cheng Bin's health bar.
When Imp saw his old friend appearing backstage, he was immediately dissatisfied and complained to his teammates, "Why did Xiba let WildTurtle come? Are you deliberately making me feel disgusted?"
Jack quickly comforted Gu Chengbin, "It's okay, you need to open up your game and take a longer view... You see, Brother Yegui can't even enter the World Championship now. He can only show up at the lottery ceremony. You are guaranteed to be in the top eight!"
Imp's face brightened slightly at this moment, but he immediately remembered something more important, and his face became extremely worried, "He's not going to make a fool of himself in the lottery, is he?"
Next to him, Edgar, the head coach of Samsung, was still reminiscing with his former younger brother Hongmi and complaining by the way.
"If we perform normally, we will definitely qualify first in the group. Who knew that ANX would use a black technology when we came up yesterday?"
The LCK team is relatively stable and conservative.
From a certain perspective, I am more afraid of variables.
Gu Xing changed his style of play on the spot and beat SKT in the extra round to defeat his opponent.
ANX also played the same trick, and the perfect linkage of Icebird + Poppy is still a hot topic in major forums!
In addition, the strength of the CIS wild cards this year is not weak. It can be said that they beat SSG by stealing a chicken.
"After the first game, the player's mentality was a little bit wrong. Before he could adjust, he was taught by Flash Wolf that he immediately collapsed. He couldn't show his strength in the subsequent H2K games!" Edgar put his hands on his hips and sighed.
This is the cruelty of the second round of the group stage.
When the army was defeated, no one was communicating in the team voice, and the morbid atmosphere had already doomed the outcome of the game.
Hongmi deeply agrees, "Most of the team are young people. If you encounter setbacks in big scenes, you have to pay some tuition fees."
Even though the Samsung brand is very old, the club also has world championships and league trophies.
However, those were the honors won by the blue and white duo of Samsung. By the end of 4, Samsung’s entire fortune was sold out by the LPL.
Edgar held the banner and put things together to reorganize the team, which was filled with new employees!
Top laner Cuvee and shooter Leler are pure newcomers he discovered.
Support Corejj used to work hard in a small team and had no reputation.
Crown is even more outrageous. It is one of the few players who first went to work in the wild card division and then was called back to the LCK league.
Among the entire team, only Leader An is more mature and experienced.
It’s just league experience.
Ambition is very experienced and has never entered the World Championship.
The entire team went to the global finals stage with a lot of trepidation.
With three consecutive wins in the first round, there will be no problems.
When they start to lose the game in the second round, one or two people can lead to a chain collapse of mentality of the rest of the players!
Redmi now increasingly feels that VG’s personnel composition is very reasonable.
Easyhoon and Imp, the pair of double Cs, are not only senior, but also have experience in participating in many international competitions.
There is also an alternative social fear like Gu Xing. The bigger the stage, the more exciting it becomes.
With their presence, Duan Deliang and Zhu Xiaolong will most likely not have any mental problems.
"After arriving in Chicago, remember to make an appointment to practice two more games," Edgar discussed with Hongmi, "Let's make progress together."
If Big Brother opens his mouth, Hongmi will certainly not refuse.
After all, when VG was not well-known, it was he who first approached Samsung to arrange a training match.
Now that the results of the team I lead are getting better and better, I can’t forget SSG’s help.
Dozens of players from sixteen teams gathered in the hall, staring at the TV screen.
The North American host is still emphasizing the rules, "The eight teams are divided into four groups in the upper and lower halves to fight against each other. The first place in the group will fight against the second place in other groups. It is worth mentioning that the two teams that qualify in the same group will not
Being assigned to the same half of the district, we will only meet in the finals..."
There are two transparent glass basins in front of Brother Yegui, with Pool No. 1 and Pool No. 2 marked on them, and there are four colored balls in each.
He first reached into the No. 1 pool and drew out the first four teams to determine the half-zone matchup.
The first one to be drawn out was TSM.
When Brother Yegui saw the familiar team logo of his old club, he immediately smiled happily and showed the logo to the camera.
The North American audience burst into loud roars of filial piety from their seats.
As the most popular team in North America, TSM is still the only NA team in this year's World Championship. The audience will definitely cheer and show their support with all their strength!
Bilson, who was standing next to Gu Xing, was thin and couldn't help but smile when he heard the deafening cheers.
He grew up in Europe, but found a sense of belonging in North America, which is inseparable from the enthusiastic support of the local audience.
Brother Yegui then took out the second ball.
H2K.
Gu Xing looked up at the screen and saw the H2K team logo appearing below TSM.
Jankos is also participating in the World Championship for the first time, and now he is so excited that he is incoherent, "What does this mean? Are you in the same half zone as TSM?"
"...It should be." Gu Xing answered after making a clear distinction.
"Then you and ROX are together?" Jankos said happily.
The delicate-faced little peanut looked at Gu Xing.
broken.
The same thought came to both of them.
VG and ROX are the teams that have played each other the most training games. In the past half month since they came to San Francisco, the two teams have played forty or fifty training games.
And the winning rate is extremely close.
If they are placed in the same half of the area, given their familiarity, they will definitely start a brutal fight!
Jankos couldn't be happier, "TSM is still easier to beat..."
Several people speak different languages, so they usually communicate in simple English.
Bilson understood what the other party meant, and being introverted, he pursed his lips and did not interrupt.
In my heart, I hope that H2K will be taught a lesson in the semi-finals and let the opponent know how powerful the North American Light is.
Gu Xing glanced at Jankos and saw that his friend who had known him for half a month was so gloating about his misfortune that he poured a basin of cold water on him.
"We are in the bottom half with ROX. You don't think it's a good thing for H2K, do you?"
Jankos' smile faded at the speed of light.
He recalled the grouping rules again, his voice became trembling, "The qualifying teams in the same group will not be divided into the same half zone...Does it mean that SKT is here with us?"
Gu Xing cast away a self-seeking look.
SKT entered the international competition stage, only 2015M was the runner-up, and won all other competitions!
The confidence of the double champions is here, no one dares to say that they will definitely beat them in the knockout rounds!
Jankos panicked.
He thought of his mid laner IDRyu.
Every professional player here knows about the famous scenes between Yue Lun and Faker.
History won't repeat itself again, will it?
When Bilson saw Jankos changing his face while playing Sichuan Opera, he suddenly said, "If we meet SKT, we won't be able to get juice from him!"
The representatives of the four first-place teams in each group stood together and looked back at Bilson when they heard what he said.
Gu Xing felt like he looked like an old general on the stage.
Brother Yegui in the center of the stage has finished drawing half of the area and moved to the second pool.
This will determine the final bracket for the knockout rounds.
The first ball is drawn.
EDG.
Bilson could not hide his disappointment.
EDG and them are in the same group in the group stage, so it's impossible to be grouped together.
The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room watched helplessly as EDG jumped over the upper half and appeared next to ROX in the lower half.
"Ah?" Little Peanut was overjoyed.
He has watched EDG games, a pure reverse version of the team.
In the group stage, we were staggering, and we had to lift the Fat General up to get through the danger.
Isn’t it easy for ROX to beat EDG?
Since we can't face SKT before the finals, it's good to recharge our batteries.
Peanut walked down the steps and shook hands with EDG representative Clearlove on the other side of the stage next to the Summoner's Trophy in the center.
Then, just like the exit ceremony in a dating show, they walked hand in hand to the backstage.
During the little peanut period, I also wanted to have a chat with the factory manager.
Ming Kai responded absently.
Others are numb.
Can it be drawn again?
Can I have a VG?
The EDG players backstage were even more depressed.
Before the start of the World Championship, ROX, as the champion of the LCK Summer Split, was the absolute favorite to win the championship. Regardless of the strength of the players or the level of integration, it was hard to tell how much higher it was than EDG!
There won't be another top eight, right?
Brother Yegui drew another colored ball.
When he unfolded the inner ribbon, his smile instantly disappeared.
The North American audience present felt a little bit in their hearts and suddenly felt that something was not good.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a red circle, and outward was a pair of golden wings. KT!
The double champion did not trigger the avoidance principle of different zones in the same group and came to TSM!
Gu Xing turned to look at Bilson again to see his reaction, which could also alleviate the problem of his cervical spine.
Bilson didn't expect that he would follow his words.
He actually came!
He walked down the steps and saw Wolf's chubby face.
The opponent's eyes were still shining with joy, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his top eight opponent.
So far, a total of six teams have been drawn.
Gu Xing already knew his first knockout opponent and waved hello to the team representative on the other side of the stage.
Cuvee first tried to keep smiling.
Finally I couldn't pretend anymore and my smile became extremely bitter and uncomfortable.
Brother Yegui was very supportive and directly drew the SSG team logo!
Samsung triggered the same group avoidance rule as H2K, moved to the lower half, and landed next to VG.
Gu Xing strode off the stage and came to the shining silver Summoner's Trophy to shake hands with Cuvee.
"We are old acquaintances. I will take care of you more during the knockout rounds." Gu Xing smiled brightly.
Cuvee still had the same ridiculous expression as if he was about to cry, "Why are we so unlucky? Oh, it's so miserable..."
Backstage, Edgar and Hongmi looked at each other, falling into a speechless silence.
I just said that I was waiting for the training match in Chicago.
It's good now.
Only one of the two teams can enter the semi-finals, and daily battles are simply a fantasy!
"Brother Yufan, this is really unfortunate..." Although Hongmi said this, her tone was filled with infinite confidence.
He doesn’t think that VG under his guidance will lose to Samsung!
Edgar was helpless.
The VG team has two former Samsung members, Hongmi and Imp, and he really doesn't want to kill him.
"I hope you won't disappoint me when we have a head-to-head confrontation." Edgar patted Hongmi on the shoulder, turned around and left with the team members.
The moment Gu Chengbin saw Gu Xing, he immediately started crying and howling, "Gu Gu, this lottery is too bad, isn't it? WildTurtle is really disgusting, the team can't enter the World Championship, and they have to be the lottery guests to make a nest...
"
"What should we do?" Gu Xing didn't expect to draw SSG. "Is this considered a lose-lose situation?"
They have also seen Samsung's strength in training matches.
Although it is almost boring compared to ROX, it is definitely not a good one.
This time the group finished second, it was more like there was a big problem with the on-the-spot mentality.
"It's like the first place in our group is nothing..." Brother Long couldn't stand it anymore, "Draw the strongest group for second place?"
Boss Ding Jun is encouraging the players, "Don't worry too much about the strength of the opponent. Let's just play our own game. Let's go to dinner first."
He previously said that before leaving San Francisco, he would take the team members to a big meal to celebrate the first place in the group and entering the quarterfinals.
Just selected tonight.
The VG group ran to a restaurant near the Golden Gate Bridge. Looking up through the windows, they could see the bright lights on the magnificent bridge.
The taste of beef ribs is indeed very tempting, but it is easy to get tired of it.
Gu Xing couldn't hold it any longer after eating for a long time. He sipped Coca-Cola while scrolling through his phone.
As expected, the counter bar was in full swing, discussing the division situation of this draw.
The poster gave the final lottery results.
TSM-SKT, H2K-RNG in the upper half;
Lower half ROX-EDG, VG-SSG
In a short period of time, the number of replies in the comment area reached hundreds.
[My evaluation is: Our LPL seems to be really doomed. It is difficult to reproduce the grand scene of three teams entering the knockout round in the S4 season. Is it possible that they will all fall in the top eight this time? 】
[Not satisfied with the top eight? If I had known before the start of the World Championship that LPL could have three top eight, I would have laughed out loud in bed]
[Little Peanut won’t kill the factory director, right? Please be gentle]
[Why don’t you believe in VG? I feel VG can go very far]
[Wave 1 and wave 5 are not the same game at all. Is it possible that VG kills Samsung first, then kills ROX, and finally wins SKT? Don’t brag]
[It’s okay, if they are eliminated at the same time, the three LPL teams can come back on the same flight, which will save a lot of trouble]
Jack was still wolfing down the beef in his mouth.
Seeing Gu Xing holding his cell phone, he curiously asked, "What are they talking about in the counter bar?"
He was wearing gloves and obviously couldn't free his hands to surf the Internet.
"Not too optimistic," Gu Xing simply replied, "I think it's better to have a civil war to ensure the top four."
"Wairui, you look down on people, right?" Jack grabbed a piece of beef, poured sauce on it, and bit into his mouth, "Lao Gu, you go out and work hard, I will come back and cheer you on!"
Gu Xing thought carefully for a moment and still wanted to say something.
Before he even opened his mouth, Ding Jun came over and asked what he thought of Xie Tunan's data analysis team.
Attention was drawn to it.
“It’s not bad,” Gu Xing’s evaluation was quite pertinent. “The data analysis provided is of great use. The win in the playoff must be attributed to their efforts.”
When it comes to e-sports data analysis, it is not very difficult.
As Xie Tunan thought before, this cake is indeed a well-deserved blue ocean field.
Especially in China, all major e-sports data teams are in their infancy.
Like Xie Tunan and others, the returns obtained after entering the market are much higher than those in traditional industries.
It is precisely because of this that detailed and reliable data will leave a good impression on Gu Xing.
"That's it..." Ding Jun had asked Hongmi and others before, and got similar answers, so he felt relieved, "Xiao Gu, try this crab."
After filling his stomach, Gu Xing and his teammates strolled through the streets of San Francisco at night.
The evening breeze blew against his face and the temperature was comfortable. He relaxed his body, but he saw Easyhoon next to him holding a Coke can in his hand and staring down at the ground.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xing put his arm on Li Zhixun's shoulder, "I see you were silent after drawing lots."
I don't remember him saying much during the meal.
The Marquis wanted to speak but stopped.
"You're not worried about giving up after seeing the division results, are you?" Gu Xing teased.
The two walked slowly, being left behind by their teammates in front.
"It's not like I'm quitting," Easyhoon pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, "It's just... a little melancholy and worrying."
Gu Xing was very interested, "Elaborate."
Seeing no one around, Li Zhixun hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, "I am very satisfied to be able to enter the World Championship this year and qualify first in the death group."
He looked at his jungler, "Do you know my initial national server ID?"
"'The sun sets and the journey is far away'," Gu Xing still remembers this, "an idiom in the biography of Wu Zixu."
"You should know what it means. People are approaching their twilight years but their ambitions are hard to achieve." Li Zhixun suddenly looked up at the sky. "When I came to VG, I thought it would be difficult to reach the highest point at the end of my career. It's sad.
Only then did I type the words "The sun sets and the journey is far away."
"But now I am standing at the door of the quarter-finals. Looking back, it seems like a dream."
"When I was far away from the highest point, I would not dream about impossible things," Easyhoon's voice was as gentle as ever. "But now that I am getting closer and closer to the highest honor, I feel panic."
"To be honest, this should be the last year of my peak period," he stretched out his long fingers and moved them slowly, "I can feel my condition declining."
"No, you're still pretty strong..." Gu Xing retorted on his behalf.
Li Zhixun chuckled and shook his head, "Facing SKT's game, I can understand that it is difficult to fully concentrate on the game. It is impossible to devote 100% of my heart to it."
He recalled that when he faced SKT for the first time, he was almost killed by Faker hiding the ball in the Dalong Pit team battle, and he was caught and killed twice by the aircraft combination in Gasai.
Easyhoon didn't want to admit it at first.
But the facts do not tolerate his harsh words.
"This is still Wave 1. If it drags on to the final key game of Wave 5, I don't know what will happen," Li Zhixun sighed, "That's why I feel uneasy when facing the knockout rounds."
"This year can even be said to be the last chance for my career. I'm afraid it will end in an unwilling way."
Gu Xing pondered for a long time.
It wasn't until he turned the corner and entered the alleyway where the hotel was located that he squeezed Li Zhixun's shoulder blades hard, "Didn't you say during the summer split that you wanted to defeat Faker on the stage?"
"This opportunity has come. The two games in the group stage were not satisfying. As long as we can make it to the finals, we will teach him a lesson!" Gu Xing showed endless confidence.
"As long as we can make it to the finals?" Mr. Hou repeated the words of his jungler.
Speaking from the mouth of a young player who has just stepped onto the stage of the World Championship for the first time, I always feel that he is young and frivolous and has never been beaten severely.
But when Gu Xing said these words, Li Zhixun could not sense his arrogance.
Everything seemed to fall into place without any effort.
"Okay," Easyhoon suddenly nodded vigorously, "make it to the finals and give Lee Sang Hyuk something real!"
He wanted to see the collapse of the Red Dynasty with his own eyes.
If it can fall into your own hands, that would be even better.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Turtle, I just finished the update yesterday and saw a big transfer. It was very exciting.
These two days are more daily, so the number of words is less.
We will start the knockout round tomorrow and prepare to explode.
