The next day, Gu Xing packed his suitcase and boarded a flight to Chicago with other members of the VG training department.
There are 7 other teams traveling with us, plus some Riot staff, which is almost like chartering the plane.
From San Francisco on the west coast of the United States to Chicago in the central part of the United States, the distance between the two places is 3,400 kilometers and the flight time is nearly 5 hours.
Gu Xing found his seat and was about to hang up his headphones when he saw Jankos leaning over.
"what's going on?"
Gu Xing didn't know why. As far as he knew, they were basically sitting together in the same team. The Oud's reflective brain was clearly visible in the front row. H2K's seats should be near there.
"Virtue duck..." Jankos muttered quietly, "Do you have any plans for a training match when we get to Chicago?"
Only then did Gu Xing remember.
SSG and ROX, who usually have a good relationship, are assigned to the same half zone, so there will definitely be no way for them to fight.
VG can only find a few teams in the top half.
"Not yet," Gu Xing guessed Jankos's thoughts and also lowered his voice, "How many dates do you want to have?"
Jankos nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, the more training matches the better."
They are very optimistic about VG's ability in the group stage, and everyone from the coach to the players wants to learn something.
Originally, when they were in San Francisco, the two teams occasionally played together, but the frequency was not particularly high.
Now that Jankos finally caught the opportunity of a vacant spot in VG's team training, he naturally wanted to get close to Gu Xingtou.
"I'll ask Hongmi later..." Gu Xing didn't dare to confirm.
The average strength of the four teams in the upper half is obviously not as good as the lower half where VG is located.
However, with the defending champion SKT, VG may not have to play too many games with H2K.
However, as soon as they got off the plane, Redmi reported a piece of bad news. KT refused to have a training match with VG!
As usual, there are basically two possibilities for rejecting a training match.
One is that they think the opponent is too weak and there is no need to fight with them. The team will not get much help.
VG, who once double-killed SKT in Group A, is definitely not included in this list.
Then there is only one reason left.
Kka regards VG as a strong rival in this World Championship and feels that they have hope of breaking out of the bottom half. They are preparing for the finals through the training matches so as not to reveal their tactics!
Hongmi is quite irritable.
The LCK league teams with the strongest overall strength are all unable to compete due to various reasons.
The effectiveness of training matches is bound to decline!
Gu Xing promptly informed Jankos of his request for a fight.
"H2K?" Hongmi thought for a moment and agreed, "I can't find a better choice right now, and their strength is not low."
After all, he is also number one in the group and there are star players in the team.
Hongmi seriously warned the players, "We must take it seriously and not be too lazy... If we can't get an appointment with the LCK team, we have to rely on hard work to make up for the quality."
When Gu Xing left the airport, he was still using his mobile phone to take pictures and record the scenery of Chicago.
As a result, I didn’t capture much of the scene, but the wind was extremely strong, and it lived up to its nickname of the Windy City.
In mid-October, the daytime temperature in Chicago was only around 15°C, and the howling wind made the face hurt. Gu Xing and his teammates put on their thin coats, took a simple group photo, and hurriedly entered the bus.
.
Perhaps because they were worried about the safety of Chicago, Riot Games had no intention of letting team players travel alone, so they packed them all into the hotel and stated that they must also follow the arrangements for group activities during the filming of the promotional video.
Going to the Golden Gate Bridge to watch the reverse sunrise like we did in San Francisco probably won’t happen again.
However, the eight teams that entered the knockout round obviously did not have time to go sightseeing and were ready to join the training as soon as they stepped into the hotel.
Hongmi has a full schedule every day, and the intensity is even higher than during the group stage.
Among them, H2K became VG’s main team training target.
Originally, Redmi only regarded them as a substitute for the LCK division.
After practicing hard for two days, I discovered that the quality of the training matches was surprisingly high!
What H2K is best at is attacking in the early stage. After the group stage, the entire team's average economic lead in the first 15 minutes per game was as high as 1557!
In this statistic, H2K is ahead of the world's top teams. Jankos' violent play style can always make achievements in the early stage, tearing apart the opponent's defense and delivering a fatal blow.
Although his abilities in the middle and late stages are somewhat lacking, he is prone to making mistakes if he is too impatient.
But you must know that most training games are played in the early and mid-term!
The pressure H2K brought to VG in the training matches was no less than that of a fierce tiger like ROX!
Hongmi looked at the data chart analysis sent by Xie Tunan's team from across the ocean, her face turned from gloomy to bright, and she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
What a treasure.
H2K attacked wildly in the early stage, forcing VG to speed up.
From the perspective of offensive efficiency, VG is gradually improving, moving closer to the opponent little by little to adapt to the overly fierce offensive!
This is exactly what Hongmi meant.
Having played many training matches with SSG before, he knew that his old club's current operating philosophy had become an iron turtle focusing on defensive counterattacks.
The most restrained way of playing against Samsung is to continuously attack, create an early advantage, and then slowly turn it into a victory through map control and neutral resource control!
In the group stage, H2K always did a good job in the early stages of the game, and their ability to end the game in the mid-to-late stage was due to their ability to pull the hips. In the first round, they were only overturned once by Samsung.
But VG is very proficient in this!
Hongmi felt that if this situation continued, he would almost be able to grab SSG's seven inches.
He then emphasized, "Let's not just practice the early attack, but wait until the late stage to try with H2K, make a fuss around the baron and ancient dragon, and get familiar with the ability of 5V5 team battles."
Team fighting is VG’s unique skill.
Several players have a very keen sense of team battle, and their division of labor is very clear.
A sharp knife like Gu Xing always cuts into the formation at just the right time and can pose a terrifying threat to the enemy's back row.
The double C bead combination complements each other.
Hou Ye is more stable, while Gu Chengbin is more radical.
Imp's forward movement can effectively attract skills and create a good output environment for the mid laner.
Xiao Duan and Long Ge were responsible for protecting and charging the formation, and they fulfilled their duties perfectly.
The five players are like gear components, each performing their own duties and driving the VG machine to be invincible in team battles!
In comparison, H2K seems too immature.
As long as they are evenly matched and enter the team battle stage, they will always be pulled by VG until they have no ability to resist, and defeat will be a common occurrence!
Hongmi deliberately let the players use their team fighting skills, not necessarily to ravage the opponent.
Seeing that the training match achieved the desired results, he didn't mind teaching two moves to his opponents to help H2K improve his late-stage abilities.
Everyone at H2K knew Hongmi’s intentions, so they worked extra hard and were full of fighting spirit despite repeated defeats.
Although Europe and the United States have always been known for their optimism in LOL, no team wants to end their journey as they enter the knockout stage.
His career is too short, and no one knows whether he will still be able to stand on this stage next year.
Jankos cherishes this opportunity even more.
After the group stage, netizens listed him together with Gu Xing and Xiaohuahua, known as the three new generation wild kings in the S6 World Championship.
But he knows it very well.
Peanut and Virtue are the real geniuses.
Born in 1995, I have already reached the 21-year-old mark. I am already at my peak in the League of Legends e-sports circle. How can I be called a new generation?
If we really want to compare, Jankos is the same age as Imp, who has gone through many changes and is no longer as childish as he used to be.
Koo Sung Bin has come to the World Championship for the fourth consecutive year, and he has only entered the global finals for the first time.
This year's version is just right for a carnivorous jungler like him. If it is abandoned, Jankos feels that he will regret it for the rest of his life!
During the training games, he even asked Gu Xing to ask questions.
"How on earth did VG win that extra round?" Jankos came to the VG training room during dinner time, carrying a piece of the famous local deep-dish pizza in his hand, and sat down next to Gu Xing and asked curiously, "You
Can you teach me?"
After the recent training matches, H2K’s mid-to-late teamfighting capabilities have been significantly enhanced.
Although there is still a big gap between VG and VG, it is not one-sided and can finally fight back in a balanced situation!
Jankos has built up a lot of self-confidence.
He doesn't think much of RNG, which is facing off against them in the quarterfinals, and has already begun to study their opponents in the semifinals.
If he can overthrow SKT in Wave 5, Jankos thinks his first trip to the World Championship will be perfect!
Gu Xing thought for a moment.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the overall strength of the upper and lower half of this year's quarterfinals is not at the same level. KT's side is composed of European and American teams and RNG, which has just clarified its system and has run into a mess.
After watching the lottery ceremony, many SKT fans opened champagne in forums at home and abroad to celebrate their home team’s entry into the finals in advance!
Gu Xing didn't want them to pass through so easily.
If VG wants to break out of the bottom half, it will have to be stripped of its skin and some of its tactics will be exposed for opponents to study. If KT can make it to the finals based on hard power alone without exposing any hidden tricks, wouldn't it be a big deal?
?
Gu Xing made up his mind and stopped hiding his secrets, "Let me explain in advance, this trick is only useful against stupid chickens."
"He likes to organize the three lines of troops and create sufficient room for his teammates to develop..."
He explained the general idea of Wild King Eimy.
Jankos frowned, showing an expression of disbelief, "Really or not, it's that simple?"
The legendary Rubicon master?
"Of course these alone are not enough," Gu Xing added, "In fact, the core of defeating the stupid version of SKT is to suppress the development of double C."
"As long as the economic level of Bang and Faker can be made to fall behind, this team will be very, very, very uncomfortable. Duke prefers to sideline rather than fight head-on, giving indirect pressure by pushing the sidelines..."
"Like ROX, their double C is more stable and developed. Smeb and Peanut can solve many problems on the frontal battlefield. SKT cannot play this set. Essentially, it still relies on the traditional team of double C."
Gu Xing took a slice of pizza from Jankos' hand, and when he put it into his mouth, he felt that the bottom of the pizza was crispy, soft and filled with the aroma of butter, and the cheese on top protected by tomato puree also tasted tempting.
After pulling out a bag of potato chips and giving them to him in return, he continued.
"And you must improve your ability to end the game. SKT is not the kind of team that collapses in the early stage and then sends out a team to prepare for the next game. It is extremely resilient... If you are held back by SKT in mid-term operations, wait until their key C-position equipment is formed.
, SKT is still very strong in team battles.”
This is Gu Xing’s personal experience.
If they encounter a team with poor finishing ability in the late stage, SKT will be able to drag it on forever.
In the mid-term, relying on Faker and Duke's 131-point push is very disgusting. It can create space and gather development at the fastest speed. Once the double-C equipment is formed, almost no team can compete with them!
Jankos took Gu Xing's warning to heart and didn't even bother to eat pizza. He left the VG training room in a daze with some enlightenment.
In the few days before arriving in Chicago, apart from filming Riot's top eight promotional video, Gu Xing stayed in the hotel and practiced hard.
During this period, the rankings of accounts on the US server continued to rise.
As the home base of Riot Games, the server quality is very average. If the King's goalkeeper is strong enough to compete in the Korean server, it would be difficult for him to even be a master.
After Gu Xing arrived in Chicago, his score skyrocketed. The account ‘PatrikSta’ rose to seventh place in the US server, becoming the second best player among the players in the World Championship.
The first is Jack.
Yu Wenbo plays very few training matches, and can basically get about one set a day. The rest of the time, when he is bored, he will try his best to score points.
In a total of one month in the United States, he was able to play 443 ranked games. He played more than ten games every day to maintain his touch, and his ranking was second in the US server!
"Chicago is so cool, isn't it?" Jack sucked the milkshake and leaned on the bed comfortably, "I feel like my clothes have become much smoother!"
"Quie," Gu Xing rummaged through the suitcase without looking back, "after all, the ping value is low."
Unlike the Chinese servers that are popping up everywhere, there is now only one server for the US servers.
Located in Chicago, in the middle of the United States.
When I was in San Francisco, due to the physical distance from the server location, the ping value of the US server was basically around 57.
When I came to Chicago, the delay instantly dropped to 22 milliseconds!
The difference in ping values before and after is a full 35!
Gu Xing is not a superman, but he can personally feel the reduction in latency.
Such obvious changes make the operation smoother.
For players in the strongest King tier, the improvement effect is quite significant!
This is one of the reasons why Gu Xing and Jack's scoring efficiency has been increasing steadily since they came to Chicago.
Yu Wenbo lamented his hot ranking status, and then turned his attention to Gu Xing, who was squatting in front of him and rifling through the suitcase, "Old Gu, what are you doing?"
"Look for the team uniforms, or you won't be able to wear them for tomorrow's game." Gu Xing responded. He was a little irritated because he had not yet solved the problem, so he simply poured out everything in the suitcase.
"Didn't you bring a lot of clothes with you before coming to the United States?" Yu Wenbo felt confused, "Logically speaking, one piece every day would be enough for you to wear for half a month..."
He glanced at the items Gu Xing poured out of the box, and wisely did not say anything further.
In front of you are various team uniforms, neatly folded.
C9 with Baidu Cloud logo, G2 with Black Knight style, pure white SSG with Samsung shield logo...
"Good guy," Jack was stunned, "How many team uniforms have you changed, Lao Gu?"
"22 pieces," Gu Xing was still looking for the VG team logo among the colorful team uniforms, "I changed more on the last day in San Francisco."
Yu Wenbo used his hands to pull.
He counted carefully and found that all 15 teams' uniform styles were in place, and there was no shortage of anything.
There is a piece of SKT team uniform that is very fat, and it looks like it is from Wolf.
Fortunately, the team uniforms are all lightweight and short-sleeved, so they don’t take up much space when stacked.
"My dear...you must be a bit of a stamp collector," Yu Wenbo said to Gu Xing sincerely when he saw those familiar IDs who had either been eliminated or came to Chicago, "If you still have a team uniform to wear, that's not normal, right?"
"
Changing team uniforms is not just for free. It has always been done by exchanging and taking photos together, and sometimes even leaving an autograph on the team uniforms.
When Jack thought about it, he knew that most of the team uniforms that Gu Xing brought to the United States were given to other players.
"I just want to keep good memories. Some of the players may not have the chance to meet each other in the future. Looking back, I will have regrets in the future. I didn't expect that I had to change out so much that I almost had no clothes to wear..." Mr. Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
, pulled out the only remaining VG team uniform from the corner.
He usually still has two pieces, which are enough for rotation.
I felt relieved and quickly cleaned up the dirty clothes. After washing, I lay on the bed and chatted with my girlfriend's parents.
Today, Gu Xing's first salary after supplementing the terms was paid to his bank card. Including the small game MVP bonus, the after-tax figure is as high as 350,000.
Originally he wanted to transfer half of it to his family, but his parents said that the money was enough and asked him to keep it. They just warned him not to spend it frivolously.
Gu Xing agreed and planned to choose a better house when he returned to China so that he and Gu Pan would no longer have to squeeze into a small cubicle.
Shen Guanshan answered the video call and first made sure Gu Xing was safe, fearing that her boyfriend might encounter robbery or zero-dollar shopping in Chicago, a city with simple folk customs.
Then I told him about the interesting things that happened when he was in school, and I didn't forget to cheer him up and let him perform well in the game tomorrow.
Gu Xing waved goodbye to his girlfriend. Seeing that it was not time to go to bed at 3 a.m., he simply ran to the forum and continued surfing.
From the end of the group stage to the start of the quarterfinals tomorrow, there will be a four-day truce period.
Netizens who are bored can only do their own thing, or bring e-sports news to discuss.
Gu Xing saw a post about off-site matters [Shocked! Virtue had a private meeting with a group of well-known players late at night]
He thought it was the UC editorial department, so he clicked in to see how he was arranged.
As a result, I saw pictures one after another.
It was searched and integrated from the Twitters of various external clubs.
Inside, Gu Xing held up another team's uniform and faced the camera side by side with the stars of other teams, smiling brightly.
At the end of the group stage, the official posts of each club also recalled and summarized this precious time. A large number of photos of the players were uploaded to the Internet, including photos of exchanging team uniforms.
The author of the post used the title to trick people into coming in, and there is a paragraph in the follow-up text, [I looked through the photo area of all the teams, and found that Xiao Gu is 100% in the group, and his appearance rate is higher than Faker, which is outrageous!]
The comment section below is very lively.
[Why is Xiao Gu everywhere?]
[Sister Li, the jungle is like this, so it is reasonable for the group participation rate to be high, right? 】
[Xiao Gu’s appearance conditions are simply outrageous in the world championships. Every time he takes a photo, he wins for height or face. It’s true that Qin Shihuang defeated Tyson and won]
[After Virtue retires, can he start a class on interpersonal communication? I think Xiangguo can learn from it]
[I saw a group photo of the new generation of junglers!]
Gu Xing clicked on the last comment, which also contained a picture.
A little peanut with grandma-gray hair stood at the front. He and Jankos were tall and slightly behind.
The three of them compared Scissorhands to the camera with bright smiles.
He saved the original picture and exited to browse other content.
Someone opened a post to predict the final results of the three LPL teams in this World Championship.
Most anti-bar netizens believe that VG will be successful if they can reach the semi-finals according to the pre-match public opinion expectations.
In their view, Samsung is a paper tiger.
In the second round, they were forced into a desperate situation by ANX and almost failed to qualify. This team looks very weak and does not seem to be able to give VG much hindrance.
Also predicted to reach the semi-finals is RNG.
When the Royal Family faced off against H2K, netizens generally looked down on Ryu and believed that RNG's players in the five positions were all good. As long as they performed well, they would have a high chance of entering the semi-finals!
As for EDG, basically no one is optimistic that they can go further.
There is no way, the results in the group stage are really too bad, Destiny is the second in the group, coupled with the stable top eight attributes of the bad guy, and Deft and Clearlove, two players who can perform exceptionally well in the World Championship without stretching their hips, it seems
It's not very reliable.
The pure passers-by analyzed it rationally and immediately became happy.
[The top four can have two LPLs. Isn’t this much better than S5? 】
[That’s for sure. I’d be quite satisfied if we could have two semi-finalists. We can also be considered as returning to the second division]
[It’s a pity that it’s hard to have a civil war, otherwise wouldn’t it be nice to secure a spot in the finals]
[Then next year will be the most promising year for LPL! 】
Gu Xing was put in a happy mood by the optimistic quotes from netizens. He set the alarm clock and fell asleep, preparing for the game against Samsung the next day.
It has only been four months since he started his professional career, and he is now more and more accustomed to this kind of life. He is no longer as ignorant as when he first participated in the LPL Summer Split, and his actions before the game are very orderly and regular.
After getting up refreshed, I went to clean up my personal hygiene, changed into my team uniforms, went to the training room to use customized hand heating, and reviewed various charts provided by the data team.
When the time is almost up, pull off the peripheral cables, eat some banana chocolate to replenish energy, and head to the top eight venues under Vincent's guidance.
After carrying his bag, Gu Xing just left the training room and before he left the corridor, he met Smeb wearing slippers.
He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to cheer the opponent on, "Don't let me down, we don't want to miss you in the semi-finals."
"Okay," Gu Xing reached out and fist bumped with Smeb, "I'll see you in the semifinals then."
The two passed each other. Meb's lips parted, and he finally said harshly to him, "We will not lose, ROX will definitely take revenge on SKT!"
Only by making it out of the bottom half can we meet SKT in the finals. The obsession in meb's heart makes him have a burning desire to win.
Gu Xing glanced at Li Zhixun beside him.
But VG also has reasons why it has to enter the finals.
There is only one spot in the finals, and no one wants to give up easily.
…
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the knockout rounds of the 2016 Global Finals!" The North American host with a beard stood in the center of the stage, and his loud voice was heard inside the venue, "This is the Chicago Theater!"
As a landmark theater in Chicago, there are beautiful murals on both sides, and the decoration style is quite retro.
The stands are divided into two levels, upper and lower, and are now overcrowded.
"First of all, let us invite the third seed of LCK, the second advancer from Group C...Samsung Galaxy!"
Three-star players and head coaches took to the stage one after another.
"Top laner CuVee, jungler Ambition, mid laner, bottom laner, assistant Corejj, substitute Wraith and head coach Edgar!"
Except for the coach, most of the players looked reserved.
There is an indelible youthfulness on their faces. It is also the first time for An Bixin to enter the quarterfinals. Fortunately, he has experienced many battles in the LCK league and can stabilize his mentality. He also held up the Samsung flag to the supporters in the audience.
Say hello.
To be honest, the number of fans is not that many.
The original style of play was procrastinating and it was not easy to attract fans, and the team members were all new faces, so the audience naturally didn't buy it.
The North American host politely waited for the sporadic cheers from the stands to disappear before waving his hand and pointing to the right.
“Next, I’d like to invite the LPL No. 1 seed and Group A leader Vig!”
The silver-white VG team logo appears on the LED display on the right side of the stage.
Zhu Xiaolong led the team and stood in front of the players' bench.
"Top laner Loong, jungler Virtue, mid laner Easyhoon, bottom lane Imp, support, substitute JakeyLove and head coach Hme!"
The audience suddenly burst into cheers!
In addition to a large number of international students, there are also many local North American audiences who spontaneously cheer for VG.
The 7 games in the group stage have clearly accumulated a considerable number of supporters for VG!
His playing style is smooth and flowing, and defeating SKT in the S6 season is big news in itself, and it also makes his popularity rapidly expand.
"Win, win!" Gu Xing listened to the support from the audience and couldn't help turning his head to communicate with Brother Long, "We have a psychological advantage in this round of wave 5!"
Allen Chu really couldn't stand his arrogant look, so he suppressed a smile and gently pushed Gu Xing to signal him to sit down quickly.
Gu Xing came to his seat, put on his sound-isolating headphones and reported to the referee to adjust the volume.
There was also a warm baby in his hand.
This was distributed to the team members by Jin Wenhyuk before leaving the hotel.
The temperature in Chicago is cooler, so your fingers will inevitably feel a little stiff.
With the blessing of a warm baby, it can heat the knuckles to ensure hand speed.
Gu Xing's small shop also sold this thing in winter, and he was very familiar with using it.
"Wuhu!" Gu Chengbin was extremely excited, "Samsung Nest is here, hehehe..."
"Brother Meng will be killed by me today!" He said in a fierce tone.
Imp has been waiting for this day for a long time.
He has no grudges against big brother Edgar and these new three-star players.
What Koo Sung Bin really wants to take revenge on is the club management. In the 4th season, Samsung White won the World Championship, but the salary increase offered by the top management to the five people was only 50%.
You know, the converted annual salary of the previously unknown Samsung White members was only 100 million won. A 50% increase is simply disgusting for players of their level!
Feeling insulted, the members of Samsung White decisively accepted the olive branch offered by their father, the sponsor, with an annual salary increase of several times, and ran to the LPL.
Gu Chengbin thinks about it now. As long as the LPL offered more money than the LCK, he would definitely go to the LPL.
He can't stand the style of Korean trolls who only play real severed hand models and dead mice offline. The LPL has more money, less work, and less pressure, so why not come?
In other words, only if Samsung offered himself a salary of 6 million yuan, or more than 1.2 billion won, could Koo Sung Bin consider staying in China.
At OGN at the end of 2014, that was an astronomical figure, and it was impossible to give Imp that much money.
No matter whether the top management of Samsung Club offers a 50% or 250% salary increase, Imp will not stay.
But Gu Chengbin thinks it’s my problem whether I want your contract or not. If you give me less money, you look down on people!
Today he had to let Samsung executives see it with their own eyes.
Is the Imp ID worth that much?!
"No problem, just leave it to me," Gu Xing shook the mouse, "Today, let Leader An see the power of the grumpy jungler!"
He is already very good at attacking in the early stage, and he learned a few tricks from the European blood king Jankos.
To deal with Samsung, Redmi had already explained to him the key issues in this knockout round.
Early rhythm.
As long as SSG can be suppressed with waves of offensives, Gu Xing will successfully complete his mission!
The referee's instructions came from the headphones to prepare for the start of the game.
Gu Xing adjusted his sitting posture, looked at the full custom room, and waited for Brother Long to start the game.
Accompanied by a clear and pleasant crisp sound.
The BP panel appeared on the big screen at the scene!
"VG, which ranks high in the group stage, has priority in choosing sides. They get the blue side. They come up and press Syndra first!"
Zeyuan's sonorous voice echoed throughout the LPL match live broadcast room.
The obvious Wanwan tone followed closely, "Samsung is blocking Xiao Gu's signature and the strongest jungler Leopard Girl in the version!"
Remember to do a little analysis, "After the group stage, many bans have actually been fixed. For example, the blue and red sides banned Syndra and Nidalee respectively. This is the unspoken rule agreed upon by each team."
Hongmi started changing his tactics from the second ban.
The fortune teller was sent to the forbidden area by him.
"This is obviously an unconventional position. Normally, it won't be blocked." Zeyuan was commenting on the knockout rounds for the first time. He was very excited and spoke much faster than before. "It seems that VG is targeting
Breast surgery!"
Samsung is basically a pure rookie lineup.
But to find the easiest position to break through, it is obviously the breast.
Like Gu Xing, he only came to the top league stage this summer.
Redmi has studied the SSG video.
Ruler's mentality is obviously very different from Gu Xing's.
The young man was impatient, and Hongmi felt that it would be unjustifiable if she didn't target him.
Edgar guessed Hongmi's plan.
He had prepared before the game.
"Ban Olaf, let's try to make Zanrong feel more comfortable in the jungle." Edgar determined that Gu Xing was VG's rhythm engine, and BP blocking the jungler was obviously a good choice.
The last slot of Red Rice is given to Han Bing.
"In this way, it will test Ruler's hero pool," I remember saying, "Jin and Han Bing are the characters he uses more frequently in the summer competition, and they also happen to be the version of heroes for this World Championship."
"After they are all banned, he still has the policewoman and EZ..." Zeyuan had a different idea, "No matter what, Ler can get an advantageous role."
"On the other hand, Samsung has also sent the blind monk to the ban position, and the three-ban jungler has made it clear that it will block all Xiao Gu's early roles!" The strong heroes in the 6th World Championship have not yet reached the point where a hundred flowers bloom, and each position basically only has a few heroes.
The most powerful.
There are not many options for junglers. Next to Leopard Girl is Olaf, the blind monk, and now they are all in the banned position.
"Want to see what the VG blue leader is grabbing...Zyra? No problem."
I remember very much agreeing with Hongmi's choice, "Small Duan is suitable for this kind of strong support that can hit the lane, and the early pressure will be full!"
Edgar thought for a moment, "Take the policewoman, and then snatch Rek'Sai."
He wants to completely block the jungle position, leaving only Gu Xing Spider as a choice!
Hongmi looked at the policewoman chosen opposite, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
The policewoman and EZ that I deliberately released in the BP session both have obvious flaws.
It seems like a choice between two, but in fact no matter who SSG chooses, they will fall into a trap!
"Jess and Viktor, lock down the strong characters in the single lane first, little Gu, wait until you go out to the jungle." Seeing that the opponent picked Rek'Sai first, Hongmi was not in a hurry.
"Wait a minute..." Gu Xing searched in the hero list and showed an unpopular hero with a smile on his face.
"Joker?" I remember being stunned for a moment and then laughing, "This should be a simple show of one's skills, a hero that fits the Chicago style."
The North American audience at the scene was extremely excited and continued to encourage Gu Xing to lock down.
The audience at the Chicago Theater was larger than that at the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium, and Gu Xing could hear the commotion coming from the auditorium.
"Is Gotham really Chicago?" Xiao Duan asked curiously. He had never understood it before.
"Some say Chicago, some say New York," Gu Xing answered as he fiddled with his headset, "When we go to Madison Garden for the semifinals, I will continue to show off as the clown. I can't make a mistake!"
The venue for the semifinals will be in New York on the east coast of the United States, and he made up his mind to travel there at his own expense.
Gu Xing shook the clown for a few seconds before locking Jace down.
"Samsung chose Karma and Bobby, leaving the last position to Brother Crown!" Zeyuan beamed when he mentioned it.
He has been a Crown fan since 2015 and has seen his step-by-step growth from an unknown to a top mid laner, trusting his ability to carry the game.
Redmi finally chose Yin Zeruil and jungler Spider to officially form the lineup.

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Yesterday, the chapters were drawn and there was still a rhythm.
Some people said that they were tired of watching three Koreas beheaded in a row, and said that I had to use the Flag of Command to make a fool of myself. Some people said that why ROX gave so many scenes and had to play the protagonist in the semi-finals instead of SKT.
Explain each one.
The situation in Zhan San Han is like this. VG is excluded from the top eight, and the remaining LPL teams are not drawn. S6 can't fight a civil war to climb up, right?
H2K and TSM are not popular, and most readers probably know one or two players in them.
If not the Korean team, who else can we beat?
As for the old novel, this one is the same as the previous one, both started in S6. Can readers see even the slightest similarity in the plot?
I emphasized before opening this book that it must be innovation, innovation.
I will never in my life write similar plots to trick people into subscribing. This is the bottom line.
I didn't have a choice about the teams I played against, but the content of winning the game must be different from the book.
I've used the Flag of Command once, how could I use it again? I'm tired of writing it when readers don't get tired of it.
The routines in this book are definitely different from those of roaming mid laners, so don’t worry...
Giving ROX more scenes is because there is foreshadowing!
A book is not just written for one season. There is a story behind it. I was very well prepared this time and buried the clues very deeply. As long as the supporting characters showed their faces in the previous article, they will be useful later.
As for why we still play SKT in the finals, this was decided last year because the original inspiration for writing this book came from Mr. Hou.
This is also the reason why I chose VG as the home team for this book.
Against SKT, it would be more interesting to have a bit of revenge.
