Seeing the team members celebrating wantonly in front of the camera, I was so excited that I could only express my inner emotions with an excited voice.
"Congratulations to VG! They defeated LCK No. 1 seed ROX Tige 3-2 and entered the final battle!"
The spotlights converged discretely and finally converged on the VG player bench.
The special effect of the shattered crystal appears on the long LED screen at the rear, turning into a logo with wings of victory!
The cheers echoed like a tsunami, as if they were about to overturn the dome of Madison Garden!
"After two years, LPL has once again entered the finals stage!" Miller's chest heaved violently. "VG, the only young player in the competition, fully demonstrated its resilience and strength in this semi-final!"
"They will definitely not lose to the top LCK teams, and are even stronger than their opponents!"
He couldn't control his volume, and his voice was completely distorted.
But at this time, no one in the LPL live broadcast room cared.
The screen is filled with comments cheering and celebrating VG!
【VG Shark is crazy!】
[Xiao Gu’s last kick was really cool!]
[The big shoe mark is engraved on Pray’s back, directly kicking the thread of the ice robe]
[VG is now the guaranteed runner-up? It’s incredible]
[Even if the promised top four are successful, why don’t you play according to the routine, VG! 】
"Good fight!" Gu Shengbin said with a shy face and put his fat arms around his jungler's neck and wouldn't let go, "Nicole is so strong!"
Gu Xing pushed Imp away and went to find Easyhoon next to him first, his tone cheerful and relaxed.
"Look...I said I can definitely make it to the finals!"
Li Zhixun looked at Gu Xing with a bright and bright smile and reached out to shake his hand without hesitation.
“Thank you so much!”
Easyhoon's eyebrows showed a bit of exhaustion, but he couldn't hide his excitement, "Thanks to you for the first half of this game."
He knew that he was in poor shape in the early stages of the fifth game and his brain was confused.
If only Gu Xing hadn't counter-crouched at level 3 to make a rescue, and got the little peanut's head to help relieve the pressure, and he didn't have to cut the screen to distract himself, he just needed to line up well.
Li Zhixun feels that he will definitely be used as a breakthrough by the Tigers!
"Don't say that," Gu Xing put his arm around Easyhoon's shoulders, "In the first wave of dragon team battles, you Snake Girl went around and dodged very well..."
It was that wave of R flashes that made him feel that all his hard work in the early stage was not in vain.
Duan Deliang next to him looked up at the sky with his hands on his hips after hugging his teammates, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Two years ago, he was still in the small county town of his hometown in Jining, debating whether to work in a factory or join a small team in Sichuan to earn a living.
Now we are going to step onto the highest stage of League of Legends e-sports!
It’s inevitable to have mixed feelings inside.
The rest of the VG training department staff also rushed up from the backstage, with boss Ding Jun taking the lead, waving a one-meter-long silver-white team flag in his hand.
"Beautiful, you played so well..." He high-fived and hugged his team members one after another, and even rubbed Gu Xing's hair affectionately, "Xiao Gu, you are a true god today!"
Ding Jun has heard of the name Little Peanut.
Know that this is one of the strongest jungle players today.
As a result, although Gu Xing was designed by Little Peanut in the entire wave 5, the overall advantage was an indisputable fact!
Many times when the team gets the late lineup, Gu Xing can still drive the rhythm in the early and mid-term, keeping the team balanced!
Gu Xing was full of confidence, "Before the fifth game, you were still saying, 'Just try your best in everything'. Now you have seen how awesome my brother is, right?"
Because of Ding Ran's relationship, the two have a good personal relationship, and it's not unusual for them to make jokes when nothing happens.
Hongmi's face was even more rosy and she was smiling from ear to ear.
Defeating ROX, the favorite to win the championship, is also a great encouragement to him! He was about to go to the World Championship with LGD for 5 years, but he could only stay at home due to various reasons. Naturally, Hongmi felt unhappy.
He wants to take VG this year to let others see his abilities!
"Hurry up and shake hands, don't wait here, wait until the flowers have withered on the other side..." Vincent joked.
Only then did the ecstatic VG players react and quickly left the players' seats to line up and head to the other side of the stage.
When Zhu Xiaolong heard the impassioned voices of North American English commentators echoing in the venue, he couldn't help but elbow Gu Xing behind him, "What are they shouting about?"
Gu Xing pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
The noise from the audience in Madison Garden has reached its peak, but the live sound effects are quite powerful, and the commentary can suppress the cheers coming from the stands.
With a smile on his face, he raised his hand to greet the audience and translated loudly to Brother Long.
"The general meaning is that after this semi-final, Zhu Xiaolong proved with his actual performance that even the authorities who did not rank him among the top 20 players before the game could not understand the game..."
Before Gu Xing could finish his words, Allen Chu pushed him hard, "Go away, are you direct editing on the spot?"
Brother Long thought about it and realized that this was not something that an English commentator could say.
Everyone behind him burst into laughter.
"By the way, how good are you doing today?" Gu Xing responded with a smile, "There are not many top laners in the world who can stop Smeb."
Zhu Xiaolong's performance in this semi-final was indeed not as impressive as Smeb's, but he still performed his task perfectly.
In team battles, whether you are in the front row of a tank taking damage, or taking out Gundam Poppy to deal damage, the results are very good.
The resources of the entire team must be skewed, and it is impossible to cover everything.
VG's lineup determines that Gu Xing will not help on the road as frequently as Little Peanut.
Being able to withstand the pressure exerted by ROX in the jungle is definitely a success for Zhu Xiaolong!
When Brother Long heard Gu Xing's praise, the smile on his face became more obvious.
The camera also followed the movement of the VG players and cut to the Tigers' players' bench.
The five ROX members looked at each other in silence, just slumped in their chairs.
They cannot accept this reality.
He went to the World Championships with great ambitions and wanted to take revenge on SKT in his strongest state.
As a result, he fell at the last step leading to the final stage!
Still lost to VG who have such a good relationship with each other!
Who can stand this? Meb can't stand the white noise filling his headphones.
But after taking off the sound-isolating headphones, waves of applause and screams poured into my ears from the stands in all directions!
He knew it had nothing to do with him.
The audience is sending all kinds of blessings and applause to the winner VG.
ROX is just a footnote in this semifinal.
Pray was still immersed in the scene where he was killed so violently by the blind monk Gu Xing that he couldn't even blink.
Compared with VG's joyful team atmosphere, everyone in the Tigers team was extremely disappointed.
It can only be said that people do not understand each other's joys and sorrows.
Although Roaring Emperor on the LCK commentary desk was very disappointed with the result of this game.
But seeing this situation, I still couldn't help but support, "ROX, who we have high hopes for, stopped in the semi-finals, but the Tigers' performance this year is still remarkable!"
"This semi-final can be the most exciting Wave 5 of this global finals. Both sides of the game deserve everyone's applause..."
Jin Dongjun repeatedly echoed, "Both teams were unable to form an overwhelming victory over the enemy, and their cards came and went. ROX also persisted until the last moment. They are already good enough, so there is no need to underestimate themselves."
plar also nodded in agreement, "I can't say that ROX played poorly. They seized every opportunity they could take advantage of. I can only say that VG was better, especially in the fifth game, with Snake's back-circling R flash and Blind Monk's weirdness.
With their roundhouse kick, this midfielder pair’s ability to understand team battles is really strong!”
The two teams of players shake hands with each other under the camera.
The relationship between the players on both sides is quite good, especially Gu Xing.
He hugged each member of the Tigers and offered a few words of encouragement.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work..."
Gloria punched him directly in the chest, "You kid hates us, doesn't it?"
Gu Xing deliberately eased the overly dull atmosphere of ROX.
"Smile more, there's no shame in losing to the world champion in a week's time!"
Pray forced a smile, "Are you so confident?"
"Of course, even ROX can win, why are we not world champions?" Gu Xing joked.
His high emotional intelligence speech made the members of the Tiger team feel a little happy in just one sentence, and the mood turned cloudy.
Little Peanut calmed down and turned to Gu Xing, "Brother Xing, you must win the finals. If you lose to SKT, you won't be able to enjoy the juice!"
The semi-finals of the first half will only be held tomorrow.
But everyone generally believes that SKT can easily defeat H2K and reach the finals.
Peanut has already regarded SKT as its imaginary enemy.
As a result, it fell into the hands of VG in advance.
Now that Little Peanut thinks about it, losing to Gu Xing is not a heartbreaking thing.
After all, the two teams have been competing in training matches for so long, and Peanut is aware of Gu Xing's strength and knows that the other team is slightly better than him.
As long as VG doesn't lose to SKT, then everyone will still be good brothers.
After hearing this, Gu Xing maintained a serious attitude and said, "Don't worry..."
"We also have reasons to beat SKT."
When he and Little Peanut hugged each other, he took advantage of his height advantage and brushed the other person's short and medium gray hair. Meb showed a happy smile and took the initiative to reach out and hug Gu Xing.
The two are of similar height and build, and have the same bright and bright smiles on their faces.
The cameraman on the side keenly captured this scene in the lens.
Using a clever composition idea, the ID marks of Smeb and Virtue on the back of the necks of the two team uniforms were shot from the side.
Li Zhixun was still discussing something with Panro, and the two of them were quite happy to talk to each other.
Gu Xing didn't understand Korean, so he didn't bother to ask about gossip. He pulled his teammates and hurried to the center of the stage, bowed to the audience and thanked the audience. Meb looked deeply forward, focusing on the back of Gu Xing, who exuded youthful spirit.
It took a long time before he looked away.
"Let's go..." He smiled at the other four teammates. His teeth were so white they could be filmed in a Crest commercial. "The next stage has nothing to do with us." Meb packed up the keyboard and mouse.
When he picked up the coat on the back of his chair, he stood on the S6 World Championship stage for the last time, looking back at Madison Garden, as if he wanted to imprint everything here in his mind.
When he saw the cameraman, he smiled awkwardly, as if he felt childish about his behavior.
When leaving the field, head coach Nofe and team leader Sejin, who had already arrived in the backstage passage, stepped forward to hug the players.
"Cry if you want, don't be ashamed, no one here will laugh at you..."
There were no other Riot employees around.
Pray's eyes were slightly red as he blamed himself, and he kept wiping the corners of his eyes with his palms.
"We really can't fight together next year, can we?" Little Peanut knew the answer, but still repeated this question that he had asked many times.
Nofe nodded and said no more.
The contracts of five members have expired this year, and no team in the LCK league can accept them all.
Disbandment is a destined outcome.
Peanut leaned against the wall of the backstage passage and sighed silently.
His eyes glanced at each of his teammates.
It reminds me of the scenes in which everyone faced power outages again and again in the old suburban training rooms in China, but still had fun in the misery.
I remember a time when salary payment was delayed and everyone couldn't even afford to eat, so they could only insist that they were not hungry.
They had no money to buy air tickets and no other staff. When they received the visa preparation, they only relied on the tour leader and manager to handle it. They were so busy that they couldn't sleep all night.
Today, the Korean e-sports league is highly developed.
ROX is not as poor as an LCK team, and is even poorer than the wild card team.
If you tell some stories about your experiences, you will be laughed at by the audience.
But little peanut knows that all of this really happened.
This period of time felt very difficult and unbearable.
But now that I think about it, I feel that those difficult days were precious.
Because he knows that there will never be another team like ROX.
"There will be a group interview session after the game. Can everyone be happy then?" Smeb put his arm around Little Peanut's shoulders. "I don't want to leave the final scene of the World Championship where we are still crying..."
Miller on the commentary desk was unaware of the exchanges between the ROX players backstage.
He focused his eyes on the VG players in the center of the stage.
Gu Xing was still thanking the die-hard supporters in the stands holding their support signs.
Miller's inner turmoil has not yet completely calmed down, and his words are still sonorous and forceful.
"VG showed a strong competitive state in this semi-final. Each of them exerted their personal strength to the extreme, and the tacit cooperation between the team is not inferior to the Tigers!"
Wawa was also full of emotions, "I am now looking forward to their performance in the finals next week. If they can continue to maintain their performance, it is not impossible for VG to win the championship!"
He suddenly remembered the previous question, "Also...how did Xiao Gu kick Pray back in the last team battle?"
The director quickly gave a highlight replay of the decisive game.
Fast forward to the second Baron Nash team battle.
"Xiao Gu got the ice ultimate move. He first put the Tianyin Wave mark on Smeb, and the Marquis Snake Girl used the big move to force the ROX people back..."
The doll couldn't take his eyes off this time, focusing all his energy on the blind monk, trying not to miss any detail.
"After recovering from dizziness, Xiao Gu flashed and touched his eyes and got close to the ROX formation," Miller answered. Then he saw the director slowing down the eye-touching action, and he immediately discovered the trick, "It's so fast!"
In the slow playback, you can see that Gu Xing's flash and eye touch are extremely smooth, with almost no lag in one go.
"Is this W flash?" Wawa guessed.
"Quie," Miller nodded in agreement, and then explained in detail, "First press the accessory eye button outside the eye range, and then press W and Flash in sequence. Since it is outside the skill casting range, the golden bell will not be cast, and Flash first, touch the eyes immediately when you come within W range."
"The final action shown on the screen was flashing and touching eyes, but in fact it was still flashing W..."
In 2016, Lee Sin's W flash was still a very difficult and unpopular operation.
Miller didn't know that before.
He only understood the specific combos of the Blind Sin after he received a notification from the backstage event production team.
"The second phase of the Q echo attack was directly triggered, and Jace flew to the side..."
The blind monk drew a figure 7 throughout the canyon.
As the figure flew across the ice, he raised his kick and kicked Pray to the side!
Miller, who had already obtained the standard answer, said, "If the blind monk uses the second Q to change the path during the W process, he can cast the skill while the echo attack is flying... so he can directly kick the raptor's tail in the air! "
The baby yelled in cooperation, "If nothing else, the fast-footed Pray couldn't react at all. He didn't even hand over the flash before he was killed!"
Most netizens in the LPL live broadcast room had the same reaction as Wawa.
【This kick is cruel!】
[7-character roundhouse kick!]
[Little Blind Monk Gu is really handsome, I will start ranking to imitate him later]
[Don’t go, your teammates will scold you]
[It’s okay, I can’t get the blind monk in the national server today, so it’s all Li Qing’s terminally ill brother]
When Shen Guanshan saw these barrages rushing away, he pursed his lips and smiled happily.
She turned her head and saw that Gu Pan also looked relaxed, and asked provocatively, "What do you think of this blind monk operation?"
Gu Pan leaned on the backrest and carefully considered his response for a moment, "One thing to say, it's not difficult in terms of operation alone, but it must be very difficult to perform that kind of operation in a high-level game."
"That's the wrong answer for you," Shen Guanshan deliberately teased her, "That's not what you said when you watched Gu Xingnan's gun attack in seconds."
"Oh, what do you know?" Gu Pan's ears turned red, he smoothed his long hair to cover it, and added impatiently, "This is the moment...and you, a guy who can't even do a roundhouse kick, still can't do it?" Are you embarrassed to talk to me?"
Shen Guanshan didn't make a sound when the painful spot was poked.
The next selection is the MVP of this series.
As expected, Gu Xing's figure appeared on the screen.
One game of Troll, one game of Kindred and one game of Blind Sin, three wins with three different characters, the statistics are all extremely gorgeous!
The battle damage ratios are 4/0/6, 9/2/11, and 3/1/10 respectively.
Won three games with a total of 16 kills, 3 kills and 27 assists!
The average matchup economy lead per game is +2235, and the average raid success rate per game is 77.7%!
Most of the audience in the stands had not yet left. Seeing such exaggerated data, they kept tapping their light sticks to cheer!
European and beautiful host Sjokz stepped onto the stage in high heels.
"Welcome to today's post-match interview session. The guest we invited is Virtue player from the VG team..."
Before he finished speaking, the audience started screaming and applauding when they saw Gu Xing's face.
There are many international students, but most of them are local North American audiences.
They felt that the ticket price for this semi-final was worth a lot of money, and the five games were played back and forth, and the excitement was completely over the top!
When Gu Xing heard the thunderous welcome, his smile became even brighter.
After introducing myself, I heard Sjokz ask the first question.
"Facing ROX in the semifinals was a difficult victory. How do you feel at this moment?"
Gu Xing pondered for two seconds, "When I first won the game, I could describe it as extremely excited. After all, I had to play five games to get the ticket to the final... But then I thought about it, and I am familiar with the players of the Tiger team.
It always feels a little weird to get to the finals by beating them."
He never denied his strong desire to win, but when he saw the lost expressions of the ROX members, Gu Xing still had unspeakable thoughts in his heart. jokz nodded repeatedly after listening to Vincent's translation, and then threw out the next question
ask.
"At the end of the fourth game today, mid laner Easyhoon's condition seemed to have declined to a certain extent, but in the decisive game he suddenly returned to his peak performance. How did the team adjust at that time?"
Gu Xing said without hesitation this time, "Due to various reasons, as the game progresses, he will be under increasing pressure, and his state will naturally fluctuate."
"What we have to do is to help share the pressure so that he can recharge his batteries. As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. The feedback Easyhoon gave in team battles also proves that the team's strategy is successful."
He was not afraid that the secret would be leaked if he revealed his plan to deal with the Marquis' distraction.
This thing can't be called a secret in the first place, and there's nothing to hide.
The key is whether you have that ability.
In the fifth game, Gu Xing and his teammates successfully saved the situation, allowing Li Zhixun to maintain his condition.
If something goes wrong and ROX is forced to play in the middle, Li Zhixun might make the same mistake again! jokz nodded slightly as if he didn't understand.
"The last question... next week in the finals, you will face the winner between SKT and H2K. Who do you think will be the final opponent?"
Gu Xing thought for a moment before responding.
"To be honest, I really want to play against SKT again in the finals. I saw some fans saying that SKT in wave 5 is the strongest, and the group stage doesn't count..."
"If we meet in the finals, I still want to prove my strength!"
He then changed the subject, "Of course, I don't think SKT will definitely make it to the finals."
As soon as this statement came out, there was a buzz of discussion at the scene.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I was asked to work overtime at short notice, so it will be a little less today.
Due to an unexpected incident, the amount of updates will be normal tomorrow.
