260: The birth of Guodian and the arrival of the focus battle!
"Brother Xing, can you comment on EDG's withdrawal?"
At the class reunion in the town, some classmates came curiously and asked, "What are they planning? I read a few statements from the club and they looked like they were joking."
Gu Xing didn't know how to answer for a while.
He is not an employee of EDG, so how can he know what the club is thinking?
Moreover, even if Gu Xing knew the specific situation, he couldn't explain it clearly to his classmates. He could only act as a riddle man and understand everything he said.
Mainly because he can easily set the rhythm when he talks a little bit.
Gu Xing suspected that if he was talking about EDG now, tomorrow the editor of the marketing account would start to write a title without the account book for the sake of traffic - shocking, the first person in League of Legends e-sports in the country criticized EDG and lost his face!
Before Gu Xing could speak, Ding Ran wisely took over the topic, "Anyway, EDG is the only scorpion to pull a daddy this time. I have never seen fans who can destroy other embassies."
He couldn't stop laughing when he said this.
Not only Ding Ran, but also most of the students in the private room who were interested in LOL e-sports were very happy.
EDG's withdrawal statement stated that they were unable to participate because they could not apply for a visa.
As a result, Piggy immediately rushed to the Polish Embassy and blamed the visa issue on the other party.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Even though EDG personally killed more than half of their fans in last year's World Championship, there was no problem in working together to attack the Polish Embassy!
For a moment, the embassy’s official blog was filled with smoke and smoke, leaving passers-by stunned.
The history of e-sports is called Blitz Poland.
The Polish Embassy is not a vegetarian either. It followed the EDG official blog and then claimed that it had not received the visa application materials.
Now that the matter has come to an end, the influence of retiring from the competition has officially left the circle!
Being able to induce other countries' embassies to issue statements, which is somewhat outrageous, may be the most ruthless job in the history of this industry.
Seeing that the Polish Embassy was criticizing itself, EDG issued another statement saying that it was due to the lack of materials and lack of time to file due to the temporary residence permit in Shanghai.
Piggy, who was extremely capable of fighting, and a group of passers-by who were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, went to the Shanghai police's official blog to ask questions. They forced them to come out and then issued a statement saying that it was not difficult to apply for a temporary residence permit as long as they had the skills.
At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that EDG is lying.
Various excuses were given to the spectators in the competition area, and then they were slapped in the face by the officials one by one. They just didn’t want to participate.
This finally ignited the anger of netizens!
"I feel like EDG did it on purpose," the classmate who had previously verified Gu Xing vowed that his reasoning was correct. "If you don't want to participate, wouldn't it be enough to withdraw early?"
"Now that he doesn't want to go, it's really a shame for him to not let other clubs go!"
IEM events are becoming increasingly marginalized, and their dates coincide with the spring splits of each region.
Some teams do not want to delay their league results by participating in IEM, so it is normal for them to withdraw from the competition.
For example, SKT, SSG, and C9 all issued statements to withdraw from this Polish IEM.
However, after receiving the invitation letter, they immediately explained the situation and gave up the competition, allowing brother teams from the same division that were willing to participate in this event to fill in, leaving enough time to apply for a visa.
EDG was good. After waiting for more than half a month, the game was about to start. Netizens were waiting to see them go to Poland to play against teams from outside the division. The benches were all moved, and melon seeds and drinks were all arranged. However, the official blog came out at this time and said that because
Unable to attend due to visa issues.
It makes other LPL teams want to go overseas to experience and have no chance.
"The boss of EDG is quite interesting," Ding Ran excitedly came to Gu Xing's side, holding up his mobile phone to read the news. "He was scolded by netizens and responded, 'Do the trolls want to destroy Chinese e-sports?' Hahaha."
Ouch..."
Gu Pan picked up a piece of yellow croaker and interjected, "I'm not telling you that EDG's marketing and public relations skills are too poor. Wouldn't the boss come out and make such remarks to add fuel to the fire?"
After the public opinion fermentation of previous lies, EDG can no longer be cleansed in the eyes of netizens.
At this time, the loudest thing is to keep silent and pretend to be dead.
As long as this wave of public opinion shock is over, when the spring split restarts and EDG's performance improves slightly, it will be over. Once the popularity subsides, netizens will look for other fun.
The boss of EDG insisted on showing his face and made explosive remarks, directly standing in the opposite direction of public opinion!
Gu Xing can't express opinions, but he can eat melons.
Open the anti-pressure bar, and the top posts are all comments about EDG's retirement incident.
The art troupe is still working steadily, with all kinds of photos at their fingertips, which can always make people laugh.
Gu Xing saw that someone had transformed a group photo of EDG players into unspeakable costumes, making it look like they were really going to blitz Poland.
Some people even joked that the initiator of this blitz on Poland was Gao Dewei. Since the flags of Poland and Indonesia happened to be reversed, Wei Shen might not have been able to tell the difference and sent the wrong visa information.
Gu Xing worked very hard to suppress his laughter and kept saving various memes.
Of course, most netizens are still criticizing the EDG boss.
The phrase "Do you want to ruin Chinese e-sports?" was surprisingly effective. To a certain extent, it really helped the team attract a lot of firepower and made many people come to scold him.
[Chinese e-sports? It’s really amusing to me. EDG can always pull the flag and pull the flag, it’s so majestic!]
[If EDG used this word after winning the S5 mid-season, I would still be able to accept it, but do you deserve it now? 】
[If you do something wrong, you won’t be allowed to talk about it. If you say you are a troll, the logic is like this, Sister Li]
[To tell you a joke, the team that contributed famous scenes to the top eight of the World Championship every year said that we ruined Chinese e-sports by criticizing him]
[I was just beaten up by Little Peanut, if Chinese e-sports is so virtuous, send it as soon as possible]
【EDG?Guodian!】
Netizens picked out the two words in the middle of Chinese Esports, used Guodian to mock EDG in a weird way, and gave the opponent a new nickname.
Gu Xing looked at his cell phone, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his girlfriend beside him, who was staring at the dishes on the turntable on the round table. Just as he was about to hold the turntable with his fingers, a classmate on the other side of the table did not notice her movement and moved the turntable on his own.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shen Guanshan couldn't help but shrink back his fingers.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked in a low voice.
Shen Guanshan didn't expect that her boyfriend would suddenly look at him. He was stunned for a moment and felt embarrassed, "... I'm choking."
Gu Xing waited for the other students to finish taking the dishes and then helped hold the turntable.
My girlfriend quickly took two pieces of crab body into the bowl and kept mumbling, "I don't know who put the turntable on the dining table first. It's too unfriendly for a person like me."
Especially when having dinner with many classmates with whom she is not so close, she always encounters this embarrassing problem.
Every time I want to move the turntable, I have to scan them one by one and only dare to move the table when I see no one is taking food.
If you really can't do it, just eat what's in front of you.
Gu Xing laughed softly and nodded repeatedly to agree with her point of view, "Yes, not at the dining table!"
I also picked up a piece of crab and stuffed it into my mouth.
The eighteen-choked crab is one of the famous dishes in Ningbo. Each piece of crab is pickled raw and has crab roe on it. The meat is smooth and tender and very sweet.
As soon as he spit out the crab shell, some classmates came to ask for a photo.
"Brother Xing, I really didn't expect that there are students in our class who can win the world championship," the other party enthusiastically patted Gu Xing on the shoulder, "I am a big fan of yours now, and I will definitely support you when the champion skin comes online!"
Everyone had eaten and drank enough. When they saw someone taking a photo with Gu Xing, they rushed to wrap him up in the middle.
This winter vacation class reunion actually centered on Gu Xing as the absolute core.
Everyone surrounded him like stars holding the moon, and all topics revolved around him.
Among a group of well-behaved college students, an unconventional person suddenly jumped out and chose to drop out of school to play professional e-sports. Moreover, he was very successful and even became the league's first FMVP player. It was inevitable that he would attract attention and become the center of the topic.
Gu Xing is a well-rounded person who is not nervous at all when faced with the crowd. He can also take care of the feelings of all his classmates to prevent anyone from being left out. From time to time, he takes the initiative to open up topics and chat with each other.
"Do you think he looks like a big peacock?" Gu Pan whispered to his friend while standing outside.
Shen Guanshan looked at the elated boyfriend in the circle, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise, and his eyes softened, he took out a piece of black chocolate from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.
Just like when she was a student, she huddled in a corner, silently watching Gu Xing and his classmates talking and laughing, her mind filled with fantasies that seemed unrealistic at the time.
But now the dream has come true.
…
The day before Gu Xing left Zhenhai, he went to book a house with his parents.
Since neither he nor his family knew much about financial management, and he was not sure that his savings would rise faster than the mortgage interest rate, Gu Xing simply paid the full amount.
Nowadays, the housing prices in Zhenhai are relatively low. Excluding the surrounding areas of the town, the housing prices are basically around 10,000 yuan.
Gu Xing's World Championship bonus has not yet arrived, but it is enough to pay off the house in one go.
However, now that the off-plan housing system is prevalent, you have to wait until summer to officially get the house and start decorating it.
"A house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, wow..." Gu's mother's gentle face was full of happiness, and she stroked Gu Xing's head with her calloused palms, "In the future, you and Panpan don't have to squeeze in the gap anymore. It’s time!”
"Your dad and I will live in one room, and you two brothers and sisters will each have a room. The remaining smaller room can be reserved for you to do any live broadcast!" She started planning with joy.
A year ago, Gu's mother wouldn't have dared to think that she would be in the spotlight of her son so quickly.
"There's also a bathroom. I'm tired of having to wait in line every morning to go to the bathroom!" When she said this, her tone was full of relief.
It’s really hard for a family of four to squeeze into one bathroom every day.
Especially in summer.
Ningbo is already humid and the days are really difficult.
"I think the decoration in the model room is quite good," Gu's mother sincerely praised, "This house is great!"
The warmth from his mother's palms was particularly clear in the cold winter. Gu Xing put his arm on his sister's shoulders, "How about Gu Mufen? Thanks to your brother, you will be able to have your own time when you come back from the holidays." House, why don’t you praise me quickly?”
Gu Pan muttered something dissatisfied.
Her childhood, which was not rich, gave her a good understanding of money.
But when she actually saw her brother paying out more than one million to buy the house without changing his expression, she was still deeply shocked.
Gu Pan thought of the grand plan that Xie Tunan would launch in the next year, and a little hope arose in his heart.
Maybe I still have a chance to catch up with Gu Xing?
Gu Xing returned home and turned on the live broadcast as usual.
During this half-month holiday, he will be online on the national server basically every day, setting an example to maintain the harmony and stability of Ionia.
After being sniped by professional players and anchors who had gathered together, a large number of crews also chose to stop their activities and not go head-to-head with Gu Xing and others. They took a break from the limelight and waited until the leader returned to the Korean server.
After the actor disappeared, Gu Xing originally thought there was no chance of success.
As a result, I found out that there was an unexpected surprise!
A large number of professional players have returned to high-level divisions in the first region, directly improving the average level of qualifying!
It's normal for a game to start with several professional players who have nothing to do.
Ionia’s King of Quality Bureau quickly attracted heated discussions among the audience.
Many UP owners at Station B have begun to work as OBs for various high-end e-commerce bureaus, hoping to seize the opportunity to gain popularity.
Moreover, the comprehensive strength of professional players is here, and all kinds of amazing magical operations can be said to be at your fingertips, which is a pleasure to watch.
During the Chinese New Year, there are endless highlights about the operations of the players in the Dianyi High Division.
Just a few of Gu Xing’s blind monk videos have been viewed over one million times!
If EDG hadn't made some mistakes, he felt that he would be responsible for all the hot searches in the LOL circle during the Chinese New Year!
After playing two qualifying games, Gu Xing returned to the performance interface and saw that he had risen to the strongest king with 777 win points, and he suddenly smiled with satisfaction.
Taking a look at the time in the lower right corner of the desktop, I guessed that dinner would be served soon, so I didn’t continue queuing, but chatted with the audience in the live broadcast room.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Did you see? The live broadcast duration for February has been decided in advance by my buddy, and an extra 22 hours have been added!" He saw the data in Douyu's backend.
, happily showing off to the audience, "I see who will dare to say that I am a lazy dog if I don't live broadcast?"
Gu Xing finally felt proud and even criticized his teammates by name.
"Look what Jack is doing?" He pointed at Yu Wenbo's unopened live broadcast room, "The last live broadcast time...15:57 on January 29, it's been more than half a month!"
The barrage was still laughing.
Several of Yu Wenbo's biggest fans huddled in his place to watch the live broadcast. Although they felt very unhappy when they heard Gu Xing's teasing.
But I can't find any reason to refute it.
Jack is now a true lazy dog, adhering to the principle of not broadcasting live unless necessary.
In this joint action against the Dianyi crew, Yu Wenbo also made a great contribution, and he was able to play four or five ranked games a day during the holiday.
But it’s not live broadcast!
If fans want to watch it, they have to go to the OB anchor to find Jack, which actually feeds them in disguise.
The end of every month is when Yu Wenbo plays crazy extra time, and it’s almost impossible to see him at the beginning of the month.
Moreover, it is only broadcast for 40 hours per month as stipulated in the contract, and it is impossible to add even more hours!
Jack's ideas were unpretentious.
The reason for becoming an anchor is to make money. Why do I still need to start a live broadcast when I already make money from my career?
If the live broadcast contract was not in his own hands, Yu Wenbo would not even be able to broadcast 40 hours a month!
After Gu Xingrui finished commenting on his teammates, he brought the topic back on track.
"I will return to the base tomorrow. This should be the last live broadcast on the national server in the near future," he said seriously. "Many players have been rushing to Shanghai in the past two days. It is estimated that everyone will withdraw from Ionia."
"The operation to arrest the crew may have to come to an end...but we will definitely come back," Gu Xing said in a serious and sincere manner, "As a player, there is not much I can do. In the final analysis, I still have to rely on the official to introduce more severe punishment and sanctions.
.”
He privately talked to Jin Yibo about the problems of the TV series.
The other party only said that there would be corresponding solutions, but did not specify what they were.
Gu Xing simply put pressure in disguise during the live broadcast.
"This year's World Championship will be held in China, and all teams will use our servers for training. We can't let actors run rampant, right?"
The questions he raised were very realistic.
The S7 season is the first time that the LPL division has hosted the World Championship. If it is not done properly, the impact will be quite bad.
At least this year, disciplinary measures against actors are essential!
After Gu Xingyan reached this point, he heard his mother calling him to eat, so he waved goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room.
The barrage was really disappointing.
[Starting tomorrow, Ionia will be ruled by those bastard actors again]
[This is the end of the hot-blooded boy series, send it! 】
[Can’t professional players return to the Chinese server to play like they did during the Chinese New Year? Why do they have to go to the Korean server]
[There are differences in version update speeds. Professional guys have to adapt to the version in advance. You see, the national server client is still there to play 7.1. In two days, the professional arena will directly open 7.3. What do you ask them to do when they call?]
After Gu Xing finished watching the barrage, he officially disconnected the stream.
At noon the next day, he got on the train to Shanghai, ready to concentrate on training seriously.
Gu Pan sat next to him and played with the computer.
Gu Xing turned his head to look and found that it was a CG video.
"What the hell?" he asked curiously.
"Werewolf's reworked video," Gu Pan's fingers were tapping quickly on the keyboard, "Fist, let's give them a break during the game to promote it..."
Gu Xing suddenly realized.
Warwick, the werewolf, has been redesigned recently, and his Q has become an adsorption skill, which looks very interesting.
Officially launched in version 7.2.
However, due to the New Year holiday, the national server has not yet been updated, and Gu Xing has no chance to use it.
However, looking at the ranking information displayed on the Korean server data website, it seems that the popularity after the redesign is not ideal.
The main reason is that the hero himself is afraid of being charged when entering the battlefield with his ultimate move. The large amount of blood-sucking makes him very afraid of serious injuries, and he is severely limited in high-scoring games.
"Do you know that a new pair of heroes will be released next?" Gu Xing wanted to get some information. "I heard that Vincent said that he and his girlfriend were used as prototypes to create them. He has been showing off to me a lot during this time."
Riot often uses its employees as creative models.
Founders Ryze and Taitamir and others all have their own heroes in the league.
Gu Pan nodded slowly, "LKS is responsible for contacting the translator. He said it was a vastaya couple, but the more specific skill set has not been released yet. I heard it seems to be a combination of feathers."
There are characters like Ahri, Poodle, etc. in Vastayali, which are very playable, and Gu Xing is looking forward to it.
"Sounds very cool..." He imitated the exaggerated tone of a well-known designer and said, "It really gave Vincent a big advantage."
Vincent's work ability is very outstanding. After returning from the S6 World Championship, he was promoted to the player management director of Riot China. He is usually responsible for contacting LPL players.
This year's World Championship will be held in China again. If he performs well, he will probably continue to be promoted.
Within the fist, this rising speed can be described as a meteoric rise!
After returning to the Shanghai base, Gu Xing took a shower first, then went downstairs into the training room and found Kuro sitting on a chair holding a glass of iced Americano and sipping.
"I'm sorry, you didn't go back during the Chinese New Year?" Gu Xing was shocked when he saw Li Ruixing's table covered with plastic coffee cups.
"Yes," Kuro nodded, "We don't take the Lunar New Year that seriously, so we might as well stay at the base."
South Korea mainly celebrates Mid-Autumn Festival and Christmas. Although New Year is also a major festival, its importance and meaning are obviously different from those in China.
Kuro just came from South Korea last month. He didn't want to go back again, so he might as well stay in the training room and have fun.
He played 220 ranked games during the entire holiday and directly reached seventh place in the Korean server!
"Awesome," Gu Xing sincerely praised, "your energy is really terrifying... I suspect that you are full of ice-American style."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Where is it?" Kuro's Chinese progress is not slow. Although his accent is a bit problematic now, he can still be understood. "I just type it casually.
Have fun."
His attitude is very humble.
Gu Xing couldn't help but curse.
Just playing for fun = 220 Korean server game rankings in 14 days?
Why don’t you go to heaven!
Seeing his teammates working so hard, Gu Xing had no reason to be lazy. He turned on his computer and returned to the Korean server to adapt to the new version without taking a break.
After the massive changes at the beginning of the season, designers are currently tinkering with patches.
This will lead to changes in game intensity, which will then affect the game environment.
Hongmi also emphasized the upgrading and downgrading of role priorities during the holiday collection meeting.
He used a projector to put the details of the version changes on the screen so that everyone could see them clearly.
Not all players will read the patch changes carefully.
Especially during the New Year holiday, several domestic players were playing the 7.1 version of Ionia, and Redmi had to deliberately emphasize to them the concept of hero strength and weakness after the 7.3 patch update.
"The five supermodel monsters in the 7.1 version will basically take a beating. Qinggang Shadow's Q second-stage extra damage has been cut by 20%, W's slowing effect has also been reduced, E's mana consumption has increased, and the stun duration has been reduced.
And the attack speed will only increase when hitting a hero..."
Even R [Hex Ultimatum] was slashed.
Except for the passive, all four skills of Qinggang Shadow were cut in just one version!
It can be regarded as making League of Legends history.
It is enough to prove how terrifying Qinggangying is as a supermodel in version 7.1!
"However, according to the data we currently have, Qinggang Shadow is still the best among the top units after being completely weakened. It is a well-deserved version T0!"
Hongmi continued, "Poodle is also in the same situation. In version 7.3, the sprint distance of his Q has been shortened, the control-free effect of the enhanced W has been removed, and the disguise duration of the R skill has been reduced, but it is the same as Qinggang Shadow.
, Rengar’s priority is still very high.”
At this point, he changed the subject, "Please pay attention, there is a jungle character who has also been strengthened, and is almost on an equal footing with a poodle..."
"Male spearman, right?" Gu Xing nodded to indicate that he understood, "I've been practicing recently."
The enhancement of Graves is not a direct increase in skill value.
It's a modification of the mechanism.
Originally, the pure man's passive could only be refreshed by attacking non-minion units.
Now it can be turned into a level A skill.
It looks unremarkable.
But for male guns, crossing the middle lane in the early stages of the game will definitely result in passive loss.
Now the skills can be continued to be pure. Use smoke bombs to kill wild monsters through the wall, and you can keep the high-level passive and continue to clear the wild!
The jungle strength of male guns has been significantly improved.
In the carnivorous jungle version, the male gun with a full layer of pure manly effect can completely move sideways in the jungle, and the opponent has no way to deal with it!
"Relatively speaking, Mantis has been weakened less. The main reason is that the strength of the Q skill has been cut off... But anyway, Kha'Zix will basically not choose to evolve Q in the professional arena now, so this knife is not painful at all."
Hongmi shrugged.
Gu Xing lowered his head and flipped through the information.
After the changes to the wild area in version 7.3, it became an environment where male guns, poodles, and dogs appeared side by side, followed closely by characters such as Mantis and Blind Sin.
The overall situation of carnivorous jungle hegemony has not changed.
"The Enchantress got a small chop. There is a saying that the changes to the mid lane hero are really small. Compared with the 7.1 version, the changes are minimal..." Hongmi drew a circle on the screen with a laser pointer, "Rui Xing, you
That’s what you need to pay attention to.”
"Sprint has been nerfed."
The Ghost Step that dominated the S6 Summer and World Championships was finally killed by the designer in version 7.3!
From the original activation, the full movement speed bonus is triggered immediately, and it takes 2 seconds to increase to the full movement speed.
"But the priority of teleportation in the middle is still too low," Kuro had his own thoughts. "Except for characters like Karma and Ice Girl, the mid laner basically doesn't carry TP now."
Hongmi explained, "Sprinting has been cut, and teleportation is still less cost-effective. Riot is encouraging the mid laner to carry skills such as ignite healing..."
Kuro's expression changed instantly.
What's the meaning?
Don’t let the offline game go away?
How can that work!
Li Ruixing felt uncomfortable all over if he was not allowed to help in the jungle!
Moreover, Kuro is self-aware that his line-up has always been a weakness, and he is a top-level goalkeeper in the world.
Isn’t that fist disgusting?
Gu Xing saw that his mid laner had something wrong with his expression and hurriedly put his arm around his shoulder, "Don't worry, there aren't many mid laners in the LPL who are particularly strong in laning, it's no problem if you choose!"
Currently, Song Yijin is the only one recognized as a laning madman.
The next meeting between VG and IG will have to wait until April.
It's early.
"As for the bottom lane, no hero on the ADC side has been weakened, including Verus. I really don't know what Riot is thinking!" Hongmi laughed dumbly when he said this.
For extremely perverted bug-level characters like Qinggangying and Enchantress, the designers worked hard to earn some points to prove that their salary was not in vain.
It's better to be here in Verus, there is not even a little change!
When Jack heard that he didn't have to practice a new hero, he immediately smiled and lay down on the chair, revealing his slightly bulging belly.
After returning from the Chinese New Year, he gained weight again and gradually evolved into a juvenile wine barrel.
"The auxiliary position is mainly to weaken Zyra, increase the mana cost of Q, and then the first target after activating the plant will no longer blindly select the enemy hero, but the nearest unit as the target."
This knife cuts really hard.
Zyra's mindless consumption intensity during the laning phase suddenly dropped off a cliff!
"It is worth mentioning that Lulu has been strengthened," Hongmi showed them the changes, "I have recently been studying the possibility of swing position..."
"In short, the 7.3 version has not changed. There are three lanes plus the jungle area. Only the playing style of the middle lane has changed, which may put more emphasis on the strength of the line. The rest are based on the modification of the hero's values." The coach began to give reassurance, "Everyone, relax
As long as your heart is in good condition, if you train properly and get familiar with the role, we can still remain competitive!"
In his opinion, as long as no drastic changes are made to the jungle area.
The strength of the eldest father in the team, Gu Xing, will not be weakened in disguise, and VG's strength will be sufficiently guaranteed!
Life after vacation is very regular, just boring training day after day.
Time flies and February 27th arrives in the blink of an eye.
VG is about to start the first round-robin match between groups.
The opponent is none other than EDG, which has been plagued by scandals recently!
