"Three to zero!" Zeyuan shouted at the top of his voice, "The third game only took 26 minutes, and VG shattered WE's main crystal!"
I remember the same high-pitched voice next to me, "After sweeping their opponents, VG successfully obtained tickets to the finals at Wukesong Stadium. They will have a peak showdown with the semi-final winners of the second half EDG and RNG on September 1st!
"
The spotlights above the dome flickered endlessly, illuminating the stage floor with a golden light.
As a regular season venue, the 9th floor of Super Brand Plaza is not very large, and the level of special effects that can be produced is also relatively average. Even props such as dry ice are not used.
However, this did not affect the roaring cheers at the scene!
VG fans were overjoyed when they saw the team they supported winning, and the excitement that erupted from their mouths was obviously an order of magnitude higher than before!
The subtitles prepared by the director were displayed on the big screen - Congratulations to Vici Gaming for winning a spot in the 2017 Global Finals!
The VG team members in the picture were smiling happily, standing up and hugging each other.
"VG is going to the global finals!" Zeyuan's voice was trembling with excitement, "We will see the defending champion in this year's world championship in China!"
To be fair, he really hopes that VG can enter the global finals.
Mainly because the rest of the LPL teams are unreliable no matter how you look at them.
Let’s not talk about EDG. They were still a good player in the mid-season, but they became pure treasures in the World Championship. They were in the top eight for three consecutive years from S4 to S6, and they never won a BO5.
The same goes for RNG. Since the team was founded, they have lost all BO5 matches in foreign games!
As for WE...the last time this ancient giant participated in the World Championship was 5 years ago!
Looking at the entire LPL, Zeyuan believes that only VG is reliable!
Now seeing VG win the ticket to the global finals, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this season is the most promising year for the LPL.
Jin Yibo, who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, was also extremely excited and gave VG warm applause.
Poppy hopes to see strong teams like VG avoid competition within the division as much as possible and put all their strength into the global finals.
Now that VG has obtained the ticket, it no longer has to fight for seats with competitors from the same division in the brutal bubbling competition. It will play fewer BO5s and avoid in-depth research by opponents from outside the division!
Jin Yibo now looked at Gu Xing on the stage, his eyes filled with admiration.
Gu Xing had no time to think about the commentary and the thoughts of Tencent's senior management. He was completely unaware of this and was still immersed in the joy after winning.
Feeling the solid strength from his teammates on his arms, he felt relieved.
VG has been highly praised by officials and competition enthusiasts in the past year. It has received extremely high attention and is also under tremendous pressure.
If this lineup, which is known as the Galaxy Battleship by the outside world, fails to enter the World Championship, Gu Xing can't imagine how it will be ridiculed by the outside world!
After winning this BO5, VG was guaranteed to be the second seed in the division, and he felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly ease.
"You played well today!" Smeb patted his head affectionately and laughed heartily, "We are going to S7!"
Counting this year, Song Jinghao has entered the global finals for three consecutive seasons, so it should be normal for him to be calm.
But he still felt extremely novel.
Because this time Smeb represents LPL and VG.
In last year's World Championship, he was filled with joy after winning the Summer Championship. He believed that the LCK Autumn Championship was within reach and that he could easily crush SKT.
Unexpectedly, I was sanctioned by VG halfway through, and only gained one semi-finalist!
Although the semi-finals of the World Championship are already areas that Mingkai has never touched in his life, Smeb is not satisfied and is even upset about it.
Fortunately, now, after he joined VG, the main culprit who knocked the Tigers out of the competition was his own jungler!
Smeb once again entered the World Championship, and he wanted to put his hands on his hips and scream to the sky three times.
Who else?
This year we must overthrow SKT!
"What do you think, should I succumb?" Kuro was still showing off to Jack, "Let's play Lucian vs. Dansha Xiye!"
"Even if we don't have an MVP in this game, our role will be greater than yours!"
Jack frowned and fired back, "The opponent just made a mistake in a hurry, this cinnabar doesn't count!"
"Ho ho ho, don't make me laugh," Li Ruixing said happily, "If everyone didn't make mistakes, how could there be a solo kill in the game?"
Double C once again started to argue with each other, but the overall atmosphere was cheerful and joyful.
After entering the LPL Summer Finals and getting tickets to the S game, everyone is now relaxed physically and mentally, and even their voices are raised an octave.
Five people line up across the stage to find each other and shake hands after the game.
Enjoying the cheers from the audience along the way, the smile on Gu Xing's face became more and more obvious.
You can also hear live commentary along the way.
"We are having a pity today for Queshi. We were continuously crushed by VG. I feel like there was something wrong with my mentality in the last game. I didn't have any effective counterattack in the whole game!"
I remember hearing my partner's words and agreeing with him, "Yes, maybe it was because the failure to win several team battles in the second set in a balanced situation affected my mood..."
"I can only wish them good luck in the next battle for third and fourth place as well as future bubbling matches. The 2.0 version of WE has lost its youthfulness and is now the red team's most promising one to enter the world championship in the past five years. season, I hope WE can get what we want!"
The director's camera slowly followed the steps of the VG players and came to the WE players' bench.
The expressions of the five WE members can only be described as devastated.
Xiye sighed, feeling that he had made a lot of low-level mistakes in this BO5 match, which he shouldn't have done.
He looked up and saw the evil smiles on Kuro and Jack's faces. He was immediately furious and his already round face became even more bulging.
"Hey, isn't it a good night?" Yu Wenbo was proficient in the ability to put on a face, and started to change his attitude with a playful smile, "Why are you acting like this today?"
"Go, go, go!" Xiye let go angrily, "Don't do it in this barber shop. If you win a match, you'll be spoiled!"
Yu Wenbo's eyes widened, "A game? When did you beat me?"
Gu Xing saw the two people laughing and joking, and looked back at Kandi, who was facing him.
Xiang Renjie bit his lips tightly, looking very unwilling.
In three games, no matter what lineup WE chose, he was crushed by the opponent!
There is no rhythm during the laning period, and the team fight period starts to become invisible...
Anyone who comes to see it will have to comment on the jungle gap!
Condi recalled his heroic words before the game, and his face felt hot.
Gu Xing was not surprised.
Every time I shake hands and look at the opponent's jungler after a game, it's mostly like this.
The average person is sad and doubtful about life BUFF.
"Come on," Gu Xing patted Kandi on the shoulder and said something comforting, "I hope we can play against each other again in the World Championships."
The smile forced on Renjie was full of bitterness.
How easy is it to reach the global finals?
There are only three spots in the LPL. If WE wants to enter the World Championship, we have to squeeze out RNG or EDG!
In its current state, WE has no chance of winning no matter who it faces!
The handshake only lasted a few seconds, and Gu Xing didn't have time to take care of the other person's mood. He simply said goodbye and walked past.
Facing you is Brother Leg.
957 rubbed his temples, barely carving the word helplessness on his face.
In the entire BO5 game, he was no different from losing.
As for the mistake, it was Gu Xing's fake vision return to the city in the second game that led to him handing over the flash.
The rest of the time, 957 is just quietly doing some last-ditch damage online. He will definitely be there when his teammates join the team, and he will work diligently in the front row to provide tanks and control for the team.
Then the competition was sent!
Is this the top order?
Jungler Kandi didn't come to help, and the number of ganks launched against the top lane in the whole BO5 game was only a handful!
Ke Changyu felt deeply powerless and felt that his position was really limited in his ability to control the battle situation.
957 saw that the teammates in front of him had finished their friendly handshakes with the VG players and were already packing up their peripherals in their seats and getting ready to polish them. He was already in a depressed mood and became even more unhappy.
If you play as a top laner, not only will you be marginalized in the canyon, but you will also have to wait until the last one to shake hands after the game!
When professional players lose a game, they basically want to run away from the stage as soon as possible - the applause from the audience is not meant for them, and they will probably feel ironic when they hear it.
Who wants to stay on stage and watch the winner who has just ravaged them look so proud?
Gu Xing didn't know 957's psychological activities, so he stretched out his hand to shake hands.
"Let's go back and wait until the bubbling competition is over. Let's make a dinner date." He took the initiative to suggest.
When 957 heard this, he immediately agreed, "Okay, then I'll be the host and find a restaurant."
One of them is aloof and mild-tempered, the other is sociable, cheerful and outgoing, so their personal relationship is naturally very good.
It is hometown that builds the bridge of friendship.
957 is from Taizhou, Zhejiang. Ningbo is the neighboring city where Gu Xing grew up, and he studied at Ningbo Vocational College.
In the LOL e-sports circle, it is very rare for Gu Xing to find a fellow player, and 957 is already the player who has the most in common with him.
After all, Zhejiang is not Hubei. That place is full of professional guys. Forming a team is not a problem. What’s more, a middle school can produce several e-sports stars!
The current professional LOL players in Zhejiang that Gu Xing knows are himself, 957 and Icon. He occasionally contacts them once in a while, and gathers for dinner to keep in touch with each other.
Watching Gu Xing go away, 957 suddenly let out a short sigh, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Seeing that his teammates had all left, he hurriedly rolled up his peripherals with his mouse pad and hurried off the stage.
This year’s competition schedule is not over yet, WE will still participate in the bubbling competition that determines life and death, so we must be well prepared.
Gu Xing and his teammates stood in the center of the stage, bowed to the audience, waved to greet the supporters, and then returned to their seats to pack their keyboard and mouse.
The interviewee on the main stage of this game was Smeb. Gu Xing was about to take the peripherals from the opponent and bring them back to the lounge, but a Li Ruixing shot out of the ground.
"Leave me alone!" He grabbed Song Jinghao's keyboard and mouse first and showed a shy and honest smile.
"Hey, the sun came out from the west today?" Smeb squinted and smiled, "Brother Ruixing, we haven't been treated like this in a while."
When Song Jinghao was with the Tigers, whenever Song Jinghao was interviewed after a game, Kuro would help him get peripherals.
At that time, the other party was very attentive, which made Smeb very uncomfortable at first.
In a country where seniority is extremely important, it is quite rare for seniors like Li Ruixing to take the initiative to help their juniors pack peripherals. Smeb once thought that Kuro was holding back his bad intentions and wanted to bully him.
Later I found out that Kuro didn’t mean that at all.
It was just that whoever won the POG in the LCK - that is, the player of the game, the award was equivalent to the MVP, had to be interviewed, and Kuro would encourage and praise his teammates while helping to get peripherals.
At first, Li Ruixing often did embarrassing things and boasted so much that no one believed him.
Nowadays, the technology is becoming more and more sophisticated, and it has a kind of returning to nature charm, and everything that is put into it is true feelings.
Gu Xing hurriedly ran back to the lounge, pushed the door open and was hugged by Ding Jun.
"I'm selling Gu You!" Boss Ding was extremely happy, "We are going to the World Championships again!"
"Calm down, just make it to the World Championships, our goal is definitely more than that..." Gu Xing was also happy inside, but he tried to pretend to be calm on the outside.
Dai Zhichun was eager to integrate into the team atmosphere, so he followed Gu Xing's words, "Brother Xing is right! Our family has spent so much money, is it not a basic operation to enter the World Championship?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Ding Jun's smile had softened a bit.
What's going on?
Able was puzzled and scratched his head beside him.
Gu Xing's eyes darkened.
To put it bluntly, he had never encountered this type of weirdo before entering the professional arena.
Even if he is a socially anxious person like his girlfriend Shen Guanshan, who would be nervous and flustered just talking to strangers, his emotional intelligence is not so low that he talks randomly.
After starting a career, Gu Xing really broadened his horizons and truly realized that the world is full of wonders.
In the past, there was Xiang Guo who made people angry with his mouth. Later, there was Dai Zhichun who spoke maliciously and extended his words.
Did I mean that?
Why don't you say, "You spend too much money, it's natural to enter the World Championship", you just dragged Boss Ding to the S5 season.
He bought a three-star coach, Hakuno Suke, with a high salary, and also brought with him a death announcement that was relatively famous at the time.
Then I didn’t make it to the World Championship!
Didn't you tear open the wound by saying this?
Fortunately, Ding Jun is very happy at the moment and was not disturbed by his little substitute's words.
Gu Xing looked at Able, pondered for two seconds and then said, "I'll take you to get to know the RNG players later. You and Xiangguo must be very close to each other."
Dai Zhichun didn't react at all and agreed simply, "Okay, okay!"
He was quite happy.
What level of player is Xiang Guo?
It’s great to get to know nature!
Gu Xing took a deep breath, sat down on the chair, and browsed the post bar on his phone.
Maggot babies are cuter.
As soon as he opened the counter, Gu Xing saw the scoring post.
The heat is frighteningly high!
The popularity of VG members is there. In addition, there are fewer and fewer teams in the playoffs, and the time between each round of games is very long.
Today's first day of semi-final competition is equal to giving the previously accumulated heat a chance to be concentrated!
When Gu Xing clicked in, he saw that the bottom of his makeup photo was piled with the rainbow farts of his friends.
[The best jungler in the world among gods! Beat Kandi hard with his front and backhand!]
[From the rhythm to the team fight, it highlights a pure crushing, not a player of the same level at all]
[The wave of operations that return to the city with a false vision!]
[At that time, I saw Brother Xing returning to the city and staying in Bengbu directly. Three hundred yards away, Xiye was stunned but didn’t notice the beer man]
[Why is there no vision in that groove? The League of Legends designer is also a genius. If you don’t have vision, why don’t you use the fog of war to cover it?]
[The optical principles of Summoner’s Rift are completely different from reality. I even suspect that Xiye’s first thought after finding out the truth was that ‘physics no longer exists’]
Gu Xing was praised by netizens and scrolled down happily. Then he saw Maggot Baby's evaluation of Kandi.
Compared to their high praise for Gu Xing, their responses to Xiang Renjie were full of critical comments.
[In the interview before the game, he also said that he would become Brother Xing’s old enemy. I think it’s almost enough to form a line of filial sons for you, and he will be ranked first in filial piety with Little Peanut!]
[Peanut: What kind of champion are you worthy of being on the same level as me? 】
[In the second game, all three teammates were pressing the line, but in the end, they didn’t do anything at all. It’s really your fault!]
[Do you know why VG dared to choose this lineup? It’s just to bully your strength. In front of Brother Xing, you are just a younger brother, and you can resist pressure casually]
[To be honest, teammates can push the lane, and junglers and dogs can win!]
[Why did Kandi change his skills this summer? It feels like his level has dropped by more than a tiny bit. I remember that I could still fight Brother Xing twice in Spring Jue, but now it’s broken at the touch of a touch!]
Gu Xing swiped the screen and saw several WE fans criticizing White Crescent Moon's BP.
There was basically no cat cake to be found in the first two games, so they started from the third game.
It just means that VG has been choosing soft assistants throughout the semi-finals. Why did WE still play Niutou in the last game?
As a result, the brother-in-law was unable to develop stably in the bottom lane, and the entire field was suppressed!
There is a saying, Ben, the tauren, plays in a very green color, and those who didn’t know better thought he was a pure love god of war.
But Gu Xing could understand Bai Yueya's thoughts.
There is still a glimmer of hope in changing the formation, but if nothing changes, the result will only be the same!
At that time, WE was on the verge of desperation, and it was not appropriate to judge BP solely from the perspective of whether the lineup selection was reasonable.
However, Gu Xing just sighed in his heart. Other fans were criticizing the coach and it had nothing to do with him.
The TV in the lounge is still broadcasting the post-match interview live.
Smeb stood next to Ren Dong with a bright smile, and he was polite when he raised the microphone and answered. It is difficult to connect him with the sideband maniac on the field.
"After winning today's semi-finals, Smeb has entered the global finals for the third consecutive year," Immortal Grip asked with a smile on his face, "Is there any opponent you want to meet?"
Song Jinghao organized his reply in his mind.
After thinking about it, he slowly answered: "The one I want to meet most is definitely SKT. I originally thought they would enter the mid-season, but something unexpected happened. When I think about it, I'm very sorry. I just hope to meet them in the World Championship."
His Chinese has a slight accent, but everyone can understand it if he speaks slowly.
He didn't even ask the translator Mr. Ji to come on stage to help, and planned to handle the whole process by himself.
In Smeb's view, he has been taking supplementary Chinese courses for more than half a year. If he doesn't give interviews in Chinese anymore, it will be a bit unprofessional.
"SKT, right?" Ren Dong laughed out loud with the fans in the audience, and was still explaining to Song Jinghao, "They are indeed an old rival who repeatedly gave wonderful matches in the LCK. Now, even though they are in different divisions, they are still
I want to compete with my old enemy..."
"No, no, no, no!" Smeb interrupted quickly, "We are not old enemies. We are not worthy of this."
The Tigers and SKT have faced off twice in the league finals, and ROX lost both times without exception.
He's not so thick-skinned that he even takes the title of rival.
So could Meng Huo be Zhuge Liang’s old enemy?
"It would be more appropriate to call them challengers. I want to challenge them." Smeb corrected.
Ren Dong wisely chose to change the topic, "Player Smeb just mentioned SKT, so what about the Dragon Ball team? There are three old teammates from the ROX era in the team."
When talking about his old teammates, Song Jinghao immediately relaxed his attitude and said harsh words without restraint, "Those guys are destined to lose to us if we meet again... not to mention whether they can enter the S7 World Championship or not, maybe Dragon Ball
You can have a holiday next month!”
That's what he said.
But the probability of Dragon Ball entering the World Championship is very high.
After experiencing the trough period of the MSI-Intercontinental Championship, Longzhu quickly regained its confidence and relied on Khan's Jayce's unique skills to win 10 consecutive games and directly reach second place in the regular season!
The final ranking is only lower than SKT. According to the LCK competition system, Dragon Ball is equivalent to a guaranteed top three!
Taking into account the results of the Spring Split, if LZ wants to enter the World Championship, it can count on the SKT Summer Championship to allow it to pass directly to the World Championship by relying on the rules with the highest points throughout the year (excluding the Summer Split champion), or it can also enter the subsequent three-to-two knockout round or the final round.
Win any game in the bubbling match.
These are all ways you can get tickets to the global finals.
Conditions are relatively relaxed.
There were several fans of the Tigers at the scene, and they laughed happily when they heard Smeb's ridicule.
Gu Xing, who was in the background, turned to look at his head coach after listening to the interview, "By the way, is today the day of the LCK three-to-two match?"
Hongmi was staring at his laptop, "Yes, I'm watching the game right now, Dragon Ball vs. Samsung."
Gu Xing leaned over to take a look at the excitement.
The conditions for the LCK playoffs are relatively harsh, with 10 teams competing for 5 spots.
Then the teams with lower regular season results will challenge upwards in order of ranking.
In the process of advancing from four to three, SSG narrowly defeated Galaxy Battleship KT with a score of 3:2 and pushed the opponent into the bubble match.
However, the adjusted strength of Dragon Ball is obviously much higher than the current SSG.
Samsung can't handle Khan's Jess!
If you want to limit him, you must ban him in the first round - otherwise Khan will definitely grab it first. This guy is a Jess brother with unique skills. Once he gets it, he will be confident to defeat all top laners!
But how to deal with the fixed ban in the first round, the two strong points of Little Peanut and BDD?
In the stadium, Samsung's defense is stretched thin and crumbling!
"Guigui, Dragon Ball's style of play is still the same. The fighting style is completely different from the traditional LCK team!" Jack stuck his big head out to watch and let out a sigh of praise.
"They just focus on the bottom lane and don't care about it at all. They mainly focus on the upper, middle and jungle, and rely on their personal ability to win the game. Their playing style is very fierce. Whenever there is a possibility of confrontation, they will immediately engage in the battle," Hongmi couldn't help but chuckle.
Laughing out loud, "To be honest, this style of play is considered unusual in the LCK that emphasizes operation."
Boss Ding Jun also commented with great interest, "Is it possible that the personal styles of the players and coaches are mixed together? I think ROX used to play in a similar way. There are three members of the original Tigers in the Dragon Ball team.
, to a certain extent, it has an impact on the system construction of the new team."
"The other thing is the coach. Kim Jing-soo seems to be very good at coaching this kind of team that can maximize personal offense."
He doesn't usually play in the league, but since the LOL division has achieved results, Ding Jun has been watching some videos when he has nothing to do, trying to improve his understanding of the project.
Hongmi flattered him, "Boss Ding is right. Jingzhu himself also likes to play a fast-break lineup with top, middle and jungle as the core. Just hang up the bottom lane and wait for team battles. Players and coaches can complement each other to form a suitable tactical system."
At this point, Hongmi burst out laughing again, "I don't know how he learned it. He has a different style from the teacher at all..."
Edgar's main focus is stable operation, and through subtle linkage, five A-level players can exert their S-level abilities.
There will be some lag in pace.
Completely opposite to Kim Jung Soo’s style!
Today SSG faces Longzhu, which is also a head-on confrontation between master and apprentice.
It's just that Jin Jingzhu's Dragon Ball level is really ruthless.
The Iron Turtle style of play used by Samsung seems to be very suitable for the current version of the environment, but the defensive shield is too thin.
Khan breaks through all the ways with one force, coordinates wildly with his own midfielder, and constantly uses the advantage gained after attacking to suppress his vision!
SSG simply cannot hold on!
Hongmi dragged the progress bar to quickly replay the videos of the previous games, and found that Dragon Ball Handicap could defeat the opponent in less than 30 minutes.
BDD and Khan won the MVP of the first and second games respectively. The 2-0 Dragon Ball directly pushed SSG to the edge of the cliff!
In the third game, Edgar used an excellent BP ambush to reach Jin Jingzhu, giving Samsung an ideal mid-to-late teamfight lineup.
Relying on Leader An's two counter-crouching attempts to slow down Longzhu's offensive rhythm, it was not until the later stages that he finally won the set.
After watching the quick replays of the first three games, Redmi just switched back to the live broadcast screen and saw BDD chasing Crown Tulle!
BDD showed the amazing talent of the 'successor of Faker'. He was superb with the snake girl and killed the crown twice in the lane, helping the team to win!
In the end, with Cassiopeia's petrifying gaze and poisonous fog covering it, SSG was wiped out and the base was shattered to pieces!
The Dragon Ball players on the computer screen were in high spirits, arms around each other, celebrating their victory.
The LCK director also gave subtitles to remind the audience that Longzhu has become the first S7 World Championship team in the league!
"Ouch, I have to see these little bastards again..." Kuro muttered.
Having said that, there was a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed.
Gu Xing returned to his seat and checked his phone twice more, and saw a new tweet from Riot Games.
The accompanying picture is a group photo of G2, VG and Longzhu, as well as a group photo of Jankos, Gu Xing and Peanut from this year's MSI.
In the picture, three boys are smiling happily around the mid-season championship trophy.
The text of the tweet is simple and clear - Welcome to 2017 Season World Championship!
