Gu Xing was bathed in the dazzling light of the spotlight on the dome. He didn't know whether it was because of the bright light or the strained blood, but he felt warm all over. Next to him, Uzi was still breathing heavily. He had just won the deer battle with difficulty after five rounds.
His face was as red as Guan Gong.
It attracted Gu Xing's frequent glances.
At critical moments, it is a normal physiological reaction for people to generate adrenaline due to nervousness. But is Uzi acting too exaggerated?
Just as Gu Xing was thinking about it, he heard a rich narration voice burst out from the scene.
"A powerful warrior can swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger, a man of great talent, and a strong warrior..." The sound was amplified by the speakers and surrounded every corner of the Wukesong Gymnasium!
Tian Tian took a deep breath, his fair face puffed up like a pufferfish, and whispered to Gu Xing, "I'm going to be embarrassed to death." "That's it," Xiang Guo complained, "It's not easy to conquer without making trouble, and then it starts again.
Work hard on the expedition speech." "Is it awkward?" Gu Xing disagreed, "I think it's okay."
His immunity to embarrassment is very high, and he can't do ordinary things at all.
Now he is smiling and waving to the stands, receiving warm cheers from the supporters.
At the end of the two-minute speech segment, Ren Dong raised the microphone in his hand again and shouted loudly:
"The three teams have been assembled and will fight side by side on behalf of the LPL in the 2017 Global Finals!" He said in a loud voice, "Summoners on site and in front of the live broadcast room, let us jointly wish the three teams to achieve outstanding results.
, keep the Summoner’s Trophy in the LPL and defend the glory of the division!”
Ren Dong's high-pitched noise resounded throughout the venue, and the audience's cheers soared into the sky!
The members of the three representative teams left the stage in joy, while the loser E had already packed up his backpack and left Wukesong. Compared to the winners who enjoyed the spotlight, member E's silent departure seemed extremely lonely. But this is also reasonable.
Everyone always likes to focus on the winner, and even as time goes by, no one will remember who the loser is. Except of course Yue Lun.
As soon as Gu Xing passed, he heard Jin Yibo's announcement, asking the three teams participating in the S competition to go out to have a meal together today to celebrate briefly and discuss some matters.
The three team members were crowded on a bus, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Although it is not a difficult task for them to enter the World Championship, their results are barely adequate, with a minimum of passing points guaranteed. And more importantly, they have money!
Some clubs will set terms when signing the contract, using the playoff rankings and whether they can enter the World Championship as performance assessment benchmarks. If you meet the standards, you can get additional bonuses.
In the current era, labor and management in the e-sports circle have not yet engaged in betting. This is at best an incentive clause.
For example, Gu Xing's basic salary is 1,000 before tax. If VG enters the World Championship, the team will give another 500,000. The number does not seem to be much, but it also depends on how difficult it is to achieve.
With the strength of VG’s lineup, isn’t it easy to get into the World Championship? 50 is just free of charge!
For games that are slightly more difficult, the bonuses are even higher.
While the Septwolves members were sitting together chatting, Shi Senming happily pulled up his calculator to see how much money he could earn after deducting taxes.
"Hey, hehe, the bonus for entering the World Championship is higher than my annual salary!" Xiao Ming smiled happily.
"Look at your virtues..." Xiangguo dismissed it, "Do you really take this little money seriously?"
"Liu Shiyu, stop barking," Shi Senming immediately retorted, "Do you really think I didn't know that your salary in two years was less than 500,000?" Xiangguo immediately became red, with an expression similar to that of Uzi who had just finished the bubble game.
spell.
His monthly after-tax income is RMB 2.2, and it is indeed less than RMB 500,000 after two years of playing. Liu Shiyu now feels quite embarrassed that his underwear has been lifted after he pretended to be a cup of tea.
"By the way, Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong plan to find jobs again next season," Gu Xing looked at the group chat, "If you have any connections, remember to keep an eye out for them."
Originally, the Seven Wolves were just a small group of high-scoring passers-by from Ionia.
Follow
As the group members step into the professional arena one by one, the purpose of the group chat becomes game gossip and transfer job hunting. The S7 journey of the Xiangsong duo has basically come to an end, leaving only Nest and the German Cup that have received less attention.
tournament. The two can study the transfer period in advance.
"Sure, they played pretty well in the summer split this year. I feel like they have a good chance of staying in the LPL next year." Xiangguo agreed. Jack teased, "When they sign a contract next year, maybe the salary will be better than
You, Liu Shiyu, are still tall!"
The base salary price in the transfer market increases every year.
At the end of the S5 season, it was 8,000, which was enough for an online date; in S6, it was updated to 1, barely reaching five digits.
Moreover, there are not many members who receive a basic salary. As long as they are a little famous or have a higher ranking score, the contract amount will be appropriately increased. If Xiangsong signs another contract at the end of this year, his after-tax monthly income of 2.2 months, which exceeds that of Xiangguo, will be just around the corner!
"How about you don't turn on the pot and pick up the pot?" Xiangguo became angry. "Your mother's kiss will make the laborer angry!" The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.
Why did you just covet the little money in front of you and sign a three-year long-term contract in a daze? What a waste!
"Don't be anxious, please don't be anxious first," Yu Wenbo said with a smile, "If you look back at Lao Gu's Maybach, it will probably keep you awake all night."
"You can make money without even using a month's salary, don't you think?" Xiangguo is so jealous that he can become a spokesperson for Bull.
"That's almost it." Gu Xing didn't want to show off his wealth. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately interrupted and changed the topic, "I have a vacation later. If you guys want to get higher scores, we can start a sprint at the top of the canyon!"
When the world championship teams from other competition regions come to China, they will definitely score points on the super server provided by Tencent. Gu Xing plans to get there first and see if he can push the score higher.
"彳亍, count me in when the time comes!" Meiko sat next to her and agreed without hesitation, her eyes shining brightly, "I see that some high-scoring players in the national server are quite crazy now, and they seem to have forgotten that we were crushing them.
It’s time to let these guys recall the fear of being dominated by us!”
In the S5-S6 era, there were only a handful of high-scoring players in the national server who were not professional - they just called me Guanren, Xiaoma, White Windmill and Wuhu God.
Nowadays, as time goes by, these high-level players are not as good as before, and they gradually disappear from the list of top players in the national server. New blood has poured in, and most of them have not experienced the gold content of Ionia in those two years.
It makes no sense, Meiko wants to teach these new Rift high-score players a lesson.
"Tian Ye, don't be too crazy," Gu Xing teased, "It doesn't matter if you are an MSI champion, you will still get scolded in the national server!" Everyone in the Seven Wolves laughed heartily.
It’s not a matter of having a lot of coke, but now that I have entered the World Championships, the burden on my shoulders has disappeared, and I feel happy when I look at everything. When they arrived at the reserved restaurant, Jin Yibo was the first to raise his glass after the dishes were served.
"First of all, I want to say congratulations to everyone," he said with a smile, "I have seen everyone's wonderful performance. After a whole year of hard work, I finally won the opportunity to go to the global finals!"
There was thunderous applause in the private room.
This person is the head of Tencent’s League of Legends department. Riot executives greeted him enthusiastically when they saw him. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is the boss of a professional team.
The players naturally did not dare to neglect.
Even the famous incense pot, a valuable item with low emotional intelligence, clapped twice symbolically in line with the idea of conformity.
"But what will be held next is the global finals. There is a sentence in the campaign speech that is very good. Everyone will represent the LPL division!" Jin Yibo continued: "This year's situation is special. Everyone here must be very clear. I hope that the three teams
The team can unite sincerely and work towards the same goal!"
He didn't elaborate.
But Gu Xing knew this very well. His goal was to enter the Bird's Nest.
The S7 World Championship held in China will attract much attention. In order to show its importance, Tencent also specially applied for the Bird's Nest to be the final venue. By then, the popularity in all aspects will undoubtedly reach the highest peak in the history of the League of Legends e-sports competition!
all
"The momentum' is all ready.
Whoever can enter the finals will be the winner! Jin Yibo doesn’t want to be a wedding dress for others.
After a whole year of busy preparations, you must enjoy the benefits of your own division, and it is best to keep the Summoner's Trophy! Therefore, the minimum goal is for the LPL team to enter the Bird's Nest this season!
Today is different from the past. Now Jin Yibo has the confidence to express his ambition to enter the Bird's Nest. After all, LPL is the global finals champion last year!
"In order to better help the three teams adjust their competitive status, we decided to set up a training group after discussion." Jin Yibo dropped a bombshell.
He explained in detail, "Sparring training, as the name suggests, is to find some professional players and teams to conduct necessary training matches and targeted sparring sessions with our three S competition teams."
Everyone was chattering away and discussing. Gu Xing was not surprised.
He has a mole, and his information channels are much wider than ordinary players, and his accuracy is extremely high. When chatting with Broiler yesterday, he reassured him that he would meet soon, and he was talking about the sparring team!
"Currently, the list of ten people has been confirmed, and the two teams E and IG participating in this year's bubble competition will be fully represented," Jin Yibo said. "There are still five vacancies left, and we need all members to brainstorm and provide opinions."
"It is best to have one person in each position so that resources will not be overly tilted."
Xiangguo raised his hand immediately and spoke, "How about Sof, the jungler of the Snakes team? I think his jungle ideas are very good." Gu Xing raised objections, "Sof is quite powerful, but in this version he is the same.
inapplicable!"
What Bandits are best at is planning routes in wild areas, which can achieve the most extreme development in the shortest time.
It is precisely because of this that Sof was able to carve out a bloody path in the LPL league when he first arrived in the S6 Summer Split! But now it is S7.
The grass-fed version, the one that fits the version should be the hunger strike flow created by Xiangtong!
Sof's jungler who still puts his own development as the first priority is the mutant Peanut, and his performance is quite average. Let alone the bubble game this year, the Snake team will have trouble making it to the playoffs!
Why bring Sof into the sparring group? Learn how to play jungle core in the herbivorous version?
Xiang Guo came to his senses after hearing Gu Xing's reply, "Who is the better choice for the jungle position?" Gui Jiao Qi also cast his gaze, and the shift of his gaze did not prevent him from adding a chopstick of braised pork to his mouth.
"I think..." Gu Xing pondered for a long time and said his answer, "How about Ei?" "Huh?" Xiangguo's pupils were shaking.
Gui Jiao Qi just drank some water to relieve his tiredness, and almost choked on Gu Xing. "Are you serious?" Liu Shiyu was very doubtful.
LGD's performance this year is even worse, and they are firmly in the relegation zone.
Wild King Ei can't be said to be a strong jungler, so it's good if he doesn't drag down the team. But Gu Xing named him to join the training team?
If he hadn't known that the two men had a personal relationship, Xiangguo would have suspected whether there was insider trading.
"You should know that in the wild core version, Ei is a weapon, right..." Gu Xing said leisurely. Xiangguo and Guijiaoqi nodded in unison.
The wild king made Sof, who was in full swing, so dizzy that he doubted his life!
"It relies on his unpredictable jungle planning route. Jungle core players will guess the movements of the opponent's jungler and use this to formulate counter-jungling plans, but the jungle king is not an ordinary person and often does not play according to the routine," Gu Xing explained
Said, "I think this will be particularly useful in the S7 World Championship." "The 150-second jungle reset time plus the herbivorous version means that the jungler no longer has to consider his own development when planning the route. After all, even if he clears the jungle
It doesn’t matter if you delay a little while in the process. Besides, no matter how many wild monsters you farm, they are just tanks, and the effect will not fundamentally change.”
"You are looking for the jungle king because you want everyone to imitate Ei's jungle route, so that you can catch the opponent off guard with unexpected ganks during the game?"
"That's exactly it," Gu Xing nodded, "but I have to correct you a little bit."
"We can't learn the wild king's route...because even he himself doesn't know what he's going to do.
How are you going to do it?" He said seriously. "We are the essence and soul of learning the wild king's gameplay. We deliberately imitated it but fell behind!"
The two junglers laughed loudly.
The jungle position has been determined to be Jung Fu, and the sparring team members for the other four positions have also been announced. As for the top laner, everyone unanimously recommended Jin Gong.
This is one of the few offensive top laners in IPL at present. He has a first-hand understanding of the lane and his personal strength is quite strong. He has played the role of dean in IPL for several seasons.
Originally I wanted to find Brother Shengqiang, but Xuanjun said that he wanted to go abroad with his family during the holidays, and it was not easy to cancel the already booked trip. As for the winning company, he chose Doinb.
There is no suspense. He was also the captain of the iron team back then. Excluding the mid-lane players who participated in the bubble competition and the world championship, Jin Tae-sang was the strongest. After repeated discussions, the bottom lane decided to bring in the Xiangsong duo.
The performance of the two of them in this summer split is indeed quite good. The hero pool is suitable. Although the play style is unstable, the victory is due to good operation. Especially Liu Qingsong's Luo, he is also ranked high in the competition area!
"I'll call and send the invitation today," Jin Yibo said after confirming that the list was correct and put it away, "so that they don't have to arrange their schedule in advance like Brother Shengqiang did."
"Today's dinner is not only to celebrate everyone's entry into the World Championship, but also to wish you all to perform well in the next World Championship and achieve results that will satisfy you and your fans!"
Jin Yibo looked at the three teams and felt satisfied in his heart. For him, these three teams were the best results. VG represented a strong force and was determined to defend the title.
EDG, on the other hand, has veterans who are not dead and a new generation, and it is a shame to beat them to the top eight in a row. RNG is even more of an all-Chinese team.
Three teams with different styles, no matter who breaks into the Bird's Nest in the end, there will always be gimmicks to create buzz! At the dinner, Jack held the thought that free prostitutes are the loudest, and kept stuffing things into his stomach.
The snowflake beef cubes alone dazzled two whole plates!
Then he focused on the ice cream and wolfed it down with his belly wide open.
"Don't be too indulgent," Gu Xing said with a worried look on his face, "Can the stomach handle the alternation of hot and cold?" He remembered that Yu Wenbo was an ADC in real life, and his body was very fragile.
"It's nothing, Aimee," Jack waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't I understand my body yet?" "It's great!" he smiled.
After saying that, he continued stuffing lamb chops into his mouth.
Then at twelve o'clock that night, Gu Xing, who was sleeping with him, was awakened by his wails, and called the team leader to rush Jack to the nearest hospital. After the doctor checked, it turned out that it was caused by too frequent alternations of hot and cold during dinner.
The misfortune was that a stomach upset led to gastroenteritis.
Yu Wenbo lay on the hospital bed regretting his mistake.
"Why do you think I was greedy for those two mouthfuls of ice cream?" He beat the bed with hatred. Ding Jun was left speechless by him.
"Originally, I was thinking that everyone would go back to Shanghai to have a celebration banquet. It would be better if you were hospitalized, but all plans will be disrupted!" Jack must eat lightly during this period, and don't think about feasting.
Boss Ding couldn't see that the whole team was enjoying the big fish and meat, so he instead fed Yu Wenbo instant noodles. Therefore, he had to postpone the celebration banquet until the two Korean players came back from visiting relatives.
Mr. Gu let out a long sigh.
"Lao Gu, if you want to use ADC during my absence, please let Dai Zhichun temporarily take over my position." Jack felt guilty. "But it should be fine. He can go back after a few days of recovery. He is on vacation now.
, and no training games..."
Gu Xing touched Jack's head meaningfully.
"Get well adjusted and come back soon, my brothers are waiting for you."
Yu Wenbo made a promise, "Don't worry, I will actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and strive to return to the team as soon as possible!"
After buying some fruits and flowers and putting them on the bedside, VG and the others went about their business. After all, Jack was not a giant baby and did not need anyone to take care of him. Gu Xing accompanied his parents, sister and girlfriend to visit the main attractions near the imperial capital.
After walking around for a while, I took the two elders to the south.
His parents went back to Ningbo directly, and he got off the bus in Shanghai in advance. The destination was Fudan, his alma mater, where he had never had a day of classes. Gu Xing's suspension of study procedures expired.
Plan to make up for another year.
He is now earning eight figures a year. There is probably no student in the same school who can earn more money than Gu Xing. Naturally, there is no reason to go back to school after just one year off.
Walking on campus and looking at the alumni hurrying around, Gu Xing enjoyed the rare leisure time he had at first. Then he was caught.
"Isn't this okay, bro?" A supporter shouted, and then rushed closer, "I'm your biggest fan!" With just this greeting, Gu Xing felt like he was walking alone among the zombies in Resident Evil.
A normal person here. Now everyone around is looking at him.
The HD campus is already densely populated and attracts quite a few students!
Some people were puzzled and seemed to be thinking about who this guy was; others excitedly took out their mobile phones and prepared to gank this e-sports star.
"Your Xia Jue performance is too strong, right?"
"Brother, brother, how about you win another world championship?" "The people in front of you are cutting in line, first come first served, can you talk about some resin?"
"Resin? I saw Brother Xing didn't even have lychees, so why are you talking about resin?"
Gu Xing had no choice but to find a remote corner to minimize the negative impact of crowds gathering and satisfy the fans' desire to take photos and sign autographs.
The corners of his mouth raised. After the brief surprise, he did not feel the unwillingness or annoyance that he felt when he was forced to open the business. He was able to exchange a few words with fans during the group photo. Since they were all alumni, Gu Xing could talk about a wide range of topics.
From the teaching building to the canteen to the course selection system, and finally after sending the fans away, Gu Xing was still not satisfied. His hands were sore when signing autographs, but he enjoyed it.
Gu Xingneng can clearly feel the difference between his visit to Fudan this time and a year ago.
At that time, I was walking on campus, and no one cared about me at all. At most, some people saw that he looked handsome and sunny, and cast a few appreciative glances at him.
This time is different.
There were so many fans that Gu Xing spent an entire hour chatting with fans! He happily rushed to the Academic Affairs Office.
"According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, the maximum period of suspension of study is two years. If you take a suspension of this academic year again, unless there are special circumstances that can delay it for a few weeks, you will have to resume classes in September 2018..."
Formulaic reminder when the administrative teacher stamps the delivery list.
There are quite a few students in Fudan who drop out of school every year, and depression is very common. "Can it be postponed? What special circumstances?" Gu Xing couldn't help but ask.
"Even if you have a serious illness and have an operation or participate in some important international competition, the delay will not be long at most. You must complete the undergraduate course within six years. If you delay for too long, you will not be able to graduate." The teacher looked up at him and then frowned.
, "By the way, why do I think you look familiar?"
He always felt like he had seen Gu Xing somewhere.
"You also handled the formalities for my suspension of school last year, so it looks familiar." Gu Xing smiled brightly. "That's true." The teacher didn't take it to heart, and handed the documents to Gu Xing and continued to immerse himself in work. During this period, his daughter
After posting a post on Moments, she planned to give it a like as a routine.
Why does this kid have to give an English name when he works at Tencent? What should he call via... the administrative teacher muttered.
When she clicked on the Moments homepage, she saw the cover used by her child.
A boy had a spotlight on his head and was kissing the trophy in his hand. His profile looked very handsome. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Isn't this the student who just suspended his studies? Good guy!
Gu Xing had no idea that his identity was discovered again after he left. He ran to the dormitory area and took his friend Ding Ran out to have a meal. While eating, there was another full message in the group chat of the VG training department.
Jin Wenhyuk: [VG Summer Season documentary has been produced, please remember to forward it on Weibo]
Gu Xing took a bite of squid and used his mobile phone with one hand to click on the video link, wanting to see what the production team would do.
