"Brother Wenhe, do you have any extra team uniforms there?" Zhen
When Gu Xing boarded the bus and saw his tour leader, he quickly asked.
Jin Wenhe sighed briefly, "I knew..."
My own player is a social terrorist, and every world championship is a stage for him to express himself freely.
It is inevitable for e-sports players to change team uniforms during their initial social interactions.
During the World Championship held in North America last year, Gu Xing single-handedly obtained more than 30 team uniforms from other teams, and his communication skills are unrivaled in the professional world!
In the end, we ran out of team uniforms and had to use the washing machine every day.
This time, Jin Wenhe fully learned his lesson. The large suitcase that was responsible for carrying the backup equipment of the entire team removed the peripherals and also made a large open space to store Gu Xing's team uniforms. Zhen
"I'll get you ten pieces later. If they're not enough, you can come back and ask for them." He agreed reluctantly.
Gu Xing's face was full of joy, he put his backpack in front of him and sat down on the chair.
"Lao Gu, didn't you change the uniforms you should change last year?" Jack was puzzled, "You shouldn't be interested in changing this thing twice in a row."
Many of the people participating in the World Championship this year are old faces from the S6 World Championship. For example, the LCK division has three newcomers: Huni, Khan and BDD.
"That's what you said." Gu Xing took out his mobile phone to look through the cheering messages sent by relatives and friends, and answered Jack's question casually, "Aren't there still players in the finals this year? There are 8 teams, and just the team uniforms are enough
Change out two drawers!”
Jack was stunned.
"I'm sorry, Lao Gu, you are really outrageous..." He sighed, "You don't even let go of the contestants in the finals?" Zhen
Compared to the well-known players in the five major regions, the wild card brothers are not only less well-known, but also have no contact with VG.
Jack thought that apart from the Brazilian RED BrTT who was also Draven's unique brother, he knew one player in the wild card competition - DFM had a top laner named Evi who always liked to give a thumbs up to the camera, and he also wore Beige
The same tactical eyepiece from Jihu looks quite eye-catching.
"We are all brothers in the four seas!" Gu Xinghao suddenly became angry.
During the half month he stayed at the hotel, almost every wild card player came to him and asked him to take photos and exchange team uniforms.
Gu Xing does not reject anyone who comes.
It is precisely because of this that his uniforms are consumed so quickly.
I have to say, it feels very cool to be surrounded by e-sports players who call themselves fans.
The wild-card young men looked at Gu Xing with admiration in their eyes. The level analogy is probably equivalent to the national football team members looking at Messi.
Gu Xing still has endless aftertaste. In order to avoid getting carried away, he quickly lowered his head and edited text messages to reply to relatives and friends.
I never drink Coca-Cola: [Can you hurry up for today’s opening match? Guan Shan and I have to be busy with work later]
This message comes from my sister.
Gu Xing was very confused, [Isn’t today a National Day holiday?]
My sister responded quickly, [We do this kind of entrepreneurial project for ourselves, so we have holidays? The more we work for a day, the more money we make]
[I usually have to go to class, but now I naturally have to work overtime during the holidays] Zhen
That's true.
Gu Xing remembered another key factor and quickly typed on the keyboard of his mobile phone, "Will you give Guan Shan a salary?"
He knows his girlfriend's character.
If his sister didn't take the initiative, Shen Guanshan would definitely not ask for reward.
Gu Pan replied with a question mark, seemingly speechless at the question raised by his brother.
[Don’t worry, I will definitely not treat her badly. The project we are currently working on is just the two of us. When we make money, we will definitely not lose Guanshan’s dividends!]
Gu Xing felt relieved.
When I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.
No matter how you look at it, Gu Pan’s words sound like the art of painting a cake by an unscrupulous boss!
He thought that he would have to find an opportunity to remind his girlfriend in the future, so as not to have to work for Gu Pan in vain in the future.
The bus we took slowly drove towards the Wuhan Sports Center, and we could see billboards for the World Championships erected along the streets.
The closer you are to the venue, the denser the crowds of spectators will be on the road.
As the city with the largest number of college students in China, Wuhan can be imagined to have the broadest audience for e-sports projects such as League of Legends. It is a perfect place to host the finals + group matches!
The college students saw the Riot logo printed on the passing bus. Although they couldn't tell which competing team it was carrying, they still happily raised their mobile phones to take pictures and cheered.
Arriving at the parking lot of the stadium, when the VG training department packed their bags and left the bus, the noise around them suddenly increased by eight degrees!
"Hey, VG is here!"
"We must get off to a good start in the opening game!"
"Brother, come on, we must smash TSM to pieces today!"
Gu Xing has the largest number of fans gathered around him.
He smiled and waved his hands to greet the supporters, "No problem, just wait and see. I will try to end the battle in half an hour!"
Seeing that Gu Xing looked very talkative, someone joked, "Are we going to kill the opponent again before the Coke is finished this time?" Zhen
The nearby audience did not hold back and immediately started laughing and laughing.
Last time, Gu Xing set up a similar flag, and the whole process was recorded by VG's official camera, and it was played back and made known to everyone.
Gu Xing didn't care when he was teased.
"Let me ask you whether you won or not!" He said with a frivolous and arrogant attitude, "What's more, when dealing with a small TSM, there is no need to set up a Flag, and you can easily catch them!"
"TSM's bus is here!" Someone with good intentions raised his voice and shouted.
"Just come," Gu Xing said with a relaxed expression, "I dare to say this in front of Bilson..."
"He doesn't know Chinese anyway." Zhen
He performs the bear show live.
"But Xiao Wang understands it!" Jack made a last strike.
TSM assistant Xiao Wang is of Chinese descent and is very fluent in Mandarin.
Gu Xing immediately stopped smiling and rubbed oil on the soles of his feet.
When you step into the backstage passage of the venue, you have to have a small meeting step by step and then go to make-up...
Everything is in order. VG only has substitute Able who has no experience in the world competition before. Everyone is relatively calm - although Jack did not play last year and won the championship skin, he learned a lot from watching the whole process. If you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig running?
?
It’s not like Heilan House has new discoveries every time you visit. Everyone is very calm and makes all preparations. Zhen
During this period, the RNG players also came to the dressing room. The two brothers Kamisuke were participating in the World Championship for the first time in their careers, and they felt very fresh about everything around them.
"When I was passing by just now, I saw that there was a special English interview area backstage?" Shi Senming rubbed his hands nervously.
This year, the LPL has just started English streaming, but it only blocks the game and commentary sounds on the Chinese channel, and lets the English anchors do the commentary.
There has been no English flow in the post-game interviews. This is the first time Shi Senming has seen him.
"It's not just English," Gu Xing grinned, "Japanese, French, Korean, Spanish... reporters speaking various languages are all backstage!"
As the grandest event in the field of e-sports, the LOL World Championship has become a carnival for players around the world after years of hard work by Riot Games.
Let’s not talk about the five major competition areas, even the wild card areas, the current popularity of the competition is ridiculously high! Zhen
For example, in Brazil, where this year's Mid-Season Invitational is held, the game's online presence once exceeded one million, which is almost as popular as North America. Needless to say, in terms of attention to the event, the number of viewers in Brazil for the MSI finals doubled compared to last year's World Championship.
Times!
In addition, there is Vietnam, which is known as the sixth major competition area. Although its popularity is not as good as that of the national server, it has more attention than Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, taking advantage of its own population to the extreme!
It’s conceivable how many viewers and e-sports media the League of Legends World Championship will attract!
"Awesome," Shi Senming marveled in admiration, and then asked Gu Xing for his opinion, "Brother Xing, can you win the opening game a little slower? My hands are shaking now. If I don't feel well adjusted before I go on the court, I'll probably get sick.
No feedback from teammates.”
Gu Xing was very worried about Sister Li's panic about entering the World Championship for the first time, but there was nothing he could do to help her.
"To be honest, no matter how much time I give you, you won't be able to adjust," he recounted the experience of someone who has done it. "The longer you stay in the audience, the more nervous you become. It's hard to feel like you know you're going to compete but you're still waiting.
"Suffer."
"What should we do?" Shi Senming was thinking about it.
"Wear headphones to isolate external sounds as much as possible," Gu Xing taught the technique carefully, "then take a deep breath to clear out distracting thoughts, hold the mouse and concentrate on entering the game."
"10% off?" Shi Senming didn't believe it, "Why do I feel like it's useless?"
Gu Xing nodded, "You don't think there are any effective external means to relieve your emotions, do you? Your psychological quality is really strong enough to get through it..."
"What if we don't get through it?" Shi Senming broke the casserole and asked.
"Just be like Kid," Gu Xing shrugged, "Jinx looks into the grass with his face, and starts to get sick as soon as the key moments of the competition are reached."
Jack on the side saw his good brother Shi Senming frowning, but he kindly offered words of comfort, "Ai Mei, it's no big deal. You are just a support, and it's useless to lose the game. Anyway, netizens are complaining about Uzi."
Uzi, who was letting the makeup artist apply smear on his face, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hey, what are you doing?" He felt aggrieved, "You're putting pressure on me, right?"
There is a happy atmosphere inside and outside the dressing room.
Jack didn't mean what he said.
As long as Uzi is around, it doesn't matter whether his teammates get sick or not. Anyway, when he loses the game, everyone will criticize Uzi.
The experience book is like this, there is no way.
"Besides, what else can happen to this support version?" Yu Wenbo gushed, "It's impossible to play the role of a wind girl and be forced to death by the opponent!"
The auxiliary support of the incense burner system is just a matter of staying behind and feeding the shield slowly. In Jack's opinion, the living environment is extremely healthy.
Tian Ye heard this as soon as he entered the door. He nodded and agreed with his friend, "That's right, Shi Senming, when you enter when the time comes, just choose the Feng girl on the first floor. You won't die at all!"
After putting on makeup, staff will come to remind the contestants to get ready to go on stage.
Today is the opening day of the global finals. All participating teams gathered together and the backstage was packed with water.
"Go!" Little Peanut jumped over with a clean and cute face, "I'll leave after watching your game today."
"Don't let me down!"
Just like last year, there will be 6 BO1 games every day in the group stage of the World Championship, with three groups playing each time.
On the first day, Dragon Ball's Group D took a break, and Little Peanut was able to watch the game backstage with a cheerful look.
"Hehehehe," he showed a sly smile, "You must not expose any flaws, Xingguo, otherwise I can use them against you if I find them!"
Gu Xing didn't take it seriously.
According to VG's pre-game plan, they did not want to use conventional tactics to win the opening game, in order to try not to reveal too much information about their playing style.
Let's make some flowers out of it. How do we study little peanuts?
Even if you have gone through a lot of hard work to figure out the flaw, it is not universal at all!
While they were talking and laughing, the auditorium, which was separated from the backstage passage by a wall, erupted into bursts of deafening commotion!
The players who were still talking all fell silent.
They know what this means.
"Good afternoon to all Summoners on site and in the online live broadcast room!"
You can tell it's the Grasp of Immortality just by listening to the sound.
Ren Dong is now full of energy and energy, "After the fierce fighting in the qualifying rounds, 8 teams were eliminated. Starting today, the remaining 16 teams will officially start their journey to the group stage of the global finals!"
He waved his hand.
“First of all, welcome the 2016 Global Finals Champions Vici Gaming team to return the Summoner’s Trophy!”
Following the procedure of yesterday's rehearsal, Gu Xing picked up the Summoner's Trophy that his fist had shipped across the ocean, and walked through the aisle to the main stage side by side with Duan Deliang. The three teammates were slightly behind them. Zhen
The spotlights on the dome flashed wildly, shining with dazzling brilliant light.
The silver light reflected on the trophy is extremely eye-catching!
Gu Xing walked towards the center of the stage. Looking around on the way, the Wuhan Sports Center was overcrowded.
Everyone waved the cheer sticks distributed before the game and made noise, and the cheers and shouts of eagerness broke into the eardrums!
VG has been accumulated in the LPL for a year, and has attracted countless fans with its hard power, honors and snowballing style of play that attracts fans!
With the support of the home court, the cheers they received were unparalleled!
Gu Xing and Duan Deliang, as the only two remaining members of S6VG’s winning team, jointly delivered the Summoner’s Trophy to the high platform. Zhen
There were countless cameras under the stage aimed at the two of them, taking photos that would be the front-page headlines of tomorrow's e-sports media.
"Next, let's invite a team to appear!" Ren Dong raised his voice, "Team No. 1 of Group B, SK Telecom T1!"
Lee Sang Hyuk led the SKT team members into the audience's sight.
He was already a very popular player in China, and even before the rise of Gu Xing, he was firmly among the most popular players.
Now there are some fans in the audience holding SKT light signs to cheer for the team they support.
Immediately afterwards, G2 and FW appeared as the first pool teams of the other two groups.
Among them, Goo Sung Bin's appearance was welcomed by the audience and set off a wave of warm welcome!
The audience gave great respect to this meritorious member who helped the LPL win its first championship.
Imp was surprised.
He didn't expect that after being away from the LPL for a year, so many people would applaud and cheer for his appearance.
Gu Shengbin waved thanks, with a happy smile on his face.
This was one of the reasons why he was reluctant to leave LPL.
Although the audience will scold you when the team and competition region are in the trough, they will also praise you to the sky when you achieve success.
So that even after leaving for a long time, I will still remember the love I had back then.
Compared to the LCK side, the public opinion environment is surprisingly good!
Imp also won an S-level championship for the OGN League that year, but unfortunately it had little effect. He heard that the LCK officials did not plan to invite him, a veteran who had made great contributions, during the anniversary celebrations.
In this river?
The Flash Wolf members felt anxious when they appeared on the stage.
They still remember the live broadcast accident that occurred during this year's intercontinental competition. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the scene was the Kaohsiung Library!
Now a few people are afraid that the local audience will play a trick of "treating others the same way as others", so that they can experience what the LPL team went through back then.
Sure enough, there was sparse applause at first when the members of Flash Wolf appeared on the stage, and then when the audience reacted, the sound disappeared in an instant, and the whole place fell into a dead silence.
Casa's originally long face now looks like a bitter melon.
In the LPL official live broadcast room, countless viewers are discussing it animatedly.
[Okay, okay, I just want to humiliate the Flash Wolf! 】
[Send some fish balls to the brothers and sisters present. We have no other merits except to hold grudges!]
[Wait a minute, there’s AHQ. When these two teams play, everyone should take a break. You can drink Koola and eat potato chips to supplement your nutrition.]
[This World Championship is designed to prevent the LMS team from receiving any applause! I, Wang Teng, said it, who agrees and who opposes it? 】
[It seems that the Wuhan Library is still much more powerful than Kaohsiung. I saw Maple’s dark circles were scared away!] Zhen
When the second pool team came out, the audience returned to their original applause and cheers, which was in sharp contrast to when the Flash Wolves came out just now. The members of the GAM team were flattered and hurriedly showed awkward yet polite smiles.
Finally, C9, the third pool team of Group D, came to the audience, and the stage was already filled with players.
Sneaky, the cross-dressing master, faced the warm welcome from the audience, smiling shyly while standing next to Jensen, a real man with a domineering look on his face.
only……
The height and stance of C9 Double C do not match.
Jian Huang's height is probably as high as Song Yijin's, and even not as tall as Yu Wenbo's. Sneaky is half a head taller next to him!
Thinking about the facial expressions of the two, many people in the audience couldn't help laughing.
Ren Dong raised his voice at the right time, "All 16 teams have assembled. Within a month, they will start a life-and-death battle until they compete for the final championship!"
"Let us use warm applause to invite people out of Wuhan..." He read out the job title in a sonorous and powerful manner.
Local officials sitting in the front row walked onto the stage with smiles on their faces.
This World Championship has received a lot of attention from domestic political and business circles.
After all, many viewers come from other places, and the derived consumer industry chain is a large number. When added together, it means that a large amount of revenue will be created for the tertiary industry!
Although Wuhan has unique advantages in hosting e-sports events, other cities are not bad, and they have gone to great lengths to keep the finals and group stages here.
To show their importance, the leaders sent to watch the opening ceremony were not of low rank.
There was no trace of ink after he took the phone.
"Being able to implement this much-anticipated e-sports event this year is the hard work of countless people. I hope Wuhan can give everyone a perfect viewing experience. I hereby wish this event a complete success... I declare
, the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals officially begins!”
The spotlight on the dome flickered endlessly again, focusing on the Summoner's Trophy on the high platform from time to time, making it shine brightly.
The sixteen teams retreated to the backstage one after another to prepare. The teams that competed that day stayed behind, and all members of Group D except Longzhu retreated.
"You really don't want to leave?" Jack asked curiously, "Jiang Zi attaches great importance to VG. We have to wait at least until the quarterfinals to meet each other. And if both groups are first, it will be great if the top four can collide!"
Little Peanut smiled and said, "Why go back to the hotel? I can't make an appointment for a training match anyway. It's better to watch the game live than play ranked!"
Longzhu will definitely not be able to compete with the other three teams in Group D, and the three teams of ABC are all in the venue preparing for today's game. If Little Peanut rushes back, he will only be able to roam at the top of the canyon.
After two weeks, Peanut finally understood.
Most of the people in the top of the canyon are heroes with unique skills, and when choosing heroes, they basically don’t look at the version!
When professional players play on this server, the training effect brought by qualifying is minimal!
Watching the game live is definitely better than Ranking!
Gu Xing ignored him, picked up the keyboard and mouse peripherals, and stepped onto the stage to prepare for the opening match against TSM.
The live broadcast room signal has been transferred to the commentary box.
In the opening match of the S game, VG also participated. The two gimmicks were superimposed, and only the Haier brothers were responsible for the commentary. Zhen
Wawa was quite excited, "This game is not only VG's first performance in the S7 World Championship, but also the host country's LPL division's first global appearance. I hope the players can live up to expectations and get off to a good start!"
Miller answered from the side, "Let me tell you, as an opponent, TSM is not particularly strong, so it is just right for VG to give VG a warm hand!"
Although TSM is the summer champion of the North American region, its strength is similar to that of Flash Wolves, which faced non-Korean teams. In terms of hard power, there is still a big gap with VG, but it is much better than Vietnam GAM.
In Group A, I am stuck here, neither up nor down.
If VG can smoothly defeat TSM, it will prove that its condition is maintained well.
"Let's first take a look at the data performance of the two teams in the summer finals given by the director before the game..." Wawa looked at the panel and was stunned, "Brother Xing, what is going on?!"
He suspected for a moment that there was something wrong with the data given by the director.
After repeatedly checking the headset, the doll immediately let out a familiar cry, "Oh my God, Xing Ge Xia Jue will suffer up to 55,000 injuries per death!"
Injury per death, as the name suggests, is the amount of damage you can sustain before dying each time.
Generally speaking, junglers can increase their stats because they have wild monsters, but an average of seven or eight thousand is considered pretty good.
But Gu Xing was able to achieve this data to 5.5W!
It seems incredible to the doll!
The opposing TSM jungler Svenskeren also crushed his opponents in the summer finals, sustaining injuries per death and not even breaking through the 1W mark!
Comparing the two, the gap is extremely obvious! Zhen
Fans who supported VG at the scene screamed in surprise when they saw this!
"It's outrageous, it's really outrageous..." Miller shook his head repeatedly, "If I remember correctly, Brother Xing only died once in the three finals!"
If he was using a wild core hero who stayed in the back row to deal damage, he wouldn't be so surprised.
But at that time, Gu Xing was a tank, a troll, a wine barrel pig girl, and he only died once in three games. He resisted 5.5W damage for the team, which can only be described as terrifying!
Before the doll could continue to sigh, he heard a crisp and powerful sound reaching his ears!
"BP has begun!" He looked excited, "VG is on the blue side in this round. Come up and ban Syndra first. This is one of Bilson's best mid laners in the current version!"
TSM blocked Kalista Zhen
With the amazing performance of Skateboard Shoes in the LPL Summer Finals and the bubbling stages of various major competition regions, no team will release her in the main game of the S competition. Currently, she is a ban that the red team must assume.
Hongmi banned it very quickly and sent Luo to the ban position.
After the incense burner system was born, the default unwritten rule that the red side was responsible for dismantling the Xialuo combination quietly changed.
The reason is the emergence of another strong character in the auxiliary position - Feng Nu.
The Fengnu, who has been dormant for several years, is bound to shine in this World Championship with her fiery incense burner!
The outstanding auxiliary ability to protect the queue and the defensive entry of R [Resurgence Monsoon] give Janna an unparalleled fault tolerance rate!
After careful research by VG and the sparring team, Feng Nu’s current hero strength is roughly between Xia Luo and single-choice Luo.
Redmi now wants to single out the female lead on the blue side, but doesn’t want to leave all Xia Luo to TSM, so it has to be responsible for dismantling the Phoenix Legend on the blue side.
"TSM chose to ban Prince," Miller held his chin and judged fairly. "To be honest, this is not a very good decision. Brother Xing's hero pool is really too deep. Now it belongs to the jungle version where Prince, Pig, Sister, Wine Barrel stand on three pillars.
Banning a character doesn’t have many negative consequences!”
He understands the problem, so how can the TSM coaching staff not understand it?
After VG blocked the French core snake girl, the North American champion bought a house for the pig girl in the ban position!
Obviously, TSM saw through VG's move to ban Luo that Redmi wanted to steal the lead, so they planned to block it in advance.
If Redmi insists on getting Janna in the first choice position, then TSM will get the only remaining herbivore version of Jungle Barrel, and it can be paired with another strong character!
At that time, Gu Xing will face the dilemma of no version of jungler available! Zhen
If VG takes away the wine barrel, Feng Nu will be taken away by TSM.
No matter how you calculate it, they don’t seem to be losing money!
North America's competitiveness in international competitions has declined year after year in recent years. The retirement model allows players to maintain a long career life while also limiting the upper limit of the competition area.
But the NA division is not without its strengths.
When it comes to esports data analysis, North America is the expert!
Backed by a university research institute and a region with the strongest technological level in the world, NA can attract a very high-level data analysis team by spending a lot of money.
In terms of BP in international competitions, even if North America is limited by player hero pools and personal strength deficiencies, it can still get a good lineup, which is enough to prove the ability of the data analysis team!
But in Redmi’s view, North America still lacks a little bit of innovation.
Under the inherent routine system, NA relies on the analysis team to obtain sufficient information to strategize and make perfect plans.
But as long as there is a slight change, they will be blinded immediately!
Hongmi decided to steal the spotlight and release the wine barrel!
"TSM got Beer and Cannon, both of which are very strong characters in the current version. After exchanging them, they still made a small profit!" Miller also noticed that something was wrong.
"All the heroes in the version have been banned, what will Brother Xing use to fight in the jungle?"
Redmi’s choice is to prioritize the jungle a little further, and get shooter Da Mou and mid laner Ryze Zhen in the second and third picks.
"There is nothing wrong with Ryze's choice," Wawa commented. "In the version on the eve of the World Championship, the magic power of W [Rune Confinement] soared directly from 0.2 to 0.6, and the output intensity immediately increased by more than one level!"
The blue-skinned bald man who was about to go into the sewer can instantly become a T1 mid laner on par with the rock bird with a patch.
TSM was not surprised. When they saw that VG banned Snake, they guessed that the opponent might want to take Ryze - after all, Cassiopeia's mechanism can play a good restraining effect on Ryze.
Instead, he took down the auxiliary Lulu, and added the Incense Burner monster to enter the second round of BP.
Compared with the generally banned version of strong characters in the first round, in the second round, most of the ban targets have been moved to positions where the enemy has not selected a hero for targeted restrictions.
TSM sent Gnar and Troll to the ban position. The former was afraid that Song Jinghao would be able to split push alone, while the latter was doing nothing and blocking all the tank junglers that Gu Xing could use in the current version.
Redmi, on the other hand, bans Shen and Aircraft, and removes all the large nuclear guarantees that its opponents are good at.
"TSM got a big bug in the top lane and gave the counter position to Bjergsen. They also want their mid laner to take a look at it again and wait until the entire VG lineup is selected before making a decision!"
So far, Hongmi has no hesitation, and I’ll see you with the dagger!
"Smeb picked the top laner Big Tree, no problem..." Wawa suddenly raised his voice, his tone full of surprise, "What kind of hero did Brother Xing choose?!"
It's time to show off your real skills!
The frivolous and confident choice of lines spread throughout the audience through the sound effects, causing ripples in the audience!
