After getting off the bus, the VG team members did not go to the hotel with the rest of the group to check in, but ran back to the Good Hope Mountain base first.
This is the host's advantage.
Before setting off for Wuhan to start the group stage, they didn't pack much in their suitcases and left Shanghai lightly packed.
Gu Xing can even free up a large space to install team uniforms given to him by other team members.
Now that they have reached the semi-finals, VG has traveled around half of China and finally returned to Shanghai. Naturally, they have to return to the base to replenish their supplies.
"Remember to bring a few more sets of clothes for autumn," Jin Wenhe reminded. "When we go to the Bird's Nest to compete, the weather in the Imperial Capital should be quite cold."
The team members laughed together after hearing this, and they all revealed their longing for the future while chatting.
Gu Xing hung the uniform of GAM jungler Levi in the closet of his dormitory, nodded with satisfaction, looked back at Yu Wenbo with his hands on his hips and showed off:
"Come here and take a look at the collection in this cabinet!"
Jack moved quickly. After packing his luggage, he leaned against the door and chatted with Gu Xing. At this moment, he heard him showing off and came over to take a look.
The cabinet is filled with all kinds of souvenirs, most of which are signed team uniforms. There are dozens of them. Not only the well-known players from the five major competition areas, but also the wild card brothers come to change their uniforms. Gu Xing is also the one who comes.
Resistance, resulting in combinations that are colorful and eye-catching.
Yu Wenbo first marveled, and then curled his lips dismissively.
"What kind of level does Levi deserve to be placed in the same row as the little peanut Jankos' uniform?" Jack muttered, "Why don't you step back a little!"
Gu Xing waved his hand, "Don't say that. After all, I won a game against Samsung in the group stage, which can be considered a great achievement..."
If GAM hadn't captured SSG in an upset, VG might not have been able to easily advance to the quarterfinals as the first in the group.
It is reasonable to give 1/3 of the credit to the soldier commander.
"Yu Wenbo!"
Jin Wenhe's shout suddenly came from downstairs.
"Here!" Jack was excited and replied subconsciously.
"I asked you to pack your luggage, and you brought me a box of AD calcium milk?!"
You can hear the anger in Jin Wenhyuk's voice from across the stairs.
Jack blushed, "What do you know? What's wrong with Edici if she doesn't drink AD calcium milk!"
He muttered and hurriedly went downstairs to save his drink.
Gu Xing closed the closet door and turned around with his hands on his hips to look around the room, wanting to check if there was anything missing that had not been packed into the suitcase.
The corners of the Jay Chou poster on the wall are slightly yellowed. They were posted when Gu Xing first came to VG last summer, and it's time to replace them.
He was thinking this in his mind.
I was dragging my suitcase and was about to leave when I suddenly remembered something.
Gu Xing rushed to the desk, where there was an album "Eight Dimensions of Space". Gu Xing put it into his bag and then left with peace of mind.
Downstairs, Jack was still taking AD calcium milk out of the box, and Kuro had nothing to do. He used the coffee machine in the restaurant that had been idle for a long time to make a pot of American coffee, and everyone drank a small cup to refresh themselves.
He knew that Gu Xing was not used to drinking, so he specially mixed it with some milk.
"Wouldn't it make an American latte with milk?" Gu Xing was curious.
"It's different," Kuro explained patiently, "American style with milk and water, the overall milk volume is not much, and the taste is much lighter."
Gu Xing seemed to understand. He took a sip and thought it tasted good. The bitter taste was mostly covered by the fragrance of milk. He leaned happily against the hall and picked up his phone.
When I opened Weibo, I found a bunch of people @himself.
This is not a rare thing, after all, Gu Xing is so popular here, and there are many fans following him on various social media every day.
But today there are a lot of them, and they all come from the same comment area. There is also a video link when @.
Gu Xing was very confused.
What happened?
Following the link and clicking in, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This is the Mike Crazy video officially issued by VG.
Gu Xing can probably guess the reason why these netizens @himself.
As expected, the 14 minutes and 43 seconds of this VG quarter-finals audio column is the content of the team's voice communication sent by Smeb to circumvent Hou Tianlei.
In the video, the four people in front of VG's defensive tower were being beaten back by G2.
The team members' voices were anxious in the voice, and Gu Xing had to raise his voice to give instructions.
"If you can't fight, move back first!"
"La la la la! Jack, please be careful and don't answer Q!"
At this moment, Song Jinghao began to teleport around the back, with a sonorous and powerful voice, "Just hold on a little longer, I'll be there soon!"
After the 4.5 seconds of guidance time, Kenan landed and flashed into the field to activate the thunder mode. A burst of lightning and thunder sent all the G2 players to the spring water!
The explosive damage also ushered in the manic cheers in VG’s voice.
"Fuck, Maibo!"
"What a handsome Kenan!"
"Maibo, you Chidori are so cruel!"
"One wave will shock the opponent to the point of numbness!"
Gu Xing in the video was extremely excited, and his voice became sonorous and powerful, "Nice! Well done, Maibo! We really paid for you in this round!"
Song Jinghao, who scored five kills, laughed heartily, "What do you think, brothers? Is this a big deal?"
"Niu Niu Niu," Kuro looked excited at first, and then began to take credit, "But you can't forget your roots as a human being. You have to thank your boss. If it weren't for the backsliding, you wouldn't have had the chance to teleport in and get it. Pentakill?”
"Ah, yes, yes..." Song Jinghao was in a state of excitement and had no energy to argue with Kuro, so he only responded with a few perfunctory words.
When Gu Xing, who was holding his cell phone, saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in resignation.
VG's current popularity is even higher than before the start of the World Championship. It has only been half an hour since the release of Mike Madness's video, and the number of views has already exceeded the 100,000 mark, and the barrages are densely packed full screen!
[@Virtue Gu Xing, Brother Xing, this is wrong. Didn’t the interview say that the players in the VG team were very calm and calm when they saw Mai Bohao get the pentakill? 】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Laughing, VG operation is a gangster, just release the original video to expose the old man]
[Brother Xing: Don’t be embarrassed, what does Virtue’s excitement and cheering have to do with me and Gu Xing?]
[Am I the only one paying attention to Kuro's filial piety? He really... I cried to death]
[So it turns out that Brother Xing did it? I watched the video again and found out, it’s a great achievement!]
【@Virtue Gu Xing, come out and speak!】
Gu Xing chose to pretend to be dead.
He finished the coffee in the cup and saw that Jack had packed his suitcase again. Then he left Mount Hope with his teammates, had a simple meal near Songjiang University Town, and then rushed to check in at the hotel arranged by Riot Games.
The rest of the time was just boring training matches and rankings, but no one complained.
After all, after struggling for a whole year, we have reached a critical moment. We are only two BO5s away from winning the Summoner's Trophy. If we endure it, it will be a long offseason.
However, it is worth mentioning that VG had a difficult time choosing a sparring partner this time.
Both RNG and EDG have left, and the only players left to accompany Gu Xing and others are the 15-person sparring group.
According to Hongmi, they want the sparring team to imitate the playing style of their semi-final opponent SKT as a way to deal with it.
But I couldn’t find anyone!
IG is a typical reckless person, preferring to set the pace during the laning phase. I can't find any similarities with SKT, so I eliminated it without even thinking about it.
WE seems to meet the requirements, but the top laner 957's play style is too team-oriented, and Kandi is not a herbivorous map control style.
After a long discussion, Gu Xing made a suggestion to let 957 take a rest and replace the top laner with Jin Gong.
This is the top laner with the strongest single-lane ability in the current sparring group.
Although TheShy's personal ability is also very strong, his focus is more on team battles. He has not played much push pushing in IG - mainly due to the limited team vision. IG has never paid attention to the ward position and cannot provide support to Jiang Chenglu.
There is enough space for a single side lane, and IG especially likes to start a team recklessly. TheShy cannot stay on the sideline for too long and has to come over to join the battle.
In addition, changing a team's top laner will damage the overall team understanding. In this case, it is best to choose someone with stronger communication skills to make up for the shortcomings.
Jin Gong is undoubtedly the better choice. He is now considered the best among Korean aid players in Chinese papermaking. Eliminating the accent factor, he is more proficient than Smeb.
As for the jungler, Gu Xing's idea is to let Kandi take over for the time being, but he must allocate some training game share to the jungle king Eimy.
As he said before, the wild king's unpredictable jungle planning route is very useful in the current herbivorous version. Although the complicated and confusing jungle planning route will delay some time, unexpected movements will make the enemy line
The hero is extremely afraid, and maybe he can create a gank opportunity!
What's more, in the S6 World Championship, Gu Xing used Eimy's random jungle brushing method to completely disrupt his own route, making the stupid chicken who is good at guessing the enemy jungler's movements through sporadic vision information dizzy!
This move works wonders against SKT’s herbivorous jungle style!
Gu Xing planned to face off against Ye Wang for a while, trying to get back the feeling he had back then.
After hearing the arrangement, Eimy beamed with joy.
Before this World Championship, he never dreamed that he, a jungler lingering in the relegation zone, would be selected for the training team.
Now that there is room for performance, Wild King will naturally perform well!
Maybe during this year's transfer period, someone will look at you and get a good-priced contract?
I don’t have any objections to WE’s Ueno, who needs to be rotated.
Originally, I came here for sparring, and VG was the talker, so he had to listen to what he said and put on the appearance that Gu Xing wanted.
If they are not playing training matches, they can still surf and surf on their mobile phones to rest, so why not?
In the remaining time, everyone at VG went to shoot the semi-finals promotional video under the arrangement of Riot Games.
It looks like everything is calm and all is well.
But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
The day before the semi-finals started, a small episode broke out.
From the Canyon Top server.
In an interview with Korean media, Wolf revealed that when he was training at the top of the canyon recently, he had frequently encountered malicious hangups from players in the Chinese server.
The report also specifically posted the game records of Lee Jae-wan’s account, proving that what he said was true.
This move caused a stir in the public opinion field which was somewhat calm before the semi-finals.
Netizens on the Inven forum took to the keyboard and began to disgust people without mercy.
[This is how it is in the LPL. You can only satisfy your strange self-esteem through off-game moves such as ranking and AFK!]
[This is why professional players come to the Korean server to train. The quality of CN’s servers is obvious to all, and it cannot achieve the training effect at all]
[I can’t help Sister Li, after all, so what if the LPL has a championship? There is only a Summoner’s Trophy, and they will never see the LPL division civil war in the international arena in this life. This honor only belongs to the LCK]
[What if we just let them play in the qualifying match for a while? 3LCK VS 1LPL, those who didn’t know thought it was the LCK Autumn Split! 】
I don’t know which bad guy reposted all the posts from the Inven forum to the anti-bar, and the derogatory and contemptuous meaning expressed in his words angered the maggot babies.
[RNM really gives you the face? Just hang up and hang up. If Faker comes over, I will hang up on you too! Where is the director team at the top of the canyon? Let’s do something!]
[What about the three top four LCK teams? If you focus on quality rather than quantity, the VG team can crush you to pieces!]
[That’s it, why did you forget so quickly about winning three LCK championships in last year’s World Championship? Remember eating but not fighting, right?]
[VG must win the semi-finals for me! Crush SKT!]
Although the maggot babies are very unhappy, Riot still needs to take practical actions to punish players who violate the spirit of competition.
The accounts of Top of the Canyon players who were suspected of maliciously hanging up in Wolf's game record chart were banned, and a vigorous and vigorous operation to catch moles was launched in the server, and several director leaders were arrested, which can be regarded as an explanation to the players.
In fact, professional players were not affected much at all.
Since the group stage, many players have recognized the characteristics of Top of the Canyon and know that they cannot gain much training results from this server, so they have specifically approached Riot to approve the qualifications of the Korean server.
The computers in the training room are all provided by Riot Games, and there are only Chinese server alliances in it. If you want to follow the Korean server client and accelerator, you have to register.
However, Riot has always turned a blind eye in this regard, and you can basically just apply.
As a result, all three LCK teams returned to the Korean server rankings, and even the internal training matches were held in the local client.
Wolf played Top of the Rift because Riot employees had just arrived from Guangzhou and refreshed all the players’ consoles. Li Zaiwan had to re-approval to download and install the Korean server, so he had to use his free time to play two games on the Chinese server, and then he ran into
The player maliciously hangs up.
Subsequently, Tencent dealt with a batch of Chinese server crews, and Wolf did not return to the top of the canyon, but traveled freely in the Korean server.
Gu Xing does not advocate this kind of malicious AFK behavior. If Korean server players are attracted to do the same, it will not be a good thing for the players of the two servers and professional players.
But it is impossible for him to jump out and denounce domestic players.
Gu Xing knew very well that this was a way for supporters to support VG, but it was an unreliable method. If he said a few words, it would be equivalent to stabbing the fans in the back!
The best response he can do is to step on SKT's corpse again in the semifinals and reach a higher level!
October 28th arrived quietly.
Shanghai Oriental Sports Center.
This building is located near the Qiantan, not far from the Huangpu River. The shape of the stadium is like a rough wave, with the top like a laurel crown, which seems to symbolize that the team that wins here will win the championship.
Nowadays, the venue, which can accommodate 18,000 people, is packed with people. The noise generated by the audience can easily sweep through the entire venue, adding a bit of excitement to the sports center!
This year's theme song "The Legend Will Never Die" played in the background, and the spotlights on the dome flashed endlessly following the rhythm.
Until the last note fell, all the lights in the venue went out in an instant.
The sudden cheers in the stands were deafening!
The countdown numbers were displayed on the big screen at the scene, and tens of thousands of spectators shouted in unison!
"Three, two, one..."
The fist broke the glass, opened the bridge between virtuality and reality, and then evolved into Riot's logo.
The logo gradually dimmed, and when the light appeared again, you saw a close-up of Gu Xing's front on the big screen!
The narration voice dubbed by him slowly filled the Oriental Sports Center.
"As the only remaining team in the host LPL division, I think VG should shoulder the mission of moving the entire division forward..." Gu Xing in the camera is standing in front of the Bund. In the thick night, the Oriental Pearl Tower behind is clearly showing '
The words "LPL Come on".
He crossed his arms and looked serious.
"This is our home court. If you dare to attack, you will be defeated!"
