The distinctive hero selection voice set off waves of chaos in the Bird's Nest. The sound waves created by 50,000 people gathered together and hit the edge walls of the stadium wantonly, echoing endlessly in the ears of every audience!
Shen Guanshan's eyes flashed, focusing entirely on Qian Jue in the VG hero selection box, and his heart was full of expectations.
Not only were the audience shocked, but the commentators were also surprised. Their voices were infinitely amplified through the speakers, which not only served as accompaniment to the surging sound waves at the scene, but also acted as a sounding board, becoming everyone's mouthpiece.
"Kindred?!"
I remember exclaiming, "Brother Xing, are you serious about this?"
Wawa began to display his traditional skills and shouted to further heat up the atmosphere of the game, "This is Brother Xing's absolute signature hero. If I remember correctly, I haven't seen him pick it for a while!"
The guide gives detailed data.
The last time Gu Xing used Kindred was back on June 11, at the beginning of the summer split. He used the Everhunt Twins to face the Snakes, and used 11 layers of marks on Sofm's head in just 24 minutes, setting a new historical record!
"After 146 days, Brother Xing took out Qianjue again!" Miller shouted loudly, "This is also the first time he chose his own unique skill after Qianjue was revised!"
After Gu Xing used Kindred to torture the Snake Team, the designer immediately took action and changed the mark reward to increase the range, and the original percentage damage from basic attacks was transferred to skills.
Since then, Gu Xing has never used Qian Jue in the professional arena.
"I don't know how Brother Xing's new version of Qian Jue plays," Wawa was a little worried, "After all, it has been revised..."
Shen Guanshan didn't take it seriously when he heard this.
The subversive rework of Sword Lady and Captain is a complete rework starting from the hero mechanism, and the core ideas have been changed.
Qian Jue is a medium-sized change at best, and the core mechanism is still mark capture. For a guy with unique skills like Gu Xing, the play style has not changed much!
Apart from the surrounding noise, Shen Guanshan could still hear the ghost crab sitting in the front row communicating with Chunli.
Since the two of them didn't speak very fast and their words were simple, she could understand them effortlessly.
"Virtue is really crazy," Ghost Crab said with emotion, "How dare you choose Kindred in a herbivorous jungle environment."
Chunli nodded in agreement, "That's right, it seems Virtue doesn't pay attention to the version at all!"
"Nowadays, junglers are either tank tanks or incense burner tools like Cuishen. Choose a jungle core? I'm afraid you're daydreaming!" He couldn't help but sneered when he said this.
Hi, I am the one who extended the jungle refresh time in the S7 pre-season. Does anyone know what the impact will be?
If it weren't for the random operations of the colleagues responsible for the assassin changes, the herbivorous jungle environment would have lasted throughout the entire S7 season!
You don’t really think that because you are Qian Jue’s unique brother, you can reverse the version and carry the whole audience, right?
Chunli was waiting to take care of Gu Xing's school beauty.
Although from a personal subjective point of view, he appreciates Gu Xing's performance on the field, from a work perspective, his dignity as a designer cannot be insulted!
There is no doubt that choosing Qian Jue in the reverse version is a challenge to Chunli's own ability!
You really don’t take me seriously. You played Kindred last year. Are you coming again this year?
Gu Pan could also hear the conversation between the two Riot designers. He lamented that Chun Li was starting to have schizophrenia again and was worried at the same time, "Yes, isn't this version all about grass-eating junglers? Gu Pan chose Kindred, right?" A little too arrogant?"
Shen Guanshan remained firm and unmoved, "It's okay. I believe in Gu Xing. If you dare to choose Qian Jue, you will definitely have the confidence!"
She has 100% trust in Gu Xing.
Regarding whether Kindred’s selection is reasonable, there are also different opinions in the LCK commentary box.
"It makes no sense," Roaring Emperor said doubting life, "How is Qian Jue going to play in this version?"
"The economy that the jungle can provide is very limited and cannot support the development of core output points at all!"
"You can't use Kindred as a tool, right?"
Next to him, Jin Dongjun, who is also a senior commentator, has his own understanding, and based on this, he speculates on Gu Xing’s logic of choosing Qian Jue, “Maybe Edgar’s restrictions on the jungler are too good, so VG simply thinks that there are no strong jungle heroes outside. Optional, Qian Jue happens to be a character that Virtue is good at, and it is easier to deal with the prince, so I locked him..."
Even though Kindred's attitude towards the prince was pure and simple, Jarvan IV could easily be regarded as a dumb kid walking around with his dog.
But this analysis is completely untenable in CloudTemplar’s opinion!
As a former professional player, he knew that VG would not be able to select such an inverse version of the character in the crucial S finals.
How unpopular is Qian Jue?
Starting from the qualifying round of the S7 World Championship, the BP rate of this hero is 0%!
Gu Xing was selected in today’s final!
Comparing their feelings, CloudTemplar believed that it was unreasonable for Gu Xing to insist on using Qian Jue.
If you want early-game rhythm, get Rek'Sai, and if you want mid- to late-game teamfights, get Zac.
Although the current versions of these two characters are not strong, they are better suited to the current environment than Kindred!
There must be a conspiracy behind VG's unconventional move!
However, CloudTemplar was also puzzled. While the two partners were chatting, they pondered for a while but couldn't figure out the reason.
The feeling of guessing that the other party had a trap, but not knowing where it was hidden made him scratch his head!
Samsung’s training department is also in a similar mental state.
Edgar naturally didn't believe that VG would choose Kindred, who had never played in this tournament before, without any preparation, but he just couldn't figure out what special design the opponent had.
Seeing that the team members' emotions were slightly fluctuating, he quickly offered words of comfort.
"Don't panic, everyone. As long as we do our part, it won't be difficult to win!"
However, the effect of this motivation was very mediocre, and the Samsung team members were obviously unsure, and anxiety and panic were growing.
When Edgar saw this, he had to take a drastic measure, "Don't forget why we went through all the hardships to reach the final stage!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in SSG immediately became energetic.
They have spent everything they have for this revenge.
How could it be possible for Gu Xing to give up halfway just because he chose the signature hero?
Edgar felt relieved when he saw that the team members had adjusted well, and hurriedly left the soundproof room and headed to the center of the stage.
The Bird's Nest was too big, and the stage couldn't be built, so Riot spent a lot of money to build a Summoner's Rift in the middle of the soundproof rooms of the teams on both sides!
In this way, when viewed from the camera lens, the soundproof room looks like spring water, which is in line with the setting of League of Legends.
It just hurts the coaches of the two teams.
The springs are 100 meters apart, so even if they were going in both directions, the two of them would have to walk quickly for more than ten seconds!
Hongmi was relatively strong and was the first to arrive at the Summoner's Trophy in the middle of the canyon.
In order to keep up with his disciple, Edgar jogged two steps before catching up.
Before she could even take a breath, she saw the mysterious smile on Hongmi's face, as if her plot had succeeded.
He was furious, but he was afraid that his timidity would be revealed if he spoke, so he thought about it again and again but still did not speak. The master and apprentice simply shook hands and left the canyon side by side, handing the stage to the players of both sides.
The director slowly pulled the camera up from the two coaches until they overlooked the entire canyon!
One of the two soundproof rooms at the spring is printed with Samsung's iconic blue shield, and the other has the silver-white VG team logo.
The ground lamps buried in the defense tower light up one after another, from the springs on both sides to the middle.
At the same time, the hero portraits of both teams also appeared in front of all the audience.
Blue side SSG: top laner Shen, jungler Prince, mid laner Karma, bottom laner Verus Soraka.
Red side VG: top laner Gnar, jungler Kindred, mid laner Malzahar, bottom lane cannon Lulu.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the camera freezes on the bird's nest's panoramic view of the Summoner's Rift.
Immediately afterwards, it seamlessly switches to the canyon in the virtual game. The operation is so smooth that you can tell at a glance that the director has practiced a lot in private!
Ten heroes were born in the spring. Qianjue held a long bow and looked around. It seemed that he had been away from this canyon for too long and felt that the environment was a bit strange.
Gu Xing hurriedly bought some clothes for going out. Before the gate of the spring was opened, he took two deep breaths to calm his violently beating heart.
He rubbed the mouse with his fingertips.
The Qian Jue painting on G903 is lifelike, and the two small and exquisite horns of the sheep spirit shine with RGB light.
Gu Xing calmed down and said, "First level of caution, try not to fight, the opponent is quite powerful..."
Although VG has two shooters, the mid laner is a useless grasshopper.
Unless Kuro, one of the gods, uses his Q [Void Summons] to silence many enemies, he will not be a match for the invincible mid-support pair of three-star Karma and Nurse!
"Do you want me to take a look at the movement on the opposite side?" Song Jinghao asked.
After thinking about it, Gu Xing responded, "No, you have to push the line in the early stage. It's easy to get caught if you make an eye. It's better for me to make up the eye."
Normally speaking, the revised Kindred has a level 1 W [Wolf Frenzy] - this skill now deals damage as a percentage of the current health, and biting wild monsters is very painful.
However, just to be on the safe side, Gu Xing didn’t click on skills yet, and went to the SSG upper and jungle area accompanied by his two single-line teammates.
Set up a ward through the wall to the point where the opponent's blue buff and the Demon Swamp Frog camp meet, and you will see three stars, upper, middle and jungler waiting here!
Since Shen and the prince are both melee heroes and cannot instantly remove this ornamental eye, Cuvee simply learned E and taunted Gu Xing to kill him!
If you keep taunting, Karma's RQ triggers thunder with normal attacks, and coupled with the prince's damage, it's absolutely no problem to instantly kill the fragile Kindred!
The skill points that Gu Xing had deliberately saved before came in handy. When Shen rushed up, he immediately learned Q and jumped back to increase the distance.
In this way, even if Shen becomes angry and uses Flash to achieve the taunting effect, Prince An will not be able to harm him immediately.
Cuvee was very smart. He didn't try to kill by jumping up and down, and retreated calmly despite the damage from the enemy's upper, middle and jungle.
Anyway, VG didn't have any hard control to keep him, and it only lost nearly 200 health points before and after.
Gu Xing did not pursue deeply - he had not yet grasped the movement information of the enemy duo. Although chasing too far forward could further reduce Shen's health, there was also the risk of falling into an enemy ambush.
He chose to give up as soon as possible and retreated to his own upper jungle area.
Seeing that the two teams retreated safely, Wawa analyzed the pros and cons of the exchange of fire, "Cuvee hit E at level 1 and lost some HP. He sacrificed his own lane in exchange for Brother Xing being forced to hit Q, which reduced Kindred's early jungle brushing.
In terms of speed, I feel that SSG obviously loses more!"
"I think so," Miller became optimistic when he came to the Bird's Nest finals stage, saying that his side would not lose money but gain blood. "How will Cuvee fight in this lane?"
In fact, it was VG who was in trouble.
Shen, the top laner, versus Gnar, is already very difficult to line up at level 1. No matter which skill Cuvee uses, it will be useless. Only after reaching level 3 can he gradually gain dominance in the lane.
It's not a big deal if he puts more laning pressure on himself.
It was much more difficult for Gu Xing.
Kindred, who has level 1 Q [Dance of Arrows], can't kill wild monsters at all!
Without Wolf Spirit's Frenzy reduction in cooldown, the Q skill's usefulness in clearing the jungle would be greatly reduced!
If Gu Xing were to open the field alone, he would never be able to clear three groups of camps and reach level 3 before 2 minutes and 30 seconds!
This means that when the river crab with the wolf spirit mark is refreshed, it will be difficult for Gu Xing to deal with it!
If you try to rob it forcefully, you might be downgraded by Anbixin. With Samsung’s strong midfielder strength, VG can be driven into a place of no return!
If you don't grab it, Gu Xing's development will be hindered.
And due to the fact that the midfielder's combat effectiveness cannot keep up, there is basically no chance of snatching another river crab from SSG's mouth!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You must know that when Kindred has 0 layers of marks, the wolf spirit will only mark river crabs, which is really a picky eater.
Two river crabs were lost and it took 3 minutes to wait for the refresh!
Before that, unless Qian Jue Gank gets the Sheep Spirit Mark, it will always remain passive at level 0!
Gu Xing didn't want to wait that long.
The information provided by the jewelry eye allowed him to see clearly that An Bixin was playing from the blue BUFF in the Ueno area. He singled out the red BUFF himself, and then headed straight to the middle.
He has to rush to the middle to deal with the second wave of minions, forcefully liberate Kuro, use the line of troops to put pressure on Samsung, and compete for the Xiahe Crab that refreshes in two and a half minutes!
As soon as they reached the grass in the middle road, the mid laners on both sides killed the first minion in the second wave of soldiers, and both of them were promoted to level 2.
Crown takes full advantage of the early strong characteristics of Karma's mid laner, sets himself an E [Inspiration], and then seeks out Kuro for blood.
Li Ruixing's eyes shone brightly, and he quickly called to his jungler to get ready to freeze his hands.
Gu Xing did not hesitate, jumped out with the dance of arrows, and cast the wolf spirit to hunt, while he was stuck at the extreme distance of level A and attacked Karma.
The attached red BUFF effect sticks the crown on!
Just when Gu Xing wanted to continue to lower Crown's health, a golden light flashed.
Lu Bu, wearing a pheasant feather on his head, suddenly appeared on the line from the shadows blocked by the narrow wall beside the grass above the middle road!
Immediately afterwards, the German military flag fell at Qian Jue's feet.
Dragon Crash!
An Bixin's flash EQ was as fast as lightning, causing waves in the stands on all sides of the Bird's Nest!
Qian Jue Q has not been released yet. If he is really picked up into the air by the prince, Gu Xing, who has lost a lot of health due to single-handedly clearing the jungle, will definitely die!
At critical moments, Gu Xing remained highly focused.
When the prince's collision volume was about to hit Qian Jue, he handed over the flash in time and moved to the side to distance himself.
Narrowly avoiding An Bixin's second EQ company!
The audience suddenly burst into cheers!
"What a quick response!" I remember praising him profusely, "Brother Xing refused to let me go and even chased the leader Kuang Dian An!"
Gu Xing took full advantage of the red BUFF, clinging to the prince and constantly reducing the enemy's health!
An Bixin didn't dare to fight back. After the second company was empty, the level 2 prince no longer had combat effectiveness - this was why he chose to flash EQ instead of EQ before. If he wanted to kill Qian Jue, he had to kill the dragon.
The impact damage must be dealt out.
Fortunately, the VG midfielder did not have stable hard control before level 6. After reducing Jarvan's health to 1/3, they let An Bixin return to the tower. After clearing the middle lane, the two went straight to the river.
Gu Xing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to his concentration, otherwise even if he was stunned for a moment, he would have been killed by the three-star midfielder!
Thinking of this, Gu Xing felt lingering fear.
Although Samsung talks about the Iron Turtle style of play, it has a good way of playing defensive counterattacks, which is to trick you into attacking and then find loopholes from it.
The first-level layout vision was like this, and it is still like this now!
An Bixin made it clear that he knew that Gu Xing could not get the mark after three speeds, and judged that he could only fight for the river crab by pushing the lane in the middle, so after reaching the second level, he counter-crouched near the middle!
It’s not an exaggeration to call him cunning!
Gu Xing did not dare to take it lightly.
However, thanks to his reaction speed, he escaped and can now enjoy the fruits of victory.
The time has reached two and a half minutes, and the moment the river crab reappeared in the canyon, it was marked by the hungry wolf spirit!
"One of the SSG midfielders has to deal with the troops under the tower, and the other is in poor health and has to give up the first marked wild monster!" The baby was excited, "Brother Xing started off quite smoothly!"
"Wait a minute..." Miller frowned, "Kuro's last hit is so bad, why did he get so many hits from the Crown?"
The audience took a closer look and found that Kuro only added 7 minions in the two waves.
Looking back at Crown, the basic skills of the tower sword are extremely good. At a glance, you can tell that he usually resists pressure. He pocketed all the two waves of troops without losing a single one. He has already widened the gap with Kuro in terms of last-hitting!
"It's all Qian Jue's fault!" I remember spotting Hua Dian. He was surprised at first and then said in a joking tone, "What is Brother Xing doing? He's getting dirty, isn't he?"
Counting it down, after the conflict broke out in the middle and jungle between the two sides, all five SSG minions were replaced by Gu Xing!
The bird's nest burst into laughter.
Countless netizens in the live broadcast room also talked about it.
[Oh, when I covered my ID, I thought I was possessed by Dirty Jarvan!]
[Five soldiers can’t do it? Who are you implying! 】
[I finally found out that Brother Xing doesn’t regard Kuro as a human being at all. How can he attack this line of troops? 】
[That’s right, Brother Xing, this is a bit too much. When I usually play mid laner and encounter this kind of jungler, I have to hang up and teach him a lesson!]
[That’s almost it, Kuro himself doesn’t have any objections, and you’re still going to trial?]
[Kuro: Why is the wild father not fat? Is it possible that I can lead my teammates to win?]
Gu Xing, who was in the soundproof room, didn't even know how the audience would react, let alone the netizens in the live broadcast room.
But if he really saw the last barrage, he would probably think that the netizen was a roundworm in Kuro's belly.
Li Ruixing really took the initiative to show his courtesy and asked Gu Xing to kill all the five soldiers, shouting about who would eat who's C.
Gu Xing didn't show up either.
Because this is all part of the ‘Qianjue Three-Step Tactics’ that was improved by Redmi based on the RNG Uzi Policewoman’s three-step system at the end of the VG Summer Split.
Just as the commentators and designers thought, this version of Kindred is average in strength, and the monster reset speed is too slow, and the resources are not enough for the wild core Kindred to develop into shape.
Single-choice Qian Jue is not strong enough.
Qian Jue, the incense burner monster, doesn’t have enough resources to farm it.
However, on the basis of choosing the Incense Burner monster, and then letting Kuro, who is not economical in the first place, give up the army line to Qian Jue, allowing him to attack both the lane and the jungle, Gu Xing can be quickly formed!
"Rui Xing, you can make an eye on F6 on the opposite side," Gu Xing commanded, "I have to see the prince's movements."
Kuro obeyed his words, inserted wards through the wall, and then returned to the middle to continue the laning.
The field of view accurately captured the final images of the six members of the Sharpbill family before they were killed in battle.
Gu Xing decided to go all the way up from the lower field area.
The point when he got the lower river crab was 2 minutes and 45 seconds, and the wolf spirit's hunting interval is 50 seconds, which means that it will start the next hunt in 3 minutes and 35 seconds!
The target range will be changed to river crabs, enemy marsh frogs and F6!
After the death of the three-star Sharpbill, only two groups of camps in the Ueno area met the conditions!
Gu Xing planned to brush over and take advantage of the situation to control the second layer of marks.
Little did he know that he would plunge into a trap carefully laid by the enemy.
