The flashing lights in the stands were non-stop, accompanied by deafening cheers from the audience.
Once again, all five players were elected to the best team of the year.
This is the second time in LPL history that a similar situation has occurred.
The last time it happened was at the 2016 awards ceremony after VG won its first championship in the region!
There was a lot of discussion in the barrage.
[I’m really not telling you, are the officials too biased towards VG? They have given them the best lineup for two consecutive years and refused to let others eat a piece of the cake]
[Pure fart, just tell me who can squeeze out the VG players, Jesnal Kenan, the top model in the three versions of Letme who can only play half of the top lane, or the weak and weak little tiger in the S game, or the one who can't even play Xia
Transferring Uzi? Not to mention EDG. The scene of Meiko giving SKT 10,000 to make an economic comeback is still vivid in my mind. Giving the best support of the year to Tian Tan is purely unconscionable]
[Does anyone remember how desperate everyone was after October 20th? The culprits are those two teams. Now that VG Bird's Nest has won the championship, you want to take credit again, right?]
[The top eight stinkers still want to share the cake from the champion, Chunchun even wants to lose face! Even the sparring team won’t give it to you]
[Please, how about the VG Grand Slam? I won all the way from the Spring Split to the World Championship. I’m asking you to win the championship this year and also compete for the best lineup? 】
On the stage, five VG players have already received the trophy from Jin Yibo.
"Before joining VG, some people on the Internet have been scolding me for not being worthy of my reputation. Although I have no results, I want to join the ranking of the best top laner. Some netizens also said that I am destined to be SKT's loser." Song Jinghao held the microphone and spoke, "Although I am very sad in my heart.
I’m depressed, but I also know that this is an indisputable fact.”
"However, in just one year, I gained countless honors and recognition, and personally defeated the enemy who had suppressed me for three years." Although his Chinese tone is very strange, it is difficult to conceal the sincerity in his tone,
"I am very grateful to VG for providing me with this opportunity, and thank you to everyone who has always supported me."
Song Jinghao's eyes were full of memories. The S7 season was so dreamy to him that he could spend his whole life slowly recalling it.
"Now, I can finally legitimately say that I am one of the strongest top laners!" He was so excited that he raised the trophy high.
You can even delete the word 'one'.
There has never been a Grand Slam winner in the above unit. Ma Datou, who has the league championship and the S crown, does not have the MSI championship. Duke, who has the MSI championship, does not have the S crown, and the league honors are not very high.
Only Song Jinghao, with three league championship trophies, plus MSI and S championship, is currently the best in the world in the field of honor!
Kuro's thanks were more straightforward.
"It was Pingu who attracted me to VG in the first place. After watching the S6 finals, I was deeply impressed by the strength he showed." Li Ruixing looked back at his jungler, "Facts have proved that my choice was right. Pingu
Gu's improvement in the team is unimaginable and cannot be described in words!"
"I can get this trophy for the best mid laner of the year, and all the credit is due to me!" Kuro also used an idiom he learned from Mr. Hou earlier.
Li Ruixing thought that 1/3 of the credit was not enough to thank Gu Xing for his efforts, and he once wanted to stuff the trophy into Gu Xing's arms.
Gu Xing smiled and hugged him, enjoying the cheers from countless fans in the stands together.
Not long after he stepped off the stage, it was the turn of the award for the most popular contestant.
There is no suspense, Gu Xing collects another trophy!
Currently, he is the most popular in the entire LPL region. With his double-championship reputation and his good appearance and character, it is reasonable for him to have many supporters.
Gu Xing routinely thanked the audience and teammates, and when he came off the stage holding the high-quality trophy, he happened to bump into Gui Jiaoqi.
"Hey, you don't know why!" Gu Xing smiled and exchanged greetings with the other party, "Are you quite happy that you didn't gain anything today?"
EDG was nearly wiped out at this awards ceremony. Only the Manager of the Year was won by Guodian's Shen Mingjun. Even the Rookie of the Year that Iboy was targeting was snatched away by Shi Senming!
But now Gui Jiao Qi smiles brightly, and his dead fish eyes that usually look a little frightened are curled up, and it seems that his mentality is not affected by being accompanied throughout the whole process.
"What's wrong with you," Ming Kaile said, "Xiao Gu, just keep going crazy, I will definitely have your juice next year!"
Gu Xing heard the overtone and immediately raised his eyebrows.
"How do you say," he asked curiously, "is there any progress in recruiting during the transfer period?"
Gui Jiao Qi said proudly, "That's natural, I signed the contract just now!"
Gu Xingzheng was wondering who Guodian's recruiting target was, and his buzzing cell phone informed him of the answer.
"It's all about the pot," Little Peanut's excited voice echoed in his ears, "Next season we will fight in the same division!"
"Congratulations," Gu Xing waved goodbye to Gui Jiao Qi as he left, and congratulated Han Wanghu from the bottom of his heart, "Let's go out for a meal together then."
"Sure," Xiaohuahua promised, "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Brother Lu Zhe. He tried his best to invite me to EDG, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to go."
Nofe was the head coach of the Tigers and was very close to Peanut.
He has always wanted to recreate the manic bulldozer mode of ROX in Guodian, so he trained EDG into a team that focuses on early offense.
The players of Hanchengxiang are not accustomed to the local environment. Their advantage in the laning phase is not as good as that of the Tigers, and they have completely forgotten the mid-to-late game operations that they were good at before.
In the end, EDG was stunned!
The management of Guodian still trusts Nofe.
After all, the huge advantage of 10,000 yuan in the World Championship was overturned. It had nothing to do with the coach's tactics. It was purely because the players themselves were not rigorous in their own play, giving the opponent a chance to reverse the situation.
The team can achieve a 10000 economic difference through early arrangements. Isn't it the coach's credit?
Abramovich thought so too, and chose to listen to Nofe's opinion and chose the latter from the two new foreign players who came to work in the LPL, Casa and Xiaohuahua.
"Where's the top order?" Gu Xing began to make full use of his connections to gather information, "I see that Mouse officially announced his departure from the team two days ago."
After signing Xiaohuahua, the only top order option left for Guodian is the domestic one.
But Gu Xing knows only too well how scarce domestic top orders are these days!
957, Holy Spear Brothers are not for sale in their respective teams. No matter how powerful EDG is, there is no way they can recruit these two figures into their ranks.
leftover……
It’s impossible to find Letme, right?
That's no different from Mouse!
When Gu Xingzheng was confused, Little Peanut revealed the answer.
"You'd never expect that person...XiaoAL!" He read out his teammate ID for next season in broken Chinese.
Gu Xing suddenly realized.
Guodian’s recruitment target is actually Suning’s top laner Lang Xing!
"Yes," Gu Xing was very surprised, "EDG's lineup will be quite impactful next year."
The reputation of Wolf Walking Theory is definitely not as good as Holy Spear Brother 957.
But it’s not bad in terms of strength. He can be called the president of Suning. He dragged the team forward in the summer split, and he had the style of Jin Gong back then.
This move to EDG, combined with the pair of first-line midfielders and young peanuts, will undoubtedly raise the overall strength of the first half of Guodian to a higher level!
Coupled with the bottom lane duo of Iboy and Meiko, EDG's overall configuration is undoubtedly aimed at the LPL championship!
"You're not panicking at all, are you?" Peanut joked, "If we beat VG then, we'll have to fight hard!"
Gu Xing coldly snorted, holding the trophy and replied disdainfully, "Originally, I thought Mingkai would retire, and EDG might not be able to give us warmth if they change to a jungler. I didn't expect that it would be your little peanut in exchange.
Is the pressure good?”
He was obviously hinting at the identity of Prince Peanut circulated on the Internet.
When Gu Xing caught Han Wang, he almost caught him every time, pushing him to the ground and beating him violently every time!
Peanut was furious, "Just show me, I will definitely take revenge next season!"
"Ah, right, right," Gu Xing said perfunctorily, "I, Qiuqiu, don't just show off with your words. If you have the guts to beat me first, then you can talk."
After hanging up the phone, he returned to his seat and took the coke that Kuro offered him attentively, pouring it into his mouth.
"Can I do that?" Li Ruixing came over to take credit, "I know you don't like to drink Pepsi, so I bought Coca-Cola specially!"
Gu Xing has long been accustomed to the goodwill shown by his mid laner, "It's great, I'll give you a little reward... By the way, why am I a little distracted when I look at other teams today?"
Lu Wenjun laughed out loud, "Because of the transfer period!"
"Usually, the award ceremony is held before the transfer period. Whether it is the players or the management, it can still maintain the surface of peace," he leisurely began to point out. "What do you think about now?"
"Those who are leaving the team are still worried about their next home, those who are not leaving are thinking about who will partner with them next season, and the management is still busy reinforcing the team. Who wants to go to the award ceremony?" Lu Wenjun pointed to the back,
"Have you seen the boss of Jingdong? He is handing out business cards to others all over the place!"
After saying that Cao Cao was about to arrive, Lan Boqing rushed over when he saw Gu Xing looking back at him.
"Brother Xing, brother Xing, why did you negotiate to renew the contract so quickly?" He looked regretful, "To be honest, it's not impossible to increase the quotation."
Gu Xing stretched out his hand and shook it, "I have seriously considered JD.com, but after careful consideration, I still feel that VG is more suitable for me."
Lan Boqing couldn't be angry at this time. The team's foothold in the LPL was not stable, so offending Gu Xing was not a wise choice.
"Then we'll work together again if we have the opportunity in the future..."
Gu Xing started to draw the cake, "Next time!"
Lan Baiqing said hello to the VG members and quickly went to find other players to issue recruitment orders.
Now that all members of VG have renewed their contracts, no matter how strong they are, their attraction to him has dissipated.
"I heard that JDG bought the golden left hand from YM and wanted to form a team around Knight." Lu Wenjun had nothing to do, so he was responsible for telling the players the information he had.
"Knight?" Gu Xing was stunned at first when he heard this ID, and then realized that it was Wang Wushuang, a passerby he had met in Ionia before.
Duan Deliang interrupted, "Although Knight is very talented, he still has little qualifications to be the core of the team, right?"
Lu Wenjun shrugged his shoulders, "There is no way. JDG wrote a lot of bad checks at the beginning of the transfer period. As a result, none of the big-name players he targeted were in place. If he makes a move now, he will be a big step behind other teams and can only start from the secondary league.
Recruit talents.”
In the final analysis, JDG's management from owner to manager is too young, experiencing the LPL transfer period for the first time, and has problems in formulating strategies.
Top players will definitely ask about the lineup first after receiving an excess salary - unless they want to sign a pension contract, it is impossible for players of this level to be indifferent to the strength of the lineup.
As a result, Lan Baiqing claimed that he would give all the autonomy to the star players to make choices, and he would only be responsible for paying.
But top players don’t believe it at all!
There are not many good players on the market, and most of them are not for sale.
I want Gu Xinglai to be my companion. Can you bring him to JD.com?
It only provides players with salaries and benefits, but lacks an overall consideration of the team's skills and tactics. It is even unclear what kind of lineup it wants to build, and it is impossible to attract famous players to join!
Now we can only find core players from the secondary leagues to play the role of the cornerstone of the team.
Gu Xing shook his head, too lazy to continue caring about things that had little to do with him. He concentrated on listening to Ren Dong's sonorous and powerful speech on the stage.
Lin Weixiang and his NB teammates were sitting in the back row of the players' seats. From a distance, they could only see the backs of the heads of the VG players in the front row.
He looked at Gu Xingjie's back holding the trophy and talking and laughing with the people around him, and felt extremely envious.
EDG who accompanied me finally won the best manager award, while NB was a pure and transparent person!
The team members are equivalent to the audience wearing suits.
As Lu Wenjun said, the NB members didn't even want to enjoy the awards ceremony, they were all too busy looking for a new home.
They received news early in the team that the boss wanted to sell the LPL seats quickly because he could not afford the 30 million deposit.
When the new boss takes over, it’s unclear how many of the original NB players will be left!
You must know that their performance is quite average, and they have repeatedly dived into the relegation zone. If they encounter a cruel boss and choose not to renew their contract, all NB members will become unemployed and work in the factory to work screws!
Liu Qingsong sighed and was very pessimistic about the future.
Gao Tianliang of the Seven Wolves said there was no cat cake, and the team was relegated continuously. If he wants to stay in the LPL, it will be difficult to reach the sky!
To be fair, Liu Qingsong's performance in S7 was not as good as Lin Weixiang's, and he was once forced to watch the water dispenser on the bench.
You can imagine how difficult it is to find a job!
The two of them were thinking about whether to go back and change the Korean server ID to the prefix of the team, trying to get the ranking higher to attract the attention of other teams, when they saw a fair man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a beard.
Stand in front of yourself.
Big eyebrows full of question marks.
"Are you interested in trying out for our team?" The man handed his business card to Lin Weixiang, hesitated for a moment, and then sent one to Liu Qingsong beside him.
"Introduce yourself, IG manager Su Xiaoluo." He stretched out his hand to shake the Xiangsong duo.
Liu Qingsong's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Gu Xing, who was sitting in the front row, had no intention of paying attention to the IG manager in the back row, who was creating another whirlpool during the transfer period.
Just because the next award is closely related to me.
Jin Yibo stood on the stage and showed everyone the envelope in his hand.
"In the envelope is our LPL's annual MVP award list. I believe everyone is looking forward to it..."
Before he could finish his routine words, he was drowned out by the roaring sound from the stands!
The audience shouted Gu Xing's ID in unison, and a surging wave quickly formed and swept the entire audience!
Jin Yibo raised his lips, obviously very satisfied with Gu Xing's current popularity.
"Let's take a look at the big screen first, the data of the five candidates..."
In addition to Gu Xing, the candidates for the annual MVP include RNG midfielder, EDG midlaner and Song Jinghao.
That being said, it looks pretty good just from the data panel.
Scout is at the forefront of the league in terms of team participation rate and MVP number. After joining Guodian for one and a half years, his cooperation with the team has become more and more intimate, and he has gradually shown his dazzling talents.
Xiaohu, on the other hand, has a considerable lead in terms of average damage per point and team output ratio. His excellent league performance slightly overshadowed his poor performance in the World Championship - of course, the more important thing is that the team has more help to attract firepower.
Xiangguo even achieved a terrifying average of 1.44 successful raids per game, ranking among the best among all players!
But it still pales in comparison to VG Ueno’s data.
Song Jinghao's average damage per point is 522 (1st), the team damage ratio is 23.3% (1st), and the average matchup lead per game is 1557 (1st)...
Gu Xing’s team participation rate is 88.5% (1st), KDA is 9.2 (1st), injury rate is 34.4% (1st), average invasion and jungle clearing is 19.5 (1st) per game, average matchup lead is 2395 (1st)...
There were endless exclamations, resounding in every corner of the theater!
Jin Yibo didn't give in. He opened the envelope and saw the familiar ID on it, and his smile immediately brightened.
"Annual MVP winner...Virtue, congratulations!"
Gu Xing took a deep breath and stood up again to hug his teammates.
"I knew it!" Kuro was elated, watching Gu Xing win a major award, and he was even happier than he was when he won the award. "It would be unusual if Gu Xing didn't win the annual MVP for your performance like this!"
Song Jinghao also nodded repeatedly. He was now convinced of Gu Xing, and it was reasonable for him to lose the competition within the team.
Gu Xing accepted the congratulations from his teammates with a smile, and then went to find the other three finalists to greet them warmly.
Liu Shiyu knew early on that he had no chance - losing to Gu Xing in the same position in the Jungler of the Year award meant that he would never have the slightest chance of winning the award.
He was quite convinced by Gu Xing's strength and slapped Gu Xing's back hard to express his inner joy.
"Don't ruin it again," Gu Xing reminded kindly, "This suit will have to be returned in the future, it's quite expensive."
Xiang Guo stopped immediately without saying anything.
Just kidding, his salary of 20,000 yuan a month can't afford Gu Xing's luxury suit.
Gu Xing strode toward the stage with a spotlight on his head.
During the process, a rich narration voice read out the award speech.
"With his unparalleled and superb jungle control skills, he dominated the LPL jungle throughout the spring. The number of MVPs in a single season that broke the historical record of the division proves his tyranny."
"He is the well-deserved absolute leader of the team. Even if the version changes, he cannot stop him from continuing to control the jungle, map control, and vision layout... He showed another side of himself to the world in the summer, and his impact on the battle situation is obvious to all."
"He is an open spear, transforming into a blind monk and launching a fierce attack like a sudden storm; he is also a hidden arrow, transforming into Kindred, flashing around in the wilderness, showing off his ghostly skills."
"His extraordinary integrity is the best interpretation of his jungle style. He was the patron saint of the competition area in the past, and now he is crowned king for the second time in the Bird's Nest and creates a legend!"
The live broadcast room was bustling with people, and the number of barrages exploded to the extreme.
【Deserved!】
[Others have no explanation, but I have two consecutive S championships, two FMVPs, and a Grand Slam. I don’t even know how to lose in the awards!]
【彳亍, I am Superman!】
【Shi Yiye is here, everyone, please stand back!】
Gu Xing took the heavy trophy from Jin Yibo and straightened the microphone toward the audience.
"First of all, I have to thank the organizers, the audience on site and in the live broadcast room, and I also want to thank my teammates..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He first mentioned the groups that must be thanked one by one, arousing bursts of noise in the stands.
"Being able to win the annual MVP award again is a recognition of my hard work this season," Gu Xing smiled brightly. "Before the award ceremony started, the host asked me what my goals were for tonight. I said at that time that I wanted to buy some goods and fill them with trophies.
The display cabinet is now a dream come true.”
He is undoubtedly the biggest winner tonight.
As long as you nominate, you will receive awards, and all of them are top-notch awards with high gold content!
However, everyone from the players to the audience has no objection to this.
The dominance Gu Xing has shown throughout the year is truly astonishing.
Looking at the history of League of Legends e-sports, it is difficult to find such a terrifying individual performance!
"At the beginning of the S7 season, I set winning the Bird's Nest Cup as my annual goal. Fortunately, the team overcame obstacles along the way and won the Summoner's Trophy," Gu Xinghuai is full of ambitions. "My next goal is
It still won’t change, and I’m still the champion of the S competition!”
"Our era has just begun!"
The noisy cheers in the stands were so loud that they seemed to overturn the dome of the theater!
After Gu Xing set the flag of "Don't lose a game and win the championship" countless times and fulfilled it perfectly, the audience had full confidence in his bold words and felt that this top jungler had some outrageous skills of being able to follow his words.
When the award ceremony came to an end, Gu Xing turned around and received another piece of news from Ding Jun.
The LPL seats offered by VGP were sold through bidding.
The buyer is none other than Gamer Nation, Prodigal Eye ROG!
"92 million, tsk tsk tsk... After the alliance, the seat fee has really skyrocketed," Ding Jun was so happy that his heart bubbling, "I will give some bonuses to the players of the second team later!"
He didn't want to treat the players badly.
Anyway, now that the club has introduced E, there is no financial pressure. Giving small players a little bonus is just a small investment.
"What about the original VGP people? How should we deal with them?" Gu Xing was very concerned.
"Lan Boqing named Zhang Xingran, Xiaotian and Xia Lu Nanfu. As for Zeng Qi, I can only arrange for him to acquire NB's FPX... which is a subsidiary of Qujia and is quite famous in the gaming industry.
of."
The fate of the VGP players seems to be pretty good. At least there are LPL games to play in, so their talents are not buried.
"Oh, by the way," Gu Xing suddenly realized that he had overlooked someone, "Where's Bai Jiahao?"
He and Bai Jiahao were not particularly familiar with each other, but the shape of Bai Jiahao's braised eggs was so eye-catching that Gu Xing was deeply impressed.
Ding Jun probably also thought of Bai Jiahao's weird head shape, and replied with a smile, "He? He can't go to the first team. In the end, he discussed with the manager of the second team and decided to stay in the secondary league and struggle."
Gu Xing was puzzled.
In terms of personal strength, Bai Jiahao is currently not as good as Zoom, who is at his peak, but his talent is visible to the naked eye. If a weak team buys him and trains him carefully, he may not be able to make a name for himself.
Before he could ask a question, he heard Ding Jun, who was extremely excited about selling his quota at a high price, turn into a talkative person and answer his questions.
"After the alliance, the first requirement put forward by the officials is to strictly control the age of the players. In the past, like Uzi, Tian Ye, Jack and Iboy, the age was blurred and they entered the game early. It will never happen again."
Gu Xing deeply expressed his gratitude to Sister Li.
The LPL alliance has made it clear that it must take the path of formalization.
In the future, not only the age of the players will be taken into consideration, but also the work types in the e-sports industry chain such as commentators will need to improve their business capabilities, striving to bring a better and orderly viewing experience to the audience from all aspects.
If some young people under the age of 17 come to play in the game, if they are reported by others, it will not only be difficult for Riot Games to explain, but also the leaders of LPL Tongwenkou.
"Bai Jiahao's birthday is in July 2001. If he wants to play, he has to wait until the latter part of the summer game in July next year." Ding Jun finally got to the point. "Weak teams have to raise him for half a year first, but if he wants to let go
If you play in the second team, you might as well stay in VG!"
Gu Xing finally understood.
"The seat released by the official was bought by Belle, but I don't know what name it should be changed to..." Ding Jun muttered in his mouth, and then he remembered the business and gave a few quick instructions.
"Xiao Gu, you should take the time to rest, you have to attend the All-Star Game in two days!"
Gu Xing didn't take it seriously, "Wouldn't it be nice to go on a trip? It was like this in Barcelona last year. The nine of us played Ming Kai as a ball..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ding Jun, "This year is different!"
"This All-Star Game has become a main event, and each division will form a representative team to compete for the championship trophy!"
After hearing this, Gu Xing immediately collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move. He looked very decadent, "Spare me! I've been spinning for a whole year, and I want to play BO5 again?!"
"Ristit, you are simply doing this for the sake of ratings regardless of the lives of players!" he complained.
It is said to be an All-Star game, but as long as the competition is 5v5 with real swords and guns, there will be no room for players to indulge in laziness.
Players who lose the game can comfort themselves that it was just an entertainment event, but the audience will never think so.
In the future, the criminal records from the All-Star Game may be used to settle old scores!
Gu Xing said goodbye to Ding Jun, opened his mobile phone to find the voting interface, and immediately voted for the jungle position to the second-place Xiangguo, trying to use his small vote to reverse the situation.
But it is destined to be a useless effort.
On the voting interface, Gu Xing topped the list with 94.36% of the votes for the jungle position!
Xiangguo didn’t even get 4% of the votes!
At first, Gu Xing was quite happy when he saw the vote rates for other positions. He once thought that the entire VG team could go to the All-Star Game.
However, taking another look at the rules, I found that Riot Games was still the same as before, restricting each team to only send two players to participate!
