Gu Xing boarded the bus, put his backpack on his lap when he entered the back seat, then took out the Bluetooth headset from the side pocket and put it into his ears, playing "The Longest Movie".
The whole movement was done in one go, looking extremely skillful.
Listening to Jay Chou frying memories into cakes in his ears, Gu Xing relaxed and wanted to chat with his teammates before the bus arrived at the venue.
As a result, I turned around and saw that Kuro's palms were shaking and he looked quite nervous.
"No," Song Jinghao also noticed that his teammates' expressions were wrong, and immediately laughed, "How many times have you played in the finals, and you still get nervous?"
Kuro swallowed his saliva, "Brother Moe, work harder today and strive for a quick victory. Don't delay..."
He also followed the LCK finals.
The chef battle in the BO5 final game deeply touched Li Ruixing's heart.
Xuanming and Xuanming are his closest relatives and friends. They were both born in 1994. In Korean terms, they are called relatives, and their relationship is closer than that of the other members of the Tigers.
As a result, he was tortured to death by KT right in front of his eyes!
Of course, KT didn't have a hard time either. The Korean team Score was confused for most of the game. If it hadn't been for Baron's punishment and atonement in the end, there's no telling who would have won.
The poor performance of the old men in the high-pressure decider frightened Kuro, who had already suspected that his condition was declining due to age.
If it takes too long, I won't really become like this, right?
"It's okay," Gu Xing comforted him carelessly, "We are well prepared today, and we will have everything we need to win against RNG!"
Li Ruixing had great trust in his jungler, and his face became a little brighter when he heard this.
Jack also changed the subject, "Look, there are a lot of old customers over there!"
It has to be said that Tencent has spent a lot of money this year. On the way to the Rubik's Cube Performing Arts Center, various promotional materials for the LPL Spring Games can be seen everywhere.
All the billboards were taken down and posters for the finals were posted.
Among them, Gu Xing’s content alone accounts for half of the total!
Following Jack's hand, Gu Xing in the picture is standing with his back, only the word 'Virtue' on the back collar of the team uniform is exposed. The interweaving of light and shadow adds a sense of mystery to him.
Relying on his popularity in the past two years, he has already achieved the success of being popular in the industry. Now he does not need to rely on his face, just showing his ID can still have a publicity effect.
"Guigui, Gu Xing is so handsome in this photo..." Kuro's attention was indeed attracted, and he subconsciously praised Gu Xing.
He has a tall and straight body, and although his back is thin, he is not skeletal. He is definitely considered to be in good shape in the e-sports circle.
"It's not bad," Smeb pouted, "We're not bad either!"
"The Que family is not bad," Li Ruixing said with a teasing smile, "It's just that the number of fans is underwhelming."
There are human-shaped plaques of the finalists on the square outside the stadium. Many fans who arrived early had nothing to do and went to find their favorite players to set up plaques and take photos as souvenirs.
To be fair, there are not many supporters next to Song Jinghao's standing card - after all, he is currently VG's second most popular player. The team originally focuses on the upper half, and Smeb is very strong, and he can often carry the game after getting resources.
, coupled with two famous scenes and good appearance conditions, it will naturally accumulate a considerable number of fans.
But compared with Gu Xing, it pales in comparison.
The area around Gu Xing’s sign in the square was surrounded by people!
If it weren't for sitting on the bus and looking down, VG players probably wouldn't be able to see Gu Xing's waiting sign!
Song Jinghao was choked by Kuro, and unable to refute, he could only mutter in a low voice, seeking to comfort himself.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
Not only Smeb, but also VG Nakano’s phone vibrated twice.
"What's going on?" Gu Xing was confused.
After unlocking the phone, what comes into view is a text message.
【Final Fighting! You must help me take revenge!】
The sender is Little Peanut.
"Did you also receive a message from Wanghu?" Gu Xing asked his teammates.
Song Jinghao nodded, came over to compare the contents of the text messages, and immediately became furious, "Ah, Han Wanghu actually sent a group message?"
"I took him to play games for a year, and this brat is just perfunctory with his big brother?"
Kuro, on the other hand, did not care about the issue of mass text messages. He received another cheer from Xuan Ming.
[Come on! Only you and Jing Hao have the ability to go to MSI this year. You must seize the opportunity and continue with the hope of ROX]
The relationship between the players is amazing.
Some players have spent most of their careers on the same team without developing any close feelings for each other, and some have even turned against each other.
ROX members are different.
Although they only fought side by side for two years, they may have known each other at a young age and slowly rose from the trough of their careers step by step. Although they did not win the Summoner's Trophy together, the relationship between the players became deeper.
Li Ruixing's heart surged as he looked at the message from a close relative of the same year.
[Don’t worry, wait and see Jing Hao and I perform today!]
As soon as the VG training department bus stopped in front of the venue, a group of sharp-eyed supporters rushed towards it.
"Brother Xing must win. I'll give you a good loan at Kangba and open the champagne in advance!"
"I even bought the MSI tickets, VG rushes and that's it!"
"Can you surpass EDG's league championship record? Brother Xing, please remember to do what you say!"
Gu Xing walked quickly to the backstage with his bag on his back under the cover of the staff. When he heard the last question from the fans, he waved his fist in response, "Today!"
He filled the cup and ran away, ignoring the sudden screams behind him, and got into the passage to sign in.
By the time a set of tedious preparations were completed, it was already approaching four in the afternoon.
Before taking the field, Hongmi did not forget to remind the players, "Everyone must remember what we have practiced these days..."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," he stared at Li Ruixing, "as long as you do your job well, you can win the game."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kuro took a deep breath and nodded heavily to indicate that he understood clearly.
Gu Xing summoned his teammates, and everyone formed a circle and stacked their palms on top of each other.
"We are the same team this year," he said in a humorous tone, trying to ease the team atmosphere, "so this final is very important."
His teammates all looked at him with puzzled looks, trying not to understand the logic of Gu Xing's words.
"If you don't win the Spring Crown, the champion skin will not be easy to sell!" Gu Xing laughed.
The rest of the VG training department didn't hold back either, and laughter continued in the lounge.
As usual, the champion skin is released at the turn of spring and summer every year.
Whether the team can achieve good results during this period is often an important factor in determining skin sales, especially when the original championship team remains unchanged.
Without results, there is no exposure. How can you sell champion skins?
"So we have to work harder," Gu Xing encouraged, "break into MSI and sell more skins!"
25% of the skin income must be distributed to the players, which is equivalent to working for yourself.
Smeb's eyes immediately lit up when he thought of this.
Duan Deliang gritted his teeth, "The fist is really disgusting, the S6 champion skin money has not been paid yet!"
"Ah?" Song Jinghao was stunned, "Is the work efficiency so low?"
"What do you think?" Gu Xing sneered, "After all, you are taking money out of your pocket, so of course you can drag it out as long as you can."
As a few people made jokes, the atmosphere in the lounge became lively.
"Three, two, one..." They pressed down their stacked palms and shouted in unison, "VG will win!"
Members of the competition training department filed out and walked along the backstage passage to the main stage, rushing to this BO5 that carries countless meanings.
The Rubik's Cube Performing Arts Center was overcrowded, and tens of thousands of spectators were also shouting the countdown.
As the numbers on the big screen gradually returned to zero, the volume they produced also gradually increased.
When the fist logo appeared, the shouts in the stands from all directions gathered in an instant, forming a huge wave of sound that could not be dissipated in the stadium!
All the spotlights on the dome were turned off, and the entire venue was pitch black.
Suddenly, a melodious flute sound came.
The stage lights were turned on, reflecting several band musicians holding classical instruments in the center.
The title of the song was displayed on the big screen.
"Open Heaven".
The moment the sound of the flute faded away, the guzheng and pipa came one after another.
Together with other Chinese-style musical instruments, the majestic and vast atmosphere created together is transmitted to the ears of every audience through the sound effects!
There was endless praise in the live broadcast room.
[Guigui, there is a good Ting]
[Have you started fist music again? Just use your feet for balance and make music with your heart, right?]
[The LPL is so big now, can it still create original songs?]
[Everyone started to listen to the songs and recognize the songs, and I was counting on them to sing on a loop during the show]
This can be regarded as a major change after the LPL alliance this year.
After collecting seat fees from 14 teams, the LPL has transformed and become the leading top league in China with a bulging wallet!
With abundant funds, they can do whatever they want.
For example, this time's "Open Sky" was a music production contracted by Shiquan employee LKS. It cost a lot of money to make it well-made.
After the last syllable disappeared from the audience's ears, the dome spotlight turned on again, focusing on the host Ren Dong.
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2018 League of Legends Professional League Spring Finals. This is Chengdu, Sichuan!" said Immortal Grip with a loud voice.
"After two and a half months of fierce fighting, only two of the 14 teams remain, and today, they will start the final battle for the Silver Dragon Cup!"
He waved his hand, "Let us invite the team to appear!"
"First of all, it's the 2016 LPL Spring Split champion, Royal Never Give up!" Ren Dong said in a dignified voice, "Top laner Letme, jungler Mlxg, mid laner Xiaohu, bottom laner Uzi and support Ming, as well as coach Heart and substitute Zz1tai!"
Many royal fans gathered at the scene, and when they saw their team entering the stadium, they even shouted excitedly.
Especially Uzi received the warmest welcome.
This spring, he returned from a truce and was in great form. Relying on the skillful operation of Kai'Sa and other heroes, he attracted a large number of fans and is now at the peak of his popularity.
Uzi enjoys the admiration for him from the audience. He has a very genuine smile on his fat face. With two beards, he can cosplay Tammu.
But then, he realized what it meant to be a popular king.
"The next team to appear is the three-time LPL champion," Ren Dong tried his best to draw out his voice, "Vici Gaming!"
The venue was crowded with people, and the dancers standing on the stage felt the ground shaking, and their ears were filled with the deafening carnival sound created by tens of thousands of spectators!
"Top laner Smeb, jungler Virtue..." Ren Dong stopped his introduction in a knowledgeable way, leaving enough time for the audience to welcome him.
When Gu Xing, who was all smiles, appeared in the camera, the cheers filled the sky to a higher level!
"Mid laner Kuro, bottom laner Jackeylove and assistant Caveman, and head coach Homme!"
When the introduction of the Grasp of Immortality was completed, players from both teams gathered on the stage.
"Shu Dao competes for supremacy, a showdown!" Ren Dong became emotional and further increased his volume, "I wonder who can win the Silver Dragon Cup. Let's look forward to this exciting competition to come!"
The light around the stage was extinguished again, leaving only the central floor lamp illuminating the shining silver dragon cup placed on the high platform.
The big screen faded out, and the much-anticipated pre-match trash talk was immediately played.
"The summer semi-finals a year and a half ago was the first time I lost to VG in the playoffs. Countless duels since then ended in my defeat," Xiang Guo sat on the chair with an extremely determined expression.
But I still believe the result will be different this time.”
Gu Xing in the picture shrugged, "I don't know how many times I've heard Xiangguo say this, but he can't change it? If his strength could be as tough as his mouth, he probably wouldn't have to be a prisoner of VG.
"
"Now I have forgotten how many times I defeated Xiangguo..." Gu Xing lazily retorted, "You won't really beat him into Meng Huo, right?"
There was endless laughter in the stands on all sides.
Liu Shiyu was so choked by Gu Xing that he couldn't even speak.
He was too stupid with his small mouth, and was unable to use his best talent in Tibetan in public, so Xiang Guo was no match for Gu Xing.
Good brother Li Yuanhao came to the rescue and said with a smile in a male duck voice, "The nickname of Kuro opposite is Han Hu. Just think about it and you will know that the inspiration came from me."
"In today's final, I want to show my opponent that pirated copies can never beat the genuine ones!"
This sentence is quite offensive, and the smell of gunpowder comes up immediately after being scratched.
But Kuro didn't take it seriously. Instead, he tapped Gu Xing with his thumb, "It's useless to defeat me by closing the account... Do you dare to go against him?"
Xiaohu was so amused by Li Ruixing's funny appearance that the director cut the screen while laughing.
Song Jinghao looked arrogant, "I think RNG's two top laners are no match for me even if they play together...Do you still remember Huni who beat you so hard? He is my loser!"
After thinking about the posture for a long time, I finally came up with a counterattack, "If you have the ability to defeat someone in the finals, let's go on the road and have a 1v1 men's battle. I will never lose to you!"
The camera cut to Shi Senming, and we saw that this kid was smiling with a harmless expression.
The director quickly urged Xiao Ming to speak harshly.
Shi Senming scratched his head in embarrassment. He and Liu Shiyu encountered the same problem.
If allowed to speak Tibetan, he could describe Wenbo for three days and three nights without repeating it!
It's a pity that I can't tell.
In the end, Shi Senming had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I want to say something to Jack and Brother Xing... Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong who were in the group before have been sent away by me, and it will be your turn next!"
The barrage was passing by like running water at this moment.
【What group?】
[I also have the Nick Young question mark emoticon on my face. Did I miss any important information before? 】
[The Seven Wolves of Ionia are a group of high-scoring passers-by in S6 Electric 1. It is said that Brother Xing met Jack there]
[Hey, how many world champions can be born from a small group chat? 】
[This is what Ionia in S6 is like, all young geniuses]
[I think from now on, who will dare to say that the S6 national server has no gold content? Show off, I’m going to show off like crazy!]
"Oh, by the way," Shi Senming had an idea, "I also want to give Jack a message. We played a lot in double row back then. If you lift your butt, I will know what you are farting. You can wait for the finals. I have to
I’m going to pinch you to death!”
Duan Deliang said calmly, "This sentence also applies to Uzi... Uzi needs to be more careful this time. It is impossible to evade my control by moving around!"
Uzi refuted dissatisfiedly, "I suggest that Xiao Duan should worry about his own shooter first. This is the first LPL final in my six-year career, and I will definitely show my strongest strength!"
Yu Wenbo dismissed it and raised his chin slightly, "I was already the global finals champion at the age of 17. What about you?"
In fact, he was still a few days shy of turning 17 when he won the championship. Jack changed it slightly to avoid being exploited for his age loophole.
But the effect is outstanding.
Uzi's face was red, and he saw the temperature rising sharply. He hesitated for a long time before replying, "Being a former champion cannot prove your current strength. I must teach VG a lesson in the bottom lane in this finals!"
Gu Xing appeared again, and his main line was, "Do you still need to study when playing RNG in the finals?"
"The factory director gave me a great tip. When I opened it before the game, there were only four big words on it - Catch Level 2!"
This time Uzi was completely red, comparable to Rambo going into overheating.
There was endless laughter at the scene, and the chat channel was scrolling rapidly.
[Bold! Steal my cruel work from Gui Jia Qi, right?]
[Zhuge Mingkai’s clever plan to settle the world!]
[As expected of you, Gui Jiao Qi’s captive Uzi has always been able to do it]
[Okay, okay, the quality of trash talk this year is good, but you have to make the opponent a bad person to produce famous jokes, otherwise the dialogue will be too gentle and not even aggressive at all]
[The smell of gunpowder is coming, the finals won’t look good until later, otherwise, why don’t we just let the kids play house here? 】
Overall, VG is far superior in terms of trash talk.
This is very good, Sister Li.
RNG has only entered the finals twice in its history, and the players have too little experience in trash talking.
In comparison, VG’s average per capita is fritters!
Even the young Jack has reached more finals than Uzi!
They can understand the trash-talking phase, and have a good grasp of relaxation and relaxation, so the results will naturally lead to their opponents.
The camera moves to the on-site commentary booth.
After Wawa finished reading the sponsor's advertisement according to the script, he turned his attention to his partner.
Miller has worked with him for many years and has a good understanding of each other, so he immediately picked up the topic.
"Let's take a look at the data performance of the two teams before the game..."
"VG's average game duration is shorter and the blood level is better. The economic experience lead rate in the first 15 minutes is among the top three in the league. Generally speaking, it relies heavily on early players to initiate the offensive rhythm," Miller said.
, "RNG's performance throughout the playoffs is that of a standard mid-to-late game team. Their team's winning rate is extremely high, and the time to end the game is more than 36 minutes."
"This should be inseparable from the selection of the lineup. RNG now believes in Uzi's strength. This top star has also proven with facts that he is worthy of the team's resource allocation!"
Miller's words were full of praise, "Whether it's average kills per game or average points output, Uzi is the best in this playoffs!"
I remember adding, "Based on data analysis alone, VG is a team that prefers to attack in the upper half. With the tacit linkage of the top, middle and jungler, they can often establish a huge advantage in the early and mid-term of the game, and then use powerful transitions.
Line operations and field of view control, expand your advantages bit by bit, and win the entire game."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Looking back at RNG, Xiangguo has changed its tactical focus this year, slowly investing its energy in the lower half, hoping that Uzi will stand out and finish after quickly forming equipment.
Contest!"
I remember that he spoke eloquently for a long time, "Of course, this is all based on the analysis of the performance of the two teams in the previous playoffs based on data. I think it has certain reference value, but it may not be completely correct. It depends on how both sides will play in the game.
What kind of adjustments were made during the week beforehand!”
"Without further ado, the final BP has already begun!"
Miller raised his voice, "In this final, RNG won the priority to choose sides by betting coins. In the first game, they got the blue side for themselves, and they sent Yanjai to the ban position first!"
Hongmi's backhand sent Letme's signature Ornn to the ban position first.
Heart responded by banning the old driver Thain.
"There is no problem. This was Kuro's most outstanding role in the semi-finals. He used the flag of command superbly!" I remember his tone was calm.
Redmi is not surprised either.
He then blocked Uzi's Kai'Sa, immediately winning a burst of cheers from the VG fans at the scene.
The body of the iron-headed monster Nofe has not yet cooled down, and the VCs don’t want to see Kai’Sa taken down by RNG again.
Heart was given to Ryze in the last ban of the first round.
"All three banned positions are given to Kuro. The royal family attaches great importance to the middle lane today!" Wawa exclaimed.
After Redmi banned Braum, RNG chose Qinggang Shadow.
"This is a bit of a substitute for ban. After all, Brother Xing and Maibo are both excellent users of Camille..."
Miller looked at the hero selection box on the other side, "VG took out Xia Luo, there is no problem, the Phoenix Legend is still strong and usable!"
Heart came up with a combination of Vampire and Verus, trying to make their Double C game comfortable.
"VG showed off mid laner Galio again. It seems that they want to seize the point where RNG vampires are not strong in suppressing power and get the roaming mid laner who is weak in the early stage of the current version!"
In the second round of BP, the royal family focused on the jungle and banned Gu Xing's trolls and Olaf.
Red Rice blocked Zhu Mei and Shen, and the jungler and top laner were both affected by the rain and dew.
Just because he is still not sure which path the opponent's Qinggang Shadow will take - the only thing Letme can do well is Camille, and his proficiency is not low.
"The fourth choice on the red side, VG decided to give Brother Xing a hero first...Prince?!" Watanabe hissed, "Although the current hero's strength is average after the armor is weakened, it still has a miraculous effect when paired with mid laner Galio.
!”
Heart finally decided to give Qinggang Shadow to Yan Junze to use, and successively selected Beerman to assist Tahm Kench and jungler.
"VG locked Gnar immediately!"
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue Square RNG: top laner Qinggangying, jungler Barrel, mid laner Vampire, bottom laner Verus Tahm.
Red side VG: top laner Gnar, jungler Prince, mid laner Galio, and bottom lane Xialuo combination.
The two coaches walked to the center of the stage and shook hands. After the camera slowly zoomed out, Summoner's Rift was ushered in!
