"Congratulations to VG!" Wawa said sincerely, "After a long and fierce battle, you defeated G2 with great difficulty!"
"They are firmly in the top spot and continue to lead with a record of 3 wins and 0 losses!"
Miller sighed with emotion, "I have to say that it is really difficult to beat. G2 is indeed an opponent worthy of respect!"
Even if he is a Jagged Wolf Warrior, he cannot guarantee that if the two teams fight again, VG will definitely win.
He was deeply impressed by G2's suffocating operation in the mid-term, with the pressure gushing out and almost overflowing the screen!
Because of this, Miller actually felt a little sorry for G2.
Of course, it was impossible for him to say something in the official live broadcast room that would undermine other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige. "But there is only one winner. Although G2 is very strong, it is still slightly inferior and lost to VG. Xing Ge grabbed the key to grab the baron."
Directly reverse the situation!"
The commentary in the European division next door was even more straightforward. Drakos was very distressed and mad, "Are you going to touch Baron Nash for the gods and demons?"
"Have you never heard of the story about the dragon ruining his life?!"
"Obviously if we continue to operate normally, our chances of winning are not low!"
It is undoubtedly extremely frustrating to lose in the end after just one move.
Not only did the commentators break the defense, but the audience who came to support G2 were also unhappy and let out a disappointed sigh in the stands.
The G2 players who had just taken off their headphones heard waves of lamentation, and their faces became stiffer.
A great situation was ruined by a big dragon. Anyone who experiences it would find it difficult to endure!
Beryl and her senior Imp looked at each other and smiled sadly.
"My problem in this game is too big," Wunder said feeling guilty. "If we didn't have double summons and big moves in that wave, the bottom lane would have avoided death."
He was talking about the early battle to grab the stone beetle. His greed directly caused Thain to be completely disadvantaged in the top lane, and created a teleportation gap in the top lane. Later, Kuro's Ryze drove the Ueno brothers across the lower river with his R.
Chino's defense line went straight to Huanglong to kill the G2 duo, Wunder definitely got 1/3 of the credit!
Beryl agreed on the surface, but actually disagreed on the inside.
From last year to today, from training games to the main game, I have apologized more times than you have started World of Warcraft!
Can't you change?
After the game, I cried bitterly and expressed my deep remorse, and then I went back to my old ways after taking a nap, right?
Beryl believes that Wunder is really talented, and may even be the most talented top laner in the European competition so far.
But the problem is that there is no discipline, and the training is not hard, and all the talents are wasted.
Beryl feels that he is a player with little gaming talent. At least compared to other top players, his operation and reaction speed are not worth mentioning. He can only improve himself by studying the game and understanding it.
Of course, outstanding understanding ability is considered a talent in the eyes of some players.
It's just that every time Beryl sees his amazing teammates perform all kinds of incredible operations, he still feels envious from the bottom of his heart.
If you give me such operational talent...
Beryl was filled with melancholy, which finally turned into a helpless sigh.
When Wunder heard his teammates sighing with hatred, his face turned red, and he almost turned into Rambo and turned on the red temperature alarm.
He recalled the mistakes he had made during the game, and then looked at his teammates' devastated looks. He bit his lower lip tightly, and the look of unwillingness on his face became more intense.
"It's okay." Seeing that Beryl was not in a good mood, Ah P hurriedly came over and patted his supporter on the shoulder with a friendly smile. "It turns out that your idea before the game was correct. The jungle version of Qinggang Shadow is really not easy to use."
!”
"That's true," Beryl's expression softened slightly, "It will be much easier for us to face VG's BP next..."
At this time, the VG players had already crossed the stage with smiles on their faces to shake hands after the game. Beryl looked at his opponent's proud look and felt a little annoyed.
Keep going crazy, this is just the beginning.
Wait until the knockout round, I’ll have your juice to drink!
Gu Xing didn't have time to figure out Beryl's thoughts. He was busy chatting with his former teammates and good brothers.
"Hey," he smiled and touched Ju Shengbin's head, "Isn't this a basket?"
Seeing that the jungler is attracting hatred, Jack will not let go of this great opportunity and decisively starts to use his face to deal damage.
"Hey, I made you crazy before the game," Yu Wenbo said, "I thought you were so strong, but I didn't expect you to be 10% off?"
"Back to Qiuqiu, Lao Li is playing with Dao Girl. I think even if we really choose Dao Girl, you can't win!"
Imp waved his hand angrily, very dissatisfied with Yu Wenbo's arrogant attitude, "You will be in trouble if you win a round. If you don't know, you will think you have too many Cs on the board. If Gu hadn't grabbed a big dragon, you and
Kuro is an iron war criminal!"
One was arrested for occupying the middle lane during the transition period, causing the team to lose rhythm; the other was suppressed by Perkz from beginning to end, without even any breathing space!
Ju Shengbin speaks directly and without hiding anything.
Compared to Xiang Guo and Dai Zhichun, Imp has some emotional intelligence.
But not much.
Li Ruixing was not very satisfied with his performance in this game. When he heard this, the slight smile on his lips instantly solidified.
The wound was torn open by the opponent, and Kuro felt a dull pain in his heart for a moment.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
It's not easy for him to get angry with Gu Shengbin.
After all, what the other person said is the truth.
Qing Gangying is right - lies won't hurt, truth is the sharpest knife.
"How about we get together after MSI is over?" Gu Xing asked Ju Shengbin for his opinion.
"Sure," Imp's accent was as vague as ever, with a sly glint in his eyes, "How about we don't wait until tomorrow and get together tonight? We won't go home until we get drunk!"
Gu Xing quickly refused, "We have to go back and review the results. MSI is so intense, how can we think of going out for a dinner?"
He doesn't even have time to spend with his girlfriend. Do you, Gu Shengbin, still want to take up my time?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wait...
Gu Xing noticed something unusual.
"Pfft, you did it on purpose, right? You asked us to come out for a dinner to deceive information?"
When Gu Shengbin's intentions were exposed, he didn't feel embarrassed at all and tried to argue, "I'm not, I didn't, you're just talking nonsense!"
The two teams passed by each other, and Gu Xing and others returned to the center of the stage and bowed to the tens of thousands of spectators in the Zenith Stadium.
Even though it was a contest with the host country, there were many fans supporting VG at the scene. Now they are giving their beloved home team a huge cheer!
Some G2 supporters slowly recovered after experiencing a brief period of depression.
Even if the home team loses the game, they have to admit the excitement of this game and congratulate the winner VG with applause from the bottom of their hearts for their victory.
Gu Xing waved to the fans before retreating backstage.
Today's post-match interview on the main stage is with mid laner Kuro, but Gu Xing can't find any leisure, and is pulled over by Immortal Grip Ren Dong to become a strong man.
In front of the background board with the LPL logo printed on it, Gu Xing took the microphone from Ren Dong. As soon as he greeted the cameraman, he heard the host raising a topic.
"In today's focus game related to rankings, VG had the last laugh. How do you feel now?"
"I'm very excited," Gu Xing couldn't hide his smile. "There are many acquaintances in the G2 team, including former teammates like Pu Pu. I think it is a very happy thing to win a battle with them."
After the routine question, Ren Dong chose to go straight to the topic, "We can see that today's game lasted for a very long time, and the advantages and disadvantages changed several times during the period. In the end, it was Brother Xing who snatched a big dragon to establish the victory for the team.
, what do you think is the reason why the situation is so anxious?"
"First of all, it's because the opponent is strong enough. G2 itself is the overlord of the European division, and its strength cannot be underestimated. It will bring a lot of pressure to us..." Gu Xing knew that after this game, many fans would definitely have negative feelings about the team.
I was dissatisfied with the slow pace, so I explained in detail.
"Secondly, as I said in yesterday's interview, the team is still not very adaptable to the game environment of the mid-season. It is difficult to figure out the version overnight, and it is impossible to make a qualitative leap in just one day. We will check it one by one through review after we return.
The gap will be filled gradually. For example, the operation handling during the transfer period should be more detailed, and perhaps the mid-term rhythm will not be easily controlled by the other party."
Gu Xing's last words were directed at himself.
When Qinggang Ying was used in this game, the awkwardness was always lingering in his head. As a conductor, he was naturally to blame for the team's mid-term rhythm problems!
Gu Xing didn't feel that he had snatched the baron and brought a victory to the team. He had no problem at all in the whole game.
He couldn't wait to return to the lounge and discuss the review with Hongmi.
Ren Dong didn't want to let him go yet, and kept asking, "Tomorrow VG will compete with KT, another favorite to win the championship. The opponent also has an impressive record of undefeated victory. What does Brother Xing have to say about this?
"
Gu Xing shrugged his shoulders, "I think the winner will still be VG - before this game, G2 also won completely. Today we can give G2 their first defeat, and we don't mind breaking KT's unbeaten streak again."
.”
After saying the cruel words, Gu Xingcai saw that Ren Dong was satisfied and wanted to answer the phone.
He left the backdrop and hurried back to the lounge.
The room was relatively quiet. Hongmi was huddled in front of her laptop, watching the video and thinking hard.
A real-time post-match interview was played on the TV screen, with Kuro looking serious and stern.
Since the VG team did not have a Korean-French bilingual translator, Li Ruixing could only answer the host's questions in Chinese.
When asked to rate his performance in this game, Kuro was silent for a long time before answering, "I feel... on a ten-point scale, it would be 5 points at most."
"I'm not very satisfied with my performance so far in this mid-season tournament," Li Ruixing pursed his lips, his face becoming more and more obvious, "Including this game, if Gu Gu hadn't snatched a big dragon, the result would have been really
Hard to say."
"As the mid laner, who has a very influential position, I should stand up and share the team's worries, but unfortunately I didn't do this," he said with guilt written all over his face, "I'm sorry for the fans' long-term support."
Most domestic players should be more restrained during interviews and won't say anything to the outside world. Basically, they just talk back and forth.
Players from the LCK will pay more attention to the concept of "fans" and regard supporters as particularly important. The interviews often reveal their current situation and mentality, or are emo or in a high mood, and do not hide their inner emotions.
Kuro is a bit autistic now.
Suddenly a Chinese shout came from the stands, "Adjust well, Kuro, you have to step up!"
There were quite a few foreign students who came to watch the game. As soon as this statement came out, it sparked a flurry of discussion in the venue.
Kuro's shoulders slumped.
"...I will try my best not to disappoint everyone." He bent down and bowed before turning around and leaving the stage.
Not long after, Li Ruixing appeared in the VG lounge with heavy steps.
"Hey, how sad are you?" Jack saw that he was depressed, and he put his hands behind his head and joked, "I suspect that if you stay on stage for a few more minutes, Lao Li, you will drop your pearls!"
Before Kuro could respond, he heard his head coach say, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment. I'm going to have a small meeting."
There was no projector in the room, so Hongmi had to gather the team members behind her and put their heads together to watch the 15-inch laptop screen.
The computer is playing the video of VG vs. G2.
"Our early game handling was slightly flawed, but the opponent also made mistakes. Generally speaking, they are within the acceptable range," Hongmi explained. "Ruixing, go big and take the upper jungle to kill the G2 duo and push them away.
After the first blood tower in the bottom lane, the team's economic lead is close to 2K gold coins. To be honest, according to our previous script, the next step should be to exploit the enemy's weaknesses during the transition period, and then push all the way to win the game."
"But things went against expectations. Instead of pushing the opponent evenly, the performance in the field was blocked by G2. Most of the time, the rhythm was in the hands of the enemy..." Hongmi continued, "What's the problem?"
He asked and answered himself, pointing his finger at the position of the two side lanes on the screen, "The environment of the top and bottom lanes has changed during the lane transition period, and the corresponding ones are the mid laner and the top laner."
Gu Xing held his chin, looking thoughtful.
"Strictly speaking, everything is a chain reaction caused by the middle unit, so let's talk about the middle lane first." Hongmi pulled out the data map from the computer and presented it to everyone.
"During the playoffs, although there were occasional players taking out vampires in the mid lane, most of the time heroes such as Galio, Rockbird, and Thain dominated the mid lane. However, at MSI, all three heroes disappeared!"
"Replaced by Dao Mei, Zoe..." Hongmi turned to look at her teammates, "Have you noticed any changes?"
Gu Xing responded quickly, "What you want to say is that MSI's popular mid laner hero has declined in roaming ability compared to the spring split?"
"That's right!" Hongmi said with a snap of her fingers, "The original strong mid laner characters were able to reach the jungle area or even the sideline from the middle, and their map running speed was ridiculously fast, but now the mid laner heroes are even more powerful.
I tend to control the line, and then give teammates the advantage after holding the line."
"This is extremely detrimental to Ruixing."
Hongmi explained the reason, "The three true gods of the previous spring playoffs can achieve long-range support by relying on their ultimate moves. Normally, you only need to achieve a flat line in the middle and then you can roam. In extreme cases, you may not even need a line of soldiers."
Go help your teammates!"
"But now with heroes like Dao Mei and Zoe, you have to get lane rights before you are qualified to leave the lane and roam!"
In other words, originally the mid laner only needed to smell the opportunity to roam and then leave the lane on his own, making it difficult for the opponent to stop him; now you have to defeat the opponent and suppress the enemy before you have the opportunity to provide offline support.
Hongmi hit the nail on the head, "The problem lies in Yi Ruixing's current state, which is simply not enough to support him in grabbing line rights!"
We are all a family, and when we discuss behind closed doors, Kuro will not be angry, but will admit his shortcomings frankly, "It is true, not only during the laning period, but also during the transition period. If you don't have the right to laning, you will always be defeated by the opponent."
The pressure and beating make me feel so uncomfortable that I will die!"
Li Ruixing is not known for his laning ability, and his main focus is roaming.
As a result, the fist comes down, forcing you to fight in the lane. It's surprising that Kuro can adapt!
Not to mention that he also has problems with his own proficiency in the strong mid laner. Dao Mei is a pure zombie, Zoe can barely handle it, and is not considered proficient.
The remaining bastards Grasshopper and Kalma are a bit like the Big Three in the playoffs. As long as their equipment doesn't drop too much and comes with flat line buffs, they are relatively suitable for Li Ruixing. However, G2 is very smart and imitates Flash Wolf and directly bans them.
Don’t give VG a chance to choose!
In the end, Kuro could only play Renaissance with a nearly chipped Ryze, and was pushed to the ground and beaten violently!
Once there is no line right, the current version is double continuous invisibility from the laning period to the laning period!
If you can play core, you can work hard all the way until the equipment is ready, but Kuro is not proficient in magic core!
It is conceivable that he will naturally fall into a dilemma!
Kuro had a sudden enlightenment.
Previously, he simply thought it was a matter of hero proficiency. If he could train Sword Girl, the team's rhythm difficulty would be solved.
After Hongmi explained it, Li Ruixing understood the truth about the version environment!
"But one thing to say, even if I understand why Ruixing is struggling so much at MSI, I haven't come up with a practical and effective response plan," Hongmi said with a look of embarrassment.
You can't do anything. The original hot roaming mid laner has been reduced to too low a strength and can't even play..."
Kuro nodded to indicate that he understood what Hongmi meant.
He is now a 24-year-old man. It would be too late for him to think about transformation, and his own talent does not support this.
The only possibility that can bring you back to the top is to go all the way to the dark side and keep racing on this road!
But as Hongmi said, heroes suitable for his playing style have been eliminated. Where can he find substitutes?
Kuro was thinking hard.
After Hongmi finished talking about the mid laner, he continued, "The next thing I want to talk about is the top laner. The version environment of this lane cannot be seen to change through patches alone, and the degree of changes is relatively low. But if we still follow the playoffs
If you play with that style of play, you will definitely suffer a heavy blow!"
"The root cause is that the tactical status of the top laner is generally very low. He is just a pick-up man, responsible for the next task of transferring the mid-range unit."
When Gu Xing heard Hou Ye's translation, he looked at his former teammates with a surprised expression.
What kind of words are these? The taker has come out?
The Marquis pushed up his glasses with his middle finger, his expression calm as he hid his merit and fame.
Hongmi couldn't understand what Li Zhixun was translating, and kept talking, "Previously, the mid laners Sion, Rock Bird and Galio all provided the means to start a team or enter the field second-hand to keep up with the control chain.
"
"But after the environment changes in the middle lane, except for special characters like Grasshopper, none of them have the above abilities."
Hongmi spoke quickly, "When we played RNG in the spring finals, we mentioned that the real power is to force the system to open up. So since I can't control the middle lane, who can help me fill in the missing control chain?"
“Let’s place an order!”
Song Jinghao suddenly realized that, like Gu Xing, he was also feeling very uncomfortable in this game. He was wondering why his playing style felt so awkward even though his style of play had clearly not changed from before.
Hongmi’s statement gave him a complete epiphany!
"I judge that characters like captains will not be outstanding in this mid-season tournament," Hongmi expressed his opinion, "again, due to the lack of vision in the current version, you cannot wear the line with you.
The team-fighting effect is not as good as that of a tank-type control tool, so it is reasonable to select it and use it with poor results."
“Another influencing factor is the [Flag of Command],” Hongmi explained. “When we were in the spring finals, we mentioned that the Banner of Command is a very powerful prop in the current environment, and it can help tank heroes without any damage.
The burden is to play the single-belt role.”
"In every game, it is best for someone in the team to give the flag of command, otherwise the pressure on the side lines will be too great and it will be difficult for the defender to take care of the beginning and the end."
Hongmi talked eloquently, "Originally, the main task of setting the flag was the mid laner. I played Thain's main E in the middle to clear the lane, freeing myself to roam."
"But now that the gameplay of mid laner Sion has been weakened and he is forced to move to the top lane, then the top laner will naturally make the Banner of Command!" He said firmly, "Sion, Ornn, Big Tree and other tank characters, rely on
Under the banner of command, we will usher in our strong period on the field!"
Gu Xing understood clearly, "So, MSI's version environment is the mid-lane hero/magic core and the top-lane tank tool man?"
"That's right," Hongmi nodded fiercely, "Affected by the middle and upper roads, the jungle environment will also undergo certain changes."
"Qinggangying can no longer use it."
Gu Xing followed the logic of his head coach and reasoned, "It's because Camille's main attack direction is the upper half, but now she starts to choose tanks on the top lane, so it's useless to help?"
Hongmi agreed with Gu Xing's view and added two more words, "Also, if you originally picked Qinggang Ying, you would go to Rui Xing to attack two waves of troops in the mid-term. Before, he was in trouble when he played a wandering mid laner.
Stomach, those heroes are generally not very economical, so Qinggangying can raise a C, but now the roaming mid laner has been cut, such as Zoe, Ryze and other characters, they all need economic development, there is no
I’ll give you the money again!”
Camille's mechanism is destined to have a great demand for her economy.
And the speed of clearing the jungle is not very fast. Sometimes, many wild monsters are sacrificed for gank raids, resulting in equipment being unable to keep up in the mid-term.
Playing along with the mid laner is Gu Xing's usual tactic.
But in the last game, he never used it once, precisely because Kuro chose Ryze!
At this point, Hongmi has dismantled the version step by step and instilled all its analysis and understanding into the players.
Everyone was filled with emotion. They felt that this guy was really outrageous in seeing through the competition environment in such a short period of time. He deserved the maximum salary as a coach!
"Now if we look back at G2's BP strategy, can we see that they have a lineup that is completely in line with the version environment?" Hongmi pointed at the screen with his finger, "Top laner Thain - issued the flag of command.
The tank tool man, the mid laner Zoe - a strong lane role, and the bottom lane Kai'Sa to ensure the late game..."
VG members take a look at their lineup.
It stinks like hell!
Choose a Captain in the top lane, a Steel Shadow in the jungle, and Ryze in the mid lane. Why are there three reverse version heroes to go head-to-head with G2?
It's normal to not be able to defeat him. If it weren't for Gu Xing grabbing the dragon, it would be damned if he could win!
"It can only be said that the G2 coaching staff has something," Hongmi exclaimed. "The sense of smell of the game environment is more sensitive than ours, and they can see through the truth of the version first. I reasonably suspect that the opponent released Qinggangying to lure us into being fooled!
"
The European division's coaching staff and analysts have always been a strong point, and they are always one step ahead in understanding the version.
After listening to the head coach's long speech, Gu Xing suddenly felt enlightened, "The overall tone of the mid-season game was that the bottom lane was the core, and the main goal was to help Jack..."
Yu Wenbo, who had been keeping quiet before, straightened his back and said, "Don't worry, I can definitely rely on you, brother!"
"When you say this, don't you think of all kinds of famous scenes of sudden death?" Duan Deliang complained.
"In the past year and a half, we have had very few games with the bottom lane as the core," Hongmi told the truth. "To be honest, the competition environment in this mid-season tournament has undoubtedly severely weakened VG."
Only in the group stage of the S7 World Championship, VG briefly played in the lower half system.
At that time, the team's morale was at full strength, and since there were relatively few strong teams in the group, the team was able to advance to the knockout round by making great progress.
When the quarterfinals began, the top lane environment changed dramatically. Narcissus Kenan made his debut, and VG returned to the familiar rhythm of the top half. Only then could they break the historical record and win the championship with a complete victory!
However, if nothing goes wrong in this mid-season, the lower half will always be the tactical focus.
It is indeed a serious challenge to VG!
"But it doesn't matter if you don't get used to it," Hongmi imitated Gu Xinglai and used the bear's hand trick. "Years of competition experience are there. The corpses of teams that dare to go against the version are hanging on the twisted neck trees in Meishan!"
Gu Xing was going to his seat to think up a strategy to help.
When he turned around, he saw Kuro standing in front of him with his eyes blank.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xing was startled.
Kuro seemed to be out of his body and murmured in an extremely weak voice, "I seem to have come up with a replacement for the roaming mid laner..."
"Ah?!" Hongmi was so surprised that she stood up and said, "Hurry up!"
After Li Ruixing said the name of the hero, after a brief silence in the VG lounge, the whole hall suddenly burst into cheers!
"Niu Niu Niu," Gu Xing praised enthusiastically, "Rui Xing, with your adaptability, you can change your career and become a coach after you retire!"
"Sure, Rui Xing!" Hongmi shook Kuro's shoulders desperately, her excitement palpable, "You can go back and practice tonight, and we will have one more trump card when we wait for the knockout rounds!"
After receiving praise from his teammates and coaches, Kuro's pale face instantly turned rosy, and even his voice became full of energy.
"Brother, this hero still needs to practice? Just take it out and you can C!" He waved his palm vigorously, and his voice contained endless confidence.
At this moment, Kuro finally lost his previous depressed appearance and seemed to be ushering in a new life!
