Gu Xing hung up the phone and first went to the team leader Jin Wenhe who had just finished eating, "Brother, I want to ask, how can I buy tickets for LPL games?"
"Why, your family is here to see you?" Jin Wenhe walked to the training room and asked casually.
Gu Xing hesitated for a moment, "...friend."
"Before the game, the official will give some tickets to both sides, mainly reserved for relatives and friends of the players," Jin Wenhe explained to him, "but usually they can't use them all."
After all, not many e-sports players live in Shanghai, and most of their childhood connections, relatives and friends are not here.
Unless it's a particularly important game, I won't come all the way to watch it.
"Just tell me three days before next week's competition, and I will make arrangements for you then." Jin Wenhe agreed, letting Gu Xing go to training with confidence.
In the end, it's not just Ding Ran and Shen Guanshan who are coming.
The Gu family's parents said that Gu Pan was studying driving in the morning and tutoring in the afternoon. It was hard to have a summer vacation after the college entrance examination. She should relax more or less, so they simply asked her to go to Shanghai with her classmates and friends.
Gu Xing had no idea. His sister had come and he had to welcome her. Fortunately, he had a day off after fighting the snake team.
During this period, he trained extremely hard, spending up to 15 hours in the training room every day.
Basically those who arrive are the earliest and the ones who leave are the last.
Anyway, before Ding Ran arrived at the base, he had a single room, so he didn't have to worry about roommates. He went back to practice late and took a shower and lay down to sleep.
Gu Xing wants to show his best in front of his friends and family.
After all, it was their first time to watch their own game, so it wouldn't be very embarrassing if they lost.
And recently, online public opinion is also building momentum for the duel between VG and the Snakes.
Gu Xing once claimed in an interview that he learned his counter-jungling skills from Sofm. Now the two junglers have used their strength to secure their positions in their respective teams, and both have shown good strength.
It is precisely because of this that a regular season game is given a unique atmosphere.
The audience is very much looking forward to the duel between Virtue and Sofm using their respective anti-jungle abilities to see who will be better!
Gu Xing usually reads forum posts and finds that the comments are roughly divided into two groups.
Those who support him mainly believe that Gu Xing's performance in the past two or three weeks was really good, winning consecutive MVPs, and the overall state of VG is visibly strong.
There are also many people who belittle him, and their arguments sound very cynical.
Virtue himself said that Fan Ye learned from Sofm, how could he be better than the Vietnamese bandits in this regard?
No matter which faction he belongs to, Gu Xing wants to perform better.
To earn the trust of supporters, you must also prove your abilities to others.
During this period, Hongmi paused the teaching and told Gu Xing not to be too eager for success, but to first master the skills he had mastered.
Gu Xing felt that he was progressing quite quickly. At least Coach Hongmi smiled with satisfaction when he saw him these days.
As for Imp, they really improved after playing a training match against EDG and seemed not to want to lose to Deft.
But it only lasts three minutes.
This week I made the same mistake again and started clocking in and out.
Ding Ran arrived at the VG base on Thursday night. The moment he saw Gu Xing, he hugged him.
"I've been watching games at home for the past two weeks, and the camera seems a little fatter than the real person..." Ding Ran gestured.
"It also depends on the comparison. I am much taller than my teammates, which makes me look bigger." Gu Xing said helplessly.
His height of 183cm is probably above average among his classmates.
But if compared with other people in the League of Legends e-sports circle, he is quite tall.
Hou Ye is the only one in the VG team who has a good height, but unfortunately he is too thin. Standing next to the well-proportioned Gu Xing, he even looks a little frail.
"Gu Pan and Mr. Shen won't come until the game the day after tomorrow?" Ding Ran changed the topic.
"Yes, they came one day and left the next day, and stayed one night in Shanghai."
I didn't want to stay all night.
There is no place to stay in Shanghai, and hotel prices are not cheap in her opinion.
Finally, I couldn't stand my parents' nagging anymore, so I decided to live with Shen Guanshan in Shanghai for a day.
"You train well and leave me alone..." Ding Ran patted Gu Xing on the shoulder, wanting to give his friend strength.
He also read the comments and knew that the next game against the Snakes would be crucial for Gu Xing.
…
"This is the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center. The LPL game has reached the middle stage. The battle between the two groups AB is raging and each team has entered the battle to grab points!"
Today's commentators are Miller and Remember. The two worked together in this year's mid-season tournament and have a fairly good relationship.
"Group A is now the standout, with EDG far ahead, with 7 consecutive wins in big games and 14 wins and 1 loss in small games. An extremely exaggerated record..."
"The Snakes ranked second in the group, but it is difficult to threaten EDG's dominance!"
After Miller finished talking about the points situation of Group A, remember to take over the topic and talk about Group B.
"VG still has a certain lead, but as long as there is a slight fluctuation in performance, it may be overtaken by RNG, and then WE will surpass IM and reach the third position in the group..."
The two of them roughly sorted it out before setting their sights on this game.
"Today's duel can be said to be the focus of the battle, and the most eye-catching one is the junglers of both sides, Virtue and Sofm!"
Remember to nod and say in a measured tone, "Yes, the anti-jungling tactics used by the two junglers in the summer split opened our eyes and even reshaped many viewers' perceptions of the jungle!"
"After this, not only the junglers in our LPL division are trying to change their styles, but teams in other divisions, including the LCK, are also studying this style of play!"
"But for now, there are not many professional players who can adapt to and use efficient counter-fielding tactics. Only the two of them use it best," Miller said loudly, "And when these two meet on the field today, there will definitely be a stir. A bloody storm!"
The big screen at the scene also showed the statistics of the two junglers in recent games.
Thanks to his excellent performance, which has never been killed in battle, Gu Xing's statistics are quite gorgeous, and he even crushed Sofm.
However, who is strong and who is weak will ultimately be determined by victory or defeat on the field, and just looking at the data will not be of much use.
"You think...can Gu Xing win?"
Gu Pan, who was sitting in the front row, was worried and kept mumbling, "I'll rush to the Shanghai Stock Exchange in time, but please don't stretch your hips."
"We will definitely win!" Shen Guanshan was full of confidence in Gu Xing.
She was still wearing a simple black, white and gray outfit, her hair was slightly longer than before, and she did not forget to wave the support banner that VG staff distributed to fans before the game.
Printed on it is the Q version of the makeup photo of the VG League of Legends branch.
"No, why are you so excited?" Gu Pan glanced at her suspiciously.
My friend is behaving very strangely now.
No one knows Shen Guanshan better than myself.
At least that's what Gu Pan thinks.
Shen Guanshan panicked, his fair cheeks turned slightly red, and he quickly found an excuse, "Isn't it reasonable for me to cheer up my friends?"
Fortunately, the game was about to start and the lights in the auditorium were not bright, so Gu Pan didn't notice anything unusual.
And this statement is very tenable.
"Your brother is competing up there, and Gu Pan isn't excited at all?" Shen Guanshan wanted to drag his best friend along, "Gu Xing just glanced at us two!"
The front row of the auditorium is not too far from the contestant seats on the stage, only about six or seven meters.
As long as your eyesight is good enough, you can see the expressions of the players clearly.
"Oh..." Gu Pan saw his brother glance here again, and the palm he was about to swing and hit the cheering stick suddenly lost strength, and finally just shook it lazily twice.
Ding Ran is not in the front row.
He used his special status to sneak directly into the VG backstage lounge, where he watched the game with the substitutes and coaching staff.
"The BP session has begun!"
With a crisp sound, the BanPik panel appeared on the big screen, arousing a deafening roar from the audience!
