The moment the EDG base crystal exploded and shattered, the spotlight on the dome of the Performing Arts Center kept flashing!
The vertical screen on the side also displays the VG club icon, and the word "victory" below is bright and eye-catching!
"Congratulations to VG," Wataba shouted loudly, "in this focused battle, they defeated EDG 2-0!"
Miller echoed with a loud and powerful voice, "They have won 7 consecutive games and currently lead Group B with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss... Not only that, VG also made EDG's winning streak stay at the number 10!"
The first round of intra-group round robin + inter-group competition, a total of 11 major games.
EDG previously defeated 10 opponents including RNG and WE, but finally fell to VG!
This disappointed many EDG supporters in the venue.
But this did not affect the thunderous applause from the audience.
Because the small number of VG fans are doing their best to create a huge wave of cheers for the five players!
Gu Xing took off his headphones and heard deafening cheers from the audience.
He knew before the game that there were not many VG supporters coming to watch the game today, but he did not expect to receive such a large-scale celebration.
The sudden surprise made Gu Xing smile happily.
Xiao Duan next to him was very excited, "Did you see? We have more and more fans!"
Brother Long swept across the audience, his eyes rested on the supporters waving VG cheering tokens, and he couldn't help laughing.
He and Xiao Duan were really not very popular before.
In terms of performance and strength on the field, the two are considered the best among Chinese players in the same position.
He has a kind personality, is diligent and strives to make progress.
But there are just no fans.
When most netizens think of these two, their first reaction is that they are pretty good e-sports players.
Then?
There is no more.
There are no black spots in my career, but there is no sense of existence either.
It is simply unrealistic for a blue-collar top player and a support player to achieve any famous scene.
In addition, the performance of VG's League of Legends division is tepid, no one cares about the mid-range teams, and the marketing is really good, and the popularity is concentrated on the Korean players.
This has resulted in very low discussion among the team members on major forums.
It's different now.
As VG's performance becomes more and more impressive, the number of netizens paying attention to the team has also increased.
Now seeing so many supporters at the scene, Brother Long and Xiao Duan couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
"I have said before that one day everyone in the league will look up to us." Gu Xing was very confident...
In fact, before starting his career, he did not expect that he would reach this point.
Originally, I just wanted to spend a summer playing in the secondary leagues or even youth training to earn some extra money and experience life at the same time.
Who would have thought that with just one summer job, he would not only be a regular starter in the LPL, but would even help VG win 7 consecutive victories and secure the top spot in the league!
When Gu Xing thought of this, he couldn't help but look back.
The director's camera passed by the VG players' bench and switched to the EDG players.
The factory director habitually looked at the post-match data.
And then close the interface without changing the color, pick up the paper cup and drink the ice water inside.
Without the obstruction of sound-isolating headphones, he could hear Miller talking on the commentary table.
"For EDG, this defeat exposed a lot of loopholes... If they want to go further this summer, they have to solve all these problems!"
EDG in the spring split is already the runner-up in the league.
However, this result cannot satisfy the players and coaching staff.
Since joining the LPL in the spring of 2014, the league has produced a total of 5 champions.
EDG won three of them.
It can be said that runner-up is a failure for them!
This summer, the team brought in a junior to replace General Pawn, who was suffering from a serious injury. Currently, his integration with the team is getting better and better. He has won consecutive victories and defeated RNG, who defeated him in the spring split.
Seeing that the situation is very good, there are still people in the team who are looking forward to winning the summer split and winning the championship.
As a result, they were stopped by VG who suddenly exerted their strength, and a set of unreasonable bastard punches sent them away happily at 2-0!
This game was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the EDG players' impetuous thoughts.
Deft stood up while chewing gum, his mind in a state of confusion.
He was still thinking about the last wave of team battles.
Before the game, he vowed that he could definitely carry the team with his late-game core output, but the Leopard Girl with luxurious equipment on the opposite side simply slapped him in the face!
Nidalee is totally unreasonable!
But Deft felt that he was already doing his best and there was nothing he could do.
In the chaotic team battle, Leopard Girl flashed over and QE, which caught people off guard.
If he only relies on his reaction to operate, he will definitely have to deal with Death Flash!
The VG players had already crossed the stage and rushed over. Seeing the smile on Gu Xing's face, Deft couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness in his heart.
The pressure put on him by the leopard girl on the other side was indeed too great, and he would be killed instantly if he was not careful.
Thinking of this, a feeling of powerlessness came to my mind.
Deft quickly shifted his attention and reached out to shake hands with the other party.
"Imp is very happy today," Wawa said through the director's camera and saw that Gu Shengbin was smiling broadly. "In the past competition between the two Samsung ADCs, Imp won in the end!"
The two hugged each other and murmured words of comfort or encouragement in Korean.
They brought competition and friendship from OGN to LPL, and their relationship is naturally extremely deep.
This scene is very similar to the handshake scene after the white team defeated the blue team in the S4 Global Finals.
Naturally, the cameraman would not miss it and captured it decisively.
Mr. Hou is also communicating with Scout.
"???(Oops), we Ruchan are going to be successful..." Easyhoon smiled warmly and reached out to touch the other person's head.
Last year, I was the mascot of SKT because I was a junior. He had a soft personality and was very popular with everyone.
During the mid-season transfer period, Scout finally made up his mind.
Like Hou Ye, he can't see a future in SKT.
Because there is a mountain of Faker above my head.
Now any mid laner of his generation would have to surrender to Lee Sang Hyuk.
Faker's slump in S4 is only temporary. In the past two years, his performance has become more and more powerful. From a sharp operator to an all-around mid laner who can line up and roam, his technical and tactical skills have reached an advanced level.
During last year's global finals, my younger brother witnessed Hou Ye's lonely exit. At that time, he knew that he could never replace Faker.
He can't even compete with Lee Sang Hyuk for the starting rotation like Easyhoon at its peak.
In 1998, he wanted to play, so the only option was to leave the team.
However, as a junior, I don’t plan to go to a Korean team other than SKT. It would be a bit embarrassing to meet my old club in the league like that.
It just so happened that due to Fat General's injury problem, EDG was forced to find a new mid laner, so they offered him an olive branch.
Junior high school students simply followed the example of Mr. Hou and went to LPL to make a career.
"Hey, brother Zhixun, please don't touch my head, my hair will be messed up..." Scout shook his head dissatisfied and shook the Hou Ye's hand away.
Easyhoon retracted his palm, his smile still gentle, "You have to work hard next time!"
The junior student understood the meaning of Mr. Hou's words and nodded solemnly in agreement, "I will definitely do it."
Gu Xing once went to EDG for a trial training. He had a good relationship with all the players, and he did not forget to say a few words when shaking hands.
When it was the factory director's turn, Gu Xing took the initiative and asked with a smile, "Brother Mingkai, my performance in these two games is okay?"
"That's really cool..." Seeing him approaching, Clearlove remembered how the opponent countered her F4 time and time again, and immediately responded angrily, "When you wait until the playoffs, you'll see if I can educate you or not!"
The current regular season adopts a best-of-three-game format.
In the playoffs, it will become a best-of-five series.
There doesn't seem to be much difference, just one victory missing.
But as we all know, the real situation is that the regular season and the playoffs are two completely different games.
From the BP outside the game to the tactical choices within the game, the complexity is not comparable to that of the regular season.
The factory director knew that Gu Xing was very strong, but when it came to the playoffs, he was sure that he would never lose.
But Gu Xing doesn't care about that much.
I am a newbie who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. I can win a victory from the hands of the factory director's EDG. In the future, when I am studying, I can talk to the classmates around me who play league.
Staggering his position, he looked at the EDG top laner at the edge of the player bench.
It was obvious that he was in a good mood, and he even said hello to Gu Xing with a smile.
Shaking hands as a courtesy, Gu Xing and his teammates came to the center of the stage and bowed in thanks.
"Pfft, did you feel good about killing in the second game?" When he returned to his seat, he didn't forget to ask Imp.
Ju Shengbin hadn't yet come out of the ecstasy of defeating Deft, and he didn't bother to refute Gu Xing's address to him. He just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "That must be great!"
The miserable appearance of being left alone in the first game has long been forgotten.
Imp's mind is now filled with the pleasure of playing Ember sniper in the second game.
While Gu Xing was cleaning up his keyboard and mouse and communicating with his teammates, he received an interview notice from the staff.
As usual, he rolled up the peripherals and gave them to his teammates for safekeeping, and then stood at the entrance of the backstage passage and waited.
The live broadcast room of the LPL match on TV has finished showing the highlight moments of the game, and the MVP has also been selected.
Gu Xing saw his final makeup photo again.
His first reaction was that the photo was a duplicate.
The makeup photo chosen by the director had been seen by Gu Xing before.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
There is a limit to the number of makeup photos each player can take. If you want to see different photos during the selection announcement, the most straightforward way is to win two less MVPs.
In the back of the final makeup photo, Nidalee is holding a javelin in a strong posture, and her whole body is full of wild beauty.
4 kills, 0 deaths, 6 assists, team participation rate 90.9%, damage ratio 22.0%...
According to the statistics below, Gu Xing's number of MVPs this season has officially reached the ten mark.
To be fair, judging from the data performance alone, this is the worst game among his ten MVP games.
But the victory is to crush the opponent in the jungle.
Throughout the entire game, Gu Xing completely suppressed the factory director and left Reksai useless, which was a great achievement.
Gu Xing was still calculating how much money he could get this month, when Yu Shuang trotted over on high heels.
"Long time no see!" She smiled brightly and congratulated the other party again.
Gu Xing responded with a smile, took the card, looked at the questions above, made sure there were no mistakes, and started chatting with the host.
After the director gave instructions, Yu Shuang took him on stage.
"The interview guest for this interview is Virtue, the jungler from the VG team..."
The host ended the warm-up, and Gu Xing introduced himself to the audience as usual.
The audience cheered loudly, and VG supporters spared no effort in trying to make Gu Xing feel their enthusiasm.
"First question, how do you feel after defeating EDG to extend your unbeaten record in small games?" Yu Shuang looked sideways at him.
Gu Xing said without hesitation, "For me, winning this game means not only being undefeated in small games, but also proving myself in front of the older generation of e-sports people like the factory director."
He is serious.
But the audience didn't think so.
After the game, netizens felt that Gu Xing was just being polite when he said he was a fan of the factory director.
Yu Shuang also pursed her lips and smiled, changing the topic, "After winning EDG, VG's inter-group competition is coming to an end. How long does Virtue think his unbeaten record in small games will last?"
The last opponent in the inter-group confrontation is the NB team that was renamed from QG.
Without Doinb, several other players are still declining, and their overall strength is not even in the middle. It is difficult to create resistance for VG.
"The longer the better," Gu Xing's attitude remained modest. "There are so many strong players in the LPL. I have to try my best to improve myself in order to maintain sufficient competitiveness."
Hearing this, the barrage started making noise again.
[A cloud of strong men? Virtue is starting to tell lies with his eyes open]
[If you don’t understand, just ask, do the so-called strong ones refer to the top four in S6M, one in the top eight and two in the top 16 in the S5 World Championship?]
[Then we are also in the second division, right?]
[Now that the LPL can’t even beat Europe, where does the second division come from?]
As for the last question, Yu Shuang focused on Gu Xing’s MVP number.
The Summer Split schedule is already halfway through, and newcomers are leading the MVP list. This is the first time that such awards have been given out in the LPL.
Yu Shuang is very curious about Gu Xing’s final MVP number.
Gu Xing did not answer directly, "I think the main thing is to win the game. It would be more appropriate to talk about personal honors on the premise of ensuring the victory of the game."
He doesn't deny his desire for MVP.
This is normal.
Not only will you have a certificate of honor, but you will also receive a bonus of 2,000 yuan.
Who doesn't want it?
However, Gu Xing knows that for professional players, ensuring victory is far more important than winning the MVP.
Forcibly maintaining KDA, or playing games simply to stand out, are not very correct professional attitudes.
After finishing the post-match interview, Gu Xing quickly ran back to the backstage lounge.
His friend Ding Ran stepped forward and punched him on the shoulder, the excitement on his face not diminishing, "Brother Xing, can you really suppress the factory director and hit him?!"
"I have to go to the happy hour Internet cafe to show off to the network manager later..." Ding Ran began to think about it, "I heard that the young network manager likes the factory director. If he watches the game, I don't know what his expression will be now!"
What kind of experience is it like to watch customers who used to rely on pentakills and super talents to maintain their Internet fees, and go to play professional singles to eat up their idols?
Thinking about Ding Ran feels exciting.
"Can you have a plan?" Gu Xing couldn't laugh or cry.
"No," Ding Ran shook his head and joked, "I'm very small."
Gu Xing looked around and found that Hongmi was not in the room.
Jin Wenhe guessed what he was thinking and immediately helped answer the question, "An e-sports media wants to interview Brother Cheng Rong. He went to another small room and will probably have to wait for a quarter of an hour before he can come back."
There was no way to leave the venue if there were not many people around, so Gu Xing simply took out his phone and looked through it.
In the small group of Seven Wolves, a group of gaming friends were full of praise for Gu Xing's performance.
Jack even gave out several large red envelopes when he won the game, which was considered a celebration.
There were 11 people in the group, so Yu Wenbo divided his lucky red envelope into 11 parts and deliberately kept it for his jungler.
In this way, even if Gu Xing wasted a lot of time going through post-game handshakes and interviews, he would still have red envelopes to open when he returned to the lounge.
However, perhaps because he had too much luck in winning the game, Gu Xing opened five red envelopes, the largest one was only 7.77 yuan, which was far less than the average Jack red envelope.
Gu Xing looked at the balance in his QQ wallet, added some more money, and also sent out a red envelope.
Win the factory director, gain two MVPs and earn 4,000 yuan.
He is simply a triple win.
Zhanqi TV, Xiangxiang: [Thank you, boss!]
He has the fastest hands.
Liu Qingsong and Fenfen also bubbled up one after another.
According to the rules of the competition system, the secondary league matches are held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday every week, which happens to be staggered with the LPL and does not affect the viewing of netizens.
Team Gluttony Sa is probably on vacation today, not even playing a training match.
However, as far as Gu Xing knows, Greedy Sa's recent performance has not been ideal.
The rhetoric made by the players when they entered the LSPL has now all come to nothing.
Gluttony Sa are near the bottom of the secondary league and are diving into the relegation zone.
This result, let alone compared with Shi Senming's YM, even the mid-range team, Greedy Sa, is no match!
If he continues to sink, Greedy Sa will most likely have to return to the original starting point - the City Heroes Competition.
Gu Xing learned about the relevant rules during previous trials.
If a team is dropped from the secondary league, it will no longer be able to register to participate in the City Heroes Contest next season.
Dong Xiaosa will be in a very awkward situation by then, and whether he can stay in this team or not is a question.
Gu Xing thought about it and decided to make some insinuations, "Are you on holiday today?"
Lin Weixiang was active on the front line of the water group and responded immediately, "What, do you want to treat me to a meal?"
Before Gu Xing could reply, he blurted out, "It's not a holiday today, but if you treat us, we will definitely support you!"
Gu Xing knew that Lin Weixiang was really stupid.
He made no secret of his fishing behavior at work.
Gu Xing was left speechless by Xiangxiang.
I want to persuade the other person to train hard, but I don’t know where to start.
After all, he is not a member of Greedy Sa. At best, he is a good friend. He has only met once, so he is not very close.
To put it more seriously, it seems to be nosy.
To put it mildly, it has no effect at all.
Even though he was a social expert like Gu Xing, he was in trouble for a while.
In the end, I had no choice but to change the topic, thinking that since I came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, I haven't had a meal with the Greedy Sa crowd, so I wanted to make an appointment to have a meal and get acquainted with each other.
Jack was very interested in this and readily agreed to start discussing the place for the dinner with Lin Weixiang and others.
Gu Xing thought that his participation was no longer needed, so he cut out of the group chat to chat with Shen Guanshan.
Hongmi couldn't come back for a while, so he simply left the lounge and found a remote corner to make a voice call.
Shen Guanshan, who was in his hometown in Zhenhai, saw the call invitation and was in a hurry. He drank tons of water to moisten his throat and cleared his throat before picking up the call.
Then I was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say to start.
Gu Xing waited for two seconds and saw that she didn't speak, so he took the initiative and said, "Can you hear me?"
"Yes, yes, I can hear you!" Shen Guanshan agreed hastily and finally started chatting, "You performed particularly well today..."
Gu Xing thought for a while and asked again, "Where is the excitement?"
"The Leopard Girl in the second game was able to kill alone and control resources. In the end, she flashed and jumped in to kill Deft instantly. It felt very smooth!" Shen Guanshan talked a lot more than usual.
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Xing's mouth raised slightly uncontrollably, "Thank you so much for your encouragement last night... I performed so well today, and I owe 1/3 of the credit to you."
Shen Guanshan rubbed his ears, hoping to cool down the hot ears.
"Are you going to watch the game by yourself today?" Gu Xing asked abruptly.
"Gu Pan also saw it. She just left not long ago." Shen Guanshan sold his friend without hesitation, "But I didn't praise you for your good fight today."
Gu Xing frowned slightly.
Since his phone call with Shen Guanshan, he has been able to receive a lot of evidence of Gu Pan's duplicity.
Usually, based on Shen Guanshan's feedback, every time he gets the MVP, Gu Pan, who is watching the game remotely, will give him a few compliments.
Today is an exception.
What happened?
Gu Xing felt something was wrong, "Does Gu Pan know that you have tipped me off?"
Shen Guanshan thought carefully and categorically denied, "It's impossible, I'm very good at acting."
What misunderstanding did you have that made you think you were good at acting?
Gu Xing slandered.
"Ignore her," Mingzhi did not waste time on his sister. Gu Xing avoided the topic, "Are you still playing in the league recently?"
Shen Guanshan nodded fiercely, then thought that he was making a voice call and the other party couldn't see it at all, "I'm already level 30!"
"So fast?" Gu Xing was surprised.
I vaguely remember that it took me two or three months to reach level 30.
Shen Guanshan had fully calculated, and it only lasted for one month.
"There are experience cards sold in the mall. I put some money into it and played a few matches every day. The upgrade speed was quite fast," Shen Guanshan explained, and another abrupt turn came. "The game is quite fun, but you lose." I will be very unhappy."
She is very similar to Gu Xing in this aspect.
Very competitive.
It is a competitive game. Shen Guanshan feels refreshed when he wins, but becomes even more frustrated when he loses.
"If you don't want to improve your score, I recommend the Brawl," Gu Xing suggested. "That mode is more entertaining."
Shen Guanshan refused without thinking, "I also plan to play ranked to test my strength!"
"Okay," Gu Xing heard the stubbornness in the other person's tone and couldn't help but chuckle, "Then do you want to come to Shanghai again to watch the game live?"
Shen Guanshan was stunned, his brain was working rapidly, and he answered after careful consideration, "I can come, but Gu Pan has to take the exam for subject two recently, and the tutor is also very busy, so he may not have time..."
Gu Xing didn't expect such a good thing to happen, "Then don't bring Gu Pan, you can do it alone."
"Okay, okay!" Shen Guanshan agreed, his heart beating rapidly, and joy flowing through his blood to his limbs, "How about the game against LGD on the 20th?"
She memorized Gu Xing's schedule for this summer so she could watch the games.
Shen Guanshan was not a person who was good at hiding his emotions, and Gu Xing could feel that he was very happy.
He was also very happy.
…
Gu Xing turned off his cell phone, and Hongmi finally finished the interview and rushed back. When he saw his jungler, he didn't forget to praise him.
The VG group boarded the bus and were going to find a restaurant outside to celebrate the victory of this crucial battle tonight.
With their little heads pressed against their big heads, Gu Xing and Jack sat together and browsed the anti-stress posts.
The forum was bustling with activity, and netizens were all commenting on the game that just ended.
[How to evaluate Virtue who scored 10 MVPs in 14 games? 】
[Virtue: The factory director is as stable as a mountain in the LPL jungle, but in front of me he is as brittle as a piece of paper, which will break when I poke it]
[Has anyone figured out Rek’Sai’s damage in the second round of Factory Director? 】
[2977! Hahahaha, the excavator can’t produce 3,000 output, it’s really embarrassing for Clearlove]
[The question is, who is stronger between Virtue and LCK’s Peanut?]
[No need to ask, Xiaohuahua must be stronger. The gold content of LCK is much stronger than LPL now, okay? 】
Peanut is the jungler of the ROX team that has been in the spotlight recently. He has a handsome and cute face, but his playing style is extremely fierce. His strong strength has attracted many fans.
However, Jack's focus was not on this. He pointed to the post above and asked Gu Xing in disbelief, "Is it true or false? The factory director did not hit him with less than 3,000 damage?"
The director showed the data chart after the game, but everyone in the VG lounge was celebrating at the time, and Jack didn't pay attention.
Only then did he realize the outrageous damage figure.
The average damage is over 100 points.
Excluding the 443 points output of Yuan Shao's child Youshen in e-sports and the 888 points output of Kakao, Factory Director has the lowest damage among non-support players.
"Really," Gu Xing looked at the panel after the game, "but there are extenuating circumstances."
In the second game, there were very few battles between the two sides.
EDG thought they had chosen a late-game lineup, so they pushed back as hard as they could, avoiding all possible team fights and even giving up neutral resources and defense towers.
In the entire game, there was only the last wave of team battles.
At that time, the factory director's equipment and level could not keep up, and he was stabbed with a javelin by Gu Xing, so he had to retreat to save his life.
In the early confrontations with Gu Xing, he had no ability to fight back and was chased and beaten all the way.
This is close to 3,000 points of damage, and most of it is caused when helping Deft capture the bottom lane.
When Gu Xing thought about it, he didn't think it was that outrageous.
But Jack laughed heartily, "The factory director is embarrassing our Love family!"
He also ran to provide this joke to other team members.
But the bus was relatively deserted today.
Neither the marquis nor imp is here.
The two of them were dragged out to have a private dinner together by EDG's two C's who were close to each other.
Anyway, VG has a holiday tomorrow, and manager Lu Wenjun won the game and approved the leave without any ambiguity.
After eating and drinking outside, Gu Xing returned to the base around eleven o'clock in the evening.
After taking a shower, I opened the live broadcast room and prepared to finalize the contract length in July in advance.
After chatting for a few words this time, it was decided to play in the Korean server.
Gu Xing chose men and horses whose proficiency was relatively average, and planned to practice to improve them.
I stretched out, opened the mineral water and took a sip. Just when I was about to cut out and see what outrageous barrage there was, I realized that something was not right with the game loading interface.
He leaned forward, trying not to miss any detail.
The nickname of the opponent's mid laner, Enchantress, is famous!
