Seeing the atmosphere in the room becoming increasingly tense, the team members were at a loss.
Gu Xing didn't know what to do.
the reason is simple.
He couldn't understand the Korean that Hongmi spoke at all!
Gu Xing could only feel the anger of his coach from his words. How to break up the fight?
The Marquis obviously had no intention of getting involved and ran to the toilet on the pretext of peeing.
The only one left in the team who understands Korean is lmp who is being scolded.
Team leader Jin Wenhyuk saw that something was wrong and took the initiative to calm down the atmosphere.
"Brother Chengrong, please calm down. We have something to talk about when we get back..." He smiled and smoothed things over. "The team members are hungry. Let's go out for a meal first."
In order to ensure their on-the-spot reaction and competitive status, Gu Xing and the others only ate a little food at noon. They wanted to finish the game quickly, but they didn't expect to face OMG. Counting BP and rest between games, it dragged on for three hours.
The previous competition was intense and fierce, and the players were fully focused on the field and could not think about other things.
Now that they had won a tragic victory, the joy of victory gradually faded away, and everyone felt hungry and a little uncomfortable. When Hongmi heard the words of the team leader, she still pursed her lips and fixed her eyes tightly on MP, as if she wanted to gouge out Gu Shengbin. Make a hole.
Finally, he asked Jin Wenhe to take the team members out to eat.
Lmp, on the other hand, was directly pulled back to the base by him, and was expected to continue the 1v1 battle.
After sitting down at a McDonald's in Hongqiao Tiandi, world6 was very worried, "You said they won't fight, right?"
Brother Long scoffed at this statement, "How is it possible that you are still fighting at your age?"
The girl from the world got excited and said, "I heard that Samsung's boss An placed a baseball bat in the training room of the base. If any team member disobeys, he will be hit with a stick!"
Xiao Duan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Is it true?"
Gu Xing was also doubtful.
If someone had told him this before he started playing professionally, he would never have taken it seriously.
But after coming to vg for a month, he also had a certain understanding of South Korea's seniority system and knew that the rules there were so strict that they were abnormal.
So now when Gu Xing heard this, he couldn't help but have doubts.
Mr. Hou, who was quietly eating a burger next to him, was left speechless by them, "That's fake news. The baseball bats were all shot into Zanrong's hands."
In terms of seniority, he is almost the same as An Bixin. They are the same age and started their careers very close to each other, so it doesn't hurt to call them by their first names.
"Ah..." world6's expression actually contained a bit of regret.
Gu Xing couldn't help but curse, what on earth were you expecting?
"And not all seniors in Korea are dictating to their juniors. It still depends on the specific environment." Mr. Hou's Chinese proficiency is getting deeper and deeper, and he even uses idioms. "For example, kt is very relaxed."
"Qinghuan's brother Marin and I were the eldest in the team at the time. We were joking with each other casually. The two of us left the team. Bengi has a good personality and 96line is not the kind of player who uses seniority to pressure others."
Jack interrupted, "What does 96 Ryan mean?"
"Line," Gu Xing corrected him, jokingly, "How did you learn English?"
Yu Wenbo said confidently, "If my brother were good at English, would he still come here to work professionally?"
After speaking, he turned his curious eyes to the Marquis again.
"Sang Hyuk Joon Sik and Jae Wan, the three of them were both born in 1996," Easyhoon explained. "In Korea, there is a clear division of generations. Only people of the same age can be called 'relatives', so they will have an extremely close relationship, so they are called 'relatives' by fans." 96line."
Bae Joon Sik and Lee Jae Wan, the real names of the SKT duo Bang and Wolf.
With several generations of SKT veterans leaving the team, 96line has a tendency to become the backbone of the team.
Everyone was still chatting, and someone saw the team members in the corner and excitedly came forward and asked for a photo.
vg and his team were all wearing short-sleeved team uniforms, which made them very eye-catching in the business district.
Professional e-sports has become more and more influential in recent years, not to mention the live broadcast industry booming in 2016, which coincides with the peak period of League of Legends e-sports.
A variety of factors complement each other, and combined with vg's current impressive record in the lpl, their popularity has skyrocketed.
Hearing other people's requests, several team members were not comfortable with it.
The number of fans has increased dramatically in the past month, giving G players, who were used to being transparent, an unreal feeling.
Gu Xing felt very happy when he saw his supporters.
He has always been good at dealing with strangers. He not only complied with the photo request, but also signed his ID on the vg makeup photo that the other party took out, and greeted a few fans by the way.
During this period, he always had a warm smile on his face and a gentle tone of voice, which made the supporters feel like spring breeze.
A fan was nervous when talking to Gu Xing at first. Seeing his kind attitude, his mood relaxed.
"Xiao Gu, you have to work hard. I'll be there when the playoffs begin!"
"What little Gu..." Gu Xing couldn't help but laugh and shook his head as he looked at the fan who was younger than him.
After waving goodbye to the group of supporters, Xiao Duan finally relaxed and quickly thanked his jungler, "Gu Xing, you can do it. Thanks to you just now!"
He has an introverted personality and really can't stand up to the enthusiastic fans. Fortunately, Gu Xing helped him stop many of them, otherwise he would have been embarrassed today.
Brother Long glanced briefly, "You thought we had no fans before, but now I give you a chance and you're useless!"
"I'm sure I can't react right away!" Xiao Duan defended.
Gu Xing stuffed the grilled chicken drumstick into his mouth, swallowed it along with the Coca-Cola, and finally filled his stomach.
Jin Wenhe did not forget to pack two set meals for Hongmi and MP, for fear that they would have nothing to eat.
Back at the base, Gu Xing found that the two men were still arguing.
Imp has poor articulation, and an important part of the quarrel was the speed of speech competition. He lost in this category and was no match for Hongmi.
The two chattered in a language that Gu Xing couldn't understand at all, and it sounded like rap.
Sister Shijie was filled with admiration, "They came back half an hour earlier than us. It's quite impressive that they could argue for so long."
"If I go up there..." He imagined and simulated it in his mind, huddled in the gaming chair, "I'll probably be torn to pieces in two rounds."
world6's temper is as soft as his voice, and it is difficult for him to conflict with others.
If Hongmi scolded him, he felt that he would choose to pretend and wait for the other person to calm down before trying to explain.
Considering the unrest in the base, Gu Xing did not start the live broadcast.
I just took the time to glance at the forum while waiting for qualifying.
As expected, there was a lot of condemnation of lmp in the anti-pressure bar.
[This Kalista is playing like shit, I really have your mp] [Thanks to De Angel for helping him in the early stage, he gave it away as soon as the group started! 】【Who is De Angel? If I don't come to the bar for two days, will I be left behind? 】【Virtue’s nickname, from now on I’ll call him De Angel Gundam Brother】【Don’t be embarrassed, Kalista is not good at teamfights. It’s not unacceptable that MP died twice because of his poor condition today. Anyway, he won in the end. That's all.] After Gu Xing read the post, the quarrel behind him finally subsided.
His headset was given by the team. It is different from the one used in professional competitions. The price is much cheaper, and the sound isolation effect is very poor.
Unless you turn the volume up to the highest level, you can't completely block out the sounds coming from the back of the training room.
Realizing that the quarrel behind him gradually turned into a calm conversation and his tone became lower, Gu Xing quickly looked back as he returned to the city with his hero.
But they saw the two of them saying hello to Jin Wenhe and walking out together.
Jack, the curious baby, had been paying attention to them. When he saw them leaving the base, he immediately turned around and asked the team leader, "What's going on?"
"They went out drinking," Jin Wenhe, who was discussing the follow-up live broadcast activities with Douyu, replied, "I want to talk everything out."
"Can it be done?" Gu Xing was very doubtful.
After spending a month with imp, he must admit that this adc is indeed very strong and deserves to be the champion of the S4 World Championship.
But the problem is that the professional attitude is really bad.
Most of the time, one punch-in training is highlighted.
Hongmi had also tried to persuade her before, but the effect was quite average.
Imp basically spends three days fishing and two days drying the net. After two days of hard work, the true colors are revealed.
Because of this, Gu Xingcai had no hope for Hongmi.
"What about the burgers you bought?" Jack looked at the McDonald's packaging bag and swallowed imperceptibly.
"It can't be wasted."
"Whoever wants to eat can eat it..." Jin Wenhe opened the package, took out a Big Mac and threw it to Yu Wenbo, "Watch your weight, I feel a lot fatter recently."
"Isn't this base food?" Jack opened the burger and wolfed it down. "I was too thin before, so I couldn't stomach any fat.
Until late at night, the two Koreans returned to the villa drunk.
IP ran down after taking a shower, his cheeks were red and he was burping from wine. He was humming an unknown hometown tune and seemed to be in a good mood.
Gu Xing's inner emotions were extremely complicated. He thought of the famous black question mark emoticon.
What happened?
Does this count as reconciliation?
Hongmi had a decent amount of alcohol and was not drunk. He knocked on the whiteboard and motioned for the players to look over.
"Announcing the personnel adjustments of the team..." Hongmi's meaning was conveyed to the ears of all team members through Jin Wenhe,
"Starting from tomorrow afternoon, jackeylove. will officially participate in the team rotation and start the game against IM the day after the war."
Although Jack was included in the roster previously reported to the league, except for the opening game, Yu Wenbo was firmly suppressed by MP.
Now I finally have my day!
Jack was overjoyed.
To be fair, it is pure nonsense to say that he does not deserve Shengbin's starting position.
The two have a close personal relationship, but they still have a competitive relationship.
Yu Wenbo was extremely excited when he heard that he could start the game.
But then he quickly glanced at MP.
Jack wanted to control his face so as not to offend lmp.
Gu Shengbin guessed what he was thinking and patted Jack on the shoulder, "Just play well when you go on the field. If you don't perform well,
I'm ready to kick you back to the water cooler!
The rest of the team members whispered, obviously not expecting Hongmi to make such an adjustment.
"I talked a lot with lmp in the evening and he took the initiative to tell me that he wanted to stay on the bench for a while to adjust his condition and come back when the time is right," Hongmi explained in detail, "jackeylovej happened to be performing well during this period, so Going to do a rotation."
Homme looked at Jack and said, "In terms of training matches alone, your performance is better than today's lmp. This is the starting spot that you have earned openly. Don't worry too much."
When Yu Wenbo heard his head coach's explanation and the recognition in his words, he smiled heartily.
He does want to compete for the starting job.
In other words, at this point, no one is willing to keep looking at the water dispenser.
But getting to the top depends on your true ability.
Adding insult to injury or cursing a starting player out of the game due to injury is something Jack doesn't think he can do.
After the announcement, the players turned back to practice.
Gu Xing continued to practice as usual. He had learned a lot of skills from dandy these days and dragged norld6 into the game to calculate over and over again.
Currently, there is no training mode on the client. You can only create a custom room to enter the canyon. You need to get the gold coins you need first, and then buy equipment and repeat the game a little bit, which is relatively inefficient.
Working until three o'clock in the morning, Gu Xing looked at the dense data in the desktop document and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling satisfied.
He thanked world6 and prepared to print out the document. When he had nothing to do, he glanced at it to strengthen his memory.
After twisting his sore neck muscles, Gu Xing stood up and realized that none of his teammates had left the training room.
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
As usual, unless the game day coincides with a holiday, you have to continue training after returning from Hongqiao Tiandi.
However, the time will be a little more relaxed. After all, a formal game was played intensively, which also consumed a lot of energy from the team members.
Most of the time, I go upstairs to rest around two o'clock in the morning.
It's been an hour and no one has returned to the dormitory?
"Practice two more games, I'm not tired now." Jack geared up, preparing to go into the canyon and fight his opponent for 800 rounds.
He learned that he can start in the next game. Now he is in an exciting period. He plans to increase the amount of practice to maintain his touch and perform better on the court.
"I couldn't sleep even after I went up," Mr. Hou opened a bag of potato chips and opened M's game video. "M's mid laner Athena is very strong. I have to study it carefully."
After ede logged in to lpl and changed its name to im, it underwent personnel changes.
The mid laner was changed from baeme to athenas.
This is an extremely strong Korean player who played for the little-known semi-professional team escever in 2015.
He once led his team to defeat SKT, which won the world championship, and Korean e-sports giant CJ in the Kespa Cup at the end of the year, and finally succeeded in winning the cup!
Although the top teams don't pay much attention to the Kespa Cup, it's incredible that a semi-professional team can break through and win the championship!
As winners of the Kespa Cup, they successfully participated in the lem10 Cologne station in 2015.
esc was upset all the way. In the Cologne finals, they fought against the then Rainbow team QG Eagle in five games and won the championship again!
This team was as short and bright as a shooting star, crossing the end of 2015.
Athena, who is the core of the team, was recruited by edg with a high salary.
When the second team EDE broke into the top league, he went to M to reinforce them at the request of the home team.
Facts have proved that Athena is indeed outrageously fierce.
The yellow chickens, rock birds, and vampires he is good at are very suitable for the version, and his slow operation style is also very suitable for Athena herself.
The good chemical reaction between the players and the team has made m's recent performance even more exciting.
Naturally, the Marquis must be well prepared.
"That's right, we have to kill him!" Even the girl from the world shouted, "I still remember the revenge of one stone before!"
vg has only lost one big game so far in this summer split.
The opponent is none other than m!
Gu Xing was preparing for the college entrance examination at the time. Norld6 started the game and was swept by M with a straight score of 0-2.
World Girl performed very poorly in that game.
This is why the coaching staff decided to put Gu Xing on the field to put out the fire as soon as he came to the base.
Now that she thinks about the frustration of that game, World Girl grits her teeth.
"The clothes those hangers-on wear are the same as the old lady's foot-binding cloth. It's smelly and long."
Gu Xing laughed, "They can do a sweep and still be called a stinker? Then who are we?"
Brother Long had just finished a ranked game and turned around angrily, "I have to say, their style of play is really disgusting.
Drag it, just drag it hard! "
The two got started, and other team members joined in to express their dissatisfaction with m.
"Normally speaking, our operations are about the same. If we control the jungle and field of vision, we should be ready to take the baron and push the tower step by step, right?"
Xiao Duan complained, "M is not that good. He plays like a turtle shell, doing nothing and just waiting for you to make mistakes!"
"It's simply the king of torture. Who can withstand it?"
This was the first time that Gu Xing heard them talk about their failure. He operated the printer and listened carefully at the same time.
The schedule of the regular season is relatively compact, with one or two games every week. Unless vg faces teams of the same level as edg and rng, it will hold a meeting before the game to study it specifically.
Otherwise, we will hold a small meeting to catch up on the version and the roles and systems that the other party is good at.
Therefore, Gu Xing does not know much about m.
He also wanted to collect more information from his teammates.
"We strive to be aggressive in the early stage to roll the snowball, and the eye position in the mid-term must be well arranged. M especially likes to play around and teleport..."
Xiao Duan clapped his fingers and reminded Gu Xing that these were the bloody lessons VG had accumulated from facing M before.
Gu Xing nodded to indicate that he understood clearly.
After staying up until four o'clock in the morning, several team members finally planned to go back to sleep.
Gu Xing wanted to wait a little longer and get his Korean server account to a thousand points before going to rest.
He and lmp were the only two people left in the large training room.
"Xiao Gu, please take a look at it for me, and click accept when you find your opponent." Gu Shengbin took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket,
"I'm going outside to refresh myself."
Smoking is not allowed in the vg base, and old smokers like imp have to leave the villa before smoking again.
Gu Xing looked at Gu Shengbin's leaving figure and wondered what he had talked about with Hongmi.
MP, who was about to start showing off, was willing to accept the rotation, and now he is training until four or five in the morning like a chicken blood, returning to the training time before facing deft.
Could it be that Hongmi gave him the ecstasy soup?
Gu Xing was suspicious.
Until he went upstairs and returned to the dormitory, p was still there scoring points in solo queue, looking extremely focused.
However, P had been stubborn in the past and could not sustain high-intensity training for a long time. This move was not convincing in Gu Xing's eyes.
The night before facing M, vg official blog released the starting list for the next day.
jackeylove] replaced mp’s topic and caused a stir in the comment area!
【what's the situation? Puff, cool? My imp is whining...] [The small game winning streak was cut off by omg, so imp has to take the big blame. It’s good to change it and calm down for a while] [According to reliable sources, after the last game, vg had internal strife, De Angel scolded imp for dying suddenly in a team fight, and the two even had a fight with a chair] [This revelation is true at first glance, I am the chair at the vg base, and I saw with my own eyes that Detian used a rocket launcher to hit imp into the hospital] Gu Xing before the game I was browsing Weibo in the lounge of Hongqiao Tiandi and glanced at the comments on Weibo. I was dumbfounded by these messages.
"Get ready to play, everyone adjust your state," Jin Wenhe encouraged the players, "Winning or losing is a common thing in the military. Relax your mind and play seriously, and don't be mentally burdened!"
Having said that, several vg players are still full of passion for revenge.
On the other side of the backstage passage stood the IM players. Gu Xing initially said hello to the opponent's top laner, amazingj.
The other person is also a fun-loving person. His smile looks exactly like the animal expressions circulated on the Internet, and his personality is very cheerful.
After just a few words of conversation, Gu Xing was forced to turn his head back by Xiao Duan.
"You have to be consistent with us and don't talk to the other person," Xiao Duan said righteously, "Besides, what do you two have to say?"
Gu Xing smiled helplessly, and just in time to receive the notice from the staff, he stepped onto the stage and took his seat in the contestant seats.
Jack turned around on the e-sports chair, checking that there were no problems with his runes, and then chatted with his jungler, "Lao Gu, how about you be my dog in this game?"
Gu Xing put on his headphones and teased Yu Wenbo, "Don't help you when the time comes, otherwise I will explode.
"You're kidding!" Jack was very dissatisfied, "Look at it today, buddy, let me show you what explosive output is!"
There were no empty seats in the audience.
m's current situation is somewhat similar to vg's at the beginning of the season.
The results are acceptable, but the popularity is not high.
The five players are all of good quality, but the team's play style is slow and less enjoyable to watch. They have just entered the top league and have not made any famous performances.
Among the 12 LPL teams, IM's popularity is only ranked in the middle and lower reaches.
But now the number of vg fans is rapidly expanding, filling the auditorium!
The supporters waved the support items they received from vg staff before the game, shouted for the players, and cheered them on!
"The director's shot showed the newcomer jackeylove," the voice of the commentator was unique and had a crooked accent. You could tell he remembered it as soon as you heard it. "This is his second appearance in LPL!"
Qi Huan nodded slightly, "It is worth mentioning that during the mid-season transfer period, vg officially announced the joining of two players, Virtuel and JackeyLovep... and entering the second half of the season, today is their first time partnering on the same stage!"
That's right, the rotation of the lineup here has stabilized, and Athena has secured her starting position. The team is now ranked third in Group B, and is very close to RNG in front of it! "Remember to give a brief introduction.
"In the previous round-robin match in the first round of the group, m had the last laugh, giving vg their first defeat in the summer split, and it was also vg's only defeat so far!"
Qi Huan hurriedly added, "However, Virtue had not yet played at that time. Now the strength of this VG team is far better than before. I personally feel that from the perspective of competitive status, VG has a certain advantage."
He was very optimistic about Gu Xing. When commentating on other teams' games, he would often pull Gu Xing out to praise him.
I remember being noncommittal. Although he thought so too, he thought it was inappropriate to comment like this before the game.
Fortunately, there was a crisp sound, and the bp panel appeared on the big screen at the scene!
