Everyone in the training department gathered in the hotel corridor, and team leader Jin Wenhe was still exhorting the players.
"Have you got your passes? The game will start later in the afternoon. If you don't want to eat at noon, you can bring two bananas!"
"Be careful and don't forget to charge your mouse, otherwise you will be fined!" He couldn't stop mumbling after reminding him, "Why are you still used to using wireless models? You have to mention it before every game. "
"Don't worry, I just recharged it before going to bed last night..." He patted the team leader on the shoulder, "Brother Wenhe, times have changed. From now on, everyone will probably be wireless mice. You have to get used to it slowly."
In the past few years, wireless mice were often criticized by gamers because of their inaccurate positioning and insufficient battery life. They had to be recharged from time to time. Only office workers would use them if they were convenient and concise.
Affected by his inertial thinking, Gu Xing initially thought that the wireless mouse was just average, but now he feels that it is much better than the G900 version.
With the rapid advancement of technology, wireless mouse positioning is in no way inferior to wired mode, and the battery life is ridiculously long without being bound by a cable.
He opened the bag and popped a Domori black chocolate into his mouth. Tasting the bitterness spreading in his mouth, he turned out of the corridor and came to the elevator.
Then he saw Ming Kai and Xiang Guo walking together.
The two of them have not yet recovered from the loss in the quarter-finals. Their faces are downcast and they look listless.
Now meeting Gu Xing face to face, Ming Kai forced himself to smile a little.
"I can only rely on you now, but don't be kicked out like the two of us," Gui Jiao Qi sent his sincere blessings, "Go forward, the further you go, the better."
Xiangguo added, "But don't be too stressed. It's not a big deal if you lose. If it doesn't work out, just come and keep me company!"
He also casually said a jingle, "The three teams are holding hands, whoever makes it to the semi-finals will be the dog!"
"Liu Shiyu, shut up," Ming Kai said viciously, "No one will think you are mute if you don't speak!"
Gu Xing didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry too much. I'm quite confident today. Why don't you two go to watch my performance live?"
"It's crazy," Gui Jiao Qi shook his head like a rattle, "I don't want to go to that venue again in my life."
Being eliminated by Longzhu with a clean sheet under the spotlight at home, no one can withstand it.
"Me too!" Xiangguo added.
If it were explained that Kai didn't want to go because he was beaten so badly that he was about to develop PTSD symptoms.
Liu Shiyu was more regretful.
I didn't sleep all night last night. I was lying on the bed baking pancakes. I was always thinking that if the performance in the final game was better, I could lead RNG to the semi-finals without having to dream of Guangzhou.
He didn't want to watch any more videos about last night's quarterfinal match, for fear of dragging himself into the endless pain of last night.
Gu Xing was not in the mood or position to comfort the two of them. After saying goodbye, he quickly took the elevator downstairs and boarded the bus.
Li Zhixun was sitting in his seat, scrolling through his phone, looking very happy.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Xing put down his bag and asked curiously.
"The comment section of our official blog," Mr. Hou explained, "is now full of people cheering us on."
Under the Weibo post about RNG being eliminated and leaving yesterday, VG's official blog just posted a crying emoticon and it attracted thousands of replies. Netizens were enthusiastic and encouraged it, all the resentment that arose after the defeat of the first two teams. Pour it into Du Miao.
"Isn't that normal?" Ding Jun said with a smile, "We are the only ones left in the LPL division. We don't have the chance to cheer for other teams!"
Yu Wenbo sat down next to Li Zhixun, "Hurry up, Mr. Hou, can you translate the Korean forum? I'm just waiting to have fun!"
"Isn't it in the anti-bar that you saw?" Easyhoon was confused.
"No, there aren't many reposted posts on Korean forums, there's not enough to read!" Jack was dissatisfied.
Li Zhixun had no choice but to act as a translator and switch to the Inven forum.
Since Mr. Hou retired, he gradually no longer rejects Korean online forums.
Of course, the main reason is the reversal of public opinion.
Last year, he won the second Summoner's Trophy in a head-to-head match against Lee Sang Hyuk in VG. The Korean Net is now full of praise for Lee Ji Hoon, no longer the ridicule at the end of S5.
Easyhoon now browses the forum without any psychological burden, it is just for fun.
"Your uncle, please spoil him!" Gu Xingpa pulled out his blindfold, flattened his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
The bus slowly drove away from the hotel, and he could still hear the Marquis' gentle Chinese speaking on the way.
"This comment is a mockery of the LPL, saying that our group training has been of no use at all. The bad chess sparring will only get better and better. If you encounter the LCK top laner, you will still be beaten to pieces."
"Oh, the post from Kangba yesterday was reposted to the Inven forum..."
Jack was finally happy when he saw this place.
Gu Xing's curiosity was aroused, as if his heart was scratched twice by a cat. He removed his blindfold and asked, "What post?"
Looking at Li Zhixun's mobile phone, Gu Xing also laughed out loud.
The main content of the post is two animated pictures. The first picture is taken from the second game of BP between RNG and SSG.
After Samsung chose to release Xia Luo, the RNG player bench was given a close-up screen.
Firefox was pacing behind Uzi, communicating something with his ADC. The caption of the animation was 'Can you play Xayah? Xayah is invincible'.
Uzi thought for a moment and shook his head. The subtitles changed to 'I don't know how'. Firefox walked away quickly, and the subtitles changed to 'Then choose a cannon'.
The author of Inven's post was worried that KR netizens wouldn't understand it, so he very considerately added a Korean translation for the subtitles.
Although Uzi's mouth shape is just right, to be honest, it is inevitably a bit embarrassing - after all, the coach will not ask players about their hero proficiency on the spot, so RNG must have been prepared not to play Xia Luo early on.
However, this animated picture was still hard to express, at least it made Gu Xing laugh.
If you eat it with the second animated picture, the laughing fruit will be even better.
The picture first showed SSG looking depressed after losing the first game, and everything in the picture entered the BP of the second game. When the three-star players and coaches saw that RNG ignored Xia Luo and insisted on playing small guns, their six faces turned into chrysanthemums. shape.
The contrast between the front and back is very sharp.
The comments on the Korean website below are even more true. Mr. Hou translated two of them when he saw his interest.
[Is this picture real or fake? Doesn’t Uzi know Xia? 】
[Yes, but I just don’t choose, hey, it’s just for fun! 】
[It’s hard to imagine, I really like his operation. The shooters in our division are too conservative in the lane, and they are really not as good as Uzi]
[What’s the use of light against the line? I think Uzi also wins! If you want to see pure personal strength, you can go to the Solo game]
[Coach Edgar is so strong that he dares to bet that if RNG can play Xia Luo, there is a high probability that it will win two games in a row. At that time, SSG will be in danger]
Gu Xing fully satisfied his curiosity and then lay down to take a nap.
Not long after, the entire VG team arrived at the Guangzhou Stadium at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.
The bus's dark paint and eye-catching fist logo immediately attracted many spectators from around.
"Brother Xing, come on, come on, you must win today!"
"You are the only ones left in the LPL. What will we do if you are eliminated too!"
"Whoa, whoa, RNG lost yesterday, my youth is over!"
"Why is it like the comments on the royal family's official blog, HZ quickly stopped, your youth is over before VG has been eliminated?"
"This B iron stringer, he also holds a VG support item in his hand, he is a hammer HZ!"
Gu Xing listened to the exchanges among the people around him, smiled and waved his hands, "Don't wait here. If you don't come in, there will be more people lining up to check in."
"I don't have a ticket, Brother Xing," a strong male fan responded, "I wanted to buy one last night, but I ended up getting scammed by scalpers!"
Someone around him immediately echoed, "The scalpers are really arrogant. I saw that RNG was still cursing after losing the game yesterday, saying that it was hard to sell tickets for the semi-finals because the LPL was like this!"
Everyone was filled with indignation.
"Ms. Gan Lin, this is why they raised the ticket price for this show to 1,200 yuan last night, right?! The normal purchase price is 280 yuan, and the scalpers tripled it to make up for all the subsequent losses!"
Good guy.
Grandstand tickets can be purchased for thousands of dollars?
It's hard to watch the big screen in that place. It's basically just a fun experience to go in and experience the atmosphere!
According to this situation, the infield is not allowed to start 5K?
Although Gu Xing was unhappy with the scalpers, he had nothing to do.
Because the unit responsible for selling tickets this year is Damai.
I understand everything.
"Then what should you do?" Gu Xing asked with concern as he walked towards the backstage passage.
"There is a big screen broadcast outside the venue. We are watching it here, and the sound can also be heard in the venue. Anyway, we just don't give money to scalpers!" The fans' attitude was very firm.
"Then be careful to prevent heatstroke. I think it's quite hot in Guangzhou at noon." Gu Xing waved goodbye to the supporters. When he entered the backstage passage, he found a VG staff member and transferred a sum of money to him to help him buy some cold drinks outside. To the enthusiastic fans waiting outside for the live broadcast of the game.
Then I settled down to sign in, submit the keyboard and mouse peripherals for official inspection, and proceed with the pre-match process in an orderly manner.
When everything was ready, VG members went to the lounge for a short meeting. Hongmi emphasized the BO5 tactics for this game.
"Mainly focus on the top and jungle, and tear Wunder's wound hard," he looked at Gu Xing, "No matter what method you choose, whether to break through from the middle or the jungle first, in the end, you must allocate resources to the top lane, so that Maibo can If we gain weight, we can win the game more easily!"
Gu Xing nodded in agreement, "I understand, I must make clear arrangements for the opposing top laner!"
Vincent knocked on the door and poked his head in, "Get ready, we're about to appear."
Hearing this, the players all checked whether the tissues and drinks they were about to bring to the stage were complete.
Gu Xing stood up.
"Everyone, listen to what the sales consultant has to say first!" Kuro continued to play the role of a follower, calling on his teammates to put aside what they were doing.
In fact, he didn't need to say anything, the team members would also focus on Gu Xing.
Throughout the entire season, Gu Xing has supported the team with practical actions and has long become the soul and absolute core of VG.
He called on all the players in the team to form a circle and each stretched out their right hands to join each other. "Everyone has been tired of talking about cheering for the past two days, but I still want to say..."
"Now we are not only burdened by personal and team performance pressure, but also the attention of all viewers in the entire competition region."
"Whether it is to avoid disappointing everyone who supports VG or to realize self-worth, we must win this BO5," Gu Xing glanced at the faces of each teammate and spoke in an extremely firm tone, "Our journey is impossible. Stop in Guangzhou!”
"You're right, bro, how can we only win the top eight in our first serious World Championship?" Jack groaned, "Brothers, come on! Come on VG!"
Everyone shouted in unison, not only giving confidence to their teammates, but also injecting strength into themselves.
…
"Welcome to Guangzhou Stadium!"
Ren Dong stood on the stage in a fiery red Tang suit, next to the Summoner's trophy on the high platform. Facing the tens of thousands of spectators in the stands in front, he said in a loud and high-pitched voice, "Good afternoon to all the Summoners on site and in the live broadcast room. What is about to begin is the third match day of the knockout round of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals."
"Let's invite the dueling parties to appear!"
He waved his hand, "First up is the number one seed from the European Division, G2 Esports!"
"Top laner Wunder, jungler Jankos, mid laner Perkz, bottom laner Imp support Beryl, as well as substitute player Madlife and head coach Youngbuck!"
Dry ice mist rose from the front of the stage, and seven G2 members took the elevator and appeared in front of everyone.
Goo Sung Bin, who is the shortest, squats at the front with his knees bent, arms tilted downwards like an eagle flapping its wings.
The rest of the players had different postures. Wunder, who was standing at the back and was responsible for the height of the team, stretched out his arms that could defend James and stretched them flat on both sides of his body.
Team Ginyu!
There were many old VG fans at the scene who were very familiar with this, and they immediately shouted loudly in the audience.
This was exactly what VG did when they faced ROX in the semifinals of the S6 World Championship. At this time, G2 turned on the Sharingan and stole it.
However, considering that G2 has Gu Shengbin, a former champion member of VG, the team's posture is a bit intriguing.
Many netizens in the live broadcast room were making wild guesses.
【What do you mean? G2 hinted that they are VG last year and are preparing to re-make and win the championship, right?]
[You know what the heck, it’s obviously a tribute to VG to show our close relationship]
[Maybe everyone is just being sentimental. G2 just wanted to link the whole flower work with Dragon Ball, and it happened to collide with the one used by VG before]
[This reason is pure nonsense. If others don’t know it, how can Imp know it? 】
[One thing to say, I am still more curious about VG’s appearance...]
Shortly after G2 came on the stage, Ren Dong shouted in a longer and more powerful voice, "Next, we invite Vici Gaming, the 2016 Global Finals champion and LPL No. 1 seed!"
There was thunderous applause, mixed with the deep bass of the support sticks and the loud screams of the fans.
"Top laner Smeb, jungler Virtue, mid laner Kuro, bottom laner Jackeylove assisting Caveman, as well as substitute Able and head coach Homme!"
Immortal Grip raised their voice again, and under the spray of dry ice mist, the elevator slowly carried the entire VG team to the stage.
The seven people did not make any moves at first.
Although the audience is disappointed, they can also accept Sister Li.
However, after the elevator stopped running and all VG members arrived on the stage, Song Jinghao and Gu Xing swung their arms and raised one leg at the same time, performing a strange left-right symmetrical dance.
Finally, the two of them ended up bending sideways, extending their hands and facing each other with their index fingers.
The place was buzzing with noise.
【What is the introduction? 】
[Fuck Dragon Ball Fusion! 】
[Gotenks vs. Ginyut! Unexpectedly, the protagonist of this quarterfinals match is actually Longzhu (Team). Little Peanut is probably going to die of joy]
[Awkward and good at the same time, VG’s live sparrow is top notch! 】
[It feels so numb, I see Kuro freaking out next to me]
In fact, Li Ruixing was envious and jealous.
He was very dissatisfied with Song Jinghao and Gu Xing's combined appearance.
Why not me?
Gu Xing had his own considerations.
Teaming up with Song Jinghao to pose in this posture corresponds to VG's tactical direction in this game.
Ueno combined!
The G2 players really didn't hold back.
Ju Shengbin's big teeth were sticking out, and he looked like a fat rat.
Ah P's face was filled with joy, obviously laughing at VG Ueno's awkwardness.
In the front row of the infield stands, Shen Guanshan stared at the stage and kept pressing the shutter of his phone, recording the moment with a smile.
Ren Dong's already rich voice, enhanced by the live sound effects, echoed in the ears of every audience.
"Heroes chase legends. Let's wait and see who will win the third semi-final ticket to Shanghai today!"
The camera focused on the shining silver Summoner's Trophy on the high platform, announcing the start of the quarterfinals!
The screen faded, and when the brightness rose again, the pre-match promotional video recorded by Riot Games was presented to everyone.
In the video, Gu Xing faced the camera with a stern expression, and his tiger's mouth completely covered the Canton Tower in the distance, which attracted bursts of cheers from countless spectators at the scene!
"No one can stop us," Gu Xing raised his chin with a defiant look on his face, "The same goes for G2. Any opponent who dares to stand in front of VG will only be eliminated."
The main tone up to this point has been quite serious.
Until the camera showed Gu Shengbin, the player who holds two S crowns said in a frivolous tone, "In this BO5, I will prove who was the absolute core of VG last year!"
"Without me, VG wouldn't be able to win the S championship again!"
Imp was as arrogant as ever, "When the game is over, I'm going to ask the salesperson whether it's more comfortable to play with Jie Kuo or with me..."
There was constant noise in the stands on all sides.
Gu Xing had just sat down and had not yet put on his headphones when he naturally heard Imp's words.
He finally understood what Gu Shengbin was laughing about that day.
Doesn't this guy know that this statement is ambiguous and can easily be misunderstood?
"Ah Yixi," Kuro's protective father said eagerly and angrily, "Is this kid Shengbin going too far? There is no pre-game interview with Jiang Ziwan. It is clearly content that should only appear in the trash talk session!"
Duan Deliang shook his head helplessly, "You have never been a teammate with him. We are almost used to Gu Shengbin's routine harsh words. If it weren't for that mouth, he wouldn't have been unable to survive in OGN."
Imp is a true all-round fanatic. When he offended a lot of OGN seniors and fan groups, he stood out as the only one in the world who dared not speak out.
It would be surprising if one day the interview didn't come out with some harsh words.
Gu Xing heard the voice of the baby on the commentary table, and just now put on the sound-isolating headphones at the urging of the referee.
Wawa has been in a state of flux these days. The LPL commentary team is in a lean year. Three people like Zeyuan, Wang Duoduo and Remember have only joined the team in the past two years, and it is impossible to play the leading role alone.
He and Miller have to step up in critical moments.
Four knockout games in four days, Wawa was too busy to keep his feet on the ground.
"Friends in the audience, can you please give VG a little more applause?" His voice was a little hoarse, but he couldn't hide his enthusiasm, and he was doing his best warm-up work.
"Today's game is very crucial. The loser will end their journey to the global finals. The last team left in the LPL on this world stage will face Galaxy Battleship G2, which has dominated the European arena for two years!"
Wawa took a deep breath and felt the hot atmosphere in the venue, "Don't forget the miracles VG has created throughout the previous year. You can always believe in VG. This is the pride of our LPL division. They will definitely turn the tide!"
Nine out of ten people who came to the scene were VC fans. The silver-white flags fluttered in the wind. The audience responded to the suggestions put forward by the dolls and shouted the name of the VG team in the stands. They were full of energy and set off a wave of people to create a deafening frenzy. Momentum.
In the English commentary box, Jatt heard the commotion from the stands behind him and couldn't help but chat with the guests around him.
"Peter, when you were in Wuhan, you could feel the flaming enthusiasm, right?"
The senior brother, who was wearing a tight-fitting team uniform that showed off his muscular body, shrugged, "Yes, the Chinese audience is really crazy... People always say that the fans of my TSM team are all over the world, no matter where I go. At home, but it’s really different in this World Championship.”
Jatt showed an expression of willingness to hear the details.
"You know, not only can VG get cheers by killing towers or removing eyes, but even if the camera shows Virtue during the group stage, the scene will make waves!" The senior brother put on an exaggerated expression when he spoke.
"It doesn't help that we wear sound-isolating headphones. Occasionally, external noise will still enter our ears through the microphone," Doublelift said in a joking tone. "After getting used to this kind of noise in the second round, my teammates and I sometimes pass it through This is a way to judge whether the on-site director will cut the camera to Virtue, and then use this to judge whether this guy is going to do something small again."
"But you still lost," Jatt mocked mercilessly, "and I remember you made harsh words during the pre-match interview in the second round of the group stage, saying that the other three teams in Group A were all rubbish, and then like Three consecutive defeats."
Mentioning the embarrassment, the senior brother's face remained unchanged, "That's right, I think the problem was in the first game that day. Our self-confidence was completely crushed by Virtue - I have to say, this guy is simply a monster. I doubt he can win the league with my brother, a noob."
Compared with the LPL commentators who are serious and restrained for fear of being criticized by fans, the commentary style of the English stream is obviously more open-minded.
The senior brother has become a frequent guest in the English stream of the World Championships. After being eliminated in every World Championship, he will quickly join the commentary booth.
Thanks to the fact that every time he enters the global finals, he wears trial equipment and can be eliminated in less than two weeks. Doublelift has been able to commentate on a lot of world events, and he has already mastered the self-deprecating routine.
Another commentator, Papa Smithy, joked about the LPL, "I never dreamed that so far in this World Championship, there would be more European teams on the stage than the LPL host!"
Neither the Rabbitohs nor G2 have been eliminated, and at least they look much better than the solitary LPL.
"I even doubt whether I want to dream back to the S5 World Championship. The LPL was even worse at that time. There was only one top eight team, EDG. But coincidentally, they also faced the No. 1 seed in the European Division. They were swept out by Fnatic. No. Do you know how the plot will unfold today?"
PapaSmithy is an old LPL fan. As the resident commentator of LCK, what he is best at is bragging about LCK teams.
During the TOP20 selection process, he pointed at Kuro, saying that he looked down on Li Ruixing, an unconventional mid laner.
You know, PapaSmithy was still bragging about Kuro during the S6 World Championship, believing that Li Ruixing had the opportunity to usher in a new era for the mid-range unit.
In just one year, the evaluation has experienced a polar reversal, and the main theme is the change of face.
"I think VG still has a good chance of winning today..." Just as the senior brother was about to explain his reasons, he heard a sonorous and powerful crisp sound coming from the earphones.
"BP has begun!"
"VG has the upper hand in the group stage rankings and has the priority to choose sides. In the first game, they got the blue side for themselves and sent Luo to the ban position first!"
This is also a regular ban for the blue side.
Rakan is very strong now, but not yet worth grabbing, but if you can't help but not grab it, you have to give all Phoenix Legends to the red side.
Therefore, Redmi thought for a long time before the game and still did not move this ban position.
After all, Imp+Beryl is not an RNG duo, so Xia Luo will definitely be able to do it.
G2 routinely sends skateboard shoes to the ban.
"VG then blocked Ryze, trying to limit Perkz, but G2 chose to block Jayce!"
Wunder's Jace can be taken out and used, but that's about it.
In terms of proficiency, he is still incomparable to the top laner from the LCK, known as the "Jayce Division".
In addition, the hero Jayce needs help from the jungler, and Jankos is not helping now. After much deliberation, G2 decided to ban it.
VG's third ban was to ban the small cannon, and G2 backhandedly pressed Feng Nu.
All are unsurprisingly routine.
"VG decided to take Kennen directly in the first grab. Let's see what G2 chooses..."
The hero selection voice in the stadium lingers.
My favorite color is spring!
The senior brother on the commentary stage widened his eyes, "Huh?!"
"Jade God?" He looked extremely surprised, "Jankos is going to do some sex work!"
