Since the second round of the group stage, Redmi has been plagued by a problem to this day.
How to use Kindred.
At the end of the summer season, VG got inspiration from the policewoman's three-step strategy tailored by Royal Family for Uzi, and developed Qian Jue's three-step strategy with Gu behavior as its absolute core.
The content is to let Gu Xing take advantage of the jungle's matchup advantage against the herbivorous jungler to break through the enemy's defense tower first and control the Canyon Herald.
Kuro, on the other hand, chooses a character that doesn't eat economy, such as Karma, and gives his army line to the jungler in the mid-term. Gu Xing uses the space created by pushing towers during the laning phase to go as crazy as he wants around the jungle and the army line. development!
The strategy was very reasonable at that time, and using Kindred in the jungle would not affect the balance of the overall lineup.
Because the top laner was a tank at that time, the team still had a front row and a group starting point.
However, after the second round of the S7 group stage, the evolution of the version led to a huge change in the top lane environment, from the original tank role to a long-handed single belt hero.
Whether Qian Jue's three-step move will be available on the stage soon becomes unknown!
After the change in the top lane environment, the most frank heroes among the mainstream heroes available are semi-meaty characters like Gnar and Shen.
To be fair, it is not qualified as a pure front row, and cannot provide a good output space for Kindred in team battles.
And now it is difficult for them to join the group in the front for a long time.
Because the opponent's top laner will frantically split-push the side lanes to exert pressure, which was unimaginable when tanks were rampant. In order to protect their own defense towers, top laners have to shift a lot of energy to the side lanes.
In this way, if VG selects Qian Jue, it will be like the selection of Cuishen jungler in the first game of G2 in the quarter-finals, which lacks the front row of the front battlefield. Once it is at a disadvantage, it will not even have vision!
Hongmi has been puzzled for a long time and has been thinking about solutions.
During this period, I thought about letting Duan Deliang play heroes like Tahm Kench, but I gave up in the end.
Just because support Tahm Kench is not a front row player in the traditional sense.
As a platoon-protecting hero, it must stand next to the output position that needs protection. It must be in the second row or even further back in the formation. Otherwise, if it dies after taking excessive damage while standing at the front, it will no longer be able to protect it. teammate!
If Hongmi can't think of a countermeasure, it's like losing a trump card!
If VG hadn't defeated G2 in the quarterfinals, he probably wouldn't have been able to sleep well.
Who would have thought that watching the Rabbitohs' game today would lead to unexpected gains!
The characters selected by Ignar, such as Robot and Leona, are all auxiliaries that have both team-starting and front-row functions, and can serve as the team's human shield.
Perfect solution to your red rice needs!
He had an instant epiphany.
The original lineup composition of Qian Jue's three-step move is tank top laner + incense burner mid laner + late-stage shooter and melee protection support.
After the improvement, the double C type remains unchanged, the top unit changes from a tank to a long-handed single belt type, and the support role changes from a simple row protection role to a group-opening hard support.
Of course, after the lineup construction mode is changed, the overall output capability will be stronger. Since the wing is replaced by a single hero with stronger offensive capabilities, the upper limit of the operation in the mid-to-late period will also be increased accordingly.
But the disadvantage is that the front row is not as hard as before.
After all, the auxiliary position without sufficient financial support is definitely not as good as the top laner.
"Leona and Alistar," Hongmi quickly found options that could make up for the shortcomings and added to the previous instructions, "You can focus on practicing these two heroes in the sales segment."
The double resistance bonus of Sunshine Girl's W and the damage reduction of Minotaur's ultimate move are both methods that can directly improve tankiness!
Even if you have poor financial support as an auxiliary, you can still support the team in the front row!
Duan Deliang nodded solemnly and agreed.
"It's his grandma's fault. In the end, SKT made it to the semi-finals..." Jack muttered.
Regardless of the strength, once the name SKT is put in front of people, ordinary people will not dare to underestimate it!
Jack is eager to face MSF, as the semifinals will undoubtedly be much easier.
"It's almost done," Gu Xing comforted, "What's the use of complaining for a long time? You can't go back in time and space to let the Rabbit Team win."
"Besides, it's a good thing for us that SKT was forced into a desperate situation," he was very optimistic. "Didn't everyone think before the game that they would sweep the Rabbitohs 3-0? Now they are almost eliminated. It has far exceeded expectations.”
"After forcing SKT into a desperate situation, everyone can see that this team really has no trump cards and relies entirely on basic operations to support its progress. It is enough for us to be able to grasp this information."
Kuro nodded in agreement, "Shu Gu is right!"
If SKT holds the trump card, they will definitely use it to secure promotion after losing the match point at 1:2.
But they are still doing the same old thing. A group of players choose the guaranteed ranking system, and the team battle revolves around Bang and gives the ball to Pei Junzhi.
As for why SKT failed to think of any trump cards in the one and a half months after winning the Summer Championship, it is really puzzling.
However, everyone in VG does not need to think about the opponent's situation.
After the Rabbits found out the details of SKT, they had no scruples!
"Let me put it into perspective, SKT's players' style of play is quite suitable for this Incense Burner version."
Hongmi gave high praise, "Huni, the top laner, is a good player in the single lane. Blank is becoming more and more stupid, and his playing style is relatively conservative. His style of play emphasizes vision control and map resource control; Faker needs not to be talked about. , a top mid laner with both offense and defense, who can perform brilliantly whether as a tool player or a magic core. The bot lane wolf stick is originally biased toward stable development in the lane, and will be more effective in team battles..."
The five positions are very suitable for the current environment. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a version team!
"It's a pity that the strength of the team members is a little inferior," Gu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said briskly, "It's far behind compared to the previous two years."
Although 96line's state is not as good as before, it is still online overall and can be regarded as the top mid-to-lower combination in the world.
The problem mainly lies with the two Ueno brothers.
Top laner Huni bullies the weak and fears the strong. In terms of personal strength, he is not ranked among the Korean top laners.
Among the teams sent by the LCK to participate in the World Championship this year, Khan and Cuvee are much better than him, and Huni is pure and last!
As for the jungle, Xiao Heiqiao secretly learned a few tricks from the veteran Benji, and gradually grew up under Kkoma's careful transformation and training.
But compared to world-class junglers, the upper limit is too low.
Generally speaking, it is too mechanical and has rigid thinking and does not know how to adapt.
It lacks so much spirituality.
Against a novice team, Xiao Hei can win with a mediocre performance, but once he collides with a top team, he will definitely suffer a setback!
"That's right," Hongmi nodded repeatedly, "so my idea is to continue to attack the jungle in the semi-finals and try to break through the two!"
"Isn't this exactly the same plan as the G2 game?" Jack said carelessly with his hands behind his head.
"Our main attack point remains the same, but the details are still different," Hongmi explained. "G2's bottom lane duo has good offensive capabilities during the laning phase, so we originally arranged for you and Pin Duan to defend. "
"But SKT is different."
"Wolf Bang and the two are very conservative during the laning phase, and will not initiate active duels unless necessary." Hongmi looked at his team in the bottom lane and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Since the opponent wants to develop steadily, then we will be satisfied. Their wishes.”
Just when Yu Wenbo was filled with questions, he heard Hongmi continue: "It's time to reveal the card that Able has researched."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"Wonderful!" Duan Deliang became more energetic, "Let's try to disgust SKT to death!"
Jack smiled too.
In his mind, he imagined the look of horror on the faces of the Wolf Sticks when they were ambushed by his own tactics, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.
Song Jinghao looked at his jungler and said, "You will definitely have to..."
"I know," Gu Xing waved his hand, "I will definitely help you catch him, but the final result depends on you!"
The team's main attack direction has been determined, and he must take more care of the top lane.
After receiving Gu Xing's promise, Smeb breathed a sigh of relief and felt confident.
"Everyone, lie down and wait for me next week. Let's see if I can fuck Huni to pieces!" He shouted loudly.
"That's it," Yu Wenbo also said wildly, "SKT is a god and a devil? If it hadn't been for this piece of shit like fist to cut Draven, I wouldn't have even needed 20 minutes to push him to the base!"
Ding Jun just opened the door and walked in carrying drinks and snacks for entertainment on the bus tomorrow. He heard the team members' heroic words and immediately joined in happily.
"Come on, come on, the Bird's Nest is still waiting for us!" He waved his fist, "I will give you a bonus if you win SKT, so please give me a little effort!"
Everyone in the training department burst into laughter when they heard that there was money to be made by winning the competition.
"It's agreed," Kuro asked the boss again for confirmation, "Nico, don't go back on your word!"
Ding Jun was very free and easy, "Of course, am I short of this little money?"
"If you regret it, wouldn't you be a bad guy?"
The training room was full of laughter.
Gu Xing has been in a good mood recently. He has studied SKT's weaknesses and solved the problem of Kindred's three-step move based on the Rabbitohs' play style. Everything is going smoothly.
However, when he took the high-speed train to Shanghai the next day, facing the other two participating teams in the same competition area, he didn't want to be too arrogant, so his expression calmed down a lot.
"Just laugh if you want to, stop pretending!" Ming Kai was very annoyed when he saw him looking like he was about to choke.
Gu Xing smiled sheepishly and changed the topic, "Are you going back today too?"
"Yes, they have all been eliminated. Why are you still hanging around here?" Xiangguo rolled his eyes, "When I go back to Shanghai, I just go to the base to pack my luggage, and then go back to each house to find each mother!"
Gu Xing put his arm around his shoulders affectionately, "What do you mean, do you want to go to the Bird's Nest to watch our performance in the finals?"
"Tch, you are a bank loan person, right? Let's beat SKT first!" Although Liu Shiyu said he was disgusted, he was quite moved in his heart and planned to go back to Gu Xing to ask for a ticket.
The noise gradually started not far away, and when Gu Xing took a closer look, he realized that it was Liu Qingsong who was having a fight with Jin Gong.
Gimgoon, who had thick black hair and wore black-rimmed glasses, shouted "Siba" and firmly pinched the back of Liu Qingsong's fateful neck with his palms.
Lin Weixiang stood beside him and was beaming with joy.
Also watching the excitement was Shi Senming, but his expression was not as relaxed and comfortable as his friends. He seemed to be still immersed in the shadow of losing in the quarterfinals.
Members of the LPL division are not the only ones leaving Guangzhou today.
The other three LCK teams that entered the semifinals also gathered together, in addition to G2.
This Galactic battleship from the European Division planned to travel to Shanghai and other places. After finally making the trip, there was no way to go back home at the speed of light.
Jankos came over and punched Gu Xing hard on the chest, "I must win in the semifinals. This can be regarded as helping me fulfill my long-cherished wish."
Defeating SKT should be the goal of many professional players when they debut.
It's a pity that Xiaoyang has not yet achieved it.
In the S6 Global Finals, which was the closest to victory, Jankos barely managed to cause some trouble for SKT with the help of Gu Xing, but he still failed to succeed by one move.
This year, he was sniped by VG in the quarterfinals and missed the opportunity to meet SKT. Jankos regretted it.
Ju Shengbin also came to cheer them up, "Brother Meng, it's up to you to take down SKT. You must crush the baskets on the opposite side!"
"Don't worry," Gu Xing promised, patting his chest, "I'll take care of this. I can definitely crush SKT!"
Perkz eagerly stepped forward and extended the invitation, "Virtue, we are going to have a party when the season ends. Are you interested in coming to play with us?"
Gu Xing was confused, "What do you mean?"
At this moment, he recalled that the Big Bird bar that Perkz had taken Imp to before felt like it was not a good place.
Ah P pulled him aside furtively, "Every time the transfer period comes, I will book a swimming pool and invite everyone to come and play for two days to exchange information."
Gu Xing understood clearly and revealed the truth in one sentence.
"You still want to drag me to G2?"
Perkz's motive was exposed, and he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Hey, as long as you come here, I can't learn Kuro's gameplay and let you be the absolute core. I didn't do this before, mainly because Jankos is not very good."
This sentence was not heard by the little sheep.
But Li Ruixing happened to be passing by.
His English is very limited, but it is not difficult to understand his ID.
"What the hell?!" Li Ruixing asked Gu Xing curiously, not understanding what they were communicating.
Gu Xing repeated the story, and Kuro immediately became anxious, "You want to poach me again, right?"
Two mid laners who had played against each other in the quarterfinals came to reality from the canyon, and Gu Xing took the opportunity to escape.
After looking at the phone twice, he stood in a remote corner of the waiting room.
Not long after, he saw his girlfriend, and he waved quickly.
"Take this," Gu Xing handed the bag to Shen Guanshan, "Go to the car and take a few bites to fill your stomach."
"What is it?" Shen Guanshan opened the bag and took a look.
"White Swan's Shaqima is quite famous," Gu Xing smiled, "I guess you are not in the mood to find a good restaurant here in Guangzhou, so I just packed some for you."
Shen Guanshan's childhood experience shows that he doesn't have much need for food. When he is not eating with the Gu family brothers and sisters, he basically just eats a few bites.
But now that my boyfriend is feeding me food, I still narrow my eyes in satisfaction.
"Thank you..." Shen Guanshan smiled, "Originally I wanted to buy a first-class seat with you, but all the tickets were sold out."
Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, "There are so many people?"
There were at least over a hundred seats in the two first-class carriages. After some calculations, he felt that even the staff of several teams combined could not fill the seats.
"It's not just you," Shen Guanshan pointed out to him, "Did you see the group of people in front wearing fist commemorative shirts? They are all employees from the North American headquarters, and they are also going to Shanghai."
Shen Guanshan got the information from his old colleague Flavia, who came to Guangzhou this time to contact Riot employees.
Gu Xing looked along his girlfriend's finger and saw a pile of heads.
Riot Games is quite generous this time, as it spends its own money to take employees on a team building trip.
"The person looking down at her phone over there is Chunli, who is responsible for version updates and patches. When we were working on the actual installation, we had to hold online meetings with him every two weeks. Due to the time difference, we had to stay up late and work overtime..." Shen Guanshan Introduce and complain at the same time.
As a Chinese, Chunli could understand Chinese and looked up after hearing this.
Gu Xing and I looked at each other, and they nodded and said hello. They both knew that their respective identities were a bit sensitive, so it was not convenient for them to talk.
Chunli lowered her head and continued to look at her phone, which contained a bunch of data about VG.
After reading through it, he sighed helplessly.
Before leaving to return to China, Chunli thought that the incense burner system was not compatible with VG. The defending champion was able to gain an advantage mainly because it was the first to discover the version answer and win at the starting line.
Who would have imagined that after entering the quarterfinals, the playing field environment suddenly changed drastically!
The top laner began to emphasize the long-handed single belt, and the middle laner became a tool man!
Doesn’t this play into VG’s hands? !
In the tank top laner + spell core mid lane version, VG can be unfavorable. Now that the environment matches their own style, Chunli can't even imagine how strong VG will be!
There is no way!
He felt unhappy, and the female colleague who was working on Twitter next to him was still muttering, "Virtue is so handsome, hey, hey, I hope I can win another championship, so that I can openly ask for autographs. Edit a tweet first and vote." Warm up for the semi-finals..."
Chunli clicked on Riot Official Twitter and saw the content of the tweet.
[Virtue VS Faker, who is the best League of Legends professional player on the planet? Let us wait and see the arrival of the semi-finals! ]
Below the text are photos of the two of them in final makeup, and there are also voting buttons for selection.
Without thinking, Chunli cast her vote in the column supporting Gu Xing.
After Gu Xing got in the car, he also saw Riot's tweet when he looked at his phone.
In just a few dozen minutes, the number of netizens who participated in voting exceeded the 10,000 mark!
The traffic of the S7 World Championship and two top e-sports stars can be seen!
Gu Xing's approval rate currently stands at 55.0%, slightly ahead of Lee Sang Hyuk.
The comments below are mixed.
[The answer is obvious. Since his debut, Virtue has frequently refreshed various championship records previously set by Faker. He is definitely the stronger one]
[Faker has 2 world championships and 6 league championships. Will Virtue chase him? 1>2 inequalities are all here, right]
[Hehe, some fans are really tough. They beat you in a BO5 in the finals last year, and now they can brag about Faker.]
[Isn’t that the gap in the jungle caused by the stupid chicken? If you have the ability, Virtue will switch to mid lane]
[It’s really awesome. Why don’t you let Lee Sang Hyuk switch to jungle? 】
Gu Xing couldn't help but laugh. He scrolled down Riot's Twitter and saw Riot's comments about the final quarter-finals match yesterday.
[Although defeated, it is still glorious? Is MSF the strongest European team in this global finals? ]
The Rabbitohs' team logo and group photo are shown below. Looking at the number of comments and likes, Gu Xing knew that this tweet was unprecedentedly popular.
[Die standing properly! I don’t know how much better it is than La Kua G2! 】
[It's a pity, it's just one step away... POE, why do you have to push down the road to the high ground! 】
[Robot, War Zeal Leona...MSF shows the creativity from the EU to the world]
[Thanks to MSF, the European division has regained its dignity. The 2:3 loss to SKT was an unexpected result]
[The last roar from EU! Just wait, one day, teams from Europe will take over the Rabbitohs' unfulfilled wish and crush SKT to pieces! 】
Gu Xing liked this tweet.
The high morale of the Rabbitohs to fight to the death is truly admirable.
He doesn't mind giving SKT a heavy blow for MSF!
Next is his turn!
The train slowly arrived in Shanghai, which also marked the beginning of the semi-finals!
Damn it, BLG!
Cheers Bilibili!
