Chapter 190 Chapter 189: Battle with Samsung!
The next day, Gu Xing packed his suitcase and boarded a flight to Chicago with other members of the VG training department.
There are 7 other teams traveling with him, plus some Riot staff, which is almost like chartering the plane.
From San Francisco on the west coast of the United States to Chicago in the central part of the United States, the distance between the two places is 3,400 kilometers and the flight time is nearly 5 hours.
Gu Xing found his seat and was about to hang up his headphones when he saw Jankos leaning over.
"What's going on?"
Gu Xing didn't know why. As far as he knew, they were basically sitting together on the same team. The Oud's reflective brain was clearly visible in the front row. H2K's seats should be near there.
"Virtue duck..." Jankos muttered quietly, "Do you have any training match arrangements when we get to Chicago?"
Only then did Gu Xing remember.
SSG and ROX, who usually have a good relationship, are assigned to the same half zone, so there will definitely be no way to fight.
VG can only find a few teams in the top half.
"Not yet," Gu Xing guessed Jankos's thoughts and also lowered his voice, "How many dates do you want to have?"
Jankos nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, the more training matches the better."
They are very optimistic about VG's ability in the group stage, and everyone from the coach to the players wants to learn something.
When they were in San Francisco, the two teams occasionally met for games, but the frequency was not particularly high.
Now that Jankos finally caught the opportunity of the VG team training spot being vacant, he naturally wanted to get close to Gu Xingtou.
"I'll ask Hongmi later..." Gu Xing didn't dare to confirm.
The average strength of the four teams in the upper half is obviously not as good as the lower half where VG is located.
However, with the defending champion SKT, VG may not have to play too many games with H2K.
However, as soon as we got off the plane, Hongmi reported a piece of bad news.
SKT refuses to hold training matches with VG!
As usual, there are basically two possibilities for refusing a training match.
One is that they think the other party is too weak. There is no need to fight with them, and the team will not get much help.
VG, who once double-killed SKT in Group A, is definitely not included in this list.
That leaves one reason.
Kkoma regards VG as a strong opponent in this World Championship and feels that they have hope of breaking out of the bottom half. They are preparing for the finals by not scheduling a training match so as not to reveal their tactics!
Hongmi was quite irritated.
The LCK league teams with the strongest overall strength are all unable to compete due to various reasons.
The effect of training matches is bound to decline!
Gu Xing promptly informed Jankos of his request for a fight.
"H2K?" Hongmi thought for a moment and agreed, "I can't find a better choice right now, and their strength is not low."
After all, he is also No. 1 in the group and there are star players in the team.
Hongmi seriously warned the players, "We must take it seriously and not be too lazy... If we can't get an appointment with the LCK team, we have to work hard to make up for the quality."
When Gu Xing left the airport, he was still using his mobile phone to take pictures and record the scenery of Chicago.
As a result, I didn’t take any photos, but the wind was very strong, and it lived up to the nickname of the Windy City.
Entering mid-October, the daytime temperature in Chicago was around 15°C, and the howling wind made the face hurt. Gu Xing and his teammates put on their thin coats, took a simple group photo, and hurriedly entered the bus. .
Perhaps because they were worried about the safety of Chicago, Riot Games had no intention of letting team players travel alone. Instead, they packed them into a hotel and stated that they must also follow the arrangements for group activities during the filming of the promotional video.
Running to the Golden Gate Bridge to watch the reverse sunrise like we did in San Francisco probably won’t happen again.
However, the eight teams that entered the knockout rounds obviously did not have time to go sightseeing, and were ready to join the training as soon as they stepped into the hotel.
Hongmi has a full schedule every day, and the intensity is even higher than during the group stage.
Among them, H2K became VG’s main team training target.
Originally, Redmi only regarded them as a substitute for the LCK division.
After practicing hard for two days, I discovered that the quality of the training matches was surprisingly high!
What H2K is best at is attacking in the early stage. After the group stage, the entire team's average economic lead in the first 15 minutes per game was as high as 1557!
In this statistic, H2K is ahead of the world's top teams. Jankos' violent play style can always make achievements in the early stages, tearing apart the opponent's defense and delivering a fatal blow.
Although his abilities in the middle and late stages are somewhat lacking, he is prone to making mistakes if he is too impatient.
But you must know that most training games are played in the early and mid-term!
The pressure H2K brought to VG in the training matches was no less than that of a fierce tiger like ROX!
Hongmi looked at the data chart analysis sent by Xie Tunan's team from the other side of the ocean, her face turned from gloomy to clear, and she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
What a treasure.
H2K attacked wildly in the early stage, forcing VG to speed up.
From the perspective of offensive efficiency, VG is gradually improving, moving closer to the opponent little by little to adapt to the overly fierce offensive!
This is exactly what Hongmi meant.
Having played many training matches with SSG before, he knows that his old club's current operating philosophy has become an iron turtle focusing on defensive counterattacks.
The most restrained way of playing against Samsung is to continuously attack, create an early advantage, and then slowly turn it into a victory through map control and neutral resource control!
In the group stage, H2K always did a good job in the early stages of the game, and their ability to end the game in the mid-to-late stage was due to their strength. In the first round, they were only overturned once by Samsung.
But VG is very proficient in this!
Hongmi felt that if this continued, he would almost be able to grab SSG's seven inches.
He turned to emphasize, "Let's not just practice the early attack, but wait until the later stage to try with H2K, make a fuss around the baron and ancient dragon, and get familiar with the ability of 5V5 team battles."
Team fighting is VG’s unique skill.
Several players have a very keen sense of team battle, and their division of labor is very clear.
A sharp knife like Gu Xing always cuts into the formation at just the right time and can pose a terrifying threat to the enemy's back row.
The double C bead combination complements each other.
Hou Ye is more stable, while Gu Shengbin is more radical.
Imp's forward movement can effectively attract skills and create a good output environment for the mid laner.
Xiao Duan and Long Ge were responsible for protecting and rushing into the formation, and they fulfilled their duties perfectly.
The five players are like gear parts, each performing their own duties and driving the VG machine to be invincible in team battles!
In comparison, H2K seems too immature.
As long as they are evenly matched and enter the team battle stage, they will always be pulled by VG until they have no ability to resist, and defeat will be a common occurrence!
Hongmi deliberately let the players use their team fighting skills, not necessarily to ravage the opponent.
Seeing that the training match achieved the desired results, he didn't mind teaching two moves to his opponents to help H2K improve his late-stage capabilities.
Everyone at H2K knew Hongmi’s intentions, so they worked extra hard and were full of fighting spirit after repeated defeats.
Although Europe and the United States have always been known for their optimistic LOL, no team wants to end their journey entering the knockout stage.
His career is too short, and no one knows whether he will still be able to stand on this stage next year.
Jankos cherishes this opportunity very much.
After the group stage, netizens listed him together with Gu Xing and Xiaohuahua, known as the three new generation wild kings of the S6 World Championship.
But he knew it.
Peanut and Virtue are the real geniuses.
Born in 1995, I have already reached the 21-year-old mark. I am already at my peak in the League of Legends e-sports circle. How can I be called a new generation?
If we really want to compare, Jankos is the same age as Imp, who looks like he has lost the childishness he once had.
Gu Shengbin has come to the World Championship for the fourth consecutive year, and he has only entered the global finals for the first time.
This year's version is just right for a carnivorous jungler like him. If it is abandoned, Jankos feels that he will regret it for the rest of his life!
During the training matches, he even pulled Gu Xing to ask questions.
"How on earth did VG win that extra round?" Jankos came to the VG training room during dinner time, carrying a piece of the famous local deep-dish pizza in his hand, and sat down next to Gu Xing and asked curiously, "You Can you teach me? ”
After the recent training matches, H2K's mid-to-late teamfighting capabilities have been significantly enhanced.
Although there is still a big gap between VG and VG, it is not one-sided and can finally fight back in a balanced situation!
Jankos has built up a lot of confidence.
He doesn't think much of RNG, which is facing off in the quarterfinals, and has already begun to study its opponents in the semifinals.
If he can overthrow SKT in BO5, Jankos believes that his first trip to the World Championship will be perfect!
Gu Xing thought for a moment.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the overall strength of the upper and lower halves of this year's quarterfinals is not at the same level.
SKT is composed of European and American teams and RNG, which has just figured out its system and is in a mess.
After watching the lottery ceremony, many SKT fans opened champagne at domestic and foreign forums to celebrate their home team's entry into the finals in advance!
Gu Xing didn't want them to pass through so easily.
If VG wants to fight its way out of the lower half, it will have to be peeled off and some of its tactics will be exposed for the opponent to study.
If SKT reaches the finals with sheer strength alone and doesn't have to expose any hidden tricks, wouldn't it make a huge profit?
Gu Xing made up his mind and stopped hiding his secrets, "Let me explain in advance, this trick is only useful against stupid chickens."
"He likes to organize the three lines of troops and create sufficient space for his teammates to develop..."
He told the general idea of Wild King Eimy.
Jankos frowned, showing an expression of disbelief, "Really or not, is it that simple?"
The legendary Rubicon master?
"Of course these alone are not enough," Gu Xing added, "In fact, the core of defeating the stupid version of SKT is to suppress the development of double C."
"As long as the economic level of Bang and Faker can be made to fall behind, this team will be very, very, very uncomfortable. Duke prefers to sideline rather than fight head-on, giving indirect pressure by pushing the sidelines..."
"Like ROX, their double C is more stable and developed. Smeb and Peanut can solve many problems on the frontal battlefield. SKT cannot play this set. Essentially, it still relies on the traditional team of double C."
Gu Xing took a slice of pizza from Jankos' hand, and when he put it into his mouth, he felt that the bottom of the pizza was crispy, soft and filled with the aroma of butter, and the cheese on top protected by tomato puree also tasted tempting.
After pulling out a bag of potato chips and giving them to him in return, he continued.
"And we must improve our ability to end the game. SKT is not the kind of team that collapses in the early stage and then sends out a team to prepare for the next game. It is very resilient... If it is held back by SKT in the mid-term operation, wait for their key C-position equipment Taking shape, SKT is still very strong in team battles.”
This is Gu Xing’s personal experience.
If they encounter a team with poor finishing ability in the late stage, SKT can drag it on forever.
In the mid-term, relying on Faker and Duke's 131-point push is very disgusting. It can create space and gather development as quickly as possible. Once the double-C equipment is formed, almost no team can compete with them!
Jankos took Gu Xing's warning to heart and didn't even bother to eat pizza. He left the VG training room in a daze with a little enlightenment.
In the few days before arriving in Chicago, Gu Xing, except for filming Riot's top eight promotional video, stayed in the hotel and practiced hard.
During this period, the rankings of accounts on the US server continued to rise.
As the home base of Riot Games, the server quality is very average. If the King's goalkeeper is strong enough to compete in the Korean server, it would be difficult to even compete with a Master.
After Gu Xing arrived in Chicago, his score skyrocketed. The account 'PatrickStar1210' rose to seventh place in the US server, becoming the second best player in the World Championship.
The first is Jack.
Yu Wenbo plays very few training games, and can basically get about one game a day. The rest of the time, when he is bored, he will try his best to score points.
In a total of one month in the United States, he was able to play 443 ranked games. He played more than ten games every day to maintain his touch, and his ranking was second in the US server!
"Chicago is so cool, isn't it?" Jack sucked a milkshake and leaned on the bed comfortably, "I feel like my clothes have become much smoother!"
"Quie," Gu Xing rummaged through the suitcase without looking back, "after all, the ping value is low."
Unlike the Chinese servers that are popping up everywhere, the US servers now have only one server.
Located in Chicago, in the middle of the United States.
When I was in San Francisco, due to the physical distance from the server location, the ping value of the US server was basically around 57.
When I came to Chicago, the delay instantly dropped to 22 milliseconds!
The difference in ping values before and after is a full 35!
Gu Xing is not a superman, but he can personally feel the reduction in latency.
Such obvious changes make the operation smoother.
For players at the strongest King level, the improvement effect is quite significant!
This is one of the reasons why Gu Xing and Jack's scoring efficiency has been increasing steadily since they came to Chicago.
Yu Wenbo lamented his hot ranking status, and then turned his attention to Gu Xing, who was squatting in front of him and rifling through the suitcase, "Old Gu, what are you doing?"
"Look for the team uniforms, or you won't be able to wear them for tomorrow's game." Gu Xing responded. He was a little irritated because he had not yet solved the problem, so he simply poured out everything in the suitcase.
"Didn't you bring a lot of clothes with you before coming to the United States?" Yu Wenbo felt confused. "Logically speaking, one piece of clothing every day would be enough for you to wear for half a month..."
He glanced at the items Gu Xing poured out of the box, and wisely said nothing more.
In front of you are various team uniforms, neatly folded.
C9 with Baidu Cloud logo, G2 with Black Knight style, pure white SSG with Samsung shield logo...
"Good guy," Jack was stunned, "How many team uniforms have you changed, Lao Gu?"
"22 pieces," Gu Xing was still looking for the VG team logo among the colorful team uniforms, "I changed more on the last day in San Francisco."
Yu Wenbo used his hands to pull.
He counted carefully and found that all 15 teams' uniform styles were in place, and there was no shortage of anything.
There is a piece of SKT team uniform that is very fat, and it looks like it is from Wolf.
Fortunately, the team uniforms are all lightweight and short-sleeved, so they don’t take up much space when stacked.
"My dear... you must be a bit of a stamp collector," Yu Wenbo said to Gu Xing sincerely when he saw those familiar IDs who had either been eliminated or who also came to Chicago, "If you still have a team uniform to wear, that's not normal, right? ”
Changing team uniforms is not for nothing. They always exchange and take photos together, and sometimes even leave an autograph on the team uniforms.
When Jack thought about it, he knew that most of the team uniforms Gu Xing brought to the United States were given to other players.
"I just want to keep good memories. Some of the players may not have the chance to meet each other in the future. Looking back, I will have regrets in the future. I didn't expect that I had to change out so much that I almost had no clothes to wear..." Mr. Gu breathed a sigh of relief. , pulled out the only remaining VG team uniform from the corner.
He usually has two more, which is enough for rotation.
I felt relieved and quickly cleaned up the dirty clothes. After washing, I lay on the bed and chatted with my girlfriend's parents.
Today, Gu Xing's first salary after supplementing the terms was paid to his bank card. Including the small game MVP bonus, the after-tax figure is as high as 350,000.
Originally he wanted to transfer half of it to his family, but his parents said that the money was enough and asked him to keep it. They just warned him not to spend it arbitrarily.
Gu Xing agreed and planned to choose a better house when he returned to China, so that he and Gu Pan would no longer have to squeeze into a small cubicle.
Shen Guanshan answered the video call and made a routine to ensure Gu Xing's personal safety, fearing that her boyfriend might encounter a robbery or zero-dollar purchase case in Chicago, a city with simple folk customs.
Then I told him about the interesting things that happened when he was in school, and I didn't forget to cheer him up and let him perform well in the game tomorrow.
Gu Xing waved goodbye to his girlfriend. Seeing that it was not yet time to go to bed at three in the morning, he simply ran to the forum and continued surfing.
From the end of the group stage to the start of the quarterfinals tomorrow, there will be a four-day truce period.
Bored netizens can only do their own thing, or bring e-sports news for discussion.
Gu Xing saw a post from an off-site event - [Shocked! Virtue actually had a private meeting with a group of well-known players late at night】
He thought it was the UC editorial department, so he clicked in to see how he was arranged.
As a result, I saw pictures one after another.
It was searched and integrated from the Twitters of various external clubs.
Inside, Gu Xing held up another team's uniform and faced the camera side by side with the stars of other teams, smiling brightly.
At the end of the group stage, the official posts of each club also recalled and summarized this precious time. A large number of photos of the players were uploaded to the Internet, including photos of exchanging team uniforms.
The author of the post used the title to trick people into coming in, and there is a paragraph in the follow-up text, [I looked through the photo area of all the teams, and found that Xiao Gu is 100% in the group, and his appearance rate is higher than that of Faker, which is ridiculous! 】
The comments section below is buzzing with activity.
【Why is Xiao Gu everywhere?】
[Sister Li, the jungle is like this, so it is reasonable for the group participation rate to be high, right? 】
[Xiao Gu’s appearance conditions are simply unreasonable in the world championships. Every time he takes a photo, he wins for height or face. It’s really Qin Shihuang who defeated Tyson - he won with boxing]
[After Virtue retires, can he hold a class on interpersonal communication? I think Xiangguo can learn from it]
[I saw a group photo of the new generation of junglers! 】
Gu Xing clicked on the last comment, which also contained a picture.
A little peanut with grandma-gray hair stood at the front. He and Jankos were tall and slightly behind.
The three of them compared scissorhands to the camera with bright smiles.
He saved the original picture and exited to look at other content.
Someone opened a post to predict the final results of the three LPL teams in this World Championship.
Most Kangba netizens believe that VG can achieve the expected goal of public opinion before the game - reaching the semi-finals will be considered successful.
In their view, Samsung is a paper tiger.
In the second round, they were forced into a desperate situation by ANX and almost failed to qualify. This team looked very weak and did not seem to be able to provide much hindrance to VG.
Also predicted to reach the semi-finals is RNG.
When Royal Family faced off against H2K, netizens generally looked down on Ryu and believed that RNG's players in the five positions were all good. As long as they performed well, they would have a high chance of entering the semi-finals!
As for EDG, basically no one is optimistic that they can go further.
There is no way, the results in the group stage are really too bad, Destiny has to appear second in the group, coupled with the stable attributes of the top eight, and Deft and Clearlove, two players who can perform exceptionally well in the World Championship without stretching their hips, it seems It's not very reliable.
The pure passers-by analyzed it rationally and suddenly became happy.
[The top four can have two LPLs. Isn’t this much better than S5? 】
[That’s for sure. I’d be quite satisfied if we could have two semi-finals. We can be considered as returning to the second division]
[It’s a pity that it’s hard to have a civil war, otherwise it wouldn’t be nice to secure a spot in the finals]
[Then next year will be the most promising year for LPL again! 】
Gu Xing was put in a happy mood by the optimistic quotes from netizens. He set the alarm clock and fell asleep, preparing for the game against Samsung the next day.
It has only been four months since he started his professional career. He is now more and more accustomed to this kind of life. He is no longer as ignorant as when he first participated in the LPL Summer Split. His actions before the game are very orderly and regular.
After getting up refreshed, I went to clean up my personal hygiene, changed into my team uniforms, went to the training room to use customized hand heating, and reviewed various charts provided by the data team.
When the time is almost up, pull off the peripheral cables, eat some banana chocolate to replenish energy, and head to the top eight venues under Vincent's guidance.
After carrying his bag, Gu Xing just left the training room and before leaving the corridor, he met Smeb wearing slippers.
He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to cheer the opponent, "Don't let me down, we don't want to miss you in the semi-finals."
"Okay," Gu Xing reached out and fist bumped with Smeb, "I'll see you in the semifinals then."
The two passed by each other.
Smeb's lips parted, and he finally said harsh words to him, "We will not lose, ROX will definitely take revenge on SKT!"
Only by making it out of the bottom half can we meet SKT in the finals.
The obsession in Smeb's heart made him have a burning desire to win.
Gu Xing glanced at Li Zhixun beside him.
But VG also had reasons to enter the finals.
There is only one spot in the finals and no one wants to give up easily.
……
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the knockout rounds of the 2016 Global Finals!" The North American host with a beard stood in the center of the stage, and his loud voice was heard inside the venue, "This is the Chicago Theater!"
As a landmark theater in Chicago, there are beautiful murals on both sides and the decoration style is quite retro.
The stands are divided into two levels and are now overcrowded.
"First of all, let us invite the third seed of LCK, the second advancer from Group C...SamsungGalaxy!"
Three-star players and head coaches took to the stage one after another.
"Top laner CuVee, jungler Ambition, mid laner Crown, bottom laner Ruler, assistant Corejj, substitute Wraith and head coach Edgar!"
Except for the coach, most of the players looked reserved.
There is an indelible youthfulness on their faces. It is also the first time for An Bixin to enter the quarterfinals. Fortunately, he has experienced many battles in the LCK league and can stabilize his mentality. He also held up the Samsung team flag to the supporters in the audience. Say hello.
To be honest, the number of fans is not that many.
The original style of play was procrastinating and it was not easy to attract fans. The team members were all new faces, so the audience naturally didn't buy it.
The North American host politely waited for the sporadic cheers from the stands to disappear before waving his hand and pointing to the right.
“Next, let’s invite the LPL’s No. 1 seed and Group A leader—ViciGaming!”
The silver-white VG team logo appeared on the LED display on the right side of the stage.
Zhu Xiaolong led the team and stood in front of the players' bench.
"Top laner Loong, jungler Virtue, mid laner Easyhoon, bottom laner Imp, assistant Caveman, substitute JackeyLove and head coach Homme!"
The audience suddenly burst into cheers!
In addition to a large number of international students, there are also many local North American audiences who spontaneously cheer for VG.
The 7 games in the group stage have accumulated a considerable number of supporters for VG!
The style of play is smooth and flowing, and defeating SKT in the S6 season is big news in itself, and it also makes the popularity expand rapidly.
"Win, win!" Gu Xing listened to the support from the audience and couldn't help but turn around to communicate with Brother Long, "We have a psychological advantage in this BO5 game!"
Allen Chu really couldn't stand his arrogant look, so he suppressed a smile and gently pushed Gu Xing to signal him to sit down quickly.
Gu Xing came to his seat, put on his sound-isolating headphones and reported to the referee to adjust the volume.
There was a warm baby in his hand.
This was distributed to the team members by Jin Wenhyuk before leaving the hotel.
The temperature in Chicago is cooler, so your fingers will inevitably feel a little stiff.
With the blessing of warm baby, it can heat the knuckles to ensure hand speed.
Gu Xing's small shop also sold this thing in winter, and he was very familiar with using it.
"Wuhu!" Ju Shengbin was so excited, "Samsung Nest is here, hey hey hey..."
"Brother Meng will be killed by me today!" He said in a fierce tone.
Imp has been waiting for this day for a long time.
He has no grudges against big brother Edgar and this new batch of three-star players.
What Goo Sung Bin really wants to take revenge on is the club management.
In the S4 season, Samsung White won the World Championship, but the salary increase offered by the top management to the five people was only 50%.
You know, the converted annual salary of the previously unknown Samsung White members was only 100 million won. A 50% increase is simply disgusting for players of their level!
Feeling insulted, the members of Samsung White decisively accepted the olive branch of several times the annual salary increase offered by the sponsor's father, and all went to the LPL.
Ju Shengbin thinks about it now. As long as the LPL offered more money than the LCK, he would definitely go to the LPL.
He can't stand the style of Korean trolls who only play real severed hand models and dead mice offline. The LPL has more money, less trouble, and less pressure, so why not come?
In other words, only if Samsung offered itself a salary of 6 million yuan, or more than 1.2 billion won, would Koo Shengbin consider staying in China.
At OGN at the end of 2014, that was an astronomical figure, and it was impossible to give Imp that much money.
No matter whether the top management of Samsung Club offers a 50% or 250% salary increase, Imp will not stay.
But Ju Shengbin thinks it’s my problem whether I want your contract or not. If you give me less money, you look down on people!
Today he had to let Samsung executives see it with their own eyes.
Is the Imp ID worth that much? !
"No problem, just leave it to me," Gu Xing shook the mouse, "Today, let Leader An see the power of the grumpy jungler!"
He is already very good at attacking in the early stage, and he learned a few tricks from the European blood king Jankos.
Against Samsung, Redmi had already explained to him the key issues in this knockout match.
Early rhythm.
As long as SSG can be suppressed with waves of offensives, Gu Xing will successfully complete his mission!
The referee's instructions came from the headphones to prepare for the start of the game.
Gu Xing adjusted his sitting posture, looked at the full custom room, and waited for Brother Long to start the game.
Accompanied by a clear and pleasant crisp sound.
The BP panel appeared on the big screen at the scene!
"VG, who are ranked high in the group stage, have priority in choosing sides. They get the blue side. They come up and press Syndra first!"
Zeyuan's sonorous voice echoed throughout the LPL match live broadcast room.
The obvious Wanwan tone followed closely, "Samsung blocked Xiao Gu's signature and the strongest jungler Leopard Girl in the version!"
Remember to do a little analysis, "After the group stage, many bans have actually been fixed. For example, the blue and red sides banned Syndra and Nidalee respectively. This is the unspoken rule agreed upon by each team."
Hongmi started changing his tactics from the second ban.
Jin, the dramatist, was sent to the forbidden area by him.
"This is obviously an unconventional ban. Normally, Jhin wouldn't be blocked," Zeyuan was commentating on the knockout rounds for the first time. He was very excited and spoke much faster than before. "It seems that VG is targeting Ruler takes action!”
Samsung is basically a pure rookie lineup.
But to find the easiest position to break through, it is obviously Ruler.
Like Gu Xing, he only came to the top league stage this summer.
Redmi has studied the SSG video.
Ruler's mentality is obviously very different from Gu Xing's.
The young man was impatient, and Hongmi felt that it would be unjustifiable if she didn't target him.
Edgar guessed Hongmi's plan.
He had a plan before the game.
"Ban Olaf, let's try to make Zanrong feel more comfortable in the jungle." Edgar believed that Gu Xing was VG's rhythm engine, and BP blocking the jungler was obviously a good choice.
The last slot of Red Rice is given to Han Bing.
"This will test Ruler's hero pool," I remember saying. "Jhin and Han Bing are the characters he uses more in the summer games, and they also happen to be the heroes of this world championship."
"After they are all banned, he still has the policewoman and EZ..." Zeyuan had a different idea, "No matter what, Ruler can get an advantageous role."
"On the other hand, Samsung has also banned the blind monk, and the three-ban jungler has made it clear that it will block all Xiao Gu's early roles!"
The strong heroes in the S6 World Championship have not yet reached the point where a hundred flowers bloom. There are basically a few heroes in each position who are the strongest.
There are not many options for the jungle. Below the Leopard Girl is the blind monk Olaf, and now they are all in the banned position.
"Want to see what the VG blue leader is grabbing...Zyra? No problem."
I remember agreeing with Hongmi's choice, "Small Duan is suitable for this kind of strong support that can hit the lane, and the early pressure is full!"
Edgar thought for a moment, "Take the policewoman, and then snatch Rek'Sei."
He wants to completely block the jungle position, leaving only Gu Xing Spider as a choice!
Hongmi looked at the policewoman chosen across the street and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
The policewoman and EZ that I deliberately released in the BP session both have obvious flaws.
It seems like a choice between two, but in fact no matter who SSG chooses, they will fall into a trap!
"Jess and Viktor, lock down the strong single-lane characters first, Xiao Gu, wait until you go out to the jungle." Seeing that the other party picked Rek'Sai first, Hongmi was not in a hurry.
"Wait a moment..." Gu Xing searched in the hero list and showed an unpopular hero with a smile on his face.
"Joker?" I remember being stunned for a moment and then laughing, "This should be a simple show of one's skills, a hero that fits the Chicago style."
The North American audience at the scene was extremely excited and kept encouraging Gu Xingsuo to come down.
The audience at the Chicago Theater was larger than that at the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium, and Gu Xing could hear the commotion coming from the auditorium.
"Is Gotham really Chicago?" Xiao Duan asked curiously. He had never understood it before.
"Some say Chicago, some say New York," Gu Xing answered while fidgeting with his headset, "When we go to Madison Garden in the semifinals, I will continue to show off the clown. I can't go wrong!"
The venue for the semi-finals will be in New York on the east coast of the United States, and he made up his mind to travel there at his own expense.
Gu Xing shook the clown for a few seconds before locking Jace down.
"Samsung selected Karma and Bobby, leaving the last counter spot to Brother Crown!" Zeyuan beamed when he mentioned Crown.
He has been a Crown fan since 2015. He has watched Crown grow from an unknown to a top mid laner step by step, and he trusts his ability to carry games.
Redmi finally chose Ezreal and jungler Spider to officially form the lineup.
Edgar got the Clockwork Demon to ensure the team's mid- to late-game output.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

Accompanied by cheers from the audience, the two teams prepared to enter Summoner's Rift!
Yesterday, the chapter draw was still in rhythm.
Some people said that they were tired of watching three Koreas beheaded in a row, and they said that I had to use the Flag of Command for a long time. Some people said that why ROX gave so many scenes and had to play the protagonist in the semi-finals instead of SKT.
Let me explain one by one.
The situation in the Three Koreas is like this. VG is excluded from the top eight, and the remaining LPL teams are not drawn. S6 can't fight a civil war to climb up, right?
H2K and TSM are not popular. Most readers probably know one or two players in them.
If you don’t beat the Korean team, who else can you beat?
As for the speculation, this one is the same as the previous one, both starting from S6. Can readers see even the slightest similarity in the plot?
Before I started this book, I emphasized that it must be innovation, innovation.
I will never in my life write similar plots to trick people into subscribing. This is the bottom line.
I didn’t have a choice about the teams I played against, but the content of winning the game must be different from the book.
I have used the Flag of Command once, how could I use it again? The readers are tired of reading it and I am tired of writing it.
The routines in this book are definitely different from those of roaming mid laners, so don’t worry...
The reason why ROX has so many scenes is because there is foreshadowing!
A book is not just about one season. There are stories behind it. I was very well prepared this time and buried the clues very deeply. As long as the supporting characters have shown their faces in the previous article, they will be useful later.
As for why we still play SKT in the finals, this was decided last year, because the original inspiration for writing this book came from Mr. Hou.
This is also the reason why I chose VG as the home team for this book.
Against SKT, it would be more interesting to have a bit of revenge. 8500 words, total 2.41W
