Chapter 382 Chapter 383: The sword points at Kaohsiung!
After the upset loss to Suning, the VG training department was not in a hurry to correct the mistakes and adjust the state.
Instead, I took two days off first.
The team members were really exhausted.
Due to the existence of mid-season, players do not get enough rest time before the summer split.
Song Jinghao and others complained when the competition started in the summer, believing that running continuously would exhaust their energy and affect their competitive state.
Therefore, Lu Wenjun waved his hand and simply let the players take a break to relax before the intercontinental competition started.
But Gu Xing was very diligent.
He had a good night's rest and continued training vigorously the next day.
When he went downstairs to the training room to turn on the phone, Jack, who was unpacking potato chips in the kitchen, was surprised by this.
"Lao Gu, aren't you? Do you want to work so hard?"
Gu Xing opened a carton of milk with a straw and glanced at him.
Jack's eyes were sleepy, and the black hair on his big head was as messy as a bird's nest. It was obvious that he was woken up by hunger before going downstairs to scavenge food, and he would have to go back upstairs to sleep in his cage later.
Gu Xing sighed softly, hating that iron could not become steel.
"How can you sleep at your age?"
Yu Wenbo had just stuffed a piece of cucumber-flavored potato chips into his mouth and was biting it when he almost choked on Gu Xing's words.
His ears were slightly red, "It's a holiday arranged by the club. It's reasonable to sleep in, and I didn't make any mistakes..."
Footsteps sounded at the right time upstairs.
Li Ruixing appeared in front of the two of them along the stairs, looking energetic and energetic.
"What a coincidence!" He had just heard the whole conversation between his two C's, and knew that Gu Xing was going to get up early for training, and he immediately beamed with joy, "How does that idiom come from... it's so clear!"
"We are worthy of being partners in the middle and jungle for half a year. We even come up with the idea of working overtime on rest days. How about double queuing today to get points?"
Kuro couldn't wait to send out the invitation.
Gu Xing waved his hand and declined, "I may not have time to play ranked games during the day. I guess I will have to wait until after dinner to have time..."
Yu Wenbo, who was grabbing the potato chips, saw that Nakano and Nakano were chatting happily. He was too embarrassed to interrupt and ran upstairs.
Kuro took out his mobile phone and opened the takeout app, ready to start a new day with two glasses of iced American cuisine.
After placing the order, he looked up and saw the game video on Gu Xing's monitor.
"Do you want a review?"
Gu Xing responded, "Yes, I want to study the jungle hacking route of Suning's jungle hacker yesterday."
He knows he is strong, but that doesn't mean he can rest on his laurels.
There are always players with brilliant ideas and innovative playing methods that are worth learning!
Gu Xing has been in the professional arena for a whole year and is very aware of the current arena environment.
Although the update and iteration speed of the game understanding is not as fast as that of S2S3 Savage Era, the initial operation concept and line switching thinking have become a fixed pattern.
But everyone is still making progress.
Every year or even every month, better game concepts are born, urging the professional circle to adapt.
In this case, sticking to your own inherent playing style without improving it means standing still, which is equivalent to falling behind!
As we all know, those who fall behind will be beaten.
Gu Xing is currently standing at the top of the professional jungle. He knows that countless people are staring at his position and coveting, so he does not dare to neglect in the slightest.
If you want to maintain your dominance, you must learn and make progress all the time!
Kuro didn't forget to say a few words.
"A player as strong as Pingu is working hard, so what qualifications do I have for not working hard?"
After saying that, he happily started his solo journey.
Gu Xing held his chin with his left hand and put his right hand on the keyboard to control the video fast forward and rewind.
Normal viewers who want to watch game recordings can only find live replays through major video websites.
But as a professional player, Gu Xing has higher authority.
The source video of the game is saved in Riot—that is, the initial version of the file without various advertisements, UI, and guidance actions, which is similar to the video playback function of the game client.
According to league regulations, teams from both sides of the match can retrieve source videos from Riot Games as long as they apply, which is of great benefit to the team's review effect!
Gu Xing submitted the report in advance, and soon the original video was downloaded.
Unlike the first-person perspective during the game, more information can be seen from the spectator's perspective.
And he will also have more time to slowly think about whether each wave of decisions is reasonable and whether there is the best alternative, and reflect on the mistakes he has made.
Although Gu Xing's level is very high, he can't guarantee that he will not make a single mistake in the entire game.
That is unrealistic, unless the Alpha Dog comes, there is no hope of realizing it!
What Gu Xing can do is to minimize mistakes through review, fully learn from experience and lessons, and not give the opponent a chance in future games.
Some mistakes can be corrected through self-change operations if you ask yourself.
And more problems lie in communication within the team.
Gu Xing opened the VG match audio source file also obtained from Riot Games, overlapping the timelines, and then clarified the communication environment within the team bit by bit.
Let’s see if it’s because the instructions you gave were vague and your teammates didn’t understand the meaning; or it was because you were already giving instructions so late that your teammates couldn’t catch up in time; or maybe your teammates’ execution ability failed. Deviation, due to various reasons (greedy, slow response) did not arrive.
Unlike the team members who act as thugs, Gu Xing, as the brains of the team, needs to consider more and more complex details.
He put on his headphones and played Jay Chou's song list on a loop, and then began to check the problems exposed in the video without any distractions.
This kind of review work seems very boring.
But Gu Xing enjoyed it.
The mathematics competition questions back then were even more boring to him, and Gu Xing was able to bite them off.
League of Legends is at least interesting to him, and he only feels physically and mentally happy when he puts his energy into it!
It took him noon to flip through the videos of the three games, and then Gu Xing focused on the hacker.
The angle of view is locked to follow the opponent. Every time the hacker goes out to re-plan his action route, Gu Xing will press the pause button to observe carefully.
He calmed down, put himself into the enemy's perspective, and put himself in his opponent's shoes.
Just as Gu Xing thought, hackers really have two tools.
"The frequency of returning to the city is a bit exaggerated..." He frowned and noticed the key details.
Gu Xing did some statistics.
In the first 15 minutes of the three games, the hacker took the initiative to return to the city 12 times, an average of 4 times per game!
This does not include the passive return data of hackers who are resurrected after death!
There is no doubt that this is an exaggerated figure, far exceeding the normal situation!
Gu Xing paid special attention to this and wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the hacker's gourd.
The results are really rewarding.
Every time a hacker returns to the city, the first thing he does is to go straight to the VG jungle area and arrange eye positions at several key passes.
Even if he uses a blind monk, he will only leave himself one eye for escape/pursuit, and the rest will be arranged!
The green jungle knife can provide two wards, which will be recharged when the hero returns to the spring.
The more times a hacker returns to the city, the more eye positions he will get!
Gu Xing saw through the hacker's thinking.
Obviously, the enemy's frequent return to the city is to detect and limit his own movements through eye position!
When the early scan fails to be upgraded, there is a lack of means to clear the eye position.
As long as there are enough hacker eyes, Gu Xing's traces will be captured!
He couldn't help but curse secretly.
It has to be said that the opponent's invasion wards are well arranged and relatively dense. Even if Gu Xing has a certain awareness of wards, he can't avoid Suning's vast field of vision!
"There is something!"
Gu Xing was filled with admiration, as if he had opened the door to a new world.
Why is the jungle so elusive and able to catch the opponent off guard through psychological games?
It's because they have been lurking in the fog of war for a long time, and the enemy can only guess the jungler's location through clues!
Many times, players in the jungle do not take the initiative to attack, but instead intimidate the enemy because the opponent cannot figure out where the jungler is.
But once the opponent has a ward in the jungle, and there is no trace of the jungler, then all the games are in vain!
If you are exposed to the other party's sight and no matter how you try to deceive him, your performance will be similar to that of a clown, and you can only make people laugh!
In Gu Xing's view, the hackers' targeted approach was undoubtedly successful.
He failed to respond in time, and Suning seized the opportunity and used various means to reduce his team influence.
Once VG's team engine misfires, the overall strength of the lineup will instantly drop by several levels!
This allowed Suning to successfully steal the chicken and upset them, giving VG their first BO3 defeat of the season!
Gu Xing was ready to borrow the idea and use it himself.
To be fair, it's not too difficult.
He only needs to plan the time for each return to the city and minimize the loss of development and rhythm caused by frequent trips home!
Gu Xing turned on the training mode and went to the canyon to record the time remaining after clearing the wild camp every time, trying to steal the free time when he returned to the city to update his eye positions.
After roughly sorting out an effective schedule, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Gu Xing only needs to master it and be familiar with the nodes of each return to the city, so as to achieve subconscious habitual behavior and it will be considered a success!
After all, when it comes to the competition field, Gu Xing, who is also responsible for the team leadership, has no time to calculate when is the best time to return to the city.
Since he can deepen his impression through memory and learning, he will be able to relax a lot on the field.
Rubbing his sore neck, Gu Xing slumped down on the engineering chair, leaning his whole body back so that his spine and the back of the chair were in close contact, fully relaxing his body.
To his surprise, looking through the gap formed by the messy iced American cups on Kuro's table, he could see Yu Wenbo sitting in his chair, concentrating on improving his ranking.
"Hey, why are you here, Jack?" Gu Xing looked down at his phone. It was already past dinner, and he planned to order a McNugget as a gift.
Jack used Draven's three axes to treat the opposing ADC as a cannon, and took the time to respond, "There is no way, you are all involved, how can I, a younger brother, sleep soundly?"
There was helplessness in his tone.
The team is full of big brothers.
He was regarded as a role model by others and would work overtime in the training room during the holidays. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he was still ashamed.
What's more, in terms of hard power, he is still far from the top shooters.
In order not to hold the team back, Jack also had to come down for training.
"There's no point in lying in bed all day," Gu Xing ordered the order and added casually, "Is it possible to sleep until the day and night are reversed before you are satisfied? That would be more than enough, and in the end your work and rest will become chaotic."
< br>
Duan Deliang sat on a chair and shuffled information, familiar with the intercontinental competition system, "You can also learn from Maibo, he is still asleep now."
Smeb had just had a few drinks when he came back last night, so he probably wouldn't be able to see him in the training room during the day today.
Hearing this, Jack put on a bitter face and said, "It's so bad. I got drunk after drinking, and my face is as red as a monkey's butt..."
Gu Xing listened to the jokes of his teammates and chatted with his girlfriend on WeChat.
Not long after, the call from Shen Guanshan was answered.
"You haven't studied the new Qianjue yet?" Shen Guanshan's words were full of surprise.
Gu Xing's face remained as usual, "There's no way it can be like this. We usually have such heavy training tasks, and we have to play version heroes in ranked, so we don't have time to practice Qian Jue..."
According to the information from Xie Tunan, Qian Jue’s performance after the redesign was quite average in high-level matches on all major servers.
The intensity is really not enough.
Gu Xing just played two games and then didn't use it anymore.
"Don't you have Qian Jue's unique skills?" He leaned closer to the screen and smiled, "Quickly tell me your understanding so that I can learn from it."
Shen Guanshan hesitated and hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed, "...I am of a low rank, so what I say may not be correct. You'd better try it yourself."
Gu Xing immediately retorted, "You're already ranked second, how about some professional players?"
“Speak boldly and that’s it!”
He was not joking, but sincerely wanted to learn some experience.
Shen Guanshan has taken the time to play about six to seven hundred games in the past year, and 90% of the games were Qian Jue.
The hero's mechanism is here. The attribute of mark alone can make it be classified into the ranks of unpopular heroes, allowing Shen Guanshan to be selected by everyone.
After practicing so many times, I started to understand Qian Jue more or less.
Gu Xing simply found someone to learn from.
He trusts his girlfriend very much.
Because Gu Xing had seen Shen Guanshan's brainpower before, the psychological shadow of being overtaken in a corner by someone who was just playing around with him in a race is still vivid in his mind.
He feels that smart people do not necessarily have to be particularly good at playing games - natural skills such as hand speed and reaction are difficult to improve through acquired hard work.
But as long as you put out the energy to study and study hard, your concentration will not be bad!
Shen Guanshan was encouraged by her boyfriend, and her expression was visibly happy.
After organizing the language, speak your understanding softly.
"The mark enhancement after Qian Jue's revised version is obviously based on every four levels as a watershed. Among them, the fourth level has the strongest reward, with a full 75-yard range reward..."
"Currently, Kindred's initial basic attack range is 500 yards, which is shorter than most shooters. However, as long as the reward of the fourth layer of marks is harvested, it will exceed the 550 yards of the general ADC, and it will become more and more popular as the passiveness increases. Exaggeration.”
Shen Guanshan spoke in a very organized manner and enunciated clearly and fluently, "This is the basic situation. Before Qianjue reaches the 4th level of mark, her passive strength will lag behind the old version."
This is easy to understand.
Originally, Kindred could get a percentage increase in damage for every level of passive it gained.
Now that it is less than 4 floors, there will be no fundamental changes.
"But what if we put aside the passive and only focus on the other three minor skills?" Shen Guanshan took advantage of the situation and shifted his attention to the target.
"The Q skill has been changed to increase the attack speed. Whether it is compatible with the Recurve Bow or the Blood Blade, it is more compatible. As the attack speed increases, War Zeal will stack faster..."
She said eloquently, "W changes from being self-centered to being able to be cast at will within a radius of 500 yards. In addition, the current percentage damage is increased. This is obviously a big enhancement."
"It used to be that Kindred could easily rush out of the domain with W and cast Q twice, and the opponent could easily escape the wolf spirit's pursuit. But now it's completely different!"
Gu Xing deeply agreed with this.
One of the core values of Kindred is flexibility.
The linkage between QW's dual skills is crucial.
Although the original Kindred is also very flexible, it is still a bit bulky compared to the revised version.
"The new effect of the E skill, 'Increase damage based on the enemy's lost health', is a big killer in the early stage," Shen Guanshan emphasized. "I have tried the new version of Qianjue a lot. Now, as long as the opponent still has With about half health remaining, Level 3 Qian Jue uses E and then jumps in the face. If he can hit three rings, he can kill the opponent! "
"What's more, after Qian Jue's revision, the power of the three small skills will increase with the stacking of imprint layers!"
She first made a basic conclusion, "In short, even if Kindred did not stack 4 layers of passive in the early stage, relying on the new skill mechanism, the intensity will be higher than before!"
Gu Xing listened silently the whole time.
So far, Shen Guanshan's statement is very satisfactory to him.
Although the passive percentage damage of the old version of Kindred was improved in the early stage, it was not that noticeable.
The main reason is that everyone's initial blood volume is not high, and the percentage output is at most a few points of damage from a basic attack. They will become stronger in the later stages.
In terms of early improvement, it is really not as obvious as the enhancement after the skill revision.
"I personally feel that this rework makes Kindred's heroic characteristics more prominent. Her own mark mechanism requires the character to invade at all times in order to obtain growth benefits..."
Shen Guanshan continued.
"If you want to invade in the early stage, your combat effectiveness must be strong - only by defeating your opponent can you have the capital to counterattack. At the same time, you must be flexible to avoid being caught by the opponent's teammates and dying suddenly before you can escape."
Gu Xing nodded repeatedly, "You are right."
"I think the current strength curve of New Kindred is a V-shape," Shen Guanshan's metaphor is very easy to understand. "In the early stage, it relies on high skill damage and flexibility to be very strong, but it will start to weaken in the mid-term. When the imprint layer is added in the later stage, Stack it up, you have enough range, and your ability will rebound!”
After all, Kindred is an ADC with a fast attack style. Such shooters are generally weak in the mid-term.
Because their skills require attack power bonuses, but they don't make too many pure AD equipment, the panel damage will naturally decrease.
The enemy's front row equipment is basically formed at this time - as we all know, due to the problem of attribute calculation method, the profit of tank equipment in the early and mid-term is higher than that of output equipment.
Under such circumstances, Kindred will face the dilemma of being unable to defeat the opponent's tanks.
It turns out that there is also a percentage damage bonus, and with the assistance of the Blood Blade Jungle Knife, it also has a certain lethality against the front row.
But it's no use now.
The mid-term weakness is understandable!
As for the later stage, what everyone pays attention to is that one inch is long and one inch is strong, and range is the truth.
As long as Kindred has enough layers of marks and armor-breaking armor, it will be like shooting toys when facing tanks!
By hitting the crispy skin, you can take the lead in stealing some basic attacks out of the enemy's range!
"Does it sound a bit like a policewoman?" Shen Guanshan was eager to share, his eyes flashing, "But the difference is that Qian Jue is more flexible and has a stronger ability to protect himself!"
Gu Xing understood clearly.
"The meaning of that fist is very obvious, it is to suppress my mid-term rhythmic ability," he took over the topic and analyzed it slowly, "I have to say, the designer really understood it."
VG's style of play is to snowball in the mid-term, using wave after wave of crazy offensives to expand their lead.
The fist takes the right medicine, focusing on VG's weak spots and slashing at them!
If Gu Xing uses Qian Jue, he will naturally not be able to roll the snowball rhythm unscrupulously when facing the mid-term weak stage!
"The solution should be the same as the policewoman's," Gu Xing reasoned. "Caitlin is using the early stage to quickly push up the tower to accumulate personal finances, advance her power period, and get through the mid-term as soon as possible."
"Qian Jue can also use a similar method..."
After he used Shen Guanshan to smooth out the characteristics and style of the new version of Qian Jue, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Several different countermeasures came to mind one after another!
The enlightened Gu Xingqing said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Shen Guanshan quickly declined, "I can't help you much. What I said is only superficial. If you hadn't had time to practice, your understanding of Qian Jue would definitely be much better than mine now."
"When you come over during the summer vacation, I will take you out for a fun trip." Gu Xing made a promise first.
Shen Guanshan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the Patrick's Star chocolate cake last time, full of anticipation for it.
"When you come back from the intercontinental competition, I will take care of the exam week. You must work hard to compete in Kaohsiung!"
When Gu Xing heard the encouraging words from his girlfriend, he held his head high and was full of confidence, "Just wait until I win the Grand Slam and it will be over!"
“I still have 100 career wins, go to Kaohsiung and win them all!”
After three days of rest.
On July 3, the four top LPL teams met at the airport.
Gu Xing also uploaded a live broadcast of his expedition to the group of seven wolves on a whim.
“So many people!”
In the picture, he was holding his mobile phone and spinning around, taking in all the players and staff of the four teams.
Including the employees of Shiquan and Tencent, there are a total of 60 people.
It can be called a large-scale team.
"Guess which unlucky people in the group don't have the opportunity to travel at public expense?" Jack smiled wildly.
"Hehehe..." Shi Senming put his arms around Gu Xing and Jack's shoulders, showing his signature smile, "I know someone will be embarrassed, but I won't say who it is."
Xiangguo, who was as thin as a skeleton, also came over to join in the fun.
"Those two idiots Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong are really not good enough. They are not going to demote NB again this summer, right? No, right?"
Liu Shiyu, whose emotional intelligence fell to the core of the earth, was very embarrassed and opened his wounds mercilessly.
Gu Xing once thought that if Liu Qingsong was at the airport, he would rush up and give Xiang Guo two punches to break his bones.
"And that Beethoven," Jack named him directly, "Weren't you quite crazy a while ago? Can you get this thing in my hands?"
He picked up the ticket to Kaohsiung and waved it.
Beethoven's riposte was swift.
"Don't bark at Yu Wenbo. I don't know who gave VG their first BO3 defeat in 2017 on June 30?"
"It's really unexpected to play Verus' sudden death pose. I didn't expect your ancient dragon to suddenly send off. Hey, hey... Promise buddy, don't die suddenly and embarrassment when you go to the intercontinental competition."
Beethoven is known as the Prince of Online Dating, and anyone who dares to use this nickname is not bad at keyboarding.
The level of trolling is probably on par with the top bad-mouthed king Liu Qingsong.
Jack was so angry that he couldn't speak.
If Poppy hadn't asked them to take a group photo, Beethoven would have been furious!
"Brother Xing, please stand in the middle," Jin Yibo motioned to everyone to give up the C seat for Gu Xing, "Puppy and the factory director, stand on both sides!"
As for Kandi, who was even less popular, Bobby placed him behind Gu Xing.
VG, WE, RNG and EDG, the star players of the four teams gathered together, giving a thumbs up to the camera and making a universal photo pose.
The rest of the team members and staff surrounded them like stars over the moon, highlighting their unique status.
"I still want to pose. I suddenly had a good idea before going to bed last night..." Gu Xing muttered.
Kandi started to scratch the floor with his toes just thinking about it.
"You mess with me, Qiuqiu, don't bring up those particularly embarrassing ideas!"
He has seen VG's appearance in various competitions.
Kandi didn't even know how Gu Xing could do things with a bright smile that would make him embarrassed just by looking at him.
"You really don't understand aesthetics," Gu Xing criticized, with a regretful tone, "This thing has to be awkward to play!"
Due to Kandi's strong opposition, the pose Gu Xing came up with was not used in the photo session during the expedition.
The members of the four teams were laughing and joking, chatting and joking with each other before boarding the plane, preparing to start the first intercontinental competition!
The sword points at Kaohsiung!
This chapter may be a little dry.
However, the written method of Suning’s upset victory and Qianjue’s interpretation after the revision are very important to the subsequent plot.
Ps: The breath-holding contest is about to end.
6700 words, I saved some and saved the manuscript.
(End of chapter)
