Chapter 474 Chapter 474: The upcoming final!
"What are you looking at?"
Hongmi yawned and stood sleepily outside the door of the training room, "I can hear the noise from upstairs."
Gu Xing stared at the damage panel after the game and found that Ming Kai was playing a pig girl and actually dealt a weird 7777 points of damage. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and turned around to educate his coach.
"The LPL semi-finals, Hongmi, you don't even pay attention to this? You don't take my post-match interview seriously, do you? You feel that no matter who you play in the final, you will win, so you just don't study it..."
< br>
He was half serious and half joking, "Brother, I was just joking!"
Hongmi laughed dryly, "Blame me, blame me, I was a little confused when I got up, and I almost forgot about this."
Yin Chengrong was also one of the members who drank heavily last night. He drank two bottles of Maotai with the manager, boss and others, and his brain is still not clear now.
He rubbed the goo in his eyes and walked behind Gu Xing. When he saw that the other party was not on the air, he was relieved and took a shot at the speed of light.
Hongmi still remembers the last time he stood behind Gu Xing and did a habitual action, the whole process was broadcast live by his jungler. In the end, everyone knew, even the VG official blog was full of his GIF for a while.
"EDG won?" He was not surprised, "I think this version of Queshi is quite suitable for them."
Gu Xing nodded, "That's it..."
Riot Games has been weakening VG through version adjustments throughout the summer split.
The direct beneficiary is Guodian.
EDG top laner Mouse mainly plays the tank and waits until team battles before sheltering the team from the wind and rain. This is completely opposite to the style of Smeb, who is good at soloing and split-pushing.
In his peak period, the jungler Mingkai was a master of map control and was proficient in herbivorous junglers. He was the same two extremes as Gu Xing, who was good at jungle core and mainly focused on offense.
When EDG uses tool heroes in both top and jungle, they naturally have to rely more on the team battle output of double C.
If you think about it, you will know that Riot's weakening of VG means cutting off the power of their specialized tactical system, and then strengthening the corresponding style of gameplay.
Guodian was strengthened several times by accident throughout the summer split!
What kind of pig girl wine barrel, what kind of top laner, big tree, big insect Shen...
Bonuses are full!
The double C players in the team are also very competitive, and under the protection of their teammates, they crushed RNG in team battles!
Hongmi's own computer was not turned on, so he simply borrowed Gu Xing's computer to check EDG's BP first, trying to analyze some information from it.
"Well," he beamed, "EDG are still playing supports like Thresh, and it seems they haven't grasped the essence of soft supports!"
"But when it comes to the finals, Guodian will definitely use it," Gu Xinglizhi analyzed. "Their tactics are originally biased towards maintaining the ranking."
As mentioned before, EDG team battles mainly rely on double C.
When a fight breaks out, Ming Kai and Mouse, the two tank tanks, cannot cut into the formation to cut into the opponent's back row. They must stay with their own absolute core and be responsible for protecting them.
It can be said that EDG's play style is inherently to protect the row!
This has not changed since the team was founded. Namei, Deft and iBoy are all shooters who enjoy the unlimited resources of the team. Their statistical performance often reaches the peak of their careers during the Guodian period.
Gu Xing suspected that the establishment of EDG's style had a lot to do with the soul figure Gui Jiaoqi.
Mingkai played this way during his WE days. The top laner Strawberry played by himself, and he followed Ruofeng around to help the bottom lane Dabuliucha develop.
As long as the smiles can be brought up, WE will win in all likelihood.
So much so that after Guijiao Qiyu broke through the net and left WE tonight, he still used this style of play when he came to EDG, and it continues to this day.
It can be said that Guodian does not need practice at all in ensuring discharge.
The only missing element so far is soft support.
But Meiko’s hero pool has always been the deepest among LPL supports. The signature Thresh Nami represents two types of supports. It is conceivable that it will not take long for him to regain his protective soft skills due to his strong operational ability. auxiliary!
By the final day, EDG's double-guaranteed platoon soft-support system may have been completed, and its strength may not even be inferior to VG's!
Kuro smiled and added, "So what? We have a lot of trump cards. EDG thought they were on the same starting line as us, but they didn't know they had already lost!"
As soon as this was said, everyone in the room smiled knowingly.
"Jiejiejie..."
Jack, who was woken up by peeing, solved his physical problems and was hungry. He was about to go downstairs to ask for some food, when he heard sinister laughter coming from the VG training room.
Yu Wenbo's body trembled, showing a look of horror.
"Is he doing this to gods and demons? Is there a conference in the Soul Palace?"
He once suspected that his teammates had been taken away by the elders of the Soul Palace. He opened the door and took a look. He saw Kuro sitting there as usual, licking the jungler, and then he felt relieved.
He had nothing to do during the holiday today, and Gu Xing was too lazy to sleep, so he simply played two qualifying games to practice his skills, and then reviewed the games to check for any mistakes he had made, and solved the problems that he had exposed one by one.
To be honest, at this point, he has made very few mistakes in each game, and he has to observe carefully to find sporadic loopholes.
And in most cases, the flaws are fleeting and the opponent cannot catch them.
But Gu Xing was not satisfied.
In the field of competitive sports, the biggest fear is to become complacent and rest on your laurels.
He doesn't study himself. Many players and coaching staff watch his videos over and over again and ponder.
The problems he has exposed now seem trivial, but what if he is caught by the opponent in a key match in the future?
Not to mention anything else, my opponent in the finals is Gui Jiao Qi. This guy is a tough guy who knows how to play well, and he especially likes to gain insight into the enemy jungler's play style by studying videos.
The classic masterpiece is the S6 season facing Sofm's sanctions, which directly turned the bandits who were in the limelight into frightened birds and did not dare to go to the EDG jungle to fight back!
Therefore, Gu Xing did not dare to relax and had to repair his loopholes before Ming Kai discovered and saw through them.
This is where E+ comes in handy.
The data compiled by Xie Tunan and others can help Gu Xing find his own shortcomings from a macro perspective.
People have more or less habitual thinking, and Gu Xing is not exempt from it.
For example, after clearing the first round of camps, he likes to run near the opponent's jungle area and insert an eye to detect the enemy's wild route and the movements of the next round of wild monster camps.
Or maybe it’s time to replace the red accessories.
Since the current version can only wear a scanner on the head after level 9, many junglers are used to waiting until then to change accessories. Previously, they used yellow accessory eyes to help provide eye positions - after all, the green jungle knife only has two eyes. It is less than the upper limit that each person can have up to 3 artificial eyes installed at the same time in the canyon.
But Gu Xing's gameplay is different.
He likes to return to the city and swap out the scan early after reaching level 6.
One is because the jungler has a big move at this point in time and is quite powerful in combat.
Even for pure tank front-line players like Pig Girl and Wine Barrel, after reaching level 6, a set of skills can kill enemy heroes with less than half health.
Gu Xing changes his scan, not only can he prepare for the gank line and put pressure on the enemy's three-way heroes, but he can also enter the opponent's jungle area, eliminate the protective defensive wards at commonly used points, and put pressure on the enemy jungler's vision. And wait for the opportunity to seek a solo kill.
Another point is Canyon Pioneer.
When the Vanguard team starts playing, the jungler will definitely be less than level 9.
If you want to fight for it, without scanning, it is very likely that the enemy will peek in and see clearly the situation in the dragon pit. This will allow the opponent to master too much of your own information and have a wider decision-making space. You can choose to avoid the battle or take the vanguard. After going around, prepare to start the group.
To be fair, Vanguard is not that critical now - the bounty reduction on the first-blood tower and the overall slowdown in pace have caused the team to pay less and less attention to this purple-skinned garlic.
But VG is an exception.
They want to improve the rhythm in the early and mid-term, and the vanguard is the top priority!
Because the visual advantage this thing brings to the team after knocking down the defense tower is really terrifying!
Through the vision of the jungle, VG can easily squeeze out the opponent's development space, gradually widen the economic gap, and completely roll the snowball!
If Gu Xing wants to speed up his team, then the red scan that can ensure the vision of the vanguard team battle is a necessity!
He recalled his specific habits based on the big data provided by E+.
This kind of behavior guided and implemented by inertial thinking is likely to be seen through and exploited by opponents - Gu Xing himself has often used similar tricks.
Therefore, he was extra careful, writing down all his playing habits during this period, and then slowly thought about the solution.
Thinking patterns are a bit like layer cakes.
One's own inertial thinking is the first level, and the enemy's seeing through and coming up with countermeasures is the second level.
Then Gu Xing should take precautions and think of the third level of countermeasures in advance!
It sounds incredible.
Normal players tend not to think about things this way.
But Gu Xing is different.
He has traveled through the Summoner's Rift in his mind countless times. Facing the attack of virtual enemies, Gu Xing has long been accustomed to thinking through the layer cake mode!
The advantage is that it can achieve perfect results.
The shortcomings are also obvious.
Time consuming.
It took Gu Xing a whole day to solve the problems caused by inertial thinking.
However, the long test that he seemed to be in a trance actually inspired the entire VG team.
Gu Xing, the absolute core, worked so hard, so why did he have any reason to be lazy?
At first, Jack planned to sleep soundly, but as soon as he entered the lounge, he saw that his jungler was concentrating on reviewing the game video, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Gu Xing was simply warning himself with his actions - at your age and at this stage, can you sleep?
Seeing the lazy dogs in the VG team starting to score points in the rankings, Hongmi was very pleased.
With this kind of hard work day and night, time flies by and August 28th arrives in the blink of an eye.
They are going north to the Imperial Capital to prepare for rehearsals, trash talk, and recording of promotional videos.
In view of the current advanced high-speed rail technology, traveling from Shanghai to Beijing is actually only two hours slower than a plane flight, not much slower than the time to and from the airport, and there is no need to consider possible flight delays.
After comprehensive consideration, Tencent simply booked high-speed rail tickets for VG.
They were not the only ones setting off on the same day. Final opponents EDG, bubble tournament participants WE, RNG and IG all took the same bus.
Five teams occupied an entire carriage!
"Shi Senming, you bastard," Jack couldn't wait to go over when he saw his old friend, which was disgusting. "Before the game, you were still shouting about revenge in the final, but the result was good. Brother, you are waiting before the finish line. Where did you go?"
Xiao Ming forced a smile, but his mental state was not very good.
Losing in the semifinals was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
Shi Senming originally thought that compared to Jack and Gu Xing, he was still a senior on the career path, and he certainly couldn't lag too far behind in terms of performance.
After joining RNG, it is not difficult to enter the league finals with the team, right?
As a result, in both spring and summer, the royal family never set foot on the finals floor once!
Xiao Ming fell into deep self-doubt.
Is it because I am too good at dragging down my teammates?
There are others who are in a more serious situation than him.
Uzi grabbed his suitcase and pulled his slippers forward. His eyes were blank and he seemed to be in a state of wandering.
Gu Xing reminded him without knowing the reason, "Please pay attention to the information on the ticket. You are almost running to the ticket gate on the opposite side!"
"Oh oh oh..." Uzi just woke up and hurriedly changed direction and followed Gu Xing. After thinking about it, he decided to open the topic, "How are you preparing for the final?
"That's definitely no problem," Gu Xing said confidently, "I'm just waiting to go over and win the trophy!"
Uzi was filled with envy when he heard this.
Gu Xing, who debuted later than him, now holds two Silver Dragon Cups, but what about him?
Not even one!
Gu Xing looked at the dead fish-eyed boy next to him and shouted, "Mingkai, just wash your neck and wait!"
"Tch..." Gui Jiao Qi showed a disdainful smile, "You don't know how to pinch whoever you want to crush. We are more prepared this time, and we will beat you until you are full of teeth!"
He was also confident and seemed sure that he would not lose.
Gu Xing snickered secretly.
You are very arrogant now, but I don’t know if you can still be so arrogant on the day of the finals?
He cleared his throat, not wanting to talk to Gui Jiao Qi anymore, for fear that he would end up in Bengbu.
Just as he was trying to find another topic, an overjoyed shout interrupted Gu Xing's train of thought.
"Brother? It's really you!" A college student returning to school was very surprised, "Can I take a photo with you?"
The fan's roar directly attracted the attention of all the passengers near the ticket gate.
"No, no, no, no, it's okay to take a group photo, but please be quiet and don't make any noise..." Gu Xing hurriedly waved his hand to calm down.
He didn't want to disrupt public order.
But it was too late.
Soon, many young people noticed this group of professional players.
There was no way around it. Although the members of the five teams were not wearing team uniforms, their unique aura was very eye-catching.
Most people are sloppy and don't wash their hair. The oil on their hair is almost enough to stir-fry a plate of Jianghu cuisine.
They even wore slippers when they went out to catch a train - I don't know if they were misled by several Korean players. Anyway, Smeb and Kuro always wore slippers when they were not playing games.
The most important thing is the luxury goods.
Some are given by fans and some are bought by themselves. Most of those who can compete in the Bubble Tournament are also well-known figures in the professional circle. They can earn hundreds of dollars a year when they are around 20 years old. They spend money without restraint and just buy some luxury goods. As if playing.
These qualities are superimposed together. The members of the five teams are incompatible with the hurried passengers around the station, and it is difficult not to be noticed.
Gu Xing is the one who dresses the least sociable among them.
He packed up very cleanly and wore an ordinary brand of white short-sleeved shirt. It felt like Uzi's Givenchy top could buy all his clothes, shoes and suitcases.
Gu Xing is not without money. In terms of savings, he may only have a little less than a pig dog who has been working for four or five years.
The main reason is that the consumption concept is different.
He is the kind of person who is willing to spend money to buy big things in one step. It is better to buy a car or a house. He has no pursuit of small money for food, drink and entertainment. He will spend it when he sees something suitable, otherwise he would rather keep the money in his pocket.
Despite this, he still didn't escape being rounded up by fans even though he was dressed like an ordinary student.
The popularity of this face has been successfully broken with the news of the first S championship in the LPL division and the first official Grand Slam last year!
It was now the peak time for back-to-school, and the station was crowded with college students, whose age group happened to be the audience of League of Legends. After the first fan shouted out, Gu Xing was in an embarrassing situation where he couldn't walk.
In the end, Kuro and Jin Wenhe formed a wall to protect Gu Xing from checking in and entering the station smoothly.
"Poppy, let's discuss something?" Gu Xing looked embarrassed as he adjusted his loose clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles on them, "Can you let the contestants spread out in the future? Once they get together, they will be discovered!"
Jin Yibo, who was traveling with him, knew that there was something wrong with the itinerary planning, so he couldn't help but nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will do it next time!"
"The main reason is that there are too many teams," Bobby sighed, "Five teams are really not enough..."
Uzi was thinking about the Bubble Tournament when he was suddenly reminded that his head was filled with questions.
What does it have to do with me?
After boarding the train, Gu Xing found a seat and put his suitcase away, finally able to relax and look at his phone.
The military training at Peking University ended today, and my girlfriend and sister have now boarded the bus back to school, and their excitement was clearly evident while chatting.
Gu Xing sent the final ticket information he had saved in advance to the two girls. After chatting with them for a while, he was free and ran to the Kang Bar to surf.
There have been no games in the LPL in recent days, and the discussions among the maggot babies are nothing more than the two semi-finals and the upcoming final.
Among them, the popularity of the game between VG and WE gradually decreased.
Now there are only a group of VG fans left in the forum who are bragging about Gu Xing's operations.
This is normal.
It is reasonable for VG to win the game, and it is not an upset comeback. Everyone has long been accustomed to it.
Although Kangba specializes in killing 60E, with the end of the WE1.0 era, 60E's ability to make monsters has declined rapidly, and it is no better than a dog son.
Maggot babies are making fun of WE in the forum, just like whipping corpses. There are not even a few 60Es in it, and there is no resistance at all. How can there be any fun at all?
It’s really not as comfortable and happy as killing dog fans. At least Uzi supporters will resist
[The stateless superpower is so powerful. Did he foresee that Uzi would be a super soldier two years in advance? 】
[Uzi came to RNG and played three LPL games in total, and never even made it to the finals. I hope everyone knows... Back then, the Royal Family could hang up EDG and beat them, but now they are stepped on and humiliated by Guodian, controlling variables. Does everyone know who the cause is? 】
[Uzi is like this. He plays his B lane all the time. I wonder if Faker at his peak wouldn't beat him in the lane? Lee Sang Hyuk played Imp+Mata in the middle and neither of them was timid. What happened next? No, we still need to transform. Now that we have both offense and defense, we can be the best in the world. Uzi will continue to press the line. I think others will have to catch him at level 2 sooner or later and kill him! 】
[Pull him down, the Emperor is not a good person, these two are just dog biting dogs]
[I have to say that Qijiao Uzi is really good at it. He exposed the chat records in S5 and caused OMG to fall out completely. In the spring game of S7, two people chased three people to crush RNG. In the summer game, he used another move to catch him at level 2, specifically following him. Uzi can’t get through】
[Ming Kai’s clever plan to bring peace to the world shocked the world as soon as he said it! 】
As an anti-bar experience book, Uzi has always been very popular.
Sometimes it's even more exaggerated than Gu Xing's discussion - after all, everyone is bragging about players like Gu Xing. Occasionally, when you encounter a few little black and purple people, their trolling skills are also very low-level, which makes people wonder whether Cross-dressing.
If the bar friends can't make a noise, there will be no experience to gain.
Uzi is different, with clear black spots on his body.
And there are no decent results, not even a league championship, but there are a lot of people who are touting them. Players with a lot of anti-fans and die-hard fans. Posts are always arguing about Uzi's status, and there are also loan champions who say they want to win. The sword is pointing at the S7 World Championship.
As a result of losing the semi-final this time, Uzi was verbally criticized in the forum, wishing to demote him to the point of being worthless.
Only then did Gu Xing understand why Wuzi was not in a good mood today.
It is estimated that the dual pressure of results and public opinion caused my mentality to collapse.
If Gu Xing is asked to evaluate Uzi, he will still admit Uzi's hard power from an objective point of view. Que has two brushes.
But if you want to be a teammate, forget it.
He just wants to play Lucian according to his own subjective wishes, instead of being forced to switch to the jungle position and fight with monsters.
Apart from the scolding battle related to Uzi, this is the preview of the LPL finals.
[VG must win, why bother thinking about it? Someone, bring up that emoticon! 】
【Coming, coming! ‘Do you still need to watch VG’s games? After waking up, it was another victory.jpg’】
[Don’t be too optimistic, I think EDG has a good chance of winning, the version is the real god! 】
[That’s right, VG is a very counter-version. Riot Games are the only ones who know how to cut down champions without losing face! 】
[No matter what, EDG will win! Scout is better than his master. As long as he inherits the strength of SKT's mid laner named Li, Kuro himself will start to shake his hands]
[Piggy, get out of here, don’t you think that if you resist me and curse Uzi, you’re just waiting to see you piggy, right? There is no explanation for the blitz against Poland, so keep your tail between your legs and don’t scream]
Not only did the maggot babies have their personal opinions, but players from other regions were also involved in the discussion.
Gu Xing saw that the official account of E+ was already publishing post-match interviews from other competition areas. Maggot Baby followed the principle of "Resist the first thief, and you will investigate if you steal again", and reprinted it directly from the E+ community.
SKT and Longzhu players who are about to participate in the LCK finals all gave their own answers.
Nine starters supported VG, and only Huni supported EDG.
"Although I like Clearlove players very much," Xiaohuahua said with a shy smile, "but there is a difference between closeness and distance, so I still support being more professional."
Lee Sang Hyuk's answer was more straightforward, "My vision is absolutely correct, VG cannot lose."
"There are two old teammates of mine in the VG team," Rat King said with a very honest smile, "Although I heard that boy Maibo cursed us not to enter the S7 World Championship during the interview, but we repay evil with kindness, and I sincerely wish VG can Win the game.”
When the camera turns to Huni, he explains why his views don't fit the crowd.
"My teammates all say that VG is better, but I have never played against them, so I don't know the strength at all, so I can only support my old rival EDG."
Huni said this with a devilish smile on his face.
In the S5 World Championship, he hit Guodian with both forehand and backhand in FNC, giving the opponent an unprecedented 4-0, and kicked the opponent out.
Now when he recalls that BO5 game, he feels extremely sour.
"As for VG... I secretly feel that we will meet each other in this year's World Championship," Huni clenched his fists and began to speak harshly, "When the time comes, I will definitely avenge SKT's defeat in last year's World Championship!"< br>
Perhaps because he has stayed in the European and American competitions for too long, Huni is very crazy about interviews.
The main character is extremely arrogant.
Gu Xing didn't say anything when he saw this and directly forwarded the video to Smeb.
"You bastard!" Song Jinghao jumped to his feet, "I haven't seen you for two years, but I'm so proud of him. Why didn't he scream when I, Riven, treated me like a pig? I started to succeed when I hugged SKT's big and thick legs... …”
He dialed Khan's phone number and directly gave the junior a death order.
"Jin Dongha, give labor and management some strength," Song Jinghao gritted his teeth, "Kill tomorrow in the LCK finals!"
Khan let out a loud and devilish laugh on the other end of the phone. Gu Xing couldn't understand their Korean exchange, so he simply continued to watch the interviews with players from other regions.
Not only do most LCK players support VG, but professional players from well-known teams in Europe, North America, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan also support Gu Xing.
In just one year, Gu Xing has conquered many players with his strength and social attributes.
Although EDG shined in the 2015 MSI, the only two veterans on the team were Nosuke, and relatively speaking, the players' reputations were far behind.
Not to mention the record of previous LPL matches, Guodian has no advantage at all!
Gu Xing also saw a professional fan at the end of the reposted content.
BrTT.
Delevingne's unique talent in the Brazilian region faced the camera and waved his arms in excitement, "Virtue, I have entered the S7 finals! I will treat you to dinner later!"
Gu Xing burst out laughing. When he saw BeTT's beard, he thought of Draven's face.
Smeb put down his phone and muttered, "I have made arrangements. Let Huni experience what pain is tomorrow. Jin Dongha has designated him to educate him well!"
Unfortunately, the opposite happened.
Khan's Jace Heavy Cannon was powerful enough to blast through the opponent's defense.
But SKT showed amazing hard power. In just five days, they stole the soft-assist double-guarantee system exposed by VG and used it for their own use!
It can only be said that VG revealed a trump card that directly changed the pattern of the professional arena.
Bang is not yet addicted to meditation, and his double-C combat effectiveness, including Faker, is at its peak!
SKT also operates a very traditional queuing team. The main difference between them and EDG is that they have one more sub-push position on the top lane.
In this final, the top laner is considered useless.
However, Huni was definitely defeated when facing Khan, but when he chose a big bug, he was stubborn and would rather miss the opponent than give the opponent a chance to consume.
After the team battle period, it was SKT's turn.
Faker's Clockwork Demon waved R three times, directly destroying the world and destroying the ground in an instant!
Bang's big mouth stays behind to cause crazy damage. He was originally the perfect output machine, and now he is even more at home with the protection of his teammates!
As BO5 progresses, Xiaohuahua's dissatisfaction with the version gradually becomes apparent.
Now he can't play purely herbivorous jungle.
He was even manipulated by Blank at one point!
Although Longzhu's top and middle lanes used their best efforts to win two games, SKT still had the last laugh thanks to their excellent teamfighting skills!
The finals start tomorrow.
7K words, 14.51W. Good guy, at the end of the season, everyone has become a water ghost. Can FPX beat EDG?
