Chapter 565 Chapter 565: MVP of the year!
The flashing lights in the stands were non-stop, accompanied by deafening cheers from the audience.
Once again, all five players were elected to the best team of the year.
This is the second time in LPL history that a similar situation has occurred.
The last time it happened was at the 2016 awards ceremony after VG won its first championship in the division!
There was a lot of discussion in the barrage.
[I’m not telling you, are the officials too biased towards VG? Give them the best lineup for two consecutive years, and don’t let others eat a piece of the cake]
[Pure fart, just tell me who can squeeze out the VG players, Jesnar Kenan, who is only half a top laner in the three versions of the super model, Letme, who is stable in the S game and is weak, or who can't even play Xia Turning Uzi? Not to mention EDG, the scene of Meiko giving SKT 10,000 to make a financial comeback is still vivid in my mind. Giving the best support of the year to Tian Ye is purely unconscionable]
[Does anyone remember how desperate everyone was after October 20th? The culprits are those two teams. Now that VG Bird's Nest has won the championship, you want to take credit again, right?]
[The top eight want to share the cake from the champion, but Chunchun doesn’t want to give up! I won’t even give it to you for the sparring group】
[Please, is the VG Grand Slam good? We have won all the way from the Spring Split to the World Championship. Just ask you what championship this year will bring, and why do you want to compete for the best lineup? 】
On the stage, five VG players have already received the trophy from Jin Yibo.
"Before joining VG, some people on the Internet have been scolding me for being unworthy of my reputation. Although I have no results, I still want to be ranked as the best top laner. Some netizens also said that I am destined to be defeated by SKT." Song Jinghao held the microphone and spoke, "Although I feel very sad in my heart. Depressed, but I also know that this is an indisputable fact.”
"However, in just one year, I gained countless honors and recognition, and personally defeated the enemy who had suppressed me for three years." Although his Chinese tone is very strange, it is difficult to conceal the sincerity in his tone, "I am very grateful to VG for providing me with this opportunity, and thank you to everyone who has always supported me."
Song Jinghao's eyes were full of memories. The S7 season was so dreamy to him that he could spend his whole life recalling it.
"Now, I can finally legitimately say that I am one of the strongest top laners!" He raised the trophy high with excitement.
You can even delete the word ‘one’.
There has never been a Grand Slam winner in the previous unit. Ma Datou, who has a league championship + S crown, does not have an MSI championship. Duke, who has an MSI championship, does not have an S championship, and the league honors are not very high.
Only Song Jinghao, with three league championship trophies, plus MSI and S championships, is currently the best in the world in the field of honors!
Kuro's thanks were more straightforward.
"It was Pingu who attracted me to VG in the first place. After watching the S6 finals, I was deeply impressed by the strength he showed." Li Ruixing looked back at his jungler, "Facts have proved that my choice was right. Pingu Gu’s improvement in the team is unimaginable and cannot be described in words!”
"I can win this trophy for the best mid laner of the year, and all the credit is due to me!" Kuro also used an idiom he had learned from Mr. Hou earlier.
Li Ruixing thought that 1/3 of the credit was not enough to thank Gu Xing for his efforts, and he once wanted to stuff the trophy into Gu Xing's arms.
Gu Xing smiled and hugged him, enjoying the cheers from countless fans in the stands.
Not long after he stepped off the stage, it was the turn of the most popular contestant to be awarded the award.
There is no suspense, Gu Xing collects another trophy!
He is currently the most popular in the entire LPL region. His double-championship reputation and his good appearance and character make it reasonable for him to have many supporters.
Gu Xing routinely thanked the audience and teammates, and when he came off the stage holding the high-quality trophy, he happened to bump into Gui Jiaoqi.
"Hey, you don't know why!" Gu Xing smiled and greeted the other party, "Are you quite happy that you didn't gain anything today?"
EDG was nearly wiped out at this awards ceremony. Only the Manager of the Year was won by Guodian's Shen Mingjun. Even the Rookie of the Year that Iboy was targeting was snatched away by Shi Senming!
But now Gui Jiao Qi smiles brightly, and the dead fish eyes that usually look a little frightened are curled up, and it seems that his mentality is not affected by being accompanied by him all the way.
"What's wrong with you," Ming Kaile said Youyou, "Xiao Gu, just continue to be crazy, I will definitely have you with good juice next year!"
Gu Xing heard the implication and immediately raised his eyebrows.
"How do you say," he asked curiously, "is there any progress in signings during the transfer period?"
Gui Jiao Qi said proudly, "That's natural, I signed the contract just now!"
Gu Xingzheng was wondering who Guodian's recruiting target was, and his buzzing cell phone informed him of the answer.
"It's all about the pot," Little Peanut's excited voice echoed in his ears, "We will fight in the same division next season!"
"Congratulations," Gu Xing waved goodbye to Gui Jiao Qi who left, and congratulated Han Wanghu from the bottom of his heart, "Let's go out to have a meal together then."
"Sure," Xiaohuahua promised. "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Brother Lu Zhe. He tried his best to invite me to EDG, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to go."
Nofe was the head coach of the Tigers and was very close to Peanut.
He has always wanted to recreate the manic bulldozer mode of ROX in Guodian, so he trained EDG into a team that focuses on early offense.
The players of Hechengxiang are not accustomed to the local environment. Their advantage in the laning phase is not as good as that of the Tigers, and they have completely forgotten the mid- and late-game operations that they were good at before.
In the end, EDG was stunned!
The management of Guodian still trusts Nofe.
After all, the huge advantage of 10,000 yuan in the World Championship was overturned. It had nothing to do with the coaching tactics. It was purely because the players themselves were not rigorous in their own play, giving the opponent a chance to reverse the situation.
The team can achieve a 1W economic difference through early arrangements. Isn't it the coach's credit?
Abramovich thought so too, and chose to listen to Nofe's advice, choosing the latter from the two new foreign players who came to work in the LPL, Casa and Xiaohuahua.
"Where's the top orderer?" Gu Xing began to make full use of his connections to gather information, "I saw that Mouse officially announced his departure from the team two days ago."
After signing Xiaohuahua, the only top order option left for Guodian is the domestic one.
But Gu Xing knows only too well how scarce domestic top laners are now!
957 and Holy Spear Brother are not for sale in their respective teams. No matter how powerful EDG is, there is no way they can recruit these two figures into their ranks.
The rest...
It’s impossible to find Letme, right?
That's no different from Mouse!
When Gu Xingzheng was confused, Little Peanut revealed the answer.
"You'd never expect that person...XiaoAL!" He read out his teammate ID for next season in broken Chinese.
Gu Xing suddenly realized.
Guodian's recruitment target is actually Suning's top laner Lang Xing!
"Yes," Gu Xing was very surprised, "EDG's lineup will be quite impactful next year."
The reputation of Wolf Walking Theory is definitely not as good as Holy Spear Brother 957.
But it's not bad in terms of strength. He can be called the president of Suning. He dragged the team forward in the summer split and had the style of Jin Gong back then.
This move to EDG, combined with the first-line midfielder pair of Xiaohuayu + Xiaoxiao, will undoubtedly raise the overall strength of the first half of Guodian to a higher level!
Coupled with the bottom lane duo of Iboy and Meiko, EDG's overall configuration is undoubtedly aimed at the LPL championship!
"You're not panicking at all, are you?" Peanut joked, "If we beat VG then, we'll have to fight hard!"
Gu Xing coldly snorted, holding the trophy and replied disdainfully, "Originally, I thought Mingkai would retire, and EDG might not be able to give us warmth if they change junglers, but I didn't expect that it would be your little peanut in exchange. Is the pressure good? ”
He was obviously hinting at the identity of Prince Peanut circulated on the Internet.
When Gu Xing caught Han Wang, he almost caught him right away, pushing him to the ground and beating him violently every time!
Peanut was furious, "Just show me, I will definitely take revenge next season!"
"Ah, right, right," Gu Xing said perfunctorily, "I, Qiuqiu, don't just show off with your words. If you have the guts to beat me first, then you can talk."
After hanging up the phone, he returned to his seat and took the coke that Kuro offered him attentively, pouring it into his mouth.
"Can I do that?" Li Ruixing came over to take credit, "I know you don't like to drink Pepsi, so I bought Coca-Cola specially!"
Gu Xing has long been accustomed to the goodwill shown by his mid laner, "It's great, I'll give you a little reward... By the way, why am I a little distracted when I look at other teams today?"
Lu Wenjun laughed out loud, "Because of the transfer period!"
"Usually, the award ceremony is held before the transfer period. Whether it is the players or the management, it can still maintain the surface of peace," he began to point out leisurely, "What do you think about now?"
"Those who are leaving the team are still worried about their next home, and those who are not leaving are thinking about who will partner with them next season. The management is still busy reinforcing the team. Who wants to go to the award ceremony?" Lu Wenjun pointed to the back, "Have you seen the boss of Jingdong? He is handing out business cards to others in the whole place!"
Cao Cao was about to arrive. When Lan Boqing saw Gu Xing looking back at him, he immediately jumped over.
"Brother Xing, brother Xing, why did you negotiate to renew the contract so quickly?" He looked regretful, "To be honest, it's not impossible to increase the quotation."
Gu Xing stretched out his hand and shook it, "I have seriously considered JD.com, but after careful consideration, I still feel that VG is more suitable for me."
Lan Boqing couldn't be angry at this time. The team's foothold in the LPL was not stable, so offending Gu Xing was not a wise choice.
"Then we will cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future..."
Gu Xing started to draw the cake and said, "Next time!"
Lan Baiqing said hello to the VG members, and then hurriedly went to find other players to issue recruitment orders.
Now that all members of VG have renewed their contracts, no matter how strong they are, their attraction to him has dissipated.
"I heard that JDG bought the golden left hand from YM and wanted to form a team around Knight." Lu Wenjun had nothing to do, so he was responsible for telling the players the information he had.
"Knight?" Gu Xing was stunned at first when he heard this ID, and then realized that it was Wang Wushuang, a passerby he had met in Ionia before.
Duan Deliang interrupted, "Although Knight is quite talented, he still has little qualifications to be the core of a team, right?"
Lu Wenjun shrugged his shoulders, "There is no way. JDG wrote a lot of bad checks at the beginning of the transfer period. As a result, none of the big-name players he targeted were in place. If he makes a move now, he will be a big step behind other teams and can only start from the secondary league. Recruit talents.”
In the final analysis, JDG's management from owner to manager is too young, experiencing the LPL transfer period for the first time, and has problems in formulating strategies.
Top players will definitely ask about the lineup first after receiving an excess salary - unless they want to sign a pension contract, it is impossible for players of this level to be indifferent to the strength of the lineup.
As a result, Lan Baiqing claimed that he would give all the autonomy to the star players to choose, and he would only be responsible for paying.
But the top players didn’t believe it at all!
There are not many good players on the market, and most of them are not for sale.
I want Gu Xinglai to be my companion. Can you bring him to JD.com?
It only provides players with salaries and benefits, but lacks an overall consideration of the team's skills and tactics. It is even unclear what kind of lineup it wants to build, and it is impossible to attract famous players to join!
Now they can only find core players from the secondary leagues to play the role of the cornerstone of the team.
Gu Xing shook his head, too lazy to continue caring about things that had little to do with him. He concentrated on listening to Ren Dong's sonorous and powerful speech on the stage.
Lin Weixiang and his NB teammates were sitting in the back row of the players' seats. From a distance, they could only see the backs of the VG players' heads in the front row.
He looked at Gu Xingjie's back holding the trophy and talking and laughing with the people around him, and felt extremely envious.
EDG, who was accompanying me, finally won the best manager award, while NB was a pure and transparent person!
The players are the equivalent of the audience in suits.
As Lu Wenjun said, the NB members didn't even want to enjoy the award ceremony, they were all too busy looking for a new home.
They received news early in the team that the boss wanted to sell the LPL seats quickly because he could not afford the 30 million deposit.
When the new boss takes over, it’s unclear how many of the original NB players will be left!
You must know that their performance is quite average, and they have repeatedly dived into the relegation zone. If they encounter a cruel boss and choose not to renew their contract, all NB members will become unemployed and work in the factory to work screws!
Liu Qingsong sighed and was very pessimistic about the future.
Gao Tianliang of the Seven Wolves said there was no cat cake, and the team was relegated continuously. If he wants to stay in the LPL, it will be difficult to achieve success!
To be fair, Liu Qingsong's performance in S7 was not as good as Lin Weixiang, and he was once forced to watch the water dispenser on the bench.
You can imagine how difficult it is to find a job!
The two of them were thinking about whether to go back and change the Korean server ID to the prefix of the team, trying to get the ranking higher to attract the attention of other teams, when they saw a fair man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a beard. Stand in front of yourself.
Big eyebrows full of question marks.
"Are you interested in trying out for our team?" The man handed his business card to Lin Weixiang, hesitated for a moment, and then sent another one to Liu Qingsong beside him.
"Introduce yourself, IG manager Su Xiaoluo." He stretched out his hand to shake the Xiangsong duo.
Liu Qingsong's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Gu Xing, who was sitting in the front row, had no intention of paying attention to the IG manager in the back row, who was creating another whirlpool during the transfer period.
Just because the next award is closely related to myself.
Jin Yibo stood on the stage and showed everyone the envelope in his hand.
"In the envelope is the list of our LPL's annual MVP winners. I believe everyone is looking forward to it..."
Before he could finish his routine words, he was drowned out by the roaring sound from the stands!
The audience shouted Gu Xing's ID in unison, and a surging wave quickly formed and swept the entire audience!
Jin Yibo raised his lips, obviously very satisfied with Gu Xing's current popularity.
"Let's take a look at the big screen first, the data of the five candidates..."
In addition to Gu Xing, the candidates for the annual MVP include RNG midfielder, EDG midlaner and Song Jinghao.
That being said, judging from the data panel alone, it is quite good.
Scout is at the forefront of the league in terms of team participation rate and MVP number. After joining Guodian for a year and a half, his cooperation with the team has become increasingly close, and he has gradually shown his dazzling talents.
Xiaohu, on the other hand, has a considerable lead in terms of average damage per point and proportion of team output. His excellent league performance slightly overshadowed his poor performance in the World Championship. Of course, the more important thing is that there are more helpers in the team to attract firepower.
Xiangguo even achieved a terrifying average of 1.44 successful raids per game, ranking among the best among all players!
But it still pales in comparison to VG Ueno's data.
Song Jinghao's average damage per point is 522 (1st), the team damage accounted for 23.3% (1st), and the average matchup lead per game is +1557 (1st)...
Gu Xing’s team participation rate is 88.5% (1st), KDA is 9.2 (1st), injury rate is 34.4% (1st), average invasion and jungle clearing is 19.5 (1st) per game, average matchup lead is +2395 (1st)...
There were endless exclamations, resounding in every corner of the theater!
Jin Yibo didn't give in. He opened the envelope and saw the familiar ID on it, and his smile immediately brightened.
"Annual MVP winner...Virtue, congratulations!"
Gu Xing let out a long breath and stood up again to hug his teammates.
"I knew it!" Kuro was elated, watching Gu Xing win a major award, and he was even happier than he was when he won the award. "It would be unusual if Gu Xing didn't win the annual MVP for your performance!"
Song Jinghao also nodded repeatedly. He was now convinced of Gu Xing, and it was reasonable for him to lose the competition within the team.
Gu Xing accepted the congratulations from his teammates with a smile, and then went to find the other three finalists to greet them warmly.
Liu Shiyu knew early on that he had no chance - losing to Gu Xing in the same position for the best jungler of the year award meant that he would never have the slightest chance of winning the award.
He was quite convinced by Gu Xing's strength and slapped Gu Xing's back hard to express his inner joy.
"Don't ruin it again," Gu Xing reminded kindly, "This suit will have to be returned in the future. It's quite expensive."
Xiangguo stopped immediately without saying anything.
Just kidding, his salary of 20,000 yuan a month couldn't afford Gu Xing's luxury suit.
Gu Xing strode toward the stage with a spotlight on his head.
During the process, a rich narration voice read out the award speech.
"With his unparalleled and superb jungle control skills, he dominated the LPL jungle area throughout the spring. The number of MVPs in a single season that broke the historical record of the division proves his tyranny."
"He is the well-deserved absolute leader of the team. Even if the version changes, he cannot stop him from continuing to control the jungle, map control, and vision layout... He showed another side of himself to the world in the summer, and his impact on the battle situation is obvious to all."
"He is an open spear, transforming into a blind monk and launching a fierce offensive like a sudden storm; he is also a hidden arrow, transforming into Kindred, flashing around in the wilderness, showing off his ghostly skills."
"It is the best interpretation of his jungle style that he is surprisingly upright. He was the patron saint of the competition area in the past, and now he is the king of the Bird's Nest for the second time and creates a legend!"
The live broadcast room was bustling with people, and the number of barrages exploded to the extreme.
【Well deserved! 】
[No one else has an explanation. Two consecutive S championships, two FMVPs, and a Grand Slam. I don’t know how to lose in the awards! 】
【彳亍, I am Superman! 】
[Shi Yiye is here, everyone, please stand back! 】
Gu Xing took the heavy trophy from Jin Yibo and straightened the microphone toward the audience.
“First of all, I have to thank the organizers, the audience on site and in the live broadcast room, and I also want to thank my teammates...”
He first eloquently mentioned the groups that had to be thanked one by one, causing a burst of noise in the stands.
"Being able to win the annual MVP award again is a recognition of my hard work this season," Gu Xing smiled brightly. "Before the award ceremony started, the host asked me what my goals were tonight. I said at the time that I wanted to buy some goods and fill them up with trophies. Showcase, now it’s a dream come true.”
He is undoubtedly the biggest winner tonight.
As long as you nominate, you will receive awards, and they are all very valuable and top-notch awards!
However, from the players to the audience, there is no objection to this.
The dominance Gu Xing has shown throughout the year is truly astonishing.
Looking at the history of League of Legends e-sports, it is difficult to find such a terrifying individual performance!
"At the beginning of the S7 season, I set winning the Bird's Nest Cup as my annual goal. Fortunately, the team overcame obstacles along the way and won the Summoner's Trophy," Gu Xinghuai is full of ambitions. "My next goal is It still won’t change, it’s still the champion of the S competition!”
"Our era has just begun!"
The noisy cheers in the stands were so loud that they seemed to overturn the dome of the theater!
After Gu Xing set the flag of "Don't lose a game and win the championship" countless times and achieved it perfectly, the audience had full confidence in his bold words, and felt that this top jungler had some outrageous skills that followed his words.
When the award ceremony came to an end, Gu Xing turned around and received another piece of news from Ding Jun.
The LPL seats offered by VGP were sold through bidding.
The buyer is none other than Gamer Nation, Prodigal Eye ROG!
"92 million, tsk tsk tsk... After the alliance, the seat fee has really skyrocketed," Ding Jun was so happy that his heart bubbling, "I will give some bonuses to the players of the second team later!"
He didn't want to treat the players badly.
Anyway, now that the club has introduced E+, there is no financial pressure. Giving small players a little bonus is just a small investment.
"What about the original VGP people? What should we do with them?" Gu Xing was very concerned.
"Lan Boqing named Zhang Xingran, Xiaotian and Xia Lu Nanfu. As for Zeng Qi, I can only arrange for him to acquire NB's FPX... which is a subsidiary of Qujia and is quite famous in the gaming industry. ”
The fate of VGP players seems to be pretty good. At least they have LPL games to play in, so their talents are not buried.
"Oh, by the way," Gu Xing suddenly realized that he had overlooked someone, "Where is Bai Jiahao?"
He and Bai Jiahao were not particularly familiar, but the shape of the other person's braised egg was so eye-catching that Gu Xing was deeply impressed.
Ding Jun probably also thought of Bai Jiahao's weird head shape, and replied with a suppressed smile, "Him? The first team can't go. Finally, after discussing with the manager of the second team, he decided to stay in the secondary league and struggle."
Gu Xing was puzzled.
In terms of personal strength, Bai Jiahao is currently not as good as Zoom who is at his peak, but his talent is visible to the naked eye. If a weak team buys him and trains him carefully, he may not be able to make a name for himself.
Before he could ask a question, he heard Ding Jun, who was extremely excited about selling his quota at a high price, turn into a talkative person and answer his questions.
"After the alliance, the first official requirement is to strictly control the age of the players. The previous situation like Uzi, Tian Ye, Jack and Iboy who blurred the age and entered the game early will never happen again in the future."
Gu Xing deeply expressed his gratitude to Sister Li.
The LPL alliance has made it clear that it must take the path of formalization.
In the future, not only the age of the players will be taken into consideration, but also the work types in the e-sports industry chain such as commentators will need to improve their business capabilities, striving to bring a better and orderly viewing experience to the audience from all aspects.
If some young people under the age of 17 come to play in the game, if they are reported by others, it will not only be difficult for Riot to explain, but also for the leaders of LPL Tonghuakou.
"Bai Jiahao's birthday is in July 2001. If he wants to play, he has to wait until the latter part of the summer game in July next year." Ding Jun finally got to the point. "Weak teams have to raise him for half a year first, but if he wants to let go If you’re playing in the second team, you might as well stay in VG!”
Gu Xing finally understood.
"The seat released by the official was bought by Belle, but I don't know what name to change it to..." Ding Jun muttered in his mouth, and then he remembered the business and gave a few quick instructions.
"Xiao Gu, you should take the time to rest, you have to attend the All-Star Games in two days!"
Gu Xing didn't take it seriously, "Wouldn't it be nice to just go on a trip? This was the case in Barcelona last year. The nine of us played Mingkai as a ball..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ding Jun, "This year is different!"
"This time the All-Star Game has become a main event, and each division will form a representative team to compete for the championship trophy!"
After hearing this, Gu Xing immediately collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move, his expression was very decadent, "Spare me! I've been spinning for a whole year, and I want to play BO5 again?!"
"Ristit, you are simply doing this for the sake of ratings regardless of the lives of the players!" he complained.
It is said to be an All-Star game, but as long as the competition is 5v5 in the division with real swords and guns, there will be no room for players to indulge in laziness.
Players who lose the game can comfort themselves that it is just an entertainment event, but the audience will never think so.
In the future, the criminal records from the All-Star Game may be used to settle old scores!
Gu Xing said goodbye to Ding Jun, opened his phone to find the voting interface, and immediately voted for the jungle position to the second-place Xiang Guo, trying to use his small vote to reverse the situation.
But it is destined to be a useless effort.
On the voting interface, Gu Xing topped the list with 94.36% of the votes for the jungle position!
Xiangguo didn’t even get 4% of the votes!
At first, Gu Xing was very happy when he saw the vote rates in other positions. He once thought that the entire VG team could go to the All-Star Game.
However, taking another look at the rules, I found that Riot was still the same as before, restricting each team to only send two players to participate!
send!
Gu Xing felt desperate.
All-Stars will be over soon.
Regarding daily matters, Zhang said that there are many criticisms, and the progress of the main plot line is indeed very slow.
Many readers reported that they didn’t come to read Alliance Wenshui’s daily mixed word count.
First of all, I have to make it clear that I can see the subscription data in the background. I can see what type of chapter is more convenient to write. Just look at the subscription data. This is not a lie - most authors do the same.
But the number of subscriptions for the daily chapters of this book is really high!
In the three S7 finals, the average number of subscriptions was around 8,500. In the following chapters, except for the chapters about winning the championship, the number of 24-hour subscriptions has reached 9,500. I will put the picture in the chapter description. I don’t know if it can be approved by the official. But this is really the case.
In the two days after winning the championship, the subscription data will definitely go up. I know this very well, but the subscription data has been higher than the finals for many days in a row. I don’t know what it means, but I must find my way and write more about my daily life.
However, there was a lot of opposition in the comment area.
To be honest, for league writers, daily life is definitely more difficult to write than games. Too many jokes are not enough, and too few are too straightforward.
Although I still don’t understand why the daily subscription data of those chapters are so high, there are many readers who object, so I will speed up the pace and start the new season immediately.
The process of S8 will not be as detailed as that of S7. Less important games will be covered in one go, and the key games and changes in the team will be mainly written.
As for how to fight IG, I will write it clearly.
PS: Can LNG lose? But there’s one thing to say, fans are quite scary, they sneered in front of Tazan
(End of chapter)
