Chapter 580 Chapter 580: The sword is coming!
On the match day of February 7th, when Gu Xing left the VG base, he found that bright red Spring Festival couplets had been posted on the door.
Before you know it, the LPL spring regular season has been going on for three and a half weeks, and the Lunar New Year is coming.
This game against RW is VG's last game before the new year. The training department will go on vacation that night and everyone can move around freely.
"Wenhe, don't forget to tell your employees to set a time in advance and release the New Year greeting videos recorded by the contestants on New Year's Day." Lu Wenjun didn't forget to tell his team leader when he boarded the bus, "Remember to draw another prize and send the signature team Send the clothes and postcards.”
Jin Wenhe nodded hurriedly and agreed, "No problem, we will show the microphone program and Vlog before the New Year. A video every two days will just last until the New Year."
The VG training department has already been on the right track after two years of vigorous development. In terms of standardized operations, it is also unique in the LPL competition area.
They are one step ahead of other clubs to deploy at Station B. At present, the number of fans on a single website has exceeded 2.2 million. All other teams in the competition area combined are not as good as VG!
Moreover, the frequency and quality of video updates are well-known, and the number of views is increasing day by day, which can be regarded as a disguised form of giving back some blood to the team.
"When are you going back, Gu?" Kuro sat in the front row of the car and turned around to ask his jungler.
"Well... tomorrow," Gu Xing replied, "If it's too late, we won't be able to celebrate the Little New Year."
It happened that I could go back to my hometown from the imperial capital with my sister and my girlfriend, and the three of them booked the same high-speed train.
In fact, Peking University has already entered the winter vacation, but Gu Pan has to keep an eye on E+, and Shen Guanshan has to pack his luggage. After all, he will go to Paris for exchange after the new year and won't be back to the university dormitory for half a year, so he has to pack everything in advance.
It is worth mentioning that the winter vacation of universities in France is not very long. It will be divided into three areas ABC for about two weeks starting from mid-February. Area C where Paris is located can just cover the Lunar New Year. Shen Guanshan Plan Wait until the seventh day of the first lunar month to go there and prepare to register.
The two girls stayed in Beijing for their own reasons. During this period, they often watched VG games, and today was no exception.
"What a pity," Kuro said regretfully, "I was worried that you would be bored, so I wanted to stay at the base with you for two more days!"
"Hey, you're such a nice person!" Gu Xing teased with a smile.
Song Jinghao said sullenly from the side, "Brother Rui Xing just wants to get points with you in double queue, otherwise he will almost fall from the top spot!"
Kuro suddenly became anxious, "How could you accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air?!"
Meeting Gu Xing's gaze, he hurriedly defended himself, "You are just listening to Mai Bo's nonsense. The main reason is that I have nothing to do when I return home, so I want to stay in the base to get higher points..."
KR doesn’t pay much attention to the Spring Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival and Christmas are the festivals that attract the most attention. The New Year must be held a little later.
Even if Li Ruixing returns to China in the past two days, the professional players he is close to are all training to prepare for the LCK, and it would be inconvenient for him to disturb them.
Kuro, who was quite bored, felt that he might as well stay at the base to access the free Internet and go back until New Year's Eve.
It's true that I want to communicate with Gu Xing, and it's true that I want to score some points in the middle and jungle tandem. It all depends on what I say.
"If you're bored, just go shopping in the Imperial Capital. There won't be many tourists around the New Year, so you can calm down and wander around the scenic spots," Gu Xing came up with an idea, "If that doesn't work, just look for Xiao Peanut." Huh? I guess he has nothing to do.”
"That's right!" Kuro suddenly realized, and hit the palm with his fist, "This year's prosperous period is also here, so I have company!"
Song Jinghao complained for himself, "No, I'm not a human being in your eyes, am I?"
"You?" Li Ruixing glanced at him, his tone full of disdain, "Go and stay where you can cool off!"
Ever since Song Jinghao also showed his tendency to be a dog licker, Kuro has become territorial and always dislikes the other person.
Smeb was naturally dissatisfied and rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, insisting on teaching Big Brother a lesson.
Gu Xing couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the people in his house laughing and joking, and took out his cell phone to surf the bar.
The post bar is as lively as ever.
Apart from the increasingly popular rating posts, the most eye-catching ones are the translation of information from external websites and the preview of various events, with a frighteningly high number of comments.
It has to be said that during VG’s two consecutive championships of dominance, it was not only the national server that reaped the dividends, but also competition forums such as Kangba were soaring in popularity!
{How do you evaluate the S7 World Championship viewership data released by Riot Games? }
When Gu Xing saw this post, he couldn't wait to click in and take a look.
[The 2017 Global Finals champion and runner-up final broke his own record as the most watched e-sports event in the world——
This year's World Championship finals were broadcast on 31 platforms and 18 languages through 19 broadcasters, with an average audience per minute (AMA) of 34,407,266, an increase of 43.89% from 2016 (the previous all-time high), and The peak number of simultaneous viewers was 5,500,732, an increase of 50.33% compared to 2016! ]
The extremely exaggerated data made Gu Xing speechless.
When Mouse Channel announced the record-breaking ratings of the S7 World Championship on a single platform, he was optimistic about the overall viewing data of the S7 World Championship.
But even so, Gu Xing still had to say something horrifying about such astonishing data!
The maggot babies also reacted violently.
[Wairui, what level of data is this? 】
[It can only be said that the PC e-sports will always be the god, leading by a gap! 】
[The Bird's Nest is still the best in winning the championship. I estimate that more than half of the game viewing data must be contributed by Chinese people]
[VG must have won the championship last year. I can’t even imagine how many copies of the championship skin could be sold when the Bird’s Nest won the cup! 】
Gu Xing was filled with emotion, saved the post data in the photo album, and continued reading.
{The LPL battle is in full swing. The defending champion VG will face the new team RW at home. Who will be undefeated before the year? }
This is an event preview post, and the author also specifically noted that the following data comes from E+.
[Currently, both teams have a six-game winning streak of 3 wins and 0 losses in big games and have not lost a single game so far. Among them, RW is even slightly ahead in terms of average time per game. The average time per game is only 28 minutes and 20 seconds, and the first 15 minutes The economic lead is as high as +2235; in comparison, VG is even better in neutral resource control rate, especially Xiaolong's control rate as high as 88.9%, which is 20% more than the second-placed team. It is completely a fault-type rule! ]
[In terms of personal data, Xing Ge is much higher than Kasa, especially the average output is as high as 525. He is actually among the mid laners. I have to say it is outrageous after I pulled the data from E+! However, Casa’s average number of ganks per game is higher, and he is not a leader. He only gets 0.28 kills for each successful attack. Basically, he gives up all the economy to his teammates. It feels like two styles of junglers]
There was a lot of discussion under the post, and friends expressed their opinions.
[Fuck you, will VG lose to RW? 】
[To be honest, both teams are 6/0 in small games, and there is a gap. Who is VG playing? IG, Suning and RNG! On the other hand, RW defeated LGD and then defeated VG's second team JDG. Before coming to the imperial capital, they defeated Suning. Except for a common victim, the previous opponents of the two teams were not at the same level at all! 】
[If nothing else, Brother Xing can definitely hang Kasa on a tree and whip him around. Does anyone really think that these two junglers are on the same level? 】
[There is a saying that a RW double C is really not weak, Poison Coin + Sima Old Thief, it should be regarded as the first double C in the World Championship]
[All the fancy titles are coming, and the first double C in the world competition...RW's double C career has been so far that it can't even enter the S competition, why do you still have the nerve to compete with VG? Don't make me laugh! 】
[That’s right, if you don’t understand, just ask Poison Coin when will the next break between midfielder and jungler take place? Why don't Baolan use Pan Sen's support today to fight against the old thief's autism, and then go to the Flame Rat to live broadcast it? Let's not talk about anything else, the effect of the program must be to die for]
At present, VG relies on its high popularity and tough foreign war honors, and there is already a trend of unified resistance.
Now it’s hard to find a maggot baby in the comment area who can speak for RW!
Gu Xing flipped through two pages and found that they were all words of praise for VG.
Take two deep breaths, calm down and prepare to seriously face the upcoming key game.
He won't get carried away just because of a few compliments in the forum.
Even if you just look at the strength on paper, you know that RW is very strong.
The mid-field combination composed of Casa + Doinb is very strong, especially Wolf King. His tactical style that focuses on early and mid-term play is very suitable for the current three-core version.
At the same time, Casa rarely sucks blood. In other words, it can transfer resources and make teammates develop more smoothly. When the C position is allowed to take over the game in the later stage, it can snowball to crush the opponent!
This is also the reason why RW can compress the average time of points. The secret to the team's victory lies in team play - after all, the team's top laner is Mouse, and it is unrealistic to play solo. Team battles are his domain, usually one or two After the wave group is defeated, the enemy base can be flattened.
Gu Xing specially watched RW's teamfight performance during the pre-match preparations, and he could only describe it as "pleasant to watch".
He will definitely not take it lightly!
After arriving at the venue, Gu Xing signed in and put on makeup step by step, then went to the stage to adjust the equipment and wait for the game to start.
……
"Welcome to the VG Arena of the Imperial City Ditan Sports Center!"
Remember to show anticipation on your face and greet the audience with a loud voice, "The game that is about to begin can be said to be the most important event of the year. The two sides are VG and RW. They will determine the top spot in the Eastern Conference before the year!"< br>
Partner Ze Yuan took over the topic, "I have to praise Karsa. RW started from scratch in just two months. The team members did not have any running-in during this time. The linkage tacit understanding is almost non-existent, but Karsa gave full play to the cohesion." The function of the mixture is to piece together RW to form an offensive blade!”
The RW members wearing black and red team uniforms were chatting and laughing in the player seats. The word "Xia" on their chests is particularly eye-catching. As for the sponsors, they are Asus and its sub-brands. It is estimated that they can put together a set of family buckets.
Kasa rubbed the baby to warm it up and wanted to quickly warm his hands.
Although the air conditioning is turned on in the venue, the imperial capital is not covered in winter, and the temperature is still very low. Karsa must not be used to it coming from Treasure Island.
There was ambition in his eyes.
After coming to the LPL division, Casa didn't want to go back.
The salary is high, the teammates are nice to talk to, and the competitiveness is so much higher than on the island... Only a fool would return to the LMS!
The previous three victories were not gold enough in Casa's opinion.
He eagerly wants to defeat VG as a vote to work in the LPL, and to prove that he has the ability to occupy a foreign player quota in the team!
"BP starts, RW is on the blue side, come up and send Qinggang Shadow to the ban position first!" Remember to cheer up.
"It seems that he is still quite afraid of Brother Xing," Zeyuan said cheerfully, "The Qinggang Shadow that Brother Xing used a few days ago was very effective, exerting unparalleled pressure on King Ning in the jungle!"
"VG sent Ryze to the ban position, so there is no problem." Remember to nod and confirm Redmi's BP idea, "Doinb used Ryze in 3 games in the spring split before this, and the winning rate was as high as 100%!"
Kim Tae-sang likes heroes who farm quickly, can bring lanes and support, and can produce half-tank equipment with strong fault tolerance.
In the current version, Ryze, who uses passive energy to generate shields, is simply one of Doinb's natal heroes!
Naturally, Redmi will not put it out there for opponents to choose from on the red side.
The RW head coach stood behind Casa and kept flipping through the notebook in his hand.
He has an unusually large body, and standing behind the Wolf King makes people feel safe.
Paired with a head of curly hair, it becomes the most recognizable appearance symbol.
It’s none other than Flash Wolves’ top laner, senior Mimi Dan, Steak!
After retiring from the S5 World Championship, he turned into a coach and has been staying with Flash Wolves. Last winter, he was invited by Casa and decided to abandon the dark side and join the bright side to gain experience in the LPL, which is in a promising situation.
Now he is doing his homework very seriously. He continues to ask the team members to carry out BP according to the pre-match arrangement and block Jack's Verus.
According to the information he has, Jack played 5 rounds of Verus in the first 6 small games of the Spring Split. Not only did he have a 100% winning rate, but his on-field performance was also remarkable!
Steak believes that it is necessary to give this talented boy a ban.
After seeing Hongmi ban Baolan's signature Tamu, he turned back and blocked Song Jinghao's vampire.
Mouse in the team is a blue-collar top laner, and there are not many effective damage heroes. How to deal with Song Jinghao's strong single point is one of the problems that bothers Steak.
He had to send a ban position to target Smeb, trying to limit the top laner.
Seeing that Red Rice's last ban was given to Ornn, Steak immediately asked for the jungler's opinion, "What are you going to play, Kasa? Do you think it's OK with Jarvan or Swanee?"
"I don't think it's feasible," Casa objected subconsciously. "If we take these two characters, Gu Xing will definitely choose a strong carnivorous jungler to come to the jungle to find me."
Players on the same team did not show any doubts when they heard the strange yet familiar hero's name.
In training matches since the team was founded, they have often heard junglers and coaches communicate in this way.
Since they just came to LPL not long ago, the two have not yet fully adapted to the naming convention of the Chinese server. Most of the time, they still use the same name as the Taiwan server.
Swaani is the pig girl of Sejuani. In the current jungle environment, she is a purely weak hero. It is extremely difficult to invade the counter jungle!
After all, not everyone is Gu Xing and can use Pig Girl to kill Qinggang Ying alone.
Kasa doesn’t think he has the strength.
If the herbivorous jungler is invaded by Gu Xing, his overall rhythm will fall into chaos again!
After hearing this, Steak indicated that he understood the concerns of his jungler, and he had a prototype of the lineup in his mind. He turned to Mouse, "How about you use Gangplank?"
Mouse nodded vigorously, "Yes, captain, I'm good at it!"
The captain is one of the few carry-type top laners he can choose. Just like Baiyun's Qinggangying, he is an alternative bottom.
Steak thought that since the version was strong anyway, it wouldn't hurt to grab it, so he asked Mouse to lock the character himself.
Without thinking, Hongmi decisively won the combination of yellow chicken + bull head.
"Brother Coin, do you want to play God and Demon in this round?" Steak gave the team's star players full freedom of choice.
Doinb made a decision after thinking for a long time, "I think you can choose a clockwork, and the brushing is not much worse than a yellow chicken."
Steak readily agreed, "Then Casa, just play Li Xing, it's easier to cooperate."
After discussing with the team members for a while, Redmi's third pick in the first round decided to pick out a hero that is relatively unpopular in the professional arena.
Sword Princess Fiona!
Zeyuan on the commentary table stared, "Come on, Maibo's Sword Girl performed brilliantly in S5. Today, when we use her to face Mouse's captain, she must be trying to break through at a single point and tear open the enemy's defense line!"
There was a lot of noise in the barrage.
[Guigui, Maibo is ready to kill! 】
[Open a game and guess how many minutes Mouse can beat]
[If I can hold it for 15 minutes, I will recognize Mouse as a real man and eat two kilograms of rice fields]
[A single belt again? How disgusting! Come join a group if you have the ability! 】
[That’s right, you’re smiling. Why do you want to fight in a team fight if you can kill him? 】
Mouse's face turned dark.
Do you want to go that far?
You don’t treat me as a human being, do you? !
The rabbit bites people when it is anxious!
He was gearing up and wanted to clear his name in the game.
In the second round, BP Steak aimed at the lower jungle, first blocking Gu Xing's Mantis to avoid putting too much burden on Casa, and then banned skateboard shoes, fearing that Jack would choose to form a double lista with the Minotaur.
Redmi was equally stable, banning Sima Laothief's signature Kog'Maw and Sapphire's Rakan, one of the few late-stage shooters in the current version.
It is clear that the goal is to prevent forced openings and create space for the sideline swordswoman to split push.
Then, on the fourth hand, Jack was given EZ.
To be fair, Yu Wenbo's current proficiency in Xiao Huang Mao is relatively average, but he really dares to choose.
RW got small cannons + gems, which means they need to speed up + drive hard to prevent Song Jinghao from doing evil on the wing!
Gu Xing finally made up for the prince.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue square RW: top lane captain, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane cannon + gems.
Red square VG: top laner Sword Girl, jungle prince, mid laner yellow chicken, bottom lane EZ + bull head.
The coaches of the two teams shook hands in the center of the stage, and Summoner's Rift descended in front of everyone! (End of chapter)
