What is a hexagon jungler?

"Are you going to fly for half a day?"

Xiao Duan nervously asked Gu Xing beside him, and unconsciously rubbed the seat belt in front of him with his fingers.

Gu Xing thought about it for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.

This is half a day in the true sense of the word.

After 12 hours, they will reach San Francisco on the other side of the ocean.

"It's the first time I've gone abroad..." Duan Deliang felt a little uneasy in his excitement.

"Coincidentally, I am too." Gu Xing was also looking forward to it, "I heard that I'm going to be jet-lagged, I wonder how it feels?"

"It's quite uncomfortable," Tian Ye, as an experienced person, taught them his experience. "If the World Championship hadn't been held in the United States, I definitely don't want to experience it again."

Meiko went to the United States during the mid-season last year. Apart from the joy of winning the championship, what impressed him most was the painful feeling of jet lag.

The schedule for that competition was extremely tight, and they took a 12-hour flight to fly there, and they played four days in a row after two days of delay, directly finishing all the group stage to the final!

The jet lag in the field did not reverse, and my brain almost turned into a paste after the hit, and I still have lingering fears.

"Hello, brothers!" Xiaohu's familiar male voice sounded, and he appeared behind Gu Xing wearing a peaked cap, "Is the training match okay?"

Other RNG players filed in. The fat general in the back row stood up with difficulty and greeted his old teammates Looper and Mata.

"It's okay," Gu Xing replied ambiguously, "It's about the same as the previous summer games."

Since VG was still in the Shanghai stock market before, the teams who made the appointment were all from the LPL and LCK. Occasionally, Lightning Wolves from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan would join in the fun.

Only SKT in the same group has not played a training match, and the other teams often make appointments.

Gu Xing feels that the changes in the World Championship version this time will not have a great impact on VG.

At least with the strong teams in East Asia as the reference group, it feels like this.

VG played a total of four training matches with the Tigers, and overall they were evenly divided.

50-50.

You know, this is the new champion of the LCK summer split, and being able to do so well is enough to prove the strength of VG!

Gu Xing always felt that this trip to the United States would not be as miserable as last year's World Championship.

He believes that when the dark night comes to an end, there will always be some light of hope.

"Then you are pretty good," Xiaohu sighed and laughed at himself, "Our situation is not so optimistic."

RNG is still arguing endlessly on the issue of whether to keep Lu Uzi or continue the linkage between the jungle and the auxiliary, and no clear conclusion has been reached from the discussion.

Even the training games are distracted by this, and the effect is very mediocre.

Gu Xing was helpless, and could only offer a few words of comfort.

Before the flight took off, he nestled in his seat and checked his phone.

The family and girlfriend knew that VG was leaving for the United States today, and told them a lot of precautions.

Gu Xing agreed to report his safety when he arrived in San Francisco, and went to the Ionian Seven Wolves to drink for a while, and then looked at social media.

VG posted several Weibo posts today.

There is a picture of the competition and training department leaving the base, and a group photo of all the members at the airport surrounding the VG team flag.

In addition, there is a clip video of the players watching the draw ceremony.

Gu Xing clicked on it to fast-forward the playback, mainly to observe himself and other teammates from another perspective.

It has to be said that Zhu Xiaolong, who is usually known for his maturity and stability, wailed in despair when he saw the death group, which was indeed very effective in the program.

Below Weibo, some netizens posted similar videos of other teams, including the performance of SKT players witnessing the results of the lottery.

Gu Xing was very interested and wanted to see the reaction of the double champion.

At the beginning of the video, when the team from Pool 1 was being drawn, the expressions of the SKT members were calm.

Only Wolf in the screen is asking his teammates, and Chinese subtitles are displayed below, "Which group do you want to go to?"

Bang replied without hesitation, "The Flash Wolves are in Group C..."

He said his reasons, "This year's MSI group stage was double-killed by Flash Wolves, and I was very unwilling. If we meet again this time, there is a reason why we have to win."

Flash Wolf is now dubbed the "Anti-Korean Hero" by many viewers.

They often deflated the South Korean team in the BO1 group stage, and their winning rate was extremely high.

Bang is obviously very confident in the comprehensive strength of himself and the team, and he must take revenge!

Wolf Li Zaiwan muttered in a low voice, "I want to draw VG, there is Jihoon in it... It's a pity that LGD didn't come to the World Championship, otherwise I can meet Qinghuan."

2015 was a turning point in his career.

In the mid-season finals, Wolf was killed 25 times in five rounds of fierce battles with EDG.

At that time, he was criticized by netizens as a breakthrough for SKT, and he worked hard to make a breakthrough in the follow-up, and only then did he have a wonderful performance in the World Championship.

Li Zaiwan misses the time when everyone worked hard for the same goal, and naturally misses Hou Ye, Marin and other old S5 teammates.

When Smile drew SKT into Group A, Wolf's chubby body jumped up and down with excitement.

"Brother Zhixun, I'm coming!"

He doesn't seem to care about the strength gap between the teams in the first pool at all.

After the headwinds in the group stage of this year's mid-season competition, Li Zaiwan believes that SKT is currently the strongest team in the world.

Even in the LCK summer semi-finals, they were chased by KT for two and three, but it didn't dampen Wolf's confidence.

KT, you can't even make it to the global finals, you are the younger brother!

The World Championship is the LCK split cake.

The non-Korean division was not included in their list of contenders for the championship at all.

Blank is quite simple, with sparkling eyes, which are more conspicuous under the dark skin, "Brother Zhixun and Brother Sungbin, wow, they are both old seniors..."

VG double C all debuted in S2.

In South Korea, a country where seniority is extremely serious, the seniority of Lord Hou and Imp is higher than that of Lee Sang Hyuk!

Although Gu Sung Bin spat a lot of people in Korea, he was very unpopular.

But the rules should still be followed.

"There's also Virtue player," Xiao Hei smiled with exceptionally white teeth, "I want to get close to him, I heard he has a very easy-going personality."

Blank had previously learned about Gu Xing from his old friend Mala Xiangguo.

There were not many training matches where the two faced each other head-on, but Xiao Hei had seen Gu Xing's strength and admired him very much.

Kkoma's expression was calm, and he was also not worried about his group draw.

In his opinion, the ones who are afraid should be the teams drawn in the same group as SKT.

"I heard that Sang Hyuk and Virtue have a good relationship?" Kkoma looked at Lee Sang Hyuk.

Seeing Faker in the video, Gu Xing thought for a moment before evaluating him, "...It's okay, we haven't met each other after all, it's just that we got along better in qualifying."

Wolf was still thinking about disappointment, "But if you are in the same group as VG, wouldn't you be able to meet EDG?"

He is also going to have a touch with EDG.

One is to avenge the loss of the midseason game that year.

The two teams once met in the group stage of the S5 World Championship, and the flourishing SKT double-killed EDG, but Wolf was not satisfied!

We beat us once in the finals, and we just got back two BO1s. If we just write it off, Li Zaiwan always feels annoyed.

At least one more double kill in the group stage will do!

Second, there is Scout in EDG.

The elementary school boy is the favorite of the SKT group, and several older brothers are very close to him.

It would be great if we could meet and teach Scout a lesson on the field!

"Before Ruichan left, he used rice cake delivery to block up the toilet in the dormitory. You really belonged to me!" Wolf gritted his teeth when he thought of this, "Do you think it's safe to go to LPL?"

"When we meet, I will specify that I don't have your good juice!"

SKT is very popular in China. As the double champions, they are definitely the most familiar team from outside the competition area for LPL audiences.

There are thousands of comments on this video about the lottery ceremony.

Gu Xing browsed briefly, wanting to see what good things the high praise netizens can do.

[ @EDG e-sports club, come in and see the good things you do alone at home]

[Faker has a good relationship with Virtue? 】

[I just watched the replay of the live broadcast of Faker and Xiao Gu's friend on the Internet. Is it possible that these two have secrets that are unknown? 】

[It's normal, I wonder if there are any professional players who have a bad relationship with Xiao Gu...]

Gu Xing heard the captain's announcement, and honestly turned off the phone and put it away.

Sitting by the window, he took another look at Hongqiao Airport outside the window.

I don't know how long I can stay in the United States this time.

Although it is not realistic, Gu Xing hopes that VG's flight ticket back to China can be set on a certain day in November.

The longer the stay, the farther the team will go in the global finals!

Asked the flight attendant for a thin blanket, Gu Xing put it on his body, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

During the 12-hour flight, like everyone else, he spent a long time in a light sleep state, and when he was awake, he went to the bathroom and had meals.

Gu Xing, who was trying a cross-country journey for the first time, was fine. He slept a couple of nights and was about to reach the other side of the ocean.

For the fat general in the back row, he suffered inhuman pain.

He has a bad back injury.

Usually in the club, there are doctor consultations and medical care, which can barely maintain.

On airplanes these days, the chairs are uncomfortable and it is impossible to get up and move around frequently to relax.

You can persist in the first half of the flight, but Pawn really can't stand it later, using practical actions to deduce what is tossing and turning in the physical sense.

Gu Xing turned his head and saw that Pawn was about to put on the pain mask, so he passed the thin blanket over and motioned for him to padded his waist.

"Excessive venting." The fat general cast a grateful look.

Although it doesn't do much, it's better than nothing.

There is one thing to say, Pawn's Chinese is not up to standard compared to Goo Sung Bin.

Gu Xing turned the words around in his head twice before trying to understand the meaning of the other party. He smiled gently and brightly, waved his hand, put on the earphones and listened to Jay Chou.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the plane finally arrived in San Francisco on the west coast.

When he landed, Gu Xing could still see through the window the Golden Gate Bridge that had been bombed countless times in the movie.

After a little turbulence, the plane officially landed.

Passengers in the cabin got permission, took off their seat belts and got up to leave.

Gu Xing's first reaction when he got up was to move his body quickly.

"Remember to follow me closely after getting off the plane, and don't wander around," Jin Wenhe told the team members one by one, "This place is unfamiliar, and it will be very troublesome to get lost."

Gu Xing finally stomped his feet before leaving the cabin with the team leader.

The sun was shining brightly in San Francisco, and the thin clouds couldn't stop the brilliant light, which reflected directly on the face.

In mid-September, the local temperature is only around 20 degrees, which is quite comfortable.

The VG training department got the luggage and got together in a group.

"Let me introduce to you first, this is Vincent from Riot China," Kim Moon-hyuk introduced the staff around him to everyone, "During the time we are in the United States, he will be in charge of connecting with Riot for us, and he will also be in charge of negotiating the interview arrangements. "

Vincent looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, full of vigor and vitality in every move.

"Hi everyone, I'm in a rush before boarding the plane, so I don't have time to say hello to everyone," he reached out to shake hands with the members of the VG training department. "During this time in the United States, if you have any doubts and needs, just contact me or Team Leader Jin."

Vincent glanced at the schedule, "We don't have any activities these two days. From the 20th, there will be video interviews and promotional filming arranged by Riot. The rest of the time everyone will train normally."

He led the crowd onto the bus with the fist logo on it.

"The hotel is located next to the municipal auditorium where the group stage will be held, about a few hundred meters away, so that the teams in each major competition area will minimize unnecessary troubles on the road..." Wen Sen explained the situation to them.

The bus is spacious enough to accommodate a team.

Gu Xing had just finished keeping his family safe when he heard Imp start muttering provocative words to Mata who had just gotten into the car, and the two were fighting endlessly.

The vehicle drove slowly on a street that Gu Xing was completely unfamiliar with, and finally arrived at the destination Wyndham Trademark Collection Hotel in a short time.

"The training base built by Riot is inside the hotel. I'll take you up to take a look after completing the formalities later."

Hearing this, Gu Xing finally felt relieved.

He is also worried that he will go to the Internet cafe to train like he did in the Guangzhou final.

From the current point of view, there will be no such organizers as the Banana Project in the future.

Leading the VG players upstairs, Vincent was still explaining, "Fist has reserved three floors of the hotel for 16 teams to use, and the occupancy will be full in the next two days. If there are any players you want to meet, you can set up a relationship." , group photos and exchanging team uniforms are allowed..."

The elevator stopped on the 7th floor, Wen Sen turned right into the corridor, took out his room card and swiped it.

"Inside is the training room. Everyone, try the computer and the Internet first. If you have any questions, just ask, and we will solve them."

The training room temporarily remodeled from the hotel room is definitely not as spacious as the good hope mountain base.

There are 10 computers placed on an L-shaped long table, together with chairs and a tactical whiteboard, it occupies most of the room.

But fortunately, everything is available.

Looking at Hongmi's expression, he knew that the layout of the training room was very suitable for him.

Gu Xing took over the peripherals from the team leader and made sure there was nothing wrong with the data cable.

The 24-inch monitor model is also the same as that used in normal events.

"Riot has distributed the super accounts of the US server to the players, you first... Forget it, everyone just catch up on jet lag, I will contact the above to give you the hidden points of the account."

Wen Sen has not been working for a long time, and it is the first time to participate in the preparation of the World Championships, so he is a little young and immature.

The contestants picked out the computer and connected the peripherals. After more than ten hours of hard work, they said goodbye in a hurry and rushed to their room.

This time Ding Ran was still attending classes at Fudan University, so Gu Xing could not enjoy the luxurious treatment of a single room.

Jack shares a room with him.

The two of them didn't care about chatting, and fell asleep drowsily after washing up.

When Gu Xing woke up again, the sky in San Francisco was completely dark.

On the single bed next to him, Yu Wenbo shrank his whole body into the quilt, leaving only a very eye-catching big head.

Gu Xing rubbed his sleepy eyes, feeling that he was almost adjusted, changed his shoes and tiptoed to the training room.

Wen Sen, who joined the group chat of the VG competition training department, sent them a message a few hours ago. The hidden score of the super account has been modified, and the heroes and skins are all ready and can be used normally.

Gu Xing sat down and wanted to adjust the damping, and reached out to touch it, only to realize that his Herman Miller was still in the base of Good Hope Mountain.

This trip to the United States can only make do with gaming chairs.

Looking at the US server account whose ID was garbled, he went to the mall to buy a name change card.

A nickname immediately popped up in his mind, and Gu Xing tapped the keyboard to type it in. Seeing that no one was using it, he smiled contentedly.

...

The World Championship is getting closer.

Fans of League of Legends events around the world are in a state of boredom with no games to watch.

Netizens can only search for news from social media every day to learn about the preparations of each team.

Or go to the live broadcast platform to watch the anchor responsible for the OB of the US server, and try to catch professional players from it.

After a while, batches of high-scoring accounts have sprung up everywhere in the US servers!

[Little Peanut's ID has been picked up, and the 70% win rate of the American server master, is it really a random killing? 】

[Deft and Imp's status is really hot, one of them has 439 points, the other has 463 points, and they will become kings in the early morning of tomorrow...]

[Where is Xiao Gu's account? How many days has it been since I haven’t pulled it out]

[PatrickStar1210 belongs to him, right? I clicked in from Imp's 'yiqunlanzi' account, and found that the ranking time of this account was right with the rest of VG! 】

[Pai Daxing's scoring speed is so ruthless, the king has 663 points, Xiao Gu seems to be the highest ranked in the super account, the king is 77]

【What does ID mean? Pai Daxing 1210...December 10 is Xiao Gu's birthday? 】

Netizens do not understand the meaning of the ID of the suspected Gu Xing account.

At first I thought it was his birthday, but after looking through the player information released by Fist, I found that Gu Xing was born on November 1st, which is totally wrong!

His current popularity cannot match that of Zhugou in the domestic forums, and he is also a star player in the second tier. Netizens have nothing to do, and there are several hot posts discussing the numerical suffix of Gu Xing's ID.

There were different opinions. Some people speculated that it was the birthday of their parents or other close friends. Some speculated that it was because of the outrageous damage done by a teammate in a certain round, which was missed by Gu Xing.

More people guessed that someone had already registered the Pai Daxing ID in the US service, and Gu Xing just typed a string of numbers on the keyboard as a suffix.

"What do these numbers mean?"

On the other side of the earth far away from San Francisco, in the evening of the capital, when the heat of summer has gone, Gu Pan walked around the campus wearing an off-white sweater and holding Shen Guanshan's arm, asking for no reason.

Shen Guanshan was holding a mobile phone in his other hand and was making a video call with his boyfriend.

Since Gu Xing arrived in the United States, due to the time difference, the two changed their original contact time.

Now the video chat is only opened once a day, which is fixed at three o'clock in the morning in San Francisco time, which is six o'clock in the evening in China.

At this time, Gu Xing had just finished training for the day, and Shen Guanshan was also on his way to the cafeteria, so the two of them could find time to chat.

"Gu Pan, you haven't figured it out yet?" Gu Xing laughed out loud when he heard that his sister was still very curious about his ID number, "To be honest, you didn't even plan to show it to you. "

Gu Pan wished he could rip his brother out of the phone screen and beat him up.

She knew that the string of numbers 1210 was not the birthday of any member of the family, and it had nothing to do with Shen Guanshan, who was born in early 1998.

Gu Pan couldn't figure it out, but seeing Gu Xing's inscrutable appearance aroused her thirst for knowledge and insisted on finding out the truth.

Turning his head, he saw Shen Guanshan looking at the phone screen with affectionate eyes, as if he had understood the meaning of the string of numbers, Gu Pan was puzzled, so he had to change the topic.

"Did you see the video that G2 posted two days ago?" She was filled with righteous indignation, "Isn't the whole thing going too far?"

With the World Championship approaching, not only the netizens panicked, but also the operators of the major clubs had nothing to do.

If you post pictures of players every day in a regular manner, it really doesn't reflect their abilities.

The G2 club began to reorganize.

Its performance has always been good.

In a video, the man in the G2 uniform tore up the uniforms of C9, SKT, and VG with scissors, and yelled harsh words at the screen.

"Is it EU \u003e NA, or EU \u003e NA? You advertise Free, and I feel that Europe is also quite free. I have never thought about the difference between the two... until I met C9, I suddenly realized that you are free (Free) )!"

After G2 taunted C9, they turned their finger on SKT again, "The Korean league that dominates the world? It's just that Europe has fallen asleep. This year, the sleeping EU will wake up and let SKT understand the gold content of the league double!"

In the end, I didn't let VG go.

"We will tear the LPL team to pieces like what OG and FNC did last year, and the methods will be even more brutal, because FNC is just an insignificant clown in our eyes!"

In three sentences, all the teams in the four major regions except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were offended. I have to say that G2's ability to speak out is really strong.

The video was released, and G2's official push was almost blown up!

"I think it's okay," Gu Xing chuckled, "Anyway, we will play G2 in the first game, and then we will try our best to win the game and fight the opponent."

His attitude towards pre-match trash talk and chores is clear.

Play to your heart's content, don't lose and can't afford to play.

"Tomorrow's game, you remember to play well..." Shen Guanshan encouraged her boyfriend to hang up the video after a few words.

Turning his head to look, Gu Pan's eyes showed curiosity, obviously he still wanted to understand the meaning of the number suffix.

"My birthday is 0109, and his birthday is 1101. The sum is 1210." Shen Guanshan couldn't help her, "And it's still a set of affinity numbers."

"If the sum of all divisors between two positive integers is equal, it is generally believed that the numbers that meet the requirements are relatively close... 1210 and 1184 are a pair of affinity numbers."

A few days ago, when Shen Guanshan saw this ID, he understood the meaning of boyfriend, and followed Gu Xing to add 1184 to the national service ID suffix.

Gu Pan opened his mouth slightly.

She racked her brains and never thought it would be the answer.

"How old are you two?" Gu Pan blurted out, "Aren't you childish?"

Shen Guanshan didn't bother to talk to her, "You can't help if you don't understand..."

Affinity number is a concept that she and Gu Xing mentioned when they were young in math tutoring class. Gu Pan has never been to it, and it is normal to think it is naive.

The two who are in love feel just right.

Gu Xing hung up the video and finished brushing his teeth and was about to lie down on the bed. The lights were turned off, but he remembered a trick for brushing wild.

He lifted the quilt and ran to the training room.

Stepping into the door of the room, I saw Brother Long being beaten by Hanlabong.

Although Zhu Xiaolong has worked very hard recently, the hero Jess really cannot be understood in a few days.

What's more, the opposite is Jess's unique skill brother, and his proficiency has reached the point of perfection!

"How is it?" Gu Xing asked while standing behind Brother Long.

"It's okay, I'm quite satisfied with myself," Zhu Xiaolong exhaled, "I don't want to practice at his level, as long as I have enough."

With extremely high latency, he went to Hanbok to do special training on the road with Hanlabong. The results he has achieved so far are very good, at least the improvement is visible to the naked eye.

"That's it. I'll try to see if I can clear the wild faster like this..." Gu Xing turned on the computer again, opened the customization to try to optimize and improve.

Repeated twice to confirm that there is no problem with the method, and then returned to the room to rest.

By the time he fell asleep, it was dawn in San Francisco.

On September 29th, the 2016 Global Finals will officially open today!
