What is a hexagon jungler?

In the VG training room in the afternoon, the voices were noisy and chaotic.

Gu Xing quickly pulled the keyboard and mouse data cable out of the case interface, rolled it up and stuffed it into the backpack.

"Wen Hyuk, can you give me a banana?" Gu Sung Bin yelled loudly after packing up his peripherals.

The team leader rushed in with two handfuls of bananas in his arms, as if he was playing King Gigi, and tore off one and threw it to Imp.

"Does Hei Qiao want anything?" Manager Lu Wenjun shook Domori in his hand.

On the day of the first round against SKT, Gu Xing once shared Hei Qiao before leaving the hotel.

No one can say what the specific effect will be.

Anyway, the final result of the game was that VG struggled to defeat a strong enemy.

Lu Wenjun bought a bunch of dark chocolates of the same brand from a supermarket near the hotel as a way of winning, and used them to feed the players before the match.

Duan Deliang thought it was a good psychological hint, and reached out to take a piece.

Before I could put it in my mouth, I heard my manager's broken thoughts, "Sell Duan, eat more, let's have some effect today, smash SKT..."

When Gu Xing passed by, Ninja couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, he packed his schoolbag and left the chaotic training room.

As soon as he went out, he met two professional players, one tall and one short.

"Yo, long time no see!" The tall man greeted him proactively.

"Good afternoon, Smeb," Gu Xing said hello to the top order of ROX, and was very curious, "Don't you live upstairs, why did you run down?"

There are a total of 16 participating teams in the group stage, starting + substitute and counting other staff, a total of about 200 people.

For this reason, Riot has reserved a few floors of the hotel. The floor where VG is located is basically European and American teams except for them and Red Pegasus AHQ.

The Tigers live on a higher floor and don't usually come here.

"Met with Luca," Smeb pointed to the European with sharp features and angular features. "The two of us exchanged team uniforms."

He showed the G2 jersey in his hand again, with the word Perkz printed on the back collar.

The slightly shorter Perkz smiled brightly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I have wanted to chat with Virtue for a long time, but I have never had the chance..."

Although he lives on the same floor as the VG club.

But because they are in the same group, they usually don't make appointments for training matches, so the relationship between the players is relatively average.

Gu Xing shook hands with Perkz and could not help but slander.

Are you too optimistic?

Today is about qualifying for Group A. As the starting mid laner, Perkz is still thinking about exchanging uniforms before the game?

Gu Xing felt that G2, who had lost a game in the first round, made such a bad appearance, which was basically tantamount to announcing an advance study of their opponents in the European Division next spring.

Perkz seems to have accepted the cruel reality, his expression is not sad at all, and his smile is still contagious.

He was still flirting, "After today's group stage is over, Virtue and we should change our team uniforms too?"

Gu Xing thought for a while.

The ranking of Group A will be settled tonight.

If they can qualify by then, there are still a few days before the knockout round.

In case of being eliminated, you have to go back home directly.

Regardless of the outcome, he can spare trivial time.

"OKOK..." Gu Xing agreed.

Perkz was elated, "You guys have to work hard next year, I still want to play against you at MSI."

Gu Xing was puzzled.

It seems that G2 can firmly win the European Spring Championship next year to enter MSI.

so crazy?

Now that Gu Xing goes back, he dare not say that he will definitely get the Silver Dragon Cup again.

After all, from 2015 to now, the four LPL leagues have produced a total of four different championship teams: EDG, LGD, RNG and VG. The speed of the change of strong teams in the division is breathtaking!

Perkz seemed to see his doubts, patted his chest and confidently assured, "One thing to say, it's really not good in the European division, I can beat the opponent player casually!"

Gu Xing thought about it, it seemed that this was the truth.

There have been rumors on the Internet that Europe is rich in Dharma kings.

From xPeke, the former S1 champion, Froggen, the world's number one ice bird, to Febiven, who shined in the World Championship last year, the European kings of all generations are all well-established world-class players.

As a result, this year's European Division fell into a dilemma.

The two magic kings in the ancient mid laner have long since aged, and Febiven has also suffered a serious decline this year.

Looking at the whole of Europe, Perkz is almost the only one in Scorpion Lababa. There is no competitor, and it has a leading edge that can be called a fault!

As long as his teammates don't stretch his hips too much, he is indeed similar to winning championship trophies in the European division.

"Niu Niu Niu, very arrogant..." Gu Xing complained in his heart.

While waiting for the elevator, Smeb also sent his blessings in English with a strong accent, "Xiao Gu, come on, fight for the first place in the group, don't give SKT a chance!"

This title is probably learned from Peanut Xiao, and everyone calls Xiao Gu Xiao Gu affectionately.

Gu Xing was quite surprised by the content of Smeb's words, the other party's sincere feelings did not seem to be fake.

He responded with a slightly teasing tone, "I thought you would support the teams in the same division. If SKT qualified second, you might have a civil war in the quarterfinals."

Both ROX and Samsung had a wonderful start with three wins and zero losses in the first round. According to the strong performance of the Korean division in the group stage in the past-of course, except for SSO, the only top 16 team in S3, their two teams are likely to win the group first.

As long as SKT enters the knockout round second in Group A, there will be a 2/3 probability of encountering the quarterfinals and sending away one of the LCK teams!

Under normal circumstances, no one wants to meet the double-time world champion SKT so early.

The BO5 competition system of the knockout round and the BO1 group stage are not the same concept at all. The background of a large number of champion members of SKT is here, and it is really difficult to deal with it.

Smeb puffed out his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, and still had his usual smile on his face.

"Our ROX can't wait to meet SKT as soon as possible," he said, full of ambition, "and then beat the opponent with our own hands!"

Thinking of this, Smeb felt his body trembling involuntarily due to excitement.

He can't wait.

In the summer split, there was a chance to compete with SKT on the final stage.

Who would have imagined that SKT would be defeated by KT's two-chasing and three-chasing, and the ROX members who heard the news at that time almost broke their defenses!

Now that Smeb is cheering on Gu Xing, he naturally wants to collide with SKT as soon as possible.

In his opinion, ROX, which is in full swing, can definitely complete revenge!

Gu Xing glanced sideways at Smeb.

The other party's smile was warm and kind.

"With your good words," Gu Xing lightly punched Smeb's shoulder, "I also wish you the best of luck."

Perkz took out his mobile phone and sent an invitation, "How about taking a photo with the three of us, as a souvenir, maybe we can meet again next time."

Seeing that his teammates hadn't left the house yet, Gu Xing and Smeb simply squatted down slightly to match the height of the optimistic patriarch in Europe, and gestured for a group photo towards the camera.

When he went downstairs to the lobby, he saw that Perkz had put the group photo on Twitter.

Upholding the spirit of optimism, Ah P's accompanying text is short but interesting.

"Uemakano who ranked bottom in the group stage"

Some netizens in the comment area below asked Perkz's opinion on the second round of the group stage.

Ah P replied quickly, [I dare not say about VG and SKT, but we can definitely win against C9]

Netizens are very satisfied with Perkz's statement, he is probably a Portuguese, and at the end he added "Factos (fact)" and a thumbs-up emoticon to agree with the comment.

Gu Xing quit the software.

There are very few unread messages in QQ, and all of them are messy push advertisements from Tencent.

There was also silence in the friend column.

It is now past five in the morning in China, and everyone is still awake.

He was about to put away his phone when he suddenly received two vibrations.

Opened it and saw that it was Pink Pai Daxing who sent the message.

PatrickStar1184: 【Come on for today's game! 】

I also added an exclamation point to emphasize the tone.

Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, 【Get up so early? 】

Shen Guanshan seemed to know that her boyfriend was going to enter the venue soon, so she replied extremely quickly, 【I went to bed early last night, so I wanted to get up early to encourage you】

Then came another new message.

[I have a stupid mouth and no literary talent, and I can't write any gorgeous sentences. I just hope that until the last moment of the game, you can remain calm and focused, and always have confidence in yourself]

After reading it carefully, Gu Xing replied with a Pai Daxing like emoji.

...

After a few days of rest, the municipal auditorium was once again full of seats.

The four-day second round of group matches is about to start. Group A, which was recognized as the death group before the game, will determine the final ranking today, and the number of on-site spectators is naturally full.

As the countdown numbers displayed on the large screen in the venue kept beating, the atmosphere in the municipal auditorium gradually became restless and hot!

The moment the countdown reached zero, the lights on the dome went out instantly, but the cheers continued, lingering in everyone's ears!

The fist logo on the big screen gradually dissipated.

The highlights of the first round of Group A matches in the promotional video screen are constantly flashing back.

Ned Leopard, whose ID is VGVirtue above her head, has a vigorous figure and she is extremely flexible, moving around in the canyon, viciously reaping the lives of the enemies.

In the next scene, Olaf was even more brutal and direct, with a double ax in his hand, his whole body flushed, and he went straight to the opponent's formation!

The berserkers dominated the battle like chopping melons and vegetables, which made many excited audiences in the venue cheer!

The screen shifted, and the body of the blind monk appeared in the center of the screen.

The narration also inserts the live commentary of the English stream at that time.

"Lee Qing used the raptor thrown by Syndra as a springboard... what did I see?!" North America's commentary was extremely fast and passionate, "Virtue successfully cut into the formation before SKT could react, and the Raptors put Tail and Flash to kick Bang back!"

"Unbelievable way to start a group!"

When Gu Xing's handsome face was projected on the big screen, the scale of the noise in the municipal auditorium expanded again!

At the end of the first round, the audience has fully seen his strength.

With bold and imaginative operations combined with fierce aggressive style of play, Gu Xing captured a group of fans in North America in just three games!

The original voice of the player being interviewed is played in the video, "This is my first trip to the global finals, I want to go far enough, just like the meaning conveyed by the team name Vici Gaming, to conquer all opponents, the first round group The game is undoubtedly a good start, but it is by no means the end."

Ding Jun named the club back then, which was taken from Caesar's Veni, Vidi, Vici (I come, I see, I conquer), and Gu Xing just borrowed it.

What follows is a collection of some of Faker's operations.

Although he is not as sharp-edged as in the S3 season at this time, the audience is full of violent single kills, but his comprehensive strength has reached the peak, and he is proficient in the use of heroes and judging the situation on the field, and his strength is extraordinary.

The appearance of Lee Sang Hyuk in the video also caused a commotion at the scene.

"The loss to VG in the first round is certainly related to the opponent's clever cooperation, but there are also things we didn't do well. As long as we are good enough, the enemy will have no chance of coming back." He pursed his lips, "In the second round we It will show the level that the LCK division should have."

"SKT will not lose a game and regain the first place in the group."

Hearing such a swearing and confident speech, a large number of SKT fans in the stadium tapped their light sticks vigorously to show their support for their beloved players!

The follow-up is the wonderful operations and interviews of Perkz and Sneaky, two star players of their respective teams.

At the end of the video, the four contestants stood under the Golden Gate Bridge, and the silver light of the Summoner Trophy behind them was extremely eye-catching.

The screen slowly dimmed until it dissipated.

The spotlights on the dome of the Municipal Auditorium were turned on, and the stage was filled with lights in an instant, and the ten players on the contestant seats on both sides had already taken their seats.

"Good morning to the audience in front of the screen!" Ze Yuan's voice was full of enthusiasm, "Welcome to the live broadcast of the fifth match day of the 2016 Global Finals, which is also the final day of the second round of Group A qualifying match!"

The partner around me remembers also raising his voice, "Our number one seed VG in the LPL division will face the final test of the group stage today."

"Whether you can qualify for the knockout round depends on the result of the game!"

Zeyuan is quite optimistic, "VG, who won all three games in the first round, can guarantee a qualifying spot as long as they beat their opponent C9 in the upcoming game, and the remaining two rounds are to compete for rankings..."

The director gave the scores of the four teams after the first round.

In group B, ROX is thriving, RNG and the second seed CLG in North America are in a stalemate, the royal style with unclear positioning is vacillating, and the qualifying situation is still unclear.

In Group C, Samsung and H2K ranked the top two, CIS foreign card ANX ranked third, and the number one seed in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Flash Wolves, has not won their first victory so far, and was ridiculed by netizens as a disgrace to the five major regions.

Group D is dominated by TSM. They also have a very high probability of qualifying for three wins. EDG, AHQ and Brazilian wild card INTZ all have 1 win and 2 losses, and the rankings are very chaotic.

Especially EDG, became the object of ridicule by domestic audiences during the short offseason adjustment period.

Now seeing the points situation of Group D, there are also a lot of criticisms in the live broadcast room of the game.

[It’s really laughing at me, losing to the wild card and losing to North America, and finally relying on the three teams of AHQ to win the first victory, EDG, you are really outrageous! 】

[The third EDG team is AHQ? 】

[The two teams had a good relationship a few years ago and they often practiced together. It is rumored that EDG boss Ed Zhu had shares in AHQ before, so it was called the third team]

[The EDG team felt as if they had been taken away when they arrived at the World Championships. S4 Nami Beef Noodles and S5 pilot passed the light. This year, Deft’s condition improved, and the factory manager started to get sick. The male gun was kicked by a Brazilian blind monk. Stepping on the flying arrow, the ultimate move hits the ice R]

[My evaluation is: a group of soft-legged shrimps in the EDG team are similar to Kid. I am not surprised that there will be a re-enacted scene in the second round of looking into the grass]

[EDG was assigned to the group with the weakest comprehensive ability before the game and took the last place. It's really ridiculous. 】

After the director has played a wave of rhythm, he has hidden merits and fame.

Zeyuan said, "The second round of the group stage is to play at least three games a day. To be honest, it will test the adjustment ability of the players and the team. I am afraid that a sudden collapse will hit the mentality. VG is entering the World Championship for the first time, so we still need to pay more attention to this aspect. .”

"But I don't think I need to worry too much," remember to express my point of view, "VG is not a particularly young team, double C is also the world champion in the past two years, and its psychological quality is relatively better than that of young people. ..."

"As for Xiao Gu, he is considered a proper player for major competitions. He performed very well in the LPL finals. I guess he thinks the venue is too small and he can't get excited."

I really remember guessing right.

The maximum number of audiences that can be accommodated in the Municipal Auditorium is only a few thousand, and the white noise can cover up the applause and cheers in the venue.

Having seen nearly 20,000 people cheering like a tsunami in the Guangzhou International Sports Performing Arts Center, it is difficult for Gu Xing to reach the level of 'excitement' now.

"Xiao Gu, pay attention to the opponent's jungler," Hongmi paced behind him, "We haven't prepared it before, so be careful when you enter the game."

According to the rules of the global finals, the four clubs will announce the starting lineup for the first game the night before, and they can make adjustments on the spot later.

The three teams, including VG, maintained their original lineups.

Only C9 made the change.

They replaced Meteos, who had a mediocre performance in the first round, in today's first game against VG, the jungler was Hai as a substitute!

Redmi received the news last night and was caught off guard.

He asked Xie Tunan's team to help sort out Hai's information.

Turns out it didn't work at all.

The last time Headmaster Hai played as a C9 jungler was back in 2015!

The version is completely different, the most is to study and judge the opponent's good role.

But a year has passed, except for Spider Queen and Rek'Sai who are barely usable, the other strong junglers have already changed!

Redmi couldn't sleep last night.

He is most afraid of variables.

Headmaster Hai hasn't played an official game for almost a year, can he be promoted to be a firefighter now?

Redmi's first reaction was that C9 had some hidden big move, and wanted to release it to drag VG into the water.

After coming to the venue, C9 head coach Reapered's confident expression and the weird smile that often hangs on his lips made Hongmi more confident in his thoughts.

Now he is still a little worried, repeatedly telling himself to play the field.

"I understand," Gu Xing motioned him to rest assured, "I'll take a look at the beginning."

At this time, the referee gave instructions to start the BP link.

Only then did Hongmi end the topic, flipping through the black notebook in her hand.

Although Xie Tunan was at a loss for the head of Research Hai, the other four players gave enough data charts to help him analyze.

Thinking of this, Hongmi regained her confidence.

Accompanied by a sonorous and forceful sound, the BP panel was presented in front of everyone!

Ze Yuan's expression lifted, "C9 is on the blue side in this round, and VG is on the red side!"

Since the group stage is a double round-robin schedule.

Therefore, for two matches with the same team, it is fixed to be one blue team and one red team.

When VG faced C9 in the first round, it was the blue side, and this game was just the opposite.

"Let's see how the understanding of the version will change after the truce between the two teams..." I remember eagerly looking forward to it, "C9 will ban Xiao Gu's signature blind monk first!"

Without thinking, Hongmi blocked Sneaky's policewoman.

He didn't ban Leopard Girl first like other red teams did.

The strongest heroes in the current version are nothing more than the jungler Nidalee and the mid laner Syndra.

The problem is that if the red side bans Leopard Girl directly, how will Syndra deal with it?

If you can't help it, the blue side is almost sure to grab it.

Then move a forbidden position to Syndra, and the first two bans of the red side will be wasted!

You know, in the S6 season, a team has a total of 3 bans.

Investing in two strong heroes in the version, the BP of the red side will be very limited!

Redmi intends to imitate the BP thinking when playing against SKT.

Syndra and Leopard, either release them all, or ban one of them.

C9 head coach Reapered thought for a while, and took the initiative to block Nidalee.

Last time SKT's kkoma tried to double-open to grab Leopard Girl, and gave VG Syndra and Jhin's super double C, but the results proved to be very poor.

This trick worked once.

Reapered naturally took precautions in advance and would not make the same mistake again.

What's more, the team's jungler Leopard, the head of Ye Hai, is very average.

While Hai was active on the court, Nidalee wasn't exactly hot.

When Leopard Girl became a monster who was either a pick or a pick, Head Hai retreated to the second line to work on the coaching staff, and there were not many practice sessions.

In other words, Hai's hero pool has holes in this World Championship.

But the result of the long talk between the two close junglers was that the script of S5 was repeated.

Meteos looks at the water dispenser and changes to the head of Shanghai!

After listening to the team's plans, Reapered decided to play Hai in the first game against VG after thinking for a long time.

He thinks long term.

Meteos himself is also a player who mainly focuses on offense, but Gu Xing's style is more aggressive than him, and his operation is also quite ahead!

After the last game, Meteos lost all self-confidence, which seriously affected his competitive state. If it weren't for G2's performance that was even more outrageous, C9 might not have won their first victory until now!

Today they played three games in a row. If Meteos was ravaged by Gu Xing again at the beginning, C9 would probably be able to buy a plane ticket in advance and prepare to go back to Los Angeles.

If C9 wants to qualify, one of VG and SKT must be pulled down.

Reapered thinks that the VG style is somewhat restrained by the Meteos version of C9.

On the contrary, SKT's jungle position is more defensive, which will give Meteos a little chance to break through.

So the pre-match strategy he formulated was to let head Hai go up to fight VG to steal a chicken, and if he couldn't win, he would have nothing to eat.

Keeping Meteos in shape to bet on SKT behind is the team's only lifeline!

"VG banned Syndra, and didn't want to give Jensen the strongest mid laner in the version..."

Ze Yuan suddenly had a loud voice, "C9's last ban is Olaf, good guy, 3ban jungler!"

There were rustling discussions in the municipal auditorium.

The barrage in the live broadcast room of LPL events was even more so.

【in or out? Is it so targeted?]

[Virtue is about to beat himself into a god of death in a group match, I didn't expect it]

[Third-ban jungler is really top-notch, give me enough respect]

[I don't understand why the head of the sea was changed, and he chose to be a jungler and continue to crawl forward to steal crystals?]

[Your head of the sea is playing wild, can he fight? 】

Hai on the seat kneaded his fingers. After a year, he faced the unfamiliar but familiar player seat again, and he couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.

Although Reapered wants him to come out to help Meteos draw fire, there is not much hope that he will be able to win.

However, Head Hai stayed on the coaching staff this year, and it was not without improvement.

Of course, the hero pool is not as deep as other junglers.

But the overall situation is much stronger!

Seeing that Rambo of Impact was given to VG in the third Ban, the head of Hai did not forget to communicate with the coach about the choice of heroes.

Reapered followed his idea and deduced it in his mind, and felt that there were no loopholes, so he readily agreed.

"Yanyong, is it okay for you to use Jess?" He looked at his top laner.

Impact saw Rambo in the opponent's Ban position, and was still immersed in anger.

Before playing VG Rambo, if VG hadn't pushed so fast, he would definitely have gotten a super ghost stat.

As a result, you took the initiative to ban me Rambo in this game?

Hearing the question from fellow countryman Reapered, Impact categorically agreed, "Yes, Hai, remember to help me more often!"

Master Hai smiled lightly, "Don't worry, we have a big stage in this round."

He has worked on the coaching staff for a year, and he can roughly guess the meaning of Rambo being banned from the opposite red rice.

VG should want the upper half to resist the pressure and let Gu Xing attack the lower half!

In this way, if Rambo is not banned, Impact will be selected to develop safely in a single line, and it may be very troublesome to deal with it in the mid-term.

That being the case, he decided to focus on the road and help Jess open a breakthrough!

"VG selected Jhin and Zyra...the bot lane is full of strength!" I remember feeling very emotional.

Zyra is currently the only support position, and her laning strength is ridiculously high.

Carrying the decree of the Thunder Lord, Q [Deadly Bloom] and two sprays of plants can trigger blood volume reduction!

Compared to Karma and Nami, Zyra's offensive ability is top-notch!

"Master Hai locks on Rek'Sai," Zeyuan explained in a smooth manner. "Although it has been weakened several times, after the 3-ban jungler, it can be regarded as a relatively strong character among the remaining heroes."

The third choice is to get ice for Sneaky.

Not only is the laning ability good, but it can also explore the wild area in the early stage, providing sufficient vision information for the head of the sea!

"VG chose the Spider Queen and the top single Bobby...Xiao Gu's spider is very interesting," I remember thoughtfully, "I don't have many appearances in my impression, but the performance is quite impressive."

Zeyuan answered with a smile, "Since the summer split until now, Xiao Gu hasn't played any hero badly. His manipulation is too exaggerated, and his speed of training heroes is also fast, and his proficiency is not inferior to the old jungler."

Master Hai is quite happy.

The appearance of Bobby on the top order can be regarded as confirming his judgment.

VG really wants to stock the upper half in this game!

As long as you avoid its edge, you will have a chance to drive the rhythm!

"Victor + Karma, C9's lineup is officially formed!"

Hou Ye finally chose Clockwork Demon among several mid lane mages.

This thing belongs to panacea, it is more basic skills for players, and it belongs to the must-have hero pool of the old pharaoh.

It's not wrong to choose the clockwork if you don't make a decision.

The lineup of both sides is determined.

Blue side C9: top laner Jess, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Victor, bottom laner Hanbing + Karma.

Red Fang VG: top laner Bobby, jungler Spider, mid laner Clockwork, bottom laner Jhin + Zyra.

"Remember the tactics of this game," Hongmi rubbed Gu Xing's shoulders before leaving, "We must calm down in the mid-term and try to win this game."

As long as they can win this small game, VG will be able to announce the group qualifying in advance!

Gu Xing nodded, listened to the coach's instructions, adjusted his sitting posture and prepared to enter the Summoner's Canyon!

－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－

The second round of the group stage is definitely not as detailed as the first round, and the speed of advancement will be much faster, and one game can be completed tomorrow.

My head is groggy, a little sleepy, and I don’t force too many codes, otherwise the quality is too low and I feel sorry.

With 5 days left, Riwan will be able to make up a small goal of 27W words.
