What is a hexagon jungler?

The audience didn't quite understand Gu Xing's interview answers.

Although H2K is not bad, but in everyone's perception, there is still a certain gap with teams of SKT's level.

Even the European audience who had sufficient confidence in H2K before the game thought that their team could win a small game from SKT as a success!

Gu Xing's statement confused everyone.

He didn't explain much, handed the microphone back to Sjokz, smiled and waved to leave the stage.

On the way back to the backstage lounge, Gu Xing finally relaxed completely.

Although I am young and strong, playing a full round of high-intensity wave 5 will eventually consume a lot of energy. After the ecstasy of winning the game, now my temples are throbbing and painful, and the feeling of fatigue and emptiness is inevitable. .

But as soon as he opened the door and walked in, Gu Xing's emotions were re-mobilized by the scene of carnival celebration in his training department.

"Old Gu!" JakeyLove cheered and jumped up to give him a hug, "The blind monk's last kick was absolutely amazing!"

The world girl is even more adoring, but there are stars in her eyes.

Gu Xing took the ice water handed by his teammate and drank it all in one gulp, moistened his hoarse voice, cheered up and patted his chest to show off proudly, "My blind monk can definitely do it, I don't know how much better than Ming Kai Times!"

The members of the training department around him laughed out loud.

Clearlove's blind monk performance last week was really against the sky.

After EDG returned to China, Ming Kai also temporarily got rid of the nightmare memories of the World Championship, and even laughed at himself with his acquaintances.

While chatting with him, Gu Xing even achieved the achievement of collecting all the GIFs of Clearlove's hip-pull operations in the World Championships, and he has to admire the veteran's mentality.

He joked casually, but World Girl suddenly spoke up.

"You can't say that..." World6 grinned and showed a pair of small canine teeth, and added slowly, "How many times stronger than Ming Kai, how many times the negative number is also a negative number."

World Girl also patted Gu Xing on the shoulder, "Brother Xing, please don't be too modest."

Gu Xing was at a loss for words due to this white-cut black-speaking technique, and didn't know how to continue.

Team leader Jin Wenhyuk was still standing on a high place and yelling loudly, "Let's take a break tomorrow afternoon and gather for training in the evening...Let's go to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow!"

The team members cheered excitedly.

Like Gu Xing, everyone felt exhausted after playing ROX and wanted to take a good rest.

Anyway, there is still a whole week before the final on October 29, so there is plenty of time.

Besides, even if they are on vacation, there will be no more teams coming to compete with VG for training matches.

The players can only maintain their touch through qualifying, the effect is not particularly good, and it is reasonable to take half a day off.

"Get up late tomorrow afternoon, and then go for a walk around Times Square." Jack was full of energy, after all, he didn't play, and the pure atmosphere of the audience of the competition, "Old Gu, what do you say?"

Gu Xing shook his head, "I'm going to see the Statue of Liberty... I heard from Jankos that the scenery there is not good enough."

The semi-final promotional video once included all major landmarks in New York.

However, each team can only go to one of the locations. VG went to the Empire State Building, which is near the hotel where they stayed, so they didn't go far.

H2K was chosen to go to Liberty Island, a few kilometers away from Manhattan.

At that time, everyone in VG felt very fortunate that it took a long time to go to the Statue of Liberty to shoot. How can there be the smell of the Empire State Building in front of the hotel? After taking the photo, you can go back to rest and train directly!

Now that the semi-finals are over, Gu Xing wants to go over and take a few photos as a souvenir.

He felt that it would be a bit of a pity if he didn't visit the most famous landmark in the United States during his week in New York.

Jack himself is a lazy dog, so he wants to go to Times Square, which is closer.

But he didn't want to go shopping alone, it was boring.

After thinking about it, Yu Wenbo was still ready to act with Gu Xing.

As a result, the two were chatting, and the rest of the teammates also joined in, and finally made the action of observing the Statue of Liberty into a team building!

Gu Xing was sitting on the sofa, listening to Ju Shengbin yelling in broken Mandarin that he wanted to eat Tomahawk steak.

Meat is cheap in the United States, and the amount of meat in various meals is quite amazing.

As a result, Gu Shengbin has been eating nonsense for a month and a half, gaining weight slowly, and seeing that the initial letter of p is going to be changed from lowercase to uppercase.

"Isn't it just Tomahawk steak? Show off whatever you want today!" Ding Jun watched the team win the semi-finals, and he was responsive to the players.

"You just get used to him..." Hongmi glanced at Ju Shengbin's swollen beer belly, and couldn't help muttering a few words.

Everyone in the competition and training department stayed in the lounge for a long time, and did not receive the group visit notice from Wen Sen.

Gu Xing saw that the team had no plans to move in a short period of time, so he stuffed the peripherals into the bag first, and then took out his mobile phone to browse information.

As usual, various chat tools are filled with 99+ unread messages.

He was going to mass-reply as usual.

When I started to take action, I realized that the specific number of unread messages was too outrageous!

Compared with the quarter-finals, the number of participating teams in the semi-finals was reduced by half, but the attention has increased by more than an order of magnitude!

Gu Xing can deeply understand the amount of unread information.

Many unfamiliar contacts also sent congratulatory text messages, some of which were the youth training management staff of various clubs who joined VG before coming to VG.

In addition, Gu Xing even received a message from Su Xiaoluo, which surprised him.

"What's the situation?!" Gu Xing couldn't understand, "Is there something wrong?"

He once went to IG for trial training, but in the end, not only did he not stay, but he also abducted Jack.

The reason is that the conditions offered by the other party are too poor.

IG doesn't even plan to buy a place in the secondary league, and wants two rookies to lead the team to the city hero competition.

At that time, Gu Xing had just received a high evaluation in the VG competition training department, so he would not be satisfied with the conditions of receiving IG!

In all fairness, he and Su Xiaoluo didn't have any major conflicts, they just couldn't reach an agreement.

From IG's point of view, it is a bit of a fool to spend millions of dollars to buy a place in the secondary league for the sake of two newcomers.

But looking at it from Gu Xing's perspective, it really didn't get attention.

He didn't know what the other party's mentality was now seeing him and VG making great strides all the way.

Gu Xing didn't have the heart to understand.

He just replied politely and went to chat with his girlfriend.

Su Xiaoluo feels uncomfortable all over now.

When he watched the semi-finals today, he had the right to enjoy a high-level match.

After whoever wanted to win the game, the bullet screen suddenly flashed several 'VG: Su Xiaoluo thank you', which shocked him to death!

Su Xiaoluo is currently feeling regretful, very regretful.

In fact, this kind of emotion began to breed since VG won the summer championship.

When he let Gu Xing leave with Jack, he never dreamed that a newcomer would be able to shine in just two months, and even win the Silver Dragon Cup!

How can you say that the future is promising?

Looking at the entire competition area, you can't find such a strong immediate combat power!

Su Xiaoluo was quite sour at that time, and felt that she had misjudged her eyes.

Now as VG broke into the finals of the World Championship, the sour emotions in his heart also disappeared.

The gap is simply too great.

Originally, when everyone's grades were similar, there was a chance to catch up on tiptoe, and jealousy was unavoidable, which is also human nature.

But when the circumstances of the two parties are very different, he can't be sour even if he wants to!

Su Xiaoluo took the initiative to greet this time, not expecting to recruit the other party again.

First of all, VG is not a fool, and will not let people go easily.

And Gu Xing didn't seem like he would go to IG to find uncomfortable players.

Su Xiaoluo just didn't want the two sides to turn against each other.

Just think about it, VG is the first team in the entire LPL to break into the finals of the World Championship in two years, how popular it will be in China!

Especially Gu Xing.

The team's rhythm engine, excellent personal strength plus fierce style of play, and excellent appearance conditions in the e-sports circle...

Su Xiaoluo knew with her feet that after Gu Xing came back, her status and popularity would have an incomparable leap!

Who was the core leader of the last LPL team that won the final spot in the World Championship?

Uzi.

Before his debut, he also had an intersection with IG. He also failed to join the team and turned to the royal family.

Even though Uzi's performance has been mediocre in recent years and he has been wandering in various teams, he can't stand the rising popularity!

The two experience books of pigs and dogs are no joke.

Moreover, Uzi also won consecutive victories in the civil war and lost to the South Korean team in the foreign war, and was cursed by a small number of netizens for crashing the plane.

What's more, Uzi himself has many black spots.

Even so, the number of Uzi fans remains high!

In contrast, Gu Xing went all the way through the battle, cutting all the LCK teams, and his performance in foreign battles cannot be questioned.

With his high EQ performance and outgoing personality, he is clearly a rising superstar in the LPL division!

At that time, because IG did not reimburse the air ticket for the trial training and missed Uzi, it has become a meme, which has a certain negative impact on the training of IG youth training.

If a similar scenario repeats itself, Gu Xing tells about his trial training experience before officially joining VG in an interview...

Will IG's future youth training still be done?

You must know that many high-score players decide to enter the career path only after seeing the bright side of the players on the stage.

Below this, it is easy to be influenced by star players.

The successive encounters between Uzi and Gu Xing may really make IG's youth training work cold!

Su Xiaoluo has also taken over the work of the IG League of Legends branch for three or four years.

He knows how important youth training is to a club.

Buying expensive and famous players is a pure money-losing business in the current money-burning e-sports field.

Youth training with super cost-effectiveness is the most important thing. Not only is it cheap, but it can also be regarded as one's own direct descendants!

Su Xiaoluo naturally wouldn't allow the IG youth training to stretch her hips.

Thinking about it this way, it is necessary to take the initiative to find Gu Xing to ease the relationship.

Gu Xing didn't think too much about it.

He finally received the notification from Vincent, and walked straight along the backstage corridor with his teammates, and came to the room for group visits after the game.

The layout is simple.

There was a row of long tables for the staff of the VG training department. Behind them was a black billboard with the Riot Games and World Championship logos printed on it.

In front were reporters and photographers from more than a dozen e-sports media.

"The first question is for Virtue players. During the post-match interview on the main stage today, you said 'SKT may not be able to enter the finals'. Do you have any information?"

The questioner was a reporter from Korea's Inven Forum. She was obviously not that polite, and she was very concerned about the situation in her competition area.

Gu Xing began to practice Tai Chi with a smile on his face, "Don't get me wrong, there is no other meaning... just like before the game, many audiences thought that we would lose to ROX, but everyone saw it. What I said at the time generally meant 'Is there such a thing? One possibility, SKT will lose to H2K'?"

Nothing came out, and the scars were torn back.

Gu Xing's words disgusted the Korean media reporters enough.

Several domestic e-sports media staff were still holding back their laughter.

"Then is there anything you want to say to today's opponent ROX Tige?" Korean media insisted.

Gu Xing was still thinking about his tactics at first, but when the question involved the Tigers, he still answered seriously, "In my opinion, they are worthy opponents. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to play against them again on the field."

That's what he said, but he had learned from Little Peanut before that ROX will definitely disband at the end of this year.

This semi-final will be the Tigers' swan song on the world stage!

Gu Xing knew the ending, but he couldn't say it on behalf of the ROX team, he could only answer like this.

However, when he entered the post-match group interview room just now, he saw the Tigers next door, and he didn't know what issues ROX would be asked about.

The reporter let go of Gu Xing for the time being, and went to ask Hongmi about the idea of ​​taking out the troll jungler in the first round.

Red rice is also a good player in Tai Chi.

Going around and answering in a circle, just not talking about the key points, and not revealing any effective information to the other party.

By the end of the group visit, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night in New York.

There are very few restaurants open outside, and the tomahawk steak that Gu Shengbin has been thinking about can only be eaten tomorrow.

After returning to the dormitory, Gu Xing took a bath first, washed away his exhaustion, and then lay comfortably on the bed.

Now that everything is done, it's finally time for his favorite post-game forum session.

I just want to see how netizens will brag about themselves.

As he expected, there were endless hot posts in the anti bar!

[How to evaluate Virtue's performance in this semi-final? 】

[God is God! Punch An Zhang and kick Peanut, the first jungler in LPL! 】

【This is my father! 】

【A big filial piety to the family members】

[A month ago, I never dreamed that VG would enter the finals, this group of people is really outrageous! 】

There are many replies below the last comment.

[As I said before, the VG lineup is really not bad. Both Cs have won world championships, and the upper limit is definitely not low; the jungler is the strongest rookie in LPL, and Shangfu is not well-known, but he is not a colander, and his personal strength is very good]

[Pull it down, who wouldn't be an afterthought? What is your evaluation of VG before the summer split? Bobby, an alcoholic, and a 24-year-old veteran who is waiting to die, a pure rookie jungler and Kamisuke, two crooked wastes, I don’t think I have read the forum]

[Anti-bar is like this, the speed of the wind direction change is about the same as that of the face-changing in Sichuan opera]

Gu Xing flipped through the forum posts, and rolled over excitedly.

Yu Wenbo walked out of the bathroom wiping his ears, and saw his jungler, who had just won the MVP of the semifinals, rolling around on the bed, like a caterpillar.

It can be said that they hit it off as roommates during the World Championship stage.

I have a unique understanding of surfing.

Gu Xing likes to read posts that praise him.

Yu Wenbo is a typical person who only cares about water posts and rubbing experience, leaving everything else to his stomach.

The two had different ideas, but Jack quickly forged a new path.

He first followed Gu Xing to browse through the post bar to see how VG was boasted, and to see which posts Lao Gu was more interested in.

Then do the same, imitating all kinds of compiled posts to trick people into replying to experience gains.

"Are you so interesting?" Gu Xing didn't understand very much, "It's not worth the effort."

He had seen Yu Wenbo's post, and there was a smoky atmosphere below, so he really didn't understand what was so interesting about it.

"Do you know a hammer?" Jack gave him a white look. "The pressure of training and competition is so high, this is the way to relieve pressure!"

"The only difference between the two of us is that you like to see how posts praise yourself, and I happen to be the other way around..."

Gu Xing listened to the words and carefully looked at Yu Wenbo who was in the next bed.

"It can be seen that you are very strong in resisting pressure, and you are not inferior to me."

Jack replaced Imp for a period of time in the summer game, and he performed really well on the spot, without any psychological burden, and his performance was remarkable.

Yu Wenbo also wanted to refute it, and use words to prove that he is the number one anti-pressure king of VG.

But when he glanced at his mobile phone screen, he suddenly became interested.

"Old Gu, look quickly!"

Gu Xing was chatting with Shen Guanshan casually, when he heard this, his eyes shifted away.

The font on the screen is very large [Transfer post, ROX group interview after the game]

He was very interested in it, so he quickly clicked on it.

In the video, five members of the Tigers sit behind a long table and look in a good mood with smiles on their faces.

The host who moved the post is very dedicated, and has already added the subtitles in a short time.

"There are rumors that the S6 Global Finals will be the last event for ROX. Is it true?"

The first question asked by the media was rather sharp.

Little Peanut looked around and saw that no one objected, so he raised the microphone and replied, "...we still have the Kespa cup to play this year."

He didn't answer directly.

But anyone with eyes can hear it.

After the Kespa Cup is over, the ROX Tige, which left a strong mark in the 2016 season, will be blown away with the wind.

"How do you comment on today's winner, VG, Peanut?" The reporter raised questions in a hurry, fearing that the opportunity would be snatched by others.

Little Peanut couldn't rest his hands, fiddled with the microphone, glanced at Smeb beside him, and laughed twice.

"I remember that I was interviewed not long after the start of the summer split. At that time, the reporter asked which team in the outer competition area was stronger. I said it was VG, but you and the netizens didn't believe it. Now you know my vision?"

When Peanut said this, he still puffed up his chest, looking very proud.

"Especially Virtue, I have a very good relationship with him, and he is definitely strong enough. He is also a more well-prepared side in this semi-final...It is definitely not wrong to lose to VG."

The reporter asked the next question, "We can all notice that the overall atmosphere of the group interview after the game is relatively active, which is completely different from the emotions displayed when leaving the stage... How did you adjust your mentality?" meb rubbed into the microphone.

After a moment of silence, he finally opened his mouth to answer, "Naturally, there were many regrettable moments in today's game, including the final result, which was not what we wanted..."

"But think about it, everyone, failures and regrets always run through life...this is life."

"This is the last dance of our ROX on the world stage, let it leave a perfect ending in everyone's hearts."

The intercepted post-match interview clips come to an end.

President Gu sighed, lying on the bed with his hands behind his head.

Yu Wenbo glanced at him, "What are you doing, Lao Gu, you don't think it's a crime for you to win the semi-finals, do you?"

"That's not the case," Gu Xing shook his head, "It's just a little...sentimental, a team just broke up like this?"

When ROX loses, it loses without the backing of the gold master behind him.

In the past two years, the Tigers have successively won the runner-up of the S5 World Championship, the champion of the S6LCK Summer Championship, the semi-finals of S6, and the runner-up of the league. The results are also the first echelon in the world!

Except for SKT, there is no team that can stabilize them!

Logically speaking, a team of this level would definitely be able to get a lot of sponsors.

During the peak period of all members, the transition echelon of the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people is quite perfect, and it is no problem for all members to renew their contracts for one year.

But because the benefactor had no money, he ended up scattered and scattered.

Gu Xing was in awe.

He has a strong ability to empathize, the more he thinks about it, the more aggrieved he feels, and he rolls over into the bed.

"Sleep and sleep, I have to go to the scenic spots tomorrow!"

...

"Arrived at the famous landmark of New York, the Statue of Liberty!" Gu Xing shook his phone and made a video call with his relatives on the other side of the ocean, "It's so beautiful, take another look at the distant sea, my family..."

He twirled his phone so everyone could see Statue of Liberty holding a torch and the Declaration of Independence.

Then Gu Xing was attracted by other things.

A head of granny gray.

This hair color is unconventional enough in New York, where most of them are foreigners.

Coupled with that height, the identity can be recognized at a glance.

"Oh, isn't this Peanut?"

Gu Xing wanted to go up to have a chat, waved goodbye to the family members in the video, and hurried to catch up.

Peanut also has Coach Nofe by his side.

However, the two of them were walking into the alley beside a black man with a big arm and a round waist, and they looked very reserved.

Those who didn't know thought they were kidnapped...

Gu Xing suddenly remembered what happened to Jin Wenhyuk in Chicago.

No way?

Gu Xing is not that kind of reckless man.

He turned back to his teammates who were taking pictures of the Statue of Liberty.

"Little Peanut and Nofe seem to be in trouble, should we go and have a look?"

He explained the general situation.

Today VG is indeed here for team building.

There are more than ten people in the training department, as well as Vincent and several local Riot employees.

"It's not called kidnapping, it's extortion... Those who ask for money must have been raped," a blond and blue-eyed fist worker explained simply, "I understand everything, and there's nothing I can do if I don't understand. It's a local characteristic."

Gu Sung Bin immediately regained his spirits.

"The bastard still blackmailed the contestants?"

He just drew his sword to help when he saw injustice.

At that time, because the Koreans in the barbecue restaurant scolded China a few times, Gu Shengbin was able to go up and beat someone up and broke his glasses worth 8,000 yuan, so he knew that this guy was definitely not a peaceful master.

Now it's even more passionate, and I can't wait to go up and squeeze that black man's headgear all over the ground!

Jin Wenhe was also eager to try, "Let's go, let's see what kind of storm that person can cause!"

He still remembers being robbed of $50 in Chicago.

50 yuan ah!

At that time, I and Lu Wenjun were unable to resist.

It's different now!

We have a lot of people!

Even Li Zhixun wanted to rush up to save the villagers.

The ability of Koreans to hold a group abroad is quite strong, and if something happens, a bunch of fellow villagers will help.

Several Riot staff members took the lead, and a total of 20 people chased in the direction where Peanut and Nofe left.

During the period, he was also told not to move his hands if he could move his mouth.

"Imp, give him the whole job!" Gu Xinghe yelled like closing the door to let a dog go.

Gu Shengbin was yelling something, his Mandarin was very substandard, and Gu Xing could only make out strange words like "go, ignore".

As a result, as soon as everyone caught up, the black man turned his head and saw the faces of East Asians behind him, and immediately chose to run away.

The race talent is extraordinary, and the running skills are quite powerful, and ordinary people can't catch up at all.

Gu Xing could only let the enemy escape.

"Nothing lost, right?" He turned to ask Little Peanut.

Peanut was so frightened that his voice trembled slightly, "Before I had time to give the money, I accidentally touched him while walking and spilled some kind of liquid in the man's bag. He insisted that it was my daughter's life." Medicine, let us pay $1,000 to leave..."

"It's a pure lie! Do you believe this too?" Gu Shengbin felt that his head was amused.

Nofe stared, "Normal people would not believe it, but we are afraid that he has a gun in his hand."

Everyone was silent.

Then everyone remembered that the United States is not China and South Korea.

Relying on the advantage of numbers sometimes does not necessarily work.

After all, the seven-step outer gun is fast, and the seven-step inner gun is fast and accurate.

The Riot staff on the side didn't take it seriously, "It's okay, these are all low-level tricks, people who engage in Pingci are basically cowardly, looking for tourists from other places, they can't have guns in their hands, and they can't open... oh, except for Chicago. , there are too many lunatics there."

Gu Xing still recognizes the gold content of one of the prototypes of Gotham City.

Anyway, Gotham still has Batman, but Chicago doesn't.

"You guys came out today to relax?" Gu Xing put his arm around Little Peanut's shoulder.

Peanut was about 1.7 meters tall, about the same as Shen Guanshan. Gu Xing felt weird when he hugged him, so he quickly let go of his hands.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes," Little Peanut nodded hastily, "I'm going back to China tomorrow, and I plan to visit the nearby attractions, and I may not have the opportunity to come back in the future."

"Then go back tomorrow?" Gu Shengbin interrupted, "Let's play for two more days."

"No money, Brother Shengbin," Little Peanut said helplessly, "We want to travel."

After listening to Jin Wenhe's translation, Ding Jun suddenly interrupted and asked, "Do you want to go to Los Angeles?"

Little Peanut was confused, "What do you mean?"

"I'll pay you to go to Los Angeles for a tour," Ding Jun said of his plan, "but ROX has to accompany us to practice games every day, and the rest of the time the Tigers can do whatever they want."

He counted loudly.

The Tigers have a total of nine substitutes and coaches and managers.

It doesn't cost much to pack ROX for a week!

At least not worth mentioning to the rich and powerful Ding Jun.

And he's not doing charity.

VG didn't have a suitable team to play with in the week before the finals.

Just playing ranked can only warm up hands, and the effect is definitely not as good as training games.

Ding Jun is very willing to spend money now.

The team has reached the finals, tying the best record in LPL history.

The remaining wave 5 is the key to whether you can ascend to heaven in one step!

As long as it succeeds, VG will leave its own name in LPL and even the entire history of League of Legends e-sports!

Ding Jun is willing to take a gamble to keep the players in good condition.

As long as they can win the championship, the benefits brought to the club are far more than the expenses of ROX and the others!

Little Peanut didn't expect such a good thing.

Traveling for free without paying?

He immediately turned his head to look at Nofe and asked his coach for advice.

"I have to ask my girlfriend, and other players..." Nofe took out his mobile phone and quickly contacted the members of the Tigers.

Smeb, who was asleep, couldn't hear what happened, and was still laughing at Nofe's whimsy.

After learning the real situation, Smeb immediately cheered up, "Go, go! I'm going to the finals to see how SKT lost!"

Normal people can't bear the pleasure of whoring for nothing.

Team ROX readily agreed.

Just kidding, what is there to do with the one-acre three-point land when you go back to Korea?

Going to Jeju Island to pick oranges?

The beaches of America are higher than those of South Korea!

Besides, they also want to take a trip and have a good exchange of feelings. They are destined to not be able to fight together next year, and there must be a farewell.

After getting ROX's approval, Ding Jun immediately booked a flight ticket, making the scalps of fellow Rioters feel numb.

This is the naked ability to throw money.

"Vincent, is this really legal?"

Hearing his colleagues' doubts, Wen Sen responded naturally, "Of course, if SKT wins H2K today, they can also use their personal relationship to gain some benefits and ask H2K to help them play a few training games. How is this against the rules?"

"Having said that, how is today's semi-final going?"

Thinking of this incident, Gu Xing turned on his phone to look at the battle report, and was immediately dumbfounded.

"I'm going, is it true or not?"

－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－

Going to the finals tomorrow.
