What is a hexagon jungler?

"Long time no see, Reporter Hua."

Gu Xing strode into the room, stretched out his hand towards the reporter, with a warm smile on his face.

Every time he saw the other party's name, he would think of a very famous journalist colleague in history.

When the other party saw Gu Xing, he felt like a spring breeze, and quickly stood up and shook hands with him, "The last time we met was half a year ago, right?"

After the end of the S6 World Championship, CCTV reporters once interviewed Gu Xing and wrote an article that caused heated discussions on the Internet.

Gu Xing nodded slightly and said in agreement, "It's not too long... Now that I think about it, it's a good word for you, reporter."

Reporter Hua laughed heartily when he heard the words.

At the end of the last interview, he said a polite word - looking forward to seeing you next time.

At that time, Gu Xing joked that he would not have the opportunity to be interviewed until he won the next world champion.

The reporter is usually used to strong winds and waves, and has interviewed various people. His emotional intelligence is surprisingly high, and he immediately replied: "How can you win a championship with this ability?"

It was just a flattery, but in just half a year, Gu Xing won the championship in world-class competitions again, and even won the grand slam!

It was precisely because of this that the superiors arranged for another CCTV interview after seeing Gu Xing's rapidly growing popularity.

The reporter still feels quite dreamy in recollection.

After a while of gags, the atmosphere in the room became cheerful.

The camera was turned on, and the reporter cleared his throat and corrected his attitude.

"Then let's officially start the interview..."

Seeing that Gu Xing agreed, he officially opened the topic.

The age group of e-sports audience is relatively low, and CCTV is not as serious as the official news broadcast. The reporter did not cut into the topic abruptly, but unfolded slowly, and the overall tone was lighter.

"As a Grand Slam winner under the age of 20, your achievements in the e-sports field have surpassed countless professional players of the same age or even older, so that you can be called young and promising even if you jump out of the e-sports circle..."

Reporter Hua said in a slightly teasing tone, "It's only been a year since I stepped into the professional arena. May I ask if player Gu Xing has adapted to his transition from a student to a top player?"

"To be honest, not yet," Gu Xing spread his hands, choosing to tell the truth, "Sometimes I feel dazed when I wake up, and occasionally think that I have to carry my schoolbag to go to class... This year's career always feels like a dream. "

When he enters the game, he will truly feel what he has gained in this year.

Reporter Hua echoed Gu Xing's point of view, "I would have similar thoughts when I first started working..."

In turn, another question was thrown.

"Although Gu Xing's debut time is short, he has won a lot of trophies. I believe many people are curious about the feeling when he holds the trophy. Can you share it with everyone?"

Gu Xing didn't even need to think about it deliberately, those memories of winning the championship came to mind.

"We won this project by flattening the enemy's base. The moment the opponent's main crystal was removed in the decisive game, the whole person was stunned, and his mind went blank," he said eloquently, "I can hear the teammate's voice in the voice." The meaningless roar, and the exaggerated sound waves of thousands of live audiences outside the headphones will make my eardrums vibrate."

"After a short period of trance, the ecstasy after winning the championship will be born. When the blood is racing, I feel that the heart is about to jump out of the chest cavity, and when I step on the ground, I feel the softness under my feet."

Every time Gu Xing thinks about it, he feels very intoxicated.

"It can be seen that it is indeed a very charming experience," Reporter Hua smiled, "If you were given another chance to start over, would you still choose to be a professional player?"

This is a routine question during interviews.

This question has been tried and tested with many people who have been successful.

Most people will choose to take this old road. Of course, entrepreneurs like Jack Ma can also say the answer of "regret starting Ali".

Gu Xing was stunned for a moment.

"Let's be clear first," he said carefully, "Does rebirth mean rebirth, or reliving life without any memories?"

Reporter Hua was a little dizzy by Gu Xing's rhetorical question.

"Well... let's be reborn."

"Who will play games after rebirth?" Gu Xing smiled helplessly, "Isn't it good for me to study hard or do business?"

Esports is about making money.

But if you are reborn with the memories of your previous life, doing something casually will be easier than this industry!

Training for more than ten hours a day, like desperately afraid that a rising star will catch up and threaten his dominance, why bother?

"It seems to be the same," Reporter Hua realized something was wrong, feeling as if he had been surrounded by Gu Xing, and quickly started the next topic, "With the popularization of e-sports, many young people see professional players playing on the stage. Showing self-worth and wanting to be on this path, what do you think, would you advise them to be like themselves?"

Gu Xing shook his head.

"My opinion is still to focus on academics. This is the safest choice. The e-sports industry depends on the sky and eats youthful food. There are great variables."

"What most viewers see is the glamor on the surface. For example, my teammates and I belong to relatively successful professional players in the circle. In fact, more people are eliminated in unknown corners."

He counted with his fingers, "There are dozens of teams in the National Light City Heroes Contest, and there are more than a dozen teams in LSPL. These players alone account for more than 90% of the professional circle. As far as I know, the treatment Neither are very high."

Even if the LSPL starts, the salary is basically around 1W.

Regardless of the package of food and housing, it seems to be a very good salary in the Shanghai stock market.

But if you can't make it to the LPL, if you can get this salary for two years, you will be considered a success!

What are you going to do after you retire?

"There is one thing to say, the e-sports circle is currently not perfect for the future life of professional players," Gu Xing is very rational, "because this industry is very imperfect."

The golden period of most competitive games is only three to five years, and the main operating groups are still major game companies, so it is difficult to ask them to plan for the future of the players.

"Different from traditional sports, e-sports players are more determined, because the game you are good at may not be popular and have commercial value when you are at your strongest." Gu Xing said.

"To take the simplest example, StarCraft and other RTS games were popular 10-15 years ago, but you were not proficient, and you couldn't reach the height of other players even if you practiced hard, but if you played MOBA five years ago When games are popular, you might be able to make a name for yourself..."

Very few players can master multiple different types of games at the same time, raising their level to the top one-ten-thousandth level.

Gu Xing has only heard that Gao Dewei can play like this, and the optimistic patriarch is ready to bring his talent to the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds project.

Other players really can't play well, even for a player like Jack who likes to play CSGO mid-range sniper, his FPS level is better than ordinary players, but it is far from the level of CSGO professional players!

This is one of the differences between esports and traditional sports.

If they didn't encounter that game at the most suitable time, many players just couldn't become professional players who deliberately supported themselves, and could only treat it as a hobby.

When the proficient games occupy the market, or because of studies or age, it is impossible to engage in professional e-sports.

Like traditional sports, talented players who play soccer or basketball don't need to worry about this, the sport's status is pretty solid.

Therefore, e-sports geniuses like Gu Xing are the joint products of the right time, place and people. At the peak time, they will enter the game project they specialize in.

It is conceivable that a top professional player is almost equivalent to a meal from God!

"So I wouldn't recommend children to deliberately take this path," Gu Xing finished his argument and reiterated his conclusion, "there will be many more choices for studying in the future."

Unless you really can't take the road of studying, and you see that you have to go to the factory to make screws, then it's okay to take a gamble.

Anyway, the result will not be worse.

Reporter Hua indicated that he understood clearly, and turned to the next question, "Can you tell us about the work and rest schedule of professional players? The e-sports circle seems mysterious to many viewers. Everyone really wants to know the difference between professional players and normal office workers. .”

CCTV came to interview, more or less with the meaning of helping publicity, most of the audience were netizens who didn't know about e-sports before.

Gu Xing memorizes, "Usually get up at noon, and play two regular rounds of training at 2:00 p.m. At two or three o'clock, it is normal for some hard-working players to practice until early in the morning, and the training time should be kept at more than 13 hours."

"If you want to take a vacation, it depends on whether the schedule allows it. For example, there will be no rest time throughout the entire international competition. After all, everyone's goal is to win the championship, and there is no chance for a vacation," he explained briefly, "There is free time during the regular season, such as tomorrow VG There’s one day off, basically one day off a week.”

Reporter Hua showed a look of sudden realization, "It's still quite hard work, do you usually feel boring?"

Gu Xing was very straightforward, "Of course, after all, staring at the computer for training every day, it is inevitable to be boring, but since you have chosen to become a professional player, these are the responsibilities that you must bear... Besides, we make money, and it is exhausting to be tired. "

Whenever he thought of the string of zeros behind the contract amount, the feeling of fatigue would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Reporter Hua smiled, "Aside from making money, what is the reason for supporting you to continue to fight in the professional arena and always maintain a top level?"

"The desire to win," Gu Xing replied sincerely, "No matter what kind of competitive sports, if you want to reach the pinnacle, you must have a strong desire to win. Players who just live by it and just want to dawdle will not be able to maintain their excellence for a long time. state."

"In the first year of my professional career, I have been collecting all kinds of honors. It is the desire to win that drives me to train hard day after day. I don't want to lose any game because of laziness. Let yourself regret it for the rest of your life."

With Gu Xing's current level, even meditation training will not affect his dominance in the jungle position in a short period of time.

The absolute strength will decline, but relatively speaking, he will still be the number one jungler.

But Gu Xing didn't do that.

He was afraid that the victory of the game would be ruined due to his negligence and laziness.

For decades to come, he will feel bitter and guilty about it.

"Fortunately, I achieved the grand slam achievement in a very short period of time," Gu Xing said with a smile, "When I go home and see the trophy display case, I will feel a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of my heart."

Reporter Hua continued to ask, "As we all know, you have achieved the Grand Slam goal that countless professional players have never achieved. Will you still have the motivation to continue fighting?"

He has a collection habit when playing games by himself, so he had to harvest the achievements and never want to log in to the client again.

"There must be," Gu Xing replied as a matter of course, "It's not just for making money, there is another achievement waiting for me to challenge."

"The 2017 Global Finals was held in China. This is the first time, and it may be the last chance to win the championship locally in my career. I will definitely cherish it," Gu Xing said solemnly, "What's more, this year's The World Championship is also about consecutive championships, so far no professional player can do this, and I really want to defend the title successfully."

The interview has come to an end, and reporter Hua is very satisfied with the whole process.

He has come into contact with some professional e-sports players, and feels that Gu Xing's style of conversation is relatively deadly, and he is far ahead of his peers.

As a result, the content of the interview does not need to be excessively edited, and it can be put on the Internet normally.

"I hope to interview you again at the end of this year," Reporter Hua did not forget to say a witty remark when he got up, "I also hope that you will continue to work hard and don't let everyone's trust down."

"It's done, let's see you then!" Gu Xing smiled and shook hands with the reporter and cameraman to bid farewell.

After finishing the CCTV interview, Gu Xing returned to the team lounge and asked the team leader for leave.

"You want to go back with WE?" Jin Wenhyuk widened his eyes, "What international joke?"

"...My sister signed a contract with WE," Gu Xing explained helplessly, "I happened to pick her up in the past, and we went out to have a meal by the way. Anyway, tomorrow is a holiday."

"No, what do you mean by going to the other people's club?" Jin Wenhe resolutely objected, "There is no door!"

Gu Xing is the big baby of the club, if he was kidnapped to WE while waiting for the transfer period, how would he explain to the boss?

Lu Wenjun lazily added, "Oh, Lao Jin, just let him go, WE, what are you afraid of, they can't afford Xiao Gu!"

There was a roar of laughter in the lounge.

The poor ghost image of WE is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

During the intercontinental competition, they often saw the combination of manager + team leader plundering the brother team's fleece, begging for all the hotel meal coupons that others didn't want for their own use.

Due to fighting side by side, the support items are all customized by the four companies together, and WE even has to prostitute for nothing!

It sounds outrageous, but when I think it happened to WE, I feel reasonable.

In addition, each team has a reward mechanism for the MVP of the small round, and the amount is different. The standard set by WE is 1,000 yuan.

Fifty percent less than VG.

In the eyes of the top professional players, this amount of money is a dental festival. It is not enough to treat guests to a meal at Haidilao, and it is set up purely to win the prize.

But when WE was winning steadily, the team began to "intrigue" in an attempt to snatch the MVP.

It's really that WE's lineup is too cheap. The upper middle and the wild are all from their own youth training. After the bottom lane combination, one is a Korean aid that the LCK does not want, and the other is an unnamed support exchanged from IG.

The players are all under child labor contracts and don't make much money.

A thousand yuan is a lot of money for them!

If you think about it, you will know that WE's investment in the League of Legends training division is undoubtedly an iron cock, and it is easy to refuse to pluck its hair.

It's hard to get them to pay a thousand yuan, but you still expect to pay 10 million to buy Gu Xing?

Unless let WE open the money printing machine!

Gu Xing packed his backpack with a suppressed smile, and walked through the corridor to find the WE training department.

Xiye was sucking Wangzai's milk, and when he saw him, he informed his teammates.

"Here comes the rider!" Su Hanwei glanced at Gu Xing, "We still have to give a ride if we win, you really have it!"

"How do you talk?" Gu Xing scowled, "Your skin is itchy, right? I didn't take good care of you today. I'll catch the middle road and catch you to death!"

Thinking of the consequences of being trained in the military, Xiye suddenly became obedient and dared not say a word.

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when we would be prostituted for nothing," Kandi poked the manager Xiaoshou, and teased, "How do you feel?"

The little beast was full of black lines, "It's just a free ride, and it won't cost you more gas. What kind of prostitution is it? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Besides, dude Dubo, such a trivial matter as rubbing a car is just a matter of little effort!"

When everyone boarded the bus, the members of the WE training department had to put their arms around Gu Xingqiu for a group photo.

It forced his social fear to explode, and he chatted non-stop all the way, and his mouth never stopped.

From the LPL points situation to the recent training match situation, and then to the understanding of each version, Gu Xing was fed a handful of Qiaqia melon seeds by 957, and he was very interested in talking while eating.

"I think Rambo is very strong after the revision. Why hasn't anyone chosen recently?" Kandi sat beside him to learn from his experience.

Another big news in version 12 is the change of Lambo.

The cooldown of Q [Arson Feast] has been greatly increased, and the output to minions has been cut by 25%, but the basic damage has been enhanced, and the values ​​​​of W and E skills have also been modified to become more suitable for combat.

Overall, Rambo's laning strength has been strengthened, and it is no problem to bully tanks on the top road.

"You play Rambo in LPL, do you look down on the jungler?" Gu Xing threw the melon seed shells into the trash can, "Anyway, if I see the opponent's single-choice Rambo, if I don't catch Gundam Bobby five times, I will follow him." His last name!"

"Besides, there are not many Rambo players in LPL. It's nothing more than Smeb. Mouse may be half of them. VG has no tactical reserves. EDG's style is here. It is impossible for a team that mainly raises middle and lower double Cs to let Mouse play. Rambo, they don’t use both of them, so the frequency of use in the entire division will naturally not be high, you can see that the appearance rate on the LCK side is quite impressive..."

Kandi found the flaw in his words, "VG doesn't have a Rambo system? Who are you lying to?"

"Good boy, put smoke bombs on us, right?" Xiang Renjie was very dissatisfied.

Smeb is Gundam Bobby's unique skill brother, there is no doubt about his proficiency in temperature control, and he is also one of the best in the world!

Zhu Xiaolong, the former top laner of VG, is also a Rambo professional player. He has shined in the S6 World Championship. Back then, Gu Xing was able to raise Brother Long. There is no reason why he would not make tactical arrangements around Smeb!

Gu Xing didn't panic at all when his lies were exposed, his face didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, he took a sip of iced Coke and changed the subject.

"By the way, Kandi, why is your face pale?" He asked with concern, "You don't have a cold recently, do you? Don't infect me..."

"Get lost!" Candy pushed him angrily.

But until the end, Xiang Renjie didn't explain the reason for his recent weakness.

The good news is that Gu Xing's attempt to deceive people just now has been left behind and no one cares.

On the way to the WE base, the bus was full of joy and laughter.

Gu Xing used his terrifying social skills to successfully relieve the opponent who lost the game from his depression.

The League of Legends branch base of Team WE is located in the outskirts of Fengxian, across the Huangpu River from Haowang Mountain where VG is located.

As soon as the car stopped, Gu Xing picked up his backpack and stepped on the ground, and was shocked by the WE foundation.

"What is this?" He couldn't believe his eyes.

Like most clubs, WE base is a villa.

It's just that the decoration style is different.

If the VG base highlights a warm home, WE can only be described as heaven-defying!

The outer wall is painted in girly pink, and there are complex patterns on it, decorated like a princess castle!

"Welcome to Magic Fairy Castle!" Xiaoshou proudly showed off to Gu Xing, "How about it, isn't our WE base unique?"

The eloquent Gu Xing rarely fell silent.

This scene brought him too much impact.

The WE members beside him didn't even notice, their faces were all flushed red.

Although some of them like to use pink keyboards and headphones, it doesn't mean they can accept the decoration style of Fairy Castle!

"There is also a vegetable field in the courtyard..." Xiaoshou introduced to Gu Xing.

"Vegetable field?" Gu Xing was extremely puzzled.

"That's right," Xiaoshou was very happy, "When the contestants are tired from training, they can come to water the vegetable fields, and their ability to decompress is pretty good!"

Xiye was in charge of complaining, "I suspect it's to save money on food, and the breeder usually pulls cucumbers inside."

"Nonsense!" Xiaoshou glared, "We don't need that order money for WE, okay?"

"Heh," Kandi snorted coldly, "If it wasn't for WE's shy face at the time, and organized a group to come to the M3 base to have a meal, I would have believed it... Even rainy days can't stop you, and you can come here to have a meal in ten minutes a second. If you get mountain mud, you will lose a few catties from starvation!"

The dismantled little beast couldn't hold back anymore.

"WE and M3 are a family, so is that called looting?"

Since Riot S5 stipulates that the same club cannot have two top league teams, the original WEA can only be renamed M3-in fact, it is turning WE upside down.

Most of the players are former WE youth training members, such as Kandi, Shanniruo and so on.

The bases of the two teams are posted together for easy walking and communication.

In order to save money, WE has the audacity to go to waste money from his younger brother. It is indeed a shameful thing to think about it carefully.

Seeing that the little beast looked embarrassed, Gu Xing suggested, "I won't go in, and I'll just go when my sister comes out later."

"Success," Xiaoshou agreed, and waited outside with Gu Xing, chatting casually, "By the way, why did you think of building an e-sports data website?"

"At that time there was a data team..." Gu Xing broke down the ins and outs of the establishment of E+, and saw Gu Pan in a formal suit striding out of the WE base with a file bag.

"Here it is!" He waved hello again and again.

"Hehe," Gu Pan's eyes lit up, "The sun is coming out from the west, Gu Yuyu, you can run over to pick up your dear sister?"

"I have nothing to do." Gu Xing helped to take the file bag, "Just in time for you and Guan Shan to go out for a meal."

VG's follow-up schedule is relatively tight, and he may not be able to spare too much time to take care of the second daughter, so he simply took advantage of the great opportunity to have a meal together.

"I ordered a local restaurant, and I heard it tastes good."

"Okay, okay..." Gu Pan nodded immediately when he heard that there was something delicious.

But when he turned to look at the little beast, he put on a formulaic smile again, "Thanks for taking care of me, the terms and conditions have been drawn up, everyone will have a happy cooperation in the future."

WE Xiaoshou reached out to shake Gu Pan's hand, and did not forget to say a few polite words, so that Gu Pan could find himself in any troubles in the future. In the three-acre area of ​​the e-sports circle, his words carry a lot of weight.

There was a competition today, Xiaoshou didn't personally receive it, but just being Gu Xing's younger sister was enough to make him enthusiastic.

The brothers and sisters of the Gu family took a ride-hailing service online, and the destination was set at the Tencent Building.

"Speaking of which, the design of the WE base is really outrageous," Gu Pan couldn't help complaining when he got in the car, "When I first saw the Fairy Castle, I almost suspected that I went to the wrong place."

"You can't even accept it?" Gu Xing looked at her in surprise, "I thought all of you girls like pink."

Gu Pan snorted twice, "This is called a stereotype, when did you see me wearing pink clothes?"

She took out the contract from the file bag, and her bright eyes narrowed after seeing the amount.

"What a duck," Gu Pan was very happy, "This sum of money has come into my account, and I will go buy better clothes when I get the bonus."

"Didn't you just buy it when you went back to your hometown?" Gu Xing looked up and down at his younger sister.

Putting on lipstick in a formal suit, and taking off the dress of the sister next door, this kind of longing gave him a sense of distance.

However, it was exactly what Gu Pan wanted, blurring the concept of age so as not to be thought of as a college student.

"It's not enough," Gu Pan was obviously dissatisfied, "I can't go around the world in a formal suit, can I? I'll change the bag later, this is a bit too simple."

"I'll go buy it today," Gu Xing saw that she had a need, and immediately satisfied it. "I'll pay for your clothes and bags..."

Seeing that his younger sister was about to speak, Gu Xing used his expertise as a professional player to predict what the other party wanted to say in advance.

"I don't give you the flowers for nothing, I just return the money when you get the bonus."

Gu Pan was choked, he hesitated for two seconds and agreed, "It's okay...thank you."
