What is a hexagon jungler?

Gu Xing went back to the dormitory to take a shower, took out a change of clothes from the suitcase, and saw Ding Ran lying at the desk preparing for college courses, but still couldn't control his curiosity.

"What did you say to your cousin this afternoon?" He was puzzled.

"Huh?" Ding Ran hadn't reacted yet.

"When I was chatting with Jack just now..." Gu Xing repeated Ding Jun's words, "He said that there is a problem with the team building idea of ​​the League of Legends branch."

Ding Ran pulled his mind out of the math problem, thought about it carefully, and suddenly called out in a drawn-out tone, "Is he serious?!"

Gu Xing waited for his friend to calm down before he learned the cause and effect.

This afternoon, VG held a training match as usual, but the opponent was replaced by the league strong team EDG.

Although EDG failed in the spring split and failed to win the championship trophy, the runner-up result was much better than VG.

And the staffing is quite luxurious.

The opponent is willing to start a training match with VG because they also want to try out newcomer Sout, a substitute mid laner from SKT.

Gu Xing and Jack were both in IG at the time, so VG was the main lineup for the Spring Split.

As a result, he was beaten so hard that he couldn't find the north.

There is no problem in the mid lane duel. The two former SKT mid laners meet, and Easyhoon is as stable as ever.

Brother Long, who was on the road, even had a certain advantage.

But the bottom lane was completely sieved.

EDG's Deft+Meiko combination is second to none in the 2016 LPL league, there is no suspense.

VG's current shooter Endless is stronger than IG's Rain, but it is also limited.

This collision, the gap is very obvious.

Dandy also helped the bot lane twice in the early stage, but doing so can only slow down the speed of the duo's threading.

In less than 15 minutes, Endless was matched up and killed.

In the end, Deft's Ezreal was supernatural, forcing VG to point out GG to surrender.

After three sets, VG exploded in the next game.

Ding Jun got up and came to the base to take a look, he almost died of anger, and saw Gu Xing and JakeyLove leave, so he went to the Dota2 next door.

"I've been watching your training games during this period, and I feel that I have a little bit of understanding," Ding Ran said here very complacently, "So I made a suggestion to him, and I also used the theory you taught me. "

"I taught you?" Gu Xing couldn't figure it out.

"That's right," Ding Ran imitated his tone, "When playing jungle in qualifying matches, first look at the winning percentage of your teammates, and find the fiercest one to be your big brother!"

Gu Xing remembered that he did say it, but he was still puzzled, "But what does this have to do with making suggestions?"

"You have to raise a big brother even in the jungle!" Ding Ran pointed at him and told him, "VG's lineup for the spring game, Brother Long on the road, is it more blue-collar?"

Gu Xing nodded in agreement.

Long Ge belongs to the kind of top laner who will never explode if you don't help him. He is very stable. In the spring game, Bobby's hammer can only be described as reliable.

Although he is very strong and has certain offensive attributes, he is a bit like another top laner GimGoon, but currently the top laner is dominated by the three phantom gods, and trolls and top laner Ike have also been popular for a while.

The style of the single hero in the version is positioned as team battle control + injury, a role similar to a shit stick.

The income of these characters in the jungle is not high, and even the laning period with top laners is very boring and lonely.

Ding Ran continued, "Mid laner Easyhoon, Lord Hou, a famous mid lane defense tower, do you think he needs help from the jungler?"

Really don't need it.

In most games, Easyhoon likes to grow silently and take over the game until the equipment is formed. This is the style of play in SKT in season 5, and they don't eat junglers at all.

In the first training game of VG, Gu Xing did help Easyhoon twice, but that was because his Gank efficiency was too high, and he almost fed the head to the mouth of the mid laner.

"Bottom lane Endless..." Ding Ran felt that the opponent was good, and didn't want to give him a bad evaluation. "The strength is quite average, and it is difficult to carry the game with him."

"The rewards in the top lane are small, and the Lord Hou is not used to helping the middle lane, and the bottom lane is useless," Ding Ran concluded. "Then tell me, who can the jungler help in the game? There is no early game big brother in the team!"

Gu Xing followed his friend's train of thought and figured out his logic, "Don't say it, it does make sense."

If you play against a weak team, this kind of problem will not be exposed. After all, except for the ADC, the other four players in VG are not bad, and they can completely crush them.

Facing a strong team, it is inevitable that you will encounter the problems Ding Ran mentioned.

There is nowhere to help the jungler in the early stage, and no one on the team can carry the team rhythm with him.

"That's why I told my cousin that the bottom lane needs to be replaced by a new core, that is, the jungler to help him, the kind of top player he can give back to the team!" Ding Ran's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect my brother to take it seriously!"

"How about it, does this have to be 1/3 of my credit?" He still asked for credit with a shy face.

"I didn't teach this?" Gu Xing came to his senses, and raised his voice unwilling to show weakness, "Without me, you can understand this truth?"

"Both of us are great, can we?" Ding Ran smiled, and suddenly frowned, "The question is, who is the team looking for?"

The two discussed for a while, and they always felt that there are not many suitable ADCs on the market.

It is impossible for EDG to release a top scorer in the league like Deft.

Even if he used Jess to teleport the lantern in the S5 global finals and made a serious mistake, Deft's strength in the domestic league is beyond doubt, and he is definitely the treasure of EDG.

The topic ends without a problem.

After the two took a shower, they simply lay on the bed and watched the video of the recently started mid-season game.

The venue of this year's competition is Shanghai Stock Exchange, representing the LPL division is the spring champion RNG.

Mala Xiangguo, one of the members of the Ionian Seven Wolves, is RNG's jungler.

But maybe it was because he was too busy training and preparing for the battle, Gu Xing hardly saw him speak in the group.

"Xiaohu is so strong," Ding Ran sighed, "He can kill Faker solo!"

Xiaohu, who was only 18 years old, entered the mid-season for the first time, and showed his fierce nature in the group stage. Faker Lee Sang-hyuk, who was solo killed by him, is a well-deserved legend in the current League of Legends.

Combined with Xiaohu's wonderful performance in the last game of this year's spring finals, he took out the trick enchantress, and even though he was restrained by the fat general Lulu, he still played a super god + counter-single kill.

All of this seems to indicate the rise of a domestically talented mid laner.

SKT, led by Faker, stumbled in the group stage and was double-killed by the Lightning Wolves in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan divisions.

"Brother Xing, do you think SKT won't even be able to make it to the finals this time?" Ding Ran imagined, "Last year's mid-season was crushed by EDG, so it's reasonable to be eliminated by RNG this year, right?"

"I think you should go to the opposite LGD base," Gu Xing said with a smile, "Join the Optimistic family, and optimism will be over!"

He felt that SKT, as the double champion of the global finals, has a profound foundation, but its performance in the group stage was poor, and maybe it can be adjusted in the subsequent knockout stage.

After the LPL experienced a dismal loss in the World Championship last year, the current audience is pessimistic about the strength of the division.

When Ding Ran heard this, he immediately retorted, "You still don't believe me?"

He took out his phone, found a picture and showed it to Gu Xing, "When I came to Shanghai Stock Exchange, SKT even dared to eat Haidilao!"

The SKT player in the picture smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up to the camera.

He has been busy with trial training for the past few days, and Gu Xing hasn't surfed the Internet much. This is the first time he has seen this photo.

Haidilao mainly uses the word '捕', which is similar to the adjective used by domestic audiences when describing contestants changing dishes.

"You just believe in these things?" Gu Xing dismissed it.

Ding Ran felt that he was being stubborn, "Then how about I treat you to a bowl of beef noodles when you become a professional?"

Beef noodles, once sealed the soul of a top ADC at the time during the 2014 World Championship, making him fall from heaven to hell, is also the most famous food curse in the League of Legends world.

Gu Xing shuddered, and forced a smile, "Brother, I'm just joking!"

...

In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Xing and Yu Wenbo went to the Zhujiang Creative Center on Lingshi Road. There are many game industry companies nearby. Activision Blizzard is opposite, and there is also a banana plan to host this year's LPL.

The EDG base is also located here, and they actually have a building!

This opened Gu Xing's eyes.

The two were warmly welcomed, and Abu came to pick them up in person, drawing a cake for them along the way.

"Our second team, EDE, has entered the LPL and plans to change its name to IM. All the members and players will be transferred there," Abramovich said in a high-pitched voice, "We will definitely re-form a team that summer."

"If the two can join together, the club can directly purchase an LSPL spot to ensure that you have games to play!"

The person he really wanted right now was JakeyLove.

But Abu is very smart. He saw that Yu Wenbo and Gu Xing had a good relationship, so he planned to buy them together.

After all, Gu Xing is now one of the top five high-scoring kings in Ionia, so it's no problem to get it for the youth training as long as it's at the qualifying level, and it doesn't cost much anyway.

The two had a trial training all afternoon, and they performed very well, which made Abramovich even more delighted.

"It's quite late, why don't you experience our cafeteria?" Abu also wanted to win over the relationship while eating.

"EDG still has a cafeteria?" Yu Wenbo was looking forward to it, "I went to other clubs for trial training, and they all invited aunts to do it."

Gu Xing also felt very novel.

EDG did not give him a bad impression. The decoration style of the club is magnificent, the management system is strict, and the dormitory and training area are separated without interfering with each other, which is in line with the image of a regular club in his mind.

But when the group came to the cafeteria, he and Yu Wenbo were stunned.

"Why are you still standing there?" Abu said pleasantly, "We have a lot of dishes here, you can choose whatever you want!"

Gu Xing and JakeyLove looked at each other again.

"The canteens in our town are better than this," he muttered under his breath. "I swear."

"Do you need to say that?" Jack glanced at Gu Xing and added quietly, "It's quite difficult to find a school cafeteria that is worse than EDG."

The environment of EDG's canteen is quite clean and tidy, and the variety of dishes is really rich.

It's just that the quality is really worrying, making people look like they have no appetite.

The luxurious and atmospheric club image that Abu and the others built up in Gu Xing's heart in the afternoon was instantly shattered.
