What is a hexagon jungler?

Team leader Jin Wenhyuk knocked on the dormitory door one by one, reminding the players to get up at that time, and said in his mouth, "Pack up all the team uniforms, and don't wear them wrong. It doesn't matter whether you are starting or substituting, otherwise you will be fined." ..."

Gu Xing rubbed his sore eyes from staying up all night, first picked up the glass on the bedside table, poured water into his mouth, then turned over and got out of bed to fold the quilt.

The club issued three sets of summer short-sleeved team uniforms to each player.

He washed the uniform once he got it yesterday morning, and now he puts it on and looks at the effect in the mirror.

Different from the racing uniforms in spring, the front of the summer team uniforms is pure black, with the VG team logo on the left chest, and two sponsor advertisements on the right—Magic Claw and Douyu.

The overall feeling is very capable.

After washing up, Gu Xing changed into clothes, shoes and socks, picked up his backpack and went downstairs to meet his teammates.

"There are steamed stuffed buns on the dining table, if you are hungry, you can take two pads to pad your stomach," Long Ge scratched his hair that was stunned from sleeping, "We have a game at 7 o'clock in the evening, so it's okay to have a little something at noon. "

He knew that Gu Xing was a newcomer, so he explained it to the other party, "Just remember to try not to eat too much food before the game, as it will make you sleepy easily, which will slow down your reaction and affect your state."

Gu Xing could figure this out very quickly. When he had an exam in the afternoon in high school, he wouldn't eat too much for fear of getting sleepy.

Last night, Jin Wenhyuk gave him a general introduction to the game's playing process, so Gu Xing ate two meat buns, and then ran to the training room to unplug the keyboard and mouse cables from his desk.

Although the LPL officially prepared the keyboard and mouse in advance, most of the current players still choose to bring their own, after all, their own things are easy to use.

Gu Xing wrapped the peripherals with a mouse pad and put them in a backpack, and boarded the bus outside the base villa with his teammates.

After sitting down, I just wanted to find a Jay Chou song from the music library, when I saw Kim Moon Hyuk sitting next to me and motioned him to take off the earphones.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xing didn't know why.

Jin Wenhyuk said solemnly, "I think you are quite nervous, so come here and enlighten me."

Gu Xing felt baffled, "Where did you see that I was nervous?"

Jin Wenhyuk:?

After hearing this answer, he was at a loss.

It stands to reason that young people who have no experience in public performances before will feel a little nervous before the first official LPL game.

This is totally understandable.

After all, it is very normal to have a psychological burden to compete in front of tens of thousands of spectators on the spot and in front of the Internet.

VG Club attaches great importance to youth training now, and it is necessary to provide psychological counseling for newcomers before playing.

Because of this, Kim Moon-hyuk took on the task of relieving the pressure for the players.

He did it very smoothly. Even though he didn't major in psychology in college, he gradually worked out.

During the period when VG was leading the team, the players who received his pre-match coaching all gave a thumbs up.

Jin Wenhe never expected that he would actually suffer from the two rookies who joined VG in the summer split!

The first regular season, JackeyLove debut.

At that time, when he went to talk before the game, he found that the boy had a disgusted face, and the original words were like this: "Dude, I didn't feel nervous when I broadcast live to many people. It was just a game, so there is nothing to worry about. ?”

After thinking about it carefully, I found it acceptable. After all, Jack had a live broadcast experience before playing professionally, and the number of viewers was not small. He was being barraged with various rhythms every day, and his ability to withstand stress should be quite strong.

But what about Gu Xing?

Jin Wenhe couldn't understand it.

It is true that Gu Xing has never done a live broadcast, nor has he ever participated in an official competition.

But he has something like social bullshit.

Previously, I had the opportunity to be broadcasted in the Happy Hour Internet Cafe. Even if the rank is very high, after experiencing the satisfaction brought by showing off the first few times, normal players have to face the attention of others every time they play the game. very uncomfortable.

Gu Xing didn't take it to heart at all at the time, the surrounding environment and onlookers couldn't bring him any pressure at all.

It would be nice if someone could watch him play!

He is eager to interact with the audience and opponents again, but unfortunately the LPL rules do not allow it.

"Aren't you nervous?" Jin Wenhyuk repeated.

Seeing Gu Xing nodding repeatedly and urging himself to leave quickly so as not to delay him listening to the song, Jin Wenhyuk felt rather lost.

Is not, where is the problem?

The bus started slowly and drove out of Haowang Mountain to Minhang District.

The location of the LPL Summer Games is Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center, which is about half an hour's drive from Songjiang University Town.

Jay Chou was still singing the sparrow outside the window and poking his mouth on the telephone pole. Not long after, the VG League of Legends bus had already arrived outside the venue.

Manager Lu Wenjun glanced out the window, "There are club fans and official photographers outside, please pay attention."

Gu Xing put his bag on his back, and when he got out of the car after Xiao Duan, he saw someone next to him holding up a mobile phone and a camera to take pictures.

He greeted each other with a graceful wave.

However, the surrounding people didn't know Gu Xing, and they only thought that the young man was quite handsome, so they focused their attention on the other contestants.

Gu Xing is not very popular.

It is even said that the entire VG has no fans.

If it weren't for the two champion Korean aids, Imp and Easyhoon, it is estimated that there would not even be these big fans who arrived at the venue ahead of time to take photos.

Lu Wenjun didn't care about that, and led the players into the venue through the backstage passage, and found the room with the VG team sign.

"This is our lounge. Before the game, the players are mainly active here," Jin Wenhe explained to Gu Xing, "Of course, if you have any familiar friends from other teams, you can also visit the other team's lounge, as long as you don't violate the rules. good."

Gu Xing nodded to indicate that he understood, and after entering the room, he still looked at the interior environment of the lounge.

The space here is quite spacious, about the same size as the training room at the base.

There are also two whiteboards, one of which still has a map of Summoner's Rift.

The difference is that there is no computer, and there is an LCD TV hanging on the wall.

"What are you doing with the TV in the lounge?" Gu Xing was very curious.

Jin Wenhyuk answered every question, "After you go to the field and start the game, this TV will broadcast the live broadcast of the game, and will also broadcast the voice of the team, so that people in the room can know the content of your communication at that time."

Gu Xing suddenly realized.

Not long after, a staff member came in to inform the contestants to put on makeup.

This link is completely in the blind spot of Gu Xing's knowledge. He usually only uses facial cleanser plus treasure, and has never put on makeup.

When he arrived at the designated room, Gu Xing sat on a chair and let the makeup artist fiddle with it.

"Are you new, is this your first time here?" the other party said slowly.

"How do you know?" Gu Xing asked without understanding, "Is it because I looked around when I came in?"

The make-up artist said slowly, "Not only that, whoever has delicate skin is a newcomer. Anyway, your work, rest and diet are not healthy, and you basically don't have good skin."

"In April, I was in the secondary league. The Jing'an Sports Center was in charge of makeup. One of the teams in the finals was called YM. There was a guy in it whose skin was amazing..."

"Then is there any way to avoid it?" Although Gu Xing didn't care much about his appearance, since his background was not bad, he felt that there was no need to spoil it.

"Exercise more and drink more water. There are many methods. The most important thing is self-discipline." The makeup artist is a chatterbox, so he babbled a few words when he had nothing to do, and taught him a little trick.

Back in the rest room, Gu Xing took out the keyboard and mouse from his backpack and handed it over to the staff to let the official test whether it complies with the regulations.

Jack handed him a white disposable paper cup with the LPL logo on it.

"The drink machine is in the corridor. There are Coke, Sprite, milk tea and coffee. You can pick it up by yourself. You don't need to spend as much as you want." Yu Wenbo has been here several times before, and he is quite familiar with this place.

Gu Xing poured tons of Coca-Cola, and Jin Wenhyuk brought back all the players' peripherals, and by the way, let the players prepare to go on stage to debug the machines.

It's still early now, the audience has not yet entered the arena, hundreds of seats are empty, only the on-site staff can be seen.

The overhead spotlights were also off, and the stage looked dim and monotonous.

"The ones in black are the referees. During the game, they will stand at the back of the players' seats to monitor in case there is any violation of the rules and cheating," Jin Wenhyuk introduced to him. "The arrangement of the seats is like this... the top laner is at the edge, towards the inside of the stage. The order is jungler, mid laner, ADC and support."

Gu Xing found his seat, the computer was turned on, the monitor was a standard 24-inch monitor, and the USB ports of the peripherals were all placed on the table.

After plugging it in and confirming that the keyboard and mouse can be used normally, a referee instructed beside, "There is a private server client on the computer desktop, and the ID has been registered for you, just restart it once."

It is worth mentioning that the game uniforms used in college leagues are refreshed with only a fixed amount of gold coins and coupons. All heroes can be used, but they are in an unowned state-similar to a weekly free form. If you want to buy skins, you must buy them first. hero.

Once the coupons for the game server are used up, if they are not refreshed by the official, they cannot continue to buy skins.

However, LSPL and LPL have already entered the professional e-sports system. In order to ensure the purity and low latency of the competition environment, the game is set up on-site with a private server. The official server directly brushes all heroes and skins, and you can use it casually. .

When Gu Xing heard that all the skins were unlocked, he couldn't help but be very happy. You must know that besides the season rewards, he only has one paid skin - Muay Thai blind monk, which was given by Jack.

Even Ding Ran, who has filled up a lot of money, can't keep up with the number of private server players' accounts in his collection!

Gu Xing looked at his 20 pages of runes, and couldn't help but shine his eyes.

Never fought such a rich battle before!

He quickly inlaid the runes, made the best use of everything, and made subtle adjustments to each page to deal with different enemy lineups.

In the personal information in the upper right corner of the client, the name of VGVirtue is particularly eye-catching.

...

"Welcome back to Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center. This is the live broadcast of the 2016 League of Legends Professional League Summer Split. Hello everyone, I am the commentator!"

He has a middle-of-the-road voice and a garish hairdo.

The commentary partner Miller next to him was set off in a gentle manner.

"Today is also the first match day of the third week. In the 5 o'clock match that just ended, EDG easily swept IG 2-0," Waowa was still reporting the results of the last game to the audience. "At present, the problem of IG's bottom lane is still there It was solved very well, and only Rookie was online in the whole team."

"If things go on like this, I can only say that IG's path this summer will be more difficult."

Miller echoed, "That's right, and in the upcoming match, RNG, the current leader in Group B, will face the third-ranked VG!"

"This can also be called a battle of focus. Both teams changed their ADC players in the summer. Uzi and Imp, two players, once met in the finals of the S4 World Championship..."

The director also gave a close-up of the players' seats of the two teams on the big screen at the scene.

The moment Uzi appeared in the camera, the overcrowded auditorium burst into enthusiastic cheers!

As the champion of the Spring Split, RNG has another strong support, and now it is gaining momentum, and its popularity seems to be at the top of the league!

In contrast, the number of VG fans is not large, and the outburst of support has obviously decreased.

When the camera shifted to Gu Xing, he looked relaxed and smiled brightly.

Miller introduced to the audience, "VG jungler Virtue, this is an 18-year-old player who is currently No. 1 in the national server. He has never had professional game experience before. list."

After learning that Gu Xing was on the field, I prepared some information, but apart from the deeds of climbing to the top of Ionia, there is really nothing to say.

The rest of the breaking news of "Trial pressure matchup jungler 80 knives, let imp call it right", Miller can also guess that the protagonist is Gu Xing - after all, VG only has two junglers, and World6 is considered an old player Yes, it can be completely ruled out.

But his first reaction when he saw the news was that someone was doing a spoof.

Miller, like the vast majority of viewers, believes that it is impossible for the jungler to undercut 80 knives. This is his accumulated experience in explaining and watching games for many years.

So he didn't mention it at all.

But the audience in the live broadcast room of the game still remembers this incident.

80 knives, so-and-so direct call is right, has become a well-known meme on the forum recently, and there are endless arguments in the barrage.

[The incense pot doesn't pressure him for 80 knives, so let Uzi call it right? 】

[Still the same sentence, with RNG's lineup, I don't know how to lose! 】

[However, VG's new jungler looks pretty good, and his smile is really sunny]

[MLXG is called the Big Harry Potter, so it’s not bad, is it? 】

[Today, if Virtue can press the incense pot for 80 dollars, I will eat five catties of shit directly! 】

Wawa also felt that the matchup between the jungler and the jungler in this round was not optimistic. "Today, the rookie will face the pot. For Virtue, it is a severe challenge, and it is also an opportunity for growth and improvement..."

His tone was mild.

Gu Xing, who was sitting on the player's bench, didn't know how the audience and commentators evaluated him. He was wearing sound-proof headphones, so he could only faintly hear the noise from the audience, but he couldn't tell what people were saying.

"Xiao Gu entered the room, ready to start!" Brother Long reminded him.

Gu Xing quickly accepted the game invitation that popped up in the upper right corner of the client, and entered the custom room named 'PB_LPL_RNG_VG_GAME1.1'.

PB is 'Project Banana', the abbreviation of Banana Project, followed by the name of the league and the two sides.

Game1.1 is the first opening of the first game. If you encounter any BP problems or on-site bugs and need to restart the game, it will become Game1.2.

It is mainly to facilitate the referee to write report documents after the game.

The five members of VG where Gu Xing was located were all on the right side of the room. The team did not have the priority to choose sides in this round, and they were on the red side in the first round.

On the left side of the custom room, there are all RNG prefixes.

The two world champions Looper and Mata, Uzi who has entered the finals of the World Championship for two consecutive years, and the genius boy Xiaohu who even single-handedly defeated Faker in the mid-season...

As well as my direct opponent in this game, the spicy hot pot who is also in the seven wolves!

In the process of thinking, Imp has already started typing on the keyboard, exchanging greetings with his two former teammates.

The private server has been adjusted. Not only can the text and voice system of the client and the game be switched to Korean, but chat and typing are no problem.

The three Koreans were chatting happily in the room, but Gu Xing didn't interrupt.

He noticed that the spectator positions are no longer occupied by the coaches of both sides like in the training games.

It is OB01 to OB04, four backstage staff who are responsible for cutting screens to broadcast images, and six accounts of LiveProducer (on-site producer) and HeadRef (chief referee).

"Check the equipment again," the referee reminded Gu Xing and others, "If it is confirmed to be correct, we are about to start."

"No problem, let's drive!" Long Ge was eager to try.

Gu Xing took a deep breath, adjusted his excitement, and prepared for the first match of his career!

There was a powerful clanging sound from the earphones, and the custom room changed into competitive recruiting mode!

"RNG is on the blue side in this game, and they first sent the vampire to the ban position," Miller followed his train of thought, "The vampire is also a hero that has undergone a major rework in the mid-season version, and now its strength is very high. Fabian brush, very suitable for Easyhoon."

Redmi did her homework before the game, so she banned Leopard Girl without much hesitation.

Today's Leopard Girl has dominated the wild area, and her high efficiency and flexibility in clearing the wild make her favored by professional teams.

And Mala Xiangguo has not yet changed his style of play. He is very good at the role of leopard female male gun. If VG on the red side does not ban him, RNG will probably grab it.

"The second ban position of RNG is given to the ice girl Lissandra," Miller laughed when he saw this, "It's very aimed at Lord Hou. He deserves to be the core of the VG team, and the treatment is quite luxurious!"

Although Easyhoon is known as a brush hero, known as the defensive tower in the middle, the audience's impression of him is an enhanced version of U Gus, who never leaves the line when he frantically brushes.

It's actually pure prejudice.

He also plays roaming support roles.

Ice Girl is the roaming mid laner he uses most often, and her proficiency is very high.

There are still 3 ban positions in the current game, and giving Easyhoon two of them is already respected.

Hongmi knows that the ice girl is very restrained in the current version of the enchantress, and the opponent's mid laner Xiaohu has a good grasp of the trick enchantress LeBlanc, so she chooses to press her to death.

The main reason is to prevent Xiaohu from frequently cooperating with Xiangguo after taking out the Enchantress, so as to drive the rhythm of the game.

"RNG's last ban gave a short section of Thresh, while VG blocked the troll!"

The troll is still the front row nemesis in the current version, and has a certain single-belt pulling ability, so it may be troublesome for Looper to get it.

The ban positions of both teams are all used up, and now it is the turn of the blue side RNG to choose first.

RNG's head coach, Fly, is also a Korean. He asked Xiangguo through a translator, "Do you think you need to grab a male gun?"

Graves is still a popular choice in the version, and his combat power is too strong.

"Hmm..." Mala Xiangguo thought for a while, "Take it, I can carry it."

Although the opposing jungler is a rookie, as he said in the Seven Wolves before.

It is impossible for oneself to underestimate the enemy and release water.

"There is no problem, the male gun is selected first," Waowa looked to the other side, "VG took out Ike and Bron!"

This version of Ike is mainly used as a top laner. It doesn't need too much ability power to deal decent percentage damage. It is also very effective against tank heroes.

Unlike trolls who simply restrain the front row characters, Ike's lethality to the front row in team battles is not too great. The main reason is that his characteristics are flexible, and he can rush to the back row to threaten the enemy's output.

To put it bluntly, it's a shit-stirring stick.

"RNG got Sivir for Uzi, as well as the bull head of the support position, and decided to hide the choice of the two solo lanes in the upper and middle lanes until the end." Miller saw that VG chose Lucian, and understood Redmi's intentions, "It looks like VG's bot lane is going to put pressure on the lane, and they definitely don't want Uzi to develop smoothly and transition to the late stage."

Wa Wa continued, "VG got the Excavator Rek'Sai as the fourth pick, and we also want to focus on the early rhythm and try to speed up the whole team!"

"The last two choices for RNG are Bobby and Syndra!" Miller's eyes lit up, "The top two backhand heroes can perfectly deal with VG's forced attack!"

Hongmi paced behind the player's bench, and at the same time discussed the hero selection with her mid laner.

"If I choose the yellow chicken," Easyhoon looked at Gu Xing, "Can you resist the pressure of the jungle?"

The hero of the desert emperor, basically can't help the jungler in the early stage, just hang on the line to brush.

He was afraid that RNG's middle field would turn Gu Xing's field into ruin.

"It's okay, I won't meet the opponent in the wild," Gu Xing thought for a while, "You can choose."

Redmi nodded at the end, and Xiao Duan helped lock the Desert Emperor!

In the end, the lineup of both sides was determined.

Blue side RNG: top laner Poppy, jungler, mid laner Syndra, bottom laner Sivir + Bullhead.

Red Fang VG: top laner Ike, jungler Excavator, mid laner Yellow Chicken, bottom laner Lucian + Bron.

"Gu Xing, you can perform normally, just show your strength in the training match," Hongmi squeezed his shoulder, "It's just a regular game, don't take winning or losing too seriously."

"Understood," Gu Xing moved his fingers, looking extremely expectant, "Just don't worry!"

The sound of cheering in the audience didn't stop until the moment when Summoner's Canyon came to the scene, the sound reached its peak in an instant!
