What is a hexagon jungler?

The blue word "Victory" covers the fragments of the enemy's main crystal, and together with the golden rain falling from the sky, declares the end of the MSI final chapter!

"Well done, brothers!" Gu Xing's heart almost jumped out of his chest and he banged the table hard, "I told you before the game that I would definitely win!"

He hadn't experienced such an exciting moment in a long time. He couldn't help but threw off his headphones and got up to go find his teammates to celebrate.

Song Jinghao clenched his fists, roared loudly from his throat, and then hugged his jungler tightly.

"Wait a minute, buddy!" Jack had a smile on his face and opened his arms to join in.

Duan Deliang, who was on the edge of the player bench, followed closely behind.

"Where's Rui Xing, Rui Xing!" Gu Xing shouted hurriedly when he saw that one of his teammates was missing.

Kuro slumped in the gaming chair.

The golden ribbons pouring down from the dome fell on the table in front of him, and his feet trembled slightly due to the massive cheers of tens of thousands of spectators in the Zenith Stadium, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake.

Looking up at the big screen, a group photo of the five VG members was displayed in front of everyone against a golden background.

On it, Li Ruixing was making a scissor hand gesture, with a warm smile on his round face. At that time, he had just won the Spring Split, and he was so proud of the spring breeze that he still didn't know what he was going to experience in the entire mid-season.

Nowadays, the words '2018 Mid-Season Invitational Champion' appear particularly eye-catching under Li Ruixing in the makeup photo.

For some reason, Kuro's eyes suddenly became wet.

Then it was like a river bursting its banks. I could no longer hold back the tears that surged out. I had no choice but to let them burst out of my eyes along with the depression accumulated for more than half a month, dripping down my cheeks to the ground, and then being agitated by everyone's joy. shattered with din.

"Hey, didn't you keep saying that it would be impossible for you to drop the little pearl?" Yu Wenbo teased.

Li Ruixing stopped speaking harshly and covered his face with his hands, not wanting to expose his vulnerable side to the audience and teammates.

"Stop crying!" Gu Xing's voice was loud, "Now that you have won, let's celebrate."

"You are this year's MSI champion mid laner!"

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for trusting me!" Gu Xing's face glowed, "Otherwise we wouldn't have had the chance to use the blind monk!"

Li Ruixing responded without forgetting, "Thank you for trusting me..."

Whether it was the warm comfort from the opponent outside the court when he experienced a decline in form, or the willingness to believe that his Ryze R [Warp Path] would be able to encircle and suppress the enemy's absolute core at critical moments on the court, Gu Xing expressed this more than once Have unconditional trust.

Li Ruixing felt that it was this strength that allowed him to persist until the last moment of the decisive game.

This will be a precious memory that he will never forget.

Gu Xing showed his face and took the initiative to reach out and give him a high-five.

Not only him, but all members of VG gathered around Kuro. One person stretched out a hand to pull him up, and pulled Li Ruixing up to participate in the passionate embrace celebration.

The tip of Kuro's nose was red, listening to the cheers from the outside world that broke into his ears.

"VG!"

"VG!"

The previously chaotic noise gradually became unified, and the audience shouted the name of the champion team. The grand momentum continued in the venue for a long time!

Li Ruixing burst into laughter, feeling the firm strength of his teammates coming from his arms, and burst into a warm smile.

Just like him in the group photos.

In the live LPL commentary booth, the Haier brothers even burst into tears.

"This journey has not been easy. VG survived the desperate situation when the opponent grabbed the championship point first. They came back against the wind in one game and crushed the whole game. They chased two consecutive games to reverse the situation and finally won!"

"Even though they were not optimistic before the game, even though everyone said that VG's playing style has lagged behind the version, even though everyone thought that the players on the team were at a low point in their personal condition..."

The doll's voice was cadenced, and the thick nasal tone actually added a special charm to his words.

"But VG still withstood the heavy pressure and did not compromise. They competed at the same age and competed in the same version. They used practical actions to prove that they are still the world's number one team in the LOL field!"

"This is the charm of e-sports. Before the world is decided, no matter how big the setbacks are, don't give up. The most important thing is an indomitable heart!"

"Let us congratulate VG for becoming the 2018 MSI champion!" Miller conveyed the inspiring power through his voice, "Becoming the first team in the history of League of Legends e-sports to win the MSI championship for consecutive years, and also the first double-lap Grand Slam in an international competition. The (2S+2MSI) team has officially surpassed SKT in terms of accumulated honors and is a veritable e-sports giant!"

In sharp contrast to the LPL commentary booth is the studio. The atmosphere in the room is extremely low and the air is almost solid.

Sjokz's blond hair was messy and he was sitting on the sofa in an unsightly posture, mumbling uncontrollably.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

"How could we lose a game with a 2:1 lead?"

She recalled how arrogant she looked as if she was sure of victory when G2 held two championship points, and she couldn't help but feel her cheeks turn red with a hint of drunkenness.

Not far away is the European Division's commentary booth.

Sjokz could hear Caedrel's frustrated and negative tone.

"No one expected that G2, which we had high hopes for, would be defeated by VG in two consecutive games with a 2-1 lead!"

"I have to say that I am completely convinced by the amazing resilience shown by VG. They did not choose to give up in the face of adversity, but tried every means to win the game." Vedius did not lose his composure and still maintained the official commentary. Decent, "Their team is more worthy of this MSI championship than G2!"

Sjokz sighed briefly, his face, which usually had a bright smile, filled with sadness.

She entered the public eye in early 2012. At that time, Sjokz, who had a double degree from Ghent University, could have easily found a high-paying job in Belgium, but he did not hesitate to get involved in the field of LOL e-sports hosting, which was not yet out of the circle at that time, and supported her. The decision was made out of love.

For six years, she has wanted to watch a local team in the European Division win an international championship trophy!

However, he returned disappointed again and again.

This mid-season tournament held in Europe gave Sjokz a glimmer of hope.

G2, the strongest team in the history of the European division, has the right time, place and people, and the probability of winning is extremely high!

Sjokz thought so until G2 pushed VG to the high ground in the fourth game of the final.

She feels that her long-cherished wish that has been unfulfilled for many years will be realized by G2. The European region can finally win an international championship, and it is even more meaningful to win it locally!

However, the situation took a turn for the worse, VG achieved a shocking reversal, and stunned G2 to successfully defend the MSI championship!

"Hurry up and get ready to go to the main stage," a staff member came in and reminded Sjokz softly, "We still have to do post-game interviews."

Sjokz quickly wiped his face, combed his hair that was messed up while watching the game, smiled repeatedly in the mirror, and made sure that he would not lose his composure in public. Then he stepped out of the studio on high heels.

On the way, the narrator Caedrel was still chattering and lamenting.

"I think the turning point was at the last moment of the fourth game. With the numerical advantage, G2 was too impatient and wanted to flatten the VG base to win the cup. However, they were accidentally divided by the enemy in the team battle. On the contrary, Being dragged into the deciding game by VG's comeback victory..."

"After this point, G2's state seemed to be out of whack. They made frequent mistakes and collapsed at the last moment, so that they were easily defeated by Virtue's blind monk in the decisive game!"

"If things go smoothly like this, G2 really has a chance to win the championship!" He fisted his hands with a look of regret on his face, "What a pity, what a pity!"

Vedius had no intention of talking to his partner who was full of negative emotions, and instead looked at the G2 player seat on the main stage.

Contrary to the VG player seats where people were celebrating heartily, there was no deserted atmosphere here.

The five team members had sad faces and very negative will.

Obviously still immersed in the pain of defeat and unable to extricate himself.

Vedius took a deep breath and comforted him, "G2 members don't be too sad. You have made history in the region, becoming the first team to reach the MSI finals, and you gave a wonderful BO5 match today!" "

"You have tried your best to lose, but you are still proud of it. You can leave the stage with a smile!"

The European division's commentary will be broadcast to all spectators at the scene, and of course players who have taken off their headphones can also hear it.

But Vedius's consolation didn't have much effect.

The G2 members were still looking downcast.

If they were crushed and defeated 3-0, they might not be so heartbroken.

But the most unacceptable thing for them is that they clearly saw the dawn of victory and the trophy, but in the end they ruined the good situation due to various reasons!

The greatest pain in the world is to see hope and then see it dashed.

Beryl leaned back on the chair and let the golden ribbons sprinkled indiscriminately from the dome fall to the top of her head.

He recalled how flustered he was when his team fell into a big disadvantage in the final game, and he felt extremely painful inside.

If they could calm down at that time and make suggestions for the team and think about a comeback strategy, would G2 be able to hold on for a while longer?

It's a pity that there is no if.

The precocious Beryl has deeply realized a truth - professional players should control their emotions well.

Ah P even took off his glasses. He didn't want tears to flow freely on his cheeks. He squeezed his facial features to control his emotions, but he looked even sadder.

He boasts that he has performed the best in international competitions in his career. In the entire MSI, there were a total of 18 small games. Perkz was able to suppress his opponents in almost every game. He was once named the best player in the world by the audience!

However, in the fourth game, Yasuo was too aggressive and was stopped, and in the fifth game, he repeatedly gave Gu Xing the opportunity to arrest himself. In the end, he made a big mistake, and G2 missed the championship!

Perkz is really not optimistic.

These mistakes will linger in his mind for many late nights to accompany him to sleep.

Looking at the VG players who excitedly crossed the center of the stage to shake hands, Perkz finally tried to adjust himself and forced a smile to congratulate his old acquaintances for winning the cup.

"You didn't miss the shots at MSI this time," Gu Xing praised Ah P, "You're very dominant!"

He meant what he said.

Although Perkz made mistakes in the final, it undoubtedly caused more trouble for VG.

The deep hero pool that fits the version and his outstanding personal abilities made Kuro complain so much that he almost had his heart broken!

"What's the matter?" Perkz smiled bitterly, "There is still no championship..."

Gu Xing didn't have the energy to comfort him anymore, so he turned his head to find Jankos for a hug.

"You deserve this championship trophy," Xiaoyang said seriously, "I finally realize the gap between me and you."

Others may not know it, but he himself knows how much advantage he has taken.

Line rights are crucial for junglers.

And the center route right is even more important!

Looking back at all League of Legends games, as long as there is a top mid laner leading the team, the basic performance of the jungler will not be bad.

A solid mid lane right allows the jungler to set the pace or invade without worrying that the enemy mid laner will come first!

Jankos has the top mid laner Perkz in this finals. In the five-set match, except for the game of Dragon King, Ah P can be said to have the right to set the line.

Logically speaking, the jungler should be able to make waves in the enemy jungle like a fish in water.

But Gu Xing's response was exquisite.

In games where there is no line right in the middle, he will sometimes be silent, but he never collapses!

If Kuro can try his best to maintain the balance of power in the middle, then Jankos will suffer the same fate!

In a BO5 match with the top mid laner, he was suppressed by Gu Xing. Jankos felt that he was not to blame!

"You're already great...try to work harder," Gu Xing patted him on the shoulder, "See you in the World Championship!"

Gu Xing and Xiaoyang passed by each other and came to Gu Shengbin with a wicked smile on their faces.

Imp pursed his lips and reluctantly shook hands with Gu Xing, still muttering in three languages, "WTF Xiba..."

Koo Sung Bin was very upset after missing the Grand Slam in a roller coaster ride.

He once imagined how to celebrate after winning the cup, but it turned out to be useless!

"Pfft, you still have to practice!" Jack smiled playfully, "If it doesn't work out, just go back to VG and be my substitute. Lao Gu is a kind-hearted man and doesn't want to see his old teammates sad. I might be able to take you to another MSI!"

When Gu Shengbin saw that his substitute boy dared to make fun of him, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "You are too crazy, be careful of being raped in the future!"

"Just a little bit, if you don't accept it, I'll beat you up..." Jack was now feeling refreshed and his expression was very arrogant, just like a Shiba Inu sticking out its tongue.

After bidding farewell to the G2 members, the five VG players were surrounded by the coaching staff and management team who rushed up.

"Hi, Su Gu, it's really you!" Hongmi looked pleased, "You really didn't disappoint me!"

Facts have proved that in the fifth game, his BP strategy of offloading Gu Xing's burden and letting the jungler go into battle lightly to start the singles was extremely correct!

With his outstanding personal ability, Gu Xing is like a sharp knife tearing apart the enemy's defense line!

"Really?" Gu Xing smiled gently, "I also think my performance in the fifth game was pretty good..."

"Congratulations!" Mr. Hou came forward to congratulate him, with an elegant and humble smile on his face.

The two held each other's hands as hard as they did a year and a half ago, except that the former had two more gold stars on his uniform, while the latter didn't have any trace of a professional player in his suit and ties.

"I have regained a little bit of the feeling of the S6 World Championship," Gu Xing said sincerely, "Although it's not complete yet, it still makes my blood boil."

Hou Ye, who listened to VG's voice all the way backstage, naturally knew what his old teammate was referring to.

"That would be great..." Li Zhixun's eyes showed nostalgia.

"Hurry up and hold the cup!" He pretended to be brisk and urged Gu Xing.

The five starting players of VG could no longer hold back. They came to the high platform with the trophy. Each of them stretched out a hand and raised the golden championship trophy above their heads!

In an instant, the spotlight focused on the top of the head, and the flashing lights in the stands flashed endlessly!

"Congratulations to VG again for winning this mid-season championship after five rounds of hard work!" Sjokz stepped onto the stage with a professional smile. "Next, let's invite Riot co-founders Ryze and Tryndamere to come on stage to present the award to the champion!"

The two Riot founders and Gu Xing are old acquaintances. They were cheerful when they took the stage, as if they had remembered something happy.

For Riot, as long as G2 faces VG in the finals, it's already a win.

If G2 wins the cup, it will be the first international championship in the European division since S1, which will definitely boost the activity of the EU League.

If VG wins the championship, Fist will still not lose.

Faker did not come to participate, and another traffic superstar was Gu Xing.

The two Ryzes are different from the designers. They are eager to create a top e-sports star. Gu Xing winning the championship means a hot topic, which is beneficial to the promotion of Riot Games!

"Have you heard about the Asian Games?" Ruiz was still whispering while shaking hands with Gu Xing, "Try to show the good side of our players."

He didn't know about the Asian Games before.

However, since LOL has the opportunity to become a performance event, it is the best thing. Ryze wants to add fuel to the fire and make e-sports further move closer to traditional sports events!

During this period, the player's image is very important.

Especially for a superstar like Gu Xing, his interviews during the competition and his words and deeds on camera can easily affect the layman's impression of League of Legends esports.

"I understand." Gu Xing nodded, bent down and let Ruiz hang the trophy around his neck, raised his head and showed a bright smile to the camera.

"The next thing that will be announced is the FMVP award." Sjokz took out the envelope and opened it. "The winner is..."

She glanced over and said, "You are still a Virtue player, congratulations!"

Waves of applause erupted once again in the Zenith Stadium, and VG fans applauded happily to celebrate the team's star winning the honor.

Various data during the Gu Xing finals were displayed on the big screen.

Game1 (W): 3/0/10, 4% group participation rate, number of successful raids +4 in the first 15 minutes.

Game2 (L): 2/2/7, 100% participation rate...

Game3 (L): 4/3/9, 65% participation rate...

Game4 (W): 5/2/10, team damage proportion is 0%.

Game5 (W): 8/0/7, the opponent's economic lead is +4833, and the number of successful raids in the first 15 minutes is +6.

There are losses and losses in the five games, but the data are generally extremely beautiful and brilliant!

After watching it alone, the audience suddenly realized that Gu Xing's stability throughout the finals was ridiculously exaggerated!

The disadvantages will be lost if you don't make a big mistake, and the advantages will snowball steadily. You can use heroes from Troll to Kindred to Lee Sin. You can control all different styles. It can be called an all-round hexagonal jungler!

Compared to the top laner who is not taken seriously, the mid laner who often loses lane rights and is suppressed, the shooter who is a ghost every time, and the somewhat unknown support who has steadily taken Luo's ban position, Gu Xing's performance can be called It is the anchor of the entire team!

[My dear, I don’t know if you don’t see it, but I’m shocked when I see it. My impression is that Brother Xing was quite messy in a few games, but I didn’t expect that he had a positive record in all of them? 】

[The inheritance of the seven ghost legs is like this, even if you lose KDA, it will still look good]

[Alas, my expectations have been raised due to the usual thin crushing games. Brother Xing has basically never been cheated. At most, he only messed up two games, but in the mouth of some trolls, he turned into a cheater.]

[To be honest, other than Brother Xing, it seems that no one else is worthy of winning FMVP]

[The weird thing about Brother Xing is that he is versatile, and he can play all-round in wild core rhythm control maps. How can the opponent withstand this? BP alone has brought huge benefits to VG! 】

[It is indeed the core of the bottom line. Even if you lose two games, you won't die much except for the late team battles. You are as stable as a monster! 】

"Player Virtue, please come to me..." Sjokz invited, handing the microphone to Gu Xing.

“Let’s talk about the feeling of winning first,” she said with a smile. “As far as I know, this is the first time you have played a full BO5 since the semi-finals of S6 against ROX, and you set off a counterattack to win against the headwind of losing the match point first. , is there anything you want to share with everyone?”

"This is indeed a very difficult final," Gu Xing said truthfully, "G2 is a very strong team, which caused us a lot of trouble and even pushed us into a desperate situation..."

"Since we haven't seen each other for half a year since the S7 finals, they have grown to such a high level that it has to be impressive."

Sjokz was very satisfied with Gu Xing's answer.

Not only her, but also the European spectators in the stands. While they accepted the praise, they did not forget to applaud Gu Xing.

"Although the opponent was very strong, we still managed to survive with our own willpower," Gu Xing continued. "I think the key to being able to come back and win the championship is not to lose trust in our teammates."

"I believe that my teammates can perform their output tasks well, and they also believe that I can open up the enemy's gap in the early stage and drive the offensive rhythm. This is the secret to victory, and it is also the reason why we can sweep away the decline and find ourselves in the fifth game. the roots of.”

"As we all know, League of Legends is a team competitive game, and the team is supreme. Everyone in our team is a component of this precision machine. Although the division of labor is different, none of them can be missing."

Gu Xing spoke his thoughts eloquently, "If you don't trust your teammates, don't communicate with them at critical moments, and don't support each other through difficulties with them, you are destined to fail to win the championship."

Sjokz was convinced after listening to Vincent's translation. He waited for the applause in the stands to subside before continuing to ask.

"When you were cornered by G2, Virtue player you chose Kindred and Lee Sin for two consecutive games. These two heroes you once shined in the global finals. Is this intentional or accidental?"

"Of course it was intentional," Gu Xing looked towards the front row of the stands with a relaxed smile, "I'm very grateful to my girlfriend for her support. She brought a very eye-catching support banner with Kindred and Blind Monk on it today. "

"When I saw the banner in the player stand, I suddenly thought, 'How about giving them a try, anyway, it will definitely not be worse than now'," Gu Xing's smile became more and more happy, "It's something to be thankful for. Yes, I did not let down these two heroes who helped me win the S championship. They won the crucial game and helped me build endless confidence."

Continuous whistles sounded at the scene, and the audience in the European competition was very interested in this section, and the cheers and laughter were endless.

Shen Guanshan's earlobes were dyed with a thrilling pink color, and the corners of his mouth could hardly close, but he kept waving the support banner in his hand.

"A very legendary explanation," Sjokz sent his blessing with a smile, "I also hope that Virtue player can relax with your girlfriend in Paris after winning the championship."

"The end of MSI marks the end of the first half of the season, so what are Virtue players' subsequent goals?"

Gu Xing pondered for two seconds.

During the mid-season, the news that LOL was selected for the Asian Games has already spread, sparking heated discussions on major forums, and Gu Xing is not shy about it now.

"I will participate in the Asian Games next, and I hope to take one step at a time, win glory for the country and win the championship of this event first!"

He was firm.

The Asian Games is not only about whether the suspension of study plan can be continued, but also has great symbolic significance.

I’ve decided on this championship!

I will write a post-game opinion piece tomorrow. I typed 16,000 words today. It’s really hard to finish. My hands are almost numb...

I'll take a nap first.

Try to make more updates during the holidays.
