694: The Decisive Battle Is Coming!
Chapter 694 694: The decisive battle is coming!
Gu Xing took off his earphones, picked up the paper cup and took a sip of the drink out of habit. He felt the rich bubbles of Coca-Cola blooming in his mouth, and was filled with joy.
"Maibo," he raised his voice, "please take notes on two computers!"
The post-match panel on the monitor clearly showed that Gu Xing scored 11 kills in this game, while Song Jinghao only had 8 kills in the end.
win!
Smeb muttered to vent his emotions, "The sword girl across from me is such a brat. Why won't the gods and demons come to fight me? What kind of hero can I be if I am just hiding under the tower?"
The surrounding environment was noisy. Gu Xing didn't hear Song Jinghao's words clearly, so he put his hand on the other person's shoulder and said in a joking tone, "Steamed buns, don't you have a handle?"
"Hey, stop barking!" Song Jinghao said angrily, "Two computers are just two computers!"
What he cared about wasn't money - two computers were worth a day's salary at best, which was equivalent to working for Gu Xing in this game.
Smeb values face more.
At the beginning, I got two heads in a row and gave Gu Xing a crazy face, thinking that he would never lose. Thinking about it now, I feel ashamed!
Gu Xing, who had succeeded in free sex, smiled happily and heard the hoarse commentary echoing in the Dalian Sports Center.
"Let us congratulate VG for adding another hearty victory to the LPL division." Hao Kai's iconic commentary method once impressed Gu Xing. He could tell the identity of the opponent just by listening to the sound with his ears. Take down the Lightning Wolf with overwhelming force, and give the opponent the Linglong Tower without mercy!"
The hallucinogenic slow voice is also very distinctive, "Hong Kai really understands Brother Xing's move. He is sure that the damage of the entire Flash Wolves team is not high enough, and it is difficult for Zoe, the provider of explosive output, to deal with him." He poses a threat, so he simply becomes Hong Kai. During team battles, he can roam freely in the opponent's formation, and no one can restrain him!"
After listening to the commentator's praise, Gu Xing's smile became even brighter.
Although Hallucinogen didn't guess all the reasons for his transformation into Red Kai, who doesn't like to receive compliments from others?
However, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
The Flash Wolf members just couldn't laugh.
Moojin rubbed his eyebrows in distress.
His stress reaction is very severe.
Just because he had just joined Flash Wolves for half a year, this was the first time he had been tortured and trained by VG.
Now Moojin is almost delirious!
Betty's eyes were even more confused, and she couldn't hide the frustration in her expression.
Before the game, he thought he would lose today, but he never expected that he would lose so miserably!
Not only the Linglong Tower, but also the heads are zero!
The entire team had nothing to gain. It would be no exaggeration to say that they were speed-passed by VG!
And the way of failure was completely different from last year’s Intercontinental Championship!
It was quite unbearable to have Hong Kai win the game by cutting his flesh with a blunt knife. As soon as the fight started, Hong Kai stuck to his body like chewing gum and couldn't even pull it off!
With his little output, hitting Gu Xing was almost like scratching an itch, and the damage he caused was not as much as what others could do!
The more Betty thought about it, the more painful it became. The most difficult thing to bear was that because he was from the same school, he could also understand the comments made by the on-site commentators.
"It can be seen that Flash Wolf tried hard to make himself more respectable today and not lose too ugly. Unfortunately, he still failed... After all, in the face of absolute hard power, all strategies seem extremely feeble!" Hao Kai would not do it! He missed every opportunity to show his face, and his attitude was very arrogant.
"As of now, LMS has not won its first victory on the intercontinental stage. Tomorrow the big brother Flash Wolves will face LCK's No. 1 seed KT. Whether it can earn some face for LMS depends on that focus match. !”
Fengtang, who was clearing away the keyboard, straightened the corners of his mouth into a straight line when he heard Hao Kai's words.
Although he was angry, there was nothing he could do.
Because everything Hao Kai said was true.
LMS has been hard pressed to win so far, and all the games it lost were treated like pigs by the opponent!
Even the Flash Wolf, the only card in the competition area where he was, was played by VG throughout the whole process!
Fengtang couldn't help but feel powerless.
It is undeniable that after Wolf King Kasa left, the overall strength of the Flash Wolves declined rapidly.
Now we can still dominate the LMS division, all thanks to the support of our peers!
AHQ's golden generation Ziv, Ximen Yeshuo and others have left one after another. The current LMS team strength has long been cut off. Flash Wolves can dominate the entire division with the help of four other players!
But when teams from outside the division compete, the plight of the Flash Wolves' declining absolute strength becomes clear!
In addition, the inevitable fact of LMS is that there is no new blood.
Young people all like to use stickers, and the decline of PC gaming is an indisputable fact in Fengtang’s hometown.
At the same time, the LMS's competition results, which have become worse year by year in recent years, are also a catalyst.
Tournament honors have a limited effect on attracting a large group of players, but they are crucial to the group of potential professional players who play well.
After all, if you want to embark on a career path, you have to be right.
With good results in foreign competitions, clubs can gain higher exposure and are willing to spend higher salaries to hire players.
Otherwise, if you only pay so much money in a month, you still have to bear the risk of losing the game and being criticized by netizens. It would be difficult for teenagers who are addicted to the Internet!
And if the club increases its investment and achieves good results, the youth training system will be established naturally. Cooperating with the promotion of famous teams, it will attract more high-level players to join professional e-sports, and it will surely prosper.
This is the case for the VG team of the LPL and SKT of the LCK. The clubs have performed well and the youth training has also played 6. Now they have been circulated within the system. In the future, they can make money by relying on the newcomers in the youth training. There is full of vitality and competition among all things. The sight of hair.
What does LMS have?
Nothing!
After six years of continuous baptism, the Dou Emperor bloodline that Assassin Star won the championship has already become extremely thin!
Fengtang is not stupid. He knows that if this continues, the LMS region will enter a vicious cycle, with no results, no investment, no new blood, well-known players leaving, and results getting worse and worse...
Isn’t it going to be smooth?
Maple had a sudden thought and stopped pulling on the USB cable.
Like most professional players, he has a certain affection for his home region.
But not much.
Yesterday, Fengtang saw his old teammate Karsa in the corridor of the hotel. His face was full of joy. Even though he was only the fourth seed of Cricket LPL, the high energy in his eyebrows could not deceive anyone.
There is a lot of money in the mainland and the level of competition is high. Why not go there to make money?
Old driver Kasa, please take care of me!
Gu Xing, who had just won two computer consoles, had no idea that the Flash Wolves mid laner wanted to join the LPL next season and become his comrades in the same division.
Since they were not very familiar with each other, Gu Xing had just killed Flash Wolf and shaved his head. Gu Xing did not exchange more greetings with the other party. After a simple handshake, he led his teammates to the center of the stage and enjoyed the excitement of the tens of thousands of spectators present. Warm cheers!
The audience present were all smiling and tapping the fluorescent sticks in their hands to show their support for VG.
The home team played such a hearty victory and nearly defeated the Flash Wolves. They felt that their tacit and silent actions during the opening ceremony were not in vain!
When Gu Xing heard the applause and cheers from the audience, he waved enthusiastically to show his inner gratitude.
In today’s post-game interview session, Jack was invited.
Chaowei took Yu Wenbo's previous instructions to heart and obediently picked up his teammate's peripherals and followed Gu Xing back to the lounge.
When they bumped into EDG who came to compete, Gu Xing did not forget to encourage them.
"Come on, brothers, try to win!"
Today Guodian will face LCK third seed SKT.
To be fair, SKT is not particularly strong this season.
Mainly thanks to the two Ueno brothers-Thal and Blank.
In the S6 year, Gu Xing used the help of the team's coaching staff and data analysis team to see clearly the true nature of Xiao Hei - this guy used wild core gameplay to defeat stupid chickens, and was not successfully transformed.
Coming to last year's World Championship, Xiao Hei's compatibility with SKT's classic grass-feeding gameplay has improved, and he has gradually turned into a stupid chicken.
But he was still vulnerable to Gu Xing's tyrannical power!
Blank was almost beaten until his mentality collapsed and he quit his Internet addiction on the spot!
After losing the S7 semi-finals, Xiao Hei has entered a state of confusion.
He began to deliberately imitate Gu Xing, believing that the opponent's style of play was more superior.
The result is that something is done in the same way.
Xiao Hei neither has Gu Xing's top-notch consciousness of almost opening the whole picture perspective, nor does he have Gu Xing's exquisite operation of C when he only needs resources.
After learning it, I imitated it and ended up looking completely different!
Coupled with Thal, who is known as the T King, SKT has a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, which can be regarded as a bargain!
No matter how the middle and lower teams carry the team, they can't bear the two brothers sending endless gifts!
Because of this, SKT has achieved its worst record in team history this year since 2014. It only finished third in the spring split and failed to even rank in the top four in the summer. It seems that even its tickets to the World Championship are in jeopardy!
Gu Xing feels that this declining e-sports giant cannot pose much of a threat to EDG. After all, SKT has two generals, T and B, and the breakthrough is visible to the naked eye.
Logically speaking, Guodian doesn't need to target others. It can just seize SKT's top and jungle flaws and target them to death, and then it can win the game.
Little Peanut thought the same way. Before going on stage, he assured Gu Xing confidently, "Don't worry, Brother Xing, wait and see how I beat Shan Jiu!"
Although he became famous in ROX, he was also a prisoner under SKT back then.
But everyone knows that Peanut is afraid of stupid chickens, not Blank.
As long as he faced Xiao Hei, Xiao Peanut would basically make a fatal move. This was especially true for S7 in the LCK for the whole year. SKT was suppressed by Dragon Ball and could not lift its head!
Relying on the advantageous record in the past, Peanut is confident and walks into the competition with his head held high.
Then……
No one thought of it, no one thought of it.
EDG, which Gu Xing had high hopes for, suffered a serious blow!
Only two and a half minutes into the game, Faker's Zoe began to operate.
Girl A first used a normal attack to kill the minion stuck between herself and her junior. The next moment she reached level three, she used E [Hypnosis Bubble] to stop the normal attack and then swing, accurately hitting Scout's Ryze!
It can be said that everyone knows how strong Zoe is in the early stage.
As long as you are hit by a bubble, you can basically say that you have no chance of line rights!
Faker filled up his flying stars, hit Scout heavily, and added a basic attack to cripple Ryze!
At the same time, he also put on Ignite, with a determined look of killing intent!
Normally, Zoe often uses Purify when playing against Ryze, so that she can remove the rune imprisonment to ensure that she will not be killed by ganks.
But Faker knew very well that if he did not stand up for this team, he would definitely lose.
Therefore, he brought the more offensive Ignite, and at this moment, he gave it to the younger brother, and immediately beat him up!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Scout quickly used Flash to escape to the tower.
But Li Xianghe did not intend to let him leave. He followed Flash and used W [Spell Thief] to pick up Flash, and then got close to the second Flash, using the continuous passive output to reduce the enemy's health, and finally stepped into the range of the defense tower, and a normal attack emptied Scout's health bar!
This scene caused a commotion in the LPL backstage lounge.
"Ah..." Gu Xing was dumbfounded, "It's less than 3 minutes, how can the middle lane be killed by Dansha?"
"No, this positioning is too careless, isn't it?!" Abu's voice was shrill and he held his head with both hands, "It's obviously against Zoe, so you should keep a certain distance from her, at least a full-blooded soldier!"
Jin Yibo, who came to watch the game, also realized that the situation was not good, and quickly turned his head to ask Gu Xing.
"Xiao Gu, can you understand the reason?"
Gu Xing was confused.
I don't play mid lane, who should I ask if you ask me?
"Turtle, Faker is angry," Li Yuanhao supported his tactical goggles and made his own judgment, "The situation will definitely explode after this bowl is played!"
Xiaohu is right.
In this version that emphasizes the right to the middle lane, what does it mean for the middle lane to be killed alone?
The next river crabs are all Blank's possession!
In addition, the upper and lower side lanes will also be heavily pressured by SKT's mid and jungle!
Xiaohuasheng was confused.
He was planning how to target Xiao Hei, but the good news came from the middle lane?
I play hammer!
"Ah..." Junior Junior held his forehead with regret, "Oh my, I should have been more careful."
Peanut hesitated to speak. Both of them were born in 1998, so they were close friends of the same age. They had a good relationship, but they didn't say anything harsh.
He silently canceled the original gank plan and plunged into the jungle to clean up the wild monsters, trying to make up for his own development before Faker exerted influence on the jungle.
But it still didn't quench his thirst.
Lee Sang Hyuk's offensive was extremely swift. After controlling the line, he came to invade non-stop!
Xiao Huasheng had no choice but to give up one group of wild monsters after another.
Blank's mouth was crooked with laughter.
He never expected that the opponent's mid laner would directly explode, which made the battle for the line right in the middle lane of both sides unbalanced at the beginning!
Although Xiao Hei has a big problem with his thinking now, who can't play in an advantageous game?
Blank broke into the jungle and madly attacked Xiaohua, and then went to the side lane to harass EDG players, making the players miserable!
When Gu Xing saw this, he knew that Guodian was probably doomed, and he had no choice but to browse the forum and make up for his injured heart by surfing the Internet.
The criticism storm against EDG in the anti-bar has not yet brewed and fermented, and everyone still has expectations for Guodian, thinking that it can try to turn the tables.
Therefore, it is still a scene of jubilation, and everyone is celebrating VG's crushing victory over Flash Wolves.
[Wow, this is the charm of Hong Kai! VG's jungler and support can kill two people with two against four! ]
[What do you mean by blood sucking, blood sucking! 】
【The blessing of Kayn players is here, get ready for the designer's big knife】
【The strength of Red Kayn is really amazing, with a Black Cleaver, he will squeeze into the crowded place. As long as the damage is enough, the health bar will not drop】
【Xingge and Maibo are really ruthless, they tore the underwear of Flash Wolves from shame, killing them from beginning to end】
【Xingge didn't have a single head before 10 minutes, and then he got 11 kills in the next 14 minutes. This kill acquisition speed is simply outrageous! 】
【Did anyone see Snake's amazing operation in the last team battle? Pushing Xingge to Betty's face, do you want to come to the mainland to find a job? Be the guide and give Xingge a big gift first, right】
【Wuling Hongguang! Flash Wolves 10% off water bottle? I want to roar! 】
【Okay, okay, I like this, the strong should humiliate the weak! 】
Gu Xing was quite happy to see it, but he couldn't laugh anymore when he looked up inadvertently.
SKT probably thought that 'the strong should humiliate the weak' and turned this game into a slaughter scene.
Li Xianghe's flying star is always on target. He hides behind the wall and keeps using R [Return Transition] to consume the health of EDG players!
Zoe in an advantageous game can only be said to be so terrifying.
You can't make a vision, and you can't defend against Zoe's super long-range flying star at all!
The members of Guodian hide under the tower and want to survive for a while, but in the end they all become wooden stakes for Faker to brush damage!
In this case, Scout and Meiko still want to stabilize, give up all the resource points, and wait for the key C position three-piece set to try to join the team.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that in this version, you can never stabilize it if you want to.
The little peanut who has been swallowing his anger since the beginning has stopped.
From ROX to Longzhu, his main feature is his temper!
When have you ever been so humiliated?
You gave up the tower, the jungle, and the dragon, why didn't you give up the crystal as well?
You can say I'm bad, but I've never been a coward in my life!
Xiaohuahua is not afraid of death and wants to take a piece of meat from SKT.
Of course, he certainly can't do it on his own.
Han Wanghu turned his attention to Langxing.
"How about you follow me and trade heads with the other side?"
The word order is very non-standard, but it doesn't matter. The best thing about Chinese is that you can still understand it if you turn it upside down.
Lang Xing nodded blankly, "Anything is OK, I can do it!"
Little Peanut took this answer as recognition for himself, and he immediately led the wolf line to charge towards SKT!
It is better to die standing than to lie down and be bullied!
Soon, Iboy joined in.
Although he has a lazy personality, he doesn't have much ambition.
But if you let Iboy lie down and wait for death, that is absolutely impossible.
It's more comfortable to finish the game quickly and go back to KFC than to suffer on the court!
The initiative of the three EDG players to start the war finally calmed down the tendency of the turtles to retreat blindly.
Even though SKT responded well and could often use their vision, combat power and numerical advantages to gain advantages in battles, Guodian still managed to get a few kills. Judging from the scene alone, they were much better than the Flash Wolves in the previous game.
Under the command of Lee Sang Hyuk, SKT still won the game in the end, but EDG replaced it with a dragon, two defense towers and a full 10 kills, which gave them a more or less bloody performance.
However, they were still not happy. The first thing they did when they returned to the lounge was to apologize to the other three LPL brother teams.
After all, this is the first loss for the LPL division in this continental competition.
"I made a mistake in this game," the junior student looked painful, lying on the chair and looking at the ceiling, "It would be great if I didn't get single-killed by the opponent..."
Everyone here knows that all subsequent chain reactions started from that two-and-a-half-minute solo kill in the middle!
Abu hated the iron, "What on earth are you doing? Have you got the same mental problem as Ming Kai?"
Guodian suffered its first defeat in the LPL, and he had just watched the entire process in the background. He didn't dare to answer the call and chat with other people. He just felt so embarrassed!
Gui Jiao Qi was enjoying the egg tarts in his hands - he was regarded as EDG's substitute in this intercontinental competition, but he made it clear that he had no chance to play and was just here for a trip, so he was extremely relaxed.
Suddenly, when he heard that Abu had touched him, his dead eyes trembled, and the egg tart in his hand almost fell to the ground.
What does it have to do with me?
Seeing that Abramovich, the de facto leader of the EDG competition and training department, was about to open the Bible again, Jin Yibo quickly signaled the other party to calm down.
After some persuasion, Abu finally stabilized his emotions, took out his mobile phone and reported the situation to Ed Zhu, "Hey boss..."
Little Peanut scratched his head, "Rucan, what on earth do you mean? Can you make such a low-level mistake?"
Scout's face was stiff, and after a long silence, he replied, "I just always wanted Dansha to be with Brother He, but in the end I missed a move."
Putting aside his Wuhan accent, his Chinese proficiency is not bad at all, and he can even use idioms flexibly.
But now no one cares about the younger brother's Chinese, they are all thinking about his answer.
"You have a mentality problem," Kuro hit the nail on the head, "It's just that when I met Xianghe, my feeling was exactly the opposite to yours. I just wanted to wait for my teammates to lead me to C, but later I found that I couldn't stand it at all."
In the semi-finals of the S7 World Championship, VG and SKT started a revenge battle. Li Ruixing realized that even if you just play, you will lose. He began to take the initiative to roam offline to play his role and provide his own role to the team. The result was also a happy three-match series. Zero Sweep, get rid of the inner demons of your career!
But the young Scout obviously hasn't understood this problem yet.
He looked unwilling, and he probably wanted to fight Lee Sang Hyuk online to the death next time they met.
When Gu Xing saw the expression on his younger brother's face, he knew that there was something wrong with his mentality and his thinking had fallen behind.
Faker's current personal competitive status is indeed declining.
But this guy's peak is too high.
Just put it this way, the peak of a normal star mid laner is 100 points, but Faker was able to raise his peak to more than 120 points back then!
SKT has been consistently strong in the mid lane all year round. Dade suffered greatly from this and had to move the duo of Imp and Mata to the mid lane to try to suppress Faker.
Just change the line like this, you can't suppress him, and your life will be in danger if you are not careful!
In those years, Faker was the tallest unit in the game. It was not uncommon to see solo kills at the first level and second level solo kills. If you look at him online, he will come up and fuck you!
Gu Xing can say without exaggeration, "Meeting Faker in the mid lane is like meeting me in the jungle."
On the other hand, Scout is quite strong. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first-line mid laner in the world.
But if you want to compare lanes with Faker, you have no idea about the AC count.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
When I was a junior in SKT, I couldn't even take away the rotation position of Marquis, so you still want to compete with Faker?
It's against you!
The more you want to kill Faker, the more you will expose your flaws and be caught by the old and strong Lee Sang Hyuk!
Seeing Scout's unrepentant appearance, Gu Xing firmly believed that it was just his operation that had a problem rather than an inappropriate strategy. He even felt that the next time they met, EDG would still lose to SKT because of the mid laner problem.
Hongmi was even more cunning, and he also noticed some clues on the face of the junior boy who couldn't hide his emotions at all.
"After today's game, let's have a small meeting of the coaching staff," he took the initiative to suggest, "to discuss the deployment of troops for the finals."
Homme didn't want EDG to meet SKT. As long as the two sides were separated, Guodian would most likely be able to perform normally.
"Wow, Hongmi, you are so confident?" Jack smiled, "You're starting to study the opponent of the finals in advance? The result hasn't come out yet!"
"Even if we only rank second in the group stage, it's nothing more than playing one more BO5," Hongmi was full of confidence, "We can't beat the LMS division, right?"
"That's true..." Jack nodded his big head and agreed.
But the facts proved that Yu Wenbo was overthinking.
RW's main axis appeared on the stage, facing the GEN team, the wolf king's anti-Korean blood awakened, and his early aggressive gank made the old man An dizzy!
Jin Taixiang had long been full of energy to perform well and serve the country with loyalty. After pushing the line, he went to the sideline.
Although the name of GEN has changed, its style has never changed.
They are afraid of fast-paced teams.
Don't wait for them to stabilize their position before launching an attack. GEN players who only know how to play a steady operation game can't stand it at all!
After RW took the advantage, the side effects of the true sea of eyes tactics were also eliminated.
GEN's jungle was all black, and they were blocked as many as they made. They had no possibility of launching a counterattack without knowing the vision information of the Xia team!
As Doinb's Galio controlled the crown with a brainless W flash from the shadow corner, RW launched a team battle!
The mid-lane Crown died suddenly, and he couldn't even give up his flash. The short-handed GEN had no ability to fight back and was pushed all the way by RW. Ruler could only watch his crystal explode in the fountain!
After the Xia team defeated GEN, the last big enemy of the LPL group stage was also eliminated.
They finally advanced to the finals with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss. Only EDG lost a small game, and their dominance was full!
LCK ranked second with 5 wins and 3 losses. Only SKT managed to save its reputation and win a victory in the match against LPL.
As for LMS, it highlighted an abstraction.
0 wins and 8 losses!
Until the end of the group stage, they still did not win their first victory in the region!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the gap between the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions and LPL and LCK is far more than one level. Before, they could rely on the anti-Han Qixia Flash Wolves to steal a few BO1s, but now even the Flash Wolves are lagging behind!
To put it bluntly, if the Flash Wolves were placed in the other two regions, they would not even know if they could enter the playoffs!
There was no extra rest time after the group stage, and it was a tight knockout match.
LCK vs. LMS.
There was no suspense, a pure pig-killing game.
The LCK coaching team headed by Edgar casually arranged the troops and did not take the LMS, which was in decline, seriously at all.
The total time of the three BO1 matches was only 84 minutes and 35 seconds, successfully breaking the record of the length of BO5 this year!
LCK won easily with overwhelming force, sweeping away LMS, which had not won a single game in the entire Intercontinental Championship, and heading to the final battle to challenge the LPL region!
