766: The Last Dance!
"One to zero!" Drakos shouted loudly on the English commentary platform, "VG won the first game, and once again showed the miracle of defeating blue with red!"
"We are only two games away from the three consecutive championships!"
His partner Vedius smiled, "I have to say that Kuro's use of Galio to play Akali is a great move. In the laning phase, he can use the taunt of Durand's Shield to break the enemy's smoke bomb invisibility. In the team battle, he intercepted Akali in the air with a justice punch and successfully covered his teammates!"
If it were other heroes, it would be fine if they were invisibly broken or blocked from advancing in team battles.
But IG used Akali!
This character can't play much role if she doesn't rush in!
You can't let her play in the front row, right?
To put it bluntly, Akali rushed in to open the smoke bomb and was taunted to break the invisibility, and ER rushed in and was picked up by Galio. The hero is no different from being useless!
"Especially the last teamfight," Vedius praised, "Galio's step back with a bit of foresight directly knocked Akali down!"
"If it weren't for Kuro's timely control to prevent Rookie from rushing to kill Virtue, Kindred would have been killed instantly by Akali!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the prompt message given by the director on the broadcast screen.
"With the dust settling on this game, Smeb, Virtue, Kuro, Jackeylove and Caveman ushered in their own five-man team 200 wins!"
Drakos said loudly.
"Unprecedented achievement, this is the five-man team with the most wins in the history of League of Legends!"
The director gave detailed ranking data.
Below the SVKJC five-man team is the 2013-2014 SKT first generation five-man team and the 2015-2016 spring EDG.
Several teams have maintained their lineup integrity for nearly two years, and the total number of games played is almost the same as VG, but there is a big gap in the number of wins, which is enough to prove the powerful strength of the five-member team of VG!
"It is worthy of being a dynasty," Vedius has long been convinced, "The 9% win rate of the five-member team is really shocking!"
In addition to the win rate and total wins, specific honors are also listed next to the makeup photos of the five VG members.
2017 LPL Spring and Summer Championships, MSI Champion, Intercontinental Championship Champion, Global Finals Champion;
2018 LPL Spring Championship, MSI Champion...
There has never been a runner-up along the way, all championship titles, and the dominance is obvious!
The chat channel of the Rat Station is noisy.
[9% win rate? I heard that someone in the CN server in the far east specially formed a group to make the win rate look better... VG is their ancestor, right? ]
[Actually, it was mainly Virtue who was amazing. He was able to push up his win rate with other teammates in S6]
[Hahaha, G2 is still very strong after all. At least they beat Kuro in the semifinals and didn't get shaved bald. Otherwise, we would have become the background! ]
[In my opinion, IG is not very strong either. They don't have much ability to fight back against VG]
[Sister Li is like this. IG is not worth mentioning. They were just lucky to meet 3 LCK teams along the way to help them advance. If they met G2 in the semifinals, IG would have lost the game and gone home! ]
[Could it be that... G2 is not only the third place, but the second place in terms of strength? ]
In the intervals between the heated discussions of the European and American audiences, the players of the two teams on the stage also left the soundproof room and rushed back to the backstage.
Kuro also knew what milestone his victory had unlocked, and his smile was particularly bright.
Before leaving the stage, he turned his head and looked back. The noisy waves on the four sides of the Wenhe Stadium's stands all flooded into his ears, and the dotted light signs looked like stars.
Yicun, who was guarding the entrance to the backstage passage, raised his camera and filmed this scene.
When Li Ruixing, dressed in white, looked back, the spotlight on the stage dome just fell on his head, exposing the word "Kuro" printed on the back collar in the light and shadow, and lighting up a pair of eyes, revealing all the emotions originally hidden in the darkness.
The composition and artistic conception are top-notch.
Li Ruixing stretched out his hands and shook them, then bowed slightly to the audience to thank them, as if he was saying goodbye.
Gu Xing was following him with a paper cup in his hand, constantly reviewing the first match in his mind, trying to find problems that could be improved.
He saw Kuro's reaction and didn't say anything more, just patted his own mid laner on the shoulder.
Before the game officially started, Gu Xing already knew the opponent's plan.
Back in the backstage team lounge, Kuro cheered for Chao Wei, "Play well in the next game, don't be nervous!"
Hongmi still didn't give up and asked for the players' opinions, "Rui Xing, are you really not going to play another game?"
In the final preparation meeting, Kuro took the initiative to propose to play only one game and give the remaining games to Chao Wei.
In other words, the first game that just ended was his last dance in the professional arena.
"Is it okay?" Li Ruixing smiled carefreely, "In this game, I was able to play because I needed a hero to counter Akali on the red side. What role can I play in the next game if I run to the blue side?"
Now in terms of operational level, he is inferior to Chaowei when his strength is declining. The hero pool also has flaws. If the most powerful card in his hand is used up, it is better to retreat and run away quickly.
"If I lose the game, I'm afraid of dragging you down," he scratched his head. "Besides, I think the last battle before retirement should end in victory."
"It would be a huge disappointment if I had to say goodbye to the professional arena with a loss."
"Besides, I have no regrets... As long as everyone can win the championship, I think my entire career will be complete." Kuro smiled brightly, with a pair of dimples on his round face.
When he offered to go to the bench at the beginning of the summer season, Li Ruixing was still in a tangled state and couldn't extricate himself.
But now, the five-man team working together has won 200 wins. He has also used his own way to help the team win in several heavyweight BO5 games in the World Championship. Kuro has found his own value and feels that there is no more hope in his career. defect.
Looking at the TV screen in the room, the MVP candidates for the first game were being played on it. Gu Xing looked confident in the makeup photo, and Qian Jue beside him was holding a long bow and getting ready to go.
Battle damage ratio of 8/0/6, team damage ratio of 3%, opponent economic lead +1998...
All the statistics are quite amazing, and among them the number of casualties is the most astonishing.
0!
It must be said that the opponent IG has got a bunch of heroes with protruding faces, and even the shooter Kai'Sa can prod into Kindred's face!
It is incredible to achieve zero casualties with such a lineup!
Gu Xing followed Kuro's gaze, as if he guessed what the other person was thinking, and offered an explanation.
"Being able to survive once and become a god is definitely not only due to me, but you, Rui Xing, are the key," Gu Xing added with a smile, "If I were a judge, I would give you the MVP."
Li Ruixing shook his head, "Don't make trouble, I think this is good."
Along the way from ROX, he has long been accustomed to hiding his fame and achievements and quietly giving everything to the team.
At first, it was a helpless move due to lack of strength, but later he enjoyed a similar Green Leaf style of play. If the MVP was awarded to himself, Li Ruixing would be truly frightened.
"It's okay. After the fight today, my buddy will come down to accompany you!" Song Jinghao comforted his teammates, still squinting his eyes habitually when he smiled.
"Get out of here and get ready to win the championship, otherwise don't come back to see me!" Kuro pushed his old friend and joked with Song Jinghao.
Boss Ding Jun also came backstage during the break and gave Kuro a warm hug, "Ruixing, think carefully about what you are going to do after you retire. If I can be useful, I will go all out to help you." !”
Li Ruixing was overjoyed when he heard the words 'go all out'.
Yu Wenbo also burst out laughing, his fair face turning red, as if Rambo was passive.
The double Cs in the team took the lead, making the VG training department fall into a sea of joy.
Ding Jun didn't know why. He stayed in the audience and sat next to Wang Sicong during the game, so that he could start taunting when VG gained the advantage.
So much so that he didn't know the content of the team's voice. At this moment, when he saw everyone in the team bursting out in joy, he couldn't help but laugh gregariously.
Hongmi saw that Kuro had made up his mind that he really didn't plan to play again, so he refocused his attention and explained the tactical arrangements for the next game to Chaowei.
Li Zhixun didn't need an interpreter, so he didn't listen carefully. He stood on the edge of the lounge and looked at Kuro, who was smiling and chatting with Jack.
Also on the World Championship stage, the substitute mid laner is also allowed to appear after winning a game...
Easyhoon was filled with emotions.
To be fair, the moment he used the yellow chicken to launch the Forbidden Wall towards Faker in the S6 World Championship, he felt relieved about that rotation.
But now seeing the harmonious atmosphere between Kuro and all members of VG from top to bottom, it is obviously unrealistic to not be touched at all.
"VG players, get ready, you will be on stage soon!" Vincent knocked on the door in the corridor to remind.
Gu Xing took the paper cup from the team leader and urged Chaowei, "Blue Cat, hurry up!"
"Come on, come on!" Chovy ran back from the bathroom, his chest heaving violently and his expression extremely excited.
Dear folks in my hometown, I, Zheng Zhixun, am back!
He walked onto the stage with his head held high.
The sound of fluorescent sticks clicking against each other in Incheon Munhak Stadium made Chaowei extremely intoxicated, and the soles of his feet felt fluttering.
When Zheng Zhixun saw his relatives and friends in the front row who came to support him, he immediately bared his teeth and showed an innocent smile.
Just wait and see if I can smash IG and it will be over!
It can only be said that dreams are very full and reality is very skinny.
Chaowei's results in the first game of the final were not ideal.
Being on the blue side, the team still grabs the Sword Demon first, trying to limit TheShy's role in team battles.
This resulted in Chovy himself having to choose the Enchantress after the ball girl was taken away by the enemy.
In this head-to-head confrontation between the two mid laners, Zheng Zhixun was defeated miserably.
Song Yijin's proficiency with Syndra is definitely one of the best in today's League of Legends circle.
However, the Enchantress used by Chaowei is also Rookie's unique skill!
Knowing yourself and your enemy, Song Yi doesn't even know how to lose this battle!
And after the defeat in the previous game, Broiler obviously had a fire in his heart with nowhere to vent.
He poured out all the anger he had accumulated towards Zheng Zhixun!
In just 10 minutes, Chaowei was suppressed by 15 knives!
You must know that laning is Chovy's unique skill. Being pressed by the knife will undoubtedly stab him hard in the heart!
It would be fine if Song Yijin didn't wander around to put pressure on the wing, but Broiler is the best carrier of the hunger strike style of mid lane. After getting the advantage, he will not rely on the lane, but will go there non-stop. The wild area is looking for trouble with Gu Xing.
IG was able to quickly roll the snowball, fully displaying their violent and bloody side, allowing millions of netizens around the world to realize their ferocious side!
In just 24 minutes, the Extreme Team tied the score in the next game with a head count of 18:6!
"Ah..." Chovy couldn't help but wailed as he stepped off the stage and returned to the lounge, covering his face with regret.
After playing like this in the first game in his hometown of Incheon, Zheng Zhixun felt that he was ashamed of his hometown elders.
More importantly, I'm sorry for my teammates!
In the first game, the team defeated the blue with red, which was considered as regaining the right to choose sides that they had lost in the previous coin betting session.
But when he came on the field, the advantage was given back!
Chaowei didn't dare to look up at the TV screen, because he knew that the MVP selection interface played on it must have Song Yijin's final makeup photo.
"How do you say that?" Jack put his hands behind his head and said with a teasing smile, "He speaks loudly before the game, talks nonsense during the game, and is silent after the game..."
Yu Wenbo had good intentions and wanted to ease the negative team atmosphere, but in Gu Xing's opinion, this was not suitable for Chaowei.
Regardless of whether he uses a joking tone or not, Zheng Zhixun has such a personality. If you take it to heart after hearing it, you will become more self-blame, and in the end it will become a heavy burden on your shoulders.
"Okay," he tried to dissuade him, "it's not entirely the Blue Cat's fault. Rookie's strength this year is obvious to all, and it's not unusual to lose to Lao Song."
Kuro immediately helped, "Gu Gu is right. I was able to play Rookie in the last game, and I took advantage of the hero's matchup. If I really want to go up and play a blood-licking hero like Enchantress vs. Syndra, I guess I will." He was beaten even worse."
Akali's fight against Galio was simply to go to jail, and there was no difference between taking the initiative and being dead. Li Ruixing played his own unique skill, occupying the information gap of the character's restraint, so that he could barely suppress the broiler.
It is no exaggeration to say that purely in terms of operational skills, Song Yijin is the only mid laner in this World Championship. It is difficult to take advantage without using some insidious tricks!
Song Jinghao also patted Chaowei's back gently to comfort him, "Don't take it too seriously. It's just a loss. It's not a big problem."
Gu Xingze made some suggestions, "We are on the red side in the next game. Why don't we raise the priority of Blue Cat's BP, ban the opposite Enchantress, and then let Chaowei try to play Syndra."
No matter how you play the matchup between Enchantress and Syndra, Song Yijin has the advantage. This is the most buggy point and the reason why it is difficult for IG to restrict it in the current version.
As long as the situation in the middle can be opened up, it can make a great contribution to the team situation!
"But if IG sends Galio to the ban position, we will have to block all Akali and Enchantress, plus Ning's Green Steel Shadow... What will Sword Demon do?" Hong Mi frowned. .
Gu Xing spoke briskly and answered fluently, "Let TheShy choose first, and I will find a way to deal with it."
Yin Chengrong was about to say that the solution Gu Xing suggested during the pre-game meeting didn't seem to be this way, but when he saw his persistence, he had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
When Chaowei saw the exchange between the two ended, he added, "Wait a minute... Do I want to use Syndra in the next game?"
He is still not confident about his Syndra, after all, he has never used it in an official game before.
"Yes," Gu Xing nodded. Seeing that Chovy was worried and very uneasy, he comforted him, "Don't be too nervous. Think about how much energy you put into training Syndra before the game."
"If you don't dare to use it on this kind of stage, then why are you training her?"
Zheng Zhixun couldn't help but recall the countless days and nights before the game when he practiced tirelessly and frantically in qualifying matches to defeat Syndra, and he felt very unwilling to do so.
Hero B is so difficult to train, and my winning points in the Korean server have been reduced a lot, otherwise I would have already scored 2,000 points!
Brother Xing is right!
If I don't use it, wouldn't his training be in vain?
Fuck her!
Zheng Zhixun is young after all, and he can't hide anything on his face. When his heart is racing, his originally harmless expression turns into something ferocious.
Hongmi was very satisfied with Chaowei's reaction, "Jiu, put down all your baggage and show your best performance on the court. Success or failure will depend on this one!"
At the same time, the Wenhe Stadium was already brightly lit.
It was late autumn, and the sunset was relatively early. After two games in Incheon, it was already dusk, and the only way to let people in the open-air stadium see everything on the stage was through lighting facilities.
After the sun goes down, the power of the cold wind increases significantly by an order of magnitude.
Wang Sicong wrapped himself tightly in his green military coat, grabbed a hot dog and put it in his mouth. While eating, he taunted, "Ding Jun, is this your dynasty team?"
"Incomparable!"
"What prince is so powerful? In front of Rookie, he is like a younger brother," he glanced at Ding Jun. "Listen to my advice, if you want to compete, just bring Kuro on, otherwise there will be two more finals. It’s about to end!”
Ding Jun's face turned red and white, he was very embarrassed, and he was not sure whether VG could win the game, but he was still very stubborn.
"Since you said that the finals will end in two more games, then I have to give the players a death order and must meet your requirements, so that you, Boss Wang, will not continue to suffer from the cold here!"
Wang Sicong sneered, "I really don't know where your confidence comes from."
Gu Pan, who was sitting behind the bosses, was also shivering. It was useless to hold the hot pack. He could breathe out cold air when he spoke, and he couldn't stop mumbling.
"Gu Yuqiu, Gu Yuqiu, if I catch a cold, you have to treat me to two more meals..."
After two years of studying in the north, Gu Pan still couldn't adapt to the early cold, and now he can only keep stamping his feet to keep warm.
"Don't worry, VG will win in two more games," Shen Guanshan smiled, "It will take less than an hour and a half at most."
"How do you know?" Gu Pan looked at her bestie with a look of as if she had seen a ghost, "Could it be that Gu Yiyu leaked some secrets to you?"
"Of course not, how could he tell me secrets like tactics?" Shen Guanshan shook his head.
Even if he kept his mouth shut, it wouldn't work, rules are rules.
"I mainly trust Gu Xing," Shen Guanshan vowed, "If he promised, he would definitely do it."
Gu Pan was speechless.
"Anyway, I don't think much of Chao Wei, this guy's mentality is really bad, always giving people a very empty feeling..." she muttered.
Not only did she think so, countless netizens in the LPL live broadcast room, that is, the VG fan base, also held similar opinions.
【Hongmi is really awesome, Kuro played well in the first game, why did you replace him? Now, you let Chao Wei go up to play mid, can he play? He doesn't have the ability, do you know! 】
【Chaowi is preparing to hold a retirement ceremony for Brother Xing, Mai Bo and Prince Duan! 】
【Do you like my Chaowei Blue Cat playing Ahri and being crushed by Syndra? This is our VG prince, who won’t change players even if he loses a game. Do you have such a prince? 】
【Chaowi’s filial son’s most boastful laning ability was crushed by Rouji, a pure school beauty! 】
【If Blue Cat is not good, then play Ice Girl Galio. It’s not shameful to admit defeat... Oh, you can’t, then it’s okay】
【VG fans are really crazy. They can make a good LPL civil war into a mess. These people should retire and get out of here quickly. Then we can live in peace】
【Haha, isn’t it time to expect VG to win the championship? Now you have created a glorious era for LPL and you start to complain about this and that. Without VG, can you show your face to LCK netizens? Dream on! 】
[Some people are like this, they are ridiculing VG's meritorious players. Even if they can't win three consecutive championships, at least they won't lose to foreign players until they retire. Those freshmen players that they like kneel down and act cowardly when they go to foreign games. They are so happy.]
Rouji sat in the player seat with great pride, looking at VG Chovy in the custom room, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up.
He was very angry after the first game, and wanted to get back at the second game, but he didn't expect Kuro to run away directly and replace him with the new player Chaowei to play with him.
Song Yijin then made a fatal move and educated Chaowei to a loss of mind!
Now he is refreshed, and seeing that the opponent still doesn't plan to replace Kuro, he is very happy this time.
Okay, okay, don't go down if you have the ability!
Although Rouji is a gentle and kind person outside the court, he is definitely a representative of fierce playing style in the court!
Ucal, the small mid laner of KT in the semi-finals, was educated by his forehand and backhand to the point that he doubted his life and wished he could go back to see a psychologist.
Song Yijin planned to give Chaowei a set meal.
"How many knives are you going to press in this game?" Lin Weixiang said cheerfully, and the gloom of losing the first game was swept away from his brows.
"I think 15 knives should be the starting point," Rookie, who was infected by someone, also began to pretend with a calm tone, "You two should also play a role, and try to hold back to let Wenbo develop!"
In the second game, the Xiangsong combination of IG did not beat VG in the laning phase. If it weren't for Song Yijin's backup, a wave of energy poured out in the mid-term team battle to send Jack to death, and he might really take over the game.
Before Lin Weixiang could reply, the referee in the back urged them, who were on the blue side, to start the game quickly.
With a sonorous and crisp sound, the BP panel appeared in front of everyone!
Jin Jingzhu opened his notebook, "Let's ban Galio first..."
Justice Colossus couldn't think of a better solution in a short time, so banning was the best way to deal with it.
In this way, IG can also force VG to ban Akali, the super model monster of the version.
As for the second ban position, Jin Jingzhu chose to block Rakan, not allowing VG, who was on the red side, to have the opportunity to get Xayah and Rakan.
He saw that the state of the Xiangsong combination was relatively average today, so he didn't plan to strengthen his own bottom lane.
Hongmi blocked Ahri first.
Song Yijin was happy, "The opponent's choice is interesting, and the ban position is restricted to death...Say, do we want to grab Aatrox?"
Benefiting from the power of TheShy's Aatrox in the previous few games, Jin Jingzhu tasted the sweetness and made a decision immediately, "If we want to grab it, we will take it directly as the first choice!"
"Continue to hold down Irelia, I think Chovy is very proficient." He commanded the team to ban the character.
Warrior heroes are definitely super powerful skills, and Rouji will not be so arrogant as to ignore this, after all, he suffered a loss in the summer finals.
After VG gave the last ban position to Shen in the first round, IG locked Aatrox in seconds.
And Redmi took both Syndra and Jayce!
"Syndra in the mid lane?" Song Yijin kneaded his knuckles, his attitude was very firm, "Give me Yasuo, I can beat him!"
You don't think that if you ban Ahri, you can develop steadily online, right?
No way!
Jin Jingzhu also thought that Happy Wind Man was a good choice, although it would make him look a little stupid to ban Irelia who was restrained by Yasuo in the first round, but at that time he didn't know that Chaowei would use Syndra to face Song Yijin under the premise of Ahri's loss in the second game.
Aren't you showing off your skills before an expert?
"Then the jungler will play Gragas again, just in time to cooperate with the linkage and make up some AP damage."
Ning Wang had no objection, and his Nuclear Bomb Beer Man could be called a signature hero.
VG got Kaisa in the shooter position in the third hand.
In the second round of BP, Hongmi sent Xia and Lucian to the ban position in turn, while Jin Jingzhu aimed at the support position, blocking the team-opening hard support of Titan and Minotaur, the pair of Kaisa.
Seeing this, Hongmi first locked the support Shen to quickly reach the small-scale battlefield.
"IG's choice is Tristana and Braum..." Miller judged, "Braum is indeed a very good choice. Together with Yasuo, it can effectively block the enemy Jayce's Poke consumption!"
"It all depends on VG's last choice!" Wawa was full of expectations, "I wonder what jungle hero Xingge will choose to face the barrel?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a character appeared in the VG hero selection box.
With a red mask on his eyes and a scorpion braid, his upper body is muscular, lean but powerful...
"Blind Monk!" Ji De blurted out, "Brother Xing once again used his champion skin and planned to use Lee Sin to win a victory for himself!"
"The skins of the S6 and S7 World Championships have appeared one after another. Brother Xing has great confidence in his signature hero on the most crucial final stage!"
The cheers in Wenhe Stadium were earth-shaking, and the chill of the 50,000 spectators on the scene was dispelled by this choice!
The anxiety in the LPL live broadcast room was no less than that of the scene, and the number of barrages increased several times!
[Turtle... S6 skin in the first game, S7 skin in the third game, could it be that VG will win again, is there a destiny in the dark? ]
[Get lost, you metaphysical person, why didn't you say anything in the second game? ]
[Really just choose your most signature one? It depends on whether Brother Xing's thighs are thick enough. It would be really funny if he can't carry Chao Wei.]
[Brother Xing's last dance is here, King Ning, you wait!]
[Rem, my family, just burn yourself and it's done!]
The players on both sides exchanged heroes and the lineup was officially determined.
Blue IG: Top Aatrox, Jungle Gragas, Mid Yasuo, Bottom Cannon + Braum.
Red VG: Top Jayce, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid Syndra, Bottom Kaisa + Shen.
Gu Xing closed his eyes to rest, and when he opened his eyes again, the canyon officially arrived!
"The opponent may come to counter-jungle," he gave a command, "Everyone be careful."
"Let the lower jungle area go?" Jack suggested excitedly, "Old Gu, go up there to exchange for the opponent's blue BUFF?"
Gu Xing pondered for a moment and held a different opinion, "No, I think the opponent is likely to come to the upper jungle area..."
"Upper jungle area?!" Duan Deliang was stunned.
According to common sense, the counter-jungle is to counter the lower jungle area, so that the duo can provide better help.
The upper jungle area is somewhat unconventional.
"Right," Gu Xing thought about it again in his mind, and was sure that his judgment would not be wrong. The signal mark was in the grass between the upper red zone and the dragon pit, and he spoke faster and urged, "Follow me, we will hide here!"
