"Do you want to fly for a long time?"

Xiao Duan nervously asked Gu Xing beside him, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the seat belt in front of him.

Gu Xing thought for a moment and replied in the affirmative.

This is truly half a day.

It will take 12 hours for them to reach San Francisco on the other side of the ocean.

"This is my first time going abroad..." Duan Deliang was excited and a little uneasy.

"What a coincidence, so am I," Gu Xing also looked forward to it. "I heard that I'm going to be jet-lagged. How do you feel about it?"

"That feeling is quite unpleasant," Tian Ye, who has been there, imparts his experience to them. "If the World Championships hadn't been held in the United States, I would never want to experience it again."

Meiko traveled to the United States during the mid-season last year. Apart from the joy of winning the championship, what impressed him most was the painful feeling of jet lag.

The schedule for that tournament was extremely tight. It took a 12-hour flight to get there. After two days of delay, we would play for four consecutive days and finish the group stage to the finals!

I didn’t get over the jet lag in the field, and my brain almost turned into mush when I was hit in the back, and I still have lingering fears.

"Hello, brothers!" Xiaohu's familiar drake voice sounded, and he appeared behind Gu Xing wearing a peaked cap, "Is the training match okay?"

Other RNG players filed in. The fat general in the back row stood up with difficulty and greeted his old teammates Looper and Mata.

"It's okay," Gu Xing answered ambiguously, "It's about the same as the previous summer games."

Since VG was still in the Shanghai market before, the teams that were scheduled to play were all from the LPL and LCK divisions, and occasionally the Flash Wolves from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan came to join in the fun.

Only SKT in the same group has not played in training games, and the other teams often have appointments.

Gu Xing feels that the changes to the World Championship version will not have a great impact on VG.

At least using the strong teams in East Asia as the reference group, that’s how it feels.

VG and the Tigers played a total of four training matches, and overall the results were evenly matched.

Fifty-five open.

You know, this is the new champion of the LCK Summer Split, and being able to do so is enough to prove the strength of VG!

Gu Xing always felt that this trip to the United States would not be as miserable as last year's World Championship.

He believed that when the dark night came to an end, there would always be some light of hope.

"Then you are pretty good," Xiaohu sighed and laughed at himself, "Our situation is not that optimistic."

RNG is currently still debating whether to keep Lu Uzi or continue to link up with junglers, and there is no clear conclusion from the discussion.

Even the training matches were distracted by this, and the effect was very average.

Gu Xing was helpless and could only offer a few words of comfort.

Before the flight took off, he sat in his seat and scrolled through his phone.

The family and girlfriend knew that VG was leaving for the United States today, and they gave them a lot of precautions.

Gu Xing agreed to report that he was safe when he arrived in San Francisco, and went to meet the Seven Wolves of Ionia for a while before looking through social media.

VG posted several Weibo posts today.

There are pictures of the training team leaving the base, as well as a group photo of all members at the airport surrounding the VG team flag.

In addition, there is a video clip of the players watching the draw ceremony.

Gu Xing clicked on it to fast forward the playback, mainly to observe himself and other teammates from another perspective.

It has to be said that Zhu Xiaolong, who is usually known for his maturity and stability, howled in despair when he saw the death team, was indeed very effective in the show.

At the bottom of Weibo, some netizens posted similar videos of other teams, including the performance of SKT players when they witnessed the lottery results.

Gu Xing was very interested and wanted to see the reaction of the double champion.

At the beginning of the video, when the team for the No. 1 pool was being drawn, the SKT members had calm expressions.

Only Wolf on the screen is asking his teammates, and Chinese subtitles are displayed below, "Which team do you want to go to?"

Bang answered without hesitation, "Flash Wolf is in Group C..."

He explained his reasons, "I was very unwilling to be defeated by the Flash Wolves in the MSI group stage this year. If we meet again this time, there is a reason why we have to win."

Flash Wolf is now dubbed the ‘Anti-Korean Hero’ by many viewers.

They often defeated the Korean team in the BO1 group stage, and their winning rate was extremely high.

Bang is obviously very confident in the overall strength of himself and his team, and he must take revenge!

Wolf Li Zaiwan muttered in a low voice, "I would like to draw VG, which has Brother Zhixun... It's a pity that LGD didn't come to the World Championship, otherwise we could still meet Brother Qinghuan."

2015 was a turning point in his career.

In the mid-season finals, in a five-game fierce battle with EDG, Wolf died 25 times.

At that time, he was criticized by netizens as SKT's breakthrough. Later, he worked hard and had a wonderful performance in the World Championship.

Li Zaiwan misses the time when everyone worked hard to improve for the same goal. Naturally, he also misses his old S5 teammates such as Hou Ye and Marin.

When Smile drew SKT into Group A, Wolf's fat body was jumping up and down with excitement.

"Brother Zhixun, I'm coming!"

He didn't seem to care at all about the strength gap between the teams in Pool 1.

After a comeback in the group stage of this year's mid-season tournament, Lee Jae-wan believes that SKT is currently the strongest team in the world.

Even though they were beaten by KT in the LCK summer semifinals, it didn't dampen Wolf's confidence.

KT, you can't even enter the global finals, you are just a younger brother among younger brothers!

The World Championship is where LCK takes the cake.

Non-Korean regions were not included in their list of contenders for the championship at all.

Blank is quite simple, with bright eyes, which are even more conspicuous under his dark skin. "Brother Zhixun and brother Shengbin, wow, they are both seniors..."

VG’s double C’s all debuted in S2.

In South Korea, a country where seniority is extremely serious, the seniority of Marquis and Imp is higher than that of Lee Sang Hyuk!

Although Goo Sung Bin has criticized a lot of people in Korea and is very unpopular.

But the rules should still be followed.

"There is also Virtue player," Xiao Hei smiled and his teeth were exceptionally white. "I want to get close to him. I heard that he has a very easy to get along with."

Blank had previously learned about Gu Xing from his old friend Mala Xiangguo.

There were not many training matches between the two, but Xiao Hei had seen Gu Xing's strength and respected him very much.

Kkoma's expression was calm and relaxed, and he was also not worried about his group draw.

In his opinion, the ones who should be afraid are the teams drawn into the same group as SKT.

"I heard that Sang Hyuk and Virtue have a good relationship?" Kkoma looked at Lee Sang Hyuk.

Gu Xing saw Faker in the video and thought about it for a moment before commenting on him, "...it's okay. After all, we haven't met in person. We just got along better in the qualifying matches."

Wolf was still thinking in disappointment, "But if I'm in the same group as VG, doesn't it mean I won't be able to meet EDG?"

He is also planning to have a try with EDG.

One is to avenge the loss in the mid-season tournament that year.

The two teams had met before in the group stage of the S5 World Championship, and SKT, which was at its peak, defeated EDG twice, but Wolf was not satisfied!

We beat us once in the finals, and only got two BO1s. If this was written off, Li Zaiwan would always feel angry.

At least one more double kill in the group stage!

Second, there is Scout in EDG.

As a junior boy, he is the favorite of the SKT team, and several of his older brothers are very close to him.

It would be great if we could meet and teach Scout a lesson on the field!

"Before Rucan left, he blocked the toilet in the dormitory with takeaway rice cakes. It's really yours!" Wolf gritted his teeth thinking of this, "Do you think it's safe to go to LPL?"

"When we meet, I will definitely not have any juice for you!"

SKT is very popular in China. As the double champions, they are definitely the team from the outer division that is most familiar to LPL audiences.

This video about the lottery ceremony also has thousands of comments.

Gu Xing browsed briefly, wanting to see what good things the high-like netizens could do.

[@EDG Esports Club, come in and see the good things you do alone at home]

[Faker actually has a good relationship with Virtue? 】

[I just watched the live broadcast replay of Faker and Xiao Gu’s friend on the Internet. Is it possible that there is a secret between these two that is not known to the public? 】

[It’s normal. Now I wonder if there are any professional players who have a bad relationship with Xiao Gu...]

Gu Xing heard the captain's announcement and honestly turned off his cell phone and put it away.
To be continued...
