050: Do you really know how to play League of Legends? (2-in-1 5700-word chapter)(1/2)
Gu Xing arrived at Hongqiao Railway Station at noon, and VG team leader and translator Jin Wenhe was waiting outside.
For the professional e-sports circle, most practitioners have just woken up at this time.
Jin Wenhe got up early and drove over half an hour to get here. He yawned and poured coffee into his mouth to refresh himself.
Gu Xing felt very embarrassed when he saw this scene, "Sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay. This is my job as a team leader. I have to do things after I get paid." Jin Wenhe didn't take it seriously. He fastened his seat belt and drove towards Songjiang University Town. "When you arrive at the base this afternoon, you can start immediately.
Training match.”
"So fast?!" Gu Xing was surprised, "Where's World 6?"
Jin Wenhyuk gave an explanation, "The summer split has started for two weeks now. VG has played three games, with 2 wins and 1 loss, which is not bad. However, World6's performance is relatively average. Whether it is official games or training games, it can't keep up.
Rhythm."
He appeared on the LPL stage in the summer of 2015. After Dandy returned to the jungle position at the beginning of 2016, he could only be transferred to the second team UP by the club and was not even allowed to play in the first team's training matches.
After finally waiting for UP to be relegated from the secondary league, World6 finally got a few LPL-level training games - that was because VG wanted to sell him to OMG and wanted the new owner to try the effect.
Who would have thought that the contract for this deal was on Ding Jun's desk, but in the end it failed because of the swap between Dandy and Imp.
World6 has not yet adjusted from the loose state of the second team, and has not yet adjusted well with its teammates. It will start a high-intensity LPL game, so its performance will naturally not be particularly outstanding.
But manager Lu Wenjun didn't want to wait any longer.
The VG League of Legends division’s salary investment this year is quite terrifying. Imp’s salary is among the highest in the entire league. Add in the expenses of Easyhoon, Redmi and others, and there is no doubt that it will break through the 10 million mark.
If his results in the summer split are average, he, Lu Wenjun, will be the first to bear the brunt.
He discussed it with Hongmi and decided to let Gu Xing give it a try. If he performed well, he would play directly.
"That's it..." Gu Xing has been busy with matters related to the college entrance examination and leaving Zhenhai during this period. He has not watched VG's recent games, so he doesn't know much about it.
Returning to Longhu Haowangshan, Jin Wenhe saw that some team members had not yet arrived at the training room, so he took Gu Xing to record the fingerprint lock first, so that he could enter and exit the base freely in the future.
"The dormitory is still the same as before. Now that Ding Ran is not here, you can live alone." Jin Wenhe led him upstairs. "There is no way. There are a total of 7 players in the training department of our first team. There must be someone who is alone in a room with two people."
, you came late, so I didn’t arrange a roommate for you..."
He was afraid that Gu Xing would be dissatisfied and think the team was exclusive.
"It's good, I just like living alone!" Gu Xing was overjoyed.
After living for eighteen years, he looked forward to having an entire house to himself.
I never expected that I would be able to realize this dream, both big and small, at the club.
After placing his backpack and suitcases, Gu Xing picked up the Philco Ferrari red and Logitech mouse on the table, and went downstairs to enter the training room.
"Lao Gu!" Yu Wenbo's angry voice sounded behind him, "I miss you so much!"
He also wanted to rub his friend's hair to show intimacy.
However, they found that there was an irreparable height gap between the two. If they wanted to touch the top of Gu Xing's head, their posture would be very awkward.
With no choice, Yu Wenbo had no choice but to give up.
"Congratulations, you're all in the LPL!" Gu Xing congratulated sincerely.
I heard Jin Wenhe mention this before on the way here.
VG faced OMG in the first game of the summer split. They first let Imp win a game to ensure the bottom, and then decisively replaced JackeyLove in the second game, allowing the newcomer to make his career debut.
Hearing this, Yu Wenbo was extremely happy, and even his tone became lighter, "So signing with VG is the right choice. If there are games to play, it will not be in vain for me to give up the live broadcast."
"Let me tell you, it's really cool to stand on the LPL stage." He couldn't rub Gu Xing's hair, so he simply patted Gu Xing's back.
Seeing his friend's puzzled expression, Yu Wenbo was very proud, "You will know when the time comes. The feeling... is incredible."
Gu Xing is still a newbie and can't understand what his friends mean.
Several VG members took their seats one after another, and he finally met imp.
When I first saw it, I felt guilty in my heart.
Is it possible that the S4 mouse champion skin is really made according to the imp model?
Especially the round glasses are the finishing touch!
"Hello, hello, I'm here..." Imp took the initiative to greet Gu Xing in Chinese, but he couldn't quite understand the second half of the sentence.
Fortunately, the next imp-specific translation section has been launched. He took over the role of Hirano Aya. After two weeks of getting along with each other, he could probably identify some daily expressions. He quickly said to Gu Xing, "He said he knows you!"
During the previous trial, Imp was deeply impressed by the two raids on Gao Dewei using wine barrels.
With a smile on his face, Gu Xing exchanged a few words with the other party.
Jack answered the conversation from time to time.
He likes Samsung White very much. This championship team gave him an extremely exaggerated impact in the enlightenment era. It was the first time he realized that the game could be played like this, which completely subverted his cognition.
This resulted in Yu Wenbo and imp getting along very harmoniously with each other even though they were in a nominal competitive relationship.
After World6 entered the training room, they also came to meet Gu Xing.
Nicknamed World Girl, he has a gentle temper and is easy to get along with. He has fair skin, clean facial features, and two small tiger teeth when he smiles.
Brother Long and Easyhoon were still discussing what to have for tonight's supper. It wasn't until Hongmi walked into the room and announced that horse racing training would begin that the noisy discussion gradually disappeared.
Gu Xing hasn't played a game in more than a week and is a little unfamiliar with the canyon. It would be okay if he plays in the ranked matches. It won't be stressful for him.
But facing professional teams, we really encountered some troubles.
In the early stages of the first game, he couldn't find much rhythm. Fortunately, he also knew that he had to slowly find his form, so he chose a male gun. Even if he was busy, it would still be useful if he delayed it until the later stages.
In the end, it lasted until 43 minutes and 30 seconds. Gu Xing's steady punishment took down the dragon. The male gun's explosive output helped VG win the team battle, and they finally made a difficult comeback and won!
Under normal circumstances, training matches rarely reach the late stages.
The ownership of Baron Nash in the first game can affect the outcome of the game. Many teams do not want to continue playing after losing the baron, so they simply start the next game quickly.
But in this Red Rice game, it could be seen that Gu Xing's touch had not yet recovered, so he was given a little more time, and the training match was not stopped even when a Baron was released first.
Seeing that VG didn't give up, the opponent could only continue to fight. After dragging and dragging, he was really overturned!
"Wow, I'm so tired..." When Imp saw the enemy type the word GG on the public screen, he slumped backwards on the e-sports chair, doing a truly international fallback.
He has gained a lot of roundness since coming to China, and now his lower abdomen is slightly bulging.
For the ADC, dealing with this late-game situation is very energy-consuming.
They must be constantly aware of their surroundings.
Except for Vayne, who can produce meat due to her skill characteristics, most shooters wear damage equipment to ensure output efficiency. Their bodies are very fragile, and they may be killed instantly if they are not careful.
Moreover, constantly moving A during a team fight will also put a lot of burden on your own hands, making it easy to get injured.
"In the early stage of this game, I was biased because my hands were a little raw, but it's okay. I'll be in good shape by the end of the game," Gu Xing did not forget to maintain good communication with his teammates. "I will choose an excavator later to capture more people.
Let the buddies have a good time!"
After getting the promise, imp felt as if he had eaten a sweet date, and suddenly became energetic, "Is it really fake?"
Gu Xing never deceives others.
In the second game, he took out Rek'Sai and captured the opponent's bottom lane 4 times in the first 15 minutes, successfully helping his ADC get three kills.
After Imp gained the kill economy, it was a natural progression for him to play Carry. He controlled Kalista to repeatedly jump across the Summoner's Rift, delivering explosive output in the mid-term team battle, and finally achieved a superb record of 9 kills and 0 deaths!
In the following training games, Gu Xing still stayed in the bottom lane to help the duo.
Imp, who went crazy during the training session, showed a happy smile.
He really wanted to say something right now!
VG management watched the entire training match this afternoon from behind the player seats.
"The performance is really good," Lu Wenjun praised. "The operation is good and the thinking is very clear. He is a natural talent."
Hongmi also agreed with him, "The style of play is indeed very smart. If you can learn it well, there is still a lot of room for improvement."
Aside from using the male gun to warm up his hand in the first game, Gu Xing has been planning around the bottom lane.
This is also the original intention of VG to exchange imp.
After dinner, Gu Xing originally wanted to go to the seat at the edge of the players' bench where he had tried out, but was stopped by Jin Wenhe.
"You can take Dandy's seat," he pointed at the empty machine next to Easyhoon, "and behave well tonight."
In some teams, there are unspoken rules for seating arrangements in the training room.
The starting members sit in one row, and the rest of the team fills in at the edge of the players' seats.
After this afternoon's training match, the VG coaching staff really wants him to come on the court and try out the results.
Gu Xing didn't know the truth yet, but he had some guesses in his mind.
After a set of training matches in the evening, his tense body relaxed.
The results of today's training match are written on the whiteboard behind him.
7 wins and 2 losses.
