The evening of October 1, San Francisco local time.

Gu Xing opened the curtains in the training room and took a look at the sky. He found that the dark clouds there were extremely gloomy, as if they had completely enveloped the entire city, and there was very little sunlight.

Boss Ding Jun opened the door and walked in, holding several black umbrellas as dark as the sky in his hand, "Bring two more when you leave, so you don't get wet..."

Jin Wenhyuk, who was sorting out the team's admission documents, quickly stood up and put away his umbrella.

Today's VG game is the last one, and they can wait until 7pm to go to the Municipal Auditorium.

Hongmi is still reviewing the details of last night’s training match with Mr. Hou.

Manager Lu Wenjun stared at the live game on his monitor.

On the third match day, the battle between European and American enemies C9 and G2 in Group A is currently ongoing.

Now it seems that C9 has a big advantage.

Zven's condition in the G2 bottom lane was very average. Only 12 minutes into the game, he was pushed by his opponent Sneaky for a blood tower!

Perkz, the absolute core of the team, did not get any advantage when facing Jensen.

Losing the game seems to be a natural thing.

The moment the base was shattered, all members of G2 raised their crotches and made a praising face without saying a word.

Even though they are nicknamed the European Optimistic Family, they cannot withstand their three consecutive defeats at the beginning!

Unless there is a sudden explosion in the second round of the group stage, the other three teams in the same group will have to cooperate very well to have the possibility of competing for qualifying spots in the playoffs!

The next game is a battle of focus.

RNG vs. ROX.

Group B, where the two teams belong, had a truce on the first day of the opening, so this is only their second group match.

Both sides had won a victory before, but RNG was obviously more difficult.

They have not yet discussed a reasonable plan to solve the problem of tactical focus.

And I don’t know if Xiaohu is just acclimated to the local environment. After arriving in San Francisco, his competitive level immediately dropped several levels, and he was crushed under the tower by Kuro.

Looper on the top lane endured strong pressure from Smeb, the top player in this world championship, but struggled to maintain a balance in the lane.

Today's Xiang Guo is even more lost when facing Xiao Peanut.

The violent style of play that he was proud of was like a boat under the offensive frenzy set off by Peanut, and he couldn't find a way to counterattack!

RNG's final bottom lane combination couldn't stand up.

Uzi and Mata have only been getting along for half a year, and their tacit understanding is not as good as that of the ROX duo. Not to mention that the two Xuan Ming duo on the opposite side are also at their peak, and they use softness to overcome hardness without giving any chance!

Fifteen minutes into the game, RNG was 4,000 behind in economy, and the snowball was still getting bigger and bigger.

"Let's go, let's hurry up, brothers," Vincent came in and urged, "If anyone wants to have dinner, come to me!"

Several starting members waved their hands and refused.

Jack and World Girl are welcome to come.

In the first round of the group stage, only one game was played every day. The two of them were destined to not be able to play. There was no need to starve themselves. They grabbed the Mexican tacos that Vincent bought and stuffed them into their mouths.

Mr. Hou ate a banana to maintain his strength. He turned his head to look at Gu Xing and found that his jungler was breaking dark chocolate.

"Do you want it?" Gu Xing handed over a piece of Domori, which Thomason bought in the supermarket in San Francisco.

Easyhoon hesitated a little.

Then I heard the other person add, "It contains flavanols, which can appropriately speed up the blood flow in the brain and help you stay focused."

When Li Zhixun heard this, he no longer refused. After thanking him, he stuffed it into his mouth, letting the slightly astringent and mellow feeling spread in his mouth.

Ju Shengbin was very greedy and ran up to ask for a piece.

It can only be said that there is a reason why he chose Twitch as the champion skin. His eating movements are very similar to those of a rat. He grabs a small piece of black chocolate with both hands and pops it into his mouth.

Gu Xing saw that his teammates were very interested, so he simply divided the black and white skills.

Everyone packed their backpacks and filed out and took the elevator to the hotel lobby downstairs.

As a result, I happened to have a meeting with the SKT training department.

The head coach Kkoma wears a neat suit and a warm smile on his face. His face is elegant and easy-going, and he has the maturity and stability of a middle-aged man.

Just a little short in height.

"Good evening everyone," he greeted the members of the VG training department in English with a Korean accent, and then looked at Easyhoon, "Long time no see, Jihoon."

Li Zhixun glanced at the SKT players across from him, and among them were his familiar partners and friends.

He responded in a low voice, and after a brief exchange of greetings, he huddled in the corner and stopped talking.

Imp, on the other hand, raised a smile and yelled in Chinese at Bang, "Why don't you call me brother if you bring me a basket?"

Ju Shengbin is very familiar with him.

Compared with last year's World Championships, Bae Junzhi is much slimmer, and his face is smaller, which makes his thick eyebrows and big eyes even more prominent.

"Lanzi?" He frowned, showing a confused expression, "Brother Shengbin, what does this mean?"

Ju Shengbin reacted quickly and said, "I mean to praise you for playing well. The LPL's saying is similar to our '?? (Dafa)'."

Bae Junzhi showed an expression of sudden realization.

His knowledge of Chinese is quite shallow, and he is limited to common expressions such as hello and thank you.

Bang doesn't understand a dialect like "basket" at all.

After hearing Gu Shengbin's explanation, he immediately pointed to Faker and Wolf, who were close to him, and imitated the pronunciation, "Basket basket!"

Yu Wenbo hid behind Gu Xing, covering his mouth for fear of laughing out loud.

He is half a head shorter than Gu Xing.

Half of Jack's head.

Now Yu Wenbo's body was twitching, and the sides of his head were exposed from behind Gu Xing's neck, shaking around quite a bit comically.

Brother Long and others couldn't help but laugh.

The chat between Gu Shengbin and Bang diluted the calm, awkward and weird atmosphere between the two parties.

Blank Xiaohei chatted with Gu Xing for a while, and the two teams said goodbye at the door of the hotel. It was already raining lightly in the sky.

Gu Xing opened the black umbrella in his hand.

"Good guy," Yu Wenbo looked at it for a moment and said casually, "This umbrella is really big."

Gu Xing also followed Jack's gaze and found that the black umbrella could completely cover their bodies, "Mr. Que, I don't know where Boss Ding found it..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

I saw a bald head appearing in front of me!

Under the dim sky, with only street lights around to provide lighting, the shiny bald head brings great visual impact!

"Wow..." Yu Wenbo's eyes widened and he subconsciously rubbed his thick black hair.

Gu Xing was also doing the same action.

The bald man in front is wearing a team uniform, with Forg1ven's ID printed on the back of his neck.

Sure enough, it was H2K's bottom shooter Ou Tu.

Among all the 16 participating teams, he is the only one with particularly thin hair.

There is still a little residue near the temples, and the scalp is exposed directly from the top of the Tianling Cap.

The key point is that Forg1ven's head is quite pointed, like an egg with the top peeled off.

"This is really the Mediterranean," Yu Wenbo huddled under an umbrella and complained in a low voice, "Why are you bald at such a young age?"

Gu Xing answered, "I heard that Forg1ven is a Greek, and her Mediterranean hairstyle is also suitable for Sister Li..."

However, he felt that it was not good to talk about others behind their backs, so he did not say any more.

Yu Wenbo suddenly muttered, "Did he work as a programmer before?"

An idea flashed in Gu Xing's mind.

He used the hand that was not holding the umbrella to quickly jump on the keyboard of his mobile phone, "You won't be bald after you learn computers, right?"

It was morning in China on the other side of the ocean. Gu Pan quickly replied with a question mark, and then added a message, [Gu Pan, if you want to find something, you can just say it]

As they walked into the municipal auditorium, the brother and sister chatted on the phone.

Ever since Gu Xing arrived in San Francisco, he had not communicated much with Gu Pan. He basically only communicated with his girlfriend occasionally during video calls.

Early this morning when he was chatting with Shen Guanshan, he found that Gu Pan was not there. When he asked, he found out that his sister had participated in many clubs and was busy during the National Day holiday, wandering around Peking University.

Gu Xing believed that it was necessary for him to give appropriate care and remind him of some necessary matters.

"Oh, I know, you're almost 19, do you think you're my child?" Gu Pan kept it in his mind and still kept the harsh words, and then chose to change the subject, "Don't you have a competition today, do you still have time to chat with me?

"

"We haven't entered the venue yet, and there's nothing going on on the way." Gu Xing stepped over the puddle in front of the backstage passage of the Municipal Auditorium, closed his umbrella while not forgetting to give the short-legged Jack a hand, "I'll hang up later."

"Oh..." Gu Pan fell into silence.

It wasn't until Gu Xing thought there was something wrong with the signal that he heard the other party say dryly, "Perform well today. You have already performed very well in the first two games of the World Championship. You are no worse than your opponent, so don't underestimate yourself."

Gu Pan knows what kind of opponent VG will face today.

I also know that Gu Xing's career has been going smoothly up to now and he has not suffered any setbacks.

She was also worried that her brother's mentality would be affected if he lost the game.
