541: The dark horse appears!(1/3)
Gu Xing bowed to the supporters in the stands and thanked him. After once again enjoying the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, he handed the microphone to Ren Dong and hurried back to the lounge.
There were many Shiquan and Tencent employees in the backstage passage. Seeing him walking quickly through the corridor, they all smiled and congratulated him.
VG successfully advanced to the finals, which is also a great joy for them.
After all, after a year of hard work, who doesn’t want to get more year-end bonuses?
The leader, Jin Yibo, stood at the door of the VG lounge to stop him.
"The fault is yours, Xiao Gu!" Bobby smiled brightly, his voice as high-pitched as ever, "Stable and reliable!"
Looking back, Jin Yibo felt that the most correct decision he made at the beginning of the year was to allocate resources to Gu Xing to enhance his reputation and momentum.
Referred to as the god-making movement.
This is not the first time Jin Yibo has engaged in similar behavior. The purpose is to set an industry benchmark for players similar to Faker for the LPL and serve as a role model for the competition region.
However, the beneficiaries of LPL's past god-making campaigns have not ended well. They often suffer from public opinion backlash due to fluctuations in competitive status and various off-field factors.
So much so that Jin Yibo often wondered if he had found the wrong person.
Gu Xing's success now proves Bobby's vision.
Jin Yibo's face kept smiling, and his heart was filled with joy.
Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with creating a god, the key depends on who the target is!
This time VG breaks into the Bird's Nest, at least they don't have to worry about the ratings of the finals. I don't know how much higher they are than the two LCK teams competing in the autumn split!
Gu Xing responded with a smile, "It's okay, I just performed normally, my teammates are the key..."
Before Jin Yibo left, he did not forget to encourage the other party, "Keep up the good work and strive to win the finals. I am waiting for your good news!"
Saying goodbye to the official person in charge of Tencent, Gu Xing was finally able to open the door and enter the lounge.
As a result, Jin Wenhyuk sprayed ribbons all over his face with a fireworks tube.
"Wuhu!" the team leader said with a proud smile, "We're in the finals!"
"This guy made you make trouble. Those who didn't know better thought he had already won the championship..." Gu Xing complained, "Brother Wenhe, don't be too arrogant."
"I know," Jin Wenhe nodded, "You can't open the champagne at halftime, but when you were interviewed, Xiao Gu, you said, 'No matter who the opponent is in the final, the result is a winner.' You can't have double standards!"
Gu Xing was speechless and could only let him go and take out his cell phone from his bag to reply to the congratulatory messages from relatives and friends.
Ding Jun was still discussing with the team members what to eat at night, while Vincent, who was sent by Riot Games to accompany the team to handle daily affairs, quickly asked members of the VG training department for ID documents to apply for the purchase of air tickets to the imperial capital.
There was a scene of joy and celebration in the lounge.
It was not until they received the notice of the group visit after the game that all the players got up and went to the designated rooms.
There is still a long black table, with the logos of the World Championship and major sponsors printed on the background board behind it.
Media reporters from all over the world have been waiting with guns and cannons raised for a long time. After the VG players filed into the room, the flashing lights never stopped.
"My first question is player Smeb. After today's semifinals, you were officially named the MVP player of this semifinal by Riot Games. How do you feel about this?"
Jia Jia, the original Tuwan employee who was tricked by Gu Pan into E as the head of the department, stood up and asked.
In the past six months, E has relied on its powerful database technology and integration capabilities to provide top-notch user experience to LPL audiences. Now it has become the leading domestic e-sports data website. It also has considerable influence in the media module. In terms of popularity, it is not much worse than Tuwan.
.
Jiajia is now very proud of herself, her website has a bright future, and she has been promoted in disguise, which is exactly what Gu Pan said after recruiting people to change jobs - she still has to thank us!
After listening to her question, Song Jinghao was very surprised. He obviously didn't expect that he could become the MVP of the series.
After pondering for a moment, he answered, "If you look at it from the data level alone, I think Que is the more outstanding one among his teammates, but I always think that data cannot reflect the full role of a player."
"The other four teammates and members of the coaching staff are all MVPs in my opinion," Song Jinghao said with full emotional intelligence in public. "Without their contribution, VG would not have been able to sweep the opponent 3-0."
"Especially Gu Gu," he looked at the jungler sitting next to him playing with the microphone, "from laning to team battles, he has provided a lot of help to the team, allowing me to open up the situation more calmly on the sideline and expand my advantage."
What Song Jinghao said was sincere.
How great Gu Xing's role is can only be seen clearly by being his teammate.
Smeb recalled what happened last season. At that time, the outside world thought that Gu Xing was just a wild core operator who acted as a thug in VG and was just an enhanced version of a peanut.
However, after Song Jinghao joined VG, he discovered the horror of Gu Xing.
The CPU performance is frighteningly strong, with classic dual-threading. While clearing the jungle, you can provide teammates with advice on how to deal with the troops.
Moreover, he is the best in the league in his judgment and analysis of the situation, and the command decisions he makes can often crush his opponents!
Although you may occasionally overturn and be caught off guard by the enemy's tricks, your adjustment speed is so fast that you can use your tactics to defeat your opponent!
Song Jinghao finally understood.
As a player in VG, you only need to do your own job well, and leave the rest to Gu Xing to think about and handle!
Therefore, there is basically no burden, and you can fully liberate your hard power without spending extra energy on other things!
When Gu Xing heard Song Jinghao's compliment, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth in relief.
He has a clear understanding of his own strength.
There is a saying that goes well - who doesn't want to fight with me?
Then the e-sports reporter from Saigao looked at Li Ruixing and said, "Player Kuro, this is your first time to win in a BO5 against SKT. Does it have any special meaning for you?"
Kuro composed words and sentences to organize the language, "Previously, SKT was a dark cloud hanging over my head. I have been called, for example, 'Faker's loser' and so on. I live in the shadow of Lee Sang Hyuk."
"Today's victory is very important to me. It's not just the feeling of satisfaction after getting revenge. I also hope that this BO5 game can be regarded as a watershed in my career. The first half was about finding myself in the confrontation with SKT.
The second half of the process is used to prove myself...I am who I am, Kuro, the mid laner from the VG team."
Gu Xing listened silently and applauded. To be fair, he was not the protagonist of today's post-game group interview.
First, many questions were raised by Ren Dong during the main stage interview, and second, the topic was all about the original ROX top and mid-level duo.
The grievances and hatreds that lasted for three full years will all disappear after the semi-finals.
Song Jinghao and Kuro no longer have to bear the name of SKT's dutiful sons, their ruthless sweep is enough to prove everything!
The e-sports media were like sharks smelling blood, swarming in and asking questions at the two.
Gu Xing was idle for a while, and then he saw reporter Tuwan looking at him.
"How do Virtue players evaluate Blank, their opponent in this semifinal?"
He thought for a moment and then answered while holding the microphone, "Well... this is Xiao Hei's first real season, I think his performance is pretty good."
"Although the handling of some details is relatively immature, there are also some things worth mentioning..."
"Overall, the future is promising, and I hope we can have the opportunity to compete again in the future."
The personal relationship between Gu Xing and Xiao Hei is okay. After winning the game, there is no need to humiliate each other. It is reasonable to adopt the argument of high emotional intelligence.
But when Jack heard the words 'the future is promising', he suddenly lowered his head and started laughing crazily, almost dying in Bengbu.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xing put down the phone and looked at Yu Wenbo in confusion.
Jack turned his head and whispered to him to explain, "Blank is only half a year younger than you, is it really appropriate to say that he has a promising future?"
Gu Xing scratched his head helplessly after hearing this.
He had forgotten the important factor of age.
Before he became a professional player last year, everyone was saying that he was too old and might have already been stereotyped, making it difficult for him to improve.
At that time, the Mead Tigers who were younger than him had already won the league championship, but Gu Xing was just a rookie who was just starting out!
This caused him to subconsciously feel that he was very old.
But now that I think about it, Gu Xing is only a few days shy of 20 years old, and he is actually considered to be on the younger side among the champions!
Xiaohu, who had climbed to the top not long after his debut, had no improvement in his performance in the year and a half since Gu Xing's debut, and still only had one Silver Dragon Cup!
If Gu Xing were older, it would still be reasonable to say to Xiao Hei, "The future is yours."
But it is a bit excessive to say that the other person has a bright future when he is only half a year older.
"I have to say, Lao Gu, you have been very gentle today. I don't know if the Korean audience can be open to Blank..." Jack muttered.
Gu Xing also felt that his playing style in this semi-final was very gentle.
There was not even a Cinnabar, and he just launched a surprise attack to control resources. Even though Xiao Hei was beaten out of rhythm throughout the game, from the scene, Blank's performance was not particularly impressive.
But when he was browsing the counter bar next to the Bund while the autumn breeze was blowing and waiting for the food to be served, he discovered that a large number of netizens in the Inven forum did not show mercy to Xiao Hei because of his acceptable performance, and still criticized him verbally. The only thing he was thankful for was that
There is a small group of mere passers-by who really can't stand it anymore and can hardly help Blank.
[One person writes in blood, tell Jiang Shanjiu to get out of SKT immediately!]
[Second! Counting Huni as well, these two brothers are competing against each other, they are pure cheaters]
[Woooooooo SKT, you can’t be eliminated. How will I live if you leave? 】
[Some fans of the barbecue stall are almost there. How much is Virtue? Xiao Hei probably doesn’t make as much as others in a month in a whole year. Why should he lead SKT to win the game? Isn’t it natural that he can’t beat him? If Blank can
If you can withstand Virtue, will it be your turn to sign SKT with a cheap contract?】
[That's right, as it is said in "Spider-Man", the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Faker, why don't you censor? Fans keep saying that every time Kuro touches Lee Sang-hyeok's crotch, if you have the ability, you can only carry...
