What is a hexagon jungler? - #779 - Free extra 776: VG’s new future
Free extra 1: VG’s new future
On December 15, 2018, the first player departure notice appeared on VG’s official Weibo, Twitter and other social media.
{The contract of Song Jinghao (ID: Smeb), the top laner of the VG e-sports club, has expired. After sincere communication and communication, the intention to renew the contract has not been reached.
We regret to announce that player Smeb will officially resume his free agent status today.
The young tiger shocked the world when he first appeared on the stage of the World Series. Behind the graceful waltz of the western sword and the blazing flames of the flamethrower is your natural fierceness. The frustrated journey of falling in front of the Summoner’s Trophy for two consecutive years has not To extinguish your dream of chasing the championship, we are honored to move forward hand in hand.
After joining VG, you are not only the fulcrum of the team’s attack, you can turn into rolling thunder to attack the enemy formation; you are also the team’s most solid backing, able to repel invading enemies with a heavy hammer.
The honors we have received in the past two years are enough to prove how successful the cooperation between us has been. There is a lot of reluctance and the mountains and rivers are vast. We look forward to meeting again in another capacity next time! }
As soon as the notification came out, it became the top trending topic on Weibo within a few seconds!
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My Maibo, Jiang Zi has retired in the first place of history? 】
[I don’t know how long it will take to wait for the next all-around top laner who can advance, attack, retreat and defend to appear…]
[From S5 to S8, I have been a first-line top laner for four seasons. Is this the player with the longest shelf life in the top laner? 】
[As a die-hard Maibo fan, I am already satisfied with my passion. I have the Double Lap Grand Slam in my hand, and now I can enjoy life.]
[‘Looking forward to meeting again in another identity next time’ is what the gods and demons mean. VG still has new work to do? 】
VG not only posted this sentence under Song Jinghao’s blog post about leaving the team.
In the following two days, the same blessing words appeared in the announcements of Kuro and Duan Deliang’s departure from the team, causing speculation in major e-sports forums.
After all, it stands to reason that retirement/rest statements basically end with “Everyone has a dream in life, and everyone is wonderful.”
But soon, netizens stopped trying to guess the hidden meaning behind VG’s statement.
Because the big one is coming.
VG E-Sports Club: {The road is long and difficult, but progress is coming; keep on going, and the future is promising.
Starting today, LPL player No.077 Gu Xing (Virtue) officially retires.
You are the most shining presence on the field. You are the e-sports athlete who led the team to win glory for the country in the Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games. You are the team leader who upholds the spirit of “I come, I see, I conquer”. You are also the person who makes countless people excited. An unforgettable legend.
In two and a half years of professional competition, you have conquered all audiences with your undeniable outstanding performance.
From Staples Center to the National Stadium to Incheon Munhak Arena, countless cheers and cheers will crown you the king.
Three-time global finals champion, three-time finals FMVP, two-time mid-season championship champion, and two-time mid-season FMVP.
Two intercontinental championships, five LPL Silver Dragon Cups, an Asian Games performance gold medal…
Three-time LPL Team of the Year, three-time LPL MVP of the Year, and three-time LPL Most Popular Player.
Even though you were filled with honors, you never gave up climbing and conquering higher mountains, and eventually became the highest mountain in the history of League of Legends e-sports.
But no matter how gorgeous words are, they cannot describe your achievements and outstanding contributions to the VG club in your two and a half years of career.
After spending a thousand days together, it’s time to say goodbye in the blink of an eye.
Virtue’s career has come to an end, and Gu Xing’s life is about to embark on a new journey.
I wish you all the best and look forward to meeting you again in another capacity next time! }
Gu Xing’s retirement statement released by VG Club only took five minutes to top the list of Weibo’s hot searches. The crimson word “explosion” is enough to show its popularity.
[Rem family members, my youth is over! 】
[There is a saying about a pure passerby. Is this the most dominant player in the history of e-sports? I have never lost a championship since my debut. Whenever I participate in the competition, I win the trophy. It is simply outrageous]
[The God of League of Legends, Jiang Zi, is gone? Brother Qiuqiuxing, please give me another two years of bad money. Don’t be afraid of a bad record. Brother Meng has already said that he will never criticize you for the rest of his life! 】
【lifetime? One game! If Brother Xing really doesn’t leave and loses a BO3, you guys will prepare to open a ranch in the resistance bar]
[Although I have been prepared for a long time, when this day comes, it is really difficult to bear it]
[Now that’s it, the fiercest one is on the run, and the rest of the contestants are starting to fight for the martial arts leader]
[IG is the most arrogant. They obviously lost in the S8 finals, but in the end they beat the four VG people to retirement! 】
Netizens’ slanderous remarks only stayed on the homepage of the comment area for a short moment, and were then echoed by comments from peers and sponsors.
EDG E-Sports Club: [Legendary player, I wish you a bright and smooth future [come on]]
Many people gathered under this comment on Guodian’s official blog, claiming that EDG’s blessing was definitely sincere. After all, as the club that is most filial to Gu Xing, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to think about it in the future. How to deal with Gu Xing.
What’s even more interesting is that they calculated Guodian’s winning rate against Gu Xing. Although they experienced two junglers, Clearlove and Peanut, they maintained an embarrassing record of zero wins in both BO3 and BO5!
What a great boy!
Another person who left a message later was the official account of Mercedes-Benz, [I should be very envious of this trip, but I will never betray my original intention, and may the glory and friendship never end]
In addition, all the official blogs of the clubs in the LPL competition area came to team building and bid farewell to Gu Xing, the god of plague, with great excitement.
In the previous two and a half years, although the division has won international competitions every time, according to LPL regulations, each club can share a certain proportion of dividends from VG, which has improved its financial situation to a great extent.
But no team wants to never get ahead and live in the shadow of others.
Gu Xing’s retirement will undoubtedly put the LPL into a temporary vacancy as the leader of the Wulin League, which will give other teams a chance to compete and become the face of the competition!
It is precisely because of this that these clubs have a very positive attitude when engaging in team building under Gu Xing’s retirement blog post.
However, Gu Xing was too lazy to look into their thoughts. Anyway, he retired and began to enjoy life. Whoever becomes the leader of the LPL has little to do with him.
He also liked the official club blog of the group of people who came to congratulate him.
“Why don’t you go on Twitter and take a look?” Manager Lu Wenjun, who was responsible for handling the specific matters of Gu Xing’s retirement, suggested sitting next to him.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Xing clicked on Twitter because he didn’t know why, and then he figured out the reason.
He is also on the trending list on Twitter.
Although Gu Xing’s own account has a lot of followers, it is obviously unrealistic to want to stir up public opinion and become a hot search list overseas.
What really started this fire was the fist.
Ever since Riot heard that Gu Xinghui would retire during this transfer period, they have been working hard to prepare materials urgently, hoping to give him a grand farewell ceremony.
As soon as the retirement announcement was published, Riot officials actively forwarded it and attached a picture.
In the photo, Gu Xing showed a bright smile, with an Asian Games gold medal hanging around his neck, and three Summoner trophies in his arms. On both sides were the shining golden MSI trophies, and the inconspicuous corner behind was filled with Silver Dragon Cups and Various FMVP and most popular player trophies and souvenirs.
The evaluation of him in the accompanying text forwarded by Riot Games is even more unique.
{GOAT! It is you who make League of Legends great. Our company is lucky to have an e-sports player like Virtue. I sincerely wish you a happy life after retirement… At the same time, in memory of Virtue player, we will update in the new season of version 1. Finally, set up his cartoon statues in the jungle areas of the blue and red sides of Summoner’s Rift}
This retweet from Riot Games directly put Gu Xing at the top of Twitter’s trending searches in the United States, France, Brazil, South Korea and other big League of Legends market countries!
G2, who is usually known as the king of Twitter, also immediately jumped out to speak out, {What a pity, Virtue retired too early, and didn’t even give us a chance to defeat him head-on…}
The Snickers team has attached a bunch of pictures, which are all famous scenes of Gu Xing beating G2 in major international competitions in the past two years. {Old enemy, you should also be happy in your life after retirement! }
The self-deprecating thought made Tu Bao understand it, and almost made Gu Xing happy.
Kind of funny.
He opened the comment area to observe and found that the comments from foreign netizens were quite interesting.
The main emotion of the audience involved in the European and American competitions towards Gu Xing’s retirement is one of regret.
[It’s too early to retire. There’s no need to retire quickly. Even if you don’t play well, who will blame Virtue? 】
[Goodbye Virtue, my LPL enlightenment mentor! Without you, I would never have been exposed to this competition area where fighting is the main style in my life]
[Three S crowns, three FMVPs, what kind of monster achievement is this… In the fist picture, the league championship trophy seems to be worthless, and he throws it aside casually]
[As everyone knows, a top league championship trophy is already a goal that is out of reach for countless professional players throughout their lives… Sometimes it feels like talent is really unfair]
[Riot: We detected that the existence of Virtue disrupted the balance of the professional arena. After two and a half years of discussion, we decided to permanently move Virtue to the ban position to solve this problem once and for all]
[Designers, age, and opponents all failed to defeat Virtue. He left the professional arena with his head held high, truly the first person in the history of League of Legends! 】
The reaction of netizens in the cold country should pay more attention to themselves.
[Ho ho ho, as soon as Virtue retired, the VG dynasty completely collapsed. Our LCK opportunity finally came! 】
[Come on, you LCK bastards, we must rebuild our glory in the first division in the next few years! 】
[The first division can only belong to the Great Cold Kingdom! The little LPL just got lucky and got Virtue to win three S championships. If they really compete with each other for their background, they are no match for our LCK! 】
[Don’t worry, SKT is ready. Next year’s lineup will definitely lead to the World Championship! 】
Compared with Europe and the United States, where international competition results generally lead to a Buddhist mentality among the audience in the competition area, netizens from Hanguo who are striving to compete for the title of the first division feel like other clubs in the LPL.
Finally relieved.
At least we no longer have to face the desperate situation of increasing investment and failing to win the championship.
Galactic Battleship, start!
Gu Xing saw the comments from Hanguo netizens and went to check SKT’s new season roster on a whim.
LCK is a bit better. The transfer period is really smooth. You only need to sign the contract and you can sign it with a simple report.
Now that the LPL is still undecided in the breath-holding competition, SKT’s new lineup is steaming.
96line’s team was limited by their mediocre performance and physical illness in the past two years. They no longer wanted to maintain boring and high-intensity training for more than 15 hours a day as before, and planned to go to other competition areas to earn enough money to make a living. .
Seeing that there was no hope of retaining the team, SKT simply kicked out Xiao Hei, who had failed in the bubble competition, and began to spend huge sums of money to form Galaxy Battleship.
It is obvious that the previous three Galaxy Battleships – VG, G2 and KT all had good overall results last year, and they want to buy some immediate combat players to assist Faker.
The final lineup is quite impressive on paper.
Top laner Khan, jungler Score, mid laner Faker, bottom laner Deft + assistant Mata.
The top laners from Longzhu and KT’s bottom jungle combinations all transferred to SKT!
This traditional giant is taking advantage of the collapse of the VG dynasty and spending money to win the S9 World Championship!
“Shu Gu, do you think SKT’s lineup is viable?” Lu Wenjun asked nervously.
“…It’s pretty strong,” Gu Xing said fairly. “At least within the LCK, SKT should be the dominant player, and no club can threaten their status.”
SKT’s transfer period has almost sucked all the blood out of the LCK division.
In the S8 season, a total of 3 teams in the entire division have advanced to the World Championship. SKT has recruited the core players of two of the teams, which is equivalent to dismantling the team in disguise and forcing KT and KZ to enter a rebuilding period!
These two teams will inevitably be severely damaged. In a short period of time, whether they are fishing for big fish in the free agent market or cultivating new players, it will be difficult to regain their peak strength.
Under the circumstances, SKT’s dominance in the country will not be a problem!
“As for international competitions, it depends on the version and the players’ on-the-spot performance,” Gu Xing continued. “It’s hard to say. Maybe some people start to get no feedback as soon as they get to the finals, and their hands shake and they act like weaklings?”
“That’s true,” Lu Wenjun nodded in agreement with Gu Xing’s view, and then marveled at the Galaxy Battleship, “SKT is really powerful, how can all these stars be in one team?”
Among them, the gathering of Deft, Big Quail and Faker is the most legendary.
The ten members of Samsung and SKT were incompatible with each other back then, but they never expected that they would become teammates after 5 years.
Mapo Double C is no longer a dream, but has become a reality under SKT’s transfer period offensive!
Lu Wenjun never thought that the team could still form a team like Jiang Zi.
By analogy, it is equivalent to Uzi running to EDG and dragging Meiko and Mingkai to play together…
Isn’t this a mouse acting as a bridesmaid to a cat?
“It’s normal,” Gu Xingshen said to Sister Li, “Among the LCK players, Faker is definitely the talker and the one who responds to everything. As long as he is willing, it is easy to recruit some thugs… To put it simply , who doesn’t want to fight with me?”
He spread his hands.
Lu Wenjun followed this logic and thought for a moment, and finally figured out why SKT was able to form a Galaxy Battleship.
If Gu Xing were to find a strong teammate within the LPL to challenge for the championship, there would probably be many people who would rather cut their salary and go to VG to get the money!
“By the way, when will our new season lineup be released?” Gu Xing urged, “Look at the LCK, it’s much faster than you!”
VG’s roster for the new season has also been finalized, but it is stuck in the league review and has not been approved, so the club cannot publish privately.
Lu Wenjun blushed, “I know you are in a hurry, but don’t be anxious yet…”
“It’s just these two days anyway.”
As he said, after the controversy over Gu Xing’s retirement subsided, Tengjing finally began to review and approve player contracts submitted through the club.
This move is mainly to avoid overlapping popularity. If VG releases a new lineup just two days ago when many of VG’s outstanding players are retiring, it will not be a good thing for Gu Xing and others or for other clubs.
After VG received the approved documents, it couldn’t wait to make them public at noon that day.
{I am very happy to share with you the following transfer matters. After friendly communication between the two parties, (Han Wanghu, ID: Peanut) will walk side by side with us next season.
The tiger cub became famous all over the world when it made its debut in 2016. Even though it is young, it shows its sharpness and sharp fangs.
In the following two years, although he bounced around many clubs, his fierce inner nature has not been wiped out. Now he is fortunate to move to the top. I believe that the young tiger will quickly integrate into the VG family and start a new journey with the goal of world championship! }
A photo of Little Peanut wearing a racing suit is also attached to the back of the article. Her delicate face looks harmless.
Netizens immediately lost their composure.
[Holy shit, little peanut, are you really here? 】
[As the eldest prince, it is reasonable to take over from the traveling brother, right? 】
[Peanut: I can’t beat VG in ROX, LZ and EDG, but it doesn’t matter. Can’t all problems be solved if I just join? 】
[Good brother, you are worthy of being the man who used to be called the wild king with your brother and treated the factory director as a sphere. Come to VG and I will inherit 3 S competition championships for you first! 】
[I am the only one who pays attention to the other positions of VG. Jack seems to have renewed his contract, but what about the top assistant? According to the recent news, I haven’t heard that VG is buying people. Is it possible that there is a skylight? 】
VG dropped the second bombshell of the transfer period the next day.
Increase the number of members of the second team.
369 and Missing were both promoted to the first team!
To be honest, if there was no VG prefix, 99% of the audience would not know the two newcomers at this time.
If it were a non-traffic team, their joining would probably not make even a splash.
But this is VG, the most popular team in the LPL division!
Every move will trigger speculation and discussion among countless netizens!
When an unknown little guy joins a team, he immediately arouses criticism.
[Lu Wenjun, how many times are you doing? I’m tired of having to arrange retirement ceremonies for all the old players during the transfer period, but can you find some new members? 】
[Laughing, bring up two newcomers and let Power Jack and Little Peanut help train them, right? 】
[Bad, VG won’t even be able to enter the World Championship next year, right? Really dying at the speed of light? 】
[Don’t underestimate the strength of VG’s youth training. Chaowei also worked in VGP before. Facts have proved that if he has strength, he is strong! 】
[What kind of teammate was Chaowei at that time? Xing Ge Maibo + Rui Xing Duan Wang Ye can all give you guidance. Looking around the world in the League of Legends circle, you can’t find another newcomer with such luxurious treatment. Can you, 369 and Missing, find a sparring partner? 】
The controversy was loud, but the storm was completely subsided that night.
VG threw the last king bomb.
Official announcement of the coaching staff.
{I am honored to synchronize the following information to everyone: After full and harmonious communication, VG meritorious coach Yin Chengrong (Homme) will continue to sign with VG in the 2019 season…}
{At the same time, it is also announced that four new members of the coaching staff are added, namely top lane coach Smeb, jungle coach Virtue, mid lane coach Kuro and assistant coach Caveman. I believe that the dynasty players who are full of honors will be in the new season. Help new people thrive! }
As soon as the two pieces of news came out, they immediately aroused thousands of waves, and the hot searches on Weibo were once again covered!
[Old day, no wonder VG said something about ‘looking forward to meeting again in another identity next time’ in their retirement statement. It turned out to be a premeditated plan? 】
[Okay, okay, everyone is tied up with VG and that’s it! 】
[Finding a separate coach for each position is too luxurious, right? 】
[It’s numb, it’s the first time to see the coaching staff’s worthless starting player. How is it appropriate? 】
[It should be the kind that doesn’t stay at the base. Brother Xing still has to study. I think he just wants to participate in remote review and one-on-one teaching. It shouldn’t cost much]
[Brother Xing: Talking about money is vulgar, send it all, buddy! (I own VG shares anyway)]
【It’s done! There is hope for VG again next year, the old guys just give me a lot of gold coins and that’s it! 】
[In the future, when there is internal training, people will say, ‘What kind of champion are you?’, I’m afraid it won’t be enough to defeat the newcomers with just a few words]
Subsequently, VG officially announced the new season roster.
Top laner 369, jungler Peanut, mid laner Chovy, bottom laner JackeyLove + assist Missing.
Head coach Homme, assistant coach Virtue, Easyhoon, Smeb, Kuro, Caveman.
Under the vigorous transfer period, there is a quiet handover of the baton.
A new era for LPL has officially begun!
