What is a hexagon jungler?

Gu Xing arrived at Hongqiao Railway Station at noon, and Kim Wenhyuk, the VG team leader and translator, was waiting outside.

For the professional e-sports circle, most practitioners have just woken up at this point in time.

And Jin Wenhyuk got up early in the morning, drove here for more than half an hour, yawned and poured coffee into his mouth at the same time to refresh himself.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xing felt very embarrassed, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay, this is the job of my team leader. I have to do things after I get the money." Jin Wenhe didn't care. He fastened his seat belt and drove to the direction of Songjiang University Town. "After you arrive at the base this afternoon, you can start immediately." Training match."

"So fast?!" Gu Xing was surprised, "Where is World6?"

Kim Moon-hyuk explained, "The summer split has started for two weeks now, VG has played three games, 2 wins and 1 loss is not bad, but World6's performance is relatively average, no matter whether it is the official game or the training game, it is a little bit behind. Rhythm."

He was on the LPL stage in the summer of 2015. After Dandy returned to the jungle position in early 2016, he could only be sent to the second team UP by the club, and he didn't even have to play in the first team's training match.

After finally waiting for UP to be relegated from the secondary league, World6 finally got a few LPL-level training matches - 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 placed 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 run in well with its teammates. It will start a high-intensity LPL game when it comes up, and naturally it will not be particularly good.

But the manager Lu Wenjun didn't want to wait any longer.

The salary investment of the VG League of Legends branch this year is quite scary. The salary of imp is the highest in the entire league. With the expenses of Easyhoon, Redmi and others, there is no suspense to break through the 10 million mark.

If the results of the summer competition are mediocre, Lu Wenjun will bear the brunt of it.

He discussed it with Hongmi, and decided to let Gu Xing try it out, and 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 time, and he hasn't watched VG's recent games, so he doesn't know much about it.

Back at Haowang Mountain in Longhu, Jin Wenhe saw that some players had not come to 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 original room. Now that Ding Ran is not here, you can live alone." Jin Wenhe led him upstairs, "There is no way, there are 7 players in our first team training department, and there must be someone who is alone in the room between the two. , you came late, so I didn't arrange a roommate for you..."

He was afraid that Gu Xing would be dissatisfied, and felt that the team was exclusive.

"Very good, I like living alone!" Gu Xing was overjoyed.

After living for eighteen years, he was looking forward to owning a whole house by himself.

I didn't expect to be able to realize this modest dream in the club.

After arranging the backpack and suitcase, Gu Xing picked up the Philco Ferrari Red and the Logitech mouse on the table, and went downstairs to enter the training room.

"Old 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 his closeness.

But it was found that there was an irreparable height gap between the two of them, and if they wanted to touch the top of Gu Xing's head, their posture would be very awkward.

No way, Yu Wenbo could only give up.

"Congratulations, you're all in the LPL!" Gu Xing congratulated sincerely.

I heard Jin Wenhyuk mention this on the way here before.

VG faced OMG in the first game of the summer split, first let Imp win a guaranteed game, and then decisively replaced JackeyLove in the second game, allowing the rookie to complete his career debut.

Hearing this, Yu Wenbo was overjoyed, and even his tone became brisk, "So signing with VG is the right choice, and if there are matches, it's not in vain for me to give up the live broadcast."

"One thing to say, it's really cool to stand on the LPL stage." He couldn't rub Gu Xing's hair, so he simply patted Gu Xing on the back.

Seeing his friend's puzzled expression, Yu Wenbo was very proud, "You'll know when the time comes, that taste...is wonderful."

Gu Xing is still a novice, so he can't understand the meaning of his friend.

Several VG players sat down one after another, and he finally met imp.

When I saw it for the first time, I murmured in my heart.

Could it be possible that the champion skin of the S4 mouse was really made according to the imp model?

Especially the pair of round glasses, can be called the finishing touch!

"Hello, hello, I'm here..." Imp took the initiative to greet Gu Xing in Chinese, but he couldn't understand the second half of the sentence.

Fortunately, the next imp-language exclusive translator section has been launched. He took over the role of Aya Hirano. After spending two weeks together, he can probably recognize some everyday expressions, so he hurriedly said to Gu Xing, "He said he knew you!"

During the previous trial training, imp was impressed by the two raids on Gao Dewei using wine barrels.

With a smile on the corner of Gu Xing's mouth, he exchanged greetings with the other party.

Jack answered the conversation from time to time.

He likes Samsung White very much. This championship team brought him an extremely exaggerated impact in the age of enlightenment. For the first time, he realized that the game can still be played like this, which completely subverted his cognition.

This caused Yu Wenbo and imp to get along very well with each other even though they were nominally in a competitive relationship.

After World6 entered the training room, they also came to meet Gu Xing.

Nicknamed World Girl, she has a gentle temper and is easy to get along with. Her skin is fair and her facial features are upright. When she smiles, she still has two small canine teeth.

Brother Long and easyhoon were still discussing what to have for supper today. It wasn't until Hongmi walked into the room and announced that the training match would start soon that the noisy discussion gradually disappeared.

Gu Xing hasn't touched the game for more than a week, and he is a little unfamiliar with the canyon. If he plays qualifying, it's okay, there is no pressure on him.

But facing the professional team, they really encountered some troubles.

In the first game, he couldn't find much rhythm in the early stage. Fortunately, he also knew that he had to find his status slowly, so he chose a male gun to come out.

In the end, it lasted until 43 minutes and 30 seconds, relying on Gu Xing's steady punishment to accept Dalong, and the explosive output of the male gun helped VG win the team battle, and it was difficult to come back and win!

Under normal circumstances, training games rarely reach the late stage.

The first Baron Nash's ownership can affect the outcome of the game. Many teams don't want to continue fighting after losing the Baron, so they simply start the next game quickly.

But with this plate of red rice, it can be seen that Gu Xing's hand feeling has not yet recovered, so he was given a little more time, and the training match was not called off even though he put a big dragon first.

Seeing that VG didn't give up, the other party could only continue to fight down, dragging and dragging was really overturned!

"Wow, I'm so tired..." Imp saw the enemy type out the word GG on the public screen, and collapsed backward on the gaming chair, a real international backlash.

After coming to China, he became much rounder, and now his lower abdomen is slightly bulging.

For ADCs, dealing with this kind of late game situation is very exhausting.

They must be constantly aware of their surroundings.

Except for Wei En, who can make her flesh out due to her own skill characteristics, most shooters wear damage equipment to ensure output efficiency. Their bodies are very fragile, and they may be instantly killed if they are not careful.

Moreover, non-stop walking A in team battles will also put a lot of burden on your hands and easily get injured.

"In the early stage of this round, I played a little bit, mainly because my hands were a little raw, but it's okay, the next round will be fine." Gu Xing still kept in good communication with his teammates, "I'll choose an excavator later to catch more people, Let the buddies have a good time!"

After receiving the promise, imp felt as if he had eaten a sweet date, and suddenly became energetic, "Is it steamed or fake?"

Gu Xing never lied to others.

In the second game, he took out Rek'Sai, grabbed the opponent's bot lane 4 times in the first 15 minutes, and successfully helped his ADC get three kills.

After Imp got the head economy, the Carry game was a logical one. He manipulated Kalista to jump repeatedly in the Summoner's Canyon, and played explosive output in the mid-term team battle, and finally achieved a super god record of 9 kills and 0 deaths!

In the next few training games, Gu Xing still stayed in the bottom lane and helped the duo.

The crazy imp in the training match showed a happy smile.

He really wants to say something right now!

The VG management team watched the training match this afternoon from the back of the player bench.

"The performance is really good," Lu Wenjun praised, "The operation is good, the thinking is also very clear, a natural player."

Redmi also agrees with him, "The style of play is indeed very smart. If you can learn it hard, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Aside from using male guns to warm up hands in the first game, Gu Xing has been making arrangements 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 on the edge of the player bench during his trial training, but was stopped by Jin Wenhyuk.

"You take the original Dandy's seat," he pointed at the empty machine next to Easyhoon, "do well at night."

On some teams, there are unspoken rules about seating in the training room.

The starting members sit in a row, and the rest of the players fill in at the edge of the bench.

After the training match this afternoon, the VG coaching staff now really wants him to play and try the effect.

Gu Xing still doesn't know this truth, but he also has a faint guess in his heart.

At the end of a set of training matches in the evening, his tense body finally relaxed.

The results of today's training match are written on the whiteboard behind him.

7 wins and 2 losses.

Considering that he has just joined and there is still room for improvement in the degree of cooperation with his teammates, this kind of winning rate is really not low.

Gu Xing just wanted to start a two-set qualifying match to score points, but was called over by Hongmi.

Jin Wenhyuk first explained to him, "Starting from today, Coach Homme will have small classes every night, mainly to teach some concepts and details of professional players, which will be very helpful for your future growth and progress..."

Gu Xing signaled that he understood clearly, showed the energy he had in class before, concentrated his attention and prepared to listen carefully.

"Let's first talk about League of Legends itself. What do you think is its essence?" Redmi's words came to his ears through translation.

"Tower pushing game?" Gu Xing was not sure about the answer to this question, but whether it was the Summoner's Canyon or the Howling Abyss of the Great Smash Bros., the ultimate goal was to destroy the enemy's main crystal.

"That's right," Hongmi nodded slightly, "but we can dig one layer deeper."

He is very good at inspiring newcomers. At this moment, he is persuasive, letting Gu Xing follow his own train of thought, "Let me talk about a clichéd question first. Why do many people think that being ahead in the economy has an advantage?"

Gu Xing didn't hesitate much, "Because leading the economy means that you can make better equipment with stronger attributes and combat effectiveness?"

"It is true. In most cases, there is no problem in thinking from this perspective, but when facing some lineups and teams, the point of view is not valid," Hongmi said not fast, and the tone sounded very comfortable , "For example, the mid-season update of the little dragon, if the economy of the two sides is almost the same, but one of the teams has got two fire dragons..."

Now each fire dragon will provide the team with an 8% bonus to attack power and ability power, and two fire dragons will increase by 16%, which is quite a big boost to the core output.

"There is no doubt that the first team that controls the dragons has a better chance of winning. It can be seen that the argument of 'economic leadership has an advantage' is not accurate, and there are other variables that affect the situation," Homme put forward his point of view, "In In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to call League of Legends a resource game."

"Defensive towers, big dragons and small dragons, gold coins, experience, vision and other factors... are all types of resources, which are included by me."

Jin Wenhe diligently translated, "Since I have made a definition from my point of view-League of Legends is a resource-winning game, how to win, there are two points that need special attention, one is how to efficiently plunder resources, and the other is How to allocate resources within the team more reasonably is also a question that the coaching staff of each team in the circle needs to think about and study."

"All tactical systems are developed and perfected based on these two points."

Seeing that Gu Xing understood what he said, Hongmi continued to talk.

"A typical case of efficient plundering of resources is the speed push system of the female policeman. Through the laning suppression ability created by the female policeman's range advantage, she quickly unplugs the defensive tower, and then switches to advance. With the line she is at as the core, no Stop occupying the enemy's wild area, so that the team can get resources as quickly as possible."

"As for the concept of 'how to allocate resources reasonably', the most suitable example is the four-one split push, which is one of the classic tactics of League of Legends, and many professional teams use it with great proficiency..."

As an LPL audience, Gu Xing has a deep understanding of this.

This trick originated from the World Champion Assassin Star in the S2 season, and was finally further developed by the Korean team, which repeatedly tortured the LPL team to death in several international competitions.

"The general concept of the four-one split push is this. The players arrange their eye positions to provide protection for the single belt point, and then the four players hold back in front, allowing the player in charge of the single belt to use his heroic characteristics or his own strength to achieve the lead in the matchup. Through Eat wild monsters, soldiers, and defensive towers to develop rapidly, and at the same time squeeze the gold coins and experience of the defenders, so that the advantage of a single point will snowball until it completely loses the balance of the line."

Hongmi talked eloquently, "The tactical environment has improved to the extent it is today. If you can neither use the four-one point push nor how to deal with it, then it is not a strong team, because the tactics themselves are not special. Complicated, the wards arranged by teammates, the wild monsters assigned to him by the team... are essentially simple resource allocation."

He used two examples to explain the concepts of 'resource plunder' and 'resource allocation' he just mentioned.

Gu Xing thinks that Hongmi is quite suitable to be a teacher, the rhetoric and the case are combined, easy to understand and step by step.

"The reason why I explain so much to you is because in professional e-sports, players must master the tactics proposed by the coach, otherwise it will be difficult to execute on the field and the effect will be very poor." Hongmi emphasized.

Gu Xing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"I'm not going to focus on tactics with you today, but start from every small point of resources. After analyzing all the resource points, your understanding of League of Legends will be improved." Jin Wenhe translated From time to time, I also played with Xindaya, using Chinese poems.

"First of all... wild monsters, because you are a jungler, you must be very sensitive to this resource, so I will start from here," Hongmi raised his glasses, "In addition to the red and blue buffs, there are four For a wild monster camp, the refresh time is 100 seconds, you must be clear about this simple problem."

He and Gu Xing looked at each other, "Then I want to ask a question, what is the latest version change related to the wild area, do you know?"

Without hesitation, Gu Xing said, "The updated content of version 6.9 removes epic wild monsters such as big dragons and small dragons. When the rest of the wild monsters are killed, they will only provide experience to the killer. It turns out that as long as you help out, you can share experience..."

"This change is mainly due to the prevalence of line-changing tactics before. If the top laner is changed, he will eat wild monsters with the jungler in the early stage, and can use experience to make up for his own development. After the change, the difficulty and disadvantages of line-changing will rise to a higher level. , the experience loss faced after the top laner is changed will be more serious."

Gu Xing likes to study data very much. Before playing a game, he would always go to the official website to find the version update content, and then go to the data website to find the nearest strong jungler.

This is also the reason why he had very few qualifying games in each season, but his scores were not low.

Very adaptable to versions.

"What else?" Redmi asked with great interest.

"As long as you buy the initial jungler's wide blade, amulet, and the upgraded green, blue, and red three-color jungler, when the hero kills a large monster, it will provide 50 more experience points. If the level of the monster killed is If it is higher than myself, it will also give you 30 extra experience points," Gu Xing remembered clearly, "This is a big boost for the jungler."

Originally, broad blades and amulets would only provide 15 experience points when killing large wild monsters, and the three-color jungle knife only provided 30 points.

At that time, the status of the jungler was really not high, it was just an enhanced version of the support.

But with this change, with the lowest level of jungle equipment, the hero can get an extra 210 experience points after eating the six groups of wild monsters in the first round!

You know, the experience needed to upgrade a hero from level 1 to level 2 is only 280 points.

The version change instantly increased the influence of the jungler on the situation!

Hongmi was very satisfied. He didn't expect Gu Xing, a newcomer, to answer all the questions he asked.

If you can name half of them, you are already considered a pass.

But Gu Xing's performance gave him a big surprise.

"Based on this version update, strong junglers will also be replaced..." He taught the newcomers little by little, so that Gu Xing could adapt to the professional arena as soon as possible.

According to Redmi, this kind of thinking is a compulsory course for professional players.

Although many LPL players do not have it, he still has to teach.

It is his responsibility as a coach to let the players become better in their own hands.

...

The evening of June 11.

At the end of the whole day's training game, VG's effect is getting better and better after replacing Gu Xing, and the rhythm is very smooth.

Win more and lose less, the atmosphere in the training room is relaxed and comfortable.

Hongmi stood in the middle, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

"I'll announce the starting lineup for facing RNG tomorrow..." He glanced at each player.

Top laner, mid laner, and support have no rotation, so there is no rush at all. Jack knows that he still has to learn for a while, and his current ability cannot catch up with imp, so he doesn't have any hope.

Even World6 didn't have any hope, Gu Xing played the training matches for the past two days, and the results were very good.

No matter how you think about it, it makes no sense to let him start.

"Top laner Loong, jungler Virtue, mid laner Easyhoon, bottom laner Imp and Caveman."

Gu Xing fell into ecstasy!

You said that I was a summer job, how could I become the first LPL starter?

Jack was also happy for his friend, "Okay, brother Xing, give me a good spicy pot tomorrow!"

As the leader of the seven wolves of Ionia, he can't play, but he can send thugs!

After Hongmi left, Jack didn't forget to instigate the fire in the group chat, [What do you guys say, RNG will play VG tomorrow, and the first seven wolves jungle competition is about to begin! 】

Shi Senming was surprised that Gu Xing became the LPL starter so quickly, but he chose to support Mala Xiangguo.

After all, the strength of RNG's lineup lies here, and the strength of the champion of the spring split cannot be underestimated.

Lin Weixiang, who claims to know how to read faces, supports Gu Xing unconditionally, probably because he is sure that he can win the world championship, and it is no problem to win the next regular season.

MLXG is rare to erupt, [ @I really only know how to play wild, my brother has seen the truth in the arena, I will definitely not let it go]

Gu Xing pretended to be calm and sent two emoticons.

In fact, I was very excited.

In the early hours of the morning, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gu Xingcai was overwhelmed by exhaustion, and fell asleep until noon.

Belonging to his first game day, officially arrived.
