On the day of the match between POG and GGB, POG arrived at the lounge early to prepare for the match.
After Lu Cheng finished putting on his makeup, he also went to POG's lounge to gank. He felt that he was very familiar with POG and he should be able to get in by knocking on the door.
As a result, he was stopped outside the door by official staff.
The staff politely advised, "If you want an autograph and a photo, POG will deliver the gift box to your lounge shortly."
Lu Cheng was quite familiar with these staff members and said with a smile, "I'll go and chat with them. They're all acquaintances."
The staff member was tactful again: "Then let them out."
——Anyway, he won’t let you go.
Lu Cheng had no choice but to take out his cell phone to call Lin Yanqiu.
Lin Yanqiu asked: "Who do you want to talk to?"
Lu Cheng laughed: "Let's just chat, isn't that okay?"
After many twists and turns, finally——
All POG members showed up in the GGB lounge.
The GGB crowd was bewildered. They asked Lu Cheng, "Didn't you say you wanted to add a friend?"
Zhou Yao smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I added a friend to the team. How's it going? Is it exciting?"
The GGB team members thought to themselves, is this logic not quite right?
Yang Chi: "You guys are called a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest, you know?"
Xu Qing happily put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Wow, you can even speak idioms? Pretty impressive!"
Gu Yueshuang pulled up a chair and sat down: "How can you say we're taking over? We were already bulldozing your base before the game."
Mid laner Yan Che asked, "Don't you have your own lounge?"
Gu Yueshuang: "Yes, I came here to visit you guys, didn't I?"
As she spoke, she noticed a lot of snacks piled on the table, so she walked over and looked around to see if there was anything delicious.
Lin Yanqiu: "You can't eat other people's snacks."
Yan Che smiled kindly and amiably, like an elder: "It's okay, eat as much as you want, there's plenty. You can take whatever you like."
Lin Yanqiu walked over and took Gu Yueshuang away: "Goodbye, if your fans see us, we're going to airdrop snacks to the base again. We really have no place to put them."
"……oh."
GGB people: "..."
So you guys are here to show off?
"The kids on our team are quite curious, don't mind them." Zhou Yao waved his hand, taking the lead. "Everyone, sit down. Don't stand."
Lu Minghao whispered, "There are no more chairs..."
GGB people: "..."
What? You want us to get up and make room for you?
Yang Chi lay back on the chair and said in a sly tone, "I won't let you."
Gu Yueshuang: "It's okay, just sit at the table, it's the same. If it collapses, just say it was Pigsy."
Yang Chi quickly sat up and asked, "Are you robbers?"
Gu Yueshuang remained calm: "You just found out? We've been called bandits for the entire season."
Although their approach on the field was indeed a bit wild, not only eating up the opponent's jungle but also killing the opponent's players in the opposite jungle, but Gu Yueshuang always felt that the word "bandit" was a bit strong. Aren't they just "eating" a bit too much...
I don’t know who started calling them “bandits”, but now their playing style is inseparable from these two words.
Yang Chi was embarrassed: "Can you please have some shame?"
You can’t just act like a bandit just because others say your style is “bandit”!
Gu Yueshuang said confidently: "What's the point of having a face? I have to wash it, what a hassle."
Everyone: “…”
Yan Che sighed: "I always thought Yang Chi was thick-skinned enough, but I didn't expect..."
Gu Yueshuang looked at Yang Chi curiously and asked, "What skin care products do you use?"
"ah?"
Yang Chi didn't understand why the topic changed so quickly and was a little confused.
Gu Yueshuang: "It's amazing that you can maintain such a thick skin."
Yang Chi: "...Get lost!"
Yan Che blushed, "Why are you here?"
Lu Cheng wrote a note to Gu Yueshuang, saying, "This is a private account. I usually use it when I'm not live streaming. Is that okay?"
Lin Yanqiu looked suspicious: "Why did you give us your private account?"
Lu Cheng smiled shyly. "To be honest, I'm a little lost right now. It's a bit like your situation during the Spring Split. I went to the Master for a calculus, and he said it would be best to find a midlaner who's just gotten over the hump to duo queue with. I thought about it, and wasn't Frost the only one?"
This time it was Gu Yueshuang's turn to be bewildered: "Huh?"
Lin Yanqiu was alert: "We don't loan out our midfielders."
The little fanboy Lu Minghao was also extremely alert: "You are not just making up an excuse to cheat Brother Shuang into becoming their friend, right?"
"No, no." Lu Cheng frantically pulled out his phone. "I can show you. I have the master's WeChat ID."
Zhou Yao: "...More like a liar."
Xu Qing unconditionally supports his own AD: "You believe in that so-and-so master, but you don't believe in our Xiao Lin's finger divination?"
Lu Cheng: "...How can this be the same?!"
Yang Chi quickly stood in front of Lu Cheng and looked fiercely at the group of "bandits": "I'm warning you, don't bully us junglers!"
Gu Yueshuang asked sincerely: "Where did you bully me?"
Yang Chi was speechless and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "...Don't go too far!"
Lin Yanqiu acted as a peacemaker: "Forget it, forget it. Let's not bother with them. What if they lose the game and blame us for affecting their mentality before the game?"
Yang Lin: “…”
Brother, you are here to provoke a fight, right?
Gu Yueshuang waved her hand, not refusing but also not agreeing explicitly: "If you are still in the mood to care about this matter after the competition, we can talk about it later."
Yan Che was clearly trying to get rid of the guests: "So you guys are leaving? We can't accommodate everyone in the lounge."
Zhou Yao shrugged innocently: "To be honest, we were kicked out."
GGB people: "Hmm?"
Xu Qing imitated Fang Butao's tone: "We need to borrow our lounge for an interview with Lao Gu. You all should go out and play for a while. Come back in 20 minutes - don't come back if you don't receive my WeChat."
"Yes, that's right. We just didn't know where to go, and then Lu Cheng came." Gu Yueshuang's tone was a little exaggerated, "Lu Cheng is the savior of our POG!"
GGB people: "..."
Gu Yueshuang continued, "We'll be fighting Pig Man six against four. If there's any problem, it must be Lu Cheng's fault."
GGB people: "..."
Two minutes later, all the POG players were kicked out of the GGB lounge.
Someone in the GGB lounge roared this sentence:
"Don't let it affect the mentality of our team members anymore!"
Lu Minghao asked: "Did you receive the WeChat message?"
Lin Yanqiu: “Not yet.”
Yang Lin: "What should we do? Where should we go now?"
Gu Yueshuang smiled: "Let's not do that. If you continue making trouble, you'll really be reported."
Yang Lin: "Huh? Didn't we often bully others before the game?"
Xu Qing was at a loss: "Who told you that?"
Yang Lin scratched his head, realizing he'd misspoken, but continued, "That's what everyone says... They say POG has a really good mentality, even during game chats and interviews where they often tease each other. So they say you guys are also constantly messing with other players' mentality before games. Like, chatting with opponents before picks and bans. I remember that happening, didn't I?"
Gu Yueshuang seemed to be lost in thought. "So our image as a bully has become so deeply ingrained in people's minds? Then let's go and cause trouble for some officials. Oh no, let's go and visit them, visit them."
Unfortunately, he was called back by Fang Butao before he had the chance to "visit".
Before the BP, Gu Yueshuang continued to brainwash people on the public screen: "It's really six against four. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Xu Qing: "Are you using a counter-espionage scheme?"
Gu Yueshuang continued typing: "I suggest calling the referee to investigate Lu Cheng."
Lu Cheng: “???”
You are framing me!
Jokes aside, when the game started, Lu Cheng did have a devastating start—
POG, who hadn't participated in a level one team fight for a long time, ambushed them in the jungle at level one, stole the red buff and killed the jungler.
Lu Cheng had a disastrous start.
Gu Yueshuang got the assist and joked as she returned to the line: "It's over, what should I do if the referee really wants to check Lu Cheng?"
Xu Qing: "Send me a head and I will clear his name immediately."
Gu Yueshuang continued to sow discord: "Captain Xiaolin, he wants to take your head, drag him out and kill him first."
Lu Cheng’s jungle route during this period has been thoroughly studied.
To be precise, for GGB, a jungle core team, as long as someone moves on the line, POG knows what their jungler is going to do.
If it is a Korean-style operation, then their movements are very easy to guess.
Gu Yueshuang: "We can push the line in the middle."
Yan Che is indeed old, and his skills have declined a lot. He is also the one who suffers the most from the aftermath of the MSI on the GGB team, and he no longer dares to play in the mid lane.
Mid lane is the most important position in high-end games. Once there is a problem in the middle lane, the entire team will be at a great disadvantage.
Lin Yanqiu asked: "Can I kill him alone?"
Gu Yueshuang: "I'll try."
Qin Ye just found Lu Cheng in the wild area, and Gu Yueshuang immediately took action and dealt a set of damage, but unfortunately the damage was not enough. After completing a wave of blood exchange, she returned to the city to replenish her status after replenishing the soldiers.
Gu Yueshuang was quite regretful: "I can't kill alone for now."
Lin Yanqiu: "It's okay, try again in the next wave."
Xu Qing: “……?”
Aren't you two taking it a bit too far? You just reached level 6 and you're already thinking of solo kills? You really don't even consider them human?
Gu Yueshuang was extremely daring in the middle lane. As long as Yan Che got close to her, she would start exchanging blood with him without any fear.
Yan Che has rich experience in laning, but he can't figure out Gu Yueshuang's tactics.
Logically speaking, this should be her "there are people behind me" style of play, so whenever someone in POG disappears, Yan Che will retreat immediately.
But every time we never waited for reinforcements from the enemy.
——It seems like every time I just go back to the city to replenish equipment or place a ward.
Yan Che didn't wait for reinforcements for the fourth time, and finally realized that Frost might have really become arrogant. His positioning was simply a show - it seemed that he no longer regarded him as a top mid laner.
How could Yan Che be willing to endure this humiliation?
So the fifth time, Yan Che did not retreat, but rushed forward to exchange blood with Gu Yueshuang.
As a result, almost at the moment when they were close to each other, an assistant with a red health bar walked out of the bushes and blocked Yan Che's retreat - this time there was actually an ambush!
Yan Che was filled with regret. Why did he want to fight just this time, and the support happened to be there?
He poured all his skills into Gu Yueshuang, trying to die with her.
Who knew that Gu Yueshuang suddenly went to replenish the soldiers during the fight and reached the next level - her health was restored a little.
Yan Che was furious. He gave away a life in vain and was also filled with anger.
Gu Yueshuang hummed a little tune happily: "Book of Murder, Book of Murder~!"
Xu Qing: "Calm down. It's not worthwhile to issue the Book of Death now."
Gu Yueshuang: "I'm just shouting casually."
Qin Ye gave the order: "Be more aggressive on the road."
Lu Minghao: “Got it!”
The first little dragon was taken by POG in advance.
The opponent on the Rift Herald also seems ready to give in.
Lin Yanqiu summarized the situation: "The opponent is still at a complete disadvantage. They may also release the second dragon, and they may fight us head-on for the third dragon."
Gu Yueshuang: "That means if we fight a little harder, they won't fight us for the third little dragon, right?"
Xu Qing: "...Are you dreaming?"
Lin Yanqiu thought about the possibility of this situation and answered seriously, "Then they might fight us to the death at the third dragon group."
Gu Yueshuang switched screens to look at the situation in each lane and said, "Clear the vision in top lane and find a bush to place a ward. When I return to the city next time, we can three-on-one in top lane."
Xu Qing carefully calculated his skills and said, "Four against two in the top lane is also possible. I guess Lu Cheng will be there soon."
Gu Yueshuang praised: "You have made progress. You can get a chicken drumstick when you go back."
"That's right. If I don't improve, I'll be fired." Xu Qing happily accepted the compliment and instructed his AD, "You can wait under the tower for a while. I'll be back soon."
Lin Yanqiu: "Okay, I'll help you guard the middle tower."
There was a GGB ward in the jungle, which was left there intentionally by POG. Qin Ye passed by this ward and headed towards the top lane.
——This is the information they deliberately leaked to GGB.
GGB guessed that they were going to place the Rift Herald in the top lane, so Lu Cheng rushed to the top lane to try to help defend the top tower.
The audience's blood pressure was so high from the God's perspective. As soon as Lu Cheng passed by the bushes, Gu Yueshuang immediately teleported from there - just in time for a double-team.
GGB's top and jungle were like lambs to be slaughtered, unaware of their tragic fate, and were preparing to bravely defend the top lane tower.
As a result, the Rift Herald was not released, but the mid and support were released.
Top laner Lu Minghao took the lead in resisting the tower, and Gu Yueshuang's set of skills instantly killed the squishy jungler Lu Cheng——
GGB's jungle core, in order to pursue damage panel and show the ultimate operation, their junglers always have output equipment.
Lu Cheng's game interface turned gray unexpectedly, and he died before he could even press the life-saving skill.
For a moment, I could only sigh silently in my heart that this is the speed of young people's hands and reaction speed...
Was he this good-looking when he was seventeen?
This was a smooth four-on-two attack. Lu Minghao defended the tower until his health was almost gone, then calmly walked out from under the tower and returned to the city directly at the tower's edge.
——GGB’s mid laner can’t get through, their captain Kobayashi is guarding there.
After killing GGB's top and jungle, Qin Ye released the Rift Herald, and the top and support retreated immediately, leaving the tower skin to the mid and jungle to eat.
Gu Yueshuang's health was still relatively good, so she gave the Rift Herald a ride, letting it crash into the second tower in the top lane.
If Lin Yanqiu hadn't called her back, she would even want to push the second tower before leaving.
——Although pushing this second tower would be a bit risky.
But wealth and honor are achieved through risk.
Gu Yueshuang returned to the city and bought a killing book.
During this time, GGB was under increasing pressure. Since the summer season, whenever Gu Yueshuang had a Killing Book, she would cautiously yet boldly attack with damage—ensuring she could survive without dying and then attack with all her might.
Once her Book of Death reaches about 20 layers, she will start to appear and disappear mysteriously - maybe when you are alone, she will suddenly emerge from the grass and kill you in an instant.
There was no time to even react, let alone resist.
Therefore, they must be extremely cautious, and it is best for them to work together and reduce individual actions.
Gu Yueshuang's presence gave them a great sense of oppression.
——In the past, it was hard to believe that this sense of oppression was caused by a newcomer.
Yan Che was a little anxious. This was his opponent, but now he became the number one in economic ranking. He had a great responsibility.
So he chose to go to the top lane alone.
He wanted to put some pressure on POG and ask POG to send someone to clear the top lane.
As long as the person who came was not Frost, he was confident that he could escape unharmed - and might even get a solo kill.
Gu Yueshuang is the opponent's output pillar at this time, so she should join the team to kill the dragon, right?
But the reality is that what you fear will always come true.
It happened to be Frost who came, and he came out from their jungle area.
Frost easily completed the solo kill and walked away with a bright expression.
Lu Cheng: "Why did you die?"
Yan Che: "Why did he come out of our jungle?"
The two looked at each other in silence.
Gu Yueshuang actually went there to clear the jungle and place a ward.
From a God's perspective, you can see that POG's eyes light up this wild area.
While GGB was still struggling with the little dragon, POG had already occupied the area around the big dragon pit.
Gu Yueshuang: "Captain, I've finished placing the wards and my economy has recovered. Can I continue farming?"
Lin Yanqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Go ahead."
After the first round, public opinion was completely outraged.
POG's first three games were against very strong opponents, so they received relatively little attention and people did not recognize their strength.
But GGB was the Spring Split champion, while POG was only in the semifinals. Everyone thought it was 60/40 or even 70/30, with GGB at 60—at least they should have fought back and forth, right?
Although GGB exploded at MSI, there is no problem in teaching the LPL teams a lesson.
But who could have thought that POG would be in the lead throughout?
I even feel like there's no difference between the first three opponents in GGB and POG... they're both playing against bots.
I thought it would at least evolve into a Hellbot... (To be honest, I lost to the Hellbot in the beginning)
I thought GGB was beating POG like an bot, but POG was beating GGB like an bot, and a hellish one at that... I don't know if you've ever experienced hellish bots where you can only win by stealing towers. I actually kind of miss the days when the bots beat you.
[Seriously, you can't win even with this tower stealing, right? Take note, Frost has a teleport. He might teleport in to get the kill the moment you start stealing.]
I thought you were talking about stealing the base, but it turns out you were talking about stealing the tower? Has GGB become this bad?
[Here's a little-known fact: POG also beat GGB in the Spring Split.]
Here's a little-known fact: POG only made it to the semifinals in the Spring Split because their squishy AD carry was hospitalized. This AD was prone to illness and couldn't go to school or work like a normal person, so he was stuck at home playing games, and then he accidentally became a pro.
[The last little-known fact: the mid laner is seventeen years old.]
[Are all newcomers monsters? ? ?]
[To be fair, it's not that POG is strong, it's that GGB was too weak today. I suggest a strict investigation.]
This one quickly became the hottest topic, with mixed support and opposition, and the debate was particularly intense.
In the POG lounge.
Gu Yueshuang was slightly worried: "Do you think they can adjust well in the next game?"
Lin Yanqiu paused for two seconds and said, "I think so. After all, it's a top team, and they're all veteran players. They'll be able to adjust their mentality faster."
Xu Qing said with a smile, "I'm not exaggerating, but the veteran players are more able to handle pressure. In the early years, the environment was relatively simple, and if you lost badly, you had to be careful of getting beaten up—they might even throw trash on the stage."
Lu Minghao raised his hand: "I don't accept——"
Xu Qing's expression changed in an instant: "If you don't agree, just hold it in!"
Lu Minghao: "I feel bad for Brother Shuang! His ability to handle pressure is absolutely top-notch."
Xu Qing: "...He is a monster, he doesn't count."
Gu Yueshuang scratched her hair, feeling a little regretful: "I was mainly afraid that they really suspected that there was something wrong with Lu Cheng..."
Xu Qing: "Not really, right? The mid laner clearly has a bigger problem in this game."
Qin Ye objected: "The jungler started the game with a shattering collapse - but you can't blame him."
Lin Yanqiu: "But it was definitely the mid laner who caused the jungler to collapse, and then the whole team was in trouble."
Xu Qing was still laughing foolishly: "At the beginning, when I was in the mid lane bush, Shuang Ge and I were ready to cross the tower, but Yan Che came out by himself. It was hilarious."
Zhou Yao also laughed: "This wave is really good. From now on, his mentality will completely collapse, right?"
Xu Qing was laughing when he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Will the MVP go to the mid laner again? I'm starting to suspect something's going on."
Fang Butao: "If they didn't give the mid laner a chance, I would suspect something fishy is going on. There's a clear gap in the mid laner in this game, and even an amateur like me can see it."
Yan Che single-handedly brought the entire team down.
Gu Yueshuang expanded the advantage in the middle lane to the overall situation.
Gu Yang was delighted: "Our mid laner's development speed is getting faster and faster, and the support speed is also getting faster and faster."
Qin Ye snorted coldly and drank some water to calm himself down.
He had many groups of wild monsters robbed! All of them were robbed by this big villain!
Why does the mid laner thrive so quickly? Because they not only take the minion wave and the bounty, but they also take the jungle!
At the beginning of the second game, we were ambushed in the bottom lane and were at a disadvantage at the start.
Lin Yanqiu asked, "Can I eat this toad to replenish my experience?"
Gu Yueshuang was very generous: "Eat it, you can eat the river crab in the middle lane too."
Qin Ye: "?"
That's my jungle! My jungle monsters!
However, under the pressure of the two Cs, he could only reluctantly give up: "Toads are allowed, but river crabs are not."
Lu Minghao: "Then can I have a stone man?"
Qin Ye frowned and said coldly: "You are dreaming."
Lu Minghao blinked his eyes: "I can carry it too!~"
Gu Yueshuang comforted the child: "Come to the middle lane, I'll take you to get first blood and eat the plating."
Lu Minghao was silent for two seconds, then grumbled, "You're kidding me! Are you trying to trick me into going to the middle lane to be your thug?!"
Gu Yueshuang: "Oh, there's a blistering cannon cart here. Can we wait for an AD?"
Lin Yanqiu: “…”
Not to mention fooling a child, you can't even fool a fool.
Lin Yanqiu: "I'll stop by when we fight the little dragon later."
Zhou Yao: "...Brother, you have to take a long detour to 'pass by'."
The author has something to say: Lust makes one lose their mind (not really)
