First, the sword on the road
"Anti-pressure", "Strongest Shield", "Dark Three Minutes", these blue-collar attribute overflow labels, is people's impression of the champion on the single GimGoon. And on the back side of this impression is a transformation path of carry type singles.
At the end of 2014, a young player who could not play at Samsung followed the wave of Korean aid to China. Relying on the name of "Samsung trainee", he found a job in China's secondary league. There are not many magnesium lights, but it is good to be able to play games often.
In the 2015 LSPL Spring Games, he was trapped in the relegation zone as the tuition he paid for the first time in the workplace. After struggling to win two relegation matches, they welcomed Jiezou in the summer. The addition of the "First Hammerstone of National Service" has brought a good overall view to the EPA and changed the direction of the entire league pattern. Last season's Fish Belly reached the final of the sub-league, competing with HYG for a ticket to the LPL.
The EPA opened the record, HYG chased two cities in a row, and saw that the duck in his hand was about to fly, at which point GimGoon stood up. Only to see him take out Rambo in a row, the fourth inning infinite super god, the fifth inning to burn the camp, personally bring the team into the LPL.
In 2016, he was a passer-by in the Smlz Five Kills drama, the background emperor of the Dragon Son's dragon snatching, and also the lone hero who stole the QG in the war, and by virtue of this point, EPA can be relegated. After the team changed its name to GT, he further revealed his sharp edge, whether it was the little fish man who assassinated WE double C in the crowd, the Tianxiu Kelie who killed the child Yang Ai Loli in one dozen and two, or the arson machine that took 12 kills, which was the best embodiment of his offensive talent.
Unfortunately, in the summer of 2017, such talent disappeared from the vision of LPL viewers. Because GT lost to relegation emperor LGD in the spring relegation game, he was relegated. As dean of the summer tournament, he lost to VG Dream Breaker In the secondary league.
League of Legends is a profession of love and strivers for Gimgoon, yet there are too many players like him in the canyon who have worked hard all their lives in obscurity. Fortunately, fate is not thin for him, and in the winter transfer period of 2017, the new army FPX caught the tail of his peak.
Returning to the LPL, he still contributes steadily to highlight moments and takes over from time to time. A throbbing waltz figure kills TheShy in the highlands, 11 kills Of Camel kicks over OMG's generals, and Krie defeats RNG with the ultimate strip art. This year, he frequently used the development of large nuclei such as captains, sword masters, and vampires, and became a sharp sword on the road of FPX.
Second, the conversion of attack and defense
After The arrival of Doinb and Tian, the tactical core of the FPX gradually changed to Nakano. The frequent "four-pack two-pack" of the lower road makes the FPX's upper road become an "island" in a relative sense. GimGoon, who has always been at the heart of the team, is facing a role reversal.
In competitive sports, the main center often has difficulty accepting the transition from star to blue collar, just as Iverson's reluctance not to play as a substitute is the last stubbornness of his career. But after experiencing the difficulties of EPA relegation and the embarrassment of GT upgrading without a door, those rough youth memories and the life trajectory of the bottom life always remind him that "victory is the supreme criterion of the canyon".
So he accepted the change. He gave up the spotlight, gave way to the stage, sheathed the sword, and replaced it with a shield. Although he would still choose Kainan to take out the Qinggang Shadow to resist the enemy, it was more for the purpose of steady development. In this year, the captain who can provide stable output in the early stage and the orange in the middle and the full map in the middle has become his favorite hero.
From the final four of the spring tournament, to the unique side of the continental tournament, to the champion of the summer race, the breakthrough brought about by this transformation has become more and more obvious over time. A young man who has never won the top league title in his debut for 5 years has finally made his dream on the banks of the distant Seine.
Before this, he carried the trough brought by FNC, survived the thunder in the field of public opinion, experienced the "black three minutes" in the canyon, and let IG build "two bedrooms and one hall" on the road and remained indifferent. When he was in bad shape, he trained hard, and in more than 40 days, nearly 500 qualifying games washed out the new canyon channel, and Captain Planck, named GimGoon, sailed away to the other side of his dream.
On the road to the island, do not eat resources, tactical sacrifice, the bottom position... Under the forbearance of all this is a heart that is extremely eager for the championship. What he pursues is simple victory, what he yearns for is stable happiness, "who is concerned I don't care, I just want to win the game". He doesn't gravitate to the spotlight, he doesn't pursue flashy maneuvers, and he even gives up his starting spot for another tactic. In a sense, he is one of thousands of ordinary slave players.
In the turbulent years, he was ordered to put on a robe and hold up the crumbling "home". Without him, the FPX could have disbanded a year earlier. Khan said that when I was not in good shape, I knew that there were strong GimGoon players behind me, so I was at ease.
Yes, one of the most oppressive players in the history of League of Legends has not been able to knock down this thick and strong figure, and there is a sense of security where he is. Until the final game of 2020, he was pouring all his efforts to defend the glory of the defending champions. What we didn't expect was that this turned out to be the best song of his career.
3. Legendary warriors
The legendary warrior who is as stable as Tarzan also has a moment of being conquered by the years, even if he has been trying to maintain his form and has been seeking to return to the field, he has been catching up with the pace of the version, but he still can't catch up with the footsteps of the old man of time.
He is old, and the doors of his profession that were once open to him have been stingily closed, a fact that many viewers are reluctant to accept and have to accept. We are eager to see his scene of "yellow sand and a hundred battles wearing golden armor", and the ending can only be recalled by the story of "the king of the world".
His every move in the live broadcast has long been deeply rooted in the audience's mind, a cordial greeting from his hometown, a small fist to kill the keyboard, all interpret the violent aesthetics of the team father. Every word of his interview always reveals a contrasting cuteness, steady and amiable, and the sentence "Fans, Mo Mo Da" has become a long-lasting classic.
His free style accompanies many viewers through the hot and dry summer nights, and he also spent the summer of his youth in it, and is about to enter the next charter. In his own words, I have no regrets in my career. This is perhaps the greatest relief for viewers and fans.
Compared to his contribution to the division, his character and his pattern still shine in the time he is away from the field. Although S10 has experienced a rollercoaster year, although he sat on the bench after winning the championship, although it was difficult to escape the fate of the team, he always had the FPX in mind, and he smiled when the team won, and his voice was low after the team lost.
As a foreign player who grew up in the LPL, he was genuinely happy for EDG after winning the championship and bowed deeply in front of the camera to thank them for their revenge for the FPX. He didn't often have tears in his eyes like Ai Qing, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that his love for this land in the competition area was so deep.
Once the arrow of time is off the string, the world will never return to the past. Today, there is one less figure in the canyon. This figure did not go away, but was engraved into the hearts of every audience who liked him and liked the FPX.
