Chapter 194: The ridiculous finals and the invisible future
No matter how confused China is about the current state of e-sports in South Korea, the LCK games in South Korea are still going on as usual.

"Pull out the spear! Kalista gets a triple kill! With the cooperation of Smeb's Fiora, this wave is explosive!"

"Amazing individual performances from both KT players!"

Under the characteristic Korean-style roaring commentary, as Faker, who was trying his best to operate, was killed by IMP's spear-pulling and health-bar-vanishing spell, the high-flying KT team began to advance frantically, and in the blink of an eye, they had pushed down the front tower.

At this time, IPX (Park Jae-yoon)'s Noxus in the top lane had already resurrected.

With a 2/6 Noxus on the edge of such a cliff, he should risk his life to delay the enemy and buy time for the main force to revive.

But as if frightened by KT's fierce offensive, Park Jae-yoon didn't even dare to think about leaving the fountain. He just watched KT team tear down the team all the way to the crystal.

The other SKT members were worried when they saw him like this, but due to Park Jae-yoon's position in the team, they didn't even have the courage to send a signal to question him.

However, just because Park Jae-yoon gave the French military salute doesn't mean KT wants to let him go.

"Brother Gonghao, Brother Shengbin, is it okay?" Liu Shangyu, whose ID is Ryu and who once competed with Faker for the starting mid laner of SKT, was eager to try.

He suffered a lot from the coward in the fountain at the SKT training camp, and was only able to escape from the misery after receiving an invitation from the European team OG.

However, due to language barriers, he was ultimately unable to go. After many twists and turns, he finally seized the opportunity to be signed by KT.

He then performed well all the way and has come this far with KT.

If his attitude towards Faker who stole his mid lane was one of dissatisfaction and eagerness to fight,
As for Park Jae-yoon, the so-called master, Liu Shangyu only had resentment in his heart.

"Really? Don't ignore your brothers just to look cool, you bastard!" Smeb, who was in the top lane, cursed with a smile, and then said seriously:

"Now that it's like this, just do it if you want to! Brothers will help you!"

There is no particularly outstanding old Deng in the KT team, and the age difference between the players is not particularly large, so the atmosphere is more harmonious.

However, if the youngest Ryu wants to do something on his own, he still needs the consent of his brothers.

(In reality, Yue Lun is one year older than Pu Pu and Smeb, but this is a parallel world, and Yue Lun and Guapi are set to be the same age, so don’t take it too seriously)
"What a pity, Deft didn't resurrect. What a pity." IMP muttered.

This cute-looking but unrestrained young man didn't care about the traditional hierarchy in South Korea. He just felt sorry that he couldn't hurt Deft by attacking the fountain.

Since entering the league, the two super talents in the bottom lane, Gu Shengbin and Kim Hyuk-kyu, have often been put together by the world.

They are either called the two stars of the bottom lane, or they are compared with each other to see who is better.

Kim Hyuk-kyu, who is quiet and gentle by nature, doesn't care about these false reputations, but Gu Sung-bin, who is strong-willed and competitive, cares very much about them.

So much so that Kim Hyuk-kyu's ID "deft" has almost become his stress keyword.

If anyone dares to say to his face that he is not as good as Deft, he will get angry.

"Thank you, brothers!" Ryu's eyes lit up.

With the tacit understanding among KT players, there is no need to communicate too much about tactics, as they explode in an instant!

Smeb controlled Fiora to rush into the fountain, poked Noxus and activated the Golden Body to protect himself. The golden light temporarily blocked the deadly rays in the fountain.

At the same time, Ryu's Leblanc and IMP's Kalista rushed into the fountain and exploded at the same time. The horrific damage instantly evaporated Noxus, who was extremely poorly developed but still had to buy output equipment!

The kill was taken by Enchanter.

Well, although IMP is careless, he is still very thoughtful and gave up his life specifically for Ryu.

The moment after Noxus was evaporated, KT's jungler and support cooperated with the minions to add the last bit of damage to the crystal, successfully ending the game before Fiora was killed instantly by the fountain.

"It's over! Three KT players rushed into the fountain and killed IPX's Noxus! GG!!!!!!!!!"

Accompanied by the traditional Korean commentator shouting GG, KT pushed down SKT's crystal, won the fourth game, and tied the score to 2:2, and the game entered the deciding game.

SKT lounge!
"Shake it! How dare those bastards do that! How dare they!"

Park Jae-yoon, who was as timid as a castrated chicken on the court, was as wild as a bull off the court. He was venting his anger on his chair.

Except for him, the rest of SKT members were silent, and no one dared to step forward to stop his behavior of vandalizing public property.

After all, his status in the team is even higher than that of the coach whose status has declined significantly after the acquisition of KESPA.

Li Xianghe coldly watched the incompetent rage of this so-called master, and suddenly found it ridiculous.

"Why am I forced to this point? Don't I have any idea?" he said softly in his heart.

Before the game, the media and spectators generally believed that SKT should have a significant advantage over KT.

After all, except for the bottom lane where IMP and deft are basically evenly matched, in everyone's perception, SKT has the advantage in other positions.

For example, KT's mid laner Ryu was kicked to the bench by Faker.

For example, in the top lane, it's impossible for me to be inferior to the newcomer smeb, right?
As a result, when the finals really started, Faker in the mid lane did a good job, always suppressing Ryu on the laning side, and his role in team fights was generally to suppress Ryu a little.

But the situation on the road was completely reversed.

One of the top five players in our great Glory, the Korean version of Han Wenqing, won a total of 15 MVPs in the spring season, far ahead of all his teammates, the legendary top laner, IPX
Got beaten by the rookie smeb.

Smeb used Fiora in one hand and Riven in the other to kill Park Jae-yoon without any chance of fighting back.

But Park Jae-yoon just wouldn't give in. The more he couldn't win, the more he wanted to show off his strength. He forced himself to equip output equipment and insisted on fighting.

The result was that it was naturally hit into a breakthrough.

Even though Lee Sang Hyuk and Kim Hyuk Kyu have already done their best, and even today Kim Hyuk Kyu had a burst of energy and slightly suppressed IMP.

Faced with the dilemma of being suppressed or even beaten every time in the top lane, it is difficult to do much.

After four games, they were able to tie the game at 2:2, which was the result of their all-out efforts.

"Next, it's time to pass on the blame," Li Xianghe thought to himself.

"Shui Guo" is a new word he learned when browsing the Hua Xia Alliance Forum, which means shirking responsibility.

He felt that this word was very appropriate to describe Park Jae-yoon.

"You sons of bitches, why don't you move towards the upper road? Why don't you come to support?"

Sure enough, the next moment, Park Jae-yoon completely ignored the common sense of not shaking the morale of the troops before the decisive battle, and turned around and started looking for problems with his teammates.

The first to be hit is the jungler Blank.

"Sun Jiu, why don't you come to the top lane to support more often? Can't you see that I, your brother, am being targeted by the opponent?" Park Jae Yun stared at Blank fiercely through his vicious squinting eyes.

Blank quickly lowered his head and explained himself in a low voice: "Brother Jaeyun, it was you who said that you wanted to beat the opponent's players and asked us not to come."

"I did say what's wrong with your brain, but the enemy jungler is here, don't you know how to be more flexible, you bastard!"

It was obvious that Park Jae-yoon would not accept such an explanation and continued to curse with a clear conscience.

Blank lowered his head and let the strong wind and rain hit him. He could only complain in his heart:

"The opposing jungler went to the top lane once, and by then you were already 0-3."

"If I don't help Brother Xiang He and Brother He Kui, I'm afraid I will lose this game even faster!"

However, as he had the lowest status in the team, he did not have the courage to question Park Jae-yoon's unreasonable behavior and could only accept it.

Lee Sang Hyuk and Kim Hyuk Kyu, who were watching coldly, looked at each other and suddenly found it ridiculous.

The final game is about to start, but he is still putting pressure on his teammates and shirking responsibilities. Is this what they call a meritorious veteran player?
How ridiculous...

Before the game started, Li Xianghe secretly took some time to watch the replay of the LPL finals in China.

He saw Ye Xiu from China, Jun Moxiao. He heard that he was one of the five great titles in China and should be a figure of this seat's level.

But from beginning to end, even though their female top laner, Soft Mist, who was even stronger than Smeb, didn't perform well, he didn't have any intention of putting pressure on his teammates.

On the contrary, he chose to carry all the pressure on his own shoulders and become the hero of the team!
Although it failed, this courage made Li Xianghe slightly dazed.

Perhaps, this is the demeanor that a veteran in the field of e-sports should have.

And Park Ben...

Li Xianghe didn't want to say anything more.

When Park Jae-yoon had almost finished venting his anger on Blank, the SKT coach finally had the courage to cautiously approach and ask:
"Mr. Park, the next round is a blind pick round. What should we choose?"

"Sword Princess! Of course Sword Princess!" Park Jae-yoon had no self-awareness at all, and was eager to try: "I'm going to teach that bastard a good lesson!"

You're also attending classes? Lee Sang Hyuk complained.

He did know that the legendary Sun Zheping, the champion support and top laner from the neighboring LPL, once claimed during the trash talk session that he would teach his opponent a lesson.

But he did fulfill his promise, sweeping Blue Rain, defeating Happy, and giving the two new generation top laners a little shock.

But, others can say that, what about you?

I'm afraid we'll be defeated head-on by the opponent again.

However, having reached such a desperate situation, Lee Sang-hyuk was in no mood to blame Park Bon. He was just thinking seriously about the next tactical arrangements.

In a sense, the seventeen-year-old Li Xianghe and the young Ye Xiu are very similar in one respect:
At critical moments, they only believe in themselves.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Zed? Sang Yu, are you sure you're serious?" KT coach was stunned when he heard Ryu's choice. Although Zed is not unselectable, some people did try to select him in the playoffs.

But the effect is basically diarrhea.

However, Liu Shangyu did not seem to have any intention of joking and answered seriously:
"That's right, bring me the robbery!"

"Earlier, when I was in the boot camp, in the final game that would decide who would start between me and the opposing player Faker, he used Zed and beat me."

"If possible, I also want to use my Jie to defeat him once."

Ryu doesn't hate Lee Sang Hyuk. He and Lee Sang Hyuk have a normal competitive relationship and there is no deep hatred.

Therefore, he would not be obsessed with humiliating Lee Sang-hyuk, and his abuse of the spring would only be directed at the inhuman Park Benzuo.

But the fact that he failed to win over Lee Sang-hyuk was a knot in his heart that he could not get rid of.

At this moment, if I could prove myself and defeat my inner demons on such a stage.

It will be a transformation.

Seeing his firm attitude, the coach didn't know what to say for a moment, but he still had concerns.

However, Liu Shangyu was even more anxious: "Coach, believe me, Faker must remember the grudge between us. Maybe he will also take Zed?"

Having said that, the coach couldn't say anything more. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just take the robbery!"

Anyway, after KESPA was merged, the training of e-sports coaches was completely interrupted. It was even far inferior to the glory next door which had no coaches, but at least it had a group of tactical masters.

Whether it is him or the coach of the opposing SKT, their coaching level is probably about the same as that of the championship coach if placed in the neighboring LPL.

Well, approximately equal to Zhang Wei.

“I can only hope that the opposing player Faker will also get carried away…”

however.

"Ryze? That's fine too. I'm very confident in your Ryze, Sang Hyuk!" SKT's coach nodded and bowed.

Otherwise, people say that Ye Xiu and Li Xianghe are very similar. They are both responsible for part of the team's tactical command.

Li Xianghe, who taught himself Chinese and has been in the League of Legends community in China for a while, has a very high level of technical and tactical skills.

However, the reason for choosing Ryze was not due to any tactical considerations. It was simply because Lee Sang-hyuk knew that he had to use his special skills at this time.

He used Ryze four times in the playoffs and won all four games, which is trustworthy.

Suddenly, a vague voice sounded in his mind:

"How about choosing robbery? That's also your special skill!"

Tribulation?
Li Xianghe shook his head in a strange way, getting rid of these incomprehensible thoughts from his mind.

No, in this version, choose Jie?

Looking for death?
Isn’t it nice to have Ryze?

I don't know which idiot would choose an assassin in a match of this level. Before going on the court, Li Xianghe thought a little boredly.

……

"No, there really is a choice?" Li Xianghe looked at the opponent's blind pick lineup. The mid laner was actually a Jie, and he was stunned.

Could it be that he had gone insane after being hit by that robbery I caused?
Apart from the fact that the opponent had secretly practiced a unique skill, the only thing Li Xianghe could think of was the game in the training camp.

Ryu actually remembers it now?

Li Xianghe shook his head in a daze and put these complicated thoughts aside.

No matter why he chose robbery.

If he dares to choose, I will teach him a lesson!
the other side.

"Ryze?!" Liu Shangyu was also dumbfounded.

He was so obsessed with his second-year syndrome that he fully expected Faker to use his unique skill, Zed, to have a thrilling double-Zed battle.

What happened? The opponent didn't realize this at all, and his best skill now is his 100% win rate Ryze.

After becoming bored, Liu Shangyu immediately felt the difficulty of the next game.

Faker's Ryze is famous.

One hundred percent winning rate, unique strength.

However, he chose Jie in almost the opposite version.

"Shang Yu... don't think too much about this. I will help you get back at justice!"

Forcing himself to hold back his laughter, Smeb patted Ryu's shoulder through the jungler.

After this BO5, his self-confidence was completely knocked out by Park Jae-yoon.

I am one of the top men in Korean e-sports... That's it?
Cook like a master!
Moreover, he didn’t know how to restrain himself after being beaten so many times, and even dared to choose Fiora in the last game!
It's just like delivering food.

Even if the guy in the middle lane gets carried away and chooses a Zed, he has enough confidence that he can make up for it with the advantage of the top lane!
He is the strongest top laner in South Korea, not the guy on the opposite side who is just a name in name only!

As for IMP, he didn't care about it at all. He just looked at Deft on the opposite side excitedly: "I must teach him a lesson today!"

Game start.

As Smeb expected, there was also a gap in the internal battle between Fiora and Riven.

In the first wave of blood exchange, Park Jae-yoon suffered a small loss, as if his Fiora naturally had one more flaw than Smeb.

Only level three——

"First Blood!"

"Solo kill! In the duel between two top Fiora players, it was the young player Smeb who gained the advantage first!" the commentator shouted.

Under normal circumstances, they would have to say a few words for Park Jae-yoon.

But given the current situation, how do you ask them to return Park Jae-yoon-won?
Same hero, same starting equipment, same runes...it's almost a mirror image.

As a result, at level 3, the great Park was killed by the fledgling Smeb.

The fact that Park Jae-yoon's Fiora was described as "top-notch" was already a way for the commentators to save face while holding back their disgust.

After this solo kill, Smeb's torture of IPX continued.

The level of the people themselves is not enough, the economy is backward, and the mentality is broken.

Smeb beating him is like a father beating his son.

During this period, under Park Jae-yoon's hysterical roar, SKT jungler Kang Sun-kyu gritted his teeth and provided support.

Then in a two-on-two situation, they were traded zero for two.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt that KT was going to overthrow SKT and get a ticket to MSI.

However, when he reached level eight, Faker exploded.

The reason why Ryze is so terrifying is that in the hands of someone who is skilled enough, as long as it reaches the mid-game, a wave of spells can burst out almost uninterruptedly.

In addition, Ryze has a skill that can strongly control a single point. Once the opponent is hit, he will be punished to death without any resistance.

When KT's jungler Digger received a wave of money from Park Jae-yoon and moved towards the middle lane with great pride, a two-on-one fight between him and Yoo Sang-wook ended with him being controlled to death.

Even though Liu Shangyu, who had some reservations, had carefully avoided Ryze's outbreak at level 3, the situation inevitably got out of control at level 8.

Faker was killing like crazy.

With the top lane as the core, all teams are studying the solo-lane version, except SKT, which has been moving against the version because it cannot play a solo-lane hero in the top lane.

Faker cannot change the current situation, but he can change himself.

Solo kill, capture, team fight, team wipe...

Every spell seemed to contain anger, and no one knew who this anger was directed at.

"It's unstoppable! The troops are already pushing the crystal! SKT has lived up to everyone's expectations! They will be the champions of the LCK Spring Split!"

"Faker, the young player who just debuted, proved himself in the decisive battle that decided his fate!"

"GG!——"

The moment the crystal broke, Faker leaned back in his chair as if he had collapsed, breathing heavily.

In a trance, it seemed as if something was hiding in the dark and staring at me.

Vicious and jealous.

　The second update. Today it's still 10,000. I think I'm doing my best for everyone.
