Chapter 201 Some people cultivate, some people create gods
"Xiao Zhao just came back from studying in South Korea. She is fluent in Japanese, Korean and other languages. During the MSI, she will be mainly responsible for interviewing teams from other regions in East Asia."
Wei Chen briefly introduced this new host who had just joined the team to Fanhua, his tone full of boasting.
It can only be said that as the older generation of e-sports players, people like Wei Chen and Zhang Jiale who have been playing for many years have witnessed what e-sports was like in the primitive era with their own eyes.
Niche and subculture are labeled as not doing the right thing and are confined to Internet cafes, which are considered to be a shady place in the eyes of mainstream public opinion.
Most of the participants were unemployed vagrants and marginalized people in society who hung out in Internet cafes, smoking cigarettes and not caring about their appearance.
The word "decent" has nothing to do with them.
The gradual formalization of the Honor Professional League has improved this situation, but not completely.
After all, he has taken the idol route and made a lot of money, but his social recognition is not high.
But now, everything is different.
It has to be said that, at least in the eyes of these older generations of e-sports people, Tenghai is really like a beacon that illuminates the future of e-sports.
Take Wei Chen for example. If he initially chose to cling to the official’s support out of personal interests,
Now, he has really decided to fight for the future and glory of e-sports.
Having personally witnessed the growth and changes of China's e-sports industry over the years, he is the person who can best feel these changes, and the person who cherishes and loves this era the most.
He was deeply moved by this and was happy to show off this change to other old guys.
For example, there are outstanding younger generations around us who are emerging like mushrooms after rain.
It’s not because he himself didn’t even finish junior high school. Standing next to these highly educated people makes him feel a little more cultured.
Absolutely not!
Compared to Xia An's youthful liveliness, Zhao Enjing's personality is gentler and more stable, and she has a calm aura.
Maybe it’s because of the influence of South Korea, she dresses more maturely.
All in all, it's very pleasing to the eye.
"Hello, hello!" Zhang Jiale shook hands with Zhao Enjing while secretly rolling his eyes at Wei Chen beside him.
No, what does their excellence have to do with a 30-year-old illiterate like you?
Look at this beautiful guy.
Wei Chen ignored Zhang Jiale's contempt and started to instruct the young people.
As expected of him being from Blue Rain, his ability to lead newcomers is truly top-notch.
……
Almost at the same time, South Korea, Seoul International Airport.
"Brother Sang Hyuk, it's almost time to get on the plane." SKT's jungler, Blank Kang Sun Goo patted the shoulder of Lee Sang Hyuk who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
"Got it." Li Xianghe opened his eyes, sat up, and nodded to his teammates.
Suddenly remembering something, he couldn't help but remind her, "Shanjiu, you don't have to call me brother. There's no need to be so restrained."
Although he was born in South Korea, Lee Sang-hyuk is not impressed by the country's deep-rooted culture of hierarchy.
In his proud opinion, being two years older is not enough reason for a person to act arrogantly in front of others.
He doesn't like others to oppress him, so naturally he has no interest in oppressing others.
However, Blank shook his head: "Brother, it's okay, I wanted to shout."
"Brother, you take such good care of me in the team, so what's wrong with calling me brother?"
Li Xianghe looked at him like this, and his expression was a little complicated.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw SKT's support effort coming up to him and taking his luggage very naturally.
"Don't--" Before Li Xianghe could say anything to stop him, he saw the little assistant smiling at him awkwardly, and carrying Li Xianghe's big backpack on his back.
"It's okay bro, I'll help you carry it."
Li Xianghe didn't know what to say for a while, and stood there in a daze. After a long time, he sighed softly with a complicated expression.
Is this... the feeling of being praised to the sky?
Ever since he defeated Park Jae-yoon in the spring finals and won the crucial FMVP trophy, Lee Sang-hyuk found that his life had become completely different.
News featuring him began to dominate the pages of major e-sports forums in South Korea, and his FMVP received almost unprecedented discussion heat.
You know, in the past, let alone such a craze, even the most ordinary news reports and interview opportunities, Park Jae-yoon would occupy at least most of them in the SKT team.
But this time, everything was left to the new FMVP.
And the situation is getting worse and worse.
Soon, the ID Faker showed signs of becoming South Korea's new e-sports idol.
So much so that when Lee Sang-hyuk wants to go downstairs to buy something, he has to carefully disguise himself to avoid being recognized by his fanatical fans.
In addition to the earth-shaking changes in external public opinion, the atmosphere within the SKT team has also undergone significant changes.
The first one is Park Jae-yoon.
Logically speaking, Lee Sang-hyuk took away the highest individual honor in the Spring Finals, and also robbed him of a large amount of media resources.
With this guy's rebellious character, he should have fallen out with Lee Sang-hyuk long ago.
But the fact is just the opposite. After the Spring Finals, this guy became more honest than ever before.
Not only was he friendly and easy to get along with in front of Lee Sang-hyuk himself, but his attitude was also much better when he met the young people in the SKT team. He would not curse or act bossy easily.
It was as if the painful five-game finals in the spring finals had awakened this guy.
But Lee Sang-hyuk knew very well what kind of person this guy was. He had been losing for the entire playoffs, so how could he be so quiet after just one final?
But no matter what, as long as Park Jae-yoon doesn't cause trouble, the entire team atmosphere and living environment of SKT will suddenly become different.
The ones who benefited the most from this were the two junglers and supporters who originally had the lowest status.
They also know very well that the improvement in their living environment was brought to them by Li Xianghe.
And Lee Sang-hyuk has now soared to fame.
As a result, their attitude towards Lee Sang-hyuk also changed.
In the past, although he admired Sang Hyuk very much, after all, they were of the same age, rookies in the same class, and were both suppressed by the big mountain Park Jae Yoon, so the relationship between them was still close.
And now, when they faced Li Xianghe, there was a hint of respect in their eyes unconsciously.
Usually, she is very considerate and takes care of some of Lee Sang-hyuk's daily chores, just like she did for Park Jae-yoon before.
This reminded Li Xianghe of a sentence he saw from a Chinese netizen when he was browsing the Chinese forum:
"There's already a tragically thick barrier between us."
In general, Lee Sang-hyeok has just won a remarkable honor, his fan base has skyrocketed, he has many supporters, and his status in the team has also risen. This should be the time when he is most proud.
But he just couldn't like this kind of life.
updated.
First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone and allow me to quibble.
I reviewed all night last night, took an exam this morning, and wrote a report this afternoon.
My whole mind is now confused.
I can't concentrate at all, and my mind is almost distracted.
That's why it was delayed until so late.
I will try to write another two thousand later to make a total of four thousand.
The dregs from these days will be made up after I finish the exam.
Kneel down.
