Chapter 231: Li Xianghe's hands are shaking
I have to say, SKT's schedule is really weird.

The first game against Flash Wolves was supposed to be a warm-up match to build confidence, but due to ridiculous misunderstandings and arrogance due to underestimating the enemy, they were stole the game by Flash Wolves in a rush of excitement.

Maple's strength can definitely not be said to be an international first-tier midfielder, even in his peak period he was far from qualified.

The best proof is that he is from another world and is wandering around in LPL.

But even so, SKT's underestimation of him was a bit too much.

After all, he is the online core of Flash Wolves, a tough guy with the same status as Karsa in the team, so he must be quite capable.

You release heroes and practice the lineup, so it's no wonder that others can turn the tables for you.

But if there are some off-field factors for SKT's first defeat, so that LCK fans can still comfort themselves,
Then losing to G2 in the second game really made them start to panic.

I have to say, SKT has been really unlucky this year.

While their own lineup is not very good except for the double C, the opponents they encounter are more terrifying than the last.

Even because this time and space itself has a bit of a hodgepodge flavor, two generations of anti-Korean heroes are actually put together!

You know, after the legend of Flash Wolves gradually came to an end, the second team that became recognized as the anti-Korean hero was G2.

Even compared to Flash Wolves, who can only create miracles in BO1, their true colors are inevitably revealed when it comes to the long BO5, when the team's foundation is truly tested.

G2 has defeated all the strong teams in LCK in BO5.

In S9, they beat DWG and SKT all the way to the finals. In S10, although they lost to the peak big turtle, they also took away the base.

Facing LPL, it was 8:3 in the S2 knockout stage... um, let’s not talk about that for now.

Even in S14, they were still able to fight the powerful T1 to the decisive round.

All in all, this guy has some knowledge of metaphysics when facing the South Korean team.

Especially when facing a South Korean team whose personnel configuration is not so complete.

Coincidentally, the current SKT’s configuration is really not that good.

So, in the second round, SKT unfortunately suffered again.

A year ago, Carlos, watching the League of Legends introduction released by Pei Yunteng himself on the screen and realizing that he might be able to realize his dream of owning an e-sports team on this new game, probably would not have thought that
In his first year, he built a team that was destined to go down in history.

On one side is G2, whose members are all in their prime, with a complete lineup and high morale.

On the other side was SKT, which had just been hit hard by Flash Wolves, had low morale and obvious loopholes in its lineup.

G2 had a great time in this game.

They had already awakened their whole living cells in this life, and had already been blatantly tweeting mockery before the game even started.

"It is known that EU>NA."

"It is also known that SKT and C9 fought back and forth."

"So, G2＞SKT, the proof is established!"

As we all know, LEC and LCS have always been prone to conflict.

In the first game of the competition, ten hot-blooded warriors from C9 and G2 fought for forty minutes with the most unmanageable style of play, resulting in nearly a hundred kills.

In the end, G2 won the game which almost turned into a melee with a very slight advantage.

They were so proud of themselves that they immediately did something very G2-like on Twitter.

LCK fans are so angry. They can only hope that SKT can recover quickly and regain their advantage on the court.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen.

The double C combination of the fledgling CAPS and perks, who just debuted and played the AD position, may not be able to compare with the Mapo Duo in terms of real strength.

But it is the same as the situation in the middle lane of Fanhua. Even if the strength is slightly inferior, it is still very easy to not fall behind with the overall leadership of the team.

Not to mention that this time Faker and Deft's mentality was a little unstable due to the failure in the previous game.

In this game, the young Xiao Mao proved his worth in front of the equally young Ju Fei.

He played extremely boldly and unrestrainedly, not following any routine at all. He made himself happy but tortured the young Li Xianghe severely.

He had never fought against an opponent who loved to play tricks so much in his life.

In addition to the two core positions, the other three players of G2 are no ordinary players.

Although each of them has obvious flaws, their shining points are also very prominent.

Just like the jungler Jankos, although he is a comedian, his strength is unambiguous at all.

Hitting Blank, and a Blank whose mind is unstable, is almost a sure thing.

If SKT can spend enough time to thoroughly study G2's tactics, they may have a chance of winning.

After all, G2's weaknesses are as prominent as their strengths, and it is not too difficult to target their overly unrestrained style.

However, SKT has been plagued by internal strife during this period, and most of the limited research time has been taken up by Fanhua, an overly powerful imaginary enemy.

As a result, when they faced G2, they were not as well prepared as C2, who were jealous of G9.

The result of various factors is that SKT lost again.

The performance of the two Cs was still very impressive, Lee Sang-hyuk had 5/2/7, Kim Hyuk-kyu had 6/2/5, and all of them died in large group battles in the later stages, so it can be said that their performance was impeccable.

However, there is no way to help the team win.

Watching G2 bulldoze SKT's main base with their faces lit up amidst laughter and joy,

Li Xianghe subconsciously stretched out a hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but found that his hands, which were born as an e-sports genius and were extremely stable and flexible, were trembling slightly.

Lost again.

This time there were no excuses, no mistakes, and no contempt for the enemy.

But still lost.

My performance wasn’t bad, and neither was He Kui, but we just couldn’t win.

why?

Li Xianghe couldn't figure it out.

However, what he couldn't figure out was still to come.

SKT has already encountered both anti-Korean teams, so logically speaking, the next schedule should be easier for them.

However, even if Tencent Esports could swear on their conscience, they definitely had no intention of deliberately making things difficult for SKT.

The schedule still played a cruel joke on them. The first game of the second day of the first round of the competition, SKT's third game, against their opponent, Fanhua.

The big devil that they had racked their brains to study for a long time and had never lost a small game so far.

Even though Park Jae-yoon has been beaten to the point of being a foil, it doesn't mean that Sun Zheping will let him go.

What's the point of bullying him in the competition?
If you want to beat them, you have to beat them in the main competition!

When the Sword Princess of Flowers was transferred from Zhao Yang to Sun Zheping for the first time, both the scene and the various live broadcast rooms were in a carnival at the same time.

As a super strong team that has dominated all small-game wins since the start of the MSI, it also has the most gorgeous and entertaining offensive playing style.

Fans and bloggers from all regions have already studied all of Fanhua’s past games thoroughly.

When people knew that Fanhua also had a unique skill of switching from a support to a top laner and killing people, everyone was looking forward to the day when this truly unparalleled sword would be unsheathed.

However, no one expected that the first team to draw out this magic sword would be SKT, whose record was not very good.

But no matter what, it’s out, so just enjoy it.

As it turned out, everyone’s wait was not in vain.

In terms of Fiora's offensive strength and operational entertainment, the only person in the world who can compare with Sun Zheping is Tang Rou, who has been practicing hard day and night since being defeated by him.

Maybe Smeb from LCK can be counted half, but who told him to make a mistake as the mid laner and blindly pick Zed in the deciding game, giving the team the chance to win?

All in all, the only difference between this game and the previous training matches is that the training matches will not be played to the end in order to leave no traces, but the main matches will be played to the end.

The top lane was completely destroyed, and the bottom and middle lanes could only guarantee that they would not be completely suppressed. They also had to be wary of Zhao Yang's roaming. Mo Fan's walk through Xiao Hei's jungle was like crossing the street in the early morning...

Even though Fanhua was very restrained for the sake of her international image, she did not abuse the fountain or dance with provocative expressions.

The gap in this game is still extremely terrifying.

If Lee Sang Hyuk still had the energy to reflect on what he did wrong after the last match,
In this battle, he was completely beaten to the point where he could no longer think.

He didn't even remember how he got back to the conference room.

Even he, the most determined member of the team, showed such confusion, let alone the other team members.

The little assistant effort lowered his head and didn't dare to look forward at all.

In all three games, he had the worst statistics.

Especially in the first game against Flash Wolves, as a support, I had to take on the responsibility of initiating a team fight, but the Flash Wolves lineup had extremely explosive damage.

After one game, he had ugly statistics of 0/7/4. Judging from the statistics alone, he was definitely the biggest breakthrough point.

Xiao Hei wanted to find a hole to crawl into. In three games, he was beaten three times by three different junglers, and his jungle became someone else's backyard.

As for Park Jae-yoon?
This guy has become completely numb. League of Legends has completely turned from the business he wanted to make bigger and stronger into a job where he just eats and waits for death.

All he has to do is sit on the field and fight his opponent with his own skills.

As for losing? Being beaten? Being humiliated by the opponent?

What does it have to do with me? I'm just a foil and a blue-collar worker.

At this moment, he was playing with his mobile phone. He was either checking social media to read fans' howling curses or playing games.

Everything has nothing to do with him, the abandoned man.

Li Xianghe suddenly felt a little desperate.

at this time--

"Sang Hyuk, come out with me." The coach patted Li Sang Hyuk on the shoulder.

Although he looked a little sad about losing the game, he felt much more relaxed than his teammates.

Li Xianghe followed him out numbly.

At the door, he saw SKT's manager, who was smiling broadly.

"Sang Hyuk, you have been performing really well recently. You are worthy of being our future star!"

As soon as the manager opened his mouth, Li Xianghe couldn't hold it anymore.

Yes, his statistics in the past few games are very good. In the first game, he played Lulu and did not die once. Even in the third game when facing the big devil Fanhua, he was only killed once by Xiye who suddenly broke out in the early stage, but he immediately fought back.

But we just started with three losses in a row?
Can you be a little more aware of your current situation?
He was in a very bad mood at the moment, so his words were a little bit harsh: "Thank you, manager, but now we have lost three games in a row. If we don't pay attention, we may be eliminated in the top six."

"Don't worry about that. We have done a thorough research on all the major teams. This is the official support from LCK."

The coach suddenly spoke, obviously quite confident about the upcoming game.

In their opinion, apart from Fanhua, which did have the hard power to suppress SKT, the other two teams were able to beat SKT more or less because of the first kill.

Do your research well and win, it won't be a problem.

"Compared to this, Sang Hyuk, I think you should be concerned about something else right now." The manager smiled attentively.

"What's the matter?" Upon learning that there had been progress in research on other teams, Li Xianghe's brows relaxed slightly and he became more patient.

"You and He Kui's performances have fully proved that our team building strategy is correct. Being able to discover two outstanding young people like you in the training camp proves our success."

"But we still haven't been able to achieve results in the world competition. This shows that apart from you, there is indeed a problem with our lineup."

"You can pick anyone on this list, as long as they will be your teammates in the summer season."

Substitution? Li Xianghe unfolded the list with some doubt, and then his eyes slowly froze.

There are many familiar names on this list.

Some of them were my teammates in the youth training camp.

But more than that, there are opponents.

mata, wolf, marin, duke, bengi, beryl...

Some of these IDs are newcomers who have achieved outstanding results in the secondary leagues, while others are the core pillars of those bottom-ranked teams.

Some of them are in the youth training camp and have a promising future.

This is not support from SKT.

This is help for the entire LCK.

　The second update is here. Good night everyone.

　　Give me some monthly tickets.
