Chapter 234: Assimilated or Abandoned (Part )

Fanhua could tell from watching the video that SKT's condition was not right, not to mention SKT itself.

As early as in the previous few games, Li Xianghe had keenly noticed that something was wrong.

Although SKT also used the main double C strategy before, Blank paid too much attention to the middle lane.

So much so that sometimes, even though other lanes had already created opportunities, he still foolishly lurked in the middle lane.

However, since the three consecutive losses, SKT has been winning, including defeating G2, C9 and Flash Wolves before.

The joy of victory has to some extent obscured this problem.

But after being beaten up again by Fanhua, it was no longer realistic to cover it up.

Seeing the bizarre scene where his teammates were willing to sacrifice their lives and victory in order to deal more damage, Lee Sang-hyeok's veins bulged as he keenly recalled the conversation after the three consecutive losses.

I would never believe that there was no management behind this scene.

So, after the game, when Fanhua was watching the video and playing around, Li Xianghe found Blank with a gloomy face.

As soon as he came up, before he could even open his mouth, Xiao Hei interrupted and said, "Brother, no need to ask, I took the initiative to agree to this fight."

"What does it mean to actively consent?"

"The coach and the others didn't threaten or bribe me. They just proposed it and I agreed on my own initiative."

Li Xianghe stared at Xiao Hei's eyes, trying to see some guilt or some other emotion in his eyes.

If Xiao Hei had hidden something from him, he would go to the management to get things cleared even if it meant he couldn't stay in SKT anymore.

But he only saw a kind of sincerity in Xiao Hei's eyes, as if he had seen through the world.

After a long time, Li Xianghe asked: "Why?" His voice was a little low.

"Because I don't think Sang Hyuk deserves to be treated like that because of this failure."

During this period, Xiao Hei personally experienced the cruelty of Korean e-sports.

Because his performance was not satisfactory and was considered one of the weaknesses of the team, he was widely criticized on the Internet in South Korea.

It is completely different from the forums that are just starting out in China. The vicious curses in South Korea do have a certain deterrent effect.

There is never a shortage of lunatics in that country.

After being treated like this, some people will go into darkness, just like the saying that if you get caught in the rain, you will tear up other people's umbrellas.

Another group of people, however, will choose to prevent others from repeating their mistakes.

It’s not that Xiao Hei hasn’t thought about becoming the former, but that’s Lee Sang Hyuk.

He is not only the big brother who burned himself out and led everyone to win the championship and enter the world competition, but also a good friend who takes good care of me in life.

During the period when Park Jae-yoon was still powerful, if Lee Sang-hyuk and Kim Hyuk-kyu had not protected the two younger ones intentionally or unintentionally, they would have been bullied and developed psychological problems.

Xiao Hei saw how much Li Xianghe wanted to win and how hard he tried in every game.

But the audience won’t care about these. They will only praise the contestants if they win and scold them if they lose. As for what will happen to the contestants after they vent their emotions, that has nothing to do with them.

Xiao Hei doesn't want his good brothers to suffer the same fate as himself.

Therefore, when the coach found him, he agreed to the coach's request almost without hesitation.

Of course, he doesn't have such a good compatibility with Lee Sang-hyuk as his stupid senior who is currently wasting time in a weak team.

But with protection at all costs, and with Lee Sang-hyuk himself doing his best for advancement and victory during this period, they did achieve a similar effect.

This made Xiao Hei very happy.

"Brother Xianghe, you don't have to lie to me. In the summer season, Effort and I will probably be traded or demoted, right?" Xiao Hei looked straight into Li Xianghe's eyes.

This was completely different from his usual shy and unconfident self, who rarely looked people in the eye. Li Xianghe was speechless.

He has indeed been persuaded by the coach and management and is ready to cooperate with their reinforcement efforts.

But standing in front of the victim of this decision, as a friend, he now felt his cheeks burning.

At this time, it was Xiao Hei who laughed first: "It's okay, Brother Xianghe, this is the most appropriate decision!"

"Maybe if we switch to a team with less pressure, Xianghao and I can develop better!"

"We are champions after all. If we go to a weaker team, our tactical position will be higher. We may even have our own fans by then. Why not go?"

Li Xianghe nodded with difficulty. This was the truth, but he just felt something was wrong.

He struggled to turn the topic back to the game just now: "But don't you think the style of play in the last game was a bit too much?"

"How can we win against Fanhua like this?"

"Brother, if we don't fight like that, can we win?" Xiao Hei asked back.

"Let's study it further..." Even though he was a little unsure, Li Xianghe naturally would not admit defeat.

“But if you lose, brother, you will be blasted by fans just like us.” Xiao Hei shook his head.

"I heard there's a saying in China that goes, 'Before you think about victory, you must think about defeat.'"

"Instead of pinning your hopes on the extremely slim chance of victory, it is better to be prepared to end the battle if the results are not satisfactory."

"As for Fanhua, after we strengthen the roster in the summer season, you can win it back for us, right?"

……

Xiao Hei went back to his room.

Only Li Xianghe was left standing there in a daze.

He seemed to have asked everything, but also seemed to have asked nothing.

Something was wrong, and it kept lingering in his mind, unable to be shaken off.

Just then, the door opened.

Park Jae-yoon hummed a little tune and walked in with a swagger, but saw Sang-hyuk sitting there in a daze. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud:

"What's wrong? Is this autism?"

Since being completely abandoned, although Park Jae-yoon has become completely honest in the game, he no longer hides his true nature outside of the game.

Although it is unlikely that he will continue to do 80 with his current status in the team, his bad character of being vicious, sharp-tongued, and gloating is still annoying.

Just like now, when I saw Lee Sang Hyuk, the first sentence he said was so irritating.

"You seem to be helping very hard. Did the management give you any benefits?" Li Xianghe glanced at him.

If it was understandable that Xiao Hei was willing to protect him on the field, then it was a supernatural event that the guy in front of him would actually take the initiative to come forward to help.

But that's the fact. Park Jae-yoon even worked harder than the jungler and support on the field. He risked his life countless times to start team fights and protect the carry. Passersby could only shed tears when they saw how high his performance was.

It seems that the management must have promised him something, which made him work so hard for his enemy who destroyed everything he originally had.

However, when Park Jae-yoon heard Li Xianghe's question, he smiled strangely:
"What if I say, no?"

　First update haha.

　　Damn, this life is really not a human life. I visited six factories yesterday morning and four educational bases today.

　　Right now my whole body is aching and numb, so there will be less update today and I will make up for it tomorrow.
