Chapter 263 You are Eunjeong and also a disaster (Part )
When Lee Sang-hyuk just expressed his evaluation of the e-sports community in Korea and South Korea, Zhao Eun-jung was a little scared.

A Korean, in a foreign interview program, openly criticized Korea for making poor products and saying they were not as good as China’s?

Why does it feel like the Korean version of "Yilin"?

Is this broadcastable?

Before interviewing Lee Sang Hyuk, Zhao Enjing went to find Mr. Wei Chen, who is known as a know-it-all, to ask him about the precautions of Korean e-sports.

Teacher Wei, who loves to teach, naturally answered her question enthusiastically, but there was just one small problem.

That is, Mr. Wei’s information is still stuck in the most glorious era of South Korean e-sports.

So in his description, South Korea's e-sports is still a country with a complete system and many talented people.

Of course, Teacher Wei also knows that his information is a little outdated. After all, judging from SKT's performance in MSi, it is a little different from these two words.

So he added "for reference only" at the end of this "teaching".

Well, just for reference.

Therefore, when Zhao Enjing heard that Li Xianghe had unknowingly hinted at "Gou Hanjian" in his words and deeds, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, from the perspective of creating hype, she should continue to guide Lee Sang-hyuk to speak, and it would be best if he made some radical remarks, which would definitely cause a sensation in the country.

But Zhao Enjing is a kind person after all. She doesn't want to ruin the future of a 17-year-old boy for the sake of traffic.

I then subtly made up for him, "In other words, because the establishment of the Korean server and the construction of the community were a little later than the Chinese server, you had to adapt to the Chinese server first?"

He calmly attributed Lee Sang-hyuk's complaints about the Korean server to the fact that it was launched late and was slightly behind.

Li Xianghe was stunned for a moment, then he shuddered and cold sweat broke out from his whole body like a floodgate opening.

After Zhao Enjing said this, he immediately realized how much controversy his words could cause in South Korea.

Maybe the next day someone will send him this "essence" a dead mouse.

If he could remain calm as usual, he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

But for some reason, he seemed a little dizzy during the interview.

"...Ah, yes, that's what I meant. Later, when the development of the Korean server gradually caught up, I went back to play."

After looking at Zhao Enjing with gratitude for helping him out, Li Xianghe quickly backed down.

The storm finally dissipated into thin air.

……

A lot of conversation took place during the following interview. Lee Sang-hyuk showed great patience, unlike his usual stinginess with time during business activities.

Moreover, he answered almost every question asked by Zhao Enjing.

The interview went quite smoothly.

However, in terms of effect, Zhao Enjing still felt that something seemed to be missing.

After secretly observing Li Xianghe's condition, she understood.

Lee Sang Hyuk is too pretentious.

This might be the first time for the 17-year-old boy to accept such an international interview. He seemed a little nervous and even acted too seriously in front of the camera.

This kind of interview attitude is naturally good in the post-match interview and the like, but in an interview like this that aims to show his personal charm as a player, it seems a little bit abrupt.

There is a little sense of distance between it and the audience, and it doesn't feel lifelike enough.

How can we make this child relax and show something more relaxed?
Zhao Enjing thought for a while, and when she was about to finish asking all the questions, she suddenly had an idea.

Zhao Enjing thought of the most famous professional players and anchors in the country, such as Ye Xiu, Zhang Jiale and the like.

When they were just professional players, they all put on airs in front of the audience, and the relationship between them was more like that between idols and fans.

But since they started live streaming, their image has quickly transformed into the more approachable Lao Ye and Lao Le.

She had an idea.

When the formal interview session came to an end and the recording was almost finished, she suddenly asked, "What are Faker's plans for next?"

Of course Li Xianghe has made arrangements. He has been training intensively every day these days to deepen the coordination with his new teammates.

But when the five words "I'm going to train" came to his lips, he forcibly replaced them with: "Not very busy, what's up?"

"That's good." Zhao Enjing covered her mouth and chuckled.

“It’s like this. If possible, I hope Faker can play two games in front of the camera.”

"This way we can also record you while playing the game and present a more three-dimensional image of you to the audience."

"You don't have to play at a very high level, even a free-for-all will do."

Oh, so you wanted to record yourself playing games. Li Xianghe suddenly realized.

It is indeed a very reasonable request. Eun Jung is worthy of being the host. Her professional ability is really good.

But for some reason, Li Xianghe felt a little disappointed.

It's a bit of a "that's it?" feeling.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhao Enjing quickly asked, "Is there anything inconvenient for Faker?"

Li Xianghe waved his hands hurriedly: "That's not the case, it's just——"

"Just what?" Zhao Enjing looked at the bewildered boy curiously.

Looking at the lively eyes staring at him with inquiry, Li Xianghe was a little dazed.

For some reason, he suddenly said, "If possible, can we play in a duo together?"

He was stunned when he said this, and then his face turned red.

Lee Sang Hyuk, Lee Sang Hyuk, what nonsense are you talking about?

As for Eun Jung, she was also a little surprised at first.

But when she saw Li Xianghe's blushing face, she came to her senses and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This little boy was still a little nervous, and subconsciously wanted to find someone to rely on...

All that can be said is that at the age of seventeen, all of Lee Sang Hyuk's reactions, in Zhao Eun Jung's view, were just the shyness and nervousness of a boy of this age.

"Okay!"

"Contestant Eunjeong, that's not what I meant... Huh? What did you say?" Lee Sang-hyuk was still apologizing and trying to make amends, but when he heard Zhao Eunjeong agree so readily, he suddenly doubted his ears.

But Zhao Enjing didn't take it seriously:

"But let me make it clear first, my level of League of Legends is just that of an average player. I definitely can't be ranked with top players like you in the ranking competition."

"It's okay! I have a trumpet!"

……

After a period of commotion, Lee Sang-hyuk finally got his wish and started the game with Cho Eun-jung.

They played in a duo row at the Silver level on the Chinese server, because Zhao Enjing is a local at this level.

As soon as he heard that he was going to play for silver, Li Xianghe's confidence immediately increased.

He is the top professional player in Baseball, so how can he not bully a few young players?
When he learned that Zhao Enjing usually played bottom lane in League of Legends, he immediately volunteered to partner with her in the bottom lane.

Seeing that Li Xianghe seemed to finally relax, he became more active and even had a relaxed smile on his face,
Zhao Enjing was very satisfied with the relaxation he showed and readily agreed.

After Zhao Enjing had chosen a hero for herself, she turned to ask Li Xianghe: "What hero does Faker want to play?"

What hero to play?
What's the point of playing in the silver division if not just killing people?

Faker thought about it, and suddenly a sense of pride rushed to his head. He moved the mouse and moved the cursor to the "Random" button. "I'm fine with either. Just pick a random one."

Zhao Enjing did not doubt his ability: "Okay, then just do it randomly."

So, Li Xianghe pressed the random button with full confidence.

Then...

"Nothing can repel me!"

A familiar bull head appeared in Li Sang-hyuk's hero column.

Alistar, the Minotaur Chieftain.

Li Xianghe's silly smile froze, and then his face turned embarrassed.

As the saying goes, the canyon is full of ghosts, and Brother Li plays Minotaur.

Like Ye Xiu, the legendary mid laner in the neighboring national server, Li Xianghe also has his terminally ill hero, which is Minotaur.

And it’s different from Ye Xiu’s Nasus. Although it’s torturous for Ye Xiu to play Nasus, his level is impeccable. As long as other teammates play seriously, his combat power is not much lower than his other heroes.

And Lee Sang Hyuk’s bull head…

The main theme is to save the dying and the wounded, give roses to others, and leave a lingering fragrance.

He even studied W at level one for a long time.

His Minotaur skills have been criticized a lot in the Korean server. Basically, whenever he encounters this situation, his opponents will open champagne and his teammates will wail.

However, Li Xianghe himself is not completely ignorant of writing skills. He also knows that his bull head is basically just a toy for fun.

But in the end, she has to assist Eun Jung in hosting such an important competition?

Li Xianghe was a little panicked.

"What's wrong? Is it that Chief Bullhead isn't very skilled at playing?" Zhao Enjing asked considerately.

It is normal for a mid laner to not be proficient in supporting heroes. At worst, you can just change one.

But it would have been fine if she didn't ask. Once she asked, Li Xianghe's damn stubborn spirit burst out: "It's okay, it's just a bull head!"

I still don't believe it. Even if my proficiency with Minotaur is not high, can I still not beat Silver Boy?

……

I really can't beat him.

"Ah! Why is the hook of the opposite robot crooked?" Seeing the opposite robot was hooked, he quickly moved and tried to twist it away.

In the end, I don't know whether the robot predicted it or the hook was not thrown in the right place.
In short, the ridiculously crooked hook just happened to block Li Xianghe's path and hit the target.

After being hooked, knocked into the air, and ignited, Li Xianghe's ambition to lead his sister to score points was shattered by the first blood he gave away.

He was so ashamed that he almost died.

As everyone knows, the only one who can defeat Silver Boy is Gold or another Silver Boy.

In this section, all the common sense, rules, and game psychology that Li Xianghe is familiar with are no longer applicable.

The more he used the thinking of a professional player to predict, the more likely he would be beaten to a loss by Baiyinzai's wild imagination.

In addition, I was playing as Minotaur, so I didn’t even have the advantage of hero proficiency.

Even though Lee Sang-hyuk has tried very hard to restrain his actions and try to act like a normal person.

But it still looks so difficult.

Simply put, pure side effects.

However, in the end, this game was unexpectedly won.

Zhao Enjing C's.

To be able to become a host of LPL, you still need some basic understanding.

Although she seems to be only in the silver rank, that is because she is busy with work and has fewer games.

If we really talk about strength, it is still worth about gold.

And as everyone knows, the noble gold players are the biggest enemies of the silver players.

Besides, no matter how bad Brother Li is, his basic skills are still there, and he is still very capable in placing wards.

The result was that as soon as he helped the girl to gain points, he encountered a counter-attack, and Li Xianghe became the girl who was carried away.

When the crystal exploded, the boy's brain was overloaded and he was grinning foolishly in shame.

But Zhao Enjing was quite satisfied, this state was right.

In this chaotic qualifying match, Lee Sang-hyuk showed his genuine and lovely side, which perfectly complemented his serious look during the interview.

It seems that after this interview is edited, the effect will be good.

"You performed very well, contestant Sang Hyuk!" Feeling better, Zhao Enjing addressed Lee Sang Hyuk in a more affectionate way.

Li Xianghe looked at his Minotaur with a score of 0/5/11 and didn't understand how it was good.

But Zhao Enjing said so, and suddenly, his mood improved. After a while.

"What are you doing?" Li Xianghe ended the call with some reluctance and walked out of the room, but he was shocked when he saw four pairs of eyes that had been waiting for a long time looking at him in unison.

"Sang Hyuk, how is it?" Bengi, the oldest one, asked first with a smirk on his face.

This is the disadvantage of not having any airs. People like Bengi, who have some age advantage, have no psychological pressure at all when making fun of Lee Sang Hyuk.

The other three followed the leader and ate melons, looking like they were enjoying the fun.

"What can it be? It's just a normal interview!" Li Xianghe spread his hands, looking like "I'm just doing my job."

However, the corners of his mouth, which were harder to suppress than AK, still made the other four people roll their eyes in unison.

It's still official business.

However, even if they tried to dig deep, they couldn't get anything out of Li Xianghe.

Not to mention that the 17-year-old boy's mouth was harder than obsidian, Lee Sang-hyuk himself actually didn't realize what kind of situation he was in.

But that day, his mood was indeed a little excited.

The SKT players who failed to pry open his mouth booed in disappointment.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to training!" Although he didn't understand what they were making a fuss about, Li Xianghe instinctively felt that these bad guys were targeting him.

His face immediately turned red and he hurriedly urged everyone to go for training.

The interview and ranking with Eunjung have already taken up quite a bit of time, so I have to complete today’s task!

However, while waiting for the training match to start, Lee Sang Hyuk suddenly asked Kim Hyuk Kyu: "Where is the S-League held?"

When Jin Hekui heard this question, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he answered seriously: "Huaxia, it will be held in multiple cities, and the finals will be held in the Bird's Nest."

He also added, "It is said that in order to increase the interaction between regions, the cross-region interviews during the S game will be much more active than those during the MSi game."

"Much more active..." This sentence immediately made Li Xianghe imagine a lot.

In this case, if you can put in a convincing performance in the S game, you will also be interviewed by the LPL host, right?

So……

Later, according to the recollections of SKT legendary player Keria, the training match that day lasted until very late. Not only was the length of the match not reduced due to the interview, but an extra game was added on top of it, which made everyone miserable.

But for the first time ever, Brother Li bought them drinks as a token of consolation.

And it's one can per person, not one bottle for five people...

……

A few days later, LPL's interview with Lee Sang-hyuk was first broadcast in China.

The show was really good and amused many viewers.

"No, this bull-headed poet holds it!"

"Can this be a move by a professional player? Go towards the hook!"

"It turns out that only gold can defeat silver!"

"There's one more ghost in the canyon!"

"Oh right! I remember there was a mid laner named Hide on Bush in the high-ranking Chinese server. Minotaur was also pretty good! Maybe it was him!"

The contrast between his highlight performance at MSi and the scene where he was carried away by the girl during the interview was too obvious, and the show effect was maximized.

While the audience laughed wildly, they also remembered this somewhat immature and nervous Korean genius boy.

Under the guidance of Zhao Enjing, this interview further strengthened Lee Sang-hyuk's identity as an expert on China and his image as a future star with both talent and hard work.

Coupled with that cute contrast, Lee Sang Hyuk immediately attracted a lot of fans.

So much so that Xianyu Live is already considering whether or not to try to negotiate a live broadcast contract with SKT.

In addition to this, another person who has become somewhat popular is Zhao Enjing herself.

During the interview, she demonstrated strong professional skills, including excellent translation qualities and the ability to control the situation and maintain stability throughout the interview, which made the audience recognize this fledgling female host.

In that ranking match, he led the professional players and killed all the opponents. The scene was heroic and attracted countless fans.

Suddenly, his fame rose and he became a rising star among commentators and hosts.

The future is visibly bright.

As for the part where Lee Sang-hyuk let the cat out of the bag during the interview, it was not deleted directly because of the importance of the question itself.

But thanks to Zhao Enjing's timely rescue and Li Xianghe's quick reaction,

The vast majority of the audience did not realize that a rollover almost occurred here, and no one thought that there might be any gap between Lee Sang-hyuk and his division.

But, not everyone.

……

Tyranny Club.

"This speech..." Han Wenqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and was very interested. "This kid has a lot of opinions about his competition area!"

"Although South Korea was once a country founded on e-sports, it has not been able to inherit its past glory well after the arrival of the glory era."

Zhang Xinjie made this comment while checking the information.

"The Kespa organization was absorbed and some of its policies were no longer implemented."

"Especially because of the special competition system of Honor, the coaches have very little room to play, and each team has gradually eliminated coaching positions."

"As a result, the competition and training system that the Korean e-sports industry was most proud of was almost completely destroyed during the decades of its glory."

"In addition, the strict social hierarchy of South Korea has gradually invaded over the years. When the Korean server was launched, the environment was really bad."

Han Wenqing nodded, picked up the water cup and took a sip, then suddenly said:

"But I believe there is one thing that the current LCK has definitely inherited very well."

Zhang Xinjie understood what Han Wenqing meant and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be talking about——"

"Talent training system." Han Wenqing nodded.

LCK did struggle at MSI, but that doesn’t mean their players are bad, quite the opposite.

Not to mention Lee Sang-hyuk and Kim Hyuk-kyu, their performance as top C positions is hard to come by in any region.

It's Xiao Hei and Effort, who have been performing poorly all the way. In Han Wenqing's opinion, although their tactical thinking is a bit weak and their skills are a bit crude, they are also rare talents.

No matter how much Honor messes up, it will never completely mess up its talent selection system.

"If I'm not mistaken, the current LCK league should have a large number of young talents and a bright future." Han Wenqing's eyes were burning.

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Zhang Xinjie knew exactly what he meant:
Maybe Tyranny can do something about this.

Since they made up their minds to prepare for the S2 season of LPL, Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie have shifted their focus to League of Legends.

But precisely because of this, they can see more clearly the problems inherent in this current Tyranny team.

There is also a gap in talent.

Why in the original timeline did Tyranny buy so many Lao Dengs to compete for the championship?
It's similar to the F03 Lakers in 4, because their original ordinary players were not good enough.

Although the new generation also has talents like Song Qiying, one genius cannot change the current situation of Tyranny's lack of people.

There wasn't much problem with Tyranny's original lineup.

Although Song Qiying is Han Wenqing's successor, his personality is closer to Zhang Xinjie's. He is rigorous, serious, and well-planned.

As such, he finally chose to go into the jungle and became one of the jungle kings of LSPL.

When Tyranny is promoted to LPL, with Han Wenqing as the starting player, Song Qiying as the jungler, Zhang Xinjie as the support, and Bai Yanfei and Qin Muyun as the double Cs, it seems to be a good lineup.

But in Han Wenqing's opinion, it just lacks a little bit of competitiveness.

Not to mention Qin Muyun, his talent is indeed relatively limited. He is good at playing in low-end games, but easily fails in high-end games.

Although Bai Yanfei is good, he joined the internal test of Eternal Tribulation a few days ago and decided to go there and become a... vibrating sword monster?
I don't quite understand him.

So Tyranny was short of people.

And there is no good way to supplement it.

After all, compared to Tyranny, which relies on its old capital, the LPL clubs are now wealthy and have no shortage of money, so it is difficult for Tyranny to poach players from them.

And now, Han Wenqing seemed to vaguely see a path that he had never imagined.

"Xinjie, the league officials should not have any rules that forbid cheering in other competition areas, right?"

"Yes, but the requirement is that the number of foreign players in a team cannot exceed two." Zhang Xinjie had already memorized the rules of Tencent Esports.

"In that case, do you think they will be the answer to Tyranny?" Han Wenqing pointed to the computer screen.

Zhang Xinjie thought about it and said, "It's possible, but I have reservations."

For these old guys who have been fighting in the professional arena for many years, they can naturally see that the luxurious data and outstanding performance of the Mapo Double C are inflated.

The team has to keep fighting even if it means winning, so it's hard for the data to look bad.

It will still take a long time to observe the real strength of these two young men.

Han Wenqing nodded. He didn't intend to put all his hopes on a division that had just been beaten badly by Fanhua.

"Indeed, but if, one day, we really need young people from other regions to join us, what do you think will be the biggest difficulty?"

Zhang Xinjie thought for a moment and slowly uttered a word: "Public opinion."

China is not the White Eagle, and its tolerance towards outsiders is far from strong.

As a veteran team in the league, if Tyranny suddenly introduces players from other regions, it will definitely cause a certain degree of criticism.

Especially in a region like LCK, where MSi's performance is not considered the top region.

Why not use the Chinese genius and hire a foreigner? Is this worshipping foreign things?

Han Wenqing pondered for a while and nodded slowly.

As a captain who often represents the team in press conferences and interviews, he is well aware of the strange focuses and fragile glass hearts of fans.

He continued watching TV, watching the video of Cho Eun-jung interviewing Lee Sang-hyuk.

After watching for a while, I turned to watch MSi's game video.

I watched the semi-final match where G2 defeated SKT 3:0.

With no hope in sight, the three SKT players gave up all their tactics and just tried their best to protect the Mapo double C, striving to make sure they could leave the game in a dignified manner.

But how could the competitive Lee Sang-hyuk and Kim Hyuk-kyu tolerate such a cowardly act?

Many times, I couldn't help but rush out of my teammates' life-saving range, just to deal more damage and kills.

Han Wenqing watched silently. Coincidentally, the video footage was turned to the competition seats at this moment, and he happened to see the faces of the Mapo duo, which were a mixture of unwillingness, regret and desire.

They are out of tune with the region they are in.

For some reason, Han Wenqing suddenly had a sense of déjà vu:

The seventeen-year-old Korean boy in front of me looks very much like me.

He is also very similar to his old rival who has been entangled with him for many years.

"What do you think can be done to make public opinion less sharp?" Han Wenqing asked abruptly.

Zhang Xinjie was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to realize something. He pondered for a long time and gave an answer: "Two possibilities."

"First, LCK, especially SKT, rose to prominence in Season 1 and defeated us to win the championship."

"The value of this championship, coupled with the glory of South Korea's e-sports ancestors, will easily attract a group of championship fans for them."

"Let's forget it." Han Wenqing shook his head.

Let LCK step on LPL? No one wants this to happen.

"In that case, we can only look forward to the second scenario." Zhang Xinjie smiled slightly.

"After the S-League, LPL has completely consolidated its title as the top league and has been enshrined since then."

"That is, LPL is like the ancient Tang Dynasty, and it has enough confidence to create an open and inclusive environment."

"By then, what if two foreign students come?"

　An update of 7,000 words has been sent, plus the one from this morning, making a total of 10,000 words.

　　good night.
