Chapter 385: You don’t want to play the Southward Game with the General, do you?

As the price of easily entering the Asian Games, Xiao Shiqin was destined to suffer a lot during this period.

With at least double-digit top players competing every day, you can imagine how intense it is.

What's more, as one of the most meticulous professional players, Xiao Shiqin would not just play training matches.

After the battle, you need to review the game for a while and study the various advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and yourself.

I can only say that it is fortunate that he is a strong young man in his twenties, otherwise if he continues like this, something might happen to his health.

But there is no way, who says it is rare to have such a good thing that can quickly improve strength through battle experience?

Xiao Shiqin knew very well that the reason why those baseball players were still willing to arrange training matches with him and were happy to do so was probably because they had not yet come to their senses.

I just saw the news about the Asian Games, and for a moment my attention was focused on competing for places with my compatriots.

When they calm down from their initial enthusiasm, they will soon realize a cruel fact:

Even if you get a spot, you may not be able to pass Xiao Shiqin's test.

By then, even a fool would realize that scheduling a training match with Xiao Shiqin might be more dangerous than scheduling a training match with his compatriots.

After all, if you fail to grab a spot, the most you'll end up losing the chance to be exempted from military service.

And if he got a spot, but was defeated by Xiao Shiqin in the Asian Games, in StarCraft, which is called the national sport by the Koreans.

That probably means not only military service, but also being sent to the front lines to fill in the gaps.

It just so happens that a certain 80s-born person in the north got tired of playing in a human-machine game and wanted to have a matchmaking session...

No one would want to welcome the general's march south, right?
Emmm, maybe except DK?

All in all, even if he would be so tired that he would fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow in the next few days, Xiao Shiqin would not give up this fleeting opportunity for improvement.

After all, although he doesn't have to worry about military service, winning an Olympic gold medal would certainly be a great honor for his family.

While Xiao Shiqin was training with joy and pain against the masters of the Korean StarCraft,
The South Korean players in other games were much more sober.

At the beginning, the StarCraft players did not take Xiao Shiqin too seriously. In essence, they had a mysterious confidence in the StarCraft project.

After all, it is the national sport of South Korea. Kespa was once a legend that completely dominated an era.

Even now, apart from Xiao Shiqin who is a standout, South Korea has gradually gained an absolute advantage in this event.

This situation is the core reason why these people are not so vigilant against Xiao Shiqin.

But among the six events that have been preliminarily confirmed for the Asian Games, probably only StarCraft can allow the South Korean athletes to have such margin.

The contestants in other events are very anxious.

In a top e-sports box in Busan.

"Brother Chan-jung, do we really need to take this so seriously?"

LCK's third seed in the world championship, AD of the Samsung team, was taught a lesson by two seniors one by one. Ruler, who was not yet qualified to be called the Ruler Emperor at this time, looked at his big brother cautiously.

Although the summer season schedule has come to an end, they do have enough time to do activities like today.

But the young Chizai still didn’t quite understand why there was such a big fuss.

Almost immediately after the news of the Asian Games broke out, led by the Big Three, the top players of LCK reached a consensus at an unprecedented speed.

We made an appointment to meet in an e-sports box on the day when the LPL summer finals were held next door, and jointly discuss various issues facing the LPL in the upcoming S game.

In addition to the three participating teams, the participants also included three other players from the old SKT who have left the team, as well as the top players from other LCK teams.

It can be said that if the General fired a shot towards this private room at this time, the LCK would be beaten back to the primitive age.

The players and management with more experience showed top-notch organizational efficiency, but many of the younger generation of players complained about their attitude of treating the team as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

For example, Ruler.

He really couldn't understand why LCK was so afraid of LPL.

Just because they won MSI by chance?
For Chizai, who has not participated in the Spring Split and MSI, he really doesn’t have much idea about the strength of LPL.

On the one hand, he didn't think that SKT in the spring season was a very strong team.

Deft is very strong in the bottom lane, but when he is not in full swing, he is only slightly stronger than Ruler.

Faker in the mid lane is terribly strong, but when I think of the incident when he broke through the anti-collision wall before, I subconsciously deduct three points from his psychological endurance.

As for the other three positions...except for Park Jae-yoon who barely proved himself, there is no point mentioning the other two.

Pull it back.

On the other hand, the clash between SKT and the spring season champion Fanhua was only two small games at most, and there was not much to see.

All these factors combined have led to the fact that in the minds of Chizi and many young talents who entered the league in the summer season, LPL and Fanhua are not so invincible.

"Jae Hyuk, we must show the highest respect to the opponents who have defeated us." Before An Bixin could say anything, General Pawn on the side spoke first and gave a little dissuasion to the ruler.

Although he has never faced off against anyone from LPL, it does not prevent him from being wary of LPL.

After all, although he had played against Fanhua, he had played against the SKT team at that time!
At least during the spring season, the Big Three consisting of Park Jae-yoon, who is still at his peak, Lee Sang-hyuk, and Kim Hyuk-kyu, who are beginning to show their potential, are absolutely reliable.

Although the jungler and support were not very strong, they were obedient enough, which led to SKT's tactical operation at that time being slightly better than SKT before Faker hit a wall in the summer season.

At that time, Samsung was basically beaten unilaterally by SKT.

The fact that Fanhua was able to treat the ambitious SKT like a spinning top was enough for Pawn to respect them enough.

What's more, Fanhua doesn't seem to be the strongest LPL team in the summer season!

Didn’t you see that they didn’t even make it to the finals?

Blue Rain has played fewer games, so let’s not discuss that for now.

Xingxin's lineup always gives Pawn a sense of déjà vu.

Three C positions, one old one and two new guys...

Isn’t this the top-level version of Spring SKT?
Not easy to mess with, not easy to mess with.

Although Senior Pawn had spoken, Chizi had no choice but to shut up, but in his heart, he was still not convinced.

An Bixin has been in the e-sports circle for so many years, and his eyes are as experienced as a demon. Naturally, he saw the anger in Chizi's heart. He sighed and explained: "Zehe, have you ever paid attention to Honor?"

Chizai shook his head honestly. He was not from the glorious Whampoa Military Academy.

"If you've been paying attention, you would know that recently, apart from me and Lao Pu, the other three masters of this rank have finally become restless."

"Are they coming to LCK too?" Chizi asked curiously.

"No, it's eternal damnation."

"Oh!" Ruler suddenly realized.

On the Korean side, the attitude towards Naraka: Bladepoint has always been quite subtle.

On the one hand, as they share the same cultural roots with the Chinese nation, they have always felt very familiar with martial arts-themed games like Naraka.

But on the other hand, some distorted national sentiments make them subconsciously reject this kind of game that looks familiar but is not made by the Koreans themselves.

Such contradictory emotions have made Naraka: Bladepoint always somewhat popular in South Korea, but not extremely popular.

But no matter how popular it is, one thing is beyond doubt: Naraka: Bladepoint is the most suitable game for the old players of Glory of Kings to transform, no doubt about it.

In this Asian Games, Naraka: Bladepoint is also one of the events. If you can win a gold medal, you can be exempted from military service.

The level of internal competition in the Eternal League is far less than that of the LCK and KRSC.

It's normal that those old guys chose Eternal Tribulation as the stage for their last dance.

"But what does that prove?" Park Jae Hyuk was confused again.

"Of course, turning into eternal calamity doesn't mean anything."

"But what if those three guys chose to join forces after turning into the Eternal Tribulation? Is a team with three masters scary?"

A frivolous voice came from far away, and Park Jae-yoon, wearing a baseball cap and big sunglasses, pushed open the door and walked in happily.

This kid has been doing well recently. Lee Sang-hyeok's self-destruction plan not only killed SKT's coach, but also made his reputation rebound.

Coupled with his previous feat of dragging SKT into the fifth game, he is still in the minds of many people and is on the roster representing South Korea in the Asian Games!
Park Jae-yoon has a Buddhist mentality and never worries about gains and losses. He has been having a very comfortable time during this period.

The reason he came here today was not because he really had any ideas about the Asian Games, but purely to share his experience as a senior who had competed head-on with LPL.

His two casual words made Park Jae Hyuk's eyes widen suddenly: "Three people joining forces?"

Although he was not born into a glorious family and did not have much obsession with glory, he was also very clear about the value of this title.

Each of them is the absolute king of their respective teams.

But now, three of the five great masters have chosen to form a group in the less competitive league of Eternal Tribulation?
The Big Three of the Heat teamed up because they couldn't beat the Lakers and Celtics, the Warriors teamed up because they were disgusted by the Cavaliers' hurdle championship, so why did these three team up?
The Asian Games selections are not done by teams, right? They are divided into three teams, and in the end they can all be selected into the South Korean team.

"Yes, why?" Park Jae-yoon said with a smile. "You may not believe it, but the reason why they chose to stick together is really to improve their mutual compatibility in advance."

"Because only in this way can they have some confidence to fight against the monsters of nbpl."

"Especially that, Wang Jiexi!" Park Jae-yoon, a guy who couldn't even find his high school diploma, pronounced Wang Jiexi's name surprisingly well.

All we can say is that the magician left a very deep impression on them.

Two days ago, when the news about the Asian Games came out, the other three masters finally couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go to the Eternal League to fight for the opportunity to be exempted from military service.

But as experienced people, they can clearly realize that the power that prevents them from being exempted from military service does not lie in the National Baseball League.
But it is in that mysterious East, no, based on the geographical location of South Korea, it should be a Western power.

So since they had nothing to do, they found Jiang Canrong and Park Jae-yoon, and the five of them sat down together to study the videos of the nbpl players during the glory period.

After all, their Yongjie is a latecomer and still needs training, and their attainments are not yet at that level.

Then he was frightened by Wang Jiexi.

No, can a magic scholar play like this?

When these old Dengs saw Wang Jiexi, in his prime, using all his magician skills to beat his opponents dizzy, they suddenly felt like they were playing a fake game.

After all, if we only look at one-on-one duels, Wang Jiexi in his prime, without the sealing style of play, would be the second best in history and might even be stronger than Ye Xiu without Lord Grim.

The environment of the Korean Glory is average, so how could it produce a master like Wang Jiexi?

In comparison, equally powerful and difficult second-tier masters such as Tang Hao and Yu Feng do not seem so dazzling.

The three of them, who were originally full of confidence, couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling when they thought that even if they made the Asian Games roster, they would still face a terrifying existence like Wang Jiexi in the competition.

So, after discussing for a while, they decisively chose to work together and spend nearly a year in advance to improve the team's tacit understanding and try their best to improve their combat effectiveness during the Asian Games.

Even Wang Jiexi couldn't stop their determination to stay away from the general!

An Bixin and Park Jae-yoon, who came to watch the fun, observed the problem from a different perspective than these two.

The first things they noticed were:

This awesome Wang Jiexi actually seems not to be the number one in China's Glory?
After checking it more carefully, something was wrong.

The team that treated SKT like a spinning top, whose core member Zhang Jiale lost to Wang Jiexi in the seventh season finals without Sun Zheping.

The main players of Blue Rain, who sat on the sidelines and watched the fight from the beginning to the end of that summer season, successfully sent Wang Jiexi home to go fishing in the sixth season.

And that Happy is even more of a heavyweight. Their mid laner is none other than Ye Xiu, who is even better than Wang Jiexi in terms of accumulated honors and thus firmly sits on the throne of the number one player in history.

Well, it would be strange if these three teams were weak.

It is precisely because of these realizations that the LCK talents have attached unprecedented importance to the LPL and organized this offline strategic exchange meeting.

This time, they really faced the LPL's Iron Cavalry with the mentality of a challenger!

While they were talking, other participants of the meeting also arrived.

There was the noble summer season champion, LCK No. 1 seed KT. Their AD player IMP looked around as he entered the door, and when he found that Deft was not there, he pouted in disappointment, muttered something, and found a corner to sit down.

Xiaohei and effort, who fought alongside Lee Sang-hyeok and others at MSI, are here to share their thoughts on facing the LPL team.

There are also a group of young players such as kiin who did not make it to the world competition. Their team level is average, but their individual abilities are good enough and they have the opportunity to participate in the Asian Games.

Finally, as Lee Sang-hyuk pushed open the door, all SKT members strode into the box.

The LCK vs. LPL combat meeting and the LPL Summer Finals offline viewing event in South Korea have officially begun!
