Chapter 70 Lee Sang Hyuk Wants to Learn Chinese
In any case, ever since Luo Ji released the strategy guide that laid the tactical foundation for League of Legends, the strategy ecosystem for League of Legends has started to take off.

Teng Hai reacted quickly enough, and quickly promoted Luo Ji to a propaganda model and gave this pioneer an enviable reward.

When a strategy is no longer just a matter of passion but can actually bring in profits, naturally people will be willing to give it a try.

In addition, a group of high-end players, such as Ye Xiu and Zhang Jiale, took the lead in responding and posted some of their experiences in playing certain heroes in the League of Legends player community.

Finally, a large number of players began to transform from pure entertainment to competition.

Although advanced gameplay such as Riven's light-speed QA has not been developed for a while, it at least looks like a competitive game.

Against this backdrop, the much anticipated qualifying round finally opened.

All players who have achieved a certain number of games and achievement points in the previous matching stage and have sufficient hero proficiency can participate in the qualifying round of the ranking competition.

The major anchors and professional players who had been in jail for a week in matching rushed into the ranking elevator almost screaming.

For a while, Xianyu Live was full of titles like "Strike the National Server"...

……

The Chinese server is full of vitality and everything is flourishing, but it may not be the case for other servers.

Mapo Internet Cafe.

"Victory!"

Li Xianghe controlled Ryze and clicked on the crystal for the last time. He looked at the victory interface displayed on the screen as the crystal exploded, but he was not very happy.

He casually moved his wrist and looked at Jin Hekui beside him, and found that he didn't smile much either.

"He Kui, what do you think of fighting like this?" he asked softly.

"Brother Xianghe, even though it's relatively easy to win like this, I always feel like... there isn't much improvement." Jin Hekui thought about it, his face showing bitterness.

Li Xianghe thought about the process of the previous ranking game and his face looked very unhappy.

As soon as the game started, our jungler began to take charge of arranging tactics in the team channel, looking very bossy.

But the big brother in the top lane didn't listen to him. After being killed by a single player four minutes into the game, the split between the top and jungle immediately occurred.

The pin signal kept buzzing, and a fight broke out on the public screen. All the Korean swear words that Lee Sang-hyuk could imagine were combined with the family tree of the two.

At the beginning, the top and jungle could still spray and operate at the same time, but later it turned into cursing each other in the fountain.

If it weren't for Lee Sang-hyuk and Kim Hyuk-kyu who showed their prowess with the bewildered little auxiliary and won with great difficulty in a nearly tragic three-on-five victory, this game would have definitely been a long one.

Li Xianghe encounters similar situations several times a day.

"Although there is no such thing as a guild in League of Legends, some people's bad habits can't be changed after all..."

Lee Sang Hyuk sighed.

"It would be nice if Kespa was still here." Kim Hyuk-kyu suddenly blurted out.

For a moment, Li Xianghe's thoughts were drawn to the golden age of e-sports in South Korea.

That golden age that he was not fortunate enough to participate in.

Once upon a time, South Korea, which chose to build its country on culture, set its sights on two new-generation industries: idols and e-sports.

Therefore, the Korean Esports Association KESPA was established.

In an era when e-sports was not taken seriously, almost all major chaebols and even the country of South Korea personally stepped in to support the development of the e-sports industry.

Soon, he achieved world-renowned success in the RTS game "Star Journey" (the modified Star Journey mentioned in the original work of Full-time).

At that time, South Korea's e-sports industry had a complete competition and youth training system, a very high level of industrialization, and the status of e-sports players was quite good. At one point, they were even exempted from military service and received extra points for admission to higher education.

South Korea has also achieved absolute dominance over the game StarCraft.

However, the good times did not last long, as the World Electronic Sports Association came in with a new behemoth, "Honor".

South Korea is not China, and we cannot restrict their wanton behavior.

Soon, the finally developed KESPA was incorporated into the World Electronic Sports Association with almost no resistance and became its branch.

Since then, although Korean e-sports has continued to develop, it has gradually changed. The preciousness of Honor accounts has meant that the Korean e-sports player selection competitions, which were originally accurate to the school or even class level, have basically lost their value.

Not only that, Honor is an online game, and the characteristic of online games is that they are highly social.

The social environment in South Korea...

Soon, their distorted culture of seniority and juniority was injected into the e-sports industry a hundred times more than in the StarCraft era.

80. Seniority-based rankings and other phenomena are becoming far more frequent than in the past.

At the same time, due to the particularity of the Honor online game, retired players can directly choose to return to the guild and become a high-level brick-moving worker.

Not only does he have a good status, but he also earns a lot.

As a result, they no longer need to make use of their remaining energy in coaching positions.

Plus, the game of Glory doesn't really need a coach...

The legacy left by Kespa was eroded and abandoned bit by bit, and eventually it came to this day.

Lee Sang-hyuk did not experience that era. After all, he was still in elementary school when Kespa was acquired.

But he had also heard from some of his predecessors in the Internet cafes that they used some complex tones and mentalities to commemorate this glorious era.

"Actually... the bad environment is not unbearable at all, it's just that fighting like this... is too disorganized." Li Xianghe thought for a while and pointed out the key to the matter.

League of Legends is not just about glory, strategy, tactics, and resource management, the importance of these elements is almost visible to the naked eye.

Originally, South Korea should be quite good at these things, but unfortunately Glory has ruined this legacy.

"We need to make progress in tactical coordination." Lee Sang-hyuk stared into Kim Hyuk-kyu's eyes, word by word.

Jin Hekui thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "How about... we go to the Chinese server to have a look?"

"It is said that the environment there is better than ours, and many people have already published strategies related to techniques and tactics."

"Huaxia service?..." Li Xianghe was stunned.

His attitude towards Chinese e-sports is somewhat complicated.

Since there has never been a world championship, he is not clear about the strength of Chinese e-sports.

But being in South Korea, a country known as a powerhouse in e-sports, he still subconsciously maintained a certain sense of pride.

It’s just that...League of Legends is indeed a Chinese game.

"...Okay, let's go and take a look." Li Xianghe thought for a few seconds and nodded firmly.

He couldn't stand staying in the same place in Korean server any longer.

The two of them fumbled around for an hour or two, and finally connected to China's network with great difficulty, and then downloaded the Chinese version of League of Legends with great difficulty.

When they opened the community, a series of freshly-published guides, covering almost every aspect of skills in the early stages of the alliance, appeared before them.

But...it's all in Chinese.

Although South Korea has not been able to completely abandon Chinese, by the time of Lee Sang-hyuk's generation, people were basically confused by this unfamiliar language.

Li Xianghe tried to create a translation software, and wanted to understand the meaning of these strategies by translating them sentence by sentence.

However, I found that because there are too many abbreviations, proper nouns, Chinese slang, etc. in the guide, the translation effect is...

Li Xianghe's face was dark.

He wants to learn Chinese a little bit.
