After the fourth week of competition, on March 3, the LCK official suddenly announced that after the fifth week, which is the last week of the first round of competition, the LCK will temporarily suspend the competition, and the second round of competition will begin.
Date to be determined.
The current epidemic situation in South Korea is becoming more and more serious. The number of confirmed cases has increased rapidly in the past few days from the end of February to March. Under this situation, LCK officials had to make a decision to temporarily suspend the game out of consideration for the safety of players and staff.
After all, it is an offline competition. Even if there are no spectators, there are still players and a large number of staff gathered at the scene. Once a problem occurs, the impact on the entire league is difficult to estimate.
On Friday, March 6, in the final game of the first round of the Spring Split, KT defeated GRF with a score of 2:0.
Last year, Griffin, the LCK's spring and summer double Asia king, suffered a significant decline in strength after two important players in the central support team left the team. After losing to KT in this game, he successfully squeezed out Hanwha and occupied two positions in the relegation zone with APK.
KT also successfully climbed to sixth place in the standings with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses. It has the same record as fifth-place DWG. The two sides are only separated by one small game in points.
Since T1 started the classic slow-paced torture in the early game, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening after KT finished the late game. Lin Cheng was not going to go back to the apartment today, and followed his teammates on the bus back to the base.
On a moving bus.
Kang Dongxun stood up and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "Everyone has been working hard recently. I am announcing a two-day holiday starting tomorrow. Let's take a good rest and adjust."
KT Everyone cheered, much like when the teacher announced that there would be no classes tomorrow at school.
“Are you too happy?”
Lin Cheng looked at the teammates next to him a little sadly, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is the weekend, which is a holiday. In other words, you can't tell the difference between east, west and north?"
The originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
Kang Dongxun waved his hand, "Lin Cheng, don't be so serious. It's good to let everyone have fun for a few more minutes."
Everyone in KT looked at the coach with dead fish eyes, feeling that their own intelligence had been insulted.
Kang Dongxun coughed twice, thinking that the players' performance has been really good recently, and the next round of LCK games will definitely not start in the near future, he simply said: "Well~~~ I mean to have two extra days off on top of the weekend.
It’s a four-day holiday in total.”
Everyone became happy now, and their dissatisfaction with their intelligence being insulted suddenly disappeared.
They don’t mind being insulted a few times as long as it’s beneficial.
Kang Dongxun emphasized: "However, during the holidays, everyone should try to avoid crowded places when traveling, and are not allowed to hang out in nightclubs. When returning to the base, you must also be tested at the door."
Aiming said cheerfully: "Don't worry, coach! I won't go anywhere during the holidays. I will just watch anime at the base."
Kuro: "Yundingzhiyi, I want to make a big wave."
Bono: “I just bought a new game and I’m going to finish it in the next two days.”
Tusin: “I’m playing a new online game recently, do you want to play with me?”
Bono: “Online games... Is this game profitable?”
Tusin: “If you do micro krypton, you are a master; if you do hard krypton, you are the father.”
Bono is a little disappointed: “I still prefer games that involve strength, and pure krypton gold is boring.”
Lin Cheng interjected: "Then I can recommend our Chinese games to you. Those Korean game companies only distinguish players according to the level of krypton gold, which is really rubbish."
Bono: “Are there any game companies that don’t differentiate players based on krypton dollars?”
Lin Cheng chuckled: "Of course! We have a game company in China that is great. If you don't recharge, you are a grandson, but if you recharge, you are still a grandson. Are we treating them equally?"
bono: “Is there such a conscientious game? It’s not a stand-alone game, right?”
Lin Cheng: "Conscience? Well~~~ That's not a good word."
Hearing the discussion among the team members, Kang Dongxun opened his mouth and suddenly realized that he had been worrying too much.
For these e-sports otakus, most of their holidays are just to stay at the base and change games to play.
Lin Cheng suddenly raised his head, "Coach, don't you have many friends? Do you have any inside information? When will the next round of competition start?"
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the rest of KT pricked up their ears.
Kang Dongxun shook his head: "I don't know the time of the second round either. It shouldn't be too soon."
Lin Cheng: “Will the second round of matches be conducted in accordance with the LPL’s online format? I see people on the forum are speculating.”
Kang Dongxun: “I don’t know.”
Lin Cheng was a little disappointed, "Why don't you know anything?"
Kang Dongxun did not speak.
Do you think I am a god? The LCK competition is not organized by my family.
After returning to the base to have dinner, Lin Cheng and Aiming walked slowly towards the lobby on the third floor. Tusin was lying on the sofa with a remote control and watching TV. What was playing on the TV was the little penguin Baolu, which is the most popular among Korean children.
dew.
Lin Cheng sat down on the sofa next to him, "Why are you still reading such childish things? This is for children."
Tusin watched it very seriously, "There's no rule that adults can't watch it, so I just like it."
There happened to be a fat polar bear eating haese in the picture. Aiming laughed and said:
“Oh! Aren’t you sad to see that the big white bear in it is as fat as you? Quickly change the channel, I want to watch MBC’s new drama, the one starring Lim Soo-hyang.”
Hearing Aiming’s words, Tusin sat up and asked, “What are you doing? Are you discriminating against fat people?”
Aiming waved his hand: "I'm not saying you are fat."
Tusin: “I’m already 180 pounds, why don’t I lose weight?”
Seeing his serious look, Aiming opened her mouth: "What I mean is...you are not obviously fat."
Mr. Tusin was not happy, "I am not obviously fat, but you are obviously short."
Aiming is actually not too short, but she looks relatively short next to Lin Cheng, who is 1.84 meters tall.
Hearing this, Aiming was not happy, "Who do you think is short?"
Tusin: “You were the first to call me fat.”
Aiming: "I said you are not obviously fat."
Tusin: "Then I say you are not obviously short. Are you comfortable?"
Aiming: “What are you doing? Are you deliberately looking for trouble?”
Tusin: “I’m just going to find trouble, what do you want?”
Looking at his opponent's size, Ainming shouted: "It's a one-on-one challenge. Are you going to play 3D chess? If you lose, you won't be allowed to have lunch tomorrow."
"come!"
“Don’t run if you have the guts, I’ll get the chess piece.”
Listening to the duo's banter, Lin Cheng took the opportunity to touch the remote control and leisurely flipped through the channels with his legs crossed.
As for whether his duo will be impatient, he is not worried. The two are already old partners, and quarreling is definitely a common thing.
The two of them were teammates in AFS the year before last. Tusin was a traveling frog and drove the death train. Aiming actually dared to get on the train in such a situation, which shows that the two of them still have a good understanding.
In fact, Lin Cheng has always felt that Aiming is a bit like the old Sima thief in the past. He fought back and forth with the strong team in the bottom lane, and attacked the weak team with heavy punches.
However, the styles of the duo will actually influence each other. Part of Aiming's offensive style is due to Tusin. The AD who partners with him is not stable at all, including Mr. Dai last year.
