"Terror is coming! KT2.0, with 25 consecutive wins, is about to surpass EDG and become the team with the second most consecutive wins!"
This is an article published by the LCK official after KT defeated LSB, which caused a very wide discussion.
The LCK official is very interesting. They deliberately divided KT's two-year results. Last year's KT who won 34 consecutive games was called KT 1.0, and this year's KT who won 25 consecutive games was called KT 2.0.
The article also specifically pointed out that this year's KT 2.0 is the first team in the world to achieve such a long winning streak without any changes to the five starting players.
KT's winning streak was longer last year, but Bono and Malrang had a brief rotation during the mid-level meta changes.
"It's official, didn't KT surpass EDG's record long ago last year?"
"Last year it was KT 1.0, this year it's 2.0, there's nothing wrong with it!"
"KT was considered 1.0 last year? What about earlier times? What about the old captain era?"
"Don't ask! Last year was the first year of KT. We started to have history last year. Before that, we could only count it as a dark age."
"A code within a code! It's the first year to learn LPL and also engage in e-sports, right?"
“KT’s first-year fans have come out to gather!”
"Why should the two years of being the core be counted separately? I'm just afraid that other teams will be too disappointed after seeing it."
"I think KT may even be a little stronger this year than last year. Can they already book the S championship?"
"After two more winning streaks that surpass EDG, I think we can pop the champagne."
"Don't lose your character! It's not an exaggeration to say that EDG's 26-game winning streak in the league and going to the World Championship is embarrassing. It's better to keep a low profile and don't imitate T1."
There's a lot of buzz online about KT's winning streak.
The record was broken once last year, and no one expected that after changing a group of players, KT would actually prepare to surpass EDG's winning streak for the second time this year.
The worst thing is EDG. It clearly held the global winning streak record before last year, but now it is always mentioned as a negative example.
What's the use of having a long winning streak? Just look at EDG! Shouldn't you go to the world and be beaten like a dog?
But KT fans also had something to say.
Who are the people in your EDG group?
He Mingkai did everything in the jungle. When he returned to the World Championship and was beaten badly, did he perform better than before?
Who are our current KT batch?
Nakano is ranked No. 1 in the world! Are you kidding me?
A year and a half ago, it would have been hard for anyone to imagine that there would be another LCK team that could dominate both the league and the World Championship like SKT, or even do better than the top SKT.
No one would have thought that the team that dominated the LCK was KT, who was once treated as a son by SKT.
This year alone, KT has won 25 consecutive games in the league. If last year's league record is included, KT has reached a terrifying 59 consecutive wins.
Although a large number of teammates have changed, Lin Cheng is still there.
He is also the only player in the world with 59 consecutive league wins.
Of course, the league and cup competitions are usually separated when calculating statistics. Otherwise, if we insist on counting, KT also lost in the Kespa Cup in the middle.
But these small flaws do not affect KT's suffocating feeling.
Last year, when KT ended the season with 34 consecutive wins, everyone was waiting for KT to be disbanded during the transfer period.
As they hoped, KT was indeed close to disintegration.
But no one expected that with Lin Cheng remaining in the team as the core, KT would quickly rebuild an equally strong team.
This is so disappointing!
They couldn't beat them last year, and they still can't beat them after changing four players. Fans of other LCK teams have already started waiting for this year's transfer period.
It seems that only when Lin Cheng leaves can other teams have a chance to come forward.
And with the Asian Games next year, the probability of Lin Cheng leaving the LCK will skyrocket in every aspect.
Everyone knows that Lin Cheng is a player who attaches great importance to honor. It is impossible for him to stay in KT for the sake of the Asian Games, right?
You must know that the career of an e-sports player is destined to be short. The Asian Games held every four years may be Lin Cheng's only opportunity to represent the national team. No one thinks that Lin Cheng will miss this opportunity.
As long as Lin Cheng leaves, opportunities will come for other LCK teams.
Although it's a bit frustrating that the way they thought about defeating KT was to rely on their opponent's core to leave the team, there was nothing they could do. Indeed, no top laner in the LCK could do it better than Lin Cheng.
The top laners in the entire LCK are all Lin Cheng’s RBQ!
Of course, the summer split is still very long, and no one dares to say that KT can still maintain dominance in the remaining games.
KT2.0's attempt to break EDG's 26-game winning streak is not without risk.
Because the opponents they encountered in the first five games were not too strong, the games after the first round were almost all tough matches.
On June 25, KT welcomed GEN·G.
The current record of GEN·G is also 5-0. This is not an opponent that can be easily dismissed.
"Is there any problem today? It seems that you lost to GEN·G in the last training match?"
In the pre-match lounge, Chi Shengxi handed Lin Cheng a glass of iced coffee with some worry.
"Oh! It doesn't matter! I just didn't play seriously in the last training match."
Lin Cheng took a carefree sip of coffee and let out a long breath, "It's so refreshing! The coffee Sister Sheng Xi bought is delicious."
Other fools also gathered around and took the drinks from Chi Shengxi one after another. Little Peanut was also confident, "It's normal for the practice lineup to lose and win in training matches. If we take the game seriously, it won't be a big problem."
Little Peanut is in really good shape recently, and this guy is indeed qualified to say this.
Little Peanut's entire career has been highlighted by an unpredictable character. At certain times he can be very bad, and at other times he can also be very good. It's not like many players who become more stable as they get older. This guy's condition changes with his age.
It really doesn't matter.
Seeing that the team members were quite confident, Chi Shengxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, come on! The 26th consecutive victory of the same five-person team is a rare record. I spent an entire night planning the event in advance, just waiting for you guys to win."
When Lin Cheng heard this, he immediately raised his hand.
"Brothers! I suddenly don't want to win! What do you say?"
Everyone was silent.
I don’t object, but it’s hard to agree with it openly.
Chi Shengxi: "???"
What's going on with you guys?
Lin Cheng chuckled: "What's a broken record? I'd rather see Nu's furious look, hehehe!"
"I can show you how angry I am right now!"
Chi Shengxi couldn't help but slap Lin Cheng on the shoulder, making this guy angry.
"Why don't you say anything? You must have the same idea as Lin Cheng, right?"
Chi Shengxi turned to look at the other fools, "Anyone who thinks like this should put down the drinks in their hands, and go buy something to drink by yourself in the bright sun from now on."
Suddenly, the other fools all surrendered to Chi Shengxi.
"Lin Cheng, do you still have any humanity? Event planning is the hard work of Nu Na who stayed up all night!"
"I want to win anyway! Don't be nice to Lin Cheng from now on, he is just a white-eyed wolf."
"Lin Cheng, I will keep an eye on you today. If you dare to act, I will report you with your real name."
