Korean Net broke the news that Kkoma invited Mr. Kang to join the coaching staff. Lin Cheng even went to ask his own coach in person.
Mr. Kang confirmed the accuracy of the news, but told Lin Cheng that he had not accepted the invitation.
Mr. Kang did not explain the specific reason, and Lin Cheng could probably guess what the coach was thinking.
It's not that there is a deep relationship between master and disciple. If given the opportunity, Mr. Kang would be eager to show his true colors as Lin Cheng's killer.
But what is Mr. Kang’s status now?
To be someone's deputy?
More importantly, what if Mr. Kang joins the Asian Games coaching staff and the Korean team still loses?
I'm afraid that KT will really take the crown!
If he wins, the credit is not his. If he loses, the reputation will be ruined. Mr. Kang is not stupid.
Staying in the hotel with nothing to do, Lin Cheng basically spent the whole day browsing forums online. He had read all the gossip on the Korean Internet during this period.
News 1: KDF mid laner Fate was angrily criticized by his girlfriend for cheating on the female anchor, and scolded him for stepping on both sides.
Lin Cheng felt chills running down his spine and forwarded the news to Chi Shengxi.
Sister Sheng Xi replied with a question mark.
Fate's girlfriend is a team member. Chi Shengxi didn't know what Lin Cheng's intention was in forwarding this news to him.
News 2: A retired player surnamed Li from an LCK team ran naked at a nail salon and obstructed business. He was suspected of having mental problems and was investigated by the police.
Lin Cheng's first reaction was to check whether there was a retired player named Li among the people he knew.
There really is.
It’s you! Lee Se Hyung!
Of course, it would definitely not be Mr. Kuro. Lin Cheng was almost cut up by Kuro on the spot when he was drunk and embarrassed. Mr. Shiheng couldn't do something as embarrassing as running naked.
News 3: The forum broke the news that a certain Korean top laner who played in a foreign division in the first half of the year has reached an agreement with the LPL team FPX and will join FPX after the start of the summer split.
The forum informant’s spying ability is very strong, and after gradual investigation, this player was identified as Summit, who left the LCK last year.
This player is really a bit strange.
In the regular season, he performed very well during the normal season. Even Niu Bao, who was one of the top three heroes of CK in S9, could not take advantage of Summit. In S10, he was also among the top top laners in the LCK.
But when it comes to the critical round, Summit can't stop as if he's been infected by a zombie virus. The sandbox is always the first round of the playoffs and it has a lot to do with him getting sick when playing BO5.
This year is the same scenario for C9. Summit was still the LCS regular season MVP in the spring split, but his disastrous performance in the playoffs led to his early termination from C9.
Teams in the European and American divisions are also very familiar with card contracts. Although Summit and C9 have agreed to terminate the contract, due to competition clauses, other LCS teams must pay a higher salary than C9 if they want to sign Suumit halfway, which discourages other teams in the same division.
Therefore, Summit has no choice but to leave the LCS if he wants to play games in the summer, and the news of transferring to the LPL seems quite reliable.
Don't look at the rumors on the Korean Net forum, which are ridiculous one after another. There is everything from player cheating to transfer news, but the credibility of the Korean Net forum revelations has been proven many times.
At least compared to the so-called e-sports professionals here in the LPL who talk nonsense, the accuracy of the revelations in Korean forums is much higher.
Lin Cheng was surfing and eating melon with nothing to do in the hotel room, while the second week of LCK games had already begun.
On June 16, KT faced its first opponent Nongshim in the second week.
Rookie returned to the starting lineup, and the team's midfield rhythm became normal. Although there were many mistakes during the game, KT easily won Nongshim 2:0.
Cuzz and Mr. Dai shouted to Lin Cheng in the POG interview after the game: Stay in isolation in China and don’t worry about us.
These two guys even stretched out their hands in front of the camera, grinning brightly.
"Haha! These two are so funny"
"Xiao Cheng, teammate! Don't miss me! (Yeah)"
"Mr. Dai: Cheng's departure has little impact on us"
"Brother Chengzi's 7+3 hasn't ended yet, he's already passed out from anger in the hotel"
Of course Lin Cheng was not angry, on the contrary, he was very pleased.
After all, Zilong will not always charge with Adou in his arms. It is a good thing that Adou can stand up.
As a result, Chi Shengxi sent Cuzz and Mr. Dai’s photo of Biye to the group that day, and Aitling Cheng:
Peace, team! Don’t miss me! (Yeah)
Suddenly, the guys in the group turned into repeaters and copied Chi Shengxi's message and sent it out.
Even Mr. Kang got angry.
Lin Cheng couldn't laugh or cry.
As a result, just when everyone thought that KT would get better with Rookie's return, two days later on June 18, KT lost to Hanwha, which had lost three games in a row, with a score of 1:2.
The polarity of the group reversed.
Mr. Kang: The team is in danger, return quickly! (crying loudly)
Lin Cheng: (Yeah)
Obviously, this guy still remembers Mr. Kang's face when he sent him a message two days ago.
There was another commotion in the group.
The contrast between before and after was so strong that Rookie revealed this interesting incident in the group to netizens during a live broadcast at night.
Netizens didn’t hold back either.
"Aren't these guys too happy? 2333"
"Brother Chengzi: Who told me not to worry the day before yesterday? (Dog Head)"
"One thing to say, Hanwha played really well today, everyone was like cheating"
"Hanwha's true love for Brother Chengzi just wakes up those who think that KT can kill fish belly without Brother Chengzi"
"Because Brother Chengzi couldn't build a Galaxy Battleship with money for two consecutive years, and he still has to bring a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimps to help Brother Chengzi to criticize him. Hanwha is so heartwarming."
"In fact, Hanwha has been pursuing Brother Cheng since before he became a professional player. I hope everyone knows"
"Too outrageous! Hanwha was delayed by Brother Chengzi for three years"
"Once you meet an orange, you will miss your life (crying loudly)"
"Hanwha, stop licking! You really don't owe Brother Chengzi"
·····
On June 19, at 7pm, the hotel staff informed Lin Cheng that he could leave.
After ten days, he was finally released.
Lin Cheng met his eldest wife outside the hotel.
Han Seo-yeon is wearing a neat white T-shirt + jeans, with long hair like a waterfall, and a gentle smile.
"Sister Shuyan! I think you are going crazy."
Lin Cheng hugged Han Shuyan excitedly, buried his face in her hair and sniffed it.
That faint fragrance made Lin Cheng feel as if he had suddenly escaped from the depression of long-term isolation.
Han Shuyan hugged Lin Cheng with her backhand, "Okay! She's still on the street."
Lin Cheng let go of his arm and took Han Shuyan.
"Let's go! Let's find another hotel, stay one night and then go back to see our parents tomorrow."
It was a bit late today, so the two decided to stay one more night in Shenzhen and set off for Chengdu tomorrow.
After staying alone in an empty room for so long, Lin Cheng naturally refused to let his eldest wife off easily, so he reminded Sister Shuyan in a sly voice: "Sister Shuyan, you promised to touch those long legs in stockings for me.
.”
Han Shuyan rolled her eyes at him, turned her head and muttered softly: "I know, my sister won't deny it."
Lin Cheng suddenly became very excited and pulled his girlfriend forward excitedly.
