Chapter 290 Congratulations to T1 for winning the runner-up
Lee Jung Hyun: "In the second game, KT chose a very creative lineup. In addition to Ziggs and Karthus, a pair of midfielders who can support long-distance ultimates, you also rarely chose the top lane.
Nocturne, was this Pick based on your mentality of wanting to carry it?"
Lin Cheng: "This Nocturne is mainly to cooperate with teammates, because we have used this lineup in training matches. After discovering that the opponent put most of the output pressure on Aphelios, we thought we could try it.
"
“So, DRX’s lineup selection just hit your target?”
Lin Cheng said bluntly: "To be honest, when I saw their lineup selected, I felt that the game was stable."
"Oh, really?"
Guangshi expressed doubts, "But when I looked at the pictures of the players before the game, I remember that player Cheng seemed to be more serious, and he didn't look confident at all."
“Actually, I have been trying hard to hold back my laughter, and I almost couldn’t hold back my laughter.”
Lin Cheng’s answer made the three of them burst into laughter, and Guangshi kept slapping his thighs as a trademark.
Lee Jung-Hsien: “After all, Nocturne is still rarely seen on the road. Do you think this hero can compete with the strong top heroes in the current version?”
Lin Cheng: "Nocturne's duel ability is very strong. In fact, Nocturne is easy to beat most short-handed fighters on the top lane. Sett, for example, is very afraid of Nocturne, but his shortcomings are also very obvious, that is
I’m afraid that the jungler from the opposite side will catch me.”
“So, does player Cheng think this hero will appear more in the top lane in the future? Just like when you took out the top laner Tristana before, a lot of Tristana appeared in the top lane of the canyon overnight.”
“There may be some RANK, but it should be rare in competitions.”
Lin Cheng added shamelessly: "Unless you have such an excellent anti-GANK awareness like me, top lane Nocturne will easily become a breakthrough."
Lee Jung-hyun lowered her head to cover her face with her hand, as if she felt that she smiled too much during the interview.
“We will face T1 again in the finals in three days. This telecom battle is more important than the previous two this year. What does Cheng have to say about the finals?”
Lin Cheng thought for two seconds, "There's nothing to say. Well~~~ Let's congratulate the T1 team members in advance for winning the runner-up!"
“As expected of you! It’s so right.”
“Please, keep a low profile!”
“It’s too bad to win the runner-up title! Brother Li wants to hit someone after hearing this.”
“Brother Cheng is too jumpy, so he’s not afraid of being banned by T1 fans before the game even starts.”
“At this time, a melon peel picked up Erguotou.”
“Guapi: I can’t win her anymore, you still want to snatch my championship?”
·······
“Wow! It seems like Player Cheng is really confident.”
Lin Cheng nodded: "Last year they won the LCK championship twice in a row. They couldn't do more than three times. It's their turn to win the runner-up this time."
Pawn was curious: "So has KT found a way to defeat T1 in the finals? You must know that in BO5 games, T1 always wins the telecom battle."
“Why are we looking for ways to beat T1?”
Lin Cheng asked, "Shouldn't they be the ones trying to find a way to defeat us? We haven't lost to T1 even once this year."
Pawn responded, "Ah~~~ What you said makes sense. I almost forgot that KT is the winner of this year's telecom war. So is there anything you want to say to the fans? Because of your appearance, KT fans have experienced
It’s been a very unusual year.”
“I hope everyone will continue to cheer for me, I will definitely bring KT the third league trophy, and..."
After Lin Cheng finished speaking, he pointed to his side, "I will try my best to fill this place up."
The camera slowly turned to follow Lin Cheng’s fingers.
The picture that has been hidden from the camera has finally entered everyone's sight.
The KT team logo is hung on the wall beside Lin Cheng, and a transparent display cabinet is embedded under the wall.
That’s where the trophies won by the club are stored.
But unfortunately, the display cabinet is very empty.
Two league championships, one Kespa Cup championship, and three ancient era invitational championships.
This is all the honors KT has received.
Even for honors other than the league championship, there are no trophies, only wooden certificates of honor placed on the cabinet.
The display case is divided into two rows, upper and lower, with two big-ear-shaped league championship trophies, one at the top and one at the bottom, placed in the middle. The other four certificates are placed on both sides of the trophy.
Even if each certificate is some distance away from the trophy, the entire cabinet of honors looks empty.
And to be honest, except for the two league championships, all other honors seem to be just to make up the numbers.
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with T1’s full honor room, KT’s honor room seems very shabby.
Some clubs do not have a dedicated trophy cabinet because they may not have won any honors at all.
However, KT, which is also a Korean e-sports giant like T1, must not fall behind its rivals. They all have a honor room, so why don’t we?
Unfortunately, KT’s League of Legends division is far less competitive than the StarCraft division.
Because of Lin Cheng’s words, fans of Korean KT were extremely excited.
This is the first time a player has said such words to them in front of the camera.
He is so confident.
“Cheng! Come on! You are the best!”
“Our best top laner forever, this championship belongs to KT.”
“This year is the most promising year, and we are stronger than S8 this year.”
“T1 cubs! Wash your necks and wait.”
Of course, there are also fans of other teams joining in the fun.
“Although he is Chinese, I am really hungry for this top laner.”
“Doran is like a blank slate compared to him, he really doesn’t look like a first grader.”
“You jump first in spring, and when summer comes, it will be our DWG era.”
“Is this KT’s honor room? It’s really ridiculous, our T1 trophies can’t even be placed there.”
·······
However, Lin Cheng’s remarks also caused controversy among Chinese-language barrages.
“It’s so licking! I’m licking it!”
“Is this also called licking? What’s wrong with getting honors for the club you play for? This is basic professionalism.”
“You’re so filial, so you can’t help but jump out and wash yourself?”
"What are some people who are often labeled as such?"
“Who told him to go to South Korea to play professionally? If he makes money from Koreans, he will be criticized by us. Just look at the fate of Brother Coin and Broiler in South Korea.”
“Don’t be blind, Broiler has a good reputation in LCK, only Doinb is being criticized.”
“Brother Chengzi has never played in the LPL, how can he still compete in it?”
“I suggest you go and beat the martial arts king first! If you don’t get the high salary at home, go and play football abroad.”
