Two days later, in the LPL final on May 2, JD.com defeated TES 3:2 to win the Silver Dragon Cup.
After the LPL championship was decided, all competitions in the divisions had ended, and a piece of news became very popular.
Due to the cancellation of MSI, the two-month long offseason has made the audience complain that it is boring. T1's Twitter office enthusiast CEO asked fans on the social platform for their opinions on holding online friendly matches.
Countless fans have expressed their hope to see an online friendly match between Chinese and Korean clubs to make up for the regret caused by the lack of MSI.
Before the CEO of T1 contacted the LPL club, Korean media broke the news that Riot officials had begun to intervene to prepare for a temporary event between the LPL and LCK.
Riot Games Korea quickly confirmed the news, but the details and time will be announced later.
After seeing the news online, Lin Cheng immediately contacted the club.
For the first time in his career, he had the opportunity to play against teams from other divisions, so Lin Cheng was naturally very concerned about it.
However, the club does not know the specific details of the event. According to Riot Games Korea, the approximate start time will be arranged close to the summer split, which also gives each club an opportunity to train for the summer split. There is no saying that there will be a sudden version after this event.
Major changes.
Since it was still a long time, Lin Cheng didn't think about it and continued to enjoy his vacation peacefully.
At 7pm on May 4th, Lin Cheng started his first live broadcast in May.
It’s not that Lin Cheng wanted to live broadcast, Douyu officials contacted KT Club two days ago to arrange an online exhibition match against a team composed of popular anchors from Douyu.
It was an exhibition match anyway, and the club did not let the players who had gone home rush back to the base, so Lin Cheng broadcast the exhibition match live at home.
Douyu is planning to organize a group competition between Chinese and Korean anchors during the epidemic. Today is the opening day, so it is appropriate to arrange for the entire KT team to play an exhibition match to add to the fun.
KT only needs to play one exhibition match, and the rest of the schedule will be a confrontation between Chinese and Korean anchors, and it has nothing to do with KT.
In previous years, T1 usually took the lead in this kind of exhibition match in the LCK, but this year KT's strong victory and Lin Cheng's popularity made Douyu change their mind.
The rise of KT and the emergence of Lin Cheng this year really gave Douyu a big surprise.
In previous years, there were only teams that gained traction after signing with Douyu, and there was no talk of the original Xianyu team being able to counterattack after signing with Douyu.
KT finally broke this vicious circle this year and won the championship in an unfavorable situation.
Of course, we don’t know whether KT can withstand Douyu’s biggest curse in the World Championship.
Perhaps the name Douyu is inconsistent with the e-sports circle. In previous years, the teams that signed contracts with Douyu all moved at the speed of light, without any exception.
Let’s not talk about the LGD Tangmen live broadcast in ancient times and the explosion of the QD team.
S7's SKT signed with Douyu, and their dream of winning three consecutive championships was shattered by the Bird's Nest. The following year, they even failed to recover.
S8's RNG signed a contract with Douyu in the summer split. After winning the championship that year, RNG went to the World Championship aggressively, and the result was a tragedy.
In the same year, Douyu also signed contracts with all other LCK S competition teams. As a result, the LCK teams teamed up with RNG and collectively fell outside the top eight.
IG, who returned from S8, also signed with Douyu after winning the championship. Everyone has seen what happened to him later.
In the past two years, the strength of the teams signed by Douyu obviously seemed to be extraordinary, but inexplicably, they began to explode one after another.
It’s unclear whether KT, who won this year’s LCK Spring Split, will lose weight in the future, but while the popularity is still there, Douyu knows that making money quickly is the way to go.
So there was this temporary exhibition match.
When Lin Cheng entered the live broadcast room, water friends who had been waiting eagerly for the news sent cordial greetings.
"You bitch, do you still have a face? The account for scolding fans last time has not been settled yet."
"Super management is here to drive this dog anchor crazy."
"Brother Cheng, where is your girlfriend? Let her show her face again."
"Brother Chengzi, draw your sword, I am your love rival No. 10086."
"Where's the lady who spoke Chinese last time? I want to get to know her."
"Brother Cheng, please tell me your address. I want to be your neighbor."
Lin Cheng sneered: "How many times do you want me to say this? Brother Cheng has the obligation to protect the women around him from being harassed by any male creature except me. You should go and look in the mirror first. Why do you want to pry into Brother Cheng's corner?"
"
"Superficial people only look at appearance. Isn't it amazing how handsome you are?"
Lin Cheng: "Only ugly people talk about connotations. The first time you go out to a blind date's house and see your connotations, you will be a ghost."
"You keep scolding! You keep scolding!"
"Fuck! It's really heartbreaking. Please forgive me for always using connotations to treat myself."
"Sit back and wait until Emperor C kills this guy."
"I would rather see Brother Ba kill him, but it's a pity that Brother Ba is from Huya."
"Brother, that's not the case! All the people that Brother Ba can kill can be buried."
Lin Cheng was curious: "By the way! Who are the anchors on Douyu today?"
"The top laner C Huang, the jungler should be the pattern, the mid laner Wang Jichao, and the bottom lane should be Smile and Curly Hair."
"Emperor C's voice over there is already saying harsh words, and he wants to defeat you."
Lin Cheng smiled, "Are you so cruel? Didn't you agree to an exhibition match? The kind that puts performance first and friendship second."
Although it is an exhibition match, Douyu’s anchor lineup this time is composed of some powerful anchors, and there are no anchors coming in on the hour.
Of course, Lin Cheng doesn't think his team will overturn.
In the final analysis, except for Smile and Curly Hair, the other players on the other side are just anchors who have not been systematically trained. Maybe they have certain laning strength, but after all, they have not gone through a long period of team training.
Not to mention that some anchors retire their favorite heroes on the spot as soon as they are banned. Even if they get unique heroes, they will not be able to pose a threat to KT.
Otherwise, this LCK champion is too weak.
While chatting and laughing in the live broadcast room, Lin Cheng opened the Korean server client, entered the custom room that had been built, and connected to the voice chat with his teammates.
Lin Cheng: "Brothers, how have you been these past few days? Are you having a blast?"
Kuro: "I was having fun climbing mountains, but when I came back I saw you, a little brat, laughing at me in the live broadcast room. It's been a few days and I still haven't recovered."
Lin Cheng: "····"
Bono: "I went to the remote control car club in Rishan yesterday. It was really interesting."
Aiming: "I've been at home for many days, and it's quite satisfying to watch dramas all day long."
Only Tusin said feebly: "It's okay."
Lin Cheng was surprised: "What's wrong with Park Rong Hyuk? You haven't eaten meat for a few days?"
Aiming chuckled: "He was hung up and beaten by Emperor Ou for playing mobile games for a few days, and he fell into self-doubt."
Lin Cheng expressed his understanding. When he spent a lot of money playing games and was beaten by Leopard Head, he was easily autistic and began to wonder if his way of making money was going astray.
Of course, Boss Ma had something to say.
If a krypton gold player can't beat the European Emperor, it can only mean that you don't earn enough krypton.
Keep throwing money, and Boss Ma will give you a bright future.
