The sixth week of LCK competition has begun. This week, KT only has one game to play against T1.
On July 25, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Cheng and his teammates got on the bus to LOLPARK.
Because it rained heavily in Seoul today, although it usually only takes about ten minutes to drive from the base to the competition venue, in order to prevent being stuck on the road, the entire KT team set off from the club two hours in advance.
The rainfall in Seoul from early this morning to 10 a.m. reached 117 millimeters. This is the second time in nine years that Seoul has received a rare heavy rain.
Although the urban drainage system of Seoul on the Han River is very developed, it cannot withstand the heavy rain that continues to fall. It has not stopped raining for a whole day. Although the rain has become much lighter now, the accumulation of water in many places in Seoul still poses a problem to people's travel.
Very inconvenient.
Seoul is very hilly, and there is a low-lying area not far from the club.
The streets that we were usually familiar with were flooded by turbid water, and there was no place to stay around the shops on both sides. There was even occasional water seeping in from the bus doors while we were traveling.
KT A group of fools gathered near the car window and kept exclaiming.
“Wow~ This scene is so spectacular, can everyone swim?”
“Seoul is doing pretty well. I heard that some people have lost their lives due to floods in the south.”
“There are really constant natural disasters this year.”
“It’s all because humans don’t pay attention to protecting the environment. This is nature’s punishment.”
“Fart! This is Nami’s big move.”
Everyone was sighing, from sighing at the power of nature to pity for the people who were damaged by the flood. Those who didn't know better thought it was a few veteran cadres inspecting.
Fortunately, this time period was not a peak travel period, and KT’s bus successfully arrived at the competition venue after being stuck in traffic for half an hour.
After hurriedly tidying up in the lounge, everyone was still discussing the rare rainstorm.
Bo no: "It is said that the rain will not stop until tomorrow. We will drive faster later. If we are stuck on the road during the evening rush hour, it will be over."
Ai Ming: “I’m afraid the rain will get heavier and heavier. The ‘Misinformation Hall’ is really too deceptive.”
‘Misinformation Agency’ refers to the Korea Meteorological Administration.
The Korea Meteorological Administration has spent 78 billion won to build a weather system since the heavy rainstorm nine years ago. As a result, the forecast of this weather system has errors, and it is also jokingly called the "Misinformation Agency."
Lin Cheng also reacted at this time, "Go to T1 and clock out early. I want to go back and hide under the quilt, watch TV and play games."
Ai Ming: “I agree! I really like leaning on the bay window on rainy days with headphones on to catch up.”
Lin Cheng kindly reminded: "Be careful if the wind blows away the bay window. You should just follow my example and huddle under the quilt to watch the drama. I heard that someone was surfing on the balcony of a high-rise building during a typhoon, and the balcony was blown away too."
Not even a single body was found."
ˆ Ai Ming: "·····"
That’s all I have a hobby for. Can you say something auspicious?
Positive words are the easiest to arouse emotions. Bono couldn't help but raise his voice: "Take away T1 with 2:0, win it steadily."
“It is said that Li Shiheng is afraid of science. Today is your time to prove yourself.”
Lin Cheng was so angry that his pants were pulled up. He waved his fist and said loudly: "Today I will come to C! Beat Lee Sang Hyuk violently! Continue to sweep T1."
“Punch out at 2:00!”
The T1 lounge next to it.
The fat coach Jin is taking the time to deploy tactics for the T1 players. The recent results of T1 are ugly and everyone is under a lot of pressure. From the players to the coaching staff, everyone is highly focused.
Brother Li pricked up his ears and listened to the coach's words. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He faintly heard words such as 'beat Li Sang Hyuk violently', 'take him away easily', and 'no pressure'.
Shaked his head, Brother Li looked a little unhappy.
You have been under too much pressure recently. Do you think you have a mental problem?
Looking at the round-faced young man sitting in the corner again, Brother Li felt a little complicated.
The club has spared no effort to prepare for the youth training ‘talents’ who have only entered the squad for this summer split.
From time to time, I post a collection of operations on the official social account to help build momentum, letting everyone know that T1’s Faker has a successor with sharp operations.
His ID is Clozer, Lee Joo Hyun.
A talented mid laner with a humble appearance.
This character almost overlaps with Faker’s when he debuted, except that he didn’t reach the top of the Korean server.
Obviously he cannot appear on the court, but the coach has brought him to the game scene for several consecutive games to let him feel the atmosphere of the game in advance.
He started participating in team training matches when he was two weeks shy of his 17th birthday, and even excluded himself from the training match lineup.
They are too impatient!
Brother Li knows that he will be a substitute in the next game, and he also knows why the club is so eager to launch his "successor".
It's just that he is getting older, and his condition is no longer what it used to be visibly.
In order for Faker, an ID that has received countless attention, to continue to create value for the club, a new talented mid laner is needed to step forward and inherit Faker's glory.
It is true that players will eventually retire, but clubs can last forever.
Personal fans of players will eventually find other fans after the player retires.
If Clozer is really amazing enough and shows off his talents on the platform provided by the largest club in the history of LOL, he may really be able to gain some of the popularity that originally belonged to Faker.
But does the club really think he can replace them?
How many talented mid laners can really stand at the top after debuting like you?
Some people call themselves the ‘gods’ of League of Legends.
Can God really be replaced?
Brother Li was noncommittal about this.
Faintly, he thought of his mortal enemy's top laner again.
If that person plays the mid lane position, maybe... No! That guy is even more dazzling than his debut.
Although the honor is completely incomparable, at least he cannot become the world's number one midlaner recognized by everyone after only playing one spring split.
But the guy did it.
The Chinese top laner, who only played most of the spring split and one MSC, convinced everyone with his operation.
Even those eccentrics in Europe and the United States, no one doubts his strength.
He didn’t even know why that person’s reaction was so abnormal. All kinds of extreme operations were at his fingertips.
Even Brother Li, who prides himself on his amazing reflexes, knows that his operations alone may not be as good as his at his peak.
With his thoughts racing, Brother Li shook his head to concentrate and continued to listen to the coach's words.
Perhaps standing up and complaining to the media at this time can put a lot of pressure on the club, asking them to be extremely cautious when appointing their "successor".
But that's not what he would do.
He can only do his best.
He is a pure person.
If someone thinks he can be replaced, he is not doing a good enough job.
