In fact, many people don’t know that when Comcast was preparing to enter the LCK, the first person it wanted to negotiate with was KT instead of SKT.
South Korea is the second largest open pay cable TV market in Asia after Japan. Western media service providers including flix and H-wave have always had a strong interest in entering the Korean market.
After receiving the news that the LCK was about to become a league, Comcast wanted to acquire a club in advance, and KT was their primary target.
However, due to potential business conflicts between KT's mobile portal media Olleh and Comcast in the future, KT ultimately rejected Comcast's offer.
After all, Olleh's logo is still printed on KT's team uniform, and KT's subsidiaries are not competing with Tencent's gu-raising model, so the relationship between them is relatively close.
If KT becomes SKT's operating model this year, Lin Cheng doesn't know if the old guys in the team will have the energy to play well while filming commercials.
After eliminating T1, DRX met GEN·G in the playoffs on August 28.
Mr. Dai's state in the summer split is visibly sluggish. Now he can't beat Rler in lane, and he often loses in team fights. DRX suffers a big loss in the bottom lane.
In addition, Dolan also got into trouble and was taught by Rasal on both forehands and backhands. In the end, after five games, GEN·G advanced to the semifinals.
The LCK semi-finals started on the weekend, and Lin Cheng watched the game in his apartment.
If there is any team other than KT that has caused the biggest trouble for DWG this season, it is undoubtedly GEN·G. GEN·G almost won the two rounds against DWG.
Ruler's performance in the summer was really outstanding. Before the semi-finals, the big school was bragging crazily: "Ruler! He is the world's number one ADC this year! Aiming performed well, but KT mainly relies on Brother Chengzi in C."
In this semi-final match, Leler did have the upper hand against Ghost, but his support couldn't hold him back and wanted to harm him.
This player Laifu is really very good at committing crimes, and the little god of death is nothing in front of him.
He led his teammates to send him off one after another, and dared to flash and kill the five people on the opposite side when his own teammates were not all there. Life really injected a bit of bravery into Samsung's timid bloodline.
Unfortunately it's of no use.
DWG easily took away GEN·G 3:0 with their strong carry in the upper and midfield, and will compete with KT for the league championship trophy a week later.
After watching the semi-finals, Lin Cheng went to the forum for a walk.
The forum is quite lively.
GEN·G fans beat their feet and chest, complaining that Laifu is not a human being.
DWG fans said that they have lost to KT many times, and the finals are the most important moment to wash away the shame.
T1 fans are calculating the probability of breaking through the bubble game.
DRX fans said that Mr. Dai and brother Dolan need to stabilize their mentality during the bubble game, and at least their teammates can carry them through without making mistakes along the way.
KT fans were arrogantly taunting everyone.
At this time, the message notification sound on the mobile phone came to mind.
Park Ji-yeon: Lin Cheng, keep your word, my sister is supporting you on IG! (Come on)
IG is also INS. Lin Cheng quickly opened INS to take a look.
As a result, I realized that I had not followed Park Ji-yeon’s Instagram at all.
Lin Cheng: What is your INS account?
Park Ji-yeon: Wow!!! You’re going too far! You haven’t paid attention to me yet.
Lin Cheng: Do you know my INS account?
Park Ji-yeon: I don’t know (embarrassed)
Lin Cheng: Then we are even and pay attention to each other?
Park Ji-yeon: Good idea (make fist)
After getting the account number, Lin Cheng left in search of the trace.
Twenty minutes ago, Park Ji-yeon posted a selfie on Instagram to support him.
In the photo, Park Ji-yeon is wearing a loose KT white team uniform, sitting cross-legged on the sofa and holding a mobile phone with one hand to take a selfie. Her long legs under hot pants are so white that they are dazzling.
The photo was captioned with the text: "Sincerely! Come on for the finals! We KT are invincible (cheers)"
Lin Cheng really didn't expect that Park Ji-yeon even knew the dirty words he often said in interviews.
Park Ji-yeon's Instagram has 3 million followers, and many people have already commented below.
"Front row! So beautiful."
"Who is Jiyeon supporting? A newcomer who has just debuted?"
"The title is very close. Is it a junior? Or is it an acquaintance?"
"Ahhh! It's Cheng! KT's ace! My favorite player, he's super handsome."
"I searched it and he's really handsome! Why don't YG contact him and let him debut?"
"Isn't it true that Zhiyan doesn't play League of Legends? She actually knows e-sports players?"
"Dream collaboration! I'm a KT fan!"
"Go and notify Sunmi! Jiyeon is here to cause trouble!"
"Unnie is still so beautiful! When will you continue your activities?"
"Can you teach me how to do makeup? I like this makeup so much."
Although she behaves very sexy on stage, Park Ji-yeon's Korean fans are mostly female. From the tone of these speeches, you can tell that most of them are girls.
In addition, there are many Chinese comments and English comments.
"Damn! That's awesome! Does Long Zai like Brother Chengzi?"
"The e-sports girl group has finally linked up with e-sports players! What a youth."
"Sit back and wait for Brother Jing's white-haired Riwen to start a group!"
"I remember Brother Cheng also likes Tara! Go and inform Brother Cheng!"
"Brother Cheng, you're so perverted! I'm sure I'll have to crawl over here."
These rude remarks are made by domestic handsome men who have climbed over the wall.
It's so true. Park Ji-yeon has been disliked by Korean fans for quite some time. The fans are mainly female, but Tara's male fans in China are definitely the craziest fans in the history of girl groups.
Lin Cheng glanced at it hurriedly, but he didn't expect that Pu Zhiyan actually remembered to help him, but Lin Cheng quickly discovered the blind spot.
He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Park Ji-yeon: Where did your team uniform come from?
Park Ji-yeon: I bought it. Your team uniforms are very difficult to buy. I feel like I was cheated (crying)
Lin Cheng: You are stupid! Just tell me, I can get as much as you want.
Park Ji-yeon: (grieved)
Lin Cheng: But, thank you.
Park Ji-yeon: Remember to treat your sister to dinner (silly laugh)
Lin Cheng: Okay! Don’t take advantage of me anymore.
Park Ji-yeon: (smirking)
Lin Cheng replied in the comment area: Thank you (make fist) we will definitely win.
Afraid of being blocked by fans, Lin Cheng left after commenting.
But he didn't expect that domestic forums would soon get the news.
"Breaking the wall! Ji-yeon and Sun-mi's duel in the distance! In another circle?"
You must know that Tara is much more popular in China than in South Korea. They are called the Chinese e-sports girl group, and a very important part of Chinese fans are anti-Korean people in the e-sports circle.
Although it is strange, some of the big guys in the e-sports circle who clamored for the death of their fans every day often used to play League of Legends while listening to war songs a few years ago.
Although many of these people are about to get married or have already started a family, many of them were crazy supporters of Tara back then.
Where veteran players exist, there are the ‘Chinese Korean Women’s Team’ and the ‘Chinese E-Sports Women’s Team’.
