Koreans are very real. As opponents, they naturally do not expect how well players from other teams will perform. Fans of other teams are mostly sarcastic towards Lin Cheng.
As for Lin Cheng's level, they don't really care.
At this time, KT will be as disgusting as possible.
After all, as a long-established club, KT has many fans and many enemies.
Just like last year when SKT went to the World Championship, in the eyes of outsiders they were the last hope of the LCK.
However, in fact, most fans of other LCK teams want SKT to die.
Don't tell me about the co-prosperity of the competition regions. I cheered for the team before the game without them, and after the game, I insulted and ridiculed them for charging ahead.
SKT and Brother Li have many fans, but with more fans comes more and more hatred.
The LCK side has been agitated about the entry of a Chinese player. Although fans have different attitudes, several commentators have expressed their welcome to Lin Cheng's joining.
Roaring Emperor Continuous Caster liked KT's official announcement on INS, "Wow~~~ I never thought that I would have the opportunity to commentate on the games of foreign players in the LCK, but this is undoubtedly a positive signal. Come on, Cheng.
!I look forward to the day when I can shout for you. (Like, like)”
The cry of the continuous caster will only appear in two situations, either the LCK finals or the World Championship.
Although it was just a scene, other commentators also expressed goodwill towards Lin Cheng after the senior continuous caster's statement.
CT: "E-sports is all about strength. I look forward to the day when Cheng will make his debut. KT really needs some changes now."
Yoon So-bin, a new female host who joined this season: "Come on, come on! I believe player Cheng will not disappoint KT fans."
Jin Mina, a female host who has attracted much attention since last year, also replied on INS:
"Hmm~~~ Maybe my focus is different from my predecessors, but player Cheng is really handsome. I look forward to having the opportunity to interview this player. (laughing)"
······
A few minutes after the news was released on the Korean website, KT's official Weibo in China also announced the news of Lin Cheng joining, and also posted his photo.
In the photo, Lin Cheng is wearing a white long-sleeved team uniform and standing in front of the camera, with his hands hanging naturally, his body slender and straight, and his facial features strong and sunny. He just looks at the camera, with inexplicable confidence and calmness in his eyes.
Hello everyone, this is KT Rolster.
The 2020 new season has entered the third week, and we are happy to announce that top laner Lin Cheng (ID: Cheng) has chosen to start his career with KT at this point in time. Cheng will play side by side with KT in the following time.
Please continue to send your support to KT fans in the following games, thank you.
At the same time, I don’t know if it is to attract the interest of Chinese fans. KT’s official blog specifically states Lin Cheng’s identity information at the back. His nationality is Chinese and he is currently on leave from Seoul National University.
As soon as this news came out, it directly detonated the domestic League of Legends circle.
"Damn it! KT always plays the big game and just found a Chinese guy? He's from Seoul National University, what a guy!"
"Is this fake? The LCK actually has a Chinese supporter? Ye Qingjie."
"Wow!! This ID is the director's friend in the two-tier team some time ago, right? He's also from Seoul National University."
"I've only heard voices before, but I didn't expect Brother Chengzi to be so handsome. I'm so fucked!"
"Qi-chan's corner has been poached! Doesn't this mean that he will defect to Qi-chan next year? He actually went to KT to play professionally first."
"At this moment, Qijiang realized the power of backstabbing."
"When the factory director transferred from WE to EDG, did he ever think about the day he would be stabbed in the back? 23333."
"Hurry up and call Wanwan, Brother Chengzi has made his debut."
"There are Chinese people in the LCK? The two chefs of the Colonel are ecstatic, go to Colonel Aite quickly."

Regarding the rare occurrence of a Chinese foreign player in the LCK, domestic netizens are extremely interested, and keyboard kings from all walks of life have expressed their opinions after hearing the news.
Some people expressed their expectations and blessings for Lin Cheng's career in the LCK.
Some people are angrily accusing Lin Cheng of not having a sense of national honor and actually going to South Korea to play professionally.
Some people were delighted and joked that in the future, Chinese players would have the opportunity to serve their country loyally in international competitions.
For a while, the popularity of KT's official blog increased rapidly, and it quickly reached the homepage.
KT’s official operators experienced the feeling of being on trending searches for the first time.
This hot search was not bought with money.
The LPL commentators also expressed their opinions on KT's signing. Having just won the second S-match trophy, the LPL commentators are speaking more arrogantly than before.
Miller: "Is this the Korean version of buying Chinese players if you can't beat them? The LCK will actually buy Chinese players. My youth is over!"
Wawa: “Three years after three years, three years after three years, it’s been ten years since League of Legends! Do you know how I got through these ten years? In the past, we were the only ones buying Korean players, but today it’s finally the LCK’s turn to buy Chinese players.
Already."
Rita: "Although this Cheng is a pure passerby, (that's the idea, right? Laughs) he was not trained by LPL, but this can be regarded as a signal. I wonder if more Chinese players will go to other competition regions in the future.
.”
Remember to start working directly: "Maybe one day, Koreans will lose confidence in League of Legends and e-sports, because the domination of LPL continues to this day, but please don't forget that they have Cheng, the first in LCK history.
China’s foreign aid. (呲ya)”
Zeyuan was the first to repost the flower job he remembered, "Good job."
Remember: "What does the senior colonel think?"
Zeyuan: "I heard that Coach Hirai personally recruited Cheng for trial training. Although I have never paid attention to this player before, I believe there must be a reason why Hirai is so optimistic about him. Come on Lin Cheng! I look forward to your performance."
I remember joking: "If we remember correctly, Coach Hirai broke all your predictions of 100 in S8. Do you still believe in him so much?"
Zeyuan: (covering his face and bursting into tears)
Keji also retweeted this post on Weibo, "If KT faced GEN·G, who would you support?"
Zeyuan: "Of course I still support GEN·G."
······
Lin Cheng didn't know what kind of craze KT's Weibo had caused in China. He was on the phone at the moment.
"Mom, how did you know that I went to work professionally?"
"You still ask? If your cousin hadn't called me after seeing the news, I would still be in the dark. Why didn't you discuss it with me after you dropped out of school?"
Lin Cheng apologized, "Oh! I don't understand your character yet? Mom, you and dad will definitely support me, right?"
Mother Lin snorted: "Actually, we don't object to you playing games..."
"That's not called playing games, that's e-sports." Lin Cheng corrected.
"It's all the same, I don't care what you did."
Mother Lin didn't care at all, "Anyway, you won't be going to school this year, so you have to do something important for me."
