Hearing the male host's rebuttal make the Korean young man blush, everyone in Gao Lin was moved.
Standing on the other side of them, several members of the SKS team looked a little unhappy. Although they were unhappy with what the male host said, he was right. Their AFB team was indeed defeated by Huayi Star. Maybe the AFB team is not as strong as them, but it is also the top team in the country, otherwise it would not be able to participate in the Fed Cup finals.
Regarding the qualifications for this Fed Cup, South Korea's system is very different from other countries. Most other countries only need to win the first and second place in the Fed Cup domestic competition to qualify. However, Korean professional teams see this as The number of domestic points, that is to say, they will not conduct the domestic competition of the Federation Cup, but will be determined by the number of team points a team has obtained domestically. Only the two teams with the highest team points will be eligible to participate in the federation. Cup World Finals.
These team points are not so easy to get. They must rely on the team to accumulate in various domestic competitions. A professional team can only get higher points if it wins more competition honors and improves its ranking. This This is also the reason why the strength of Korean professional teams in previous international competitions is very strong. With a points system like theirs, it can be said that every team that can participate in international competitions is an elite team among the domestic elites, and their strength is definitely not the same. There will be any phenomenon of high achievement and low achievement.
If SKS is the strongest team in Korean "League of Legends" e-sports, then no one dares to steal AFB Korea's second position. Moreover, even if SKS faces AFB, no one dares to say that they can defeat them, even in the Korean Summer Split. Before the start, the AFB team's points were once 4 points ahead of the SKS team. If the SKS team had not won the championship in the final summer split and scored 10 points, surpassing the runner-up AFB team by 1 point, this Federation Cup World Championship would not have been completed. The spot in the finals will fall to the AFB team.
Seemingly knowing that he had spoken too much, he saw the Korean young man sitting with an awkward look on his face. The male host stopped paying attention to him, turned around, and after a few simple words, allowed the players from both teams to enter the contestants area.
Under the leadership of the competition personnel, Gao Lin and others walked towards the backstage area of the contestants area, and five people from the opponent SKS also walked there one after another.
As the captain of the team, Xiao Zifeng represented the team in drawing lots with Maketoon, the captain of the SKS team.
The method of drawing lots is as simple as the traditional one, toss a coin, the one who guesses correctly is on the blue side, and the one who guesses incorrectly is on the purple side.
"Max, long time no see." Xiao Zifeng stood with his counterpart Maketoon, who first greeted him in English.
"Haha, you guys will show mercy later." Xiao Zifeng responded with a smile.
"That should be what I said." Maketoon smiled humbly. The captain is the captain. His words and deeds have the air of a general. Even when facing life and death enemies who are waiting to compete on the same field, he can still show a neither humble nor arrogant. The mentality of neither being sad nor angry, thinking about it, is why the Korean team is so popular with Americans, but many people love the player Maketoon.
In the world e-sports circle, Russia's SDL, Julilanko of the 47 team, AeSeTion of the American UFT team, and Maketoon of the Korean SKS team are known as the three killers of "League of Legends" e-sports. Among them, Julilanko is the smiling killer, mainly because Normally, he always has a modest smile on his face. AeSeTion is called a hip-hop killer, which means he has a big personality and laughs at people all day long. Maketoon is called a cold-blooded killer. This is true. It’s not that he has a cold and stern personality, but that his playing style is very cold and stern, like a Han sharp sword that has been hidden in its scabbard for a long time and suddenly pulled out.
Hearing the two chatting like old friends, Gao Lin was surprised. Xiao Zifeng had never played in the Korean server, and the DAGA second-tier team he led before had never played against the SKS team. How could he be so familiar with Maketoon.
He was puzzled in his heart, and soon Gao Lin thought of something. Before joining the professional club, this Maketoon seemed to have played in the Asian server, but the ID was changed. Gao Lin once heard Xiao Zifeng say that he played in the Asian server with When the Koreans were fighting in the national war, they once encountered a very powerful mid laner whose ID was MK, who should be this Maketoon.
While the two were chatting, Gao Lin saw Maketoon glance at him, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
This man is very militant.
Just by meeting the other person's eyes, Gao Lin could read his heart.
Nodding politely to the other party, Gao Lin turned his attention to Xiao Zifeng and did not look at him again.
The results of the lottery came out quickly. Xiao Zifeng guessed the wrong side of the coin, so they walked to the contestant area on the right.
"Zifeng, that Maketoon is the MK you mentioned before, right?" Gao Lin walked into the player area and found a seat to sit down. Gao Lin turned his head and asked Xiao Zifeng.
"Well, yes." Xiao Zifeng nodded, "He is very powerful, you should pay attention to it later."
"Very powerful, how powerful is it? Can it compare to Julianko?" Su Jiantong asked curiously.
"I can't say for sure, but what I can be sure of is that his strength is definitely on par with Julilanko. Perhaps, after years of training, Julilanko won't be happy in his hands," Xiao Zifeng said.
"No, it's so big." Yang Tianshui opened his mouth wide.
"Please be careful with your language." Xiang Huidi, who was standing behind to help Gao Lin and others get their clothes, knocked Yang Tianshui on the head.
"Hey, Team Xiang, there are no outsiders here, so why can't we just talk?" Yang Tianshui said with a grimace, covering his painful head.
The most authoritative figure in the team is not Lu Hai, Xiao Zifeng, or Gao Lin, but Xiang Huidi, the team leader.
Xiang Huidi is a little woman. She doesn't dare to think about your status in the team or your identity. As long as you anger her, you will get no good results. Team coaches like Lu Hai will also be subject to her control.
"Cough." A familiar cough came in. Without thinking, Gao Lin knew who it was. It was a cough that they could remember in their minds in just a few games. Except for the domestic competition referee , who else could it be.
"Check the machine again to see if there are any problems. If there are any problems, raise them as soon as possible." Walking behind Gao Lin, the referee said.
Seeing the referee arriving as if on time, Gao Lin smiled and heard his cell phone ringing in his trouser pocket.
The competition does not stipulate that players cannot bring mobile phones during the competition, but it can stipulate that players cannot use all communication tools during the competition.
There was no competition at the moment, so Gao Lin took out his cell phone and saw a call from his cousin Mu Luorou.
At this time, what was his cousin calling him? He was surprised. Just as Gao Lin was about to answer the phone, his phone was snatched away by Xiang Huidi.
"There's already a competition, so why make a phone call?" Xiang Huidi glared at him.
"That's my cousin's phone number. How about you help my sister?" Gao Lin smiled with a hint of ridicule on his face.
