Because it was a last-minute idea, Su Yuhang didn't have any good choices for dinner. After hesitating for a while, he gave the decision to the girl.
Li Xianghe thought for a while and made a decision.
The two took the subway to downtown Seoul, walked through several crowded streets, and came to a barbecue restaurant.
Perhaps because of its location away from the city center, this barbecue restaurant with a wooden signboard seemed a bit empty, and not many people visited it.
"This store is where I used to have dinner with my teammates after participating in games."
"That was the first time I stood on the stage of a professional competition. Although there were still flaws in the cooperation with my teammates, I still won the game in the end."
"After the game, the coach was very happy and said he wanted to treat everyone to barbecue, and he chose this barbecue restaurant."
Li Xianghe said nonchalantly, while putting the barbecue on the plate into the baking pan, and his dark eyes peeked at the young man sitting opposite.
She originally wanted to take Su Yuhang to Myeongdong to eat Western food, but later she changed her mind.
She felt that this was the first time the two of them were alone together, so they needed to find a memorable place. After much deliberation, she found that this barbecue restaurant she had been to before was more suitable.
Although the location is a bit remote, the taste is not bad at all.
And not far from here is the venue where she participated in the first competition. On that stage, she used Nidalee to single-kill the long-famous Ambition, starting her own legend.
She was very happy when she had dinner with her teammates.
At that time, the person sitting across from me and toasting with him was none other than Bengi, who had retired and became the team coach.
"You will be playing in the game soon," she continued.
Letting substitute players play in the KeSPA Cup is something that the coach and management have already decided.
"Yes." Su Yuhang nodded.
When he was taking makeup photos on the TV station, Kim Jung-hoon talked to him about the game and made it clear when he would play - the KeSPA Cup at the end of the month.
If you perform well, you can naturally rotate with the regular team members in the bottom lane. If you perform poorly, you may have to guard the water dispenser.
"It's inevitable that you will be nervous when you play for the first time." She wrapped the cooked barbecue in dipping sauce and put it into Su Yuhang's bowl.
"However, you must believe in yourself and don't have any doubts about your own thoughts and choices." Li Xianghe raised his eyes, his dark eyes showing his trust in the young man.
Before he made his debut on the field, Bengi also looked at her with this look, his eyes showing his absolute trust in her.
It is precisely because of this trust from her teammates that she can perform normally under the heavy pressure of veteran Ambition as a fledgling.
When Mantis reached level six and evolved his skills, she took action decisively without hesitation and killed him under the defense tower.
Accompanied by the screams and cheers of the audience, Nidalee, who had completed the kill, transformed into a cheetah and left the scene, with a graceful and agile back.
"You and Wolf have been getting along for a while. In the evening, I will also play double queue with you."
"Your hero pool is very deep and your awareness is very good. You can clearly understand the movements of the opponent's jungler."
"As long as you continue to maintain your current competitive state, I think you will be able to shine on the competition field."
She has great expectations for Su Yuhang.
When the two of them were playing in tandem, she would cut the screen to the bottom lane from time to time. Every time, she could see the boy's strong suppression and control in the lane.
Even when faced with a gank from the jungle, he can still deal with it with his excellent operations.
Logically speaking, such a player doesn't need to worry about anything and can just perform normally.
But when she thought of the ridiculing and sarcastic words on the Internet, she still felt a little uneasy.
After eating the barbecue, Li Xianghe sent the boy downstairs to the apartment as usual, and then returned to the base for the evening live broadcast.
The team's training continued as usual. After two consecutive weeks of hard work, Su Yuhang's account was successfully promoted to the strongest king. Although the ranking is not high, it is also a manifestation of strength.
In order to celebrate the success of the first male player in the LCK division to advance to the championship, the SKT team also sent a tweet.
Naturally, Twitter sparked heated discussions from countless people.
Most people don't believe that boys can reach such a high rank in League of Legends. Some people even reported to Riot officials that there was power-training behavior behind this.
What's more, some people speculate with malicious intent, thinking that this new substitute player and team members reached some kind of ulterior deal to promote his account to the king.
Facing the comments below, Su Yuhang didn't care at all, because tomorrow is the official opening day of the KeSPA Cup.
He will stand on that much-anticipated stage as an SKT player and use his performance on the field to shut up all those who question and ridicule him!
…………
Gangnam City Center
The latest LOL Park is still under construction and will not be put into use until next year, so the KeSPA Cup will still be held in the old venue.
The venue is not big, but because SKT is participating in the game, the ticket office is packed with people.
Following the footsteps of Kim Jung-hoon, the team members entered the venue from the player tunnel next to it.
Su Yuhang walked at the end. He looked up at this grand venue and clenched his plain hands slightly.

"Today is our first game of SKT's new season." Kim Jung-hoon, standing in the middle, encouraged the players before the game.
"Although we performed poorly in the previous World Championships and were not able to win the championship again."
"But those failures and humiliations are over, and we start again today!"
"We have only one goal this season, which is to be number one and win the championship!"
No one has any doubts about such bold words. This team that has won the World Championship three times has such confidence.
At the same time, the domestic DouYu platform is also broadcasting this KeSPA Cup.
The two female commentators were ready in the commentary box.
"After experiencing the defeat of S7, SKT reorganized its team members, not only adding new assistant Effort, but also recruiting a new ADC substitute."
"I believe everyone should have a certain understanding of this substitute ADC. He is the first Chinese to appear in the LCK and the first male player to appear in the LCK."
"Previously, the official sent a tweet to celebrate player Su Yuhang's successful promotion to the strongest king. This should be the first boy to become the king in the game League of Legends, right?"
The two commentators were discussing, and the barrage in the live broadcast room was also arguing wildly.
The focus of the debate is not the legendary mid laner Li Xianghe, but the newly added substitute Su Yuhang.
"Can a boy be the king? Anyway, I don't believe it."
"So what if I don't believe it? The team official has already sent a tweet, and there are also screenshots of the results and ranks."
"I saw that screenshot, and it feels too fake. You lost just one game in dozens of ranked matches? All the way from the qualifying rounds to becoming the king?"
"I've also seen it. With such a terrifying winning rate, I feel like it's difficult even for female players to achieve it."
"Whether it's fake or not, Su Yuhang will be on the field later. Everything will be based on the performance on the field."
