However, the storm on social media did not subside.
"Li Jingheng, do you think you can just play dead? Get out of SKT. "
"Li Jingheng, take your China father and get out of SKT. Get out of Korea."
"China is a joke. I don't think he can even play."
In an instant, all kinds of accusations and insults came one after another. Even the professional players joined in.
Team JAG's top laner Lindarang: "I don't know how good this China guy is, but there are so many good top laners in Korea. Why didn't he use them?"
Li Xu could not take it anymore. He replied to SKT's official Twitter account, which had been bombarded the most.
"You bunch of trash, come and solo me if you don't like it. Call me daddy if you lose!"
"I'm not targeting anyone, but you're all trash. Come out and solo me if you have the guts."
Then, he singled out Lindarang: "Didn't you want to see my skill level? Come on, if you lose, you'll eat sh * t live. "
Everyone was shocked. Was this China guy so hot-tempered? He actually had the guts to say such a thing in front of so many internet trolls. In an instant, a torrent of spittle surged.
"Tell me your ID, solo me. Call me daddy if you lose."
"Arrogant China guy, come on, let me teach you how to play top laner."

However, in the midst of the scolding, there were also people who supported Li Xu.
Current LCK pro player Ruler: "I don't know what Li Xu did wrong. Why is he receiving so much criticism? He hasn't even played a single match. Why don't you watch his performance before commenting?"
Ruler's current teammate Peanut also supported Li Xu. "Some people only know how to type in front of the computer. They think that they don't have to take responsibility for what they say. They don't have to think about how their words will hurt others. These people are losers, cowards."
Peanut really hated these internet trolls.
In the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, during the fourth game of the finals against China, Little Peanut was substituted in, but he still couldn't turn the tide.
Peanut, who was already at the cusp of the storm, once again faced the endless attacks of the Korean trolls. Little Peanut planned to arrive in Korea on the second day of the Asian Games, arrange everything, and then meet the Korean players in a live broadcast at night. But the Korean trolls were really too awesome, and directly shut down Little Peanut's stream.
Kim Minna, the new beautiful host of the LCK league, said, "This is a new attempt in the history of LCK. I'm very happy to witness this moment. Korean eSports should be tolerant and progressive, not conservative."
SKT team's official statement was in support of Li Xu. "Sports are not differentiated by country, ethnicity, or skin color. It's the same in eSports. No one is born superior to others. The winner is king. Let's talk on the field. Good luck! Li Xu. "
In the end, of course, Li Xu wasn't able to solo the trolls. Even if he had the energy, the club wouldn't have allowed it.
However, Coach Kim Jong Xun promised him that as long as he was in good condition, he would have a chance to play in the Kespa Cup on the 20th.
For the rest of the training matches, Li Xu soloed alone and secretly changed his ID. He had no choice. He was at the cusp of the storm, and there were too many people impersonating him in the Korean server. Every time he entered the game and saw his ID, there would be a flurry of arguments and all kinds of acting, making it impossible for him to play the game.
After that, Li Xu didn't start any more live broadcasts. He silently increased his points.
After changing his ID, Li Xu's path to the top was smooth.
Tomorrow was the Kespa Cup competition. His opponent had been announced. It was the secondary league team APK.
However, whether Li Xu would be able to play tomorrow depended on today's training match. Unlike the internal training match, SKT had invited Gen. G to play in the training match.
Kim Jong Xun had already communicated with KHAN. Li Xu would replace KHAN in the first training match, along with the other four main players.
"Mission released. First official training match: Represent the team and win the training match. Reward: 2 potential points."
At three in the afternoon, Li Xu logged into his account in the competition server.
After changing his ID to SKTKING, he entered the room that had already been built.
Everyone was present.
Gen. G's lineup was CuVee, Peanut, Fly, Ruler, and Life.
SKT's lineup was Li Xu, Clid, FAKER, Teddy, MATA.
Before the time was up, both sides started chatting on the public chat.
Peanut: "Li Xu, you did well last time. I've been wanting to beat up those keyboard warriors for a long time. A bunch of retards. They can't play the game, so they only know how to spew sh * t."
Ruler: "That's right, that's right. F * ck, the Asian Games are over. I don't even dare to leave my house."
CuVee: "Which of the ten of them hasn't been spat on before? Even Faker would spew sh * t when the spammers go crazy."
Fly: "I've met Li Xu in the ranking matches. His Little Witch is a thief."
Li Xu: "If I perform well today, the coach will let me play tomorrow. I'm going to smack those spammers in the face one by one. Everyone, give me some face."
MATA: "You don't even know who the spammers are. How are you going to smack their faces?"
Li Xu laughed coldly. "I've already written down the names of the ones who were the happiest. When the time comes, I'll smack their real names one by one!"
The room fell silent.
Peanut: "I can't afford to offend you. If you're so vengeful, I wouldn't even dare to come to the top lane to catch gank."
Faker: "Let me see the name list. I'll compare the names and see if there's anyone on my blacklist."
Another round of silence. 'I didn't expect you to be like this, Li Ge.'
The few of them chatted awkwardly for a while before the training match officially began.
This was the first time they had faced each other this season. Both sides took it seriously. The players who were banned were strong heroes like Sword Magician and Urgot.
SKT was in blue, while Gen. G was in red.
SKT's lineup:
Top Laner: KING (Bobby)
Jungler: Clid (Blind Monk)
Mid Laner: Faker (Lisandro)
ADC: Teddy (Xia)
Assistant: MATA (Law)
Gen. G's lineup:
Top Laner: CuVee (Thain)
Jungler: Peanut (Zach)
Mid Laner: Fly (Zooey)
ADC: Ruler (Kesha)
Assistant: Life (Bloom)
There was not much difference in the strength of both sides' lineups. Gen. G had Zooey's attrition, while SKT's strength lay in their teamwork.
After entering the game, both sides met face to face at the river. They did not waste too much time. After leaving the river view, they went online.
Bobby was an interesting hero. He could passively pick up soap to give himself a shield. His W could block attacks, his E could provide crowd control, and his big move could send the enemy flying out of the battlefield. He could be considered one of the strongest heroes in terms of dividing the battlefield.
Both sides started off calmly. After all, this was a training match. The main thing was to test the players' condition. There was no need to play any tricks.
Both Thain and Bobby were top-laners. Both of them fought fiercely in the top lane, but it was just for show. Both of them had shields and did not lose much HP. Without a jungler to take care of them, neither of them had the upper hand.
The last hit was also a 50/50 chance. Li Xu's laning stats had reached 86, which was not weaker than the average LCK player. In addition, CuVee was not good at playing a top-laner like Thain, so Li Xu did not feel pressured at all.
"Li Xu, release the creeps. I'll catch a wave of them," Clid said in the voice chat.
However, CuVee was indeed a top-laner who had won the championship. After clearing the creeps, he immediately retreated to the defense tower and waited for the creeps behind him to come online. Clid could not find an opportunity and continued to crouch in the bushes.
Thain cleared the creeps and entered the side lane. At this time, the four people in the bottom lane were fighting fiercely. Bron's passive was already on Luo.
Li Xu suddenly found that a TP lit up behind the duo in the bottom lane. Thain was teleporting in the bushes. Without thinking much, he directly flashed into the bushes and pressed Thain against the wall. If Thain teleported behind Xia and Luo, it would be a big problem.
Thain's TP was interrupted. He was angry. He raised his axe and slashed with Bobby. One held a hammer, and the other held an axe. For a moment, the top lane in the canyon was filled with clanking sounds.
The Blind Monk did not reveal himself immediately. When Cheyenne and Bobby were fighting until their HP was less than half, he sneakily found an opportunity to appear. He touched his eyes and closed in. He slapped the ground and slowed down to Cheyenne's side. Then, he used Heaven's Sound Wave and took the head with a two-stage Q.
"Beautiful."
“nice。”
"Bobby's acting is not bad."
Originally, it was a battle at the bottom lane, but the top lane exploded with HP.
9 minutes later, the four people on both sides gathered in the crater. For the first time, the Fire Dragon burst. Thain did not have a TP, but Bobby directly TP persuaded the other side to retreat and took down the Fire Dragon.
