Speaking of mock competitions, during the quarterfinals, SKT had played mock competitions with teams from the other half, including FPX. At that time, SKT's win rate was very high.
However, mock competitions were different from official competitions. There were many mock competitions where the gods of mock competitions pulled their opponents down.
First, there was the invincible TSM who began to perform acrobatics in the official competition. For several years, they could not even make it out of the group stage.
Then, there was last year's RNG mock competition where they won more than 40 consecutive matches and were sent home in the quarterfinals.
One by one, the gods of mock competitions used their bloody and teary results to show everyone that mock competition results were meaningless. No one could tell whether they performed exceptionally in the mock competition or pulled their opponents down in the actual competition.
Therefore, the members of SKT did not underestimate their opponents. Every one of them seriously studied their opponent's tactical habits.
What positions did the opponent like to set up their eyes on? What situations did the support roam when choosing heroes that were easy to lane out? What was the easiest way to discover the opponent's four-man carry strategy?
These things could be reflected in the video recordings to a large extent. Once the players were prepared, they would be able to deal with the situation more freely on the field.
However, preparation was one thing. It was hard to say whether the opponent would pull out some unexpected black technology when the time came.
Previously, every time Mike started to put on a show in the finals, his flashy BP would make even his own teammates feel dizzy, let alone his opponents.
November 8th, two days before the start of the finals, Li Xu woke up early in the morning and rang Choi Jung-yeon's doorbell.
Choi Jung-yeon opened the door. She was still in her pajamas. Her hair was disheveled, and she rubbed her eyes. "Li Xu, what's up? It's only seven o 'clock. Why are you knocking on the door? "
"Nu, don't forget what you promised me yesterday. You have to pick me up from the airport today."
Lin Yuqing and Kim Jin-hee's flight would land at Charles de Gaulle Airport in the afternoon. Last night, Li Xu had asked Choi Jung-yeon to pick him up from the airport.
Li Xu had planned to go by himself, but today was the day of the finals' promotional video. He could not leave.
Choi Jung-yeon leaned against the door. She squinted her eyes and waved her hand. She looked sleepy. "Aiya! I won't forget. Don't worry about me. "
"Really?"
"Really, I'll sleep for a while more. I'm so sleepy."
"Then I'm relieved. You can go back to sleep first."
Li Xu turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly felt uneasy. "By the way, Nu, what time does the flight arrive?"
"Hmm? What time is it … Let me think. "
Choi Jung-yeon leaned against the door and stared blankly at Li Xu. After two seconds of silence, she said, "Oh right, what time did you say it was?"
"…"
Li Xu was speechless. "Can you be more reliable? It's a nine o 'clock flight. Don't forget. "
"Aiya! Don't worry, I'll remember it. "
Choi Jung-yeon waved her hand and rubbed her eyes. She turned around and was about to enter the house.
"Don't!"
Bang!
"Ahhh ~ ~ ~"
Choi Jung-yeon turned around in confusion. Hearing Li Xu's screams outside the door, she shook her head, groped her way to the bed, and fell asleep.
… …
"What happened to you?"
Li Ge was currently brushing his teeth when he saw Li Xu holding his nose and walking in with tears in his eyes.
"Nothing."
"You're crying. Is there something sad?"
"Nothing, I'm just touched."
Li Ge's hand paused for a moment. Biting on his toothbrush, he had a puzzled look on his face. Why are you feeling touched so early in the morning?
"Have you talked to Assistant Cui? You asked her to help pick you up. "
"Yes, Nu agreed. That's why I'm so touched."
"… …"
Li Xu took a deep breath and suddenly remembered the message that Kim Ji-hyun sent him. "Oh right, Li Ge, do you think that I'll be in the All-star voting this year?"
Li Ge took a sip of water and glanced at him, then raised his head and rinsed his mouth. "Gurgle ~ ~ ~ Ptui, what are you doing? The finals haven't even started and you want to go to the All-star Competition? "
"Isn't it mainly because there are only two spots? You've already taken one of the latrines … "
Guapi glared at him. "What latrines? Speak properly. "
"Don't mind these details."
Li Xu chuckled. "The competition for the other latrine spot is too fierce. I don't have the confidence. Can you help me think of a way?"
Li Ge could be considered as the God of the LCK region's All-star Competition. During the first All-star Competition in S3, Sect Leader An was selected as the most popular mid laner in the LCK region. After that, Sect Leader An was relegated to the jungler position. Li Ge firmly held onto that position while the others fought for the other All-star spot.
Li Ge's popularity was too high. It was fine for the other players as long as they performed well, they still had a chance to participate in the All-star Competition. However, the other LCK mid laners were a bit pitiful. Before Li Ge retired, they probably wouldn't be able to participate in the All-star Competition.
Thinking about LCK's genius mid laner, it was a little sad. BDD, Chovy, Showmaker, and the others would probably only be able to say "Since Yu was born, why was Liang born?" when the All-star voting started.
"Then what are you trying to do? I can't control the voting. How am I supposed to help you? "
"In terms of skill, I have no problem. The main thing is that the All-star Competition is for the region. I'm just afraid that other than SKT fans, no one will vote for me."
Li Xu tried his best to look sincere. "Li Ge, you know that I'm a foreigner. It's not easy for me to make a name for myself. I just want you to help me get votes when the time comes.
For example, you can record a video on YouTube and help me get votes. Or you can casually mention in an interview that it would be a pity if the best top laner in the World Championship couldn't make it to the All-star Competition. "
Guapi wiped his mouth and looked at Li Xu. Why was this person so shameless? He actually described himself as the best top laner in the world.
"Why don't you go and get votes yourself? The voting will start a week after the finals. Won't it be easy for you to get votes yourself when you win the championship? "
"That …"
Li Xu was slightly embarrassed. "You know, my reputation on the internet isn't very good. I'm afraid that the people who vote for me will deliberately disgust me."
Li Ge raised his eyebrows. You actually know that your reputation isn't good? What were you doing when you were talking about it? Before the World Championship, you invited all the other teams. You should count yourself lucky that no fans of the other teams blocked you at the airport. Only now did you remember to rely on others for votes?
"If that's the case, I won't help you get votes, but I'll give you an idea. I guarantee that you'll get enough votes."
"Really?"
Li Xu was happy. He reached out and patted Guapi's shoulder. "Good brother Li Ge, I didn't see wrongly."
Guapi picked up his glasses and slowly put them on. He looked at Li Xu sincerely.
"You can learn from what Pei Junzhi did last year. Go to Twitter and post: I'm going to wear female clothes to the All-star Competition. I sincerely hope that everyone will vote for me.
I believe that no matter if it's the LCK fans who like you or hate you, they will do their best to vote for you. "
Li Xu: "…"
