Kim Ji-hyun: "Wow! Miss Eunjung is in the audience. Is she here to cheer for Faker? "
As former colleagues, Kim Ji-hyun had a good relationship with Zhao Eunjung. Of course, he knew that their relationship was not as' close 'as the netizens had imagined.
Park Ji-hwan: "I think Faker is going to show his strength today. He's seeing the host Eunjung that he missed so much."
Kim Ji-hyun teased, "Too bad we didn't know Miss Eunjung was coming. Otherwise, we could have communicated with her beforehand and let her do the post-match interview."
Finally, Caster started to introduce Clid. Clid's figure replaced Zhao Eunjung's on the screen.
Li Ge regained his composure and glared at Clid.
Clid panicked. What should I do? I've offended the big boss. Will there be a place for me in SKT in the future?

Finally, SKT's members were introduced, and GEN • G's members entered the arena.
The first to appear was CuVee. After the S7 draw, SSG had to face the Longzhu team that everyone had high hopes for. CuVee smiled and nodded under the camera. Then, the corners of his mouth sank. He could not hold it in any longer, and in the end, he was on the verge of crying. This series of emojis had amused the netizens.
Since Sect Leader An had already killed the Three Star Traitor and everyone was looking down on him, CuVee showed his magic.
CuVee, who claimed to be "good for ten months in a year, but awesome for two months", once again proved that he wasn't the same as he was in the Spring Season during the playoffs and the World Championship. He directly crushed Khan, who was regarded as the strongest top laner.
"I, Factory Manager, am better than CuVee in this aspect. I, Seven-chan, can be awesomeness for ten months in a year, but I'm happier in the two months of the World Championship."
Behind CuVee were Peanut, Fly, Ruler, and the new support player, Life.
Li Xu was already very familiar with the members of GEN • G. Perhaps it was because they were in the same boat, but these few players were often attacked by the Korean trolls. These old friends of his often expressed their support for Li Xu on social media, but this was the first time they had met in a competition.
In the S4 World Finals, the two teams under the Samsung Group, SSW and SSB, both made it into the semi-finals. After SSW eliminated SSB and advanced to the finals, they defeated the previous runners-up, Royal Pack, 3: 1 in Seoul's Shang Rock Stadium and won the World Finals.
Then, the bosses from China waved their checks and poached the two strong teams. All ten members of the two three-star teams left the team.
After that, the Samsung Group reorganized the teams. Due to LCK's rule that a club could no longer have two teams under their banner, a new Samsung Group was born, which was Team SSG.
SSG had accepted Sect Leader An when he was at his lowest point. After that, Sect Leader An always performed brilliantly whenever he faced a team of a three-star traitor who chose to run away. He was the one who set the pace and carried the entire battle.
In the S7 World Championship, the three-star traitors were sent out of the World Championship one by one. Since then, the legend of Sect Leader An killing three-star traitors one by one was born.
In the S7 World Finals, SSG first defeated the hottest team, Longzhu, with a 3: 0 score. In the finals, they displayed a suffocating dominance and swept away SKT with a 3: 0 score, lifting the championship trophy in Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium.
After winning the championship, SSG was acquired by the American company Esport and changed its name to KSV. In less than half a year, KSV changed its name to Generation Gaming, which was the current Team GEN • G.
Although some people did not agree with this new Team GEN • G, believing that it could not be compared to a three-star team, the truth was that this team was completely based on SSG, and the core players had not changed much.
This season, Crown Bro's condition had deteriorated so much that he was sent to North America. CoreJJ had also gone to North America's Team Liquid and formed a new bottom lane duo with Doublelift, vowing to dominate the LCS.
With Sect Leader An's retirement, GEN • G had spent a lot of money to sign Little Peanut, vowing to make a name for himself.
Little Peanut was the first player in LCK history to participate in five consecutive finals, from the 2016 LCK Spring Season to the 2018 LCK Spring Season!
However, Little Peanut did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had been the first runner-up for so many times.
So far, Little Peanut had participated in twelve finals, and was the first runner-up seven times. Whether it was a domestic or international competition, Peanut had been the first runner-up in almost every competition that he could participate in.
He had been the first runner-up in the LCK Spring Season, first runner-up in the Summer Season, first runner-up in the MSI Mid-Season, second runner-up in the Intercontinental, second runner-up in the World S Finals, and second runner-up in the one and only Asian Games in Jakarta.
It could even be said that in the future, it would be very difficult for a player to surpass Little Peanut's first runner-up achievements. This was because no one knew if anyone could ever become the first runner-up of an Asian Games.
Now, Little Peanut was only one runner-up away from completing the grand slam of the first runner-up title.
That's right, the first runner-up of the Kespa Cup. Was it because Little Peanut longed to be the first runner-up? Or was it because he resisted it?
Li Xu looked at Little Peanut's fair and clear face as he guessed mischievously.
The players from both teams stood still, bowed to the audience, and then began to adjust their equipment.
"Is the atmosphere at every match like this, hmm? Is it so passionate?" Lin Yuqing asked Zhao Enjing.
She had only been to the competition venue three times. The first two times, people had booed Li Xu. This time, no one was boycotting Li Xu. Only the fans of both teams were cheering, but the atmosphere was even more passionate and restless.
"Of course not. Usually, it's only like this in the finals, and it's only when SKT is in the finals. Furthermore, SKT hasn't been in the finals for a year."
Zhao Enjing explained patiently. She was very surprised that this gentle girl of her age was actually a teacher at Seoul University.
'However, I might have a chance to stay and teach at Pear University after graduation, right?'
After all, in a country like Korea where the Confucius Festival was held every year, the income and social status of teachers were very high.
In Korea, professions like doctors, lawyers, and teachers were very respected. On the contrary, it was celebrities, especially ordinary celebrities, who were very low in social status.
Although many Korean celebrities were very popular, they were different from China. In the eyes of most Koreans, they were not big shots. Koreans did not think highly of them, and some people even boycotted them because they did not understand how some celebrities could earn so much money so easily.
Of course, national treasures like Song Kanghao and Yoo Zaishi were still very respected. The same went for influential celebrities like Lee Junji and Sun Yizhen.
However, these people who stood at the top of the industry were not related to their profession. No matter what profession they were in, they were worthy of respect.
