After training in the afternoon, Li Xu finally received a postcard from Lin Yuqing in the reception room of the training ground.
The postcard did not come with an envelope. Of course, postcards were used to run around naked, so it would lose its purpose once it was placed in an envelope. The design of the postcard was exactly the same as the one he sent out. Lin Yuqing's blessing was very simple: "I hope you will always feel warmth."
"That's too perfunctory! Compared to that, I'm much more thoughtful. "
Li Xu grumbled unhappily, but he could not hide the happiness on his face.
At night, Li Xu purposely browsed the news on the internet. SKT's official website had released the new season's poster. When he saw the team's poster, Li Xu's lips curled up, and he was very pleased with himself.
'As expected, I'm the most photogenic. Even if I'm not standing in the center position, I'm still the most handsome guy in SKT.'
Just by standing there, everyone's first attention was on Li Xu. It could not be helped. Putting aside his looks, Li Xu, who was 1.84 meters tall, was like a crane in a flock of chickens in SKT.
For the next few days, Li Xu was either playing solo or training with the team. When he was playing duo, he was usually playing with Clid. After all, the jungler of a top laner should be trusted the top laner.
Of course, if it was against BBQ in the Kespa Cup, the jungler of the enemy team was definitely the most trustworthy.
Sigh! He wondered how long the Swedish bro, Malice, would be able to last in BBQ.
However, this bro would not have it easy either. Li Xu's performance in SKT was very outstanding, and he had won the approval of many fans.
If the Swedish bro's poor performance continued, it would be good enough if BBQ's fans did not hand him knives.
After all, BBQ had broken the rules and brought in foreign aid before SKT. They were definitely hoping to get back into LCK. If they found out that this foreign aid was dragging them down, the whole team would become a laughing stock.

January 15th. At night, Li Xu did not train. He was browsing the internet out of boredom.
Tomorrow was the start of the LCK Spring Season. The opening match of the Spring Season was between SKT and JAG.
The promotional video for the LCK Spring Season had been released. Due to the start of the S9 season, the LCK Spring Season would be taken over by Fist. This time, the promotional video was also produced by Fist. Of course, it couldn't do without the cooperation of the various teams and players.
The promotional video started with very intense background music. The past LCK Spring Season trophies were outlined by silver lines. The handles on the sides of the trophies were drawn in an exaggerated arc from the top to the bottom. It looked a bit like the Big Ear Cup. The LCK League logo was engraved on the front. It was in the shape of a pentagram, with the head of an eagle embedded in it.
Then, the trophy began to show the images of the previous LCK Spring Season champions holding the trophy. Of course, these images would be permanently fixed because this trophy had become a thing of the past. The new LCK trophy would carry the glory.
The image changed, and the trophy disappeared. What appeared was the representative of Team KT from last year's Summer Season, the old captain Score. His back was facing the camera. He suddenly turned sideways. His eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to defend KT's dominance last season.
Then, it was the new mid laner BDD, who had joined KT from KZ this season, and the jungler Umit.
Then, the camera changed to show Score again. This time, Score was wearing the team uniform. He had both hands in his pockets. He lowered his head slightly and glared at the back of a figure wearing the AFS team uniform.
The camera zoomed in. This figure was Ucal, who had 'defected' from KT to join AFS this season. Ucal stared at Score sharply as if to say, "I didn't betray you. It was the team that abandoned me." Beside him was the core player of AFS, Kiin.
Then, a brand new trophy appeared. This was the new LCK Spring Season trophy announced by the Korean Fist branch.
This trophy was no longer as round as the previous ones. Instead, it was formed by intertwining silver cylindrical lines. More than 140 cylindrical lines represented the professional players of LCK. The top of the lines intertwined to form the shape of the trophy. In the middle of the trophy, there was a pentagon-shaped gap.
The lines were twisted into a spiral shape and narrowed at the bottom, representing competition.
The symbol of the LCK division, the 'star' and the 'eagle', had been retained. The top of the trophy was in the shape of a star, and the two handles were in the shape of wings. In the middle of the trophy, the LCK League logo was engraved.
The base of the trophy was engraved with the names of all the LCK champions and when they won the trophy. This would be added in the future.
The next to appear were the representatives of KZ and GEN G. Little Peanut was undoubtedly in the center position. He was even given a very handsome close-up.
After all, not to mention his skill level, Little Peanut's looks had attracted countless fans.
The next three new teams, DWG, GRF, and SBG, appeared one after another. Next was Thal, who had just joined HEL. After T Emperor left, SKT immediately took the center position. It was obvious that Fist had high hopes for him.
Finally, it was SKT's turn. One had to admit that Fist was really giving face to the Triple Champion.
Last season, SKT played so badly. In this season's one and a half minutes of promotional video, SKT was still the last to appear. They were also the only team that had close-up shots of all their members.
The last scene was a group photo of the representatives of each team.
Without a doubt, as the representative of the previous LCK promotional videos, Li Ge was still in the center position. On his right was his lifelong rival, Mr. Dai, and on his left was Chovy, who was known as Faker's successor.
One had to admit that LCK's promotional video was really cool. However, what made Li Xu unhappy was that he was not even shown from the front. He was only shown from the back with his ID printed on it.
Did Fist find him an eyesore? Everyone from SKT had a close-up shot. Of course, Li Xu had one as well. However, why did everyone else have such cool poses while he only had a close-up shot of his back?
Although his back was also very cool, in this day and age, even a minor character who was killed by the main character in a movie would have to turn his head around to show his face. It was not hard to imagine that the face was still the most intuitive part of the body.
'F * ck, is Fist blind? Isn't a close-up shot of my face more attractive than Little Peanut? Why is there a difference in treatment? '
Not to mention Li Xu's complaints, tomorrow's opening match had attracted enough attention.
It could be said that this match was full of highlights. The atmosphere on the Internet was heated. Not only was Captain Teddy going up against his old team, but the conflict between Li Xu and JAG's top laner, Lindarang, was also brought up again.
When Li Xu first joined SKT, the first professional player to question him was JAG's top laner, Lindarang. At that time, Li Xu had even challenged Lindarang to a one-on-one.
Of course, after the club intervened, the two finally had a chance to face each other head-on.
At that time, Li Xu had just entered the professional scene. It could be said that he was surrounded by enemies in the Korean eSports scene.
However, his reaction was not to be cautious and avoid making mistakes. Instead, he was like a provoked lion that bared its fangs.
This had to do with Li Xu's personality. He was never a person who would resign himself to adversity. Even if there were thousands of people standing in front of him, he would not let himself suffer.
If people respect me, I will respect them tenfold.
If people stab me, I will kill their entire family.
He was a person who drew a clear line between love and hate.
