On the 24th of January, Li Xu woke up early. Waking up, eating, taking a walk, and then working out in the gym were his game-day package.
SKT would welcome the third round of the league this afternoon, which was also the start of the second week of the competition.
"Ding! Mission: Moment of Glory. Obtain at least one MVP in three consecutive rounds. Reward: 2 potential points, free to distribute. "
Finally, there was a mission! Li Xu was only two attribute points away from completing the side mission of the balanced warrior. Now, he finally had the chance to complete the mission. He wondered what new functions the system would have after the upgrade.
The competition had not even started, but Li Xu had already shamelessly booked himself as the MVP.
When he returned to the training room, Li Xu was surprised to find that MATA was already sitting in front of the computer and playing games. He took a closer look and was shocked.
What kind of godlike data was 0123? And what was a support Blademaster?
At this time, all four of his teammates were crazily requesting to interact with MATA in the chat. MATA's expression was listless. Looking at his teammates' explosive output in the chat, he could not help but criticize his teammates.
MATA's Blademaster directly launched a suicidal charge at the opposing team's bottom lane, once again sending his head to the opposing team's AD.
Li Jiu felt a chill down his spine as he watched from behind. Today's MATA was too abnormal. It was as if he was taking revenge on society. In the past, whenever MATA started arguing with random teammates, the most MATA could do was just passively AFK.
Moreover, it was now nine o 'clock in the morning. At this time, MATA would usually be sleeping.
"That, MATA, what are you doing?" Li Xu asked.
MATA turned his head and licked his dry lips. "Ah! Li Xu, you're here. I'm bored, so I'm killing time. "
What the f * ck was killing time! He wondered what MATA's teammates would think if they heard him.
"You're not in a good mood?" Li Xu felt that MATA's expression was not too good.
"Oh, it's nothing. Just a small conflict with my girlfriend. It's not a big deal."
MATA did not want to say more, so Li Xu did not ask further. He turned on the computer and silently started ranking. He felt that the conflict MATA was talking about was not small.

In the afternoon, the entire SKT team boarded the team bus and headed to the competition venue. Today, SKT's match was scheduled to start at 5 pm.
At four o 'clock, most of the seats in the Lolpark stadium were already filled with spectators, and there was still a steady stream of people entering the stadium. Even if it was a working day, as long as SKT was participating in a match, the LCK stadium's attendance rate would not be low.
Today, SKT's opponent was this season's newly promoted team, SBG. Although it was a newly promoted team, this team's playstyle was not conservative. The players were meticulous and dared to fight.
Previously, Li Xu had watched the match between SBG and GEN G live, and this team had left a deep impression on him. Onfleek, the jungler, was very aggressive, and he brought the pace of the game very quickly.
This team's jungler and support were very good at finding opportunities to loot map resources. In the two matches against GEN G, they had used their junglers to loot small dragons early on, taking the vanguard position in the canyon. GEN G had only managed to loot an insignificant wind dragon in both matches.
In the first two matches, SBG had defeated GEN G and KZ with a score of 2: 0. Currently, they were also at the top of the leaderboard with a winning record of both matches.
SBG's full name was SANDBOXGaming, which translated to "Sandbox". Previously, they were a Korean Challenger Cup team, Team Battle Games. In the secondary league, they had obtained second place and were promoted to the LCK league. After that, they were acquired by Sandbox and changed their name to SBG.
However, in the Korean Professional League, this team's name was abbreviated to "SB". The broadcasters also directly abbreviated the team's name to "SB" at the top of the screen.
The word "SB" did not have any special meaning in other countries, but it was different in China. When this name appeared in the competition, countless Chinese viewers could not help but laugh.
However, this was not the first time that the abbreviation of "SB" had appeared. The abbreviation of the Vietnamese DOTA team, Starboba, was also abbreviated to "SB". Once upon a time, the name of the SB team alone could make China's players tremble.
Moreover, in the SBG team, their support player's ID was the same as the Chinese commentator, Joker's.
Therefore, when SB Joker appeared in the competition, the scene on the bullet screen of Huya's live broadcast was like a riot of devils. (Toxic commentator Joker: F * ck, if you don't change your name, I'll f * ck you to death!)
Joker was also the oldest professional player in the LCK. He was born in 1991, and according to Korea's nominal age, he was already 28 years old.
In SKT's preparation room, everyone was still waiting for the competition to begin.
Li Ge was excitedly playing a bridge-building game. Previously, Li Ge had frantically recommended the game to Li Xu. Li Xu had tried it out, but he was stuck at the last level. After a long time of not making any progress, he had lost his temper and deleted the game on the spot.
Clid was still staring at his phone screen with a wretched smile. Li Xu was very curious. How did Clid master such a wretched smile without showing his teeth?
MATA was still lying on the chair in his signature lazy posture, but he no longer closed his eyes to rest. His eyes were wide open as he stared blankly at the ceiling, as if everything in the world was floating clouds.
Teddy and Li Xu stared at MATA and whispered to each other.
Li Xu said, "Teddy, what do you think is going on with MATA? He's been distracted all day. Early in the morning, I saw MATA taking revenge on society in the game. He didn't even react when his teammates scolded him. "
Teddy said, "I don't know. He's been like this for a day. I didn't dare to ask!"
Li Xu said, "I casually asked him this morning. He said he had a small argument with his girlfriend. Looking at him, it's not a small argument."
Teddy was not sure. "He didn't come back last night. I think he went to his girlfriend's place. Maybe he had a fight with her."
At this time, MATA turned around and stared at the two through his black-rimmed glasses.
The two immediately stopped talking. MATA's current state was quite creepy.

The Korean broadcasters for today's competition were still Kim Ji-hyun and Park Ji-hwan. Compared to the Chinese broadcasters, the commentators for the LCK Korean broadcasters were relatively fixed. Of course, there were often cases of them skipping shifts.
Kim Ji-hyun said, "Today is the first day of the second week of the LCK Pro League. SKT will welcome the new team of the LCK Pro League, SB Squad. This is a brand new team. The two teams have never faced each other before."
Park Ji-hwan said, "Before the start of the LCK Spring Season, everyone thought that this newly promoted team would be the most popular team to be relegated this season. However, in the first two rounds of the competition, SB Squad defeated the veteran teams GEN G and KZ with a score of 2: 0. Now, no one dares to underestimate this team."
Kim Ji-hyun said, "The two teams that performed well in the first two rounds are facing each other head-on. I wonder who will be able to maintain their undefeated record?"
