On the 16th of February, SKT easily defeated GEN • G with a score of 2: 0. Li Ge and Clid were awarded the MVP awards.
This was also the first time that Li Xu had not been awarded the MVP award in a match that SKT had won.
Of course, it could not be said that Li Xu had not performed well. In fact, the entire SKT team was in excellent condition.
However, there would be no harm if there was no comparison. Whether one performed well or not still depended on their peers!
Li Ge was able to win the MVP award because Fly, who was on the opposite team, was too weak. Li Ge completely destroyed him in the lane. If Fly's Sindera dared to look at Li Ge's Little Temptress, Li Ge would immediately kill him. It was not surprising that Li Ge, who had achieved four solo kills in the lane, was awarded the MVP award in the first match.
It was the same for Clid. Little Peanut had farmed the entire match. In comparison, Clid, who had driven the tempo of the match, had a high success rate in gank, and had helped his teammates gain a huge advantage, was awarded the MVP award in the second match.
When they shook hands after the match, Li Xu paid special attention to Chi Di. He was no longer as high-spirited as he was when he fought against SKT in the Kespa Cup.
The first round of the competition was almost over. GEN • G had only won two matches and was currently in the relegation zone.
This was something that Chi Di, who had been aiming for the championship at the beginning of the season, had not expected.
On the 20th of February, there was a match against KT. Li Xu woke up early, ate his breakfast, and went to the gym to train as usual.
However, when he entered the gym, he saw that Li Ge was already running on the treadmill, puffing and puffing.
"Yo! Li Ge, what brings you to the gym? "
Li Ge slowed down the treadmill and looked at Li Xu with a serious expression.
"I think that a strong physique might be able to help me maintain a better state on the field. Look at TL's AD player, Double Life, he likes to work out. I think that his fitness habits have something to do with him being able to maintain a top-notch state from S1 until now."
"Cut the crap!"
Li Xu rolled his eyes. Guapi's words could only fool an honest child like Lin Xiaole. Anyway, Li Xu wouldn't believe a single word of it.
Li Ge pushed up his glasses. "I saw Miss Eunjeong's photos yesterday. She has a habit of working out. I think this habit is good."
Hehe! This Guapi was too realistic.
Li Xu was too lazy to complain. For Li Ge, who relied on massages to take the initiative to work out, Li Xu guessed that it had something to do with Zhao Enjing.
However, it seemed that he had no right to mock Li Ge now.
In any case, it was a good thing that Li Ge was willing to exercise. Sitting in front of the computer for a long time and maintaining the same posture required more exercise. Massaging alone would not solve the problem.
Li Xu was warming up on one side, while Li Ge was sweating on the treadmill.
After warming up, Li Xu instructed Li Ge to lie on the dumbbell stool and do dumbbell shoulder presses. This action could not only help shape the shoulders, but it was also quite beneficial for e-sports players who sat in front of the computer for a long time. After all, there were many professional players who suffered from shoulder periarthritis.
Teddy's neck was often sore because of long-term training. Every time he returned to the preparation room, Li Xu would see Teddy constantly patting his neck muscles.
Even when playing on the stage, Teddy would often be caught on camera patting his neck muscles.
However, Teddy was the same as Li Ge. Li Xu advised him several times to exercise more. Teddy agreed, but every time he went to the massage room for a while, he would immediately forget about it when his shoulders and neck no longer hurt.
"This dumbbell is so heavy." Li Ge did a few shoulder presses and immediately complained that he was tired.
"Big brother, this is already the lightest dumbbell. It's less than three kilograms. You can do two more. It's fine if you feel a little tired. If you force yourself, you'll strain your muscles."
Li Xu's phone rang. He ignored Li Ge and took the phone beside him. With one hand on the dumbbell stool, he squatted beside Li Ge and looked at it.
"Eight, nine, ten."
Li Ge let out a long breath and lowered the dumbbell in his hand.
In the end, Li Ge's dumbbell just happened to hit Li Xu's left hand that was holding the dumbbell stool.
"Ouch! Ah!"
Li Xu jumped up and covered his left hand. He looked at Li Ge with grief and indignation.
"What the hell? Don't you know the rules of the underworld? Put the equipment back to its original position after using it."
Li Ge looked at Li Xu nervously. "I didn't notice you squatting beside me. Quick, look at your injury. Go to the hospital. "
Li Xu let go of his right hand. His left pinky finger was obviously red and swollen.
Fortunately, the dumbbell stool was soft. Li Ge, this weakling, used a 6-pound dumbbell. It didn't cause any serious injury, but when he moved his pinky finger, there was obvious pain.
"Fortunately, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Li Xu looked carefully and confirmed that there was no serious injury. He didn't care too much.
Li Ge looked at Li Xu seriously and told Li Xu a very scary case.
"You're not a doctor. How do you know it's fine? What if it's an internal injury? The news reported that someone was in a car accident. It looked fine on the surface, but two days later, that person died. "
Li Xu was speechless. Li Ge, can't you expect better from me?
"It's just that he was hit by a dumbbell less than 3 kilograms. It shouldn't be fatal, right?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry. Quick, let's go to the hospital."
Li Ge insisted on dragging Li Xu to the hospital. Li Xu was helpless. "Wait a minute, let me change my clothes."
Although it was definitely not a big deal, it would be good if it could speed up his recovery.
There was no infirmary in the training base. After all, e-sports players were not as prone to injuries as ordinary athletes. Furthermore, the logistics system of Korean clubs was not as perfect as those of European and American clubs.
However, the club would organize regular checkups to ensure the health of the players.
Originally, Li Ge wanted to drag Li Xu to the hospital to get an X-ray, but Li Xu refused. Li Xu felt that he couldn't afford to lose face if he went to the hospital with a light injury.
Therefore, the two of them went to the nearby community clinic for a checkup. The doctor diagnosed a local soft tissue injury.
To put it more accurately, it was a flesh wound.
The doctor sprayed some spray on Li Xu, prescribed some medicine, and reminded him of some precautions.
As long as Li Xu was not stupid enough to use his left pinky to do push-ups, he would be fine in about a week.

Today, SKT's match was in the evening. Li Xu's hand was injured due to Li Ge's wise maneuver. Of course, he could not participate in the match. He could only sit in the audience and cheer for his teammates.
Not only today, but he was also given a week's leave by Coach Kim Jung-hoon. He did not know if he would be able to participate in the next match. He was also forbidden from going near the gym for a week.
Because of Li Ge's Guapi maneuver, Li Xu unexpectedly received a week's leave.
Should Li Xu thank Li Ge? Or should he blame Li Ge?
