"Tell me who it is."
"Tell me."
"You're only telling me half the story."
Li Jiu kept asking, but Bang either kept his mouth shut or kept rambling. In any case, he refused to say anything.
Li Xu wanted to encourage Li Ge to ask, but Li Ge knew it was not Zhao Enjing and was not interested.
Throughout the meal, Li Xu didn't eat anything at all. He kept thinking about who Bang's girlfriend was. When he thought about Bang's bashful face, Li Xu felt strange.
Hmmm … … As a friend, I have the obligation to care about my friend's personal problems.
After thinking for a while, Li Xu called Kim Ji-hyun.
When the call was connected, Kim Zhixian's voice was slightly playful. "Busy person, why did you think of calling me?"
Li Jiu was stunned. Why did Jin Zhixian's words sound so strange?
"Miss Zhi Hyun, how are you recently?"
"Not good."
Li Xu did not know how to reply to Kim Ji-hyun's reply.
"Hmmm … … What's not good?"
"I don't know. I just don't feel good when I received your call."
Li Xu was not used to Kim Ji-hyun's tone. Is this the same Kim Ji-hyun who is always smiling?
"I was wrong, okay? How did I offend you? I apologize to Miss Zhi Hyun. "Li Xu quickly begged for mercy.
Kim Zhixian could no longer be serious. A light chuckle came from the other side, and Lee Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Someone and her cat miss you very much."
Li Xu was stunned. Was there a missing sentence at the end? Haha … … I'm lying. I don't have a cat, and you don't have a cat. •
No, we digress.
Li Xu knew Kim Ji-hyun was teasing him again. He pretended not to understand and asked: "Miss Zhi Hyun, do you know Pei Junzhi?"
"Pei Junzhi?" Kim Ji-hyun was stunned.
"That's Bang."
"Oh, I know him. I interviewed him many times last season. Why are you asking this?"
"Are you close to him?"
"Not very close. What do you want to say?"
"Then what about Miss Minna?"
"What do you want to say?"
Li Xu changed the topic: "You don't know anything?"
"I'm not sure. Wait a minute."
After Kim Ji-hyun finished speaking, Li Xu could hear some chatting sounds. Li Xu.
"I asked, but Minna said she doesn't know him."
"Oh … … Say hi to Miss Minna."

The date of the LCK Spring Season finals was approaching. During this period, the atmosphere of the finals was in full swing.
SKT's fans were very confident after winning the first two rounds of the regular season against GRF. In their opinion, SKT's name would be engraved on the championship trophy once again.
The last time they won the championship was two years ago in S7's Spring Season. In the previous Summer Season, SKT was ranked fourth from the bottom. They were only ranked higher than the two relegated teams and Airplane.
After this season's restructuring, SKT had only lost one match. Of course, the fans could not hide their joy. It was as if they could already see the invincible team that had swept through everything before their eyes had returned.
SKT was worthy of their praise. The fans were full of praise for their own team's excellent performance. Before the finals even started, SKT was already the champion of the mid-season competition.
Griffin's fans were not convinced. The fans of SKT were too arrogant and did not treat their own team as a team. Both sides started a war of words online.
It was not only Griffin's fans. SKT's fans' crazy praises had also attracted the disgust of fans of other teams. SKT fans from other countries were also arguing with fans of other teams.
"They're back. SKT is back. How can those bastards Griffin beat SKT?"
"The competition hasn't started yet. What's the point of pretending? As long as Griffin performs as usual, there's still a high chance of winning the championship. "
"Other than the controversial jungler, which lane of SKT doesn't crush Griffin? Using his head to beat him? "
"Which eye of yours saw the crushing? Other than Li Xu's advantage in the top lane, there's no obvious advantage in any other lane. When Tarzan is on the top lane, SKT won't be able to win. "
"Griffin is nothing to be afraid of. Now we can start to study our opponents in MSI."
"There's no need to study. MSI's champion is IG."
"IG's finals haven't started yet. Maybe JDG will go to the mid-season competition."
"You're talking as if SKT's finals have already started. Maybe GRF will be the ones going to the mid-season competition."
"You guys are talking about hammers. G2 has already booked themselves as the MSI champions."

Of course, while the fans were inflated, the members of SKT were not. This was a team with a deep foundation, not a nouveau riche. Li Ge and coach Kim Jong Un had experienced too many glories and losses with SKT. Of course, they knew how to help their team maintain their mentality.
Furthermore, LGD's inflated ego had given many teams a warning.
During the S5 season, which brought glory and shame to LPL, GodV, as a special guest, said something that left a deep impression in everyone's mind. "Whether it's us or EDG, we'll definitely win the mid-season competition."
Sure enough, EDG did not disappoint and brought back the MSI championship trophy. It was as if GodV's words had come true. LPL was the strongest division, and the other divisions were not worth mentioning.
Before the international finals at the end of the season, from the players to the coaches to the fans, it was as if they had already agreed that LPL was going to win the championship.
At that time, in the discussions about the international competition, if there were any comments praising LCK or their opponents from other divisions, they would definitely be criticized.
Before the international competition even started, the first division had already been arranged by the fans.
After LGD, who had high hopes, won the LPL championship, the club and the coach parted on bad terms. TBQ claimed that the champion jungler would take you flying, and IMP said that they did not need to participate in mock competitions. That was how confident they were.
GodV played Heavenly Blade and watched anime all night. He even asked the audience in the live stream if they wanted the champion's skin. What if they met EDG in the finals?
It could be said that LGD was inflated to the extreme that year. It was even more inflated than RNG last year. Players, coaches, fans, and commentators were all inflated.
Not only LGD, but the entire LPL was immersed in the inflated ego.
There were too many things that happened that year.
LPL's top laner Twelve Golden Palaces
Three heroes against Lu Bu in the semifinals, it would definitely be the three strongest LPL players surrounding and suppressing SKT
EDG and LGD in Berlin, it would definitely be a civil war in LPL
Taiwan's AD players were noobs, Sturgeon General was only noobs in LPL, but it would not be a problem for him to beat AHQ
SKT's Summer Finals BO5 ended in an hour because LCK was noobs
Faker's skill level was average, he could not even make it into the top five mid laners.

The most ridiculous thing was that many fans actually took such comments seriously.
LGD's sponsor, Douyu, also held a high-profile event: LGD would draw a prize every time they won, and LGD would get a Mercedes-Benz as a prize if they won.
They did not think that LGD would have an embarrassing result.
