Li Xu was confused. What's going on? Do I know First Senior Brother? But I know him, but he shouldn't know me!
It was the wee hours of the morning in America. First Senior Brother didn't sleep and came over to draw all the attention to Li Xu.
What's going on?
Doublelift: "The cost of spreading rumors is the lowest. Keyboard warriors, what else do you have to say? Let me hear it. "
A grumpy old man retorted, "Chinese players are trash. You're a trash player who can only show off in low-level leagues. You'll never make it out of the group stage. I hope you don't make it to the World Championship this year either."
Doublelift's biggest regret was that he had never made it out of the group stage in the World Championship.
Ever since his debut in the S1 season, the Big Senior Brother was probably the only S1 professional player who still maintained a top-notch level. His team appeared in the international tournament almost every year as the number one seed in North America.
However, it was as if he was cursed. First Senior Brother would fall in the group stage every year.
Many people suspected that it was because the North American team was too weak that Doublelift was able to enter the World Championship as the number one seed every year.
However, in reality, Team C9, who was also in the North American team, made it out of the group stage almost every year. S8 even made it into the semifinals.
C9 was beaten by First Senior Brother's team in North America almost every year. It could only be said that First Senior Brother was a bit unlucky.
Doublelift: "I'm sorry, but I've already booked this year's LCS champion. You're not convinced? If you have the guts, come and hack me! "
Thus, Li Jiu watched as his Eldest Senior Brother and the keyboard warriors went back and forth, having a great time criticizing each other, completely ignoring him, the person involved.
Li Xu sent a private message to First Senior Brother to thank him for his support. However, there was no reply for a long time. He didn't know if First Senior Brother didn't see it or he was too busy fighting with the keyboard warriors.
Thus, Li Xu quietly opened the game. He felt like something was wrong.
Although this incident started off strong and ended poorly, it didn't have no effect. Jin Zhengxun told Li Xu that he would be sitting on the bench for the Kespa Cup tomorrow.
December 27th, afternoon.
With less than an hour to go before the start of the competition, Lolpark was already bustling with activity.
This round of the competition was the battle for the top four spots in the Kespa Cup. SKT's first championship trophy of the new season was getting closer and closer, and the fans could no longer hold back their enthusiasm.
After experiencing last season's failure to win all four trophies, the fans were eager to win every single championship. Ever since SKT had been established until Season S7, they had won at least one trophy in every season. There had never been a season where they were empty-handed.
SKT was already used to the glory and glory. It was only after experiencing the despair of S8 that the fans realized that even if it was just a Kespa Cup champion, they had been waiting for a long time.
This was a trophy that had always been regarded as the least valuable trophy, but they actually yearned for it so much. They had pinned their hopes on this new Galactic Battleship, and the Kespa Cup would be the first step in their journey.
This year, Team DWG was directly promoted to the LCK Pro League by winning first place in the regular season of the secondary league. They were a new team in the LCK Pro League this season, and this was also the first time SKT faced an LCK team in an official competition this season.
The live host for today's competition was Park Jihwan's partner, another LCK female host, Kim Ji-hyun. Ze Yuan and Sook Yi were the commentators in the Douyu live broadcast room in China.
Park Jihwan: "Today's competition can be considered a preview of the LCK Pro League. These two teams will have at least two BO3 matches in the two rounds of S9's spring competition. Of course, if both teams enter the playoffs, it will be more than just two matches."
Kim Ji-hyun: "After a year, SKT is once again challenging for the championship trophy. Can SKT, who experienced a low point last season, start afresh? Before the competition, Team FAKER expressed their desire to be the champion of the Kespa Cup, but now, they have to at least get past DWG. "
Park Jihwan: "The entire SKT team has to be on their best behavior. Although DWG is a new team in the LCK Pro League, they won ten consecutive matches in the secondary league and were promoted as the champions of the secondary league. Remember, the last team to win the secondary league with such a terrifying record was Griffin GRF."
The focus of the Chinese live broadcast room was, of course, different from that of the Korean live broadcast room.
Ze Yuan: "Today, SKT versus DWG. On paper, SKT is obviously the stronger team. SKT should be able to win, but it depends on whether the score is 2: 0 or 2: 1."
Sook Yi: "I wonder if Li Xu will be able to play in the starting lineup today? Yesterday, I heard that some Korean netizens posted some comments against Li Xu. Even the Big Senior in North America was alerted. "
Ze Yuan: "Yes, the Big Senior has traveled thousands of miles to support his younger brother. Plus, everyone knows how good he is when facing trolls."
Ze Yuan: "Now, many SKT fans have acknowledged Li Xu's performance, but there are still some extreme fans who keep attacking Li Xu. There's no other reason for them to target Li Xu. It's because he's the only Chinese player in LCK. One day, when LCK becomes like LPL, with countless foreign players, maybe they'll recognize reality."
At this time, the players entered the arena. The first player from SKT to walk out was the top laner, KHAN.
The SKT fan section in the stadium erupted in cheers. The extreme fans who targeted Li Xu screamed wildly, waving the electronic boards in their hands as if they had won the battle.
Looking at the big brother who was waving his fists in celebration, Li Xu, who was walking at the back, rolled his eyes and mumbled softly,
"Do you guys have to go this far? We haven't won the match yet! Also, please respect your opponent next time. You typed my name wrong on the electronic board. Even if you want me to leave, you should at least write the correct name. "
MATA, who was walking at the front, was surprised. This little brother's focus was not quite right.
Li Xu was the last to walk out. The cheers were mixed with boos, as if to say, "Look, no matter how good your performance is, you can only be a substitute in SKT."
Li Xu did not mind. He bowed perfunctorily and sat on the bench.
Shu Yi: "Looks like yesterday's incident still affected Li Xu. In the previous Kespa Cup, Li Xu was the first to play."
Ze Yuan: "Maybe SKT has its own internal considerations. Plus, KHAN's performance in the ranking matches has been pretty good. Let's see if Li Xu can play in the second match."
"The Koreans are arrogant. Who's the best player in the team right now?"
"The best player in the two matches is sitting on the bench. It'll be a joke if SKT loses."
"Why are they so against Li Xu? There are so many Koreans in LPL. No one is scolding him. "
"Even if the Korean helper is saved, there will still be people scolding him. However, not many of them understand Chinese. Even if you scold him, he won't understand. They'll think you're cheering him on."
"This is different from LPL. LCK only has one helper, Li Xu. Everyone is watching him! There's also a Swedish guy from BBQ who is being scolded in the secondary league. That guy has it worse. No one is speaking up for him. Li Xu still has a lot of supporters. "
