The match between the class tyrants and the nobodies attracted quite a bit of attention. HLE's opponent, KT's jungler Score, even jokingly tagged Guapi on Twitter.
"Good brother, we've helped you so many times. It's time to repay us, even if it's just once. You've never helped us even once."
His meaning was clear. We've been your power bank for thousands of years, it's time to repay us.
Score's words were not baseless. Every time SKT was in bad shape, KT would come and help them recharge. After recharging, SKT would immediately become invincible. However, in the past few years, SKT had really backstabbed KT countless times.
Every time SKT killed them head-on, they would become background characters, and SKT would always' dig holes' for KT.
The most typical example was S7's summer finals. At that time, it was very easy to get a spot in the international competition. As long as SKT won the championship, KT would be able to enter the international competition as the second seed.
Therefore, KT was very enthusiastic and actively helped SKT with their training. They played training matches with SKT every day.
However, the result was a little sad. In the finals, SKT was defeated by KZ 3: 1. KT was sent to the bubble match to play with Samsung's SSG.
After that, everyone knew the result. KT, the gatekeeper, was happily sent away by SSG.
One must know that KT's record against SSG was absolutely superior. In total, they had a record of 19 wins and 6 losses.
However, six of their losses were in the bubble match. For two consecutive years, KT was swept out of the bubble match by SSG.
One must admit that this was a sad story. KT was always arranged by SKT, and the bubble match was arranged by Samsung. No wonder KT was the saddest team in LCK.
The old captain's sad news immediately caused countless KT fans and other netizens to complain.
"KT fans: We've helped SKT so many times, but SKT hasn't helped us even once. It's too real."
"Sigh! KT has helped SKT block their opponents time and time again. SKT has defeated KT time and time again, and then helped KT's opponents. "
"Score is really sad. Do you think it's easy to be second place forever?"
"Since Ryu, how many times have we been the background of SKT? SKT has hurt us again and again. "
"The more I think about it, the angrier I get. It'll be too bad if SKT loses this time."
"I've been a fan of KT for ten years, and I'm saying that SKT is specifically targeting us."
"I don't believe that SKT will screw over KT this time. There's no reason why they can't beat HLE."
… ….
For a time, the fans on the Internet quickly discussed it.
Koreans valued experience very much. Even a veteran team like JAG had a lot of fans, not to mention a veteran team like KT.
KT's fans were reminded of their sad memories. They sighed and left comments on SKT's social media accounts like crazy.
"I beg you guys to put in more effort. We've been playing hard for an entire season. Please don't pull us down at this time."
"Olympic spirit: fair competition, understand?"
"Teddy, if you guys win, I'll give all of your Instagram likes."
They did not really think that SKT would lose to Hanwha, but SKT had already booked their place in the finals. It was hard to say how much fighting spirit they had left.
At the end of the season, there were two types of teams that were not to be trifled with. One was to fight for the championship, and the other was to avoid relegation. They probably did not know how strong they were when they went crazy.
Li Ge did not respond to the news on the Internet. Although he had opened Twitter, he had not posted a single message for months. Other than secretly peeking at Zhao Enjing's social media account, Guapi had completely forgotten that he had such a thing.
SKT's Twitter guru, Haru, immediately said that his teammates would do their best and would not go easy on them in a fair competition.
Li Xu replied to Score on his own Twitter: "After all, the Water Demon is not the Sea King. We'll kill the Sea King. Don't worry, we won't lose."
Score: "Good brother, we're counting on you."
"Our old captain is about to retire, but he's still worried so much about KT. I'm crying."
"This' brother 'is so sad, but why do I feel like laughing?"
"Haha! Score is quite entertaining. Since you're my brother, you should put in more effort in the competition. "
"Li Xu:" Just because you called me brother, I'll arrange everything for HLE. "
"It's not easy for our old captain. He's preparing to serve in the military next year. If KT gets relegated this year, it'll be very sad."
… ….
On the 10th of August, SKT was about to welcome their match against HLE.
They boarded the bus from the base and prepared to depart. The assistant was already waiting for them on the bus.
The results of the previous live broadcast on YouTube were amazing, and it attracted a lot of attention to SKT's official account. This time, the club had a taste of the benefits. Every time, they would arrange for someone to accompany the entire team to record SKT's matches and upload them to their official social media account.
Other than the previous live broadcast, all the subsequent matches were recorded as Vlogs and uploaded to SKT's official account.
However, other than SKT's fans, there were also a large number of fans of other teams who followed SKT's official account. Most of the comments were to see how SKT's members would look after losing the match.
Li Xu took the initiative to sit beside the assistant. "Hey! That's angry. "
"Hmm?"
"What's your name?"
"… …"
Li Xu felt that the bus had suddenly become quiet. He saw that the assistant and Guapi from the barbeque stall were looking at him speechlessly. Li Xu was puzzled.
"Is there something wrong with my question?"
The assistant purposely put on a straight face. "You don't remember my name? No wonder you can only call me Angry. I was happy at first, but in the end, it's because you don't remember my name. "
"Haha! How could that be? Of course I remember your name. It's just that Angry sounds more intimate. "
"Oh? Then tell me my name? "
"Haha! I have news. I'll tell you later. "
Li Xu pretended to play with his phone. He opened Kakao and sent a message to Guapi from the barbeque stall.
Li Xu: Who knows what Angry is called? Tell me quickly. This is so awkward.
Clid: Someone doesn't even know her name and is calling her Angry. (Pouting)
Teddy: Yoho! You really don't know? Didn't you introduce her the first time you met her? Don't tell me you don't even know her surname?
Li Xu: What's her surname?
Mata: Didn't you notice how we address each other? We all call her Assistant Cui.
Li Xu: Oh, Cui. What's her name?
Li Ge: Haha, what are you trying to do? You have a girlfriend.
Teddy: Haha.
Clid: Haha.
Mata: Haha.
Haru: Haha.
Li Xu: Am I that kind of person? Look at Angry, isn't she pretty? I see that you single dogs are so pitiful and want to introduce a girlfriend to you. I just don't know if she's single.
Haru: Yes! She's single! Choi Jung-yeon. Her name is Choi Jung-yeon. Introduce her to me.
Teddy: Li Xu, I'm your best friend. I really like Assistant Cui, but I'm too embarrassed to talk to her.
Clid: You asked me if Assistant Cui thinks I'm cute. Many fans say that I'm very cute.
Mata: What are you doing? Where's your integrity? It hurts my eyes.
Li Ge: Haha! A bunch of bootlickers.
