Just as the members of the three LPL clubs boarded the airport shuttle bus, a plane from Seoul, South Korea landed on another tarmac not far away. The bridge was lowered, and the passengers in the cabin walked out of the open cabin door one by one.
Similar to the LPL, the three participating teams of the Korean LCK had booked the same flight. Accompanying them were the coaches and leaders of the three clubs, as well as the staff of the Korea Telecommunications Association.
Among them, the two men who walked down the bridge in the lead seemed to attract everyone's attention.
One was tall and slender, with simple short hair, a black trench coat, and an indifferent and calm aura. The other was of medium build and ordinary appearance. He wore a pair of square black-rimmed glasses, and his aura was more reserved and calm. Compared to the former's companion, he seemed even more inconspicuous.
But no one would overlook the latter.
Because in reality, only when the former stood next to the bespectacled man would his brilliance be overshadowed.
In fact, even in the previous era, when the gods were gathered and the stars shone, this seemingly ordinary bespectacled man with a gentle aura was enough to be in the top five.
It was just that he was used to being reserved and didn't want to compete with others in pointless situations.
Of course.
It was also because of this companion beside him that the light was even more dazzling.
Even the members of the three LCK Korean teams who followed behind the two of them from the cockpit kept a certain distance from them as a sign of respect. They looked at the two people in front of them, especially the skinny man, their gazes were filled with absolute fanaticism and worship.
If F- Han Shiho, the world's publicly recognized leader of the Four Emperors and the undisputed number one player in Korea, was already the idol and role model of countless young Korean professional esports players, then the skinny man who was the first to walk down the covered bridge —
He was an unshakable legend and myth in the hearts of the entire Korean esports circle.
It was him who single-handedly brought up the world's number one mid, Han Shihao.
It was also him who had personally built up the Korean esports empire in the previous era.
This was an existence that even the Seven Kings and Four Emperors of the Korean LCK were willing to call a "senior". He was also the pillar of the Korean esports' pride in the world's professional esports circle.
The first generation F.
Li Daozai.
The bespectacled man who could walk side by side with Lee Dao-jae naturally had no other possibility. He was another legend from Korea's previous generation — M.
This was the first time in the six seasons of League of Legends, apart from the distant S1 season, that the entire Korean esports circle had mobilized so many people for a World Finals.
Two of their top Legends from the previous generation were personally leading the expedition!
On top of that, there were the three strongest teams in the LCK region.
Such a luxurious lineup.
Such momentum and battle array.
Even though the S6 finals had yet to begin, almost all of the Korean professional players could already see the scene of them standing on the stage of the finals and raising the Summoner's Championship trophy.
He was not overly proud or boastful.
Other than the LCK.
Looking at the world.
Who else could it be?
…
Li Daozai didn't notice the fanatical looks of admiration from his juniors in the LCK division. He walked down the covered bridge and chatted with his teammate.
"Have you contacted Bullet in North America?"
"Yeah, I talked to him on the phone while I was still on the plane."
"How was it? His attitude?"
"Not much, he didn't give me a clear answer."
Li Daozai's brows furrowed when he heard M shaking his head. His face revealed a look of displeasure.
"What does he mean?"
"Your relationship with him … You can't even get through to him on this kind of thing?"
His tone revealed a hint of criticism towards his teammate.
M, who was familiar with his old friend's personality, didn't mind. He just shook his head and said, "You know his temper. Even if I have a bit of a friendship with him, it's not to the extent that he would agree to stand on our side."
M paused, reached out to adjust the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said gently:
"Besides, I'm not the only one who has a good relationship with him."
"As far as I know — over the past few years, 003 has been in close contact with him."
As if mentioning some unpleasant words, Li Daozai's brows furrowed even tighter, and the coldness in his eyes deepened:
"But at least, isn't he always the most dissatisfied with 'that guy'?"
"This time, he's not on our side, does he want to stand with 'that guy'?"
Whenever his biggest enemy in the last generation was mentioned, his mood would become uncontrollably bad. More importantly, everything was already in his calculations. Now that such an unexpected variable had suddenly appeared, he couldn't help but be annoyed.
Yes, based on his original understanding of Bullet from North America, no matter how arrogant and eccentric Bullet was, they should have the same attitude towards "that guy".
Before this, he had already contacted the few old guys in Europe, and the leading crow had happily agreed to his arrangement. At that time, the two seats of the European Honorary Advisor Conference would be on the same side as the two seats of the Korean Empire.
As for the remaining North American seat, he deliberately asked his old friend M to take the initiative to contact Bullet. He thought that with M's friendship with Bullet from North America, this matter could be easily finalized …
But now, why did this kind of accident happen?
M shook his head again:
"I don't think it's possible to stand on the other side."
"I think Bullet's intention is to remain neutral in this meeting. It's the same position they've always taken in the past."
Then, the legendary Korean existence who stood side by side with Lee Daozai in the last generation seemed to have encountered some doubts. He frowned slightly:
"But this time … there seems to be something we don't understand."
"Bullet's attitude is slightly different than before."
Only with M's meticulousness and meticulousness would he pay attention to such details that were easily overlooked. But in contrast, Li Daozai waved his hand impatiently and said coldly, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu.
"There's nothing to investigate."
"If he doesn't want to stand on our side directly, then forget it. His neutral attitude is acceptable."
"The seven-member honorary advisory group … Two of us, plus the two from Europe, the four seats are enough for us to speak."
M nodded, then reached out to adjust the frame of his glasses and sighed softly:
"Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble —"
Lee Daozai sneered at his old friend's sigh:
"It's not necessary."
"But as long as it makes that guy unhappy …"
"I'm interested in doing it."
