Chapter 68: 10,000 Years Background Board KT

At half past three in the afternoon, Lin Cheng followed his teammates to get on the team bus and set off and went straight to the competition venue.

Jongno-gu, Seoul.

Due to the epidemic, the flow of people in the busy Jongno District in the past is much smaller, although many young and beautiful boys are the first iron, the uncles and aunts are very responsive to the government's call and reduce unnecessary travel.

After getting off the bus, Lin Cheng followed his teammates out of the parking lot and hurried to the next Grand Seoul Building, which is a large comprehensive shopping mall, and LOL PARK is located on the third floor of the building.

Lin Cheng only had time to look up and glance at the angular building, and then followed the team members to the entrance.

LOL PARK is a professional League of Legends arena that Riot began investing in in 2017 and opened as an LCK tournament venue last season.

There are professional Riot Internet cafes, Riot Mess Gallery, Coffee Lounge, and some shops selling food, game merchandise and clan merchandise.

Usually, the ticket price for LOL PARK is 9,000 won, which is about 55 yuan per person.

Of course, it is impossible to buy tickets now, but the store that sells related peripheral products is still open, and Lin Cheng saw the Faker figure displayed in the shop window at a glance.

Now is not the time to linger outside, the whole KT team wore masks and hurried through the corridor on the wall printed with posters of the players, and went straight to the direction of the lounge.

Lin Cheng couldn't help but glance at the posters printed on the walls of the corridor one by one.

This is the Legend Hall of the LCK, and the corridor is divided into many sections, and every few meters there is a huge poster of an LCK Legend player.

It has long been retired and has become one of the most professional commentators in South Korea.

Shy of four PDDs in one shot.

Madlife, the god of support.

The only unyielding fighter who succeeded in avenging Brother Lee, Ambition.

SKT's pinnacle five of Faker, Marin, Bengi, Bang, Wolf.

There are also Deft, Kuro, Peanut, Score, Mata, Pray, Smeb.

There are sixteen players in total, all of whom are players who have played dominantly in the LCK at their peak.

There are quite a few players who have played for KT, such as retired Mata, Smeb and veteran captain Score, as well as Mr. Dai, who is still fighting at DRX.

And, of course, there's the current KT midlaner Kuro.

Although this year's Kuro was average at KT, Kuro was still strong during the ROX Tigers period.

At that time, the phrase 'Kuro is king where Faker is not there' was both a helplessness and an affirmation of Kuro.

The walls behind the sixteen players were blank, waiting for the new dominant players to carve their posters.

Seeing Lin Cheng staring at a blank wall behind Smeb's poster, Kuro couldn't help but pull him.

"Let's go, let's go to the lounge first."

Lin Cheng suddenly pointed to the blank wall, "Hey! You say, how about my poster hanging here after the end of the year? ”

Kuro's eyes widened with a hellish expression.

This wall is not just a name that can be engraved if you win the LCK championship.

He left his name here with the ROX Tigers team in the S6 Summer LCK with an almost crazy performance, so ROX Tigers' support Gorilla couldn't leave his name on it.

Lin Cheng, a newcomer who has never been on the scene, is on the list, why do you say this?

The point is, KT is still at the bottom, so it's a bit outrageous to look forward to the championship, right?

"Hmm~~~ Come on, I'm optimistic about you."

Kuro didn't say anything about Lin Cheng's blind confidence, and turned around and walked into the lounge with a few words of encouragement.

The teammate obviously had a perfunctory attitude, and Lin Cheng didn't mind, shrugged his shoulders and followed up with his bag in the lounge.

The lounge is spacious, with tables and chairs and sofas for the players to rest, a shelf in the corner for snacks for the players to pick up, and a screen hanging on the wall to broadcast the live footage of the inside of the venue.

"Okay, let's rest for a while and wait for the game to start."

It was still early before the start of the game, and the on-site staff on the screen were still setting up broadcast equipment, Lin Cheng was not interested after looking at it twice, and took out his mobile phone to browse the forum of the Korean Net.

Today's forum is lively.

"Oh roar! It's the day of beating up good friends again, and the T1 team members say to play KT and relax. ”

"Carrying on the glorious tradition of SKT, starting with beating KT."

"I wonder if Cheng will be on today? I just want to see the quality of this Chinese list. ”

"Although there is a high probability of losing if you can't get up, let's see how well it performs."

"Wouldn't it? Do you really believe that newcomers are on the list? ”

"KT's group of bun fans really regard that Chinese top single as a savior? Laughing to death. ”

"Last year, KT management also played half to find a retired AD to come back to fight the fire, and the level of people was laughing to death."

······

In the LCK's official pre-match support statistics, the support rate of the two sides who played in the first game today reached a terrifying 9:1.

Of course, SKT is 9 and KT is 1.

This statistic is not only the Korean audience, but also the votes of overseas audiences, and SKT's overseas fans naturally crush KT.

You know, KT has been a team for so many years, even if it has always been competitive in the LCK, the last time it made an impression at the World Championship was in S8, but that year KT also became the background board for IG to win the championship.

Two years further on, KT will be even worse.

S6 worked hard to qualify for a bubble race, but as a result, they bumped into Samsung, the king of bubble races, and unfortunately failed to qualify.

When the S7 theory did not qualify, KT was stabbed several times by SKT, and finally ran to play the bubble game and met Samsung, only to be swept out by the bubble game God of War again.

Speaking of KT, it's really miserable, the news agency war has to be sanctioned by SKT, and the bubble race always runs into a Samsung that is open, and finally forms a galaxy battleship, and as a result, it meets KZ, which is in full swing in South Korea.

Finally, when the S8 Summer Tournament KZ became fished, KT won the league championship and went to the World Championship, but this time it became the background board of IG again.

In addition, KT Yue Lun was robbed by the newly debuted Faker when he was at his peak, and his scalp was numb, and he was chased by SKT more than once...

After all the total, the label of the 'background board' on KT's body is simply more nailed than the nails on the coffin board.

In this case, KT's overseas fan base is naturally far from that of the triple crown champion SKT, and it is normal for such a disparity in support rating.

"Sure enough, KT has never been the favored side."

Lin Cheng couldn't help muttering, originally KT turned into a power bank every time he paired with SKT, and this season was still at the bottom of the league, and it was normal for others not to be optimistic about KT.

Lin Cheng thought to himself: If you count the domestic statistics, it will definitely be more amazing, right?

However, what Lin Cheng didn't know was.

This time, in Huya's pre-game statistics, KT's support rate was higher than SKT's.

The reason for this is Lin Cheng.

The first Chinese foreign aid in the LCK, many LPL viewers are curious about Lin Cheng's performance.

In addition to the fans of the big demon king and the fans left over from SKT, many neutral viewers voted for KT, so Lin Cheng is still half of his own.

Because Lin Cheng casually said 'I'm already warming up' in Aiming's live broadcast room the night before yesterday, this sentence was spread by netizens, making many viewers in China think that Lin Cheng would be today's KT first list.

Therefore, in Huya's LCK official live broadcast room, countless viewers were waiting for the excitement early.

Most people have only heard Lin Cheng's name and ID, and they haven't even glanced at his video, and they are still very curious about Lin Cheng's strength.

It's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk.
