Chapter 61: Trial KT

Lin Cheng's application for suspension of study specifically stated that the purpose of his suspension was to play professionally, and Seoul National University did not embarrass him at this stall, and quickly agreed to his application, but the visa problem during the suspension period needs to be solved by Lin Cheng himself, or let the club come forward at that time.

Lin Cheng immediately replied to Kang Dongxun by email, indicating his attitude.

Since there is a game in KT tomorrow, the two sides have made an appointment for the trial the day after tomorrow.

On February 24, Lin Cheng put on a mask and went out after eating at noon.

Yongsan-gu, KT Club base.

Lin Cheng honestly took his temperature at the entrance and explained his intention, and soon Kang Dongxun appeared at the gate of the base in person.

Kang Dongxun's attitude was even more enthusiastic than Lin Cheng expected, and it seemed that he was really disappointed in his two top laners.

Despite their first win of the season yesterday, KT still didn't perform well on the road.

The two chatted briefly for a few words, and Kang Dongxun took Lin Cheng into the base.

As one of the oldest clubs in the LCK at present, although it is not as good as T1, which built a new building in Gangnam-gu, KT's new base construction is relatively complete.

The main building of the training base is a three-story building, and the surrounding area is almost surrounded by green space except for the parking lot, and the greenery is very good.

The glass door at the entrance of the base building is a fingerprint lock, Kang Dongxun pressed his fingerprints while quipped to Lin Cheng: "I hope your fingerprints will be recorded in a while, don't pull your crotch during the trial, I have prepared a contract with the team manager for you." โ€

Lin Cheng smiled, "Don't worry, if you eliminate me, I'll go to Hanwha." โ€

Kang Dongxun: "ยทยทยทยทยท"

This coach experienced Lin Cheng's snakeskin for the first time.

The training room of the base is on the second floor, and when the two of them went up, the KT team members were honestly staying in the tactics room to listen to the team analysts review the game.

Kang Dongxun clapped his palms to attract everyone's attention, "The contestant who is going to try out today has arrived, so let's introduce myself." โ€

Lin Cheng nodded, "My name is Lin Cheng, well~~~ Although I am Chinese, I think there should be no communication problems with everyone." โ€

The players at the scene were a little surprised, although they had heard that there was a passerby player who came to try out today, but they didn't know it was a Chinese player.

They don't have an opinion about Lin Cheng, in fact, there are not many times everyone meets in RANK, and some people still have Lin Cheng's friend position, but they don't know that the guy with the ID Cheng is Chinese.

To be precise, there is no precedent for the LCK to bring in foreign aid, which is why they were surprised.

Whether it is Europe, the United States or China, the salary level is higher than that of LCK.

In their opinion: If you are a Chinese who have the strength to play professionally, why do you not go to LPL to get a high salary and come to grab a job with us?

Many people think that according to the self-esteem of the Koreans, they will not bring in foreign aid at all, let alone the Chinese.

But that's not the problem.

SKT clubs have long had a precedent for Chinese foreign aid.

Of course, it's not that Li Xu.

Rather, it's on StarCraft, the more dominant project of the Koreans.

The fundamental reason why there is no foreign aid in the LCK is because Korean League of Legends developed very early, and Korean players are more cost-effective under the emergence of a large number of excellent players.

At the same level, the wages of local players are low, and there is no communication problem, so a fool will buy foreign aid in this case.

On the contrary, because the salaries offered by Korean clubs are not as good as those in other regions, there are constantly cases of Korean players being poached from the LCK.

Speaking of which, South Korea's second-tier league CK had a precedent of bringing in foreign players last year, and BBQ ambitiously brought in American coach and Swedish foreign player Malice after relegation.

As a result, the Swedish brother was not angry, played poorly in the BBQ, and was kicked out directly after a season.

Facts have once again proved that unless it is a really good player, it is difficult for a foreign player who does not understand the language to play in the team.

In Kang Dongxun's view, Lin Cheng has both strong laning strength and no language barrier.

There is another point: in the prior communication, Lin Cheng's salary requirements were so low that he was surprised.

Unlike ordinary professional players who make a living by playing professionally, Lin Cheng found a way to realize his dream under the epidemic, and he didn't think about how much money he made by playing professionally.

Kang Dongxun left time for the team members to communicate with each other, and the first person to greet Lin Cheng was actually the competitor Ray.

"Hello, I'm EDG's top list Ray full volunteer."

Ray's words were said in Chinese, and I don't know if he was deliberately funny or habitually hooked up with EDG, Lin Cheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Ray is 23 years old this year, and he can't even compete with SoHwan, another senior top laner in the team, and he knows that there is a high probability that he will have to change teams next season, and it makes no difference to have another top laner.

So he didn't show any resistance to Lin Cheng, and it doesn't seem bad to be a substitute and get a salary without playing?

Another person who understood this sentence was Kuro, who was the second to say in Chinese: "Hello, I'm BLG's midlaner Kuro Li Shiheng. โ€

Lin Cheng was happy, and the jokes of the two teammates were a positive sign.

The others didn't know what they were talking about in Chinese, but they all briefly introduced themselves one by one.

Kang Dongxun is very satisfied with the attitude of the players, all the players here have only joined KT this year, and they have not formed any ideas about the outside world, and the overall atmosphere in the team is very good.

Soon, the trial training specially prepared for Lin Cheng began.

The content of the trial is actually very simple, which is to play a few team training matches to see how the players play.

Lin Cheng couldn't see anything like the tacit understanding with his teammates when he first came, but the basic skills of the players and their game awareness could be seen.

Due to the lack of personnel in the KT first team to make up two sets of lineups, Kang Dongxun temporarily found two youth players who were not yet old enough to play to come over to make up the numbers.

Lin Cheng was assigned to the main side, with Bono in the jungler, Kuro in the middle lane, Aiming in the bottom lane, and Tusin in the support lane.

Both SoHwan and Ray were placed on the bench side, and Ray even ran to play in the middle.

Everyone was not too surprised, at this point in time, he was pulled by the coach for a trial, and no one thought that Kang Dongxun was just looking for a replacement.

Since it was an intra-team training, BP seemed very casual, and Kang Dongxun directly asked the players to communicate with each other for BP.

The main side is on the blue side, and the substitute is on the red side.

"Lin Cheng, which hero are you best at? You just grab it. โ€

In order to take care of Lin Cheng, the team members gave priority to soliciting Lin Cheng's opinions, and even Aiming Jin Shengdi said: "What do you want to play, let's talk to the other side first, don't let them fall off." โ€

Lin Cheng felt the warmth from his teammates, and smiled casually, "It's okay, just BAN heroes, I'll choose after BAN." โ€

When the first round of BAN between the two sides was complete, Lin Cheng chose to lock the Qinggang Shadow.

This hero can not only play the line, but also cooperate with teammates to support the team, and in Lin Cheng's opinion, he is the best hero to show himself to the coaching staff.

Soon, the lineups of both sides were all determined, and since it was a training match, everyone did not take the strong heroes according to the version of the game.

Lin Cheng's green steel shadow faced SoHwan's signature hero, Sword Demon, on the blue side.
