When Faker left the base again and came to the barbecue restaurant at night, Bang was already moving his chopsticks, along with Wolf, whose tonnage had not changed over the years.

In the past two years, the people who are currently most closely connected with faker are probably those old teammates of S5, among which wolf is a contracted anchor at SKT and is available at any time, marin has recently traveled abroad and can't see anyone, and bengi is in military service, so there are only bang, wolf and faker who meet here at this time.

After taking a seat, they exchanged two pleasantries, first chatting about Marin's recent situation, and then mentioning the end time of Bengi's military service, and finally Wolf suddenly said: "By the way, Sanghyuk, there was a newcomer in the base before, you know?" ”

"You're talking about Clozer, it's my replacement, Coach Kim introduced me." Faker said calmly.

"Get you a replacement? Just like it used to be easyhoon? Bang said in surprise, slightly unhappy in his heart.

In his opinion, anyone can have a substitute for SKT, but faker can't, not only because faker itself is still horizontally online, the point is that faker is the soul of SKT, if even faker is not on, then there is really no connection between SKT and T1.

"Almost." faker nodded, though he didn't really want to talk more on the subject, and instead asked, "What about you, how are you playing in LCS?" Do you have a chance to qualify for Worlds this year? ”

"I think...... It's a bit hard. Bang sighed.

In the LCS Spring Tournament, except for the unbeatable C9, the scores of the other 2~8 teams are either 10/8 or 8/10, and the level is very close, like bang's EG team happens to be a member of this group of miscellaneous fish team.

Immediately after the playoffs, EG was taken away by C9 and FLY respectively, so that bang, as a star player, also suffered a lot of public pressure.

"If you can't mess around over there, you'll come back." Seeing Bang's expression, Wolf smiled on the side, "Although Coach Kim didn't say it, I think Teddy needs a substitute more than Sang-hyuk." ”

Of course, he just said this casually, mainly to complain that Teddy was playing too much, but after listening to his proposal, Bang actually thought seriously: "Come back, it seems to be good...... It just so happens that it's still the transfer period. ”

"Do you really have that idea?" faker and wolf looked at him in surprise - this kid doesn't want to live a comfortable life in North America, wants to run back to T1 to suffer, and the old age has broken his head?

"Yes." Bang understood their thoughts, and immediately sighed, "You don't really think that you can live comfortably in North America, do you......?"

When bang decided to go to LCS, he naturally regarded LCS as a money-making mecca, and always felt that the boss there was stupid and had a lot of money, and the level of the competition area was low.

However, after he went, he realized that life here was not as perfect as he had imagined.

After all, the owner of the club is not a fool, they buy obvious players to come over in the hope of playing results, once they can't get results, even if they don't deduct money, they will definitely not give you any good looks, plus the existence of online public opinion, once it is really mixed, every day just the white eyes suffered online and offline, are a huge damage to self-esteem.

And it's also extremely difficult to stay in shape, because the training environment in North America is more relaxed, there are fewer competitions, the coaches are not strict, and the players have a lot of entertainment, which makes Bang need a lot of self-discipline to stay in shape, but Bang can't do that.

Of course, if he can be self-disciplined, he will not choose to go to LCS to make money, and it is not good to stay in SKT to impact the next championship?

In addition, the level of teammates and opponents is generally lower than that of the LCK division, and there is a lack of pressure, which leads to bang like a king who goes to the low level of fried fish, and can still carry the game at first, but once he plays too much and gets used to the style of the LCS, he will gradually integrate into the segment and become no different from others.

Thinking back on his dismal experience in the LCS in the past two years, bang poured bitter water on wolf and faker for a while, and the summary was "This pension money is too poor, I don't earn it, I want to go back to SKT to make results, and become a master", while faker and wolf looked at each other for a while.

They have always thought that Bang's days in North America are very comfortable, after all, there is an example of Huni, how it will not be too bad, who knows that listening to Bang's tone, it seems that going to North America to retire is not so happy......

So why can Huni be so happy, every time she loses a game, she smiles brighter than she wins......

Is it because of optimism by nature?

However, since bang said so, faker and wolf naturally did not object, and immediately celebrated with him warmly - as bang's SKT veteran, if they want to return to T1 in the transfer period before the start of the summer season, the management will naturally welcome it with both hands, and will actively communicate with EG.

Although T1's slump in MSC cannot be solved by changing AD, in addition to the strokes of the bottom lane combination, the state pull of the jungler cuzz is the most important, but at least for faker, his teammate has changed from teddy to bang, which will indeed make him feel more at ease - except for the "push stick" in the S7 Finals.

……

In mid-June, the transfer period ended, and the LCK's summer tournament officially began.

When the LPL, DME and TES were crowned No. 1 and No. 2 in the world by major media around the world, in mid-July, T1 fans also ushered in a surprising news, that is, the return of bang.

But that's not big news these days.

On the one hand, bang doesn't mix well on the LCS side, even if he returns to T1, at most he will only rotate with teddy, and unlike bengi, he can trigger a special bond with faker.

On the other hand, because T1 is not the scary SKT of the past, the summer game has stumbled, and there is no dominance and attention that it used to have.

The problems that do exist in those teams cannot be solved by changing AD.

"Our team is in terrible shape right now." At the end of July, after finishing the match with HLE (S5's koo-tiger, S6's rox-tiger, renamed HLE after being acquired), he came to the game review session, looking at the players in front of him, Coach Kim Kyung-so frowned and sighed.

They had just beaten HLE 2-1, which seemed nothing to be frustrating, but HLE was not only not a strong team in the LCK, but was even competing with SP for the bottom spot.

In the face of such a team in the bottom two, but also lost a small game, and won well, which can only show that T1 is in very poor form now.

And his BP is definitely fine, so the problem can only be with the player.

In the next game against KT, in today's state, I will definitely not win, and I must think of a way.

Thinking of this, Kim Jingzhu glanced at Bang and Clozer who were watching from the side, and his eyes quickly locked on - Bang was still grinding with the team during this time, and he didn't think about playing for the time being, and Clozer, this kid, he was quite optimistic, and he felt that he had a lot of potential, so he could give it a try.

Moreover, he himself does not like faker, mainly because faker's qualifications are too old and his status is too high, not only the soul of the team, but also the team bully, such a player will have a great impact on the team's decision-making, and it will also affect the coach's control of the team.

For example, when choosing a hero, faker insisted that it was better to choose a demon queen, but he hoped that faker could choose Galio with rhythm as a tool, once this conflict happened, who should he listen to?

So replacing it with a clozer who is more well-behaved, obedient and has more potential is obviously a wiser move.
