Chapter 9: I will duo queue with Teddy again
Li Jingheng is a fool; there are plenty of excellent top laners in South Korea, yet you insist on finding a Chinese player, even if it's just as a substitute, it won't do
Kim Jong-hoon nodded in satisfaction; regardless of the circumstances outside, the internal environment of SKT is highly united as a whole. This is a team that aspires to be champions
The Illusionist has played the most, with 20 matches and a win rate of 95 percent
However, he is indeed a chatterbox, continuously talking on the voice call, leaving Li Xu's ears still buzzing
Frost Witch, 16 pieces, win rate 89%
I have tried it; Teemo and Yasuo really cannot find happiness together, so I decisively took them all to the mid lane.
South Korea and Japan share similarities in certain aspects, maintaining humility in the face of power, yet at times exhibiting an unusually high level of arrogance and exclusivity
However, the pace of the ranked matches is extremely fast, with kills happening at an astonishing rate, often resulting in dozens of kills in a single game. The losing side is typically left with bodies strewn everywhere, yet Li Xu surprisingly did not die even once in such a disadvantageous situation
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm serious this time, there are no pits that can't be carried." Li Xu clicked accept and entered the game
... ...
Angry extreme fans hacked the official Twitter account of the SKT team, and even the official website of the telecom operator SKT was taken over
Have you never won a single game in the top lane? Why did Yasuo and Teemo go top?
Opportunities are rare, dear host, please continue to bring us joy
Swift Scout, 2 pieces, win rate 0%
Brother, let's have another round; I will definitely excel in this one. Teddy has sent another game invitation.
MATA noticed something was amiss; it is important to understand that ranking is not the same as a match. In a match, the losing side may experience a complete team wipe in the final moments, resulting in a loss despite having only died once.
Rita: "Will this be the beginning of a legend? Looking forward to Li Xu's performance"
Ah, now you understand the severity of the situation
Furious Wind Swordsman, 3 pieces, win rate 0%
A message released by SKT's official Weibo account two hours ago has completely ignited the entire League of Legends community
I am determined to smash your faces and spit on you. Li Xu secretly vowed to make sure these online bullies would not have it easy
Others have expressed their positions, supporting Li Xu
At 1:00 AM, Li Xu ended the broadcast, which was already midnight in the country.
Wandering Mage, 7 pieces, win rate 100%
Ah, you want to kill me, go die, die, die.
Joker: "This season, SKT has made significant moves by bringing in KHAN, Clid, Teddy, and MAT, forming a star-studded lineup alongside FAKER. I believe that the introduction of a relatively unknown Chinese player at this time is certainly meaningful. Now, we are just waiting to see when Li Xu will make his appearance, and we look forward to it."
I have been deceived by your tricks! I decisively refuse
I am going to die, I am going to die, help, quickly help, ah! I am dead
" ? ''
Kim Jong-hoon turned off the screen and looked at the crowd, "What do you all think?"
Brother Xu is back, let us take a look at the captain's ADC
As long as one can rank up, that's all that matters. Let me tell you, in this version, the mid-lane carries can rank up incredibly fast.
Li Xu was somewhat moved; in just one day's interaction, these teammates had already accepted him and regarded him as a part of the group. Regardless of the internal conflicts, they were at least willing to stand united with him against external challenges
"Don't, brother, I'm playing well, I'm playing AD, not playing Serpent anymore." Teddy persistently sent an invitation.
Li Xu is happily starting his solo queue journey again
Brother Li was the first to speak: "Esports knows no borders; poor performance is the original sin." Brother Li is different from his usual self in the live broadcast; he is typically a reticent person. However, once he has acknowledged this teammate, he will unreservedly support them.
What heroes do you play?
I will prove through my performance on the field that I deserve to wear the SKT jersey said Li Xu firmly
If it were possible to have the level of Chinese players from the IG team on the S8, it would not be unacceptable
LPL official commentator Zeyuan commented immediately, "What? This season's major overhaul of SKT has already surprised me, and even more astonishing is that they have now brought in a Chinese player, who is also a newcomer making his debut in the professional arena. Regardless, I wish my compatriot well and hope he can gain valuable experience at SKT"
"Go, Senior Li Xu! We support you." This is the support from the junior students of Seoul University for Li Xu.
Are you intimidated by my brother's achievements? Sit down, sit down, it's just a routine operation! Li Xu could not hide his pride
This is the template for good teammates in ranked matches! No reckless play when ahead, no surrender when behind, solid skills—who wouldn't want to be my teammate
Even KHAN spoke up, saying, "Matters on the field should be resolved on the field, without involving other factors. If he is indeed better than me, then I deserve to be a substitute."
Twilight Star Spirit, 9 pieces, win rate 100%
So painful, so painful, so painful, haha! Can't die, are you angry, are you angry
Li Xu looked a bit awkwardly at the red record of 5 consecutive defeats.
Host, why are you so outstanding
Li Xu is just joking, it's all in good fun. Brother Xu is someone who aims to conquer everything, how could he possibly abandon his principles to become a pawn
However, there are also some rational fans who support the club's decision
Li Xu was not familiar with the domestic situation; however, the next day, under the influence of certain individuals with ulterior motives, this matter caused quite a stir within South Korea.
You want to continue watching the captain's flamboyant way of sending people to their doom, but I want to see it too
Setting aside the nearly 90% win rate, MATA has flipped through two pages of match records and has yet to see a single side lane hero.
Over 60% of the extreme fans online are drawn to Li Jingheng, and various insults are rampant on the internet; online violence is not something that exists only in China
"SKT does not need Chinese people, go back to China."
MATA looked at Li Xu's record with a strange expression on his face
Kim Jong-hoon patted his shoulder and said, "Everyone, let's begin the training."
Two hours later, "Woof, woof!"
But aren't you going to practice solo lane? How do you maintain your touch?
Esports knows no borders; let's evaluate the performance first. If the performance is lacking, I will criticize regardless of where you are from
Chinese player Li Xu, ID: KING, has officially joined SKT, becoming a part of T1. He hopes that T1 fans will cheer for him. At the same time, he is also the first foreign player in LCK. Below, there is a photo of Li Xu along with his introduction.
Host, let's have another round, please double my happiness
In the following days, Li Xu immersed himself in the ranking matches, reaching 300 points in the Master tier within 6 days
This year, we have spent so much to assemble the Galaxy Battleship, and we are about to take off. Are you feeding us a pile of nonsense
Li Xu swore, "If I duo queue with Teddy again, I am a dog"
Woof woof, streamer, please help me rank up too
Various mid-lane heroes took turns appearing, achieving an extraordinarily high win rate. Upon turning the page again, I finally saw two heroes heading to the top lane, only to find a series of consecutive defeats.
Anchor, your true colors as a slave are so vivid
SKT conference room, everyone gathered together, looking at the projection wall
Here, Teddy has chosen Lucian, everything is normal
Are you perhaps the legendary Iron Slave?
Hehe! Am I impressive? That group of orphan teammates, despite their disadvantages, still play recklessly and do not learn from my cautious development. In the end, the opposing team pushed through easily. What can I do? Since we are bound to lose, there is no need to rush in and give away kills; I can still preserve my KDA.
Doll: "Oh my, am I the only one who noticed that this is a graduate from Seoul University?"
You only died 6 times in total across these five matches? And you have a record of 1 / 0 / 5? Your teammates died 32 times, and you didn't die even once
Li Xu is aware that the coaching staff is under significant pressure, but the one facing the greatest pressure is his team manager, Li Jingheng, who brought him in
Indeed, the captain of ADC is impressive; Teddy performed exceptionally well, and Li Xu won effortlessly
Wang remembered: "It has always been the case that only Korean players come to China to compete professionally. This is the first time a Chinese player has competed professionally in the LCK, and I believe it will not be the last. Although I do not know you, good luck Li Xu, and I wish you all the best"
