Chapter 253 Why Can’t LPL Keep Reaper?
Jin Yibo's worries are not unreasonable.
Judging from Chen Yiqiu's various performances after the new season.
Buying a house in LCK again, falling in love in LCK again...
And most importantly, Faker seems to be a gay and has been pestering Reaper.
He is very doubtful that even in the new S8 season, will Reaper return to the LPL?
Unless Faker and other SKT teammates are brought to the LPL, or there are major personnel changes within the SKT team.
For example, the big devil Lee Sang Hyuk was planned by the management, BangWolf retired to retire, Little Peanut was in a sluggish state, etc...
But for now, at least this SKT team has not shown this trend, not even a trace.
"Yes, I believe no one can wait longer. SKT is very strong now, but there is a saying that perfection will not last long. Mr. Jin, let us wait and see!"
The assistant was also quite artistic. After making these predictions, the two of them looked at the big screen again.
Unfortunately, the award ceremony has ended at this moment, leaving only a wave of barrages filling the screen.
…
"Brothers, where are we going to eat tonight?"
"My suggestion is to go directly to Yiqiu's Dabieye and hold a grand party."
In the bus, SKT chose to return directly to the club after the on-site awards ceremony.
It's not that they are aloof, but the LCK championship is the most important honor for everyone in the world. But in front of the LCK, I can only say that it is an honor, but the standard is definitely not as high as winning the S championship.
Besides, this is what Kkoma promised everyone.
Since the end of the winter transfer last year and the beginning of the new season, this new SKT has been working harder to train in order not to be eliminated in the new season. The training within the team was so involved that Pei Junzhi's eyes were dull, and the thought of retiring came up in his heart more than once. .
One can imagine how outrageous the training intensity of SKT in S7 is.
Because of this, after the journey in their own competition area in the first half of the year is over, everyone wants nothing more than to relax briefly and relieve the fatigue and tense nerves of the past few months as much as possible.
Kkoma did not break his promise. When he heard the voice, he looked at Chen Yiqiu: "Yiqiu, is it convenient?"
"anytime."
Chen Yiqiu will not disturb everyone's interest, and Li Sang Hyuk is quite happy today, and he also wants to help him.
really.
Hearing what Chen Yiqiu said, Li Sanghyuk said happily: "Okay, then... Junzhi, you go call Eunjing and the others?"
"Haha. I knew it."
Pei Junzhi bared his teeth and smiled, without revealing Li Sang Hyuk's little thoughts. He took out his mobile phone with a smile and started shaking people.
…
the other side.
After SKT won the cup again and Chen Yiqiu completed three consecutive LCK championships for three consecutive times, public opinions in major competition regions around the world varied.
The local side of LCX has fully accepted Chen Yiqiu.
In other words, Chen Yiqiu's current popularity is definitely considered a 'freak' in the Korean competition.
Because there is no foreign player in history who can achieve this level in LCK.
In current terms in the LCK division, Reaper is like the strongest mercenary in history.
The world's No. 1 top laner?
NO, he’s just the best thug in the world!
In Europe and the United States, Reaper has become more respected. They believe that Reaper is an epoch-making super top laner. Public opinion was very unfriendly to the European and American divisions for failing to buy Reaper during the winter transfer period last year to strengthen the division. The G2 boss once scolded him. Break defense.
As the only designated spokesperson of G2, Ah P even tweeted relevant information that night.
G2 Perkz: [There are always some idiots asking us on Twitter every day, why not buy Reaper, why not buy such an excellent top laner, and why we missed this good opportunity...]
[What I want to say is, is it really because we don’t buy it? We once paid a sky-high price that far exceeded the market price, but there is no doubt about the relationship between Reaper and Faker. This is not a relationship that can be measured in terms of money. Do you understand? 】
This tweet has great influence on the Internet, and almost everyone in the LOL circle knows it. Even the parties involved, Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk, occasionally heard about it later.
After this tweet, it seems that in order to alleviate public opinion, C9 also tweeted.
[G2 is right. What Perkz said is obviously true, but few people believe it. They only value everything in front of them. In fact, this is the case with the world. They see that the current Reaper is so good, so they hate their own division. , players, I wish Reaper could become an American. 】
[But the cruel thing is that Reaper is Chinese, and the Chinese division itself cannot keep him, let alone us? 】
The effect of C9's tweet is almost as good as Ah P's speech, and C9 is very stupid. They successfully introduced the topic that Chen Yiqiu is not an American, he is not even Korean.
A Chinese, such a strong Chinese player, but the LPL division itself has not retained it, then can they from other divisions do it?
At this moment, those who are criticizing them and criticizing them, haven’t they thought about this?
as expected.
Under the guidance of such a sensitive topic, public opinion on the Internet immediately changed from "Why not buy Reaper during the transfer period" to a series of extended UC shocking topics such as "What did the LPL do to Reaper?"
As a result, LPL officials and viewers are not happy.
They are miserable!
The current situation and public opinion of the LPL in the international arena is very embarrassing. On the one hand, they have performed too much in the international competition. It is almost seven years since the S-League was held, but they have not even won a world championship.
It would be okay if there was no such person as Reaper before.
Everyone is used to the LPL's push-ups, and to the fact that the LPL division is rich but not strong.
But the problem is that Reaper is now too dazzling.
The opponent is not only the first LPL registered player in history to win the trophy, but may also become the first LPL registered player in history to defend the S Championship for two consecutive years.
So is LPL strong or LPL weak?
It can be said that the stronger Chen Yiqiu performs now, the more uncomfortable it will be for LPL, because everything is afraid of reflection and comparison. In such a comparison, the LPL management seems so incompetent.
If you can't retain such an excellent player, isn't that just incompetence and inaction?
[First of all, the LPL official is dead first. Secondly, should the LPL teams and players reflect on it? Are they all trash? If MSI lets SKT step on its head and win the championship again this year, then I will go directly to the LCK and rubbish the LPL. I will be stuck in the mud for the rest of my life! 】
[One thing to say, I was originally just watching the excitement, but when I saw the sentence "The Chinese region itself can't keep Reaper, let alone us", I couldn't hold back anymore. 】
[Chen Sheng is really strong, LPL officials are really bad, and RNG is the worst among bad guys. 】
[Let’s put it here, if SKT wins again this year, then RNG will be nailed to the pillar of shame in LPL history forever, the kind that will never be washed away in a lifetime. 】
[The reason why the LPL division is like this is because RNG forced Chen Sheng away! 】
[Almost done, a league championship, Chen Xiaozi are now climaxing again? 】
[What happened to my RNG? Is RNG not a strong team in LPL? Not working hard to win the LPL championship? It's better than that white-eyed wolf, working for the Koreans all your life, so awesome! 】
[What are you comparing? RNG will crush SKT at MSI this year! 】
【……! 】
RNG's popularity in the LPL is not low now, so when people started to complain about RNG on a large scale, many RNG fans couldn't sit still and started to leave the game one by one.
Another melee ensued.
at the same time.
"Why is no one mentioning us online?"
WE Club.
The WE people who have also been following the event all day today are enjoying themselves leisurely.
But as they ate, they discovered that everyone had agreed that RNG would represent LPL in the MSI this year.
This made everyone at WE a little unhappy.
Because compared to the previous game state and strength, they are definitely not weaker than RNG.
Now everyone assumes that RNG wins the championship and ignores them. Who can withstand this?
"It doesn't matter, the less favored the better, history has proven that the most favored teams eventually fell behind...well, except SKT."
Xiye blinked and rounded her words.
SKT is indeed an exception. They are favored every year and win the championship every year... They simply regard metaphysics as nothing!
It is recommended that brother T1 be banned permanently!
"We will fight RNG and win for sure."
The brother-in-law didn't talk much, but his tone was very confident. Even though he might have to face Uzi in the finals, he didn't panic at all.
"Shengjun is right, what you want is this kind of momentum."
The leg guy on the road turned his head, pushed up his glasses, and said rather embarrassedly: "To be honest... I've been studying Reaper's game videos."
"So that we won't be beaten online when we compete at MSI."
"...Awesome, when it comes to preparation, it's you who's in trouble."
Xiye was silent for a long time and gave a thumbs up to Brother Leg.
"Okay everyone, I already know a little bit about Little Peanut. Let's all work hard. We must represent LPL in MSI this year. For no other reason than to fight for this breath!"
After Kandi finished speaking his heroic words, he paused and looked at everyone: "If you win the championship, do you want to reward yourself?"
"Oh? Reward?" Everyone was stunned.
"Yes."
Kandi smiled shyly: "For example... go to the bar for a drink, or go to a foot bath for a massage... It's not impossible to do a full set at the club."
Everyone was speechless.
…
"A lot of people are praising you, Yiqiu. It's amazing. You've almost become a celebrity on Twitter now."
Farewell to the wilderness.
Pei Junzhi was scrolling through his mobile phone while giving real-time feedback on Twitter and other comments about Chen Yiqiu and others.
"Hey, this person is talking about gods and demons. What does SKT's bottom lane mean? It relies on the top lane and the middle lane... Bang is the pendant on Reaper's thigh. It is recommended that Bang stand under Reaper's crotch and do crazy output... What do you mean? Who posted this? ?”
When Pei Junzhi saw a translated comment, his face instantly became furious.
I feel like my personality has been greatly insulted.
Although there are always various rumors in the LCK competition area.
For example, although the Rat King did not win the championship, he was still better than Bang.
Although so-and-so has never won, he is number one in the world.
But, this is an external network.
Could it be that the outside world also has this evaluation of him, Pei Junzhi?
So what's the point of training so hard day and night to win the championship?
In the past, everyone just said that he was led by Faker, but now, there is a Reaper next to Faker...
This SKT, it’s okay not to wait!
How many championships do I need to win to ‘prove’ myself?
"Don't worry, it should have been posted by a Chinese netizen."
As soon as Chen Yiqiu heard this sentence structure and meme, he immediately realized that this was a Chinese netizen, because the Internet probably didn't know much about these meme.
"Ah...that's also a foreign evaluation."
Pei Junzhi said confidently: "Yiqiu, if you speak your mind, am I really that unbearable?"
"That's not true."
Chen Yiqiu is very honest.
"right."
"Yes, it's just that... you're really not as good at operations as they are."
At this time, Wolf next to him suddenly interjected and said a touch-up.
?
Pei Junzhi: "If you want to die, you can just say it, fat man."
"Who are you calling a fat person? Okay, I'll slap you to death!"
Han Lang was attacked to a vital point and broke through his defense instantly.
"Oh, okay, okay, keep watching, keep watching, don't interrupt."
Chen Yiqiu was a little dissatisfied with this sudden interruption.
At this moment, they had arrived at Chen Yiqiu's Dabieye, but Enjing and the others were still a little late due to work reasons.
So now everyone is bored, and suddenly found it interesting to ask teammates to read some comments after winning the championship. It was reaching its climax, and Wolf suddenly started a team fight with his face.
What is this for?
"okay."
Bae Junzhi was also eager to see his praise and continued to scroll down: "This comment said... SKT has now been updated to the era of God Kings, and the era of Demon Kings has become a thing of the past, because the dominance of Demon Kings in the new season has significantly declined."
"Faker is no longer the indomitable and invincible devil he used to be. He is more like a revised version of the Rune Mage, steady and soft with a bit of smoothed edges."
"This fan's speech is very good and I suggest it be published in a newspaper."
Chen Yiqiu nodded with great satisfaction.
Li Sang Hyuk's face turned dark: "Do you think you are funny?"
Pei Junzhi suddenly became happy: "Hey, someone here said it. Bang is the greatest ADC in history. There is no doubt that he is the first in history. No bottom player can compare with him. The double AD honor is the best in ancient and modern times!"
"Those who say Bang relies on Faker and Reaper have no ability to watch the game. On the contrary, these two rely more on Bang."
"This is good, this is good!"
Pei Junzhi was so happy that he opened his mouth: "Let me see which discerning fan this is! I want to follow him on Twitter!"
"Is there anyone else so blind?"
All the teammates were also shocked when they heard it, and if they were curious, they would lean over.
As a result, before they came over, they saw Pei Junzhi, who was in high spirits and inexplicably excited one second, suddenly turned serious and turned off the screen of his mobile phone the next moment.
"?what are you doing?"
"It's okay, I just suddenly don't want to watch anymore."
"???"
Chen Yiqiu looked at Pei Junzhi with strange eyes: "Who posted that comment just now?"
"Just a fan."
"let us see."
Wolf took advantage of his size and snatched Pei Junzhi's phone away.
"Hey! What are you doing? You are so barbaric!"
Pei Junzhi became anxious instantly.
"Let's see...Xi Ba! Bae Junzhi is incomparably handsome...Isn't this...Park Ji Sun's trumpet? No, Junzhi."
Li Zaiwan had already seen the commenter's ID at this moment, and looked at Pei Junzhi with a confused look on his face: "Did you use your wife's number to issue it yourself? In order to satisfy your vanity, you are too 'crazy'."
