Chapter 115 Luring the Haters In!!! [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]
"Let's congratulate T1 on taking another point!"
They're just one step away from taking the LCK 2020 Summer Championship!
The moment the match ended, the Roaring Emperor's voice rang out once again.
"DWG changed their tactics this game, and it did have a good effect in the early stages, but unfortunately the bottom lane was torn open a little too much," Kim Eui-jung said with some regret.
"In any case, the competition is not over yet, and everything is still uncertain!"
Even if there's only the slightest chance, you can't give up easily!
"As long as there's even the slightest chance, you have a chance to win the game!"
With the commentators cheering on the losing side, DWG seemed to be encouraged and won two games in a row!
This made many people who wanted T1 to lose extremely excited.
【Today!!!】
I thought it would only fade away in the next T1 patch, but it seems it's already over?
[Who says there's no such thing as a comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2? DWG will prove it to you!!!]
[Is this all there is to being a useless character? The four-time champion Nidalee can't even handle this?!?]
[That's how it is with the hero's spoon; you could say Huan Chu has the best luck of all the contestants!]
[These haters are truly outrageous. During the MSC China-Korea showdown, you guys were saying my Huan-ge could only play aggressive junglers, and now it's all about Nidalee?]
After DWG won the first two games, the two sides smoothly entered the fifth game, the ultimate showdown!
As the classic battle anthem played, the Roaring Emperor's passionate voice resounded throughout the entire venue.
"Under immense pressure, DWG, with their strong resilience, successfully tied the score."
Just one step away, DWG is just one step away from completing a reverse sweep from 0-2 down to 3-2. Can they do it?
"I feel the pressure is on T1. After winning the first two games, they were caught up by their opponents. It's easy for their mentality to be affected!" Kim Eui-jung chimed in.
But when the director turned the camera on the T1 members, he found that Lee Doo-hwan and Lee Sang-hyeok were laughing.
"Sun and Feike don't seem nervous at all," Yoon Soo-bin remarked, laughing as she noticed this.
"After all, these two brothers have experienced too many games, and this is not the first time they have faced this situation."
So their mindset is definitely not the problem.
"But DWG's form has returned now, so it's really hard to say what will happen in the fifth game."
Faced with Kim Eui-jung's skepticism, Yoon Soo-bin, who is considered by netizens to be Ta-jae's biggest rival in love, said with a smile.
"I think T1 has a higher probability of winning."
Because both of DWG's wins were extremely difficult; they didn't have it as easy as T1's first two wins.
In the third and fourth games, T1 seemed to be practicing new lineups, especially in the fourth game that just ended, where imp even brought out a champion like Ziggs!
So in this fifth game, I think T1 should play seriously.
Yoon Soo-bin's words naturally provoked strong dissatisfaction from the haters.
Although there was some personal emotion involved, upon closer examination, what Yoon Soo-bin said actually made sense.
T1 won the first two games very easily.
DWG's victory was hard-fought, and T1 also gave Gu Sungbin Ziggs and Lee Sang-ho champions like Pyke and Bard.
These are heroes that the top-tier bot lane duos don't often play this year.
So it's obvious they're taking this opportunity to practice their team composition!
Although practicing team compositions for the Summer Finals sounds a bit far-fetched, what can you do when T1 is the only team in League of Legends to have won three world championships?
The team has a solid foundation, so sometimes they can afford to be a little reckless.
So when the fifth game began, everything unfolded exactly as Yoon Soo-bin had predicted.
After T1's normal champion selection, they completely crushed DWG!
"Let's congratulate T1 for refusing to come back from a 0-2 deficit and winning the LCK 2020 Summer Split championship."
They will also become our region's number one seed, representing LCK at the upcoming League of Legends World Championship!
The moment the match ended, the Roaring Emperor's voice rang out.
His voice was filled with an irrepressible excitement!
As a long-time SKT fan, he witnessed firsthand how the three-time world champion SKT began their decline after their defeat at the Bird's Nest in S7.
I thought this three-time champion team would never return to its former glory, and that the old SKT would only remain a memory of our youth.
Unexpectedly, with Lee Doo-hwan's return to the team this year, the team has once again shown the glory of the former SKT!
This inevitably brought tears to his eyes, a longtime SKT fan.
really!
This home can't be without Sun!!!
At this moment, not only the commentators were excited, but also the fans at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
【Brother Dou-hwan, loyal!!!】
[Hey, weren't you yelling a bit earlier?]
I really like what the haters said: "A comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2 is happening today!"
[The DWG members said, "I don't know why, but my keyboard started oozing milk while we were playing!"]
[You really think you can't beat DWG? T1's just kidding!]
[Just winning the Summer Split? You're bragging about that? Anyone who didn't know better would think they won the World Championship!]
[It has to be the haters again. I was thinking, T1 won three World Championships, and you guys still define them as ancient champions!?]
[Damn it, what was Xu Xiu doing in the last game? You'd think he was a pro, but someone who didn't would think he was just some random guy in the city!]
After successfully winning the match, looking at the word "Victory" on the screen, Lee Doo-hwan slowly took off his headphones, habitually gave Lee Sang-hyeok a high five, and then slowly stood up from his chair.
The situation just now looked quite dangerous, but actually everything is still under control.
Just like Yoon Soo-bin said, they even brought out champions like Bard the Ziggs, which clearly means they're practicing their lineup.
If practicing a team composition allows you to easily outmaneuver your opponents, then it's not really practicing a team composition!
Not to mention————
Even when practicing lineups, DWG still had a particularly hard time winning.
However, after practicing, at least one conclusion was reached: Lee Sang-ho is indeed not good at playing support champions like Bard and Pyke, which require strategic thinking.
After all, whether it's Bard or Pyke, if you don't play these supports well, you'll naturally be one player behind the enemy team in team fights.
Even worse, some might even become the person on the other side!
So he's better suited for roles that don't require much brainpower, like Loatheb.
After getting up and stretching his stiff body from sitting for too long, T1, led by Lee Doo-hwan,
The five people walked towards the five members of DWG.
Like the other teams, everyone bowed their heads and even their bodies when they saw Lee Doo-hwan, showing the utmost respect.
After exchanging fist bumps with the five members of DWG, the five members of T1 also came to the center of the stage.
At this moment, the Roaring Emperor's voice rang out once again.
"Let's give another round of applause to T1! Congratulations on defeating DWG and becoming the LCK 2020 Summer Split champions!!!"
As the Roaring Emperor's voice rang out, "bang bang bang!" sounds echoed throughout the venue, and golden ribbons slowly fell from the sky above the stadium, looking as if a golden rain was falling.
On stage, Lee Doo-hwan and the other four members raised the trophy together!
The crowd erupted in cheers once again, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments as powerful as the evening waves.
Why isn't Kuroko yelling anymore? Is he just naturally quiet?
T1 has already secured the number one seed for Worlds. What did Song Jiang say?
[Report: IG is ready to compete in the gauntlet!]
No way, no way, didn't they say that my Huan-ge owes IG a championship?
How did things get so bad that after losing my Huan-ge, we've been reduced to playing in the qualifying rounds?!
[There can't be a team that can't even make it to the World Championship, right?]
After a brief celebration, Yoon Soo-bin, the host, joined the LCK officials on stage.
When the official presented the awards, her eyes lingered on everyone, but if you looked closely, you would notice that they lingered on Lee Doo-hwan the longest.
After the awards ceremony, Yoon Soo-bin, as the host, followed the procedure and began interviewing the other participants.
And her first interview was with Kim Gong.
Having just joined T1 in the Summer Split and already winning the championship with the team, he seems to have had good "luck".
In reality, GimGoon's performance in the finals was undeniable and extremely important.
It's just that because he's a sacrifice role in the team, his performance isn't as outstanding as others, but the contribution he makes is no less than anyone else's.
For example, in the second game, facing DWG's deliberate tactical targeting, if it were Kim Jang-dong, he would probably have been dead long ago.
But GimGoon was different. Not only did he not die, he even played a role far beyond his own development!
This rendered all of DWG's previous efforts futile, and T1 won the game smoothly.
First of all, congratulations to our player GimGoon for winning the Summer Split championship with the team right after joining T1!
So, at such an important moment, is there anything you'd like to say?
"Hmm————" When interviewed by Yoon Soo-bin, GimGoon thought for a moment before speaking, "I'm quite happy to win the championship. After all, this is my first and possibly last LCK league championship in my professional career."
I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to Doo-hwan.
If it weren't for him, I feel I might not have had the chance to join T1, let alone win this championship.
"I might have stayed on the bench for my previous team until I retired."
Speaking of which, GimGoon, who often pulls pranks during LPL interviews and even shouted the terrifying "Fans, please!", suddenly turned to look at Lee Doo-hwan beside him.
Then, he said with a very serious expression.
"Dou-hwan, loyal!!!"
Lee Doo-hwan:
He looked at Kim Gong, who didn't seem to be lying at all; his eyes were indeed filled with deep gratitude. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.
-
Good news, the kid remembers his kindness!
Bad news ————
It seems like he doesn't know his place in the situation, maybe it's because he's been in the LPL for too long!?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do with you like this?!
This has truly caused me great suffering!
At this moment, not only was Lee Doo-hwan dumbfounded, but even Yoon Soo-bin was somewhat stunned.
Wait a minute, I think I'm an esports host?
How did this suddenly veer into a military program?!
It wasn't just Yoon Soo-bin and Lee Doo-hwan; everyone at the scene and in the live broadcast room felt the same way.
[Holy crap, what is Kim Han-cheon doing?! He's actually talking about loyalty to a Chinese person!]
No problem, after all, it was Doo-hwan who gave him a job, otherwise he would still be stuck next to the water dispenser.
He's retired!
[This is unbelievable! How can a Chinese person be so idolized by you all?! Are you even Koreans?!]
Oh no, I've lost my citizenship again!
[I'm thinking, Douhuan has won so many championships for our LCK, isn't he a million times better than you bunch of keyboard warriors?!]
[Don't yell, haters! If you're not happy, let's meet offline!]
Despite being in a foreign country, Lee Doo-hwan's popularity in the LCK is no less than that of Lee Sang-hyeok due to the honors he earned in his early years, and many people are crazy about him.
Just like Kang Seung-rok, even though he is Korean, he is still supported by a large group of die-hard fans in the LPL.
As the only four-time champion in League of Legends, Lee Doo-hwan naturally has a group of somewhat irrational fans in the LCK, who can be called "Han-style Hwan Youngsters".
Unlike Huan Xiaojiang in China, who at most bullied Sun Yalong's ex-wife.
This behavior may seem inhumane, but it doesn't even qualify as a moral issue.
After all, Sun Yalong had already divorced Huihui; it's just that Sun Yalong couldn't let go of himself. He was just too attached to it.
So aside from beating up Sun Yalong's ex-wife, Huan Xiaojiang of Huaxia didn't actually dare to do anything too outrageous.
But for Hwan, the young man from South Korea, it's a different story.
Because of the unique characteristics of the competition area, if the young players from Han Shihuan are serious, they are really willing to play offline with you!
! !
The most famous one of them was the feud between Huan Xiaojiang and the tadpole!
It's well known that while the players themselves have good relationships, their fans often dislike each other and engage in mutual attacks. This kind of thing is common not only in the esports world but also in other circles.
Back then, the fans thought Lee Doo-hwan was just clinging to Lee Sang-hyeok's coattails, while the young fans thought Lee Sang-hyeok was worthless without Lee Doo-hwan's jungling skills.
So, after a while, the two groups came together.
At first, they engaged in a war of words online, but when the war of words couldn't determine a winner, some of the tadpoles took the initiative to arrange an offline meeting.
This is where the advantage of South Korea's small size becomes apparent.
The fight was scheduled for the morning and ended in the morning as well, without even interfering with lunch.
The final result was that Huan Xiaojiang beat up the tadpoles!
So from then on, Huan Xiaojiang's reputation spread far and wide.
It's okay if you offend Dou Huan online. He's not petty and doesn't care about such things.
But if you offend Huan Xiaojiang, you might be in big trouble at any time!
Since that incident, Tadpole has never dared to argue with Huan Xiaojiang again, at most making a few noises online.
After Lee Doo-hwan left SKT, and SKT was swept 3-0 by Samsung at the Bird's Nest in the following year's S7 World Championship, Tadpole even stopped making noise online.
Without Lee Doo-hwan's jungler role, Lee Sang-hyeok was indeed unable to carry the entire team on his own.
So many people are amazed that Huan Xiaojiang and Tadpole can get along peacefully, but they don't actually know what happened a long time ago.
It seems that the fans of Lee Doo-hwan and Lee Sang-hyeok are so harmonious because they have a good relationship.
In fact, back in the early, chaotic days of esports, Tadpole was actually defeated in real-life combat by Huan Xiaojiang!
After calming herself down, Yoon Soo-bin didn't respond to Kim Gong's comment.
After asking two simple, unimportant questions, the interview with him came to an end.
After interviewing Kim Gong, Yoon Soo-bin took two steps forward, held the microphone, and approached Lee Doo-hwan.
Through the big screen, anyone who isn't blind can see that Yoon Soo-bin's demeanor and actions are very different when facing Lee Doo-hwan and Kim Gong!
When facing Kim Gong, she was confident and poised, with a strong presence, clearly a professional host with rich experience.
However, when facing Lee Doo-hwan, her movements and even her eyes showed a noticeable increase in restraint.
Even the tone of his voice carried a hint of barely concealed excitement.
Her adorable fangirl demeanor has made many people a little vulnerable.
Because they can tell from these facts that if Lee Doo-hwan wants something, Yoon Soo-bin will definitely give it to him happily!
If you played well in the game, that's great, but we really can't accept this behavior!
"First of all, congratulations to Sun for leading his team to win the LCK 2020 Summer Championship."
When Yoon Soo-bin spoke, her eyes were fixed on Lee Doo-hwan, and she looked at him with great affection.
"As we just saw, T1 won the first two games and only needed one more to win the match."
In the third and fourth games, T1 made significant changes to the draft, even picking less frequently used champions like Ziggs and Bard for their bot lane duo.
My question for Sun is, what were you thinking when you made that choice?
To save face for DWG, Yoon Soo-bin even added another sentence.
"Was this bot lane pick a 'hidden strategy' prepared from the beginning for today's finals, or does it serve some other purpose?"
Upon hearing the question, Lee Doo-hwan smiled and, as always, answered directly.
"There aren't that many twists and turns. The reason I chose this hero is simply because after winning two games and feeling less pressure, I wanted to practice it out!"
Lee Doo-hwan's answer naturally caused another sensation.
However, considering that this guy has always been so arrogant and conceited, many people have come to terms with it.
Only haters seized the opportunity to make a fuss about this, clamoring that professional players should be humble and set an example for younger players, instead of disrespecting their opponents like Lee Doo-hwan.
Aside from the haters, the people who are suffering the most are undoubtedly the DWG group!
Because in their view, their team lost the finals against T1 2-3, and overall, the gap between the two sides seemed to be not too big, which was acceptable.
After all, it's not like they were defeated 3-1 or 3-0, so they don't have absolutely no chance of winning.
If it's 3-2, and we can play again, if we do a little better on some details, we might have a chance to win.
But Lee Doo-hwan's words, "training heroes," were undoubtedly a blow to all of them!
In other words, after the other team won two games and started practicing new heroes, our team only managed to win two more, and those two wins were far less easy and quick than the two wins the other team had won.
What does this mean?!
This shows that there is a significant gap between the two teams if the opposing team doesn't practice certain heroes.
We could easily be defeated 3-0 by the other side!
For a moment, the DWG members fell silent.
The self-comforting thoughts that had been there just moments before vanished completely with Lee Doo-hwan's words.
"Don't panic. Lee Doo-hwan is always prone to exaggeration, so the gap between us and them isn't as big as he claims."
Danny, the coach, noticed that the atmosphere was getting tense and quickly spoke up to calm things down.
"But Doo-hwan said before that the MSC championship could only be won by T1, and then they actually won it—" Heo Soo said, letting out a long sigh.
To be fair, DWG's performance in the Summer Split was already quite good. They can be considered the best team after T1, and they even made Samsung unable to change their tactics.
Unfortunately, as the runner-up in esports, the losers in esports are not remembered by the public, unless you are Yue Lun.
Although Xu Xiu and the others knew that Li Douhuan's answers to the interview were bound to be exaggerated and embellished.
But who can blame them for being the victor?
In esports, the winner takes all; whatever you say about winning is considered correct!
"The next version, the next jungle carry version, will be good."
"We will get our revenge on them at the World Championship!" Canyon, standing to the side, was also deeply upset.
Even though he brought out his most confident champion, Nidalee, in the last game, he still couldn't help the opponent win the match.
"The loss is mainly my fault," Ghost said with a sense of self-reproach.
If we were to pinpoint the biggest gap between the two teams today, it would definitely be in the AD position.
DWG's support Zhao Qianxi had an advantage in vision control, rhythm, and even laning phase over T1's support Lee Sang-ho.
However, the bot lane is not a one-man game. The support represents the lower limit, but the AD determines the upper limit.
When facing Gu Shengbin, Ghost King was ultimately just a little bit lacking.
Lee Doo-hwan's words sparked extremely strong reactions from DWG.
At this point, Yoon Soo-bin asked other questions.
"T1 won the first two games, but DWG then rallied to win the next two!"
At the time, we all felt that you must be under tremendous pressure in this situation.
But when the camera focused on you, it turned out you were smiling.
So what I want to ask is, how do you maintain this positive mindset when facing pressure?
"Because all of this is under my control!" Lee Doo-hwan replied logically when questioned.
"Under control!?" Yoon Soo-bin was clearly confused by Lee Doo-hwan's meaning.
"Yes, in the third and fourth games, besides deliberately practicing new heroes after taking match point, there was actually another important thing we did!"
"What is it?" Yoon Soo-bin asked instinctively.
"Actually, we could have won the game 3-0. The reason we suddenly started practicing new heroes, lost two games, and made the game very close was mainly to lure those haters into our trap!"
