Chapter 153: Facing the African Team

The second round of the spring season has become more intense. One day after defeating DWG, KT defeated Hanhua again with a score of 2:0.

Compared with the first round, it was much easier for KT to defeat Hanhua this time.

Lin Cheng still took advantage in the top lane and firmly grasped the line. Bono led the rhythm with his teammates pushing the line, catching people, taking dragons and pioneers without stopping.

Aiming in the bottom lane naturally beat Hanhua's part-time AD player without mercy. Now even Kuro is not messing around. He sprayed the opponent with a snake girl in a team battle and made him completely unable to resist.

From the scene, this is a competition between two levels of teams.

KT's performance made the LCK commentator say that this KT has completely transformed. They have truly become a force that cannot be ignored in the LCK.

Even Lin Cheng clearly felt that the tacit understanding of his teammates has improved a lot compared to when he first joined the team. They are winning streaks, but they are also improving, which has nothing to do with the strength of the opponent.

After this game, KT increased its winning streak to six games. AFS, which was originally ahead of KT, lost to SB and GEN·G in the second round, and now has the same record as KT, 6 wins and 5 losses.

KT surpassed AFS with a small advantage to 4th place in the standings because of Lin Cheng's 2:0 winning streak after he came on the court.

And DRX, which ranked third, has a record of 7 wins and 4 losses, only one more win than KT.

T1, which ranked second, currently has a record of 9 wins and 2 losses, while GEN·G, which leads the standings, has a record of 10 wins and 1 loss.

On Friday, March 29, KT welcomed AFS, the champion team of the Kespa Cup at the beginning of this year.

AFS, the full name of Afreeca Freecs, is also called the "African Team" by domestic audiences because its pronunciation is a bit similar to the English pronunciation of "Africa". It was renamed after Afreeca TV, the largest live broadcast platform in South Korea, acquired the Anarchy team.

Many domestic audiences' impression of this team comes from the final game of S8 Intercontinental Championship.

After RW Xia played a final game with RNG, the team that played in LCK was AFS.

At that time, this team faced the LPL league champion RNG. The AFS bottom lane duo staged a famous scene of a travel frog killing two people in one car, and handed the Intercontinental Championship to the LPL region.

And the AFS travel frog duo at that time was Lin Cheng's teammates Aiming and Tusin.

In fact, this year's AFS was once regarded as a strong contender for the LCK championship, because they showed that their compatibility with the version in the Kespa Cup was significantly higher than that of other teams.

At the beginning of the spring season, AFS did perform strongly as expected, and was once at the top of the standings.

However, some players disappeared while playing, and some teams became unlucky while playing.

After the glory at the beginning of the season, AFS gradually began to lose momentum. Others adapted to the version more and more, but they became less and less adapted to the version. At present, the first championship in the team's history is getting farther and farther away.

Today, KT's game was played at halftime. A group of people did not practice in the afternoon, so they gathered together to watch the early game.

The previous game was played by DRX, KT's next round opponent.

There was no upset. DRX easily defeated Griffin. The current relegation situation of last season's LCK runner-up is really not optimistic.

It was almost 5 pm in Korean time. The referees of LCK were in place and the players began to prepare in the training room.

Kuro: "Play well today and win. If we win against DRX in the next round, we will be ranked third."

Aiming checked the microphone and shouted: "Come on!"

Tusin: "I agree. We have to win this game and the next one. Come on, come on!"

Bono: "You scared me to death! Come on, please be quiet. Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

Aiming defended: "I'm testing the microphone."

Lin Cheng smiled: "Usually, you two test the microphones and say hello, hello, hello. What's wrong? Are you so passionate today and ready to beat up your old team?"

The two players in the bottom lane, including Kuro, are all former players of AFS. As a professional player, beating up their old team is of course a very satisfying thing.

Regarding Lin Cheng's words, Tusin made no secret: "I hope AFS will die now."

Aiming and Kuro are fine. AFS's performance in S8 was actually very good, and the audience praised the double C.

But Tusin was under great pressure from public opinion in AFS.

Losing the Intercontinental Championship trophy for the second consecutive year was unbearable for LCK fans, who still claimed to be the top league at the time.

The keyboard warriors on the Korean Internet were no worse than those in the LPL. At that time, most people were targeting Tusin, who had ruined the game in the last wave of the final game, and they cursed Tusin crazily.

It seemed that they deliberately forgot the defeat of the three-time champion SKT and the spring champion KZ, as if the responsibility for losing the championship was all on AFS.

AFS itself has much fewer fans than other teams. What made Tusin most sad was that many AFS fans not only did not defend him, but even followed the fans of other teams to attack him crazily.

In this extremely unfriendly atmosphere of public opinion, Tusin did not seem to get rid of the shadow of the Traveling Frog after the Intercontinental Championship, and his state was very low.

Originally, the support position was responsible for starting a team fight and protecting teammates, so it was easy to make some seemingly free operations. Tusin's various low-level mistakes after returning to LCK made AFS fans dislike him even more.

Even many losses that had nothing to do with him were blamed on him by fans.

It is really a terrible thing for one person to bear the pressure of public opinion of the whole team.

Imagine if all Faker's fans disappeared, leaving only a large number of Faker haters, what kind of pressure would Li Ge suffer?

Of course... It is also possible that Li Ge's fans disappeared, and the black fans disappeared with them.

After all, Li Ge is a very pure professional player, and almost no one would hate this player himself.

Apart from those eye-catching low-level mistakes, Tusin's performance in AFS in S8 was really outstanding.

But he received the most scolding from the entire AFS team, which is really an outrageous thing.

In this way, it is understandable that Tusin resented his old club.

Lin Cheng joked: "It seems that Park Yong Hyuk was under a lot of pressure in AFS two years ago."

"It really felt very depressing. Those fans scolded me every day and left messages asking me to get out of the club. I tweeted to them and was punished by the club."

Tsuin took a sip of water, "That year, I lost a full 20 pounds."

Everyone: "???"

With your body shape, losing another 20 pounds is not a bad thing at all.

"Don't worry, we will definitely beat AFS today to vent your anger."

Lin Cheng patted Tusin's shoulder hard, "Although you like to give away, and you always take Aiming with you to give away, you are still a good support."

Tusin: "·····"

Are you praising me?
