Chapter 1698 My Own Son Also Has a Rebellious Period
On Friday, January 14, KT welcomed its second opponent of the new season, KDF.
KDF is actually last year's African team. This year, it changed its name after reaching a three-year sponsorship agreement with Guangdong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
The team's recruitment method during the AFS period has always been criticized. After signing a long-term contract with Kiin at a high price, they have never built a relatively balanced and combat-capable team. They always spend a lot of money on one or two positions, and then they are stingy and pick up rags in other positions.
Fans joked that Fei Ge had helped the boss of the African team to block bullets so that he could always be the starting mid laner in AFS. In fact, the main reason is that Fei Ge's salary is cheap.
With new sponsors this year, the renamed KDF has made a big move in recruiting players, signing three former T1 players and successfully winning the title of T2 team.
However, the outside world generally believes that KDF's recruitment strategy this year is still abstract.
Teddy has a high salary, and his strength is still in the top half of LCK.
But after recruiting AD at a high price, KDF gave Teddy a substandard support.
Hoit has been on the bench almost all the time since his debut. He has little game experience and his performance in the secondary league is also very bad. He is not a promising star in the future.
Except for T1's requirement that three players must be packaged together, the outside world can't think of a reason why KDF wants to buy Hoit.
In addition, it is the jungler.
Ellim's performance has not been very outstanding since his debut in T1. Except for the jungle core version of Lilia, he played well. After entering the rhythm version, he always had no rhythm every time he played, and then he was completely marginalized in T1.
He is different from Cuzz.
After all, Cuzz has proven himself since his debut in Longzhu. Even if the fans dislike him, it can't change the fact that Cuzz is a first-line jungler in LCK.
But Ellim, as a pure rookie, has not even played a full season. No one knows whether he can stand alone.
KDF kicked out Draed and took the risk of introducing such an unproven player as the starting jungler. It seems hard.
The most important rhythm point of a team is the mid and jungle. After introducing Ellim, KDF signed Fate.
This player gives people the impression that he is a mess.
Last year, his game seemed okay, but not so good.
Anyway, his play style is not very C. It is basically impossible to rely on him when he is at a disadvantage, but he is usually not the one to be found.
The most important rhythm point, the mid and jungle, are both passive characters who can't find the rhythm. KDF's team building idea seems to have a big problem.
Kuro expressed his pessimism about KDF's mid and jungle in the pre-season analysis station program.
Either give Ellim a mid laner like Faker who is experienced and can do things, or give Fate a jungler with strong initiative. Both options are fine. As a result, KDF forced two people who don't take the initiative to do things together.
How can you play if both mid and jungle want to mix?
In addition, Teddy in the bottom lane also plays the game of development and waiting for the team. Just looking at the roster, you can tell that their games should be boring and long.
In fact, their first game of the new season was not long, and T1 beat them in two games.
The first game against T1 made KDF fans cry out that they were fooled.
T1 successfully detoxified, but it seems that they were infected by the toxins discharged by T1.
Ellim had no rhythm and was like a headless fly in the jungle.
Hoit's operation was extremely rough, and he was made to look like a fool by Keria.
Teddy still played a safe style in the line, but he was a little overwhelmed by the impact of Xiao Lu Bu.
Kiin tried his best in the top lane.
Fate was paddling.
Except for the time of the game, it was generally in line with Mr. Kuro's pre-match prediction.
This team may not have a low bottom line, but the upper limit is also visible to the naked eye.
However, KDF has accumulated some fans over the years. Kiin and Teddy are both star players, and it is not a marginal team that no one pays attention to.
Many T1 fans chose to come to the scene for this game to support the old T1 players in the KDF team and disgust KT.
If KDF can beat KT unexpectedly, I can't imagine the faces of the mess.
Today, Jin Zhixian did not participate in the commentary seat, but accepted KT's invitation to help host the off-site interview.
Recently, the club is preparing a program and needs some pre-match off-field materials. This part will be broadcast live to fans.
At the entrance of LOL PARK, a fat man wearing a KDF uniform was seen walking in with a bucket of popcorn. Jin Zhixian led the camera crew forward.
"Excuse me, are you a KDF fan?"
"Yes!"
"Are you confident in today's game?"
"Of course I have no confidence."
The fat fan grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering: "I will be very happy if I can win, but to be honest, it seems unlikely."
"I have been an AFS fan since 2018, and even my friends around me have become AFS fans."
"Usually, I will buy three consecutive tickets in advance for each game, two for friends and one for myself, but today I can't give away my two tickets because no one around me wants to watch us get beaten up by KT."
The fat fan kept stuffing popcorn into his mouth, and said some sad words in a calm and light voice.
"It's so heartbreaking, no one is willing to come even if I give away tickets 23333"
《Of course I have no confidence, but he said this with a straight face》
《Isn't this a reflection of 60e now? (Funny)》
《This is how fans start to play badly》
《Everyone understands, there will be no disappointment if there is no expectation》
《But this fat guy has a good attitude and eats very happily》
《KT is stable in today's game, and two consecutive wins are scheduled》
《The army of the underdog will win! Come on KDF!》
《Stop pretending, show your identity》
《Miss Jihyun is so pretty, if I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I wouldn't be so tired to worry》
《You'd better add punctuation marks in the right place, otherwise Brother Chengzi will be expelled from the fan club》
KT's official Youtube live broadcast room has a special Chinese subtitle real-time translation function for domestic audiences. This is the home of many fans who have climbed over the wall, and everyone is chatting and gossiping.
Of course, not all KDF fans are pessimistic. Jin Zhixian caught a very optimistic guy below.
The guy looks very elegant with black-framed glasses.
"G? He is indeed a very powerful character, but we have Kiin! The best Korean top laner!"
As a die-hard fan of Lin Cheng, Jin Zhixian couldn't help but remind him, "But Kiin seems to have never won a game against G in his career?"
"That was in the past."
The young man shrugged, "Although the result of the first game of the new season is not very good, I am very confident in the players. After today, Kiin will start a winning streak against G."
The elegant young man looked so confident that the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't hold back.
At this time, the KT fans passing by couldn't stand it anymore.
A guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes leaned over and mocked loudly at the camera: "The winning rate is zero percent! Kiin is G's biological son! Don't have unrealistic fantasies!"
The elegant young man turned around and retorted, "Even biological sons will have a rebellious period! Today is the time for Kiin to turn over."
