Chapter 589 Double Standards on the Scene
When the KT players took off their headphones and stood up to celebrate, the director had already played the subtitles:
2020 LCK SUMMER CHAMPION
KT Rolster
Remember: "So, let us congratulate KT for winning the fourth league championship in their team history, and the second league championship this year. From spring to summer, two different opponents in the finals, two 3:0, this KT truly dominated the LCK for a whole year."
Ze Yuan: "KT, who won the league championship, also confirmed that it will participate in this year's global finals as the No. 1 seed of LCK. In more than a month in Shanghai, Brother Orange is really coming."
After a pause, Ze Yuan continued: "Of course, after this game, DWG will participate in the subsequent bubble game to compete for the No. 3 seed seat in LCK, and GEN·G will automatically become the No. 2 seed of LCK to participate in the world game because of the advantage of spring and summer points."
"The corners of his mouth rose inexplicably, and the colonel hahaha."
"The colonel was ecstatic! Samsung entered the world game."
"Is GEN·G the weakest second seed in history?"
"The first and third seeds are both very strong, but the one in the middle is really bad."
"Don't be so harsh! What if DWG fails to hold on in the bubble match? It's not certain that the third seed is a big turtle."
"I have a hunch that Samsung will be beaten up in Shanghai."
"Brother Orange, go!"
"I'm going to Shanghai to find Brother Orange to fence! Is there a team?"
"Brother Orange's time to serve his country has come. Who says only Korean players can act?"
"The script is written: Brother Orange beats G2 in the quarterfinals, sends DWG away in the semifinals, and loses to Top Esports in the final."
"If Top Esports wins the championship, Brother Orange will have half the credit."
"Don't play Top Esports. Brother Orange can beat 369 with his eyes closed."
······
The players' hugs and celebrations infected the KT fans in front of the screen.
"Hey! I'm keeping my word, I won again!"
Lin Cheng's words through the camera even made fans think he was talking to them, because Lin Cheng said he would fill up KT's Hall of Fame.
Once again, he kept his promise, and Lin Cheng's words to the camera made countless KT fans cry.
After a brief celebration, the entire KT team left the training room at the signal of the staff.
The hall outside had been set up with a booth, and the LCK league championship trophy was quietly placed on the booth.
The star and eagle symbolizing the LCK logo were engraved in the middle of the cup, and the silver trophy composed of columnar lines shone brightly under the lights.
The trophy had been transported to the KT base before the finals began. Although it was an online game, the most important toast ceremony for winning the championship could not be missed.
In fact, there was also such a trophy in DWG's base on the other side, but that was a replica. The LCK organizers must still be more optimistic about KT winning the championship.
Under the leadership of the coach, all KT members gathered next to the booth and put their hands on the trophy.
"3, 2, 1."
"Champion!"
"Champion!"
The trophy was raised high.
The toasting ceremony was very simple, far from the on-site atmosphere of the offline game.
But even though there were no flying ribbons and no golden rain, the smiles from the heart on the faces of the players still infected all the KT fans.
At this moment, the KT fans on the Korean website were already boiling.
"Woo! We are champions again."
"DWG is vulnerable in front of us, KKKKKK."
"We KT are invincible."
"Cheng! Go to Shanghai and bring back the Summoner's Cup."
"This year is the most promising year for KT. The world championship must be witnessed in person."
"I'm leaving for Shanghai for quarantine. See you in Shanghai, brothers."
"Brothers, don't be impulsive! We don't know if the tickets for S10 will be sold yet. Why go so early?"
"The finals have been confirmed to have spectators. I don't believe that our KT can't even make it to the finals. Go to China a month in advance to prepare for tickets."
"I really envy the big guys who have money and time. I can only go to offline theaters to cheer."
Some KT fans have already started thinking about how to go to China to cheer live, while fans of other teams have different joys and sorrows.
GEN·G fans are sitting on the Diaoyutai.
DWG fans are not too panicked. DWG, who defends the bubble game, has a high probability of winning no matter who they play.
DRX and T1 fans are a little melancholy.
"Congratulations to KT! We GEN·G also made it to the World Championship!"
"As a GEN·G fan, it's great to see KT win so cleanly."
"You guys are definitely happy to make it to the World Championship."
"DWG went to the bubble match, how can other teams play?"
"I still support T1, the finals can't be without Faker."
"You still want to win three games in the bubble match? T1 has no chance this year, prepare for next year."
······
After the toast, all KT members lined up in the hall, waiting for the post-match interview like good kids.
The post-match interview was connected with the official commentary seat of the Korean stream. The host of the final commentary seat today is still the evergreen Lianzhuji, as well as Hengha Erjiang CT and Guangshi.
Lianzhuji: "First of all, I want to say congratulations to Coach Hirai. This is your fourth LCK championship in your coaching career. How do you feel now?"
"This is one of my happiest moments this year. Of course, I am able to stand here entirely because of the excellent performance of the players. I am really grateful for their efforts."
After a pause, Kang Dongxun changed the subject: "But... if Lin Cheng tells me to get water and order takeout in the future, I will be even more grateful."
The three people in the commentary booth laughed.
Although the audience likes to call the coach with a low sense of presence as the one who orders takeout, this is definitely not the responsibility of the head coach, and Lin Cheng repeatedly instructs Kang Dongxun to pour water mainly to frame him and lower the coach's status in the food chain in the team.
Kang Dongxun is also very interesting. After being tricked by Lin Cheng, he also tacitly abides by the rules of the food chain, but he turns around and tricks the assistant coach. Anyway, he can't let his status be at the bottom.
Continuous Casting Machine: "Now let's ask Cheng, how do you feel now that you have won two championships in a row since your debut?"
Lin Cheng thought for a while: "Of course I am mostly happy, but I still feel a little sad. The competition was held online, and I couldn't share the joy of winning with my fans on the spot."
Continuous Casting Machine: "It is indeed a pity that Cheng's two championships this year were not witnessed by the live audience. This year's world championship will be held in Shanghai. If you have the opportunity to hold a fan meeting in Shanghai, what will you treat your fans to?"
"Probably, it depends on how many fans will show up... If there are too many people, I can only treat them to fried eggs."
Lin Cheng was a little hesitant and couldn't help but add: "I may have a lot of fans in China."
Mitsuishi couldn't help but interrupt: "Faker once said that he would treat his fans to eggs. Have you asked him for advice?
Lin Cheng said seriously: "It's different. Other players may treat their fans to fried eggs because they are stingy, but I treat them because I am poor. ”
Calling poor is of course a joke, but KT’s Weibo followers in China have skyrocketed by hundreds of thousands this year, many of which are because of Lin Cheng’s presence, which shows that he still has some fans in China.
If there are too many people, he will go bankrupt even if he eats buffet according to Shanghai’s consumption level.
Because of Lin Cheng’s explanation, Huya’s barrage has exploded.
“Haha! Other people are stingy, and they are just pointing at Li Ge’s nose. ”
“Faker: Are you polite?”
“Famous double standards! Why is Li Ge stingy, haha!”
“Let’s be honest, even if it’s one dollar per fried egg, the Weibo fans can make Brother Cheng’s legs weak.”
“Brother Cheng’s salary is not high in the first year, everyone should understand.”
“Brother Cheng is crying poor, why don’t LPL teams spend money quickly?”
“Brother Cheng, come to LPL, it’s easy to treat teammates to Haidilao every day with your salary.”
