Chapter 1208 I Suddenly Don't Want to Win
《Horror is coming! KT2.0 with 25 consecutive wins is about to surpass EDG to become the second team with the most consecutive wins!》
This is an article released by the LCK official after KT defeated LSB, which caused a very wide discussion.
The LCK official is very interesting. They deliberately split KT's two-year performance. Last year's 34-game winning streak was called KT 1.0 by them, and this year's 25-game winning streak was called KT 2.0 by Cheng.
The article also pointed out that this year's KT2.0 is the first team in the world to achieve such a long winning streak without any changes in the starting five.
Last year, KT's winning streak was longer, but Bono and Malrang had a short rotation when the version changed in the middle.
"Stupid official, didn't KT surpass EDG's record last year?"
"Last year's was KT 1.0, this year's is 2.0, no problem!"
"Last year's KT is 1.0? What about earlier times? What about the old captain era?"
"Don't ask! Last year was the first year of KT. We started to have history last year. The previous years can only be considered the dark ages."
"Classic of classics! Learning from LPL to count the first year of e-sports, right?"
"KT first-year fans, come out and assemble!"
"Why should we count the two years with Cheng as the core separately! I'm just afraid that other teams will be too desperate."
"I think KT this year may even be a little stronger than last year, and it can already book the S championship, right?"
"Wait for two more games to surpass EDG's winning streak, and I think we can open the champagne."
"Don't lose your character! It's not an exaggeration to say that EDG's 26-game winning streak in the league is embarrassing to go to the World Championship. It's better to be low-key and don't learn from T1."
There is a lot of debate online about KT's winning streak.
The record was broken once last year, and no one expected that after a new group of players, KT would actually surpass EDG's winning streak for the second time this year.
The worst is EDG, which clearly held the global winning streak record before last year, but now it is always used as a negative example when it is mentioned.
What's the use of winning streak? Look at EDG! Didn't they get beaten like dogs when they went to the world?
But KT fans also have something to say.
What kind of people are you in EDG?
Mingkai plays jungle and gets beaten every time he goes to the world. Has he performed better?
What kind of people are we in KT now?
The world's number one top, mid and jungle! Are you kidding?
A year and a half ago, it would be hard for anyone to think that there would be another LCK team that could dominate the league and the world like SKT, and even do better than the peak SKT.
No one would have thought that the team that dominated LCK was KT, which was once beaten like a son by SKT.
This year alone, KT has won 25 consecutive games in the league. If last year's league record is included, KT has reached a terrifying 59 consecutive wins.
Although a large number of teammates have changed, Lin Cheng is still there.
He is also the only player in the world with 59 consecutive league wins.
Of course, when statistics are generally separated from the league and cup, otherwise KT has also lost in the Kespa Cup in the middle.
But these minor flaws do not affect the suffocating feeling of KT.
Last year, when KT ended the season with 34 consecutive wins, everyone was waiting for KT to be disbanded during the transfer period.
As they wished, KT was indeed close to disintegration.
But no one expected that with Lin Cheng as the core of the team, KT quickly rebuilt an equally strong team.
This is so desperate!
Last year, they couldn't beat them, and after changing four people, they still couldn't beat them. Fans of other LCK teams have already laid down and started waiting for this year's transfer period.
It seems that only when Lin Cheng leaves can other teams have a chance to come forward.
And there will be the Asian Games next year, no matter from which aspect, the probability of Lin Cheng leaving LCK will increase dramatically.
Everyone knows that Lin Cheng is a player who attaches great importance to honor. It is impossible for him to continue to stay in KT for the Asian Games, right?
You must know that the career of e-sports players is destined to be short. The Asian Games held every four years may be Lin Cheng's only opportunity to represent the national team. No one thinks that Lin Cheng will miss this opportunity.
As long as Lin Cheng leaves, the opportunities for other LCK teams will come.
Although it is a bit aggrieved that the way they want to defeat KT is to hope that the core of the opponent will leave the team, but there is no way. Indeed, no top laner in LCK can beat Lin Cheng.
The top laners of the entire LCK are all Lin Cheng's RBQ!
Of course, the summer season is still long, and no one dares to say that KT can still maintain its dominance in the remaining games.
And it is not without risk for KT2.0 to break EDG's 26-game winning streak.
Because the opponents they met in the first five games were not too strong, and the games after the first round were almost all tough.
On June 25, KT welcomed GEN·G.
GEN·G's current record is also 5-0, which is not an opponent that can be easily defeated.
"Are you okay today? You seem to have lost to GEN·G in the last practice match?"
In the lounge before the game, Ji Shengxi handed Lin Cheng a cup of iced coffee with a little concern.
"Oh! It's okay! I just didn't play seriously in the last practice match."
Lin Cheng took a sip of coffee and exhaled a long breath of cool air, "It's so refreshing! The coffee bought by Sister Shengxi is delicious."
The other fools also gathered around and took the drinks from Chi Shengxi one by one. Peanut was also confident, "It's normal to have wins and losses in the training match when practicing the lineup. It's not a big problem if we take the game seriously."
Recently, Peanut is in really good shape. This guy is really qualified to say this.
Peanut's entire career has been unpredictable. At some time, he can be very bad, and at some time, he can be very C. Unlike many players who become bad when they get older, this guy's condition has nothing to do with age.
Seeing that the team members are all confident, Chi Shengxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on! 26 consecutive wins of the same five-man team is a rare record. I spent an entire night to plan the event in advance, and I'm waiting for you to win."
Lin Cheng raised his hand immediately after hearing this.
"Brothers! I suddenly don't want to win! What do you say?"
Everyone was silent.
There was no objection, but it was not easy to agree openly.
Chi Shengxi: “???”
What’s wrong with you?
Lin Cheng smiled: “What’s a broken record? I want to see Nuna get angry, hehehe!”
“I can get angry right now!”
Chi Shengxi couldn’t help but slap Lin Cheng on the shoulder, which made this guy angry.
“Why don’t you say anything? Don’t you have the same idea as Lin Cheng?”
Chi Shengxi turned his head and looked at the other idiots, “People who have this idea, put down the drinks in your hands, and go buy drinks in the hot sun.”
Suddenly, the other idiots gave in to Chi Shengxi.
“Lin Cheng, do you still have humanity? The event planning is the hard work of Nuna who stayed up all night!”
“I want to win anyway! Nuna, don’t be nice to Lin Cheng in the future, he is an ungrateful person.”
“Lin Cheng, I will keep an eye on you today, if you dare to act, I will report you by real name.”
Lin Cheng: “·····”
MMP! These guys are too realistic.
