Chapter 1343: Magical Plot, Curse Cast Outside the Venue?
August 21, the first day of the semi-finals.
Lin Cheng got up early in the morning to run, and after breakfast, he went back to the dormitory to take a shower, and then took cat food to the entrance of the base to feed the cats.
If Lin Cheng doesn't feed them, the base administrator will also take care of the stray cats, but Lin Cheng prefers to feed them himself.
There is a corner at the entrance of the base that is a shelter for cats. At this time, six cats are squatting or lying, all gathered outside the shelter.
"Yo! Everyone is very neat today. Did you know that there is a competition team to cheer for me?"
Lin Cheng muttered while taking out plastic bowls and pouring cat food for the cats one by one.
Each plastic bowl is printed with photos of different cats, indicating that each food bowl belongs to a different cat.
At first, these guys would fight for it, but later, they probably realized that there was no shortage of food, so there was no scene of fighting.
Of course, it is more likely that the ones with the worst tempers were taken to be sterilized by Lin Cheng.
Watching these guys squatting beside their respective food bowls and eating quickly, Lin Cheng stroked the tabby cat at his feet, "Tsk tsk! Why do you all feel fatter? It seems that you have to control your food intake in the future."
As if he understood what Lin Cheng said, the tabby cat looked up and meowed at him twice.
"Okay, okay! You are an exception, I won't deduct your food."
Lin Cheng stroked its head hard again, and the tabby cat continued to lower its head and continue to eat voraciously.
Lin Cheng didn't know why the tabby cat was so attached to him, and every time he ate, he had to lean next to him.
Even though Lin Cheng had just put its food bowl a few steps away, this guy stuck his head into the food bowl like a bulldozer and pushed the food bowl all the way to Lin Cheng's side, and then started to eat.
After feeding the cat, Lin Cheng staggered into the training room, ready to play two RANK games to warm up his hands.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the entire KT team was waiting in the lounge of LOL PARK.
Kang Dongxun made a rare pre-war mobilization, "Come on, come on! Let's win today's game in one go, and get the ticket to the World Championship first."
"Our goal is not just the league championship, let's go to the World Championship and win it in one go."
"Come on! If you can't even get past T1, what's the point of talking about the World Championship?"
"Fighting!"
Everyone encouraged each other with great enthusiasm, and then Kang Dongxun left the time to the players.
The atmosphere in the lounge immediately became lazy again.
Playing with mobile phones, chatting, lying on the sofa to rest... It's hard to imagine that this group of people were still full of fighting spirit and clamoring to win the World Championship.
Lin Cheng received the message, and moved to Chi Shengxi and shook the screen of his mobile phone, "Sister Shengxi, they are here."
"Okay! You play well, I will help you take care of your friends."
Chi Shengxi stood up, and Lin Cheng smiled and gave her a heart.
"Sorry, Sister Shengxi! I'm giving you a heart."
"Tsk!"
Chi Shengxi smiled and rolled his eyes at him, then got up and left the lounge.
Outside the stadium, Jiyeon was following her three sisters to look at the huge Baron Nash model in the glass display case.
The four beauties wearing masks gathered in front of the glass case and were quite conspicuous. Ji Shengxi went up to greet them politely.
She and Eunjeong got along very well last time, and there was not much restraint between women. Seeing that the game was still a while away, Ji Shengxi simply took them shopping.
The items sold in the surrounding shops are adjusted according to the teams playing that day. The surroundings of the teams that have games that day will be placed in the most conspicuous places.
Today is the Telecom War. On the wall opposite the door, Lin Cheng and Faker's jerseys are hung on the left and right, and below are the models of the two.
Hyomin approached curiously, "Ha! Lin Cheng's shrunken model is so cute?"
"Because Lin Cheng is cute, it has nothing to do with whether he is shrunken or not."
"Ah! You are so cute, can you stop talking to him?"
Jiyeon pretended not to hear her sister's words and stared at Lin Cheng's model with interest, "I missed it last time, I have to buy one this time."
She signaled the clerk to pack it for her.
But the clerk regretfully said that the model was sold out, and the only model left in the cabinet was used for exhibition and was not for sale.
Ji Shengxi communicated with the clerk and confirmed that there was really no stock.
"Lin Cheng's model has been selling very well recently. If you really want one, you'll probably have to wait for a while. Models of other players are available."
"Ah~~~Is Lin Cheng so popular? Is he the most popular among all the players?"
"That's not the case."
Ji Shengxi pointed to Faker's uniform on the other side, "Faker is also very popular, but because of some special reasons, the sales of Lin Cheng's model have skyrocketed recently."
"Special reasons?"
"Do you remember the last time I suggested to you to buy a model of Lin Cheng to vent your anger?"
Ji Shengxi explained with a smile on his face, "In fact, many of Lin Cheng's models have been bought back by T1 fans recently. Um~~~The main purpose is to cast a curse on him to affect his condition, so that Lin Cheng will perform poorly in today's game."
"What? Cast a curse? Witchcraft?"
"You can understand it that way."
The incident actually originated from a post posted by a T1 fan a few days ago. In the picture of the post, Lin Cheng's model was covered with red paint. The poster claimed that he used witchcraft to cast a curse on Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng's condition would definitely be affected in the semi-finals.
Inspired by this, some T1 fans bought Lin Cheng's model and began to exert mysterious power.
It's so magical.
There are many religious sects in South Korea, and many people believe in metaphysics. There are endless witchcraft incidents in the fan circle and sports circle.
In 2012, there was a witchcraft confrontation between fans in Korean football. Fans from Seongnam and Incheon invited wizards to curse the opposing players in the hope that their home team could win the League Cup.
You can not believe it, but you can not be in awe. This is what most people think.
South Korea is not like China. There can't be ghosts in horror movies.
Under the influence of various supernatural movies, firm materialists also have to maintain some necessary awe.
In fact, it's not just South Korea. Witchcraft is more popular in international football. The annual World Cup is simply a wizard confrontation competition. Many big-name stars and coaches believe that witchcraft can bring them victory.
Not to mention the distant past, there are shadows of wizards in the last two World Cups. There are even scenes of wizards performing rituals and cursing opponents in the stands at the South Africa World Cup.
Before an important match, you ask a wizard to cast a spell on the opponent. No matter if it works or not, if the opponent has hired a wizard and you don't, you will lose a lot.
Of course, there has been no such magical plot in the e-sports circle before, and this time T1 fans are obviously desperate.
Even if there is only a one in a billion chance, they are willing to try to interfere with Lin Cheng's state.
Even if the witchcraft doesn't work, if Lin Cheng sees so many people cursing him online, maybe his state will really explode under the psychological influence?
