Chapter 293: Are You Still Hanging Around Even in the Finals?

Saturday, April 25, sunny.

"Well, I went to bed so early last night, why do I still feel a little sleepy?"

Rubbing his eyes, Lin Cheng turned over and climbed up with difficulty.

After shaking his dizzy head, Lin Cheng sat by the bed for a long time before he came to his senses, yawning and touching the bathroom.

Looking at the handsome face in the mirror, Lin Cheng patted his cheeks with cold water.

"Come on! Today is the final."

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the whole team took the bus to today's competition venue LOL PARK.

Jongno District, Seoul.

Looking up at the angular Gran Hancheng Building, the glass wall reflected the sunlight, making Lin Cheng squint slightly.

"I really miss the feeling of playing here."

Kuro complained: "You only played two games here, why are you so emotional?"

Lin Cheng retorted: "It's three games. I played three games here before switching to online games."

"Okay, don't worry about these things, hurry up."

Lin Cheng then followed his teammates to the third floor from the entrance.

Passing by the legendary hall full of player posters, he couldn't help but look at the blank wall behind it.

When he first came here, Lin Cheng told Kuro that he wanted to carve his name here.

So, let's start my legendary journey with this championship.

······

As LCK has held the title of "No. 1 Division" for a long time, today's finals are naturally not lacking in attention.

Before the game, the commentary seats of various language streams gave their own predictions of the results.

The Korean stream's vote showed a one-sided trend.

8:2.

Even though KT has already double-killed its mortal enemy in the regular season this season, KT is still the unpopular side.

Only Pawn, who once played for KT, and the new host of the analysis desk, Yin Subin, believed that KT could beat T1. The other guests and commentators were all optimistic that T1 would win the ninth league championship trophy in team history.

There is no way, T1 will always be looked up to in BO5.

Although T1 was double-killed by KT in the regular season, BO5 can be said to be another game to a large extent.

Last spring, SKT was double-killed by GRF in the regular season, but this did not prevent them from easily sweeping their opponents 3:0 in the final.

The voting for the English stream was completely opposite to that of the Korean stream.

Except for Mr. Bang, a famous SKT player who served as a temporary guest, who was optimistic about T1, all other guests and English stream commentators, including Core JJ, were optimistic that KT would win the championship in the end.

Even the former SKT captain, Capered, was more optimistic about KT.

This season, KT and Lin Cheng have gained a large number of fans in the English stream broadcast.

Although North American and some European teams played poorly and dragged their time, it did not prevent their audience from liking KT's entertaining style of play.

The voting on the Chinese side was much more humane.

After Ze Yuan predicted that Li Ge would win the nine-time championship, other LPL commentators turned to support their compatriot Lin Cheng and were optimistic about KT's successful coronation.

At 4:30 pm, half an hour before the game was about to start, Lin Cheng received a bit of a weird news in the lounge.

In this game, KT's opponent, T1, did not arrive at the venue on time. Although it did not affect the preparation process of the game, Riot officials still decided to punish T1.

The punishment is that T1 will be fined two BAN positions in the first round of BP in the first game of BO5.

"Late? Such a low-level mistake?"

Kang Dongxun confirmed Lin Cheng's doubts.

"Wow! There is such a good thing?"

Aiming was very happy. Lin Cheng alone could eat a lot of fixed BAN positions. The impact of two fewer BANs on the opponent was really too great.

Lin Cheng waved his hands, "No, no, we can't take advantage of this."

The teammates all looked over.

This is a penalty from Riot, you guys are saying it as if we are playing tricks on you.

Lin Cheng had a good reason, "Think about it, we don't need the opponent to give up the BAN position because of our strength, but nothing is absolute. What if the opponent has two fewer BAN positions and we still lose the first game? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Aiming nodded, "It's really embarrassing, what should we do?"

"I'll tell you..."

As the opening ceremony approached, the two teams of players waited at the entrance of the passageway under the prompting of the staff.

"Yohoo! Park Sung-jin, your makeup is good today."

"Really? We were late today and the makeup artist was very fast. I was worried that it wouldn't look good on camera."

"You only have one BAN position in the first round, what are you going to BAN?"

"I don't know, you should ask the coach."

Except for the top laner, both sides are veteran players. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they know each other and chat with each other.

Through the conversation between the players, it is easy to see the personality of the T1 players.

Teddy is a very active person, and is familiar with everyone. He even told Lin Cheng that he plays Fiora very well and asked to play a game of solo when he is free.

Faker is the player who has played T1 for the longest time, but he is obviously not as open as Teddy. He only greeted KT players briefly, and only Kuro could talk to him for a while.

Canna was also very interesting, asking Lin Cheng if he could choose a tank hero today, so that everyone could play together and not fight so fiercely.

Lin Cheng just laughed.

No way, brother! You are still playing in the finals?

In Huya Live, today's commentators are the ace duo of Zeyuan and Jide.

Jide: "Here we go! Who will sit on the LCK throne in the spring of 2020? We are about to bring you the finals of the LCK Spring Split, with T1 and KT as the opponents. This is also the third news agency war this year."

Zeyuan: "Today's game can be said to be full of highlights. The big devil Faker is attacking the LCK league championship for the ninth time. If he wins today, this will be his second time to achieve three consecutive LCK league championships. It is really a very scary thing."

Jide: "It is worth mentioning that this is also the first season of Orange Brother's debut in KT. I believe this will never be the last time Orange Brother stands on the stage of the finals.

But in the first year, he will challenge the most legendary player in the League of Legends in the finals. I am afraid that it is also stressful for Orange Brother today."

Ze Yuan: "It's OK! After all, we are not the opposing players. Many new players who claimed to be genius mid laners would not play the game when they saw the ID of the opposing mid laner when facing SKT. Brother Orange doesn't have to worry about the pressure from the opposing ID."

Ji Ji laughed and joked: "Kuro said that you can just let me operate in the top lane, and leave the mid lane to me. I will definitely take Faker with me."

"You are too much. What do you mean by together? Kuro's performance this season is really outstanding."

Ze Yuan has a reason: "And after all, this KT is not like Griffin last year, which is full of rookies. The big brothers in the team are very experienced, and there should not be a one-sided situation like last year's finals."

Ji Ji: "Here we go! The opening ceremony is about to begin, let's hand the screen to the director."
