Chapter 500: Countdown to Faker's Substitution?

In mid-July, the fifth week of LCK started.

DWG defeated DYN 2:0 on the first day of the game, and the number of wins reached 8 games, the same as KT.

The next day, KT easily defeated its arch-rival T1 2:0 in the fourth Telecom War this year, giving the opponent two consecutive defeats and completing a sweep of all opponents in the first round.

Just like a speed race, DWG defeated AFS 2:0 in the second round of the fifth week the next day, once again reaching the same number of wins as KT.

But KT defeated Sandbox 2:0 in the backhand, completing a double kill of Sandbox in the summer season, and ruthlessly rejected DWG's approach.

The two teams raced wildly, and for a while, they were the most popular.

However, T1, who had just lost the Telecom War, was miserable. They immediately lost to DYN 0:2.

You know, T1 had lost to DYN once before facing KT. After entering the second round and being double-killed by the opponent, T1 experienced three consecutive losses for the first time this season.

What's worse is that after the match against DYN, there was another battle against the news agencies.

Although many T1 fans are cursing the LCK schedule, it is foreseeable that T1's four-game losing streak is just around the corner.

They can't even beat the newly promoted DYN, how can they beat KT in this state?

The team's performance during this period is hard to satisfy people, and the first person to be blamed for T1 is Li Ge in the middle lane.

Faker's state in the summer season is indeed very unstable, with highlights and mistakes, but mistakes are often magnified.

In addition, it is difficult for T1 to gain an advantage in the early stage this year, and it can only drag the late stage to fight team battles. In this case, a key mistake often loses key resources such as the dragon.

Therefore, the scene of Li Ge getting lost and being caught and ruining the game will hurt the hearts of some fans.

When Lin Cheng was live streaming at home on the weekend, he was asked by fans in the live streaming room about his opinion on Li Ge's substitute.

At that time, he was stunned, "Who said Li Ge should be a substitute?"

It turned out that the lineup of T1's internal training game had been exposed by fans two days ago.

Many people have noticed that Faker is now playing alone in the team's training match, while none of his teammates are online, and Clozer, T1's young midfielder, has also disappeared.

In other words, Faker has been excluded from the training match lineup.

You know, Clozer is not yet at the age required by the LCK to play.

Clozer, who will turn 17 at the end of the month, cannot play at least this month, and this month T1 has a telecom war with KT to play.

Even though everyone knows that T1's current win rate against KT is less than 20%, what does it mean that you don't let Faker play in the training match in advance and still want him to play in the game?

Although there is no clear arrangement within the team, the audience who have experienced S8 have guessed that Faker may usher in another substitute in his career.

After finding out the whole story, Lin Cheng said: "I can't say anything about other clubs. Let's see the effect of the substitution. If their new midfielder is really capable, there is nothing to say."

While maintaining neutrality, Lin Cheng went to the Korean Internet forum to take a look.

As a result, there has been a lot of rumors on the Korean Internet.

"Faker is in such a bad state! He is no longer a top mid laner in LCK."

"Too many mistakes! Almost all the games we lost were caused by Faker's major mistakes. He should go off the court to make some adjustments."

"Faker is old! He should give way to the youngsters."

"In the past, people laughed at Kuro for not knowing how to play games when he met Faker. I didn't expect Faker to be even worse now."

"Kuro is obviously two years older, why is Faker in a worse state now?"

"Faker is just too hard on himself. He should be more relaxed."

In addition to the disruptions from KT fans and fans of other teams, a large part of these voices came from T1 fans.

There are voices blaming Faker's performance, and naturally there are voices defending him.

"Why blame Faker? These teammates are more outrageous than each other."

"Kuro made a lot of mistakes, but his teammates can cover for him. What kind of rotten fish and shrimp are Faker's teammates?"

"He just wanted to find a chance to win the game. It's not his fault if he was caught."

"Cuzz is like a clown in the jungle, Effort keeps getting lost and giving away, and Teddy is the commander. They are the cancer."

"Without Faker, we can only watch the performance of four clowns."

"Without Faker, will anyone still pay attention to this team?"

Like many well-known players, Li Ge is humble, but it doesn't mean that his fans are humble.

As Li Ge said, his fans have helped him win many fights, but what Li Ge could hardly have predicted is that after winning the fight with the outside world, his fans will turn their spearheads to the team.

Many of Li Ge's former and current teammates have been attacked by Li Ge's fans, and even Kka has been insulted by Li Ge's fans.

This has led to constant conflicts between T1's team fans and Li Ge's fans, and they often fight online.

This time is no exception, because of the speculation that Li Ge will be a substitute, the team fans and the sole fan started fighting again.

T1's poor performance during this period is a problem for the entire team, but the fans just want to find someone to take the blame. The team fans pushed Li Ge to take the blame, while Li Ge's fans put the blame on his teammates.

Both sides tried to reason at first, but later they started to greet each other in a gentle and easy-going manner.

Although the T1 club did not express its attitude, it released a clip of Clozer's operations on its official social account, and the meaning was already quite clear.

T1 fans said that they have begun to look forward to the performance of the genius mid-lane Clozer.

Li Ge's fans immediately came to mess up the scene and cut a clip of Clozer being beaten up by a group of LCK players in RANK and posted it.

Although Lin Cheng is not a mid-lane player, it is Lin Cheng who beat Clozer the most times in these clips.

Because Clozer is particularly stubborn and likes operations, and he always plays heroes such as Irelia, Akali, and Sylas who have to lead the line in the side lane in the mid-to-late game, so every time he meets Lin Cheng, he will be operated by Lin Cheng in the side lane.

Lin Cheng happily liked this video, eating melons and eating himself.

It's not that he stands on the side of Li Ge's fans, but simply thinks that his operation of beating Clozer is very cool.

In fact, in the final analysis, the main reason for the outbreak of this incident is that T1 has played too badly recently.

If the record is good, T1 fans will naturally not want to change players, they don't care who plays.

But now the record is not good, T1 fans want the team to change, and Li Ge, who is always in the spotlight, is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

And Li Ge's fans are eager for Clozer to play and the team to explode, T1 will directly dive to the bottom, so that they can recognize who is the core of T1.

Now, the relationship between the two sides has become worse.

It is difficult for Lin Cheng to comment on this situation. He can only wait and see how Clozer performs when he plays.

He just eats melons with peace of mind and sees the quality of the genius mid-lane Clozer.

Seeing that there are actually T1 fans who drag Lin Cheng out for comparison, hoping that Clozer has the strength of Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng said in the live broadcast room, haha.

Geniuses like Cheng Ge are rare in a century. Does T1 really think it is the Huangpu of e-sports? Just pick out anyone and they are the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix?

It is not his business, so Lin Cheng can't help but sigh a little.

Gods also get old.

If one day my form also declines, will I encounter the same scene?

Of course, Li Ge will not necessarily be a substitute.

If Li Ge returns to his form and leads T1 to end KT's winning streak at the end of the month, there will definitely be no reason for him to be replaced.

But now T1 will go head to head against KT?

Unless Lin Cheng commits a crazy crime, not only KT will not know how to lose.

However, Lin Cheng originally discussed the mid-top lane switch strategy with Kuro, at least he is not going to use it in the next game.

If he switches to the mid lane and beats Li Ge, and sends Li Ge to the bench, won't he be attacked by Faker fans?
