Chapter 64 Official Announcement Reaction
Koreans are very real. As opponents, they naturally do not expect how well players from other teams will perform. Fans of other teams are mostly sarcastic towards Lin Cheng.
As for Lin Cheng's level, they didn't really care.
At this time, KT can be as disgusting as possible.
After all, as a long-established club, KT has many fans and many enemies.
Just like last year when SKT went to the World Championship, in the eyes of outsiders they were the last hope of the LCK.
However, in fact, most fans of other LCK teams want SKT to die.
Don't tell me about the co-prosperity of the divisions, cheering for the team before the game without them, and insulting and taunting them after the game for charging ahead.
SKT and Brother Li have many fans, but with more fans comes more and more hatred.
The LCK side has been agitated about the entry of a Chinese player. Although fans have different attitudes, several commentators have expressed their welcome to Lin Cheng's joining.
Roaring Emperor Continuous Caster liked KT's official INS, "Wow~~~ I never thought that I would have the opportunity to commentate on the games of foreign players in the LCK, but this is undoubtedly a positive signal. Come on, Cheng. ! I look forward to the day when I can shout for you (like it).”
The cry of the continuous caster will only appear in two situations, either the LCK finals or the World Championship.
Although it was just a scene, other commentators also expressed goodwill towards Lin Cheng after the senior continuous caster's statement.
CT: "E-sports is all about strength. I look forward to the day when Cheng will appear on the scene. KT really needs some changes now."
Yoon So-bin, a new female host who joined this season: "Come on, come on! I believe player Cheng will not disappoint KT fans."
Jin Mina, a female host who has attracted much attention since last year, also replied on INS:
"Hmm~~~ Maybe my focus is different from my predecessors, but player Cheng is really handsome. I look forward to having the opportunity to interview this player. (laughing)"
······
A few minutes after the news was released on the Korean website, KT's official Weibo in China also announced the news of Lin Cheng joining, and also posted his photo.
In the photo, Lin Cheng is wearing a white long-sleeved team uniform and standing in front of the camera, with his hands hanging down naturally, his body slender and straight, and his facial features strong and sunny. He just looks at the camera, with inexplicable confidence and calmness in his eyes.
Hello everyone, this is KT Rolster.
In the third week of the 2020 new season, we are happy to announce that top laner Lin Cheng (ID: Cheng) has chosen to start his career with KT at this point in time. Cheng will play side by side with KT in the following time.
Please continue to send your support to KT fans in the following games, thank you.
At the same time, I don’t know if it is specifically to attract the interest of Chinese fans. KT’s official blog specifically states Lin Cheng’s identity information at the back. His nationality is Chinese and he is currently on leave from Seoul National University.
As soon as this news came out, it directly detonated the domestic League of Legends circle.
"Damn it! KT always plays the big game and just found a Chinese guy? He's from Seoul National University, what a guy!"
"Is this fake? The LCK actually has a Chinese supporter? Ye Qingjie."
"Wow!! This ID is the director's friend in the double queue some time ago, right? He's also from Seoul National University."
"I've only heard voices before, but I didn't expect Brother Chengzi to be so handsome. I'm so fucked!"
"Qi-chan's corner has been poached! Doesn't this mean that he will defect to Qi-chan next year? He actually went to KT to play professionally first."
"At this moment, Nanjiang realized the power of backstabbing."
"When the factory director transferred from WE to EDG, did he ever think about the day he would be stabbed in the back? 23333."
"Hurry up and call Wanwan, Brother Chengzi has made his debut."
"There are Chinese people in the LCK? The two chefs of the senior colonel are ecstatic, go to Colonel Aite quickly."
······
Domestic netizens are extremely interested in the rare occurrence of Chinese foreign players in the LCK, and keyboard kings from all walks of life have expressed their opinions after hearing the news.
Some people expressed their expectations and blessings for Lin Cheng's career in the LCK.
Some people are angrily accusing Lin Cheng of not having a sense of national honor and actually going to South Korea to play professionally.
Some people were delighted and joked that in the future, Chinese players would have the opportunity to serve their country loyally in international competitions.
For a time, the popularity of KT's official blog increased rapidly, and it quickly reached the homepage.
KT’s official operators experienced the feeling of being on trending searches for the first time.
This hot search was not bought with money.
The LPL commentators also expressed their opinions on KT's signing. Having just won the second S-match trophy, the LPL commentators are speaking more arrogantly than before.
Miller: "Is this the Korean version of buying Chinese players if you can't beat them? The LCK will actually buy Chinese players. My youth is over!"
Wawa: "Three years after three years, three years after three years, it's been ten years since League of Legends! Do you know how I got through these ten years? In the past, we were the only ones buying Korean players, but today it's finally the LCK's turn to buy Chinese players. ”
Rita: "Although this Cheng is a pure passerby, (that's the way to think of it, right? Laughs) he was not trained by LPL, but this can be regarded as a signal. I don't know if more Chinese players will go to other competition regions in the future. ”
Ji De started to make fun of him: "Maybe one day, Koreans will lose confidence in League of Legends and e-sports, because the LPL's rule continues to this day, but please don't forget that they have Cheng, the first Chinese foreign aid in the history of LCK. (grin)"
Ze Yuan was the first to repost Ji De's fancy work, "Good work."
Ji De: "What do you think, Colonel?"
Ze Yuan: "I heard that Cheng was recruited by Coach Hirai for a trial. Although I haven't paid attention to this player before, I believe there must be a reason why Hirai is so optimistic about him. Come on, Lin Cheng! Looking forward to your performance."
Ji De joked: "If we remember correctly, Coach Hirai broke your prediction of 100% in S8, and you still believe in him so much?"
Ze Yuan: (covering his face and crying)
Corgi also reposted this Weibo, "If KT plays against GEN·G, who will you support, Colonel?"
Ze Yuan: "Of course I still support GEN·G."
·······
Lin Cheng didn't know what kind of craze KT's Weibo had caused in China. He was on the phone at the moment.
"Mom, how did you know I went to play professionally?"
"You're still asking? If your cousin hadn't seen the news and called me, I would still be in the dark. Why didn't you tell me about your suspension of school?"
Lin Cheng apologized with a smile, "Oh! Don't I know your personality? Mom, you and Dad will definitely support me, right?"
Mother Lin snorted, "Actually, we don't object to you playing games..."
"That's not called playing games, that's e-sports." Lin Cheng corrected.
"It's the same, I don't care what you do."
Mother Lin didn't care at all, "Anyway, you don't go to school this year, there's just one important thing you must do for me."
"What's that?"
"Go home next year and bring back a girlfriend."
Lin Cheng: "..."
This important thing of yours is really 'important'!
