Chapter 127 Oh dear, why am I ranked after Daipute?! [Requesting monthly votes]
Lee Doo-hwan clicked on the link sent by Koo Sung-bin and watched it carefully while enjoying the experience.
To be honest, he had always known that the zombies and Huan Xiaojiang didn't get along.
When IG brought LPL its first S championship, Lee Doo-hwan was a substitute.
So naturally, many people think he's a slacker!
In addition, Jiang Chenglu was someone that IG cultivated themselves, so after winning the championship, under Su Xiaoluo's arrangement, the team's operations naturally focused more on marketing for Jiang Chenglu!
This has led to the fan groups that were attracted to Lee Doo-hwan increasingly disregarding him.
What four-time champion? One championship he won by chance, and three ancient championships with no real value—how can he compare to my brother, the world's number one top laner?!
This might sound absurd in other places.
But in a region where a champion can market a team as the world's number one team, it's not so surprising.
But despite the animosity between the two fan groups, Lee Doo-hwan had no idea that their relationship could be this tense!
"Is this even something a human being would do?"
After reading the whole story and seeing the photo of Timely Rain throwing his hands up and covering his head, being beaten by Han Shih-hwan and not knowing how to fight back.
Even Lee Doo-hwan was so excited that he sat up in bed!
"Cough cough cough~"
As Lee Doo-hwan made his movements out of excitement, Yoon Soo-bin's violent coughing suddenly rang out in the room.
"Ahem~ Oppa~ You're so annoying~"
Seeing Yoon Soo-bin's eyes filled with tears from choking, Lee Doo-hwan smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, it's all my fault for being too imposing!"
After briefly reassuring the other party, Lee Doo-hwan reached out and patted Yoon Soo-bin's head to indicate that she could continue to try.
As he leaned back on the bed, he couldn't help but sigh.
Zombies, you zombies, why did you go and mess with Huan Xiaojiang and his gang?!
Not only did they provoke them, but they also provoked the Korean version!!!
Aren't you guys pushing your king into a fire pit?
No matter what the Chinese Huan Xiaojiang does, it's all within the bounds of reason and law. But the Korean Huan Xiaojiang, well, his motto is: if you can take action, don't talk!
The Corpse King has been captured!!!
This event added a unique touch to the otherwise dull and uneventful period leading up to the World Championship!
Many people initially thought the days leading up to the World Championship would be incredibly agonizing, but unexpectedly, the world's number one top laner resolutely chose to sacrifice his own interests for the greater good!
What magnanimity!
Suddenly I understand why IG doesn't make it to Worlds—they're just trying to bring joy to everyone!
Brothers, the Corpse King has such a grand vision, and I've been constantly criticizing him. Now that I think about it, I'm such a jerk!!!
I'll punish myself later with a serving of fried chicken, a cola, and eel rice. A proper apology to the Corpse King!
[Is Huan Xiaojiang's doing this a good thing? Is he going to get revenge on Huan Chu?!]
-
Are you looking down on my brother Huan, or are you overestimating zombies?
My Huan-ge has been playing in the LCK for so many years, what storms hasn't he seen!
Are we really going to rely on these zombies who are just keyboard warriors?!
Brothers, we've finally seen the finale of Train to Busan that we've been waiting for! Long live humanity!!!
Many people are joking that the evil deeds committed by zombies have now all turned into boomerangs, and not many people will feel any sympathy for them!
Although in principle this kind of thing is definitely wrong, if it happened in China, it would definitely get you invited for tea.
However, Jiang Chenglu is not Chinese, and this incident did not happen in China.
It's their own family matter; as an outsider, you can only watch helplessly!
As the saying goes, you can't possibly use the sword of the previous dynasty to behead officials of the current dynasty, can you?
Because this matter was so popular, the guys on the Anti-Fighting Forum included it in their self-written history of the alliance.
The last thing recorded in the League of Legends history on the Tieba forum was Huan Xiaojiang beating up Pan Hui and subduing the Green Hat Dragon with Hui Hui a few months ago!
Since Huan Xiaojiang was the instigator of both incidents, when the news reached the ears of the older generation of e-sports players, they couldn't help but sigh.
"I am old and frail, but the young players are still as spirited as ever!!!"
Time is like the wind; it cannot be grasped or held onto!
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
After confirming that everything was alright, Lee Doo-hwan and his group finally reached the day when they could leave the hotel.
Looking at the large bed where he had been diligently studying foreign languages with Yoon Soo-bin all this time, Lee Doo-hwan suddenly felt a pang of reluctance to part with it.
"How about we try again?"
Yoon Soo-bin approached with a smile.
After being trained by Lee Doo-hwan for some time, this woman has become quite adept at handling things. Sometimes, just a glance from Lee Doo-hwan is enough for her to obediently straighten herself out.
This is enough to demonstrate the power of Traditional Chinese Medicine!
Seeing that Yoon Soo-bin was about to squat down as she spoke, Lee Doo-hwan quickly reached out and pulled her up.
"Forget it, we've already been delayed for a long time. If we make everyone wait for another hour or so, I'll really feel bad."
"You can't blame me, you're just too amazing!" Yoon Soo-bin said with a grin.
After quickly packing their things, the two left the hotel.
Outside the hotel, everyone else had already gathered.
The moment they saw Lee Doo-hwan walk out of the hotel, Koo Sung-bin and Kim Gong immediately started shouting "Big Brother!" enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, the ruler, possessing the purest, unadulterated physique of the 80s generation, had already stepped onto the stairs and jogged towards Lee Doo-hwan.
"Brother Douhuan, you've had a tough time these past few days. Let me help you with your luggage."
Lee Doo-hwan and Yoon Soo-bin lived together for half a month; it would be impossible for nothing to have happened.
If that happens, those boring two weeks will likely be exceptionally tiring!
"Jae-hyuk." Facing the approaching ruler, Lee Doo-hwan slowly spoke, "Hyung, it's strange, why did you..."
Brother, this is so————
"Um—you're welcome!"
Upon hearing the question, Chizi quickly replied, "Because Brother Chanrong said that seeing you is the same as seeing him, and that I must respect you."
After saying that, Ruler added, "Of course, even if Chan-young doesn't confess, I will still respect Doo-hwan wholeheartedly and will never have any other thoughts!"
"Did he really say that?" Lee Doo-hwan's lips involuntarily curled into a smile.
"That's exactly what Chan-young hyung said!"
"I really don't understand this guy!" Lee Doo-hwan smiled, then glanced at the ruler again.
To be honest, this was the first time he had ever felt a little envious of Sect Leader An!
Although Koo Sung-bin could do that if he wanted to.
But in Lee Doo-hwan's heart, he considered Koo Sung-bin to be on the same level as himself. It was just that Koo Sung-bin kept calling him "big brother" and treating him as a follower.
She glanced at Chizi, who picked up her and Yoon Soo-bin's luggage and started walking down the steps, and then at Lee Sang-ho, the assistant who had just greeted her and stood there without making a move.
Lee Doo-hwan shook his head inwardly.
The blow was too light!
Otherwise, they wouldn't lack even this basic discernment!
Taking Yoon Soo-bin's hand, Lee Doo-hwan walked down the steps in front of the hotel.
As he walked down the steps, people from other teams, such as Xu Xiu from DWG and Deft from DRX, started shouting.
"Dou-hwan, bro!"
"Dou-hwan hyung, long time no see!"
Lee Doo-hwan nodded in response to the greetings from his juniors.
All of this, every single moment that happened, was captured by the fans' eyes and their cameras.
Fans know exactly when the contestants will arrive and what time their flights will be, so naturally, many people also know about quarantine hotels and are already waiting there in advance.
However, due to special circumstances and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lee Doo-hwan and his team, despite their gratitude, could only wave and greet the fans from a distance.
After greeting the fans, Lee Doo-hwan and his group got into the car and headed to the hotel that Riot Games had prepared for them.
After arriving at the hotel and putting his things away, Lee Doo-hwan planned to treat Lee Sang-hyeok and the others to a good meal so they could experience Chinese cuisine!
"Oppa~ This is the best Chinese food, I've eaten it countless times already ————"
At that moment, Yoon Soo-bin suddenly blurted out this sentence.
Lee Doo-hwan didn't react immediately upon hearing this.
However, when he saw Yoon Soo-bin's meaningful look and her deliberately sticking out her tongue, he immediately understood what she meant.
Looking at Yoon Soo-bin, who is sweet and cute on camera but fiery in front of her.
Even Lee Doo-hwan, who knew Yoon Soo-bin very well and was intimately familiar with her, couldn't help but sigh in surprise at the stark contrast.
"hello!!!"
Faced with Lee Doo-hwan's praise, Yoon Soo-bin not only didn't mind, but also lay down on the bed and struck an extremely alluring pose.
Looking at her long, beautiful legs encased in harem stockings, and those incredibly alluring eyes, how could Lee Doo-hwan possibly tolerate her behavior?
After bringing glory to the country—
Seeing that it was getting late, Lee Doo-hwan decided to invite the others to dinner.
Before we could even take any action, our two old friends called.
One of these two is Peanut, who currently plays for LGD and just led LGD to victory against IG in the gauntlet, securing the fourth ticket to the World Championship.
Another one is Kkoma, the former SKT three-time world champion coach who is now making money with VG!
After learning that the other party was outside the hotel, Lee Doo-hwan, who had changed his clothes, looked at Yoon Soo-bin, who was lying lazily on the bed and was obviously in high spirits. After saying "You can wipe yourself off yourself", he called Lee Sang-hyeok and the others to find Peanut and Kkoma together.
Upon meeting, Peanut greeted everyone with a cheerful smile.
"Doo-hwan hyung, Sang-hyuk hyung, Hyuk-kyu hyung, Sung-bin hyung————"
Although Peanut has been playing professionally for many years, he is a veteran in terms of the game.
But in front of Lee Doo-hwan and the others, he will always be the younger brother.
This wouldn't have been a big deal, but Peanut called out "Deft" first, and then "Gu Shengbin".
This made Gu Shengbin feel very awkward, so he stepped forward and walked up to Xiao Huasheng to ask him a question.
"Wanghuh~ Why didn't you call me first, then call out to that basket, Depot!"
Little Peanut:
He was completely bewildered when he saw Gu Shengbin suddenly ask him this question.
How am I supposed to know?!
He suspected that Koo Sung-bin had just finished his hotel quarantine, which might have caused him mental health issues, especially since he was in the LPL.
I had heard about that incident back then.
"Is this question important?" Little Peanut couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's important, because it concerns who holds a higher or lower position in your heart, me or Daiput!" Gu Shengbin said very firmly.
Damn it, I absolutely cannot accept being ranked after Deputy!
Faced with this question, Peanut, who had already played in the LPL for some time and learned a great deal about the essence of Chinese football, quickly spoke up.
"Whether it's Sungbin or Hyukyu, they both hold the same weight in my heart. Both of them are my seniors!"
If I had to put it into perspective, my two older brothers are about equal in terms of popularity!
Peanut thought that after she had dealt with the matter so perfunctorily, it would be over.
But unexpectedly—
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shengbin said with a competitive look on his face.
"Which of us is fifth?!"
Little Peanut:
He was once again at a loss for words because of Koo Sungbin, and looked for help in the direction of Lee Doo-hwan, who was watching the show from the side, and Lee Sang-hyeok, who was secretly enjoying himself.
"Brother Dou Huan—" Little Peanut said, sounding aggrieved.
In his mind, Gu Shengbin must have had a mental breakdown, which was naturally beyond his ability to handle. "Alright, Shengbin, everyone's hungry. Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating!"
At Lee Doo-hwan's urging, Koo Sung-bin did not press Peanut about the matter further.
It was a rare opportunity for old friends to meet, and the group naturally had a very pleasant chat.
"Sang-hyeok, it's rare for you to get together with our coach. How about you treat us to dinner later?"
While Lee Sang-hyeok was happily reminiscing with Kkoma, smiling broadly as they talked about the past, Lee Doo-hwan inappropriately chimed in with this remark.
next second!
Just moments ago, Lee Sang-hyeok was all smiles, but now he's unleashed the ultimate art of changing his expression. The sheer speed of his transformation is astonishing, even to Lee Doo-hwan, who can only marvel at what a top-tier professional player truly is.
This is absolutely amazing!!!
"Dou Huan, we have come to your hometown. You should demonstrate the hospitality and friendliness of your Chinese people!"
For Lee Sang-hyeok, who had studied Chinese for a period of time, he found a very good reason to pass the buck to Lee Doo-hwan.
"How could I let you treat me? I'll pay!" Kkoma said with a smile. He was very happy to see his students again.
Of course, the main reason is that the VG players are just too bad.
-
The saying goes, "Without comparison, there is no difference!"
The people at VG start complaining and grumbling as soon as you increase their training volume even slightly, or some even give up entirely.
This would be almost impossible in SKT, or more accurately, in LCK!
For example, there was Bae Jun-sik, who wanted to be a high-flyer, and Lee Jae-wan, who still has mental health issues!
Want to jump off a building?
Even after the jump, we have to come back and continue training!
Under Lee Doo-hwan's constant brainwashing, Lee Sang-hyeok couldn't resist and agreed without really understanding what was going on.
After chatting briefly and discussing what to eat, the group headed to a nearby Haidilao restaurant for hot pot.
He encountered many fans along the way, and Lee Sang-hyeok was very polite, using the Chinese he had learned in his spare time to greet them.
After arriving at Haidilao, the group found a place to sit down, chatting about their daily lives while ordering food—
thing.
"Just order something simple, I can't eat too much at night."
Upon hearing Kkoma's words, Lee Doo-hwan coughed lightly and then said, "Sang-hyeok is paying the bill."
"Um!?"
Upon hearing this, Kkoma, who had just been complaining about ordering less food, suddenly brightened up.
"Then let's order this, this, and this one too. There are a lot of us, and it won't be enough to eat if we don't order one!"
As Kkoma's voice rang out, Lee Sang-hyeok's eyes widened, his pupils became somewhat unfocused, and he even had difficulty breathing.
At this moment, he felt that the pressure he was under was even stronger than during previous world championships!
After the food was brought over by the waiter, Lee Doo-hwan and his group ate while discussing some of the teams in this World Championship.
"Of the four LPL teams this year, the other junglers are alright, but we need to be careful with JD Gaming's jungler, Kanavi; he's very aggressive!"
Upon hearing Kkoma's words, Peanut, currently the jungler for LGD and having faced off against them, spoke up, "This—"
Humans are indeed very aggressive, how should I describe it?
Just as Peanut was trying to find a more fitting adjective, Lee Doo-hwan's voice slowly rang out.
"Food possessiveness!!!"
One sentence made Peanut, who couldn't find a good adjective, suddenly realize the truth. He then slapped his thigh and chimed in.
"Yes, yes, Brother Douhuan is right, this guy is a possessive of his food."
If I invade his group of six birds, he will have no choice but to lead his teammates to recover the losses!
If we meet again in a later match, Doo-hwan, you'd better be careful.
"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it." Lee Doo-hwan smiled calmly. "What about the other junglers?"
"The junglers on other teams are just average. They're not particularly skilled, and they don't have any unique characteristics either," Kkoma commented.
Amidst laughter and conversation, the waiter brought over the food, and the group enjoyed their meal immensely, except for Lee Sang-hyeok, whose expression remained very serious.
Seeing his expression, Lee Doo-hwan deliberately leaned closer and asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Sang-hyeok, why do you seem a little unhappy? It's rare for everyone to get together for a meal, why don't you smile!"
Looking at Lee Doo-hwan's smiling face, even though the two had known each other for so long, Lee Sang-hyeok still couldn't resist the smugness emanating from Lee Doo-hwan!
"Doo-hwan, this is the last time I'll indulge you like this!!!"
