016 You're Neo? ? ?
The following day, Monday.
Countless students stepped into the school gate, chatting and laughing.
Some people are discussing the story of the top three players battling it out last night.
Some people are discussing today's updated S3 preseason.
This update is quite significant, with items such as Natural Force, Moonblade, and Killer Armor being removed.
The Black Cleaver has undergone a major overhaul. While its attack damage, health, and cooldown reduction stats are now perfect, its armor reduction effect can be stacked multiple times, turning the game into a Black Cleaver meta.
The new season and the new experience have injected new vitality into League of Legends.
Among a group of students in school uniforms, a man in a casual suit stood out from the crowd.
It was Kkoma, the manager and coach of SKT.
Kkoma stood at the school gate, looking around.
He was truly at his wit's end.
Ever since that training match ended and Kkoma learned that Neo and Deft were high school students, and that they came from Mapo High School like Faker, he hasn't stopped making moves.
He dreams of bringing all the top three teams to SKT, which would surely create an enduring dynasty!
However, his efforts over many days yielded no results.
Since that day, Lee Sang-hyeok has been out of contact, turning into a ruthless monster.
Kim Hyuk-kyu can add friends easily, but once added, there's no conversation at all. When asked, he just says, "I listen to Brother Zhixing," showing no independent thought whatsoever!
Needless to say, Li Zhixing could never add anyone as a friend in the game. He finally managed to get Mata's phone number after three attempts, only to be immediately disconnected with a simple "not interested," the call lasting less than five seconds.
Why are these three people so difficult to deal with?
That day, the training match was crowded and noisy, and there were always gossips spreading rumors.
It's no secret in the professional gaming world that all three of the top three players in the entire server come from Mapo High School.
Even if major clubs already have top-tier teams, seeing such a rare trio, they certainly wouldn't mind bringing out a second team as well.
Although it's called the second team, it won't lack resources at all. The OGN region has only just been established and the rules are not yet perfect. As long as the strength allows, even the second team can play in the top league.
With all its competitors poised to launch their attacks, Kkoma needs to act even faster!
Kkoma craned his neck and looked around, finally spotting a familiar figure!
A bespectacled boy with messy hair was walking listlessly toward the school gate with his head down.
Sang-hyeok was extremely sleepy and very annoyed at the moment!
The fact that he was overtaken by a last-minute, decisive blow last night kept him up most of the night!
How could they be overtaken in the last game?
Lee Sang-hyeok's mind was still replaying the scenes from the final game.
He believed that his performance in the last game was perfect, and he almost single-handedly broke through the mid lane.
But with just one careless move, the game quickly veered into defeat.
It's currently the preseason, so ranked points are meaningless. Lee Sang-hyeok doesn't even want to play the game; he just wants to wait for Neo's video update at noon before checking out his strategy.
He wanted to see how the other side pulled off that play!
Lee Sang-hyeok really enjoys watching Neo's videos, because he's often the background character in them...
Watching these videos as a backdrop allows you to learn even more.
In addition, Neo's last words yesterday also left Lee Sang-hyeok with a lingering grudge.
"The future is yours, Sang-hyeok."
How did Neo know his name?
In the entire gaming world, the only players who probably know his name are from the SKT club.
Is Neo a player for SKT?
But that doesn't make sense. Neo was clearly on the other side when we went for the tryout that day.
And even if he knew his own name, there was no need for him to call it out specifically...
Damn it, is this guy crazy? Do I even know him?
Lee Sang-hyeok couldn't help but complain in his heart. When he looked up, he saw a man in a suit standing in front of him.
"Huh?" Lee Sang-hyeok was a little surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"We'd like to invite you to join our team, Sang-hyeok."
Kkoma chuckled softly, "If you agree, we can sign the contract today!"
Lee Sang-hyeok ignored the recruitment pitch and asked, "Is Neo one of yours? How does he know my name?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Kkoma's expression turned strange.
"What's wrong?" Lee Sang-hyeok asked.
Kkoma thought for a moment, then said, "Didn't you know? Neo and Deft went to the same school as you..."
Lee Sang-hyeok was stunned when he heard this.
......
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Mapo Middle School, another person was being harassed.
Deft frowned as he looked at Mata, who had dark circles under his eyes, wondering what the newcomer's intentions were.
"Hekkyu, are you really not planning to join our MVP?" Mata earnestly advised.
The world only knows Neo's strength, how he led his team to duo queue and take the top two spots.
Little did people know that Deft, ranked second, was also exceptionally talented. Even without Neo, he would have been the only AD player in the top ten of the entire server.
As the highest-ranked support player, Mata believes that Deft is definitely a better player than his teammate imp.
"I'll listen to Brother Zhixing."
Kim Hyuk-kyu waved his hand, annoyed by the man's attempts to recruit him. "If you want to find someone, go find Zhi-xing, don't look for me."
It must be said that Mata is indeed a good support player. But MVP is not the team Kim Hyuk-kyu wants; he only wants to be on the same team as Lee Ji-hyung.
Mata smiled helplessly.
If I can handle Li Zhixing, then I won't need to come to you!
Mata's idea was simple: target people's weaknesses.
If we can recruit Deft, the probability of recruiting Neo will naturally be greater.
But this child isn't fooled at all!
The two walked to the gate of Mapo Middle School as they talked.
At this moment, two figures beside them caught their attention.
Kim Hyuk-kyu saw Lee Sang-hyeok.
He knew, of course, that this person was the opponent with whom he had fought all day.
This person looks listless; they must have been feeling unwell and couldn't sleep last night...
Lee Sang-hyeok also noticed Kim Hyuk-kyu; he did have some recollection of the man.
Is he the one who goes home with Brother Zhixing every day?
Mata noticed Kkoma, and the two exchanged a glance, recognizing each other.
The two teams have played many training matches together, so they naturally know each other.
The two looked at the boy in front of them again.
Mata had never seen Hide on bush before, but seeing the scene before him, he knew it was this messy-haired boy.
Kkoma only knew the names of Lee Ji-hyung and Kim Hyuk-kyu, but didn't know what they looked like, so he had to keep them hidden and not say anything!
But Kkoma isn't stupid either.
He saw that Mata had come all the way just to talk to this handsome young man, and he knew without a doubt that the person in front of him must be one of the two!
But he dared not speak at that moment, because he knew that Mata had never seen Hide on Bush either...
Their gazes darted left and right, and the atmosphere was eerily silent.
it is more than words.
Of the four people, only Lee Sang-hyeok looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.
What's wrong with these people? They don't even say a word when they meet.
However, something unusual must be going on.
Since the two newcomers know Kkoma, they must be from the professional scene as well.
And this handsome student in front of me was wearing a Mapo school uniform...
Neo and Deft were his classmates...
Lee Sang-hyeok was suddenly startled by this and said to Kim Hyuk-kyu, "You're Neo???"
Kim Hyuk-kyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "Huh?"
