LPL History

Chapter 101: A Bilingual Soul-Snatching Post on the Public Screen; The School Bell Rings, Burying Korea.

Korean-language live stream.

When the director switched the camera to the mid lane and saw RapidStar's Twisted Fate pressing Zhou Li's Talon under the tower, the commentators immediately went wild!
"Oh my god! What am I seeing! RapidStar is completely dominating Lion under the tower!"

Quan Yongjun's roar instantly brought a joyful atmosphere to the live broadcast room.

Today, he was paired with another male commentator named Kim Jae-sik, not Lee Hyun-kyung.

Because Lee Hyun-kyung traveled a thousand miles to see him off.

Kim Jae-sik was also inexplicably excited at this moment, and shouted:

"Wow, RapidStar! Before the match, our biggest concern was whether he could withstand the pressure against Lion in the mid lane, but now it seems that RapidStar has worked very hard to improve himself in just one month! To be honest, I really didn't expect to see this before the match!"

Quan Yongjun nodded and said with a smile:

"There's another reason. Does Lion seem a bit too arrogant? He actually picked Talon for mid lane."

Kim Jae-sik spoke in a sarcastic tone:

"Ah, he's still young after all. It feels like everything Lion has achieved so easily. He's only played a few games, and everyone's calling him the world's best mid laner. With all this hype, it's no wonder he's having mental issues."

The two chatted back and forth, getting more and more excited as they talked. Kim Jae-sik continued:
"Let's take a look at the mid lane... Hmm, our RapidStar's pressure is very strong. You can see that Lion's health is already very low!"

Kim Jae-sik originally wanted to analyze the last-hitting of both sides to demonstrate RapidStar's dominance.

After taking a quick glance, he discovered that Talon had actually landed three more last hits than Twisted Fate, so he immediately changed his tune.

RapidStar was so focused on suppressing Zhou Li that he would often give up last-hitting minions to try and auto-attack Zhou Li.

But anyway, don't worry about whether the blade is pressed down or not, just say whether the line is pressed down or not.

"Wow!"

In the AZF team voice chat, RapidStar would occasionally let out a sigh of pure bliss, the kind of exclamation that only a South Korean chaebol would make when enjoying a kimchi feast.

"Wow!"

“Never had such a great start!”

Seeing RapidStar so engrossed, MadLife couldn't help but speak up to remind him:

"Don't get too carried away, or that lion might suddenly pull out something new."

Upon hearing Madlife's words, RapidStar immediately burst into laughter.

"What new stuff did he pull out? I've already sent him packing! He's only at level four, and I've already sent him packing."

RapidStar had barely finished speaking when MadLife saw his chat box suddenly pop up.

On the public chat, it was a message posted by Lion.

Hello.

Before MadLife could react, a large tree appeared out from behind him.

Meanwhile, the Talon who RapidStar claimed had been sent back home was now riding a giant tree, blocking their retreat!
"Damn it! Talon is in my bot lane!"

Madlife couldn't help but swear, his mind racing.

He and Woong are in very bad shape!
Because they were already online late, the two were constantly being pinned under their tower by WE's bot lane.

The policewoman's long arms, combined with the drain on her radiance, made life unbearable for both the Sun Woman and the plane beneath the tower.

Just recently, Madlife tried to find an opportunity to use his E on Lux, and the two sides engaged in a tentative exchange of summoner spells.

At this moment, neither Leona nor Corki has any Summoner Spells, and both have less than half health!

There's simply no room for maneuver!

Madlife glanced at the minimap; his jungler had gone to the top lane, and the mid laner Twisted Fate had just recalled.

No one can help them.

"Wow! Lion! He's already roaming at level four!! Is it because RapidStar is putting too much pressure on him?! But the bot lane is in danger right now! Maokai has made his move! He's bound Corki! Lux followed up with her Q, and Caitlyn has placed a trap at Corki's feet!!"

"Madlife tried to control Maokai, but Maokai used Flash to pull him out of the turret's attack range! Caitlyn... Caitlyn went straight for Leona, and the low-health Corki was finished off by Talon's Q skill!!"

"Madlife seems to be trapped too! Oh, Lux died tanking the tower! But he didn't take any damage from the champions! He was killed by the tower!! Can Madlife escape?! Wow! He can't escape! Caitlyn stopped attacking again! WE is feeding Lion kills!! Talon killed Leona, getting a double kill, and Caitlyn is even tanking the tower for Talon!!"

Quan Yongjun shouted in one breath, his face turning bright red.

While Jeon Yong-jun was catching his breath, Kim Jae-sik couldn't help but complain:

"Wow, WE! This is going too far! Lion is treated like he just came to the bot lane for a quick bite! What kind of treatment is this?! Does WE really want to play the game like this?!"

"Oh, this is really too much! It's like he's being treated like an emperor! Is Lion the emperor of WE?!"

Quan Yongjun seemed to have thought of something and nervously spoke up:

"I think I know why Lion picked Talon! WE must have practiced this entire composition beforehand! WE's bot lane duo's pressure and poke in the bot lane were designed to create opportunities for Lion! We know Talon's biggest problem is his early game weakness, and without an item advantage, he can't be effective! So WE planned this all along! They're using the bot lane to help Talon get through his early game weakness!!"

Kim Jae-sik thought for a moment, then said, puzzled:

"But isn't this risk a bit too great? It's like putting all the chances of winning or losing on Lion alone!"

Quan Yongjun replied without hesitation:

"If you had a teammate like Lion, and you were willing to bet the outcome of the game on him, would you hesitate?"

On the AZF player bench, Woong was giving a warm greeting to RapidStar.

The male knife has already left gracefully.

Zhou Li's greeting popped up in the chat box again.

Bye-bye.

"Damn it! What are you doing in mid lane?! Are you just showing off? What?! You forced Talon back to base?! Can you please use your brain next time you speak?!"

RapidStar scratched his head in frustration.

He was truly at a loss.

Being pressured in the mid lane leads to being criticized, and even after finally managing to suppress Zhou Li, the pressure still gets applied.

What upset him even more was that Talon got a double kill in that wave and came back to buy a Brutalizer.

And like a madman, he used Flash the moment he saw me!

EAWQ!!

After a full combo, the card's health dropped to below half!

This forced RapidStar to use Flash to create distance as well.

RapidStar knew that the two kills in the bottom lane had allowed Talon to overcome his weak period.

He only dared to step forward after taking two bottles of blood-replenishing medicine.

Because he had just pushed the minion wave halfway, and now the minion wave was stuck in front of the tower, he had to push the minion wave forward.

Up until now, RapidStar wasn't too worried.

Although Talon had just taken away more than half of his health, Talon himself was also in a bad state after being stunned by Twisted Fate.

Twisted Fate's health is not enough to be instantly killed by Talon's combo, but if Talon rashly uses his E to engage, RapidStar believes he can use the kiting to kill Talon.

But the moment RapidStar's left foot crossed the middle of the river, he regretted it.

Because a large tree emerged from the grass in the riverbed.

RapidStar's heart skipped a beat; only then did he belatedly realize what was happening.

Was that reckless dash forward just now just a dash-for-dash exchange?

And this big tree has probably been sitting here for who knows how long!

Hello.

Zhou Li's polite greeting popped up in the chat box again.

[WE_lion (Blade Master) has defeated Azubu Frost_RapidStar (Twisted Fate)!]

The moment Talon killed Twisted Fate, Zhou Li's words were already cut out of the chat box!

And this time, it's not just a simple goodbye.

It's bilingual in Chinese and Korean!

[(Taking on apprentices)]

Looking at the content in the chat box, RapidStar felt a vein throbbing in his forehead.

A simple statement about accepting an apprentice made RapidStar an instant sensation.

How could a primitive person who lived for 12 years accept such advanced and strange language?

Compared to direct insults, the practice of "taking on apprentices" is a form of subtle mockery disguised as teaching, which is more insidious in its attack but more likely to cause psychological discomfort.

The content that Zhou Li sent in the chat box was naturally broadcast live worldwide!
Chinese live stream.

Netizens were in an uproar after seeing Zhou Li accepting apprentices.

[Hahaha, what the hell is this about taking on apprentices? That's hilarious!]

[Holy crap, this is even more offensive than insulting the mothers of Koreans.]

[Put yourself in RapidStar's shoes, and you're so angry you'd want to commit suicide.]

When it comes to manipulating people's mentality, my brother Zhou is unbeatable.

[Zhou Li: You think I only have new tricks up my sleeve when it comes to playing games? Dude, I have new tricks up my sleeve when it comes to trash-talking too.]

I thought "Hello, Bye-bye" was outrageous enough, but I never expected "Hello" to take on apprentices.

When it comes to stepping on someone's head and making them shit, Brother Zhou has never disappointed me.

[Isn't the most outrageous thing this insane hand speed? It felt like the card had barely died when the chat popped up, and it was even in both Chinese and Korean!]

The abyssal maw's ability to spew five breaths per second is no empty boast.

[Zhou Ge's keyboard must be smoking from all that typing, right?]

I'm genuinely curious, who taught Zhou Ge Korean? It remains a mystery to this day.

[The mystery remains unsolved? Haven't you seen Hyun-kyung tutoring Zhou Ge every night?] [I feel sorry for Zhou Ge; he's so tired from playing matches during the day, and he still has to study foreign languages ​​at night. Someone like him deserves to succeed.]

[Just arrived, so I'm asking because I don't understand. Who is Hyun-kyung? Isn't the female lead Abu?]

AZF players' bench.

RapidStar was so angry that his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

In addition to being ridiculed by Zhou Li, he also had to endure pressure from his teammates.

After CloudTemplar saw his mid-laner get solo-killed, bringing the kill score to 0-3, he clearly started to panic.

They forced a tower dive in the top lane.

However, he was outmaneuvered by Olaf, who managed to escape.

Two Flashes for one Flash – a complete loss.

Frustrated, CloudTemplar immediately turned its attention to RapidStar.

Faced with his teammates' angry outbursts, RapidStar could only swallow his anger.

However, CloudTemplar's cursing had barely stopped when a greeting from shy followed.

He had just driven Olaf away in the top lane and was farming minions in front of WE's tower.

As a result, Maokai and Talon came to the top lane again!
After securing a solo kill in the mid lane, Talon went back to base and immediately bought Boots of Mobility.

The sudden appearance of the two was completely unexpected by Shy.

He had just used Flash.

RapidStar's statement, "I sent him home after he passed the CET-4," triggered a series of chain reactions.

Level 5 Talon, four kills!
Korean commentary booth.

Just three minutes ago, Jeon Yong-joon and Kim Jae-sik were chatting and laughing.

Three minutes later, only the complete pizza remained in the commentary booth.

No one expected that AZF's collapse would come so quickly!

"Wow! The current situation is very unfavorable for AZF! Talon's development is a bit too smooth!"

Quan Yongjun couldn't help but speak up:

"Do you know what terrifies me most right now?"

"If the reason why people were afraid of WE before was because of Lion's individual skill, what I found terrifying in today's match was WE's tactical coordination and teamwork! In fact, the fact that Talon has four kills so far in the game is not because Lion has made any brilliant plays, but because AZF's tactics in the early stages of the game have been completely led by the nose by WE!"

"This is a matter of intelligence!"

Kim Jae-sik sighed and said:

"We still have a chance now. Let's wait until Twisted Fate reaches level six. Once he's level six, he can gank the side lanes. We need to figure out how to free up TheShy's top lane."

Kim's idea was wonderful.

But how could WE not know AZF's thoughts?

Twisted Fate should have lane priority in the mid lane against Talon.

Having lane priority means he's more mobile than Talon and can reach level six earlier, thus enabling AZF's tactics.

However, the problem now is that Talon's development is too advanced.

Twisted Fate can no longer secure lane priority in the mid lane.

Furthermore, when Talon, who had four kills, reached level six, Twisted Fate was only level five.

The moment RapidStar saw the level 6 Talon disappear from the lane, he frantically sent signals to inform his teammates that Talon was missing.

AZF's bot lane duo immediately retreated to the second tower.

CloudTemplar headed to the bottom lane to help the bot lane duo farm, but ended up running into Talon and Maokai in the jungle.

WE's goal from the beginning was not the bot lane!
Zhou Li knew that once he reached level six first, and he disappeared, the AZF bot lane duo would not dare to stand under the outer turret unless they were completely incompetent.

This allows WE's bottom lane to push towers with impunity.

Because of WE's early actions, AZF's vision in the lower jungle was very poor.

All he needs to do is squat here with Mingkai.

If the jungler doesn't come, let Smile take down the bottom lane tower.

If the jungler comes to support, kill the jungler and then take down AZF's bottom lane tower.

With CloudTemplar gone, the chat window popped up again.

[No CloudTemplar. I accept apprentices, but not CloudTemplar.]

CloudTemplar's face turned bright red, and he swore on and on.

RapidStar was gloating; at least he could still be taken on as an apprentice, unlike some others who weren't even qualified.

AZF is now completely under WE's control, being led by the nose by WE throughout the entire game.

In eleven minutes, WE's bot lane duo destroyed AZF's outer bot lane turret.

They then immediately switched lanes to the top lane.

Shy was thinking of farming properly for a while when he saw Caitlyn and Lux ​​arrive in the top lane.

Meanwhile, Twisted Fate, who had just reached level six, hadn't even had a chance to assess the situation or unleash his ultimate to provide support when Talon and Maokai seized the opportunity and tower-dived him.

The chat box reappeared.

Collect your mount.

RapidStar's face immediately darkened.

Thirteen minutes later, AZF's top tower fell, but WE showed no intention of retreating and continued to push towards AZF's second tower.

A team fight broke out in front of the second tower, with Zhou Li's Talon and Youmuu's Ghostblade entering the fray and instantly killing Twisted Fate.

WE traded 2 for 4 and continued to push towards AZF's second tower.

Zhou Li's comment: [Materials Bureau.]

At 15 minutes, WE grouped up and pushed mid. AZF didn't defend at all, but instead went to gank Talon who was split pushing in the bottom lane. However, Talon killed Corki instead and flashed away. AZF's outer mid tower fell.

Zhou Li's comment: [Forwarded to human intervention.]

RapidStar, having reached their limit, called in the referee, called a timeout, and strongly accused Zhou Li of psychologically attacking them during the game.

CloudTemplar took the opportunity to stand up, peek at the big screen on the stage, and call out WE's position to his teammates. (*)

After discussion, the referees determined that Zhou Li did not use profanity in the game, and therefore disagreed with RapidStar's accusations.

The match resumed, and CloudTemplar thought his callouts would give his team something, but given the huge equipment level difference, CloudTemplar's actions only brought glory to Korean esports once again.

Seventeen minutes.

AZF high ground has fallen.

The Talon, whose development was extremely advanced, scored a triple kill on AZF's high ground.

Zhou Li continued to leave a message: 【Is there a real person here?】

Nineteen minutes in, AZF breached all three lanes, and the economic difference between the two sides approached 20,000.

WE grouped up and pushed down the middle, AZF put up a desperate fight but was defeated by Smile's Caitlyn with a pentakill. WE only lost Strawberry's Olaf.

Seeing that the AZF base was about to explode, Zhou Li shouted loudly:

"Strawberry! Send them that Korean phrase I taught you during my special training!!"

Strawberry paused for a moment, but then excitedly started typing.

AZF players' bench.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

This match was even more humiliating for the AZF players than the previous incident of pulling the internet cable.

The Lion on the other side was killing people while typing taunts, and every word he said was extremely hurtful.

They broke through the defenses of all five AZF members.

Especially mid laner RapidStar and jungler CloudTemplar.

The two had just had a big argument and didn't exchange a single word with each other until the end of the match.

Everyone knew that the game was beyond saving, and their hands had already left the mouse and keyboard, just waiting for the base to explode.

Just then, Strawberry sent her a greeting.

get out of class dismissed!

This not only stunned the AZF players, but also the netizens watching the match.

【what? 】

[Holy crap, did I read the ID correctly? Was this posted by Strawberry?]

【No way, this is hilarious! How could Strawberry post a 0-1 score?】

[Don't you get it? It's only effective if the worst person sends the insulting message.]

[I guess Zhou asked Strawberry to post this. Strawberry wouldn't be that unethical.]

On the players' bench, TheShy's face was contorted with anger.

It's one thing for Zhou Li to mock them, but what right does this strawberry have?
The two sides have faced off four times, and in each game he was forced to retreat under the tower like a coward. Now he's actually quitting!
Of the five players, TheShy maintained the best mentality in this game.

But right now, Shy is the one whose mentality is most shattered.

Let's just accept defeat.

That noob on the other side is still putting on airs!!

In an instant, the AZF players' bench was transported back to the steam age!
