LOL: Reborn in Season 3, Taming Lee Sang-hyeok

Is Chapter 79 going to be another recap?

After the handshake ended, Li Zhixing bowed in the center of the stage to acknowledge the gesture, and then packed up his peripherals and left with his teammates.

Halfway there, today's host, Eun-jung, appeared and stopped Lee Ji-haeng, indicating that there was an interview scheduled for today.

With the competition reaching its sixth round, all five members of RISE had already been interviewed, and finally, the focus shifted back to Li Zhixing.

Li Zhixing nodded, went back to the dressing room to put away the equipment, and then turned around to prepare to go on stage.

But unexpectedly, Eun-jung handed over a small card before she came on stage.

What kind of plot is this?

Li Zhixing raised an eyebrow and glanced down at the screen.

Unexpectedly, the card contained questions that Eun-jung had prepared in advance.

"6

""

Lee Ji-haeng glanced at Eun-jung and couldn't help but purse his lips.

How much do you worry about me?

Eun-jung's eyes were filled with determination.

She was truly at her wit's end.

Rise's interviews are just too unpredictable. Every time she goes on stage, she makes a big splash. She has to find a way to control the interviews!

Li Zhixing wasn't one to be rude. He quite admired the female host in front of him, who had a serious work attitude. He simply exchanged a few words with her and then went on stage together.

The two introduced themselves first, and then began a question-and-answer session as rehearsed.

"In today's match, RISE's winning streak in individual games since the start of the season unfortunately came to an end, with the record ending at eleven wins."

Eun-jung slowly said, "But after losing the match, R1SE delivered a perfect performance in the decisive game. How did the team make adjustments at that time?"

Li Zhixing answered calmly and slowly: "This is indeed the first time the team has suffered a defeat, but we didn't actually make any adjustments. We just briefly reviewed the problems that occurred in the last game."

"Since the third game was a blind pick match, which is our comfort zone, we weren't worried about losing."

This answer was already checked beforehand, so the arrogance was much less pronounced.

Even so, it still sparked a flurry of discussion among the audience and viewers in the live broadcast room.

[That's true, seeing that the third game was a blind pick, I knew RISE had already won.]

Seeing Faker pick Zed and Neo pick Elise, I have no idea how we could lose this game!

[It's surprising, though. I didn't expect R1SE to have such a good mentality. I thought they would collapse after their winning streak ended.]

Indeed, RISE doesn't have a coach, yet their team discipline is so good!

Who says there are no coaches? Neo is one!

[Who would have thought? Neo is so handsome, looks like a trainee, yet he has the authority of a coach!]

Eun-jung smiled and nodded, then continued, "After winning today's match, RISE is now firmly in first place with a 6-0 score. Neo's goal set at the beginning of the season seems to be within reach. Does RISE have any short-term goals next?"

Without hesitation, Li Zhixing said, "No matter what, winning a match is something to be happy about. I hope RISE can keep winning and, in addition to winning the championship, try to achieve a perfect record in the regular season. It's my first time playing in OGN, and I don't want to lose a single match."

Logically, the interview should have ended here, since the small card only had these two questions.

But after a moment's thought, Eun-jung spontaneously raised a third question: "Before the competition, I noticed on the forums that many supporters were quite interested in Horse, a contestant on the RISE roster. Could you introduce this contestant to us?"

Eun-jung is quite reassured about this issue.

It's just introducing the team's substitutes, what kind of thunderous remarks could there be?

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Li Zhixing chuckled and said, "Oh, Horse is our club's chef. Since the OGN league requires a substitute, we brought him along."

Upon hearing this, Eun-jung's gaze went blank.

chef?

Bring the club's chef to play OGN?

Is there really such a way to show off?

Seemingly noticing the host's shock, Li Zhixing added, "Don't worry, Horse is also a Challenger player in the Korean server; his skill level is very high."

Can a chef really reach Challenger rank in the Korean server?

Eun-jung inwardly complained again, but on her face she smiled and said, "Hmm... okay, I hope to see this chef's performance on the OGN stage in the future..."

'

The interview session ended there. Li Zhixing bowed to the audience again and turned to leave.

When he returned to the backstage lounge after using the restroom, he saw several teammates who, for the first time in a long time, were not playing on their phones or sending messages, but instead gathered around the screen in the lounge, their eyes sparkling.

During the interview, the director cut to some highlights of the match to be played on a loop after the match ended.

What's playing now is footage from the final wave of the decisive game.

Li Zhi walked up and saw his spider flash forward and instantly kill the scarecrow in the midst of the crisis.

"Wow, Zhi Xing's reaction was amazing! So fast!" Kim Hyuk-kyu couldn't help but exclaim.

The situation was critical at the time, and his attention was entirely focused on himself, so he didn't notice what kind of move his older brother had made.

Li Zhixing's move not only dismantled the Scarecrow, a team fight nuke, but also limited Caitlyn's damage output, making it a key move to turn the tide of the battle.

The significance of this move is far greater than Lee Sang-hyeok's counterattack.

After all, even if Lee Sang-hyeok doesn't get a counter-kill, the team will simply have to give up Baron Nashor.

But if Li Zhixing doesn't flash out and kill the Scarecrow, the bottom lane team fight will collapse, and they might even lose the Baron.

"Focus, Hekyu," Li Zhixing chuckled. "With your reaction time, you should have been able to use Flash this time. You just let your guard down."

"Yes, bro..." Kim Hyuk-kyu nodded repeatedly.

Compared to Li Zhixing, this policewoman's performance was rather lackluster; she was completely overwhelmed by all the skills, and in the end, she still died.

If he could have used Flash earlier to dodge Shen's E, then this would have been his show.

The scene shifts, and we're back in the middle lane.

What followed was Lee Sang-hyeok's perfect maneuver, resulting in a counter-kill.

"Of course, Sang-hyeok is the most handsome," Mata said with a smile from the side.

"Even on the second viewing, I still can't clearly see how it works."

Lee Sang-hyeok, who was standing nearby, secretly pricked up his ears as he listened to these words.

"He really looks cool." Li Zhixing nodded as well. "Xianghe's performance was still good, and he proved himself."

Lee Sang-hyeok was secretly pleased, but then he heard Lee Ji-haeng say, "But problems still exist, and there are many of them. Let's go back and have a meal first, and then we'll review the situation together."

The R1SE members, who had been beaming with joy, immediately stopped laughing.

Even in a regular 2-0 sweep, the veteran can still find a lot of problems and flaws in the analysis, let alone today's loss?

Looks like today is going to be a tough day.
