We promised to win the championship together, so why did you all retire?

DWG's spacious and bright training room was not as bustling as usual; instead, it seemed rather sluggish.

The LCK schedule is different from the LPL schedule; DWG has just finished their break.

The situation is similar to a Monday during my school days.

People's minds naturally become a bit restless.

"Xiuer, could you get me a bottle of yogurt?"

Canyon, the jungler whose real name is Kim Geon-sik, spoke up.

His voice was lazy and gave people a simple and honest feeling.

But these kinds of people are often the most ruthless when they band together.

"oh."

Xu Xiu responded and handed him a bottle.

In the upper right corner of the desktop, the ID 【DWG.Showmaker】 is clearly visible.

"Our opponent in today's practice match, I think it's RG, right?"

The AD carry in the bottom lane seemed to be deep in thought.

"This team seems to have become quite famous lately."

The support player chewed gum, looking somewhat disdainful: "What's so famous about them? Is it TheShy in the top lane or Uzi in the bottom lane? To put it bluntly, they're just a few guys who are about to retire. I've heard from friends that their win rate against LPL teams is very low."

"Fame? Hah, that doesn't equal ability!"

Hoya, who was on the road, smiled and said, "You're jealous, aren't you, Kellin? You're definitely jealous."

"They're still seniors, so at least show some respect."

AD player rubbed his hands together, "Indeed."

He remarked with some emotion, "To be honest, I really never thought I'd have the chance to face off against a veteran like Uzi."

"Although my idol is Bang."

Xu Xiu's lips twitched.

That's quite the fan base.

He realized that his own bot lane duo was somewhat envious and jealous of the other team.

His tone became somewhat sarcastic and unpleasant.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

Whether it's TheShy or Uzi.

Even though it's not as successful as it used to be, its reputation still stands.

Many athletes retire quietly and remain unknown; how can one not be envious?

Why play professionally if not to make a name for yourself?

Xu Xiu laughed and cursed a couple of times.

"Ugh! You guys are practically overflowing with sour grapes!"

"All of you better behave yourselves. If you have any complaints, vent them in the practice match later, okay?"

The assistant chuckled, "Well said, Brother Xu Xiu! I'm captivated by your charm once again. Can I have one of your shirts?"

Xu Xiu: ...

Oh no, here we go again!

Since he won the championship, he has been inexplicably harassed by many Korean gay men on Twitter and Instagram, who say things like, "Heo Soo-hyung, you are so cute, I am deeply attracted to you, I can't help but stand up when I see you," which is very offensive.

Even during live streams, people often send him Super Comments (SC) to express their love.

It really annoyed him.

The key is.

When her teammates found out about this, they didn't comfort Xu Xiu at all.

Instead, she often teases him with ambiguous remarks!

Thinking of this, Xu Xiu couldn't help but sigh again.

Alas, my strange charm has nowhere to go.

DWG didn't chat for long because the draft was completed quickly.

Practice matches are just practice matches; there are no bans, only picks.

If someone wants to practice a system, what kind of behavior is it to ban the core hero of that system?

The lineups of both sides are as follows:

Blue side DWG.

Qinggangying

Jungle Nidalee

Syndra (Mid Lane)

Bottom lane: Varus and Nautilus

Red Team RG:

Top lane crocodile

Jungle Spider

Zoe (Mid Lane)

Bottom lane Caitlyn and Jaraxxus

"You're taking this so seriously, who are you trying to scare?"

Uz couldn't help but mutter something when he saw the lineup.

This lineup is so DWG-esque.

He just retired, he didn't quit the game.

The lineup that DWG chose in this game was very characteristic of DWG.

Especially the opposing mid and jungle players.

Canyon's Nidalee and Showmaker's Syndra, wow.

"Bai Liang, are you panic?"

When asked by Uzi, Bai Liang nodded without hesitation.

"A little, but I'm not afraid."

He has been catching up on a lot of matches recently, so he naturally knows that the opposing mid and jungle players are all their signature picks.

But he wasn't really panicked.

Firstly, this is just a training match, so losing isn't a big deal.

Secondly, although he is just a player who came from S8, he really has cheat codes.

No matter how strong the opponent, you can never make him bow down.

Besides, isn't the point of practice matches to find weaknesses?

Losing is a good thing; losing is a gain!

Not long after it went online, Xu Xiu let out a soft "hmm".

"That's a bit... strange."

Canyon felt no pressure in the jungle, so I casually asked a question.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Xiu's eyes flickered:

"This Zoe seems to be only so-so, but for some reason her positioning is excellent."

"I didn't make much money from my blood transfusion."

"...That's strange."

Xu Xiu was quite certain that he handled the level one situation perfectly and released his skills very decisively.

however--

He just didn't win many.

Syndra is no longer the lane bully she used to be; with the change to her Q skill's mana cost, she has to make choices during the laning phase.

Should we push the lane or attack?

Xu Xiu originally thought he could push the lane and pressure the opponent at the same time, but in reality, he found it difficult to reduce the opponent's health.

If it's a ranked match, Xu Xiu will report it immediately.

It's not that this person is particularly skilled; it's that their positioning and awareness don't match.

With such amazing positioning, how come your awareness is only this level?

There is generally only one situation that fits this characteristic:

That means the other side is using scripts.

Can--

This is a practice match.

Do professional players open their notebooks in front of their coaches when they're practicing?

That's insane.

That's why he said it was strange.

Little did they know, Bai Liang on the other side was also marveling at the situation.

Holy crap, this line of thinking!

Holy crap, that level of skill!

Holy crap, that's some serious lane dominance!

As one of the few mid-laners who has touched a championship trophy and is still in his prime, Xu Xiu's pressure is far greater than that of ordinary Challenger players in the Chinese server.

He played up to level three with almost no mistakes.

The finishing blow is delivered flawlessly.

And they have been playing quite aggressively.

This guy's fundamentals are so bad, it's really exaggerated!

In Bai Liang's memory of the S8 era...

They should be able to kick the little tiger like a soccer ball.

Fortunately, his 99% hand speed and full concentration were not to be underestimated.

Even though Bai Liang's laning skills were not as good as Xu Xiu's, his high hand speed and focus made his positioning incredibly agile.

While it's not possible to dodge skills 100% of the time, since movement speed doesn't support it.

But it can also make his positioning outstanding.

Even when facing Xu Xiu.

Xu Xiu frowned as yet another QE attempt was dodged.

"Prediction?"

He pushed up his glasses and chose to return to the city to become a goddess in tears.

This person was surprisingly difficult to deal with.

They can suppress it, but they just can't kill it.

It's infuriating.

Little did he know that Bai Liang's prediction was not accurate at all.

Bai Liang doesn't have that kind of thinking now.

It's just pure numerical data.

kkoma stood behind, watching this scene in amazement.

Huh?

Surprisingly, nothing happened?

Although it was a bit of a stretch, Bai Liang actually managed to keep him calm.

He felt a little relieved, and then turned his attention to the bottom lane.

First Blood!

BestAD has killed DWG.Kellin!

BestAD is Uzi's Korean server account.

Because RG has just been registered, the official Korean server super account hasn't been sent over yet.

kkoma sighed unconsciously.

As expected, the bottom lane couldn't hold its ground...

That's normal. Uzi has been retired for so long, so it's not a big deal if he can't beat him.

Ok?

kkoma's eyes widened as he carefully examined the battle record.

"what?"

Who killed whom?
