Chapter 124 The Departure Ceremony, The Flag Bearer! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]
Besides the system's notification, even Lee Doo-hwan had a feeling that danger was about to befall him.
The killing intent perception has been triggered!
and----
What an intense feeling!!!
Could it be that—
Is someone trying to ambush me again?
Lee Doo-hwan looked around warily at the people around him, afraid that some energetic young man might suddenly appear and cause him trouble.
He wanted to uncover any potential dangers.
Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, I couldn't find anything wrong with it, and the people around me didn't seem to be acting strangely.
It wasn't until he looked down at Yoon Soo-bin, whose eyes were brimming with affection and almost drooling, that Lee Doo-hwan suddenly realized what was going on.
The danger is emanating from the other party!
really!
The dog system is as unreliable as ever. What danger could it possibly pose?
"Ding! Host, please be careful!"
Repeat, please be careful, host!!!
The system notification sounded again, seemingly worried that its host might be eliminated.
But Lee Doo-hwan also had something to say.
This is the perfect time for Chinese sons and daughters to win glory for their country, how could I possibly have the thought of backing down halfway through!?
"Should I avoid her?!"
As Lee Doo-hwan responded in his heart, he also reached out and put his arm around Yoon Soo-bin's waist.
Led by Yoon Soo-bin, Lee Doo-hwan returned to the other party's home.
Upon entering, Yoon Soo-bin warmly greeted Lee Doo-hwan, her watery eyes instantly captivating anyone who looked at her.
-
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there!"
Seeing Yoon Soo-bin run off to the bedroom after speaking, Lee Doo-hwan walked over and sat down on the sofa.
When Yoon Soo-bin came out of the bedroom again, her once long, slender, fair legs were now covered in nylon stockings.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Yoon Soo-bin asked as she walked up to Lee Doo-hwan.
"Host, please be aware, danger is imminent. The system estimates the losses could be in the hundreds of millions!!!"
The system's voice sounded again.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'll avoid her sharp edge!"
Lee Doo-hwan responded with boundless pride in his heart.
This is the perfect time to win glory for the country, and he certainly won't let this great opportunity slip by!
Seeing Yoon Soo-bin sitting comfortably in his lap, Lee Doo-hwan no longer hesitated and decisively started a friendly China-Korea exchange competition with her!
This night was destined to be an extraordinary one!
Yoon Soo-bin was also very enthusiastic.
Since it was Lee Doo-hwan's first time visiting Yoon Soo-bin's home, Yoon Soo-bin showed him the layout of the house very carefully.
Living room, kitchen, even balcony!
There's a saying that goes, "One should never stop learning in this life!"
I really need to learn this foreign language!!!
Seeing Yoon Soo-bin's dazed expression, Lee Doo-hwan decisively chose to sacrifice himself in order to promote their friendship.
(The following is omitted for brevity: 5,000 words!!!)
The next day.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the room, and a gentle breeze stirred a corner of the curtains.
Sometimes, what shines on your face in the morning isn't necessarily that ray of sunlight.
Seeing Yoon Soo-bin, who had just gotten up and was already thinking about making plans for the day, Lee Doo-hwan reached out and patted the other's head while also letting out a deep sigh.
The system wasn't lying; this is indeed very dangerous!!!
After finishing his morning exercise, he faced Yoon Soo-bin, whose face was rosy and whose eyes were slightly rolled upwards.
After saying "You can wipe it yourself," Lee Doo-hwan packed up and left.
Back at the base by taxi, before I could even settle in, Lee Sang-hyeok came up to me.
"Doo-hwan, where did you go last night?"
"Didn't I tell you? Soobin asked me to have dinner with him."
"So you didn't come home all night!?"
"Isn't this normal?" Lee Doo-hwan glanced at Lee Sang-hyeok. "There are plenty of people who want to invite me to dinner. If I were really only after that meal, why would I agree to her invitation?"
"Big Brother is right!" Gu Shengbin chimed in, eager to agree.
In the days that followed, after the LCK gauntlet tournament concluded, the send-off ceremony, which had been delayed due to special circumstances, finally began.
After all, this only happens once a year, and if it's just put on hold, it would undoubtedly be a disappointment for the fans.
The fourth LCK spot was awarded to some teams that were unable to participate in the World Championship due to special circumstances.
This naturally made the LPL's "Wolf Warriors" very unhappy.
Because of Riot Games' rule changes this year, the LPL only got the fourth ticket to the World Championship because of last year's S champion.
In contrast, LCK seems to be receiving special treatment!
This resulted in DRX's official account being subjected to a home visit after securing the ticket, and even Riot's official account was not spared.
[Sima's Fist, can they really cheat this blatantly at the World Championship?]
[What are you afraid of? LPL is the number one region. Even if we gave them ten tickets, they would still lose!]
[This bunch of lousy Wolf Warriors are making a mess of things. They think they're the world's number one region just because they won two S-level championships?!]
T1 alone has more S-series championships than your entire region combined!
[An S-series champion who never even played against T1, honestly, doesn't have much value!?]
[Your T1 team hasn't even been able to face an LPL team in the last two years, where do you get the nerve to yell like that!]
[Just an ancient champion, they're just waiting to lose!!!]
In preparation for the departure ceremony, Lee Doo-hwan and his team arrived at the venue early.
But when they arrived, they found that the other three teams had already arrived.
"Why did you take so long? I've been waiting for you for ages!" Looking at Yoon Soo-bin, who had pulled him aside and was pouting and complaining, Lee Doo-hwan couldn't help but recall the moment when the two of them had talked all night not long ago.
I must say, no wonder he's an official host, his eloquence is truly exceptional!
"Do you have anything else to do after you're done with your work?" Yoon Soo-bin asked again, a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Clearly, she's tasted success!
"It should be gone."
Lee Doo-hwan exchanged a few words with the other person, and then, as a helpful gesture, reached out to smooth out the other person's slightly wrinkled hair before heading towards the dressing room.
-
Upon arriving at the dressing room, even before opening the door, one could hear conversations coming from inside.
Lee Doo-hwan reached out and slowly pushed open the door, walking inside.
As he moved, the people inside instinctively turned their gazes toward him.
At that very moment, the system notification sound rang out.
[Ding! Host, please note that you have entered the area where members of the Three Star Hall are gathered. Given the grudges between our group and the enemy, please be careful and do not provoke them!]
Lee Doo-hwan:
He took another closer look, and sure enough, as far as the eye could see, it was full of Samsung employees!
No wonder the dog system gave such a warning; if things were really like what happened in Hong Kong, there might actually be some danger.
But unfortunately—
This isn't it!
-
Upon seeing who had pushed open the door and walked in, the ruler, who had just been acting as a pillar of support inside, immediately took three steps at a time to stand in front of Lee Doo-hwan, then bowed slightly and spoke respectfully.
"Dou-hwan, bro!"
As a very traditional AD carry and the most steadfast 80s warrior, even though Lee Doo-hwan is not a member of Samsung, in Ruler's eyes he is a high and mighty figure who deserves his respect!
Not to mention————
Even Ahn, the leader of Samsung, once privately invited Lee Doo-hwan to dinner!
This is a privilege not everyone can enjoy!
You're too kind.
Facing the very respectful ruler, Lee Doo-hwan reached out and patted the other's shoulder as he spoke.
"Dou-hwan hyung, what you're saying is true. You're a senior, so it's only right that I, Park Jae-hyuk, respect you."
After saying that, Ruler turned around, looked at the other Samsung screens that were not responding, and slowly spoke.
Are you all blind?
At his prompting, Clid, Life, and the others quickly started shouting.
"Dou-hwan, bro!"
"Hey, why are you being so polite? Please sit down." Lee Doo-hwan waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down.
Clid had barely sat down, not even properly settled, when he was slapped hard on the back of the head with a ruler.
"You actually sat down when I told you to!"
Get the hell out of here!
"But I haven't finished yet—" Clid covered the back of her head and looked at the ruler with frustration. Even the makeup artist next to her stopped what she was doing.
"You idiot, what the hell are you doing? Didn't you see Doo-hwan is here? Get in the back!"
After pulling Clid up from the stool, Ruler turned back to look at Lee Doo-hwan.
When he turned around, the fierce look he had given Clid was completely gone, replaced by a broad smile.
"Brother Douhuan, you go first."
"That's not a good idea."
Even Lee Doo-hwan, the only person born in the 1980s in T1, was a little embarrassed by the ruler at this moment.
All I can say is that Ruler truly lives up to his reputation as a staunch 80s-era warrior, personally selected by Master An with pure bloodline and without a trace of impurity!
And this kid is also very principled!
Unlike some people who ran away when they were juniors and then came back after becoming seniors, he didn't want to suffer any losses and only wanted to enjoy the good life.
On the other hand, the ruler strictly adheres to the tradition of respecting superiors and inferiors, accepts the teachings of its elders, and will also firmly educate its juniors!
"Brother Douhuan, there's nothing wrong with this, you can go ahead."
Under the ruler's influence, Lee Doo-hwan had no choice but to cut in line.
During the makeup artist's styling, Chi Quan was very considerate, bringing water and placing the fruit he had bought in front of Lee Doo-hwan. His thoughtfulness goes without saying.
Once everything was settled, Lee Doo-hwan stood up from his chair and patted Ruler on the shoulder.
"Jae-hyuk, you're a very promising young man, capable of great things."
"Brother Douhuan, what you're saying... compared to you, I'm still far from being good enough!"
Lee Doo-hwan smiled, said nothing more, and turned to walk outside.
After he left the dressing room, the system notification sounded in Lee Doo-hwan's ears once again.
[Ding! The host truly lives up to his reputation as a genius born for the Dao. He escaped unscathed from the encirclement of the Three Star Hall members without losing a single hair!]
Given time, it will surely shine with its own unique brilliance!
Lee Doo-hwan:
soon.
Everyone is almost ready!
With Roaring Emperor and Yoon Soo-bin taking the stage, the departure ceremony officially began.
After the two finished their formal opening remarks, the entire venue suddenly went dark.
next second!
The DRX team logo slowly appeared on the suspended screen above the venue.
Immediately afterwards, DRX's top laner Doran appeared on the big screen.
As Dolan's official photo appeared on the screen, a spotlight shone down on him as he stood on the stage.
In this way, every time a contestant appears on the big screen, the light shines on that person, and the area where they are located also lights up.
After all five members of DRX were brought into the public eye, the next team to be introduced was naturally Samsung, the third seed from LCK, and the process was just like that of DRX!
However, unlike DRX, where all five DRX players stood at the very back of the stage, Samsung's players stood slightly in front of them.
Clearly, this arrangement follows the order from seed number four to seed number one.
When all four teams appeared on stage, all the lights in the venue turned on at that moment.
All the athletes participating in this world championship were captured in the eyes of those watching the send-off ceremony.
【Jian Family Ancestral Hall!!!】
Look at LCK, then look at LPL, and you can only say there's a huge difference!
[What's so great about that? Esports is a pillar industry in South Korea, but it's not valued at all here!]
Indeed, what's the use of LCK being so strong? Can they withstand a sudden easterly wind?
Since the higher-ups don't approve, can Lao Pi Lao please stop associating himself with national honor?
It's bad enough that you embarrass yourself, but you also bring shame to the country!
[If you insult me again!? If you insult me again, I'll strip you of your citizenship!]
Once all the lights in the venue came on, everyone could see that in front of the four teams, at the very front of the stage, a flag bearing the LCK logo was firmly planted.
At that moment, Lee Doo-hwan, who was standing at the very front, representing the number one seed and also in the center of T1, took a step forward and strolled leisurely towards the front.
When he reached the flag, he reached out and pulled it out of the hole with one hand, raising it high as he turned to look at all the players participating in this world championship.
At this moment, the director also gave each contestant a close-up shot of their face.
Since the send-off ceremony signifies their participation in the world championships, everyone's faces inevitably showed a solemn and serious expression.
This is nothing unusual; it's a very normal emotional expression.
However, when combined with the scene of Lee Doo-hwan standing at the front holding the flag, it becomes hard to hold back.
To put it bluntly, everyone knows this is a team going on a campaign, and Lee Doo-hwan, as a four-time champion, is naturally the leader and the one carrying the flag.
Anyone who didn't know better would think these people were all Lee Doo-hwan's underlings!
