LOL: You have too many tags!

Chapter 231 LCK Unity Conference (Extra)!

Early in the morning, Li Dao took a car and arrived downstairs where the "LCK Unity Conference" was recorded.

Originally, Brother A took the initiative to accompany him this time. He felt that although Li Dao had been in Korea not long ago, he was still very unfamiliar with the city of Seoul.

But Li Dao felt that he would be fine by himself, and the mid laners from other teams would most likely be accompanied by an assistant. It’s not like the club didn’t send staff members as assistants for him, so he could handle it all.

He happened to bump into Xu Xiu downstairs, and Li Dao smiled and waved to say hello: "Oh, ShowMaker Xu, what a coincidence. Have you just arrived too?"

I subconsciously wanted to call him by his first name, but suddenly I remembered the rules in Korea. In addition, the relationship between the two is not very close. If you don't want to call him "brother", you can only use "ShowMaker player". A more formal title.

The two of them stood together, and Xu Xiu, who was already not tall, looked even lower.

Embarrassed Xu Xiu took a step back.

You height people are really going too far.

"Yes." Xu Xiu nodded in response and stopped talking. Li Dao didn't care either.

Xu Xiu's character is very good, but they are still competitors in the same position, so it would be nice if there is no hostility between them.

He and Xu Xiu went upstairs and entered the studio. Li Dao glanced over and found that he and Xu Xiu were the first ones to arrive, and the other mid laners were not even there yet.

Where is Old Man Li?
Logically speaking, a person with Mr. Li's personality shouldn't be dawdling.

Thinking of the reminder his assistant gave him on the way, Li Dao was about to take the Bing American style in his hand and go to the PD (program director) to pay homage to the "pier." However, before he could take a step forward, a man wearing a decent uniform and a handsome face appeared in front of him. Woman with delicate makeup.

I also know Li Dao, and can even be said to be one of the few old acquaintances in the LCK.

Kim Minna!
One of the resident hosts of "LCK Unity Conference".

"We meet again, free contestant." Jin Minna smiled and made a scissor hand gesture: "You are two minutes late than the agreed time~"

Li Dao was a little confused. He glanced at his watch and said, "But didn't the notice say 9 o'clock? It's only 47 minutes now, so I'm considered early, right?"

"And the other contestants... seem to be still on the way."

Jin Minna said angrily: "That's right in the notice, but did the Free player forget the message I sent you? You agreed to come 15 minutes early so I can check the script for you in advance."

After saying that, he looked around again, leaned into Li Dao's ear and whispered: "I want you to familiarize yourself with the script in advance, so that you can have the opportunity to get more appearances. Do you understand?"

In South Korea, competing for C positions in the entertainment industry is very normal.

Jin Minna leaned very close, and Li Dao felt a sweet fragrance coming to his nose, and his gentle tone made people feel like a spring breeze.

However, he had to admit that although this sister had a "criminal record" in his memory, this style of treating others was indeed very useful.

"It doesn't matter, the camera or whatever, it doesn't matter to me."

As if she didn't hear anything, Jin Minna snatched the iced American from Li Dao's hand, put the straw in, took a sip and smiled at him: "That's so thoughtful, Free player, thank you for the coffee you prepared for me~ "

"." Li Dao wanted to say that it was for the PD, but in the end he swallowed it and looked at his assistant with a look of despair.

The assistant shook his head at him and motioned for him to continue chatting with Jin Minna. He then found the PD and others with a bag of coffee and asked them to take care of their players.

Li Daozheng was worried about how to deal with Jin Mina. Players such as Faker and Chovy arrived one after another. "Aniha Sayyo" suddenly sounded in the studio, and as there were more people, Jin Mina had no time to take care of him.

Especially with the presence of Faker, no matter how careful Jin Minna is, she must first focus on this e-sports iron head.

After all the mid laners arrived, the PD gathered everyone together and then introduced the recording rules and procedures of the show in detail.

"LCK Unity Conference" can be regarded as a small-scale online variety show, and its main target group is LCK fans.

The rules of the show are also very simple, that is, all the mid laners sit in a row, with three hosts sitting in the middle, and then the host will ask questions in rounds, and the players will each give their own answers in the way set by the host.

It seems simple, but if you can know the questions in advance and make a good draft, and give more insightful or weird answers than other contestants when answering, you will definitely get more in the show. of the lens.

From this point of view, Jin Minna is indeed taking care of herself. After all, the LCK official initially made her famous by firing her and Faker's CP, making Jin Minna another "LCK goddess" after Zhao Enjing.

No, no, Li Dao, Li Dao, you can't be blinded by a bad woman, and you can't waste the [Tiangang Boy Kung Fu] you got from Old Man Li!

Thinking like this, he subconsciously looked up at Old Man Li, but he happened to meet Jin Minna with crooked eyes.

"How are you doing as a free player? Is there anything you don't understand? If so, feel free to ask questions~"

"No, no, the rules are quite simple." Li Dao shook his head like a rattle, looked down at the script and stopped looking at her.

Faced with Li Dao's seemingly ungrateful reaction, Jin Minna not only was not disappointed, but instead smiled even happier.

The conversation and small actions between the two happened to be seen by Lee Sang Hyuk who was closest to them.

For some reason, Lao Litou's eyes suddenly dimmed. He didn't know whether it was because his official CP Jin Minna was more enthusiastic about another player, or because he remembered someone buried in his memory.
"I'm a little thirsty. Let's have a drink."

Thinking about it, Li Sang Hyuk unscrewed the bottle cap, raised his head and took two sips.

While the mid laners were getting familiar with the script, the studio had been completely set up. With a greeting from the PD, everyone stood in the designated positions.

The middle C position was given to Jin Minna. To her right was Bae Huizhi, who was slightly less qualified. On her left was Cpt Jack, who had transformed from an LCK first-generation (AD) player to a commentator.

Li Dao's position is on the right side of Pei Huizhi, while Old Man Li is on the left side of Cpt Jack. Both of them are placed in the C position of the player, followed by Xu Xiu, BDD, Chovy, Kuro and others.

With the PD's "Action!", the recording of the first episode of "LCK Unity Conference" officially started.

"Hello everyone, I am Jin Mina, the host of the LCK Unity Conference. Nice to meet you all~"

C host Jin Minna took the lead in saying hello to the camera. Pei Huizhi and Cpt Jack immediately clapped and cheered, and the mid laners present also joined in.

Then came Pei Huizhi: "Hello everyone, I am Pei Huizhi, the host of the LCK Unity Conference. I am very happy to meet you~"

When it was Cpt Jack's turn, it was slightly different: "Hello everyone, I am Cpt Jack, the special host of the LCK Unity Conference. Nice to meet you all!"

After the opening, Jin Minna quickly started the topic: "Yes, the LCK Unity Conference officially starts today. For this purpose, we have specially invited 10 mid laners."

Pei Huizhi took over the topic and said: "That's right! There are 5 different positions in the LOL game, and each position has a different definition and status. So what do you think the definition and status of the mid laner are?" As he spoke, he looked left and right. After a moment: "Does anyone want to answer this question?"

As soon as these words came out, the 10 mid laners sitting on both sides looked at each other in confusion. They all looked like they were holding back smiles and hesitating. They didn't seem to want to take the initiative to answer the question.

Even in South Korea, e-sports players' "nerdiness" is still at its fullest. It's obviously a bit difficult to expect them to be relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.

After waiting for two seconds, Jin Minna named her by name in order not to be silent: "As our S9 champion mid laner, what do Free players think?"

"Huh?" Li Dao, who was suddenly cueed, was stunned for a moment. After a brief reaction, he gave a newly learned word as his answer: "I think it's the royal family..."

As soon as these words came out, the mid laners present applauded the answer with satisfaction, and the three hosts also cheered very cooperatively.

The original meaning of the word "royal family" is the emperor's family. In recent years, due to its application in some specific contexts, it has gradually been given other meanings in Korean.

For example, in idol groups, [Royal Family] usually refers to the member whose resources are excessively tilted when the resources are unevenly distributed among members in a draft group.

In the e-sports circle, "Royal Family" usually refers to positions or members who have a naturally high tactical status and deserve to receive preferential resources.

In human terms, our mid laner is the boss!

"Yes, looking at the recent POG rankings, the top five are all mid laners. And judging from everyone's reactions, it seems that they all agree with the Free players' views." Cpt Jack gave a professional comment, Then moving on to the next topic: "In addition to the mid laner, our LCK Unity Conference will also invite players from top laner, jungler, shooter, support and other positions in the future. So should each of the five different positions elect a representative? ?”

The three hosts looked around and saw the same situation as before. The contestants all looked unwilling to come forward.

"Before the show started, our staff asked the players if there were any players they wanted to identify through this show." Jin Mina came to the rescue and said, "I heard that Faker is the most popular player."

"Really?" Pei Huizhi glanced at the message board, was shocked and said with a smile: "Yes, player Faker received an overwhelming - 2 votes!"

At this time, all the players present couldn't hold back their laughter, and Old Man Li could only smile helplessly and applaud himself.

"Wow, I'm really curious!" Cpt JackA raised his hand and said, "Which two players chose Faker?"

In the crowd, two people hesitated for a moment and raised their hands to signal.

Faker narrowed his eyes and raised his glasses. He was not surprised that one of the two people chose him - BDD. This kid has been said to be his fanboy for a long time.

And another.
"I believe it won't surprise anyone that BDD player will choose Faker." Jin Minna teased BDD, who nodded, glanced at Old Man Li again, then buried his head with a shy smile.

"But free player" Jin Minna raised her hand and said: "Can you explain to us the reason?"

In the video studio, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Dao.

As the first "foreign player" in the LCK League, Li Daoben is a very special existence, not to mention that he won the first Summoner's Trophy in his career at such a young age and won the FMVP of the global finals.

Just like Faker, who was at his peak after debuting seven years ago, his every word and action can attract the attention of countless people, and the mid laners present who have the most direct competitive relationship with him will naturally pay special attention to him.

"The reason. I am also a fan of player Faker."

Li Guo, I am really your fan.

Old Man Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, while Jin Mina continued to dig deeper: "Really? When did it start? The Double Tribulation Battle in S3? The Great Demon King Ryze in S5? Or something else? What?"

"Ahem...it's better to stop whipping Ryu-senpai to death."

"Emmm, it's a long story." Li Dao pondered for a moment, looked up at Old Man Li, and caught a glimpse of Xu Xiu beside him. He suddenly had an idea when he thought of the script requirements.

“还记得那是2017年的11月4日，那一天是S7全球总决赛的冠军之战，对战双方是SKT和SSG，最终比分是3比0。”

The faint smile on Old Man Li's face faded. He originally thought that day had been permanently sealed in the deepest part of his memory, but Li Dao only mentioned the date and did not specify that it was the S7 finals. The memory that lasted for a year and made him fall into the abyss and almost choose to retire suddenly came to mind.

"After the game, the audience in the Bird's Nest shouted Faker's name loudly. I sat in front of the computer and watched quietly. I saw Faker slumped in his chair and burst into tears. That scene - I will never forget it."

"At that moment I was thinking, if I can become a professional player one day, I must try my best to win everything!"

Li Dao paused for a moment when he said this, and no one intervened, because they had gradually empathized with this passionate words and understood that what Li Dao wanted to say has not yet been completed.

"When my teammates and I overcame all obstacles and stood on the final stage at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, looking at the Summoner's Trophy in the center of the stage that symbolized the highest honor, I had this thought in my heart." Li Dao raised his head Eyes, looking directly into the camera, full of determination, confidence, and fierceness.

"Now that the trophy is in front of me, I have to consider whether this will be the only opportunity in my life!" "I seized this opportunity, so from player Faker, I really understood one thing: when you step on From the moment you start your career, your goal is only to win the championship!”

The recording of "LCK Unity Conference Part 1" has been temporarily stopped.

The reason for the pause was not because of any uncontrollable accident, but because the young man named Li Dao's words were too enlightening.

The mid laners present were shocked by those words, and the three hosts and PDs were also shocked speechless. This was completely unexpected by the LCK program production team.

Since no one can catch Li Dao, let's just stop and let everyone take a rest and calm down.

Some people drank water, some touched up their makeup, and some went to the bathroom. The PD of the show put on headphones and watched the replay.

After several minutes, the PD burst out with a curse word: "Axi. It can obviously be used as a speech at the opening level of the global finals, but such good material, why does it appear so early? Hey Yigu, really yes."

Colleagues in the production team expressed their approval.

The script is only about 1/10 gone now, and we are just about to enter the official stage. If the words of the Free contestants are also placed in this position during the broadcast, what will happen later?

"Forget it, let's finish recording the show first. The contestants' time is precious, so don't waste it." After watching the interview again, the PD first sighed, then slightly modified the script, and then regrouped. got up.

Everyone returned to their original positions, and with the PD's "Action!", the recording of the program continued.

"Wow~ It seems that our free players are really impressed by Faker!" Jin Minna followed the script modified by PD, first applauded Li Dao to express her praise, and then raised her hand to gesture to Old Man Li: "Then our Player Faker is now the mid laner representative of the "LCK Unity Conference"~"

Then Faker simply delivered two "representative" remarks with elements of cold jokes, and the program entered the formal "game" session.

The staff gave each contestant a sketchbook. The next step was basically for the host to ask questions, and then the contestants wrote their answers on it, trying to make it as large as possible to fit into the camera.

"First question~" Jin Minna said in a lively and playful tone: "What do you think is the fundamental hero of the mid laner?"

Pei Huizhi and Cpt Jack joked and added: "You can't cheat by peeking at each other." "There is no standard answer to this question, just write down your own thoughts."

The contestants all lowered their heads and thought carefully about writing their answers. Li Dao also thought briefly.

What he can be sure of is that more than one person will give the answer to Orianna and Azir, and the show girl will definitely write Syndra, so if you want to get a shot of this question, you have to try to be different. Just fine.

So. What to write?

The contestants quickly wrote their answers. Under the urging of the three hosts, Li Dao was the last one to cap his pen and press the sketchbook against his chest.

"1, 2, 3~"

The contestants turned over their sketchbooks one after another and looked at each other to observe their answers.

As expected by Li Dao, among the 9 contestants other than him, 3 were answered with [Orianna] and 4 were answered with [Azir], and Xiumei indeed gave I asked [Syndra] as the answer.

Jin Mina read the players' answers from Faker: "Azir, Orianna, Azir, Syndra, Ori."

"Hahaha!" Before he finished reading, Pei Huizhi next to him laughed.

Because although Jin Minna pronounced "Oli", Faker's sketchbook clearly wrote "DUCK" - "Oli" and "DUCK" (duck) have the same pronunciation in Korean.

Jin Mina can pronounce "Oli" directly instead of "DUCK". She obviously understands Faker's homophonic jokes. But since the jokes are thrown out, someone has to pick them up, and Bae Huizhi's response in this regard is also very fast. , quickly responded to Faker’s homophonic joke with an aunty laugh.

Cpt Jack also suppressed his laughter and complained: "Hey Yigu, how old are you and you still make such homophonic jokes all day long? It's really..."

Lao Li Tou replied seriously: "Because Orianna is a hero that exists in S2 after all, and I feel that it is the closest to the basic (mid laner) hero, so I wrote this."

Then Cpt Jack asked Chovy why he chose Azir. Chovy's answer was that he felt that Azir was closer to the image of a mid laner - a desert emperor who conformed to the character of a "royal" mid laner.

Later, I asked Xu Xiu who chose Syndra alone. Xu Xiu said that Syndra is also a mid lane hero with a "royal" image, and mentioned by the way: "Although Syndra's early suppression power on the field It’s still very strong, but I feel like it’s been almost forgotten by everyone in the pub game, so I hope everyone will think of playing a game once in a while after seeing my promotion.”

It can be seen that Xu Xiu truly loves Syndra.

"Finally, I would like to ask the Free players." Jin Minna pointed to Li Dao's sketchbook and said: "Although other players have different answers, after all, they are all traditional mid-lane mages. Why did you choose Galio? "

Regarding this issue, the players on the field also looked curious.

Although there are a variety of heroes who can play in the middle position, and in a certain special period, assassin heroes were very popular, but after all, the traditional mage is more representative of the middle position.

And Galio, the hero, does not have the soul of the mid laner!
Li Dao smiled slightly: "What do you say about choosing Galio? Actually, I also very much agree that Orianna and Tsar are the fundamental heroes in the mid lane, but just like the ShowMaker players, for some other reasons, I think Galio should also have a place. "

"What's the reason?" Jin Minna started to praise.

"Because as the version continues to change, professional players have a deeper understanding of hero characteristics and ways to win games. In fact, it is becoming more and more difficult for the mid laner to produce a single kill during the laning period."

Having said this, the players present all nodded in unison, especially Faker, an old man who has been playing games since S3, who felt the most deeply.

When Faker first debuted, the concepts of roaming and split-pushing had not yet taken root in people's hearts. Online competition was very fierce, and there were many well-known solo kill scenes during the laning phase.

This situation has become less and less common in the past two years, because compared to the extremely high-risk solo laning period, the benefits of pulling the jungler together to capture human control resources are significantly higher and the risk is lower. Although online, especially in the middle lane, it is also There will be frequent blood exchanges, but they will basically never fight to the end without the participation of the jungler.

Li Dao explained sincerely to the camera: "So, I think heroes like Galio who pay more attention to roaming support are not as representative as Orianna and Azir, but these heroes are definitely mid laners. We must spend time to improve our proficiency and master the above to increase our tactical reserves.”

"Oh——!" Jin Minna took the lead in applauding and praised: "What you said is very insightful, Player Free. Maybe some of our other players will also agree with this view? What do Player Faker think?"

"Gui~" Lao Litou immediately sat up straight and said seriously: "As the competitive age increases, I really feel what the Free players said. Mage heroes are indeed the foundation of the mid lane, but so are heroes like Galio. It is very necessary to master it, otherwise it will not be enough to become an excellent mid-lane player.”

After speaking, Old Li Tou gave Li Dao a thumbs up. Although he is the main competitor in the league, and although his hands were shaking after being beaten by this young man in the World Championship, he still agrees with someone who already coincides with him. Concept, he still has this kind of mind.

"Thank you all the contestants for your insights. Now, let’s move on to the second question——"

Seeing PD making a gesture to move on to the next topic, Pei Huizhi immediately opened his mouth to control the situation, and Cpt Jack immediately took over the topic: "As a mid laner, among other positions, which position do you think requires the most effort?"

This time Li Dao is not going to make any mistakes. The main reason is that his effects so far can be said to be full. He will definitely be indispensable in the later scenes of the film, so he should take a short break and let other contestants be included in the shot. .

Definitely not afraid of being boycotted by the mid laners!
Among the 10 players, 5 were designated as junglers, 4 were designated as AD, and 1 was designated as support. Li Dao was the one among the junglers.

Choosing the jungle is the most understandable. After all, as a mid laner, the jungle position is the one that needs the most linkage.

As for Fly, the AFS player who chose the support, the reason he gave is: "When playing ranked, the most annoying thing is when the lane is good, and then the opponent's support suddenly wanders to the middle."

When asked why he chose AD, Faker's reason was: "When I was playing ranked, in addition to the opponent's support who would come to roam the middle, AD would always come over, and they would come regardless of whether they were well developed or not."

The whole audience burst into laughter, this wave, this wave is the daily ranked fan meeting.

In this question, the contestants all expressed their opinions and gave many interesting answers. Bae Huizhi, who had the least laugh, was so amused that she was out of breath and exclaimed that she was so happy.

Then Jin Minna asked a third question: "Do I (the player) like to be noticed? Please answer with O or X."

Li Dao honestly drew a big "O", while Old Man Li, who liked to make bad jokes, drew a small ".", but the funniest one was Xu Xiu, whose sketchbook read: A crossed-out "O" and an added "X".

Regarding the only "X", Cpt Jack's judgment is: "In my opinion, he actually wrote X because he wanted to be noticed."

Xu Xiu's answer was also very honest: "Yes, my guess was very accurate, because I guessed with high probability that the contestants would write O, and I wanted to be noticed, so I wrote X."

As expected of you, ShowMaker!

After the question-and-answer warm-up session, there is the "LCK Troubles Consultation Center". Each player will be given a card with the "troubles" collected by the program team from fans written on it. The players need to read the "troubles" Come out and give advice.

This session is more funny than the previous question and answer session, because it will have some interaction with fans who are "food and clothing parents", and the contestants will also provide some sincere suggestions while being funny, so it will appear warmer.

In the last session, naturally, several popular representatives gave their testimonials about participating in the recording of the "Mid Lane Unity Conference", saying, "It feels very interesting" and "I'm glad to have this opportunity to participate with everyone." Balabala.

After the recording of the program is over, according to the custom here in South Korea, there should actually be a party.

But after all, it was just a small network variety show that was expected to be no longer than 30 minutes. In addition, the guests were all professional players who needed to spend a lot of time practicing every day, so I gave up.

After confirming that there was no dinner party, Old Man Li, BDD, Chovy and other players who didn't bring anything with them got up and left immediately, and the others quickly packed their bags and left.

Li Dao also wanted to leave quickly, but the assistant brother said he was a little hungry and wanted to buy something to eat. He would also bring him a portion and asked him to wait for a while and come back to pick him up immediately.

As a result, Li Dao could only sit and play with his mobile phone.

A gust of fragrant wind blew, and Jin Minna sat next to him, smiling and saying, "Brother Li Dao, can my sister call you that in private?"

Li Dao's heart tightened, knowing that this sister was most likely really interested in him.

Frankly speaking, Jin Minna's conditions are actually very good, she is beautiful, intellectual and knows how to take care of others, at least that's what it seems on the surface.

But in the memory of her previous life, this sister had a "precedent" of molesting minors, and she was indeed a bit older. In 91, she was more than 11 years older than me. If that were true, I'm afraid she would be acting like a thief. ’s footsteps.

But even though I refused in my heart, this sister did take good care of herself, so it was not a big deal to recognize her as a sister.

With this in mind, Li Dao nodded and responded: "Okay, thank you Sister Minna for taking care of me today."

Hearing this "Sister Minna", Jin Minna smiled even more happily: "No, no, I also want to praise you for your good performance today! After this episode of "Unity Conference" is broadcast, I will definitely attract more people to you. Many fans.”

"By the way, the other players have gone back, why are you still here?"

Li Dao explained the reason to her.

"Ah~ I see, it's indeed dinner time now." Jin Minna thought thoughtfully, paused, and then said a little tentatively: "Perhaps, if brother Li Dao is willing, how about my sister treating you to a meal? "

Afraid of Li Dao's rejection, Jin Minna quickly found an excuse: "I originally made a reservation at a famous restaurant in Cheongdam-dong today with host Yin Soobin, but she suddenly had something to do tonight and couldn't make the appointment. I'm alone. It’s a waste to go, isn’t it?”

As Jin Mingna spoke, she brought her delicate face closer to her, pouting her lips in a requesting expression, which made it difficult for people to refuse.

Li Dao knew in his heart that Jin Minna might not have an appointment with Yin Xiubin at all, and she might not even have actually booked a seat at the so-called "famous restaurant" she mentioned.

The reason why she said this was simply to let herself relax her vigilance and agree to her invitation.

So. Go or not?
This is a problem.

　After thinking about it, in order to avoid being scolded, I decided to release the additional update as soon as possible. This chapter is an 8K chapter, which counts as two chapters. I still owe 6 updates, and there will be a normal update in the afternoon.
