Chapter 31: SKT Ten-Year Head Coach!

~7 min read 1,251 words

Chasing the wind, even if the path ahead in the clouds falls, it turns into countless meteors that dye the sky red.

Splitting the firmament, the fluttering light feathers will also cross; ten thousand li of clear sky, basking in a golden bronze body!

The final movement, the oath will shine brightly in the wind... and blossom!

The voices of No State and Rookie rise, echoing in the base.

The song titled "And Follow the Swift Wind" is the latest MSI expedition theme song officially released by the LPL.

In less than a day, Xu Dongmen's ears were practically growing calluses from listening; he felt the whole world was playing this song.

The melody is good, and Cookie's vocals are also not bad.

The two had already recorded a song "Hero" for MSI last year, and EDG, who represented LPL in the expedition that year, lived up to expectations and won the inaugural MSI championship.

This year, continuing this segment represents a beautiful hope and wish for the entire region.

QG carries this wish!

"Why is it always them two singing? I also sing quite well, why doesn't the official come find me?"

Da B wore an unconvinced expression, jealousy making his face unrecognizable.

We're all top-tier mids; is my Jin Gu Gu any worse than theirs?

"Ying Bi Ge, how does your singing compare to Melan's?" Xu Dongmen asked casually, knowing the other was streaming for show effect.

"Who is Melan?"

Doinb still thought it was some singer, confidently replying: "Surely I'm awesome; if you don't believe me, I'll perform T-ara's NO. 9 live, and I'll also do their stool dance."

"Sorry, sorry to disturb." Xu Dongmen hurriedly shouted to stop.

Once this guy goes crazy, nobody will want to train.

Putting on his headphones, Xu Dongmen continued to play ranked.

Since setting a small goal, his ranked score has been rising at over a hundred points per day; in just three days he leapt to 900 points, as if riding a rocket.

What's important is that this is purely personal strength, with no buff bonuses.

When he first arrived, he was somewhat unaccustomed; after all, the version gap was too great, so his climbing speed was relatively slow, he didn't play very seriously, and his ranked performance was fairly average.

After adapting to the version, he began to thrive like a fish in water!

After all, he is a transmigrator; these things that seem new to others he has already experienced once, now just picking them up again, so he picks them up very quickly.

At the same time, it must be said that high-intensity competition brings enormous improvement to professional players.

Xu Dongmen has played in LDL for many years, but what he has gained feels less than what he has gained in this past month.

In other words, even without triggering the mark, his current strength is stronger than ever before.

"The better one's foundation, the greater the bonus gained!"

Xu Dongmen understood this very clearly.

With the big-match player marker, the training effect he receives can be said to be several times, even tens of times, that of others.

Absolutely, achieving twice the result with half the effort!

"Hahaha, finally reached 1000 points!"

Xu Dongmen opened the ranking list, happily took a screenshot and posted it to his Moments.

This is the first time in his life he has reached a thousand points on Ionia!

After seeing his Moments, the whole team up and down felt it was unbelievable.

No, how could this guy be more excited about reaching a thousand points than winning a championship?

Even if he's first in the national server, there's no need for this, right?

"Weirdo, truly a weirdo." Stain complained.

Da B then showed it to the livestream fans: "Brothers, I'll show you Dongmen's Moments he just posted; he didn't post when he won the championship, but posted after a ranked game—I don't know what he means."

【Lovely】

【Hahaha, XDM is really fun, also likes using the soldier smoking emoticon】

【What is a childlike heart? Even after winning the championship, still not arrogant or impatient; LPL players should watch and learn well!】

【Is this the youngest LPL champion? He really is, I'm dying (crying)】

【Please, can the streamer push Dongmen's WeChat to me? I'll gift you a hundred planes!】

【Ladies, Dongmen's avatar is too good-looking!】

【Absolutely, really good-looking to the point of stomping my feet; I won't say more, look, I'll make a couple's avatar with a gust suction】

【Help, XDM handsome me to the point of a nosebleed……】

…………

May Day arrived, and the weather also became hot.

During the short holiday, major cities across the country were crowded with people; everywhere you looked were tourists.

As an international metropolis, Shanghai's streets were even more packed with shoulders rubbing, crowds like woven.

May 2, the QG team checked into the Shangri-La Hotel located on the Huangpu River bank.

Along with them, there were also five champion teams from the other five regions.

North American Spring Champion, CLG

European Spring Champion, G2

LCK Spring Champion, SKT

LMS Spring Champion, Flash Wolves

IWC Wild Card Champion, SUP

That evening, everyone mutually arranged practice matches.

The first night, QG arranged a practice match with Flash Wolves.

Everyone spoke Chinese, making communication very convenient.

After an evening of practice matches, both sides were roughly 6-4.

QG won a bit more, but the Flash Wolves are not weak either.

The next day, Xu Dongmen and the others met with Europe's New King G2.

Compared to expectations, the practice match against G2 was much simpler, with a larger advantage, and they played very relaxed.

On the third day, during the day they scrimmed with a wildcard team from Turkey, and in the evening came the main event.

SKT!

Compared to the practice match before the Spring Finals, this time QG managed to save face.

If the previous match was a 2-8 split, now they can almost achieve a 4-6 split.

"Teacher, is it just my imagination, or does SKT's condition seem much worse than before the Spring Finals?" The coach in charge of training, Cui Jiaolian, discovered Mao Ni.

"Looking at the practice match content, there is indeed a decline, but one cannot deny that they are still very strong."

Pu Longyun pushed up his glasses, a glint flashing in his eyes: "At least we now have a chance to beat them; if it were the state before the Spring Finals, in a BO5 we could win at most one game, and we might even get swept 3-0."

"Yeah, that's right."

Cui Jiaolian nodded: "Right, Teacher, I met Brother Zhengjun in the hallway today; he asked me to pass along your greetings. Since we're now opponents, to avoid suspicion he can only come visit after the match ends."

The Jin Zhengjun he mentioned is SKT's head coach KkOma, who looks like Wang Leehom, that guy.

"No need."

Pu Longyun waved his hand: "Even if we were to visit, it should be me visiting him; although I've been at the telecom longer than him, in League of Legends I'm still just a newcomer compared to Zhengjun, not worth mentioning."

"Teacher, you're too humble." Cui Jiaolian was quite surprised.

As everyone knows, Korea is a country that places great emphasis on seniority and rank; in any industry, they stress the order of arrival.

In this regard, ten KkOmas still can't match one Pu Longyun.

After all, the latter served as SKT's head coach for a full ten years!
