Chapter 65: Behind every outrageous rule often lies something even more outrageous! [Please read on,
[Even the referees came forward to vouch for him!? I seriously suspect this guy had a great time drinking with Pupu!]
[Damn, I thought Huan's return not only saved T1's performance on the field, but also their food, right?]
[If you don't understand, is it illegal to drink during a competition?]
[It has to be Puff! He didn't get dizzy after drinking and still managed to dominate the opponent. Only he could do that in the entire League of Legends!]
To put it bluntly, isn't this also a unique way of being the number one player in League of Legends?
If that's what you mean, then I'll have to tell you the story of the number one person in the Void!
[My brother Huan also deserves credit, okay! As we all know, the side effect of a streamer drinking too much is that he becomes extremely excited, but with Brother Huan by his side, he perfectly suppressed the side effects, making him behave obediently.]
[Got it, my Huan-ge is the remote control for the vibrator. As long as he doesn't mess around, the mouse will never get excited!!!]
……
When the referee vouched for him with his professional career, and T1 released information about Koo Sung-bin's daily life at the training base, the troublemakers were stunned.
The competition did not prohibit professional players from drinking alcohol.
That's because anyone knows that if professional players drink alcohol, the alcohol will numb their nerves during the game, causing their reaction speed to slow down.
And reaction speed is precisely one of the core abilities of esports players!
You could let Lee Doo-hwan or Lee Sang-hyeok down two or three bottles of beer, and when they're playing, their brains might get foggy and they'll lose their focus.
But who the hell would have thought that such an unconventional genius would emerge in the prestigious League of Legends world!
While others get tipsy after drinking, he gets even more aggressive the more he drinks!
You can't find a situation like this even in other esports, let alone League of Legends!
It's important to know that professional athletes in South Korea have a very high status, equivalent to athletes in traditional sports, and even surpassing celebrities and idols!
Although Gu Shengbin's behavior was not against the rules, it still had some negative impact.
Therefore, the LCK officials had no choice but to temporarily add a written rule: no drinking during halftime of a match; if you must drink, you can drink after the match.
Of course, smoking during halftime is fine, since smoking won't affect your complexion or anything.
Once this regulation was announced, everyone was on edge.
……
[Oh no, this is terrible! The streamer is being targeted by the official channels!!!]
[Wow, that's awesome! Others might be targeted by the game version, but he's being targeted by the official developers – that's unprecedented!]
Today, I finally truly understand the meaning of that saying: behind every outrageous rule lies an even more outrageous story!
[Damn it, what professional player can go on a rampage after drinking during a match? It's a miracle they didn't start acting out in the middle of the game!]
[Damn it, the official website of GouDuo is deliberately targeting my PuPu, isn't it? They didn't forbid other people from drinking it; other people can drink it too!]
[Exactly! As a professional player, you need to be versatile. What kind of professional gamer can't even hold their liquor?!]
[PuPu has suffered an epic nerf. If they ban 80s too, won't my Huan-ge also be relegated to the bottom tier?]
Guess why my brother Huan returned to LCK from LPL? Mainly because there's no hierarchy there, so even with all that skill, he couldn't fully utilize it!
……
When this regulation was released, Koo Sung-bin was having dinner at the time and received the notification, which made him feel incredibly unlucky.
Aishobashi!
The version change is supposed to apply to everyone, but this explicit rule is clearly only targeting me!
Is this even something a human being would do?!
I did drink, but it didn't affect the game or anyone else!
"well……"
After letting out a deep sigh, Gu Shengbin picked up the bottle on the table and gulped it down.
This left the referee, whom he had pulled over for a drink, completely dumbfounded.
"Pfft, take it easy, there's a competition tomorrow!" But as soon as he said that, he felt incredibly awkward.
It's one thing to give advice like that to others, but what this person in front of me is saying...
The more he drank, the harder he beat!
Where can you even begin to reason with this?!
……
"Brother, don't say anything, let's have a drink together!"
As he spoke, Gu Shengbin picked up his glass and pulled the referee along, and the two of them clinked glasses together.
This left Lee Doo-hwan and Lee Sang-hyeok speechless.
The other party is the referee, so strictly speaking, the two sides are "hostile". But now, over this period of time, he has been corrupted by Koo Sung-bin with alcohol.
After the two clinked glasses and drank it all, Gu Shengbin couldn't help but say, "Referee, why don't you join our team and become part of the training group? Otherwise, I won't be without anyone to drink with on weekdays!"
"By the way, referee, what's your name again? My memory's a bit fuzzy."
"Well, you can just call me Xiao Jie." The referee coughed.
"And your last name?"
"Park..."
Upon hearing this, Lee Sang-hyeok, who was eating, almost burst out laughing, but he had to hold it in to avoid embarrassing the referee.
……
Seeing Lee Sang-hyeok's expression, Koo Sung-bin's eyes widened. "Sang-hyeok, what's wrong with you? It's just a name, it doesn't mean my brother is really that kind of person!"
After saying that, he picked up another beer and poured the other person a full glass. "Brother Douhuan is my big brother, and Brother Jie, you'll be my second brother from now on!"
Come on, let's not drink alcohol, just have a drink, brothers!
……
The playoffs continued for the remainder of the season.
Although drinking was prohibited during the course, which made Gu Shengbin a little uncomfortable, it shouldn't have a significant impact on his performance.
However, as the playoffs progressed in best-of-five series, some of T1's problems became apparent.
It's important to understand that BO5 and BO3 are essentially two different games, so some minor issues that existed in BO3 will be magnified in BO5.
The current T1 team's mid, jungle, and AD carry are clearly outmatched by the top and support players.
To put it bluntly, if the maximum score is 10, then the mid, jungle, and AD carry would get 10 points, while the top and support brothers would get 5 points, and that would also depend on their performance on the day.
If you're not in good form, sometimes even five points might not be enough!
However, no matter what, Lee Sang-ho is always a support player.
It's not that the support role doesn't require skill, it's just that the skill requirements for support are far less than for other roles!
Furthermore, the bottom lane is a duo lane, and during the laning phase, Gu Shengbin can rely on his own strength to cover for him and make up for any mistakes he makes in the bottom lane.
If you give him a support like Titan, it doesn't matter whether he dies in team fights or not, because at least you can guarantee that his ultimate will still have some effect.
Therefore, T1 can still accept and handle some of the disadvantages of support.
But it's a different story with Kim Jang-dong, who can travel the road.
