Chapter 467 This is the new generation of LCK!

He put on an elegant black suit, combed his hair like an adult, put on a burgundy tie, and straightened his cuffs in front of the mirror.

Xu Ruoguang, get ready to go.

Brother KKoma will accompany him today. He is also wearing a handsome suit and is waiting at the door.

And it’s not just KKoma, but also Canyon and Viper.

The three of them are all members of today's freshman challenge competition.

Yes, even though Canyon won the S8 world championship, he is still a rookie to the fullest.

The moment he saw Xu Ruoguang, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands.

"good."

Xu Ruoguang smiled restrainedly,

"Brother is also very handsome today."

"After all, I am a married person, and she insists on dressing me up, ugh."

Although he was sighing, the smile on KKoma's face never disappeared.

"Let's go, brother."

The four of them got on the UR club car and headed to the venue for the Freshman Challenge.

Freshman Challenge, an event that has never been held in the LCK before.

On the one hand, many teams at that time hid their valued newcomers and could not release them to play in such exhibition games.

On the other hand, the previous LCK president did not have this idea either.

But the current president, Lee Min-hyuk, is different after all. He has the decisiveness and control that the previous president did not possess.

Seizing the desire of LCK teams to occupy the popular time slots to attract traffic, we directly created the Freshman Challenge.

Different from the freshman challenges in later major regions, this LCK freshman challenge is extremely serious.

On the one hand, it represents interests, and on the other hand, this Freshman Challenge will directly determine who will be the most promising newcomer in S9 this year.

Each major team also did not hesitate to send out their own precious rookie players according to the positions allocated by the competition committee.

From the perspective of future generations, the players on both sides were undoubtedly luxurious.

The first is the Emporer team led by Xu Ruoguang.

Top laner, player from KZ, rascal.

This player is still relatively unknown now, but later on he has become a player that everyone has to call him brother when they see him.

Speaking of which, Gezi Ge is a player who has a bit of a bad streak.

When I was 16 years old, I played professionally for the first time and joined a team called YW. However, YW was disbanded three days later and all members left the team, which was also difficult.

What to do if there is no team?

At that time, the brother who was not wanted by anyone in the LPL or LCK was so worried that he gritted his teeth and became ruthless.

You don’t want me, right? I’m going to go to LJL [Japanese Division].

I joined a team called [Rascal Jester], and ended up returning to Korea within two months. However, in order to commemorate this not-so-good early career period, my brother’s ID, rescal, came from this.

After returning to South Korea, although after Khan was bought by SKT, Ge Zi Ge quickly succeeded in becoming the starting top laner, but another very unfortunate thing happened in the summer split.

In March of last year's Spring Split, he was banned from the game until July last year because of his high-pitched remarks about the suicide of former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun.

Now she can really be called a newcomer, a true star chosen by heaven.

The jungler is a newcomer from KT, pyosik, who was originally a player who debuted early in the S8LCK internal talent selection.

He also played in last year's Spring Split, but his performance was not very good. Although the rhythm was good, as a jungler, he often failed to win as a key punishment player. As a result, he was directly demoted by KT after the S8 Summer Split last year. As a result, he was transferred to the Development League.

Played pretty well again.

That's why KT is ready to give him another chance in S9 this year.

The mid laner is a newcomer from LCK's dark horse team Griffin. He has shown potential just after his debut last year, chovy.

AD, the new AD from SKT, Gumayusi.

This is a new AD AD who just joined SKT a few days ago after finishing S8. However, because his brother is a famous professional player and his own talent is indeed excellent, even if he only joined not long ago, he still gets

He gained SKT's attention and let him participate in the Rookie Challenge.

Support, the new support player from the Samsung team, Life.

This...forget it, there is no need to introduce him since he was born.

As for the opponent, Faker, the people he leads should not be underestimated either.

Top laner, the new top laner who plays on behalf of AFS, kiin.

This player actually made his debut in EEW, which does not technically count as his first year.

But because EEW was so rubbish, it was directly relegated to the Korean Development League after S7. In a sense, Kiin was only in his first year in AFS in S8, and he could barely meet the standards of a newcomer.

Jungler, the new jungler from UR, Canyon.

Although he is said to be the world champion jungler who was just released last year, Canyon can really be regarded as a solid rookie jungler in the LCK, and he has only played for one year.

...and then win the championship directly.

Naturally, the mid laner cannot be Xu Xiu.

If Xu Xiu and Canyon play mid-jungle in this freshman challenge, then others will really stop playing. This mid-jungle pair is one of the top mid-jungle pairs in the world right now, and one of them can even be eliminated.

The mid laner is the new mid laner from the KT team, Ucal.

KT valued Ucal very much. When he joined KT in 2017, he was not yet 17 years old. Then when he turned 17, KT immediately put him on the roster to serve as Pawn's substitute.

Last year in S8, Ucal did realize some talents and played very well during the period when Pawn had to be treated for his injury.

AD, of course, is the newcomer AD, viper, who represents UR.

Griffin was one of the four kings last year.

After all, it is common knowledge that there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings.

LCK officials also had to take the situation of GRF into consideration. The other position allocated to UR was AD, so UR sent viper, which also helped GRF occupy a spot.

As for the final support, it is naturally SKT’s newcomer support, Effort.

This player is currently playing in the bottom lane with the captain of the Air Force who has transferred to SKT.

The lineups of both sides are as follows:

Xu Ruoguang Team: Top laner Rascal

jungle pyosik

mid laner chovy

AD Gumayusi

Auxiliary Life

Team Faker: Top laner Kiin

Jungle Canyon

Mid laner Ucal

AD Viper

Auxiliary Effort

The lineups on both sides are actually pretty good.

From the perspective of future generations, except for the two assistants who may not be particularly eye-catching, the other players are basically top-notch, and there are many top-level players.

This is the foundation of LCK now.

Although S6 and S7 were defeated by K1 and IP led by Xu Ruoguang, LCK has never been willing to fail. Each club's youth training has been very successful and has been committed to discovering new talented players.

And now, this group of still somewhat immature players has also stepped onto the stage of S9's Freshman Challenge.

It shouldn't be too far away from the day when some of their players who haven't officially competed yet will enter the arena.

"It's so big."

This was Xu Ruoguang’s first impression when he came to the scene.

The Freshman Challenge will be held at the Vase Seoul Art Arena in Seoul. It is much larger than the venue of previous competitions, almost the same size as the LPL venue.

This is not ironic. You must know that the LPL venues have always been the largest among all competition regions, such as LCKLEC, and the venues are generally not big.

Chairman Lee Min Hyuk, who was coordinating the scene, naturally saw the UR group coming to the scene and walked over with a smile.

"Ruoguang, you are still very handsome today."

I always praise him when he opens his mouth. This president seems to be very approachable.

"You look very handsome too, President Li."

Xu Ruoguang nodded slightly and thanked,

"Thank you for your previous statement to protect me."

In the finals, Xu Ruoguang stepped on Teng Jing's face hard.

However, after the game, LCK officials took the initiative to take the blame and directed the pressure of public opinion onto them.

This is indeed worthy of Xu Ruoguang's gratitude.

"This is what it should be. If you are willing to trust us in the LCK, we will naturally protect an outstanding player like you."
