Chapter 23: Even the army needs fine salt; I hope you keep your word! [Requesting monthly votes and
Looking at the few people standing there like telephone poles, Lee Doo-hwan didn't say anything, but simply found a place to sit down.
Lee Doo-hwan has been back in the club for a while now, and during that time he has gotten a pretty good grasp of the team's current situation.
Although the system is unreliable, one statement is very true.
The team is currently riddled with problems, disunited at all levels, and beset by internal and external troubles!
Many teams outside are thinking of crushing the three-time champions, but some people inside are only thinking about how to engage in power struggles and consolidate their own power!
For example, Kim Jung-soo, who was new to the area.
Of course, the fact that he dared to cause trouble as soon as he arrived must have been tacitly approved by the management.
If you say the management knew nothing about these things that harm the organization/team, even a fool wouldn't believe it.
In other words, the current situation in T1 is very clear.
To put it bluntly, the new T1 management team, which has just invested funds, doesn't want to continue investing too much money and energy in the older generation of SKT members.
With no championships in recent years, coupled with the LPL's consecutive victories and phenomenal marketing, they felt that Lee Sang-hyeok had lost his usefulness.
After all, capital is not a benevolent entity; it only cares about profits.
However, they cannot simply kick Lee Sang-hyeok out right now, because that would cause both public opinion and the fan economy to collapse instantly, and they still need him to stabilize the situation.
That's why Lee Joo-hyun and his group of substitutes were promoted, with the aim of gradually replacing Lee Sang-hyeok's position in the team in subsequent matches.
This made the fans who supported him feel that Lee Doo-hwan, Lee Sang-hyeok, and the other members of the old SKT team were no longer good enough and should retire from the esports scene.
When the time is right, it will be natural to take its place.
In this way, they can successfully cultivate their own people, inherit the honor and fans of the old SKT, and no longer have to spend so much money to support Lee Doo-hwan, Lee Sang-hyeok and other old SKT people. It can be said to be killing three birds with one stone!
"interesting!"
Thinking of the famous palace intrigue incident in T1 in his previous life, Lee Doo-hwan's lips curled up in a smile.
His smile immediately made the others feel uneasy.
After spending these past few days together, Jin Zhangdong and his group realized that this senior must have something wrong with his head.
Don't be fooled by his friendly banter one second; he might just slap you across the face the next!
Especially after the initial confrontation between Lee Doo-hwan and Kim Jung-soo, the members of the "new gang" who witnessed the whole process all had a hint of fear in their eyes.
This guy isn't even afraid of Coach Kim!!!
Seemingly noticing the gazes of his juniors, Lee Doo-hwan also glanced in their direction.
This glance made Kim Jang-dong, who had also made a mistake in the training match against Samsung and was now silent with fear, suddenly feel a jolt in his heart.
Family members, I have a question.
The room is well-heated, but I suddenly feel a bit uneasy. What's wrong with me?
Waiting online, very anxious! ! !
……
Since it's a palace intrigue, the entire group will inevitably split into two factions.
It seems that I, as a senior, need to have a serious discussion about life with these juniors!
Find out who they are truly loyal to, and most importantly, get rid of those fickle people who support whoever wins!
Having made up his mind, Lee Doo-hwan's sunny face broke into an extremely bright smile, and then he slowly began to speak.
"Zhangdong, as a top laner, do you think you played well in that scrim?"
Kim Chang-dong: "..."
He glanced at Li Xianghao, who was still wiping away tears with red eyes, swallowed hard, and quickly begged for mercy.
"Brother Douhuan, I promise, I promise I won't make the same mistake again!"
"Okay! I'll trust you for now, but don't let me down!" Lee Doo-hwan said with a smile.
Just as Kim Chang-dong breathed a sigh of relief at not having to be bombarded with keyboards, he saw Lee Doo-hwan, who had just been smiling and saying he believed in him, suddenly transform into a ruthless man.
"But there's something I need to tell you guys: practice matches are still matches. If you can't maintain consistent discipline in practice matches, do you think you can immediately correct it in a match?"
I'm very disappointed with your performance in today's practice match!
In my opinion, Sang-hyeok has been spoiling you guys too much. From today onwards…”
Just as Lee Doo-hwan was instructing the younger generation, Jung Hoi-yoon walked in from outside.
Seeing Lee Doo-hwan sitting there, with Koo Sung-bin sitting next to him, and the juniors in front of them standing obediently with their heads down in a row, he took a deep breath.
In fact, he had already anticipated this scene when he invited Lee Doo-hwan back.
He just didn't expect that Lee Doo-hwan would be able to find his former self so quickly!
You said you've been away from the team for three years, yet you're still so proficient in your previous skills.
Could there really be geniuses?!
"Doo-hwan, it'll be the K-cup in a couple of days, what are your thoughts?"
The K Cup, also known as Kespa, is comparable to the Demacia Cup in the LPL region.
It was created to make up for the lack of competitions, but also to avoid wasting bandwidth.
This also gives the new team a chance to gel in the new season.
However, most teams will choose to take this opportunity to train their second team or substitutes.
Lee Doo-hwan had no intention of participating, so he spoke up.
"This kind of competition is too low-level. Let these younger players go up there and practice!"
"Alright then." Jung Hoi-yoon nodded after hearing this, then looked at Lee Sang-hyeok, "Sang-hyeok, are you going up and fight?"
"No need, just let these guys go up."
Before Lee Sang-hyeok could speak, Lee Doo-hwan made the decision for him.
So Zheng Huirun didn't say anything more. After reminding the others to work hard, he turned and left.
After he left, Lee Doo-hwan, who was sitting in a chair, tapped on the table.
His intention was to draw the attention of others.
As it turned out, Cuzz must have misunderstood him. He very considerately picked up the teapot next to him and filled the teacup in front of Lee Doo-hwan.
This left Lee Doo-hwan speechless; all he could do was sigh.
"You're a tough guy, you're destined for great things. I'm rooting for you!"
"Doo-hwan is my life goal!!!"
"Alright, let's do our best in this K Cup and try to win the championship."
As you know, SKT has won league championships, MSI championships, and even S championships.
The only thing I haven't gotten yet is the K-cup. Although this reward isn't important, it's better to have something than nothing!
Yuzan, are you confident you can bring the championship back?
"have!!!"
Seeing Cuzz's firm and resolute answer, Lee Doo-hwan nodded in satisfaction.
Ok……
This kid seems to be a real fan of mine.
Since they are his own fans, they naturally stand on the side of the old SKT!
"Why aren't the rest of you saying anything? Don't you have confidence in winning the K-Cup this time?" Lee Doo-hwan then looked at Lee Joo-hyun, Kim Chang-dong, and Lee Sang-ho.
When asked, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.
To be honest, even in a low-level competition, no one can guarantee a win!
But if you dare to say you lack confidence...
The group of people looked at the keyboard in Lee Doo-hwan's hands and immediately felt overwhelmed.
"I have confidence!"
"I guarantee I'll get it!"
Several people made guarantees in succession.
Lee Doo-hwan also put down his keyboard and stood up from his chair.
"Good! Even the army needs fine salt; I hope you'll keep your word!"
