LOL: Reborn in Season 3, Taming Lee Sang-hyeok

Chapter 83 We have a car now!

The 0GN competition will resume on April 13th.

SSR finally gets its first match after receiving investment and being renamed.

As a crucial battle that has garnered immense attention, we must win decisively today to ensure a steady stream of funding from future investors!

The SSR team opened the glass door of the base. Under the mental inertia of the long competition, they lowered their heads and subconsciously walked towards the subway station not far from the base.

But this time, Li Zhixing didn't lead the way. Instead, he stopped right at the base entrance and asked with a smile, "Where are you all going?"

Everyone turned around and were slightly taken aback.

Beside Li Zhixing, a white Mercedes-Benz Viano was parked steadily. As a mid-to-large MPV bearing the Mercedes-Benz logo, its price was destined to be high, at least in terms of features that other teams could not afford.

The car has now been completely transformed into an SSR model, with a nine-seat version and the SSR team logo and Samsung logo prominently displayed on the body.

Jinro, AfreecaTV, and JinAir, three major sponsors, were also present, with their logos printed on both sides of the vehicle, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"oh!"

Kim Hyuk-kyu's eyes widened, and he rushed out first, circling the car twice. "Hyung! Is this our car?"

"Of course." Li Zhixing smiled and opened the sliding door. "Get in, you won't have to squeeze onto the subway anymore."

"good!"

The group filed in, their eyes lighting up when they saw the interior!

The off-white leather seats, while not exactly soft, were a blessing compared to the hard seats on the subway.

The car has a spacious interior; once you sit down, there's even enough room to fit a backpack containing a mouse and keyboard.

Zhao Shiheng sat by the window and stretched comfortably: "Ah, this is so comfortable!"

This is the nth time Zhao Shiheng has exclaimed: Joining this club was absolutely the right decision!

After all, he had ridden in the MVP team car, which was a modern nine-seater MPV. Although both were nine-seaters, the interior space and the comfort of sitting down were completely incomparable!

Is a modern car half the price of a Mercedes?

The team bus crossed the streets of Gangnam District in Seoul and arrived at the competition venue in Yongsan District. The SSR members went upstairs through the backstage passage and quickly sat down in the lounge.

There is still half an hour left before the start of the match.

With their new team cars, the RISE team looked smug and full of confidence for the upcoming races.

So what if it's SKT? They're a defeated opponent, we can beat them easily!

Amidst the jubilant atmosphere, only two people have remained silent.

One of them is Ma, the starting mid laner today, who is going to teach Lee Sang-hyeok how to play the mid lane.

Ma Yingdong felt so nervous about the upcoming match that his body went limp and his hands and feet trembled.

Can I really beat Dade?

He's still in the top ten of the Korean server. Every time I'm matched with him in ranked games, I feel immense pressure and can't beat him at all!

He wanted to back down, but Li Zhixing completely ignored him.

The other one is today's substitute mid-laner, Lee Sang-hyeok.

Sang-hyeok's face has been pale ever since he left the base today.

Hmph, and they even made me a substitute.

I'll see how well you guys fight without me!

At this moment, the camera in the live broadcast room is panning across the scene.

The audience seats were already packed.

The level of attention today's match is undeniable; both at the match venue and in the live broadcast rooms of various platforms, the level of interest has exploded.

"Ah, the match is about to begin!" In the commentary booth, the "Roaring Emperor" smiled broadly: "SKT vs. RI...SSR! An absolutely crucial match!"

The director happened to bring up the team standings, which clearly showed the rankings for the regular season.

Among them, RISE, which has been renamed SSR, is currently at the top of the standings with an astonishing 6-0 score and remains undefeated!

KT, with a score of 5-1, followed closely behind.

It may seem like there's only a big difference, but if you look at the total points, you can see the gap between the two teams.

RISE is 12-1, having lost only one game so far, with a net winning streak of eleven.

In contrast, KT fared much worse, with a net score of 11-4 and a paltry seven wins.

"But that's not the scariest part," Kim Dong-jun interjected. "The scariest part is that the Spring Split is only halfway through, and RISE has already almost wiped out all the top teams..."

"7

KT's winning streak has a strong element of dominating weaker teams; they haven't faced teams like CJ or MVP yet.

In comparison, SSR is much more valuable. After SKT finishes today's match, the top teams on the list will be crushed by RISE!

If the top teams can't stop RISE, then the teams behind them certainly can't either!

At this moment, the camera shifts to the players' rest area.

On SKT's side, several people were arguing incessantly about their coach, Kkoma.

Although there was no sound, their tension was evident to the naked eye.

They were naturally nervous, after all, they had been thoroughly defeated by RISE in training matches.

In an official match, facing a weakened SSR team, it would be unacceptable to lose.

At this moment, countless viewers in the live stream were simply amused.

SKT played against a newly promoted OGN team, and surprisingly, it was SKT who were nervous?

However, considering the popularity and strength of both teams, this is not surprising.

The break passed quickly, and the contestants from both sides took turns on stage, guided by the host.

"First up is the blue team in the first game: SK Telecom!"

'

"Top laner Marin, jungler Bengi, mid laner Dade, bot laner Bang, support Wolf!"

"And then it's the red team: SAMSUNGRISE!"

"Top laner Looper, jungler Neo! Mid laner Horse, bot laner Deft, support Mata!"

A roar of cheers erupted from the audience.

As the first team in OGN to receive investment from Samsung, this in itself represents a certain level of prestige.

Although this may sound abstract, it is indeed true.

After all, Samsung's status in South Korea is beyond doubt; it is practically an iconic national conglomerate.

In addition, the appearance of the team's chef and substitute mid-laner was quite eye-catching.

After both players took their seats, commentators Jeon Yong-jun and Kim Dong-jun took the opportunity during the final preparation time to analyze the draft picks and bans.

"It's actually a good thing that SKT is on the blue side, since the blue side has an extra right to pick first, which might save the team a ban slot?"

"However, after SSR was replaced with a new mid laner, SKT doesn't seem to have much pressure on bans, because they don't know much about Horse yet."

1

"Yes, Neo will definitely have a tough time today. Without Faker sharing the ban load, he'll definitely have a lot of jungle champions banned..."

'

The two commentators' deductions in this regard are correct.

After all, everyone understands that without a mid-laner, SSR's jungler will definitely be under pressure, and it's normal for them to have four or five junglers banned, just like in the previous match against KT.

Soon, BP began.

As the two commentators predicted, the outcome was exactly as they expected.

Even during the ban phase, SKT demonstrated extremely strong targeting.
