The results of the ban-pick phase satisfied the enthusiasm of both the audience in the venue and those watching online. Many popular heroes in the current version were not banned for various reasons, leading to a representative selection of champions by the players.
Position over there picked up his most popular champion online, Annie.
Great God on this side was not to be outdone, bringing out his signature champion, Diana.
From the very beginning of the match, the mid-lane duel was where everyone's attention was focused. Both Position and Great God did not disappoint the viewers.
Both players opted for aggressive starting items instead of choosing potions with strong sustain. Their summoner spell choices were Flash and Ignite.
However, just when everyone thought that First Blood would erupt in the mid-lane, a kill sound came from the top lane.
IG's top lane capitalized on a vision advantage and, in conjunction with the jungle who had just finished taking Blue Buff, secured the first kill of the game.
While the audience was still immersed in the excitement of the top lane gank, a fierce clash finally erupted in the mid-lane between the two players.
However, the outcome was somewhat unexpected.
Gdv from Penguin Entertainment, with his agile positioning, used Ignite to finish off the low-health Position.
This was no light feat compared to the top lane's First Blood; after all, this was a genuine solo kill. No matter who came along, they would have nothing but respect for it.
When gdv's kill icon against Position lit up on the game interface, the Official livestream room on the streaming platform instantly erupted with excitement.
"What the hell? Who is this guy? He actually solo killed Position!"
"The Great God’s Crescent Moon is so fierce, managing to solo kill Position in one go."
"Let’s be reasonable here, Position didn’t even have a stun ready at that time."
"Stop whining so much, a solo kill is a solo kill. Position just can’t compete with Great God."
"…"
The players of the Goddess Alliance are still far from being loyal fans of any team. More often than not, they simply support whoever performs well.
Position had previously been hyped up by the media as the king of the LPL, and with Great God being a relatively unknown player, it was natural that no one expected much from Great God.
However, once that solo kill happened, although it didn’t shake Position’s status as the mid-lane king, it certainly boosted Great God’s reputation significantly.
At least now, no one would underestimate Great God anymore.
…
In Korea, at four in the afternoon, the SK training room was filled with team members gathered around Lee Sang-hyuk's computer, quietly watching the highly anticipated Opening Match.
Even though the LK League's Opening Match was about to start soon, neither Lee Sang-hyuk nor head coach Brother Li Hong had any intention of watching it.
Compared to the battle between IG and Penguin Entertainment, LK's Opening Match was clearly not worth their attention.
With such a lineup, SK was naturally striving for the World Championship. Lee Sang-hyuk wouldn’t miss this opportunity to observe their opponents; after all, in his mind, IG was always an insurmountable team.
Years later, Lee Sang-hyuk, having been reborn, naturally already knew the outcome of this match.
In his memory, the first match after IG was formed ended in an unprecedented defeat. That match also marked the rise of another mid-laner, Great God (gdv).
Unexpectedly, although time had shifted slightly, Position still faced Great God in his first professional League match.
The moment Lee Sang-hyuk saw Great God, he had already guessed the result of this match.
Unless something unexpected happened, gdv would undoubtedly crush Position, and IG would fall apart under the core's collapse.
"Seong-hyuk, who do you think will win?" Brother Li Hong asked quietly from behind Lee Sang-hyuk, holding a tactical notebook.
"Penguin Entertainment will win this match; they are likely to be one of the seed teams in LPL," Lee Sang-hyuk replied after a moment of consideration.
In his memory, IG's first professional season was lackluster. They barely secured a ticket to the World Championship through the playoffs.
However, once at the World Championship, IG seemed to be reborn, winning every battle on the global stage.
In the end, amidst countless gasps of surprise, IG lifted the Goddess Alliance S1 World Championship trophy.
Brother Li Hong frowned at this and curiously asked, "You favor Penguin Entertainment more?"
"No!"
Lee Sang-hyuk adjusted his glasses that had slipped down his nose and shook his head as he explained, "I actually have more faith in IG. They may not perform well in League, but once they reach the World Championship, they will be an unprecedented threat to us."
"Why?" several teammates asked in unison.
They were genuinely puzzled. Even though IG had a superstar mid-laner like Position, their other positions were simply too weak.
Compared to IG, it was clear that Penguin Entertainment posed a greater threat overall. They couldn't understand why Lee Sang-hyuk held such a high opinion of IG.
Coach Brother Li Hong glanced curiously at Lee Sang-hyuk and then frowned as he asked, "Are you saying that IG still has untapped potential?"
"Yes!"
Lee Sang-hyuk nodded and said, "It's obvious that IG hasn't found their footing yet. I don't deny that their other positions are strong. However, Goddess Alliance is a team game, and getting five players who are used to fighting solo to come together as one cohesive unit is not an easy task."
"Once they successfully navigate this dangerous period and the five players can blend together, they will become our formidable opponents."
Seeing Lee Sang-hyuk pinpoint the issues within IG so accurately, Brother Li Hong nodded appreciatively.
Then, amidst the wails of despair from the others, Brother Li Hong calmly stated, "Sang-hyuk is right; this is a team game. The mindset of fighting alone will only lead to failure. Therefore, to facilitate your integration, I have decided to extend training by three hours!"
"Oh no! Please, not that!"
"Brother Li Hong, don't do this! Five hours is already long enough; why extend it?"
"Come on, Brother Li Hong, you must be out of your mind!"
In this situation, the only two who did not complain about Brother Li Hong's decision were Lee Sang-hyuk and Bang.
Lee Sang-hyuk was pleased; after all, this was a good thing. Only by thoroughly integrating Everyone into SK could they have a slim chance of defeating IG.
If Lee Sang-hyuk's attitude was positive, then Bang represented complete negativity.
In his eyes, whether the training time was extended by three hours or thirty hours made no difference to him. He came to SK to play professionally; the amount of training time had nothing to do with him.
If he weren't worried about his teammates being unable to handle it, Bang would have suggested to Brother Li Hong that the time spent streaming ranked matches should also be converted into training time.
This way, he could become stronger and wouldn't fear any formidable opponents.
In Bang's heart, there was only one word: to become stronger!
