The invasion of Korean players onto the Ionia server was technically Lin Fengs fault. But the more accurate statement was CNHOOK2s fault. Because there were very few people who knew that Lin Feng was, in fact, CNHOOK2.
The reason for this invasion started two days ago, when Lin Feng used the CNHOOK2 to climb up the Korean Challenger Ladder. He eventually managed to climb into the Top 5 after a final game victory over Orion, one of the top Korean pro players. As far as China was concerned, CNHOOK2s climb was a huge source of pride. But on the flip side, it was a mark of shame and humiliation for the Korean players. Many of whom could not let such an insult go unanswered, especially not when Chinese players proudly boasted about how things were finally turning around and that there was now someone who could break Korean domination in League of Legends.
The Korean League of Legends players had a completely different perspective on CNHOOK2s climb. As they saw it, the entire climb was dishonest and CNHOOK2 deserved none of the accolades hed been receiving from the League community. From their point of view, CNHOOK2 only managed to get into the Top 5 through a combination of luck and cheap tricks. It all boiled down to when the climb started, which was hours before the ranked ladder reset. By that time, the Season 5 ranked rewards had already been given out and most players on the Korean server were not paying attention to the rankings anymore. Most of the top Challengers didnt even log on that night, because there was simply no point in doing so. And that meant that CNHOOK2 never faced the true Challengers of the Korean server on his climb into the Top 5.
There was also the matter of CNHOOK2s victory over Orion to consider. There was no doubt that Orion was a truly skilled player and one of the best currently active in the Korea region. But the fact that someone completely unknown came into the server from China and beat him in a game, that was something that many Korean players could not believe happened without some mitigating circumstances at play. And what they believed was that Orion was only beaten because he was careless and not taking the fight against CNHOOK2 seriously. Orions lack of focus and a bit of luck managed to put CNHOOK2 in a position where he won that game. Therefore, no one on the Korean server considered it to be a legitimate victory. Because, as far as they were concerned, it was completely based on luck! On any other day, they saw no possibility of CNHOOK2 getting into the Top 5 on their server. Nor did they think he could win against Orion, a King, in a rematch.
But all that justification and analysis could not change the fact that the Korean players had to see CNHOOK2s name on their Challenger leaderboard. Just sitting there in 4th place. It infuriated and incensed them just looking at it, and every time it got mentioned was further salt in the wound. Something had to be done, their anger needed an outlet. So they decided to band together and avenge this insult to their honor!
The plan started out simple. Many of the top Korean players had accounts on the Chinese server, just like many of the top Chinese players had accounts on the Korean server. Initially, they wanted to go in and find CNHOOK2, show him what it really meant to fight against Korean Challengers. So they jumped into the Ionia server, ready to hunt down CNHOOK2. Unfortunately, very few of them had accounts on the Chinese server that were in Master or Challenger. They spent more time playing on their Korean accounts than their alt accounts on Ionia. That was where the plan started to go a little sideways. But more than enough of the Korean players who invaded the Ionia server had accounts that theyd gotten to Platinum and Diamond. So they decided they would vent their fury on any and all Chinese players they could find!
All of this led up to the moment where Lin Feng bumped into so many oddly named players who were significantly better than what their rank suggested while he was playing on Su Xues account today. There were more than a few viewers who started investigating the disturbance long before Lin Feng even brought it up, and theyd pieced together the chain of events from various sources. The chat collectively explained the situation to Lin Feng and he said, Ooooh! So thats whats going on here? Then he looked at his screen pensively for a couple of seconds before breaking out into a beaming smile. He exclaimed, Well, this sounds like a lot of fun!
Lin Feng wasnt just playing up the situation for the viewers on the stream. He genuinely did not care that it was happening at all, and he wasnt even slightly bothered by it. Hah! I was playing and winning against Korean Challengers just the other night. I spent the whole night doing that. Now that Im rested and ready to go this is nothing! Actually this is a pretty good surprise now that I think about it. I can get in more practice against Korean players while Ive got a good ping! If fate is going to throw a bunch of Koreans right at me, then Im going to make the most of it! Time to show them that Im really good, too!

Alright, lets do this! Lin Feng declared to the stream as he cracked his knuckles. Before long, he found a game and entered Champion Select. He was on the Red Team, and waiting to select his Champion. He glanced at the two teams and noticed the name of the player on the Blue Team who locked in on Yasuo. It was KRCOFF. Before Lin Feng could say anything about this, the viewers flooded the chat with their own analysis.
Another Korean player!
No shit! Even an idiot can tell with the KR In his name!
hes playing Yasuo! Hook2 used Yasuo against Orion the other day!
lil bro! Kick his ass! Teach him a lesson!
Lin Fengs eyes lit up as he read the chat, and the smile on his face grew wider. Now this is what I call luck! I cant believe we bumped into one so fast. The viewers are right. Im 90% sure that this COFF picked Yasuo in an attempt to bait out CNHOOK2. Or make a point about his Yasuo. Who knows? But I cannot believe I found the exact kind of player I was looking for in the first game! This is going to be so good
Without any hesitation, Lin Feng locked in his Champion for the Mid Lane. Alistar, the Minotaur!
The viewers in Su Xues chat were dumbstruck.

Alistar!?
Ali into yasuo!?! What!?
lil bro, are you trolling!?
Lin Feng brushed the concerns off with a smile. Its fine! Im really good at Alistar too!
In the dorms of an ordinary university in Seoul, Korea, a young man was shocked when he saw the opposing teams Midlaner lock in Alistar.
What!? No way, Mid Alistar, really!?Coff muttered. Then his lips curved into a mocking smile. I heard Chinas best players were all on the Ionia server, but I guess you can still find a few noobs here too, huh? Only an idiot would pick Alistar against Yasuo. Like what can you even do!?
Coffs rank in the Korean server wasnt high. He had ended Season 5 at Platinum 3. But on the Ionia server, things were very different. Hed already managed to climb as high as Platinum 1. And at the rate he was going, he didnt think it would take him very long to get into Diamond. If he won this game, hed be in the Promotion Series to go up to Diamond.
This guy has to be trolling. Welp, thanks for the free win! Coff said as Champion Select ended, and the two teams entered the loading screen.
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.
Coff had no idea what he was walking into, nor did he realize how painfully his eyes would be opened.
Watch me stomp him! Lin Feng declared in the loading screen. Then the game started.
Despite Lin Fengs unshakeable confidence, the first few minutes of the game did not appear to be going well for his Alistar. There were too many things acting against him. Alistar was a melee champion, but one who didnt exert a lot of lane pressure in the Mid Lane. Compounding this issue was the fact that Alistar had no significant early game options to poke or duel against a highly mobile champion like Yasuo. The final impediment Lin Feng had to deal with was that Alistar had a very low attack speed during the early game. This made it very difficult to last hit minions and get gold from them.
The biggest obstacle that made all the viewers worry though, was that there was no way Alistar could outduel Yasuo at Level 1. Lin Feng had no option except to play cautiously and let Coffs Yasuo zone him out of the lane. And thats exactly what KRCOFF was doing with his Yasuo. Hed decided on an extremely aggressive and oppressive play style, constantly poking at Alistar with Steel Tempest every single chance he could get.
Before long, the constant barrage of Steel Tempest managed to whittle away half of Alistars health. Lin Feng remained unfazed. He had his Alistar drink a health potion while he glanced at his CS. The second minion wave was about to enter the lane, and hed only gotten 4 CS from the first wave of the game.
Lin Feng grimaced and muttered, Tch! Not enough CS
Right as Lin Feng looked back at the center of his screen, KRCOFFs Yasuo hit Level 2 and learned Sweeping Blade. With that skill, Yasuos aggression increased exponentially. He used Sweeping Blade to dash through red minions to get in range of Alistar, and poked with Steel Tempest constantly.
Coffs lips curved into a smile. What a shitter! Just a few more pokes, and hell be dead if he doesnt recall back to base!

At the same time, Lin Feng declared to the viewers on his stream. Its fine! That Yasuo will be dead soon. Just watch.
