前段时间，一个名为"택배기사#한 진"的账号引起许多LOL爱好者的关注，因为这个账号在短短51小时内就完成了56场对局，胜负场数达到52胜4负，胜率 一度高达95%，恐怖的胜率使其从一个新手号迅速杀入王者段位，最高排名冲至韩服第68位。 图源：推特 要知道，作为全球LOL服务器中竞争最激烈的地方，韩服的王者段位基本都被各个赛区的职业选手及天才路人统治，能够在这里保持如此高的胜率，其实力 已经足以比肩甚至超越顶级的职业选手。 更离谱的是，该账号连续数日进行长达14小时的对战，中间几乎没有休息时间，并且从开始到结束都能维持极高的竞技水平和状态。而且，这个"玩家"一开 始主玩发条魔灵，也被认为是有意为之（发条魔灵在背景故事里是人类创造的智慧机械生物），这些异于常人的表现让不少网友认为这个账号的背后未必是 真人，而是一个AI。 "神秘AI高手"现身LOL游戏韩服 网友们有这样的猜测并非空穴来风，因为在去年的11月，马斯克就曾经在X平台上公开发帖表示xAI旗下的Grok 5将在2026年挑战全球最顶尖的LOL战队T1 （原SKT T1），而在战帖发出去后没多久，这个神秘账号就出现在LOL的韩服服务器上，实在很难不让人多 ...
