It was a S2 match against Team Alpine. The resolution was extremely poor, but Lin Feng watched it from start to finish in 32 minutes. He was extremely patient and focused.
From the beginning to the end, his gaze was fixed on the blue blind monk in the video.
The Blind Monk in the S2 season didn't have the so-called Roundhouse Kick or Flashing Kick. Many Chinese players were lamenting that if they could bring back these high-level Blind Monk skills back to that season, they would be invincible.
But for Lin Feng, Flashing Kick or Flashing Kick didn't matter.
As long as a champion fell into the hands of a true pro player, it would be invincible no matter what.
Just like in the video of the match he was watching right now, Team 11's Blue Team's jungler, Blind Monk, used an incomparably stable and aggressive playstyle to easily lead the rhythm of the three lanes, suppressing the opponent's three lanes of heroes, including the jungler, until they were in an incomparably sorry state and retreating step by step.
In the end, Eleven won.
Su Xue, who was sitting next to Lin Feng, was dazzled.
"So cool!"
Even with Su Xue's current eyesight, she wouldn't think much of it if she only watched the matches of other S2 pro players. After all, over the past few seasons, the professional esports scene had improved far too quickly. All kinds of tactics were constantly changing and becoming more and more mature. It was definitely not something the S2 season could compare to.
But even so, sitting in front of the computer screen and watching a match from four years ago, admiring the blue team's jungler's smooth and unrestrained movements, still made her feel that it was a feast for the eyes, and she sincerely marveled at it.
Strategies could be replaced, and playstyles could be constantly researched and developed, but a pro player's mechanics and awareness would never fade, no matter what season it was.
Looking at the blue team's jungler, the Blind Monk, who carried the entire field with a 9/1/6 record, Su Xue was amazed. Even in the LPL, the junglers of the top eight domestic professional teams were no better than him, let alone the current LSPL.
Lin Feng's expression was incomparably calm.
Compared to Su Xue's amazement, Eleven's performance was nothing out of the ordinary.
In fact, compared to the S1 season, Eleven's performance in this video might have declined.
Of course —
Even though his condition had deteriorated, the strength that Eleven displayed in the video was still impressive. His control and awareness were almost flawless.
If he was in such a state …
What reason did the High Mountain Team have to replace Eleven with Team Two and even demote him to a substitute position?
Frowning, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly suppressed it. He knew that no matter how stupid the High Mountain Team were, they wouldn't waste a top-notch jungler like this. Not to mention, Eleven couldn't even make it to the second team and could only be relegated to a substitute.
There should be other secrets that he didn't know about.
Su Xue turned to Lin Feng and cautiously whispered to him, "What's going on?
"There's still some footage from S2, but there's no more from S3 onwards."
"If you want to see the video of Eleven's competition with the High Mountain Team Two, those are probably the internal video files of the High Mountain Team Club. I can't get them from the LSPL official side."
Lin Feng shook his head.
"I'm fine."
…
Su Xue couldn't get the internal video files of the High Mountain Team Two's training matches, but that didn't mean that others couldn't.
The next morning, Lin Feng woke up early and went to the Shanghai Esports Association branch in Pudong. He took the elevator upstairs and went straight to the vice president's office. From Chu Fangnan, he got a portable hard drive filled with video files.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, but this time, they didn't have time to catch up. Chu Fangnan also had a lot of work to do. He looked at Lin Feng, who was nodding and thanking him with a calm expression. In the end, he could only sigh and pat Lin Feng's shoulder.
"There's nothing else I can do for you.
You can only deal with this kind of thing on your own. But listen to Brother Chu.
No matter what decision you make, don't be impulsive. Think about it first. "
Lin Feng nodded silently.
After returning home, Lin Feng locked himself in his bedroom for the rest of the weekend. He watched almost all the video files on the portable hard drive Chu Fangnan gave him.
Season S3, S4, S5 …
Lin Feng didn't know how Chu Fang Nan had managed to get his hands on those videos. Lin Feng didn't care either. He just watched those videos one by one. His facial expression became extremely gloomy and gloomy. Lin Feng didn't know what methods Chu Fang Nan had used to get his hands on those videos. Lin Feng didn't care.
Su Xue would only ask Lin Feng to eat three times a day. Sitting at the table, she could only secretly watch Lin Feng eat without saying a word. She was worried and apprehensive, but she didn't dare ask too many questions. Lin Feng's face was full of worry and apprehension.
However, she also secretly found some acquaintances in the LSPL who had commentated on some of High Mountain Team Two's matches. She wanted to find out more about Lin Feng's former teammate, Eleven. The people she asked were all veterans who had been in the industry since Season S3 and S4. However, when they asked about the former jungler of High Mountain Team Two, they all frowned and thought for a long time.
"High Mountain Team Two …"
"A jungler called Eleven? Oh, that's a long time ago. It should have been between Season S3 and S4, right? "
"Sorry, sorry. I don't have much of an impression of him."
"Skill level? I don't think so. I didn't think much of it at the time. After all, he's only at the level of a second LSPL team. "
… …
Lin Feng also sent the video files to Nian Thirteen in Taiwan.
When the latter was almost done watching the recordings of two or three matches, he directly made an overseas call and asked in a very direct manner.
"What do you think?"
Nian Thirteen's expression was just as grim.
He knew about Li Shiyi's current situation much earlier than Lin Feng. He knew that Li Shiyi, who used to be his nemesis, was only a substitute for a second-rate team in the LSPL's First Division.
However, after watching the videos of the Gao Shan Squad's matches in Season 3 and Season 4, he would never have imagined that Li Shiyi, who was able to dominate him in the S1 arena back then, would be in such a terrible state.
"How is this possible?"
Nian Thirteen's eyelids twitched.
"How did he become like this in just a few years?"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth.
"What do you think is the problem?"
Even Lin Feng couldn't make a judgment on this kind of thing. Instead, Nian Thirteen, who was also a world-class jungler, might have more ideas and say.
Nian Thirteen took a deep breath and said in a bitter tone, "I don't know. Even if Eleven's skill level had declined, he shouldn't have become like this. F * ck, it's hard to even say that he's at the semi-professional level."
Hearing that even Nian Thirteen was helpless, Lin Feng closed his eyes in pain.
No matter how he thought about it, he could never have imagined that his former teammates would end up like this.
Suddenly, Nian Thirteen said hesitantly, "But, there's another possibility …"
"I'm not sure, but I feel like Eleven's current state …"
"I'm not sure myself, but I feel like Eleven's current state …"
"Maybe … it's a mental illness?"
