The quarterfinals of the Golden Spear Cup were split into two days as usual.
Lin Feng and Dou Zi's team, Shang Cai Esports Club, were assigned to the first match on the first day.
Although their opponent, Tongji University, was one of the top teams in the Sorcery Esports Club, they were powerless against the rising dark horse, Shang Cai Esports Club.
In the set of best-of-three matches, Team Shang Cai secured victory with a score of 2: 0.
The first round was still a bit of a stalemate. Under the leadership of the old jungler, Tongji University's team seemed to have brought out their trump card. In the early stages of the game, Tongji University's old jungler, Li Qing, was roaming around the three lanes. He managed to successfully gank several times in a row, giving them the upper hand. Even the bottom lane where Lin Feng and Kamiya Saka were at was caught once.
But when the first match entered the middle stage, a certain someone's adc, Mouse, began to show his strength.
He roamed around the middle lane, activated his Q skill, Stealth, and closed in on Lux.
Then, he closed in on her!
He dodged Lux's Q skill, and continued to fire.
He continued to fire at close range, forcing out Lux's [Flash], and at the same time, he used his E skill to detonate all the passive abilities on the target, completing the solo kill.
Then came a small dragon fight. Kamiya Saka's support, Nishina, used her ultimate skill to stun three of the opposing heroes. At the same time, Lin Feng's adc, Mouse, entered the fray and unleashed another ultimate skill, dealing a triple kill.
The students and spectators in the audience continued to exclaim in surprise.
In a corner of the audience, Ceng Rui and Tang Bingyao, who didn't have their Fudan team's turn to play today, were sitting together. Looking at the big screen, Ceng Rui nodded in approval.
"Nishina's first move is very stable."
Tang Bingyao, on the other hand, scrunched up her face and snorted.
"What do you mean?"
"She's just so-so …"
"Way worse than you, Ceng!"
Even though Tang Bingyao praised him, Ceng Rui could easily guess what she was thinking. He couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
"Tang Bingyao, you're too biased against Kamiya Saka."
Tang Bingyao wrinkled her nose.
"I just don't like her."
"But Lin Feng actually wants me to pave the way with him …"
"Ah Zeng and I clearly have a good understanding of each other! — "
His tone was slightly aggrieved.
Of course, the tacit cooperation with Ceng Rui was only a small part of the reason. The main reason was naturally because she was indeed full of hostility towards the Japanese girl and did not want to cooperate with her at all.
Ceng Rui tried to persuade him in resignation.
"But there's nothing we can do."
"We're short of manpower to begin with, and Kamikaze is a support player. Logically speaking, her skill level isn't that much lower than mine, and it just so happens that her playstyle is closer to yours. If you two get used to each other, you'll definitely be able to perform better —"
Tang Bingyao said angrily.
"It's fine without her!"
"I can still walk down the path alone!"
Ceng Rui could only smile wryly when he heard this. If he went to the bottom lane by himself, what would happen to Kamiya? Was she supposed to run to the top lane or the middle lane as a support? Or was it going to be a double roaming strategy?
He was too unreliable.
… …
Although the first match was a stalemate, by the second match, they had adapted to the rhythm of Tongji University's team. Team Shang Cai also quickly adjusted and adapted. Dou Zi's jungler, Widow, began to frequently crouch, successfully waiting for Tongji University's jungler, Kazik. Together with Lin Feng and Kamiya Saka's support, a certain someone's ADC, Explorer, obtained a double kill.
Then, he took the opportunity to level the opponent's outer tower.
As a result, Lin Feng's ADC matured even faster than in the first match.
This was equivalent to announcing the demise of Team Tongji University.
After two matches, the Shanghai Cai Esports Club team won 2: 0 and became the first team to advance to the semifinals. When they walked off the stage, the Tongji University team members came over to shake hands with the Shanghai Cai Esports Club members. The old jungler of Tongji University sighed helplessly at Lin Feng.
"Our luck is too bad …"
"It looks like we'll have to wait for Team Shang Cai and Fudan to compete for the championship this year."
Lin Feng smiled.
He didn't care about this Gold Spear Cup championship.
After all, it was just an empty title. Even if they won the championship, the prize money would belong to the Shang Cai Esports Association. What he was most concerned about at the moment was the matter of earning the prize money by relying on the new team that he had just formed.
… …
That evening, Lin Feng pulled the other four teammates of his new team out for dinner. At the dinner table, they discussed which competitions they should find to sign up for next.
"There are quite a lot of high-level competitions recently."
"Like a few of the more established competitions, like 'Jiao Yang Cup', 'Dragon Tiger Competition', etc. The prize money is also very generous."
Dou Zi made her own suggestion.
But this suggestion was quickly rejected by Lin Feng.
"No."
"These competitions are starting too late. The earliest one is in half a month, isn't it?"
"And the competition schedule is too long. If we continue to play round after round, it will take at least half a month to decide the final winner and get the prize money."
"The schedule is too slow."
Yes.
For the current Lin Feng, time was the most important thing.
Because he really didn't want to continue waiting. Whenever he thought of his former teammate Eleven being treated coldly in the Mountain Mountain Team, his heart would be incomparably irritated. He couldn't wait to drag Eleven out of that quagmire tomorrow.
Kamiya Saka was a little curious.
Among the five people at the table, she was the only one who didn't know Lin Feng's identity and background. Naturally, she didn't know why Lin Feng was in such a hurry to bring a new team to compete and earn prize money.
Although she was puzzled, seeing that the others at the table didn't seem to have any intention of answering her, she could only put her doubts aside for the time being.
In any case, it didn't matter if she didn't know the truth.
Originally, she had the opportunity to learn more about Lin Feng, as well as his teammates. For her, it was already a very good harvest.
"Then what should we do?"
Ceng Rui frowned slightly.
"If we want to find a competition with a short competition period and a generous enough prize money, I guess it won't be easy."
Dou Zi was also a little distressed. "Most of the competitions I've come into contact with are in our Magic City's high school circle. I don't know much about the other competitions."
Only Lin Feng seemed to have a card up his sleeve.
"Don't worry.
I have an idea! "
As soon as he said this, the four people at the table immediately turned to look at him.
Lin Feng chuckled. It was rare for him to be so secretive.
"You'll know in a bit.
In any case — "
"We need to find someone first."
