The customers in the internet cafe were still excitedly discussing the members of the NetBot Internet Cafe Team that had just left.
Especially when they used their phones to look up information about the "Battle Cup" Internet Cafe Round Robin Challenge and found out that today's Internet Cow Internet Cafe team was actually the team that had won the "Steady as Mount Tai" award in the previous competition. The crowd became even more restless.
F * ck …
Forty-two wins in a row!
Zero losses!!
Many of the internet cafe customers who had never heard of the "Battle Cup" before couldn't help but gasp. Their eyes were a little dazed. Even if they hadn't personally seen the performance of the NetBowl internet cafe team during the competition, this kind of record was already shocking and terrifying enough.
In other words, the "Steady as Mount Tai" award's competition format was that the participating internet cafe team had to continuously accept challenges from other internet cafe teams?
Forty-two wins in a row and zero losses meant …
That online awesome internet cafe team had defeated a total of 42 internet cafes in one go!
And they hadn't even tasted defeat!
Their strength was simply out of this world, okay!!
There were even some internet cafe customers who had heard of the "Battle Cup" before, but only remembered it now. At this moment, they were talking about the awesome deeds of the "Internet Awesome Internet Cafe" team to the people around them, spitting saliva everywhere.
"F * ck, you guys don't know. The NetBot Internet Cafe Team was really amazing at that time!"
"Every team from other internet cafes that came to challenge them was destroyed!"
"So domineering!"
"F * ck, it's just that I didn't think about it earlier. Isn't that right? When the NetCube Internet Cafe team was competing in the Battle Cup, the most eye-catching thing about their team was that they had two gorgeous beauties in their team. Such eye-catching characteristics, I should have realized it earlier!"
"Hey, but I remember that there was a girl in their team who played as a jungler, right? And the girl with long black hair who played as a support today seems a little unfamiliar … "
The crowd below the stage was bustling with excitement and clamor.
At the same time, in the arena area, a few members of the Universal Internet Cafe Team gathered around Han Lin and also started discussing.
"Hey, so it's that NetBot Internet Cafe Team …"
"I remember them too. They are really amazing. We didn't lose for nothing today."
"But logically speaking, with that guy called Lin Feng leading the NetCow Internet Cafe team, it really isn't strange for them to sweep everyone."
Listening to his teammates' discussion, Han Lin did not speak for a long time.
He shook his head in his mind.
No.
It's not like that.
At the very least, it was definitely not that simple.
Lin Feng's strength couldn't be explained just based on the results of the Internet Cow Internet Cafe team in the "Battle Cup."
His strength, whether it was his mechanics or his awareness, had definitely surpassed the standard of ordinary second-tier LSPL professional players. He was heading straight for the top first-tier professional players of the LPL.
Such a person …
It was impossible for an ordinary internet cafe to hire an expert.
His gaze subconsciously turned towards the direction of the hall where Lin Feng and the others had left. He recalled the last words that a certain someone had said before leaving. Han Lin's heart couldn't help but sway slightly.
"You'll find out soon enough."
This sentence …
What did that mean?
…
While Han Lin was still mulling over the meaning of Lin Feng's last words, Lin Feng and the others had already arrived at the entrance of Everyone Internet Cafe.
Before they knew it, it was already night.
Standing at the entrance of the street, as far as the eye could see, one could see the brilliant night scene of Shanghai.
The passing traffic brought with it a night breeze, which was cool and refreshing. Lin Feng took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the night sky above his head. He was a little lost in thought.
One sentence …
He directly gave up the prize money for five solo matches.
It seemed a bit of a pity.
If 2,500 yuan was placed in other small internet cafes, even if he successfully won a 5v5 match, he might only earn a few hundred yuan. In other words, the income that these five solo matches could have brought him was equivalent to the prize money of three or four other small internet cafes.
But he didn't feel regret.
The reason …
It was the ace player of Everyone Internet Cafe's resident team, Han Lin.
Tonight's night sky in Shanghai was rare and clear. There were almost no clouds in sight. The crescent moon emitted a bright silver light and sprinkled down softly. There was a coldness, but also a gentleness.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
He was actually in a very good mood.
Because he unexpectedly met such a former professional player who retired from the LSPL. Although his strength naturally couldn't be compared to the standard when he was in the army, his unwillingness to admit defeat and fighting spirit, as well as his willingness to do his best to protect the honor and dignity of a professional player, were enough to move people.
So …
There was satisfaction.
There was gratification.
Looking at Han Lin made Lin Feng feel as if he could see the shadows of countless other professional esports players in the national esports circle.
Similarly …
It would also remind him of his former teammates who were still serving as substitutes in the LSPL High Mountain Club.
They were really very similar to Eleven.
Perhaps the way they chose and the specific performance were different, but the cherishing and importance of the honorary title of "professional player", the sense of belonging and pride that seemed to be innate was the same.
One was still gritting his teeth and enduring the coldness and supercilious looks from the club for the dream of professional esports. He continued to be inconspicuous as a substitute but still persisted.
One was still not forgetting the honor of being a professional esports player even after retiring. Even if he lost consecutively in solo matches, he still fought with all his might until the end.
Lin Feng's eyes were shining brightly.
This was the spirit of professional esports in the national server.
It was precisely because there were countless esports players like Eleven and Han Lin that the professional esports circle on the national server was able to grit their teeth and go against the current, despite years and seasons of consecutive losses. They were able to silently and resolutely carry the heavy burden and move forward.
Such people, even if they were weak and not worth mentioning in the eyes of those top players, as long as they had such spirit, to Lin Feng, there was no doubt that they were worthy of his respect.
Because it was also these seemingly ordinary second-rate, third-rate, and even unranked professional esports players …
They were the true backbone of their national esports.
This spirit was unyielding.
Their national esports would always have opportunities and hope.
They would also always be able to stand tall in the world's professional esports circle.
Lin Feng's mind was slightly agitated. When his flying thoughts slowly returned to normal with the gradually weakening night wind, he seemed to have realized something. He turned his head to look at his teammates behind him, scratched his hair, and revealed an embarrassed smile.
"Ah … sorry."
"I was a little presumptuous just now and lost more than two thousand yuan for nothing."
"Sorry, sorry."
In response to Lin Feng's apology, Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, Kamiya Saka, and Dou Zi looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Dou Zi was the first to speak up.
"It's fine! Feng Feng, you did the right thing. I also think that Han Lin is quite admirable, "Lin Feng said.
"It wasn't a loss!"
Tang Bingyao nodded in agreement.
"Lin Feng, you didn't do anything wrong!"
Kamiya Saka smiled. "Lin Feng, you're very gentlemanly for making such a choice. I have a whole new level of respect for you."
Ceng Rui's expression didn't change. He habitually rubbed his temples, then said in a flat tone, "You're the captain.
"Anyway, you're the captain. It's up to you how you decide."
The meaning of his words was self-evident.
The members of the new team expressed their support for Lin Feng's decision without any objections.
"Oh, is that so?"
Lin Feng scratched his head, then burst into laughter.
"Haha, I think so too!"
"It's only a little more than two thousand yuan. Anyway, there's an entire Shanghai internet cafe waiting for us to destroy it."
"Come on, it's still early. Let's hurry up and smash the next one! — — "
