An acquaintance?
Ceng Rui, Dou Zi, Tang Bingyao, and Kamiya Saka were stunned.
Then, they instinctively looked in the direction of a certain someone's gaze. Naturally, the most eye-catching people in their line of sight were the members of Seventh Leaf Battle Squad.
"Feng Feng, are you talking about the members of Team Seven Leaves?"
Dou Zi was a little surprised.
"I can still meet an acquaintance?"
Kamiya Saka was even more confused. She sized Lin Feng up.
"Does Lin Jun have any dealings with the LSPL professional players?"
Out of everyone in the team, she was the only one who didn't know that Lin Feng was a pro player back in the day. But aside from her, the other three also didn't expect this.
After all, when a certain someone was a professional player, it was still in Season S1. Not to mention the fact that the status of "Maple" back then was not something that a second-tier LSPL professional player could compare to, there were probably very few people who were still playing in the professional scene.
Lin Feng scratched his head. He wasn't too sure either.
"Oh …"
"He looks a little familiar."
"If it's really that guy, I haven't seen him in a few years."
… …
While they were chatting at the back of the crowd, Xu Jian, the branch manager of Pinnacle Internet Cafe, was really excited after figuring out Shi Ming's game ID.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry! I'm so blind!
I didn't recognize him just now!
I didn't expect Yagami to be here today! This is great! Yagami, don't you know that I'm also a loyal fan of yours?! "
He wasn't being courteous.
Although he was already in his thirties, and his reaction speed couldn't compare to a youngster's in a game like League of Legends, Xu Jian still liked to watch the livestreams of the professional leagues online. In addition, Pinnacle Internet Cafe had signed a business cooperation agreement with Team Seven Leaves. Therefore, he paid more attention to Team Seven Leaves' matches when he watched the professional leagues.
Logically speaking, in the national server's LSPL Division One division, Team Seven Leaves' strength could only be ranked in the middle. Although the individual strength of the team's players and members was strong, they were not the best in the LSPL division where there were many experts.
However, as a second-tier professional team in the country, they still had their own trump cards.
Seven Leaves' trump card was their top laner —
Eight wine cups!
If one were to make a statistical ranking of the strength of the top laners in the LSPL region, then among the sixteen A-League professional teams, Team Seven Leaves' top laner "Eight Wine Cups" could be firmly ranked in the top three.
This was not a boast.
Just by making a detailed table of his various KDA data, number of MVP awards, number of kills, and total DPS in every season over the past few years, the overall data of eight cups would definitely be able to place him in the top tier among the countless professional players in the LSPL.
At the same time, Eight Wine Cup, the ace of Team Seven Leaves, was also one of the few professional players in the LSPL who could be rated as B +.
It was even rumored that after the end of the S6 season, based on his performance this season, there would be a re-adjustment of his rating. It was highly likely that he would cross the B + threshold and enter the A- grade.
Don't look down on the fact that it was only a small increase.
However, one had to know that there were only three or four professional players in the entire LSPL who could be rated as A- grade.
It could be said that crossing the A- grade threshold was equivalent to having the qualification certificate that symbolized a first-tier professional player in the LPL.
At this moment, the member of Team Seven Leaves' second team interrupted with a smile.
"Our Brother Ming's strength is definitely unparalleled.
"It just so happens that the club is on holiday today, and there are no training missions. That's why Brother Ming has the time to come here.
"Old Xu, you have to seize this opportunity. With Brother Ming and Brother Lu helping to hold the fort today, Summit Internet Cafe has picked up another opportunity for publicity."
Xu Jian nodded his head in delight.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"It's our honor to have you here!"
Previously, when only a few members of Team Seven Leaves and their substitutes had come to hold the fort, Summit Internet Cafe was already extremely popular during the weekend. The effect of the event was also very good.
This time, two main members of Team One had come, and even Eight Wine Cup, who could be considered a superstar in the LSPL, had come. Even though the exhibition match had not started, Xu Jian could already foresee the commotion that would ensue in the internet cafe's hall.
Shi Ming waved his hand when he heard this.
"Alright, alright. Don't brag for me.
"I'm going to be embarrassed if you keep praising me.
"I just happened to be free today, so I thought of coming over to participate in such an offline event. Anyway, Boss Xu, please tell us the specific rules of the event. We will definitely cooperate well."
Xu Jian was elated when he heard this.
Look!
Look at what Eight Wine Cup is saying!
His posture is so good!
He's so approachable. He doesn't have the arrogance of a professional player at all. He's so easy to talk to. Such a professional player is simply the most ideal and favorite partner for the internet cafe to work with!
Xu Jian didn't say anything else. He quickly explained the situation at his internet cafe to them.
"Actually, it's not that troublesome. The process is quite simple."
"Anyway, let's go with the usual practice. We're going to invite all of us Gods to sit in the arena area. First, we're going to do a live broadcast of two high-level matches. We're going to let our internet cafe customers witness the true level of high-level matches on the national server."
"After the exhibition match is over, there will be nothing left to do."
"When the time comes, there might be customers of our internet cafe who would like to challenge you to a duel. It could be a 5v5 or a solo duel —"
As he spoke, Xu Jian paused for a moment before he quickly added,
"But there won't be too many people."
"Our internet cafe has thought of this problem a long time ago. We've specially prepared for it. If you want to challenge us, you'll have to first pay a certain amount of money as a deposit. Only if you win will you be able to take away your prize money."
When Shi Ming heard this, he showed a look of understanding and nodded.
"If that's the case, it will indeed control the number of people signing up to challenge the arena."
Immortal Moongazer, Lv Zhong, who was also part of the main force of Seven Leaves Team One, smiled and said,
"However, if we do that, with Ah Ming around today, those who want to challenge him in a solo duel will probably lose everything."
The registration fee for a solo duel was 300 to 500 yuan. For the customers who came to the internet cafe to play games, it was definitely not a small sum.
Shi Ming shook his head.
"I don't think anyone will be willing to challenge me."
"It's just a few minutes. They won't even have the chance to experience anything, and they'll have to fork out money."
It was not that he was conceited. He was simply looking at things from a practical point of view. With his top-tier LSPL strength, it was quite impossible for him to find customers who could spar with him in the current Pinnacle Internet Cafe.
Xu Jian smiled and said, "That might not be the case.
"That's not necessarily the case. With your fame, Yagami, there are definitely fans in our internet cafe who would be willing to spend a few hundred dollars just to have a chance to spar with their idol."
Lv Zhong teased Shi Ming from the side.
"Boss Xu is right. Speaking of which, it's not only the fans who are willing to fork out money. Who knows, they might really think that they're strong enough to face you head-on. If they win, they might even be able to pick up a reward of one or two thousand yuan."
Although he was joking, Lv Zhong didn't take it to heart.
After all, there was still a huge difference in strength between a passerby and a professional player.
An internet cafe customer might have the strength of a platinum or diamond player, and he would be considered an expert among the passerby. However, if he were to encounter a top-tier professional player like Shi Ming in the LSPL, he would not stand a chance.
