Shi Ming only smiled at his teammates' teasing and did not take it to heart.
The few people present knew very well how big the gap between ordinary players and professional players was.
Of course, if it was a truly top-notch expert, putting aside the professional competition environment that valued tactics and cooperation, they might indeed be able to compete with professional players in terms of individual operating ability.
However, there were also many types of professional players.
As for Shi Ming, the top top laner in the LSPL division of the national server, he was a true God in terms of individual operating ability and awareness.
Therefore, if it was a solo top laner, even if he was asked to go against the professional top laners of the top clubs in the LPL, he would still have the strength to fight them.
"Of course, KG's Circle God definitely doesn't count."
Lv Zhong added.
As soon as he said this, even the other members of Team Seven Leaves, who were flattering Shi Ming in various ways, showed expressions of agreement and nodded repeatedly.
That was indeed the case.
If it was the top laner of another LPL team, they could still praise Shi Ming a little more. Logically speaking, with Shi Ming's strength, he would not be much worse than a first-tier professional top laner in the LPL.
However, there was only one LPL club that was an exception.
That was Team KG.
Because their recognized number one top laner in the national server, even the new Seven Kings, Circle God, who could stand at the top of the pyramid in the current world rankings, was in Team KG's club.
"Logically speaking, Circle God's strength as a top laner can't find many opponents in the world."
A substitute member of Team Seven Leaves sighed and could not help but feel a little fascinated.
Lv Zhong also nodded subconsciously and showed a look of agreement.
"Yes."
"The only ones who can really carry the flag in our national esports circle are Star Emperor of God- Hand of God and Circle God of Team KG."
"They represent the top level of our professional esports circle."
Most of the time, the professional players in the LSPL and LPL divisions would not like each other and look down on each other. For the second-tier professional players in the LSPL League A, they did not think that the players and players of the eight LPL clubs were really stronger than them. They were just lucky to seize the opportunity.
In terms of strength, the people of the LSPL were not necessarily bad.
However, there were only two or three people like Morning Star and Tian Tian. Even the LSPL pro players couldn't find any fault with them, and they had to admit that they were inferior.
There was nothing to be ashamed of.
The other party was a true top-notch God, an existence that stood at the top of the pyramid. They were indeed not on the same level.
"Right —"
As if he had suddenly thought of something, Lv Zhong turned his head to look at Shi Ming.
"Ah Ming, you've been playing League of Legends since Season S1, right? You're probably the most experienced player among us. Circle God had already debuted in Season S1, right? Didn't you get a chance to befriend him?"
Shi Ming was stunned when he heard that. He quickly waved his hand to clarify.
"No, no, no, it's nothing!"
"I started playing professionally in Season S2."
"Back in Season S1, when Circle God entered the pro scene, I was just an ordinary passerby. At that time, there wasn't even a ranking system. I barely managed to get a Rank of around two thousand points. How could I have any sort of relationship with Circle God?"
Season S1?
As soon as Shi Ming said that, the other members of Team Seven Leaves and Xu Jian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"F * ck, Brother Ming, did you really start playing League of Legends that early?"
"Season S1 … It was only 11 years back then, right?"
"I didn't even f * cking know that this game came out at that time!"
"What's the level of a Rank of 2,000 points? Is it about the same level as our current Master League of Legends? "
Lv Zhong couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, that's why I say, Ah Ming, you're definitely one of the most experienced players in the current domestic esports circle. Season S1, at that time, our domestic professional esports circle hadn't taken shape yet, right? There wasn't even an LPL league yet."
"Speaking of which, Imperial Star hadn't started playing professionally at that time. Even if he was Circle God, he should just be an ordinary esports player with no fame."
This kind of sigh was basically not wrong.
The other members of Team Seven Leaves also nodded subconsciously.
Although they hadn't personally experienced that era, they had all heard of the history of the domestic LOL professional esports circle. At the time of Season S1, even live streaming platforms hadn't appeared yet, and the so-called professional league was just starting to take off. As a professional player at that time, it should have been quite difficult to even make ends meet. It definitely wouldn't be like now, where they could easily earn a million-dollar contract.
Shi Ming nodded, then shook his head.
"The professional esports circle at that time indeed didn't sound easy.
"But —
"If it's Circle God, even at that time …
"They were already the top professional players in the country and even in the world."
The words left his mouth.
Even Shi Ming himself felt his mind wavering slightly.
His thoughts seemed to be pulled back to that era in that instant.
That time.
That time …
Although he was just the most ordinary passerby player, he had witnessed with his own eyes how the most legendary team in their country had blazed a path through the national server like a hot knife through butter, rushed to the international professional competition, and even fought against the European and American powerhouses. In the end, they even fought their way to the pinnacle of the S1 World Finals —
Those scenes.
Just thinking about it now could make his blood, which had been silent for a long time, tremble uncontrollably again. It was burning hot and faintly boiling.
That year.
Even if it was Circle God, such a dazzling figure, he was just a member of "that" team.
Because the other four …
Regardless of strength or status, they were not inferior to Circle God in the slightest. They also stood firmly at the top of the pyramid of the national and even the world professional esports circle.
Especially —
Especially that one.
The scenes of the pinnacle of the S1 World Finals flashed through his mind in an instant. Finally, the last frame was slightly fixed. Shi Ming couldn't help but tremble slightly.
That frame.
It was two equally young figures.
It seemed to symbolize the most stunning and dazzling top combat power of that era.
The confrontation that took place.
A total of five sets of 'best-of-five' matches.
The scene that stirred people's hearts, the shocking fight to the death.
His thoughts seemed to be immersed in that kind of meeting, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until he heard a few calls that Shi Ming suddenly woke up from the past. He looked at his teammates and Xu Jian apologetically.
"Sorry, I was distracted just now —"
"What are you talking about?"
Xu Jian waved his hand. "It's nothing, Yagami, you must be reminiscing about the past. We interrupted you!"
At the same time, Lv Zhong, who was beside him, smiled and said,
"Ah Ming, you were distracted just now and didn't hear it. Boss Xu just told us something interesting."
"He said …"
"There's a small team called the NetCube Internet Cafe Team. Recently, they've been quite famous in the Shanghai Internet cafe circle."
NetCube Internet Cafe?
Shi Ming was stunned when he heard that. He naturally did not know anything about Shanghai's internet cafe circle. How did he become famous?
Lv Zhong had a look of interest on his face.
"I think it's quite interesting."
"I heard from Boss Xu … that they became famous by smashing things up."
