In the arena, the players of Team Seven Leaves and Team NetCube Internet Cafe had already taken their seats in front of two rows of computers.
Although the 5v5 arena challenge was about to begin, the atmosphere in Team Seven Leaves was still very relaxed. A few players were still chatting and laughing.
"Two thousand yuan for the registration fee. I don't know where those students get their confidence from."
"They even have two female players. Tsk, tsk. How weak were the other internet cafe teams that were defeated by them? They couldn't even beat girls?"
"I feel like they're going to be crushed for another 20 minutes. Hahaha."
"Tsk, it's not even certain if they can last 20 minutes before surrendering."
However, compared to the relaxed attitude of his teammates, Shi Ming's mood was completely different.
Even though it had been five minutes since he recognized someone, his heart was still beating wildly. He couldn't help but keep glancing at the person in front of him, and then quickly retracting his gaze.
Lv Zhong, who was sitting beside him, had long felt that something was wrong with his teammate. He was even more confused.
"What's wrong with you, Ah Ming?"
"Tell me if you have something to say. I've never seen you so distracted before, have I?"
Shi Ming opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only shake his head and say in a low voice,
"I'm fine."
At the same time, he could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart.
How could he be fine?
Was this a joke? The person sitting opposite him was … M-God.
Perhaps his teammates had never heard of the name "M-God" and naturally could not recognize the identity of the person opposite him. However, Shi Ming was different. As one of the few true veteran professional players in the Chinese professional esports circle, he had started playing professionally in Season S2, and he started playing League of Legends in Season S1.
So …
Back then, he had personally witnessed the glorious achievements of "that person" sitting opposite him, along with his legendary team and four other equally dazzling teammates.
In fact, he himself was the most loyal fan of "that person" and "that team" back in the day.
Until now, Shi Ming still felt like he was in a dream.
Ever since the end of the S1 season, the disbandment of "that team" and the retirement of "that person" had always been his biggest regret. Later on, even though he himself had started playing professionally, he had always hoped that one day he would be able to see "that person" again in a professional esports arena.
After so many years, he finally met his idol again.
But …
Whether it was the time or the location, it had completely exceeded his expectations. It could even be said that it was a situation that he would never have imagined even in his dreams.
Who would have thought that?
This was his first reunion with his idol after so many years, and the two of them were suddenly sitting on opposite sides of the arena, directly becoming opponents who were about to fight!
Spar with M-God?
As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Shi Ming felt his heart tremble uncontrollably.
With his current status and strength in the LSPL, even if he were to face the top laners of the LPL, he would be full of confidence and fighting spirit to fight against them. At the very least, he would have a fifty-fifty chance of winning against them.
But …
M-God?!
The core ace of Team Seven Leaves, Eight Wine Cup, was almost in the mood to cry at this moment.
Even if he grew three heads and six arms, M-God could easily crush him to death with one finger. How could he have any hope of winning?!
… …
"Hey, Feng Feng …"
On the other side of the arena, Dou Zi, who was sitting next to Lin Feng, leaned over and whispered in a low voice.
"I think that Eight Wine Cup … doesn't look right."
Although her voice was soft, Ceng Rui, Kamimiya Saka, and Tang Bingyao, who were sitting across from her, all heard her. The three of them could not help but nod.
They also noticed it.
On the other side, the ace of Seven Leaves …
His expression did not look right at this moment. It was alternating between green and white, and he was fidgeting as if he was under a lot of pressure.
In response to this, someone's explanation was very careless.
"Oh, that's normal.
He knows he's playing against me, so he's a little nervous. "
Even Ceng Rui and Dou Zi, who knew Lin Feng's identity, could not help but be speechless. If it weren't for her etiquette and upbringing, Kamimiya Saka would have almost rolled her eyes at Lin Feng. Only Tang Bingyao nodded in agreement.
However, even though that was what he said, Lin Feng still gave his teammates some instructions before the match began.
"For this round, let's play it safe in the early stages."
Ceng, you and TangTang are old partners in the bottom lane. Just do what makes you comfortable. Don't worry about anything else.
"Then, Kamimiya Saka …
"You're the jungler, so your task is more important. Pay attention to the rhythm of the bottom and middle lanes in the early stages. It'd be better if you can invade the jungle and suppress the jungler. In short, don't let the jungler take the initiative."
Kamimiya Saka nodded happily at Lin Feng's instructions.
"Don't worry.
Leave it to me. "
Dou Zi looked at Lin Feng and said worriedly, "Lin Feng, is it really okay for you to go alone? Eight Cups ….. Don't they know you? It's very likely that they'll try to kill you on the jungles."
Considering that Kamiya Saka was at the side, Dou Zi's words were vague, but it didn't stop Ceng Rui and Tang Bingyao from understanding.
Indeed.
If it was said that Eight Wine Cup had already recognized someone's identity, then even if it had been many years, facing an existence that once stood at the top of the esports pyramid, even if it was a pro player of Eight Wine Cup's level, he definitely wouldn't dare to be careless. He would definitely think of a way to deal with that person.
However, Lin Feng wasn't worried at all. He just smiled.
"It's fine.
If nothing unexpected happens, that guy probably won't do that. "
At the same time.
Just as they were about to enter the combat room and begin the blind selection, Shi Ming from Seven Leaves Squad finally calmed himself down after taking a few deep breaths. Then, he turned his head and instructed his jungler beside him.
"Ah Yu, don't come with me."
"Focus on the middle and lower lanes. Try to seize the time to bring out the advantage in these two lanes."
The jungler of Seven Leaves Squad's second squad naturally did not have any objections to Shi Ming's orders. He immediately patted his chest and agreed to it.
"Brother Ming, don't worry."
"Leave the middle and bottom lanes to me!"
"Anyway, I don't need to call out to the top laner. With you, Brother Ming, you'll be able to defeat the top laner in minutes. Hahaha — —"
It was not just the jungler from Team Two. The other three members of Team Seven Leaves, including Lv Zhong, agreed with Shi Ming's arrangement. In their opinion, Shi Ming alone was enough for the top lane. There was no need to waste his jungler's energy. The most reasonable choice was to find opportunities in the middle and bottom lanes.
But Shi Ming was the only one who could not voice his troubles. He could only smile wanly in his heart.
Time to go …
Don't you need to gank?
That's not the case at all.
To be precise, even if he had the help of his jungler on the top lane, he would not be able to gain the slightest advantage against God M. Rather than that, he would rather have his jungler give up on his top lane and accept his fate. He would do his best to hold back God M for as long as he could.
But …
Can I really hold him back?
Shi Ming didn't have the slightest bit of confidence towards this point.
