The more chaotic the era was, the more people hoped for the appearance of a hero to save the world.
The same principle applied in today's professional esports circle.
The S-Series World Finals came one after another. However, it had been a long time since the professional teams and players in the LPL region had been able to achieve good enough results in this world's top competition.
On the one hand, the majority of ordinary players could understand that the professional teams and players in their own LPL division had worked hard enough. On the other hand, they were still disappointed and depressed by the continuous setbacks in their LPL division in the S Series League.
So …
Many people still had this kind of hope and extravagant hope in their hearts. They fantasized and looked forward to the day when their national professional eSports circle would be able to produce a truly powerful and invincible team, bringing the glory of their national server to the summit of the S Series World Finals.
What kind of team would that be?
Perhaps it would be a perfect lineup with no shortcomings.
Strong tactical ability and tacit cooperation.
Or perhaps, if they had a top ace player whose strength was comparable to the [Four Emperors] as their leader, they would be able to become one of the top teams in the world, just like Team SSK that F- Han Shihao was in and Team Season that God of Support Autumn was in.
But speaking of which, for the vast majority of ordinary players, they had probably never heard of or thought of anyone in their own esports circle who was qualified to reach the level of the Four Emperors.
Star Emperor?
Circle God?
Even so, it was still not enough. Although they were already the two strongest players in their country, they had only crossed the threshold of the Seven Kings. There was still a gap between them and the Four Emperors, who were at the top of the pyramid.
Of course, the vast majority of players "didn't know" did not mean that they "didn't exist".
At least …
For the few hardcore players who started playing League of Legends in Season S1, they knew that a legendary character of this level once existed in their country.
As the core ace of Seven Leaves, Shi Ming, the "Eight Wine Cups", was naturally one of the very few players.
It was precisely because of this that he couldn't hold back his excitement when facing a certain someone at this moment. He was filled with anticipation and nervousness as he asked such a question.
"M-God, what's next …"
"Are you planning to return?"
Lin Feng wasn't unfamiliar with those words at all.
In fact, he had been gradually reuniting with some of his old friends over the past year. Whether it was his former teammates such as Tian Tian, his old rivals such as Nian Thirteen, Shi Hang, or September Frost Leaf, they all asked the same question when they met for the first time after so many years.
Back then, that Maple, that ID with the name Maple Emperor, had left a deep impression on these hardcore pro players.
That was a legend that was almost on par with the current F- Han Shihao.
It was the other highest peak of that era.
Even though the world's professional esports circle seemed to have been more and more fixed by the Seven Kings and the Four Emperors, no matter who it was, as long as they knew someone's past glorious and legendary achievements, they would have no doubt that as long as someone chose to return, there would be a violent shock akin to a magnitude 9.0 earthquake in the world's esports circle.
Especially for Shi Ming at this moment. He was originally a certain someone's most loyal fan back then, and today, he had just played a 5v5 match with a certain someone in this Summit Internet Cafe. The familiar shock and impact he received was especially strong.
Although it was only a top lane duel, and even if a certain someone didn't use the mid lane that he was best at …
But the captain in that match just now …
Shi Ming still effortlessly saw a certain someone's unparalleled and domineering figure in the world's top arena.
The M-God in his memory …
It was exactly the same as now!
He was still as strong as he was back then!
Therefore, even though he was now a celebrity top lane in the LSPL, standing in front of Lin Feng at this moment, Shi Ming still felt nervous and excited like a little fan who couldn't reach 2,000 points in the S1 season.
Lin Feng scratched his head when he met Shi Ming's nervous and expectant gaze.
"Oh …"
"Forget it."
"I plan to come back."
With a few words, he admitted it without the slightest bit of concealment.
When Shi Ming heard this, he was so excited that he almost jumped on the spot.
"Really?!"
"That's great, that's great!"
"M-God, now that you're back, there's hope for our professional esports scene!"
These words sounded a little exaggerated, but in Shi Ming's current mood, it was completely subconscious and sincere joy. Back then, too many people had a blind and fanatical reverence for the ID "Maple" who was named Maple Emperor.
After the ecstasy, Shi Ming couldn't wait to continue asking.
"Then —"
"M-God, what's your next step?"
"Ah, this season is almost over, so are you planning to fight your way back into the professional esports scene next season?"
Lin Feng nodded calmly.
"Oh, right."
"Anyway, we definitely won't be able to make it this season. But from next season onwards, we should be able to lead a team to play professionally."
As he spoke, he added,
"Oh right, I've formed a new team. It's the ones you just fought with. What do you think? They're not bad, right?"
Shi Ming was stunned when he heard that. Then, he subconsciously recalled the performance of the other four members of the NetBowl Internet Cafe team in the 5v5 match just now.
A commendable mid laner.
The jungler Blind Monk had a very good rhythm in the early stages of the game, and he also performed stunning moves in a few crucial group battles in the mid and late stages.
She was a steady support who never made any mistakes.
The ADC, Verus, had been perfectly harvested in the Dragon War.
"Yes."
"Not bad!"
Shi Ming nodded vigorously. His words were also a heartfelt praise and evaluation.
Lin Feng's face lit up with joy. "Right? My eyes are pretty good when it comes to recruiting members!"
However, at this moment, Shi Ming hesitated slightly, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but speak carefully.
"But God M, why did you bring your team to Pinnacle Internet Cafe for a challenge?"
"I heard …"
"Did you guys challenge other internet cafes before this?"
This was what Shi Ming had heard from the other members of Team Seven Leaves and the branch manager of Pinnacle Internet Cafe, Xu Jian. He couldn't help but feel perplexed. Given God M's status and strength, and the members of this new team were equally outstanding, it seemed a little too insignificant for him to organize a challenge at an internet cafe.
Lin Feng nodded his head in agreement.
"Yeah!"
"I wrecked a lot of internet cafes in the past two days."
There was no hint of embarrassment in his tone. In reality, no one in his position would stoop so low as to do something like this. It was too embarrassing. But he didn't care at all.
Shi Ming was a little dazed by Lin Feng's straightforward admission. After a long while, he carefully chose his words before continuing.
"Then what …"
"God M, are you … short of money?"
"If you really don't have enough money, I still have some savings. Why don't you use it for now?"
