Purple Team.
Two core positions in the mid lane.
Lin Feng and Li Shiyi were assigned to play.
Lin Feng and Li Shiyi weren't surprised by Number One's lineup and assignment. They were supposed to be sparring partners, so they had to go on stage. Moreover, they had to show their skills in the first round so that King's team members, including the manager, team leader, and coach, would recognize their strength.
After all, not everyone could be a sparring partner for a top team in the LPL.
Strength spoke for itself.
Lin Feng and Li Shiyi were already prepared. They weren't surprised, but the other King team members couldn't help but look startled.
Mid lane?
Jungler?
Even though they had already learned about the identities of these two and their upcoming sparring partners from their manager, it was their first time meeting them. They didn't know how good these two juniors of the senior coaches were, so the King team members subconsciously thought that they were only at the level of Master Kings in the national server.
Sparring partners?
That was putting it nicely. But to put it bluntly, they subconsciously thought that these two brothers were probably only good enough to be free human sandbags in their club's training.
A support, an ADC, and the two of them on the bottom lane were passable.
But in the first round of the match …
They handed over the two core positions of the mid lane and jungler to the others?
For a moment, the King team members who had been assigned to the purple team had bitter expressions on their faces. In their hearts, they were cursing their bad luck. If two of them had gone to the bottom lane, they wouldn't have been able to beat their King team in the early stages of the game. After all, it was very difficult to carry the bottom lane in the current version.
But …
Mid lane and jungler?
If these two positions were to collapse, the match would probably end in less than 20 minutes. If the two core positions were to explode, then no matter how much advantage the others had, it would all be useless.
Moreover, on one side was a member of their own club's main team.
On the other side were two "sparring partners" whose strength was unknown.
No matter how they looked at it …
They couldn't see any hope of victory.
As a result, the KG members of the purple team couldn't help but reveal dejected looks on their faces. They were too unlucky to have been assigned to the purple team by Senior Number One. They didn't even need to fight to know that they were going to lose. Moreover, it was very likely that they would be crushed by their opponents.
In contrast, on the other side, the few KG team members and a substitute top laner who had been assigned to the Blue Team all had joyous expressions on their faces — —
This was a sure win!
Originally, if Team Purple's centerfielder was also a member of King Team Two, they might have to give it a good fight. Team One's lineup against Team Two's lineup, and it wasn't like Team Two had never won before.
But now, the two new "sparring partners" were playing such important roles in the purple team …
The chances of winning were at least nine to one!
…
Beside them, the other members of King's team who were not scheduled to participate in this match were also discussing among themselves:
"With this lineup, isn't Team Blue sure to win?"
"Originally, even if the purple team sent out our entire second team, our chances of winning wouldn't be high …"
"Yeah, why would Senior Number One make such an arrangement?"
"Or could it be that … those two brothers are really strong?"
"Sigh, I've never seen them before. There's no such person in the Chinese esports scene. If they're just passersby, no matter how strong they are, they can't possibly compete with active professional players."
Basically, they were all looking at Team Purple's weak opinion.
Then, one of the team members noticed Tian Tian, who was standing beside them, and came over.
"Circle God, you weren't scheduled to participate in this match."
"If Circle God is also on Team Blue, I think Team Purple will have even less of a chance —"
"That makes sense. I think Coach Number One has also considered this. Circle God is our King's core ace top laner. If he were to go to Team Blue, the difference in strength would be too great."
As they spoke, the other members of King's team began to flatter Tian Tian in all sorts of ways.
Logically speaking, that was indeed the case.
As the first top laner in the Chinese server and a newly risen King Level powerhouse, Tian Tian was like a stabilizing force in King's team. He was as important as Morning Star was to Team God.
For example, in the upcoming training match, Team Blue's lineup was already far stronger than Team Purple's.
If Tian Tian were to join Team Blue …
It wouldn't be as simple as Team Blue becoming King's full lineup.
His addition almost meant that the strength of the lineup on paper would undergo a complete qualitative change.
Naturally.
The purple team on the other side had no hope of winning at all.
However, Tian Tian's eyelids twitched uncontrollably at the flattery of his teammates. His expression was stiff and strange. He could only force a smile.
"Ah …"
"Senior Number One must have his own considerations."
His words were tactful.
It was as if he was admitting it, but it was also as if he wasn't admitting it.
Only a few people could vaguely hear the guilt he was trying to hide in his words.
Because compared to most of the people present, at least on Team King's side, Tian Tian was the only one who knew the meaning behind Number One's lineup arrangement.
Tian Tian's decision not to participate had nothing to do with what the other members of King's team thought.
There was only one reason —
Senior Number One did not want him to give too many warnings to his King's other teammates when he went to the Blue Team.
Because he was the only one who truly knew how terrifyingly strong his former teammates were in the mid and jungler positions on Team Purple.
To put it more bluntly …
Not to mention the current lineup arrangement of Team Blue and Team Purple.
Even if Tian Tian were to be added, Team Blue would become Team King's full lineup.
Even then.
Against the purple team's current line-up, Ye Zichen's eyes widened.
In terms of the probability of winning …
Tian Tian subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and swallowed. He couldn't help but feel deeply worried and sympathetic for the members of Team King who were about to play.
Even if he were to go against Lin Feng and Eleven, the chances of winning would at most be four to six, wouldn't it?
…
Tian Tian's analysis was not wrong.
In fact, Number One had already planned and arranged such a line-up for the team arrangement.
Team Blue was four-fifths of Team King's main lineup.
Team Purple was the three ordinary members of Team King, plus Lin Feng and Li Shiyi.
Although there seemed to be a huge disparity in strength on paper, under the surface, only Number One and Number Five could compare their true strength.
"Team Blue doesn't have a good chance of winning —"
Number Five smiled faintly.
Number One raised his eyebrows. "In the first match, let those two boys prove their strength first. As training partners, they naturally have to convince their sparring partners first."
Perhaps Li Shiyi alone, with his current jungler level, was not enough to compete with the level of the main members of Team King.
But …
If Lin Feng was alone, he could already be considered as one of the strongest cultivators among the seven dukes or even more powerful than them.
Not to mention that he and Li Shiyi were now fighting side by side as a mid jungler.
The effect and power that could be exerted —
“1+1。”
The corner of Number One's mouth curved into a playful smile.
"Far more than 2."
