What was a psychological gap?
The three big shots of the KG e-Sports Club were filled with nervousness and anticipation just a second ago. They thought they were about to hear an earth-shattering truth from Number One, but the next second, all they heard was a nonchalant "no comment" from Number One.
This made the minds of the three big shots of the KG e-Sports Club, including the head coach Tony, go blank for a moment.
They blinked their eyes in a daze, unable to react for a long time.
So …
Or they couldn't hear the truth?
Instantly, the KG e-Sports Club manager and team leader couldn't hide their disappointment. This was because Number One was standing in front of them. If anyone else had dared to "trick" them like this, they would probably have turned hostile on the spot.
However, it was precisely because the person in front of them was Number One, a legendary existence whose status in the professional esports circle was much higher than theirs by more than one level. Furthermore, he was the most important VIP guest of their KG Club, so they couldn't afford to offend him.
If he didn't want to say …
They couldn't do anything to him anyway. They couldn't force him.
However, the next moment, the head coach, Tony, seemed to have come back to his senses and realized something. He abruptly raised his head and looked at Number One again.
"Sir Number One, you mean …"
"For now, no comment?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "for now". The KG e-Sports Club manager and team leader, who also understood English, were also reminded by Tony's words. Once again, a look of surprise appeared on their faces —
That's right.
What did this "for now" mean exactly?
Number One laughed when he heard this.
"It means I can't say it for now."
"After you're done with the S6 finals, if you're still interested, you can do your own research."
As he said this, he looked at Tony and smiled. "Tony, which season did you enter this industry?"
Although he didn't understand the meaning behind Number One's question, the head coach Tony thought about it and answered seriously.
"It should be between the end of the S2 season and the beginning of the S3 season."
"The S3 season is when I officially entered the Korean LCK professional league as a coach."
Number One nodded and praised him.
"That's pretty early."
Tony had a proud look on his face when he heard the compliment. "It's quite early indeed. It's been four years now. Since then, I can remember the names of almost all the second-tier and above professional players who have appeared in the world of professional esports. I can give them the corresponding information."
This ability was also the biggest reason why he questioned Number One and questioned him.
The way he saw it, even if Number One only mentioned an ID used by one of the blue mid laners on the field, he would be able to find the corresponding professional player from his memory database. That way, he would be able to solve most of the puzzles in his heart.
However, as if reading Tony's mind, Number One shook his head with a smile and asked again:
"What about before S3?"
"Do you know the professional players who appeared in the professional esports circle in S1 and S2 as well?"
Tony was stunned by the question. He hesitated for a long time before he stammered, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"This …"
"This … I don't know much about it."
The leader of the KG e-Sports club couldn't help but speak up for his colleague. "It's normal, isn't it? The first two seasons of S1 and S2 were too long ago. Plus, there aren't many videos and documents that have survived until now."
The club manager also nodded repeatedly, showing a look of agreement.
"Yeah."
"Compared to the player information and match recordings from the past few seasons, the information from S1 and S2 isn't that valuable anymore."
Generally speaking, that was the case.
Six seasons had passed since the start of League of Legends. A pro player's golden period was only about two to three years. Phoenix and F- Han Shihao, who were part of the Four Emperors, and Nian the Thirteen, who were part of the Seven Kings, were considered special cases.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if the most experienced pro players from Season S1 and S2 returned to the scene, they wouldn't be able to play much of a role. Generally speaking, it was very rare for such a veteran pro player to return to the scene.
However, Number One shook his head.
"This way of thinking is a little biased."
"If you want to find out the truth, the information from back then is the most important thing. Moreover —"
As he spoke, he paused and smiled.
"Who says that there won't be any other heavyweight players in Season S2?"
"Even if some of the older players return now …"
"He's still able to stir up the current Esports circle."
The leader of KG Team was unconvinced. "Coach Number One, what you're saying is too baseless. Apart from Phoenix, F, and Nian Thirteen, there's no one else from that era who's still active in the eSports circle."
The club manager nodded. "It's not that easy for the older players to return. Not everyone can rise again like Addisi."
Number One wasn't angry at the rebuttal from the big shots of KG. Instead, he smiled.
"Oh?"
"Then what do you think if I want to return?"
He casually threw out an example.
It was like a bomb going off in the deep sea. The three big shots of KG were stunned on the spot. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Wh — What?!
Coach Number One … wants to return?!
The team leader of KG was stunned. His voice trembled as he said, "Coach … Coach Number One … you … you're not joking, are you?"
F * ck, if the person in front of them really chose to return, not just the local server, but the entire world's professional esports scene would be as shocked as ten thousand nuclear bombs going off at the same time. It would cause a huge earthquake!!
Number One smiled. "Of course I'm joking."
He didn't wait for the people of KG to heave a sigh of relief. Instead, he added leisurely,
"I'm joking, but some people aren't."
"I just want to tell you that some of your habitual thinking needs to be freed to see the truth of the problem clearly. Even if it's an old player from back then or even longer, there's still a possibility that he can return now. He has strength that no one can ignore."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the head coach of KG, Tony, and suddenly asked with a smile,
"Crow, Shield, and J from the European server a while ago. You should remember them, right?"
Tony was slightly stunned. He nodded subconsciously.
The next moment, Number One spoke again in a calm tone. However, the words he said left the head coach of KG speechless.
"The few who can completely overturn the rankings of the European server's King Group. Even a few veteran European professionals can't compete with them …"
"How much do you know about their identities and backgrounds?"
