In the Korean eSports circle, the teams from the LCK Pro League had a habit. Other than their daily training, they would often organize their own team members to play in their own server's King of Passersby group.
It was also another form of training.
It wasn't just the teams that were ranked at the bottom of the division. Even teams as strong as Warrior, Fate, and SSK had the habit and experience of sending their second or even first team's main players to fight in the random champion bracket.
Therefore, in such a dark and shadowy place, when the voice with the ID "Arrow" spoke again, not only did Ghost's disdainful sneer abruptly stop, but the other players also fell into silence.
An invisible and oppressive atmosphere slowly spread.
After a long while, J finally spoke in a deep voice.
"Team one?"
Arrow answered quickly, "Team one."
The atmosphere was silent again.
This time, even the arrogant Ghost was speechless. They knew that if Arrow's information was true, then the implications would be too great and shocking. It was so great that they couldn't accept it on the spot.
In the champion bracket of the Korean server, in a 4v5 situation where one of their teammates disconnected after ten minutes …
Defeat one of Fate's main lineup.
This news couldn't be spread easily. If it had been spread earlier, the entire esports scene would have been in an uproar. That was Fate, the team that had one of the Four Emperors, "Moon Empress" Moon, the team that was second only to SSK in Korea's LCK division.
They were a top team that could easily make it to the semifinals of the S Series World Finals. They could even fight for the championship trophy in the finals.
But …
They were defeated by their opponent in a 4v5!?
"In that game, that guy and his fiancée played in the middle lane," Arrow added at this time.
The atmosphere seemed to have eased up a little. J's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"If it was those two playing the mid lane, then it's understandable."
Arrow nodded, then shook his head.
"But … it's still scary, isn't it?"
His tone still carried a complicated meaning, a faint but unconcealable fear, but also a kind of admiration for his opponent.
Shield took a deep breath before he spoke again in his deep voice, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"That guy …"
"You are never to be underestimated."
The deep voice caused the dust flying in the light to tremble slightly once more. The other existences fell silent once more, and this silence was also a kind of silent agreement.
Yes.
Right now, in this place, they represented the peak of Europe's previous generation. Even in this new generation, they could easily crush over 95% of the pro players. The only ones qualified to be their opponents were the so-called Seven Kings and Four Emperors, but in their eyes, they were just juniors.
However, it was a group of people like them who didn't even want to mention a certain existence's name.
Or perhaps he didn't dare to mention it.
He could only use "that guy" to refer to him.
…
"That guy … How can he still be so strong?"
Ghost's voice rang out from the dark shadows again, but this time, the tone was less cold and gloomy. Instead, it was filled with anger and indignation.
At the same time, there was a similar fear in his companions.
His words seemed to have spoken the minds of the people present.
J, who was now recognized as having the strength to rival the Four Emperors, and perhaps even superior to the two Seven Kings top laners in China's LPL division and Seven in North America's LCS division, clenched his teeth and squeezed out the words from between his teeth.
"It doesn't make sense."
"That guy … doesn't conform to the common sense of a professional esports player?"
That's right.
According to the generally accepted golden rule, a professional esports player's golden lifespan was only two to three years. Even the longest lifespan was no more than three to four years. Players like F- Han Shihao, who had been standing at the top of the pyramid since Season S1 to Season S6, were the only ones in the new generation who could do so.
But that man.
From the previous generation to the current generation, it was clear that eight or even ten years had passed.
But he still seemed to have that bottomless and terrifying strength.
Like a quiet lake.
He was there calmly and indifferently.
But he always exuded an aura that made people tremble and palpitate uneasily.
Such an existence that seemed to completely ignore common sense was enough to make any opponent or enemy feel despair. It was as if that man could never be knocked down, forever like the most terrifying mountain that stood calmly and steadily, forever unsurpassable and could only look up to him.
"We've been suppressed by that guy for an entire generation."
"Could it be that even the current new generation is going to be suppressed by him to the point where they can't rise up?"
"He's not just one person!"
"There's still the other four guys!"
"Then what's the point of our return?"
The atmosphere in the dark shadows seemed to be a little restless at this moment. One by one, the top existences from the previous generation in Europe, were in a fidgety mood and arguing fiercely. This was the first time in many years that they felt such fear.
They didn't care about the younger generation of the new generation.
Even the Seven Kings and Four Emperors were not enough to be taken seriously by them.
But if it was that guy.
That man.
Even if they were strong, no matter how arrogant and stubborn they were, in the face of the terrifying opponent that had suppressed them for an entire generation, they had an uncontrollable fear and tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Finally, at this moment, the last fifth voice with a cold and indifferent tone rang out.
"What are you doing?"
When this voice rang out, the other four voices suddenly quieted down.
Because the one who spoke was the recognized leader among them.
He was their core.
In the previous era, their European professional esports circle was the only existence that could keep pace with Korea's Lee Do-jae and that person from China. He was respected as the terrifying cold shadow of the European continent, the crow hiding in the dark and gloomy — Crow.
"What are you doing?"
He repeated this sentence again coldly, as if he was questioning his companions. It wasn't until all the other voices were silent that Crow's cold and indifferent voice rang out again.
"That guy hasn't even shown up. Just a few battle records and videos have scared you guys out of your wits?"
"If that's the case, then we don't have to consider the plan in this new generation anymore."
"Just disband on the spot."
