5: 53 p.m.
Seven minutes until the match began.
There were only seven minutes left until the match began.
At this time, the two top eight teams in the first group were ready to go on stage. Before the competition, they had to get used to the mouse and keyboard and get a feel for it. The backstage staff also had to wait on the side. If there were any problems, they would help the players adjust the equipment immediately.
"Good luck!
I'll cook you something good when we get back! "
Su Xue, who was sitting in the front row, pulled Lin Feng over to give him a few words of encouragement before the High 13 players went on stage.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
"Okay! I want to eat braised eggplant and winter melon soup! "
Before he could finish, Su Xue ruffled Lin Feng's hair and rudely interrupted him, "What's wrong?
"Alright, let's talk about it after we win!"
Lin Feng, with his messy hair, patted his chest and vowed, "Don't worry, I'll definitely win!
Before long, the players from High Thirteen and Shixi High walked onto the stage and sat down in front of their respective computer screens. They held their breaths as they prepared for the match.
Below the stage, the players from the other top eight teams were also sitting in the guest seats in the front row, ready to watch the match.
"Shixi High. Not bad."
On Tongji Affiliated High School's side, the mid laner commented.
One of the top laners shook his head. "But I think Shisan will win this group. After all, that Lin Feng guy is too strong."
At the mention of this name, the members of Tongji Affiliated High School's team revealed expressions of lingering fear.
They clearly remembered the match against High School 13, as well as the terrifying dominance displayed by Dan Ruiwen in that match — — — — — —
It was still fresh in their minds.
They knew how strong Shixi High was. Last year, they had eliminated Shixi High in the top eight of the Sixteen School League. Even though they were strong, they didn't need to worry too much about them.
At the very least, they weren't as unconventional as High Thirteen.
On the Shanghai High School team's side, several players also had the same view on this group's match:
"I think High Thirteen will win."
"Yeah, that Lin Feng and that girl called Tang Tang are enough to make it to the semifinals." "Yeah.
"Then High School 13 is really a dark horse … They were eliminated in the first round last year, but this year they actually made it to the semifinals."
Several members of the Shanghai High School team whispered to each other.
Ceng Rui's expression was calm. His gaze swept over the High School 13 team on the stage, and he made a cold judgment in his heart.
This team would probably only be able to enter the top four.
…
When it came to the quarterfinals, the match schedule already had a clear division of the competition zone.
Today's matches for the first and second groups would be held in the upper half of the competition zone. The two teams that advanced to the semifinals would be opponents in the semifinals. The same principle applied to the third and fourth groups in the lower half of the competition zone.
In other words, if High School 13 could advance to the quarterfinals, then their semifinal opponent would almost be decided.
Shang Wai Fu Zhong team.
Last year's league runner-up team.
As the champion of last year's finals, Ceng Rui was very clear about the strength of the Shangwai Middle School team.
Indeed, that was an opponent that even he had to take seriously.
Ceng Rui expressionlessly swept his eyes over the High School 13 team.
Shang Wai Fu Zhong was different from the so-called dark horse team of High School 13. The former's five players were strong enough, and the team had no weaknesses. The captain of the mid lane and the A player at the bottom lane couldn't be underestimated either.
If these two teams met in the semifinals, Ceng Rui didn't think High School 13 had the slightest chance of winning.
Coincidentally, Ceng Rui wasn't the only one with this opinion.
On the other side of the VIP seats, the members of Shang Wai Fu Zhong shared the same opinion.
…
"That High School 13 … is that the High School 13 from last year?"
The jungler from Shang Wai Fu Zhong raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"The noob B team that we crushed last year?"
The support member next to him smirked. "Yeah, that's the team. I didn't believe it at first either. How could a noob B team like that make it to the quarterfinals? Could the opponents they faced before be even noobs? "
His tone was filled with undisguised disdain and mockery.
As the captain of the team's mid lane, Yan Liang, who was also one of the top KO Masters, waved his hand.
"That's enough. They made it to the quarterfinals this year. Maybe they've improved."
"Maybe they've improved in terms of luck?"
The first sentence seemed to be quite objective, but the second sentence directly changed the topic, with the same sarcastic tone.
He still remembered the competition with High School 13 last year. Their opponent's strength was so weak that they scratched their feet. Their high school easily crushed them as if they were eating and drinking.
"I remember that at the end of that match, they were staring at Old Liu's cannon kill. In the end, Old Liu got a triple kill instead. In the end, Old Liu danced in front of their fountain and taunted them ~"
The support member said with a chuckle.
Liu Zhengjie, who was a member of the A-team and was also a Master of Electro-Magician rank, smiled and replied lazily, "I'm not sure.
"They came looking for trouble. What could I do?"
"A bunch of noobs. If it wasn't for the lack of time, I would've gotten another penta kill."
At this time, the top laner next to him teased Liu Zhengjie.
"Old Liu, don't be too full of yourself. This year, High School 13's A player has changed to a girl. She's pretty good. If you go up against her, don't get crushed by her ~"
Liu Zhengjie shrugged.
"If it's a girl, I'll still go easy on her," Ye Zichen said.
"You have to show some gentlemanliness, don't you?"
Although he said that, the core A player of the team from Shang Wai Fu Zhong didn't really care about it.
He had the right to be so confident and arrogant.
After all, in last year's Sixteen School League, only two players were favored by the coaches of professional teams.
One was the support captain of last year's champion team, Shanghai High School, Ceng Rui.
The other one was him.
Thinking of Ceng Rui from Shanghai High School's team, Liu Zhengjie's eyes flashed with a hint of gloominess. In last year's finals, he had lost to the other side in the bottom lane. Even now, he could still clearly remember the feeling of being passive and suppressed at every turn.
This time, he would get his revenge.
As for High School 13 on the field right now …
They didn't even have the qualifications to enter his eyes.
… …
Amidst the excited cheers and applause from the students of High School 13's Esports Club, Team B3, the Esports Club of High School 13 won 2-0.
They had successfully advanced to the semifinals!
After the members of the eSports Association got off the stage, they were immediately surrounded by the members of the eSports Association who had come to watch and cheer for them. Everyone hugged each other excitedly.
Semifinals!
This was also the best result that High School 13's Esports Club had ever achieved.
Now, every step they took in the Shanghai 16 School League was creating a historical record!
"Not bad!"
Su Xue was also beaming with joy as she praised Lin Feng.
"You didn't lose face for me!"
Lin Feng said matter-of-factly. "Of course! I'm really good! "
"You little bastard! Just a few words of praise and you're getting all cocky!" Su Xue ruffled Lin Feng's hair. "Is it over now? Or do you guys want to watch a bit longer?"
Lin Feng scratched his head. "Oh. Let's watch a bit longer. The semifinals are about to be decided in the second group."
At the same time, when the second group of the quarter-finals had already begun, Chu Fang Nan was making a phone call backstage.
The man on the other end was Chu Fangnan's boss and the president of the Shanghai Esports Association.
Fang Hao.
Chu Fangnan was reporting the progress of today's Sixteen School League to his own president. His tone was respectful.
There weren't many people he respected in this circle, but Fang Hao was definitely one of them.
Even he himself had been groomed and promoted by Fang Hao. To Chu Fang Nan, Fang Hao's existence was like a guide, a mentor.
"That's pretty much it."
Chu Fangnan roughly reported on the organization of today's competition over the phone.
"Everything is going according to plan."
On the other end of the phone, Fang Hao laughed. His steady and magnetic voice carried a reassuring and convincing aura.
"Ah Nan, I trust you in handling things."
I'll leave the Shanghai Sixteen School League to you. Nothing will go wrong. "
Chu Fangnan smiled and said sincerely, "You're too kind, Fang Hao.
"Brother Fang, you're too kind. To be honest … I still miss the days when I went to work with you at the World Finals."
Fang Hao paused for a moment. He seemed to feel a little nostalgic.
"Those days … It was the S1 season, right?
