The reasoning was simple and easy to understand.
'I can help you, but helping you is equivalent to harming you, so I won't help you, and I can't help you.'
'But there's another problem, because if I don't help you, and you rely on your own strength, it's almost impossible for you to see any hope of success.'
So, in Number One's words, it was a "huge gamble".
It was indeed a huge gamble.
No matter how nonchalant Number One sounded, Li Shiyi could not help but feel bitter as he realized the cruel truth of the situation. This was because the scale of this gamble was no longer the small gamble of a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars. It was almost the entire future of the national server that was at stake.
Victory and defeat …
It would decide whether the entire professional esports scene would be overturned or not.
That's right, they could understand the logic behind it. The entire server seemed to be holding on to their last breaths as they charged forward with all their might. If they let their guard down, it would be difficult for them to regain that indomitable will to fight and fight.
But this made an incomparably terrifying thought rise in Li Shiyi's mind once again — — —
What if …
What if they were to charge forward with their last breath, only to run into an iron plate in the end?
What if in this S6 World Finals, the three teams in the LPL division still ran into SSK and the other European and American teams and were beaten to a pulp in the face?
Things like spirit, energy, and spirit were things that could only be exhausted by the third time … Their national server was only left with their last bit of faith. How many more heavy blows and exhaustion could they withstand?
Li Shiyi suddenly raised his head and looked at Number One expectantly.
"Senior, about this S6 World Finals …"
"Is there a chance!?"
If it was a few years ago, Li Shiyi might not have had much hope or expectation for the LPL division, but this year … Anyone could see that the overall atmosphere of the LPL division was undergoing a complete transformation. Everyone was improving, and this time, it was with the help of several legendary seniors —
Taking Team God as an example, Morning Star had regained his confidence and pride as a top professional mid laner, and had reached the threshold of the Yonkō. Wildsnow Nightsong was also slowly finding his way to a breakthrough under the guidance of Number Five's Synchronized Mode.
This would allow the current strongest team on the national server to rise to another level in terms of overall strength.
Everything …
All the conditions and factors were far better than any previous season.
Under such circumstances, perhaps in this year's S6 World Finals, their chances of becoming champions in the LPL would be the highest ever!
However, in the face of Li Shiyi's hopeful gaze, Number One only nodded slightly.
"Champion?"
"Theoretically, it should be about thirty to forty percent."
Before Li Shiyi could express his excitement, Number One had already added on, "That's right, Li Shiyi, Number One.
"However —"
"If it's according to my criteria, the chance of winning is only 10%."
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, instantly extinguishing the flames of hope and passion. Even at this moment, Number One still mercilessly added a sentence that completely cut off all hope.
"And 10%."
"In other words, it's basically impossible to succeed."
When Li Shiyi heard that, he felt as if he had suddenly lost all his strength. He almost staggered a step, and his face instantly turned pale.
Such words.
With his status and experience as a professional esports player, if it were anyone else, they would not have been able to affect him in such a manner. However, the person who said such words was Number One —
One could imagine how he felt.
When the most legendary senior in the history of esports in the country, and even the entire history of esports in the country, who was like a god in the hearts of countless esports players, personally made such a merciless and cruel judgment, it was a fatal blow to anyone who had any expectations for the S6 World Finals.
The upcoming S6 …
It had not even begun, but it seemed like the outcome had already been announced.
But if that was really the case … then what was the point of the countless hopes and expectations of the players, and the hard work of the LPL clubs?
Li Shiyi's expression was a little blank. His gaze swept over the members of God who were not far away from him, as well as the other spectating members who were either amazed, excited, or excited. At this moment, his mind was in a state of chaos.
Number One did not seem to want to explain any further.
However, his gaze was also calmly sweeping across the young and lively faces in the club's training room. Only the deepest part of his eyes flickered with a faint light.
Some words …
Even to close juniors like Li Shiyi, he could not say it out loud.
Because —
The truth was indeed too cruel.
In the upcoming S6 finals, even if he, Xiao Wu, and Number Three came out of seclusion to help, even if the top players of the new generation like Huangxue Nightsong and Morning Star could make a breakthrough, it was still almost impossible for them to fight for the S6 finals championship.
However, such an effort and the result that was destined to come was not meaningless.
Number One's eyes slightly drooped.
But …
Everything was still paving the way for the future.
In fact, it was even more cruel and cold. Right now, they were all like the "sacrifices" before the final curtain fell.
Was it cruel?
Was it worth it?
Was it fair?
For a moment, some thoughts flashed through his mind, causing the light in Number One's eyes to flicker and fluctuate, affecting his state of mind. However, he immediately calmed down. The expression on the face of this unique legend in the eSports circle returned to normal. There was almost no other expression on his face. He nodded slightly —
Some prices had to be paid in the first place.
ESports …
It had always been this cruel.
…
The training match on the field finally came to an end.
A team battle broke out in the bottom lane in front of the high ground of the purple team. After Angel on the blue team was instantly killed by the focus fire, under the command of the ADC, Big Mouth, he set off a wave of shocking counterattacks.
First kill Jess.
Then take Mantis.
Then Sunmaiden.
Next was the ADC, Verus, who could not escape from the skill control, and finally fell under the bombardment of Big Mouth's ultimate attack.
"Quadrakill (quadruple kill)!!! — — "
The female system voice's kill announcement was passionate and resounding, echoing in the ears of everyone in Summoner's Canyon and the training room of the GOD Club, announcing the final outcome of this match.
Only Lin Feng and Morning Star worked together to control Enchantress Lefran to escape from the terrifying output of Big Mouth's machine gun, but it was already too late to change the course of the battle.
A few seconds later.
The two front towers of the purple team base were destroyed one after another.
In the end, in a distorted light, the base crystal exploded and turned into ruins.
Lin Feng and Morning Star both sighed with regret. On the opposite side, in the blue team's ADC seat, Number Five still had a smile on her face as she stood up cheerfully. What welcomed her was a thunderous roar of applause and cheers in the club's training room.
Below the field, in the back row of the spectators, Number One shook his head and put away his thoughts. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Yes."
"Today … is about time."
