In Lin Feng's new team, Kamiya Saka, Dou Zi, Ceng Rui, and Tang Bingyao were among the strongest players in the current League of Legends, excluding Kamiya Saka, who would occasionally come in as a jungler, Dou Zi, Ceng Rui, and Tang Bingyao.
Dou Zi alone was already strong enough to solo-queue Kings, and she had her own little tricks up her sleeves. With a little more training, it wouldn't be a problem for her to reach the passing line of a professional player.
As for Ceng Rui …
His ability as a support had been noticed by the Shanghai Esports Association more than a year ago. They had recorded him down and planned to spend a lot of effort on him in the future. He had a wealth of combat experience, and more importantly, he had a serious and calm personality. His playstyle was almost perfect for a professional player. Even Fang Hao, the big boss of the Shanghai Esports Association, had once said:
"This kid has the potential to become the number one support in the country."
Therefore, it could be said that in Lin Feng's new team, every member had a lot of potential and had a lot of room for growth in the future.
But …
In comparison.
Tang Bingyao, the ADC, was an even more special exception.
Whether it was natural talent or strength, Tang Tang was second only to Lin Feng. Lin Feng wasn't stingy when it came to natural talent. He believed that Tang Tang's natural talent wasn't inferior to his own in the slightest.
It was just that Tang Tang's development as an ADC was a bit strange. She had practically developed her ADC skills to the extreme. Her reaction speed and hand speed had completely surpassed the standards of top players. But in many areas, she didn't have the rigor and meticulousness that a professional player should have.
In this aspect, even Dou Zi was better than Tang Bingyao, let alone Ceng Rui. So in the past, Ceng Rui had always been the one to take care of all the details and arrangements.
Logically speaking, under these circumstances, if they were to choose someone to train with God, Quick Water, and KG in the Scrimmage, it should have been Ceng Rui, who had a more mature playstyle and was closer to the pro scene. Even Dou Zi could have been the second choice. Tang Bingyao, who only had a bit of skill, but no other aspects, should have been the last choice.
But when it came to No.1 …
The girl's "specialized development" was in line with some of his requirements.
"What I want is Tang Tang's individual operating ability."
Number One casually gave his own explanation in an understated tone.
Li Shiyi, who was sitting at the table, was a little dazed as he listened, unable to understand the meaning behind Senior Number One's words. Meanwhile, Number Five, who was beside him, was already helping to further explain with a smile.
"Looks like Ah Zeng or Dou Zi are more suitable."
"But in fact, Tang Tang might be a better candidate to be a sparring partner than you, Eleven."
"Because if you just want to find someone with a more mature style and professional awareness as a sparring partner, there are plenty of such people in the domestic Esports circle. Any professional player from a second-tier or third-tier team would be more suitable than Ah Zeng, Dou Zi, and the others."
"But Tang Tang is different."
"As for her … she just so happens to have a strong specialty that almost the majority of the professional players in the national server can't compare to."
Number One nodded slightly and leisurely picked up where his fiancée left off.
"Yeah."
"That girl Tang Tang … in terms of pure operating ability, she's basically not much worse than God's Song of the Snowy Night. In fact, she might even be stronger because of her pure operating ability."
This was already an unprecedented high evaluation, and it was actually given to an ordinary girl who hadn't even entered the professional scene yet.
Li Shiyi was shocked at first, but then he felt relieved.
He thought back to the scenes he had seen when he and Tang Bingyao were teammates, or even just spectators. At that time, he had only thought that Tang Bingyao's operating ability and hand speed were amazing, but now that he thought about it …
It seemed.
Senior Number One's evaluation wasn't exaggerated at all.
Lin Feng nodded with an incomparably natural expression. "Oh, more or less. In terms of pure operating ability, there aren't many players in the national server who are better than Tang Tang."
He was the one who had the most right to speak on this matter.
Back then, when he first met Tang Tang, he was attracted by the girl's aggressive playstyle and hand speed as an ADC. That was why he immediately thought of recruiting her. That hand speed … even he couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Moreover, from the past until now, there were only a few people in the esports circle who could focus on pure hand speed to such an extent.
And every single one of them was already an existence with a thunderous reputation in the esports scene.
Therefore, Number One's arrangement made complete sense. Being a sparring partner for top teams like God and Speed Water wasn't a task that anyone could take on. There were plenty of normal professional players who could be sparring partners, but for a player like TangTang, who walked the unconventional path and had almost reached a breathtaking level in a certain field … there really weren't many people like her in the national server right now.
"With Tang Tang around, God and Speed Water's members can specifically train in the bottom lane. They can also sharpen their guns at the last minute and improve a little bit."
Number One casually came to a conclusion.
"Out of the three teams that have advanced to S6, aside from God, Speed Water and KG's bottom lanes are still quite problematic. They're still a bit weak in the early game."
This point was perfect for a sparring partner like Tang Bingyao, who was comparable to a first-rate pro player.
Of course.
It wasn't to the extent that she was qualified to give pointers to the first-rate pro players of the national server. More importantly, it was to give Tang Bingyao a chance to improve.
"That girl's overall ability is still a bit lacking. It's fine for now, but if she really wants to reach a higher goal in the future, she definitely can't be like this."
The corner of No. 1's mouth raised slightly. "That's perfect. In the domestic server … there's no better choice than God, Quick Water, and KG, the top professional teams in the domestic server, who can quickly mature her playstyle and awareness into a professional player."
It was a perfect kill two birds with one stone.
Both sides were mutually beneficial.
Lin Feng beamed. "You're wise, Senior!"
Number One glanced over. "Enough with the flattery. Work harder tomorrow. They don't have much training time left in China."
That's right.
There were less than ten days left until the S6 World Championship finals.
Soon, the three Chinese LPL clubs would also have to rush to the venue of the European group stage. Once there, they would have to face off against the world's top teams.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Chinese server was currently preparing for the event. The other participating teams, be it the European or Korean regions, were definitely not inferior to the Chinese server in terms of their preparations.
Lin Feng was optimistic. "It's not too bad. We have you, Senior Three, and Xiao Wu. The other regions don't have a coach of this caliber to help them prepare for the finals."
Number One raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Feng with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Oh?"
"Don't be too sure."
"Some things … aren't necessarily true."
There was a hint of meaning in his tone, as if he had already seen through the truth.
