Even with the passing of generations, there were still some strong players whose names were engraved in the annals of esports history.
For example, 1, 5, and a few others.
For example, Lee Daozai.
For example, Crow and J in Europe.
For example, Bullet in North America.
And so on and so forth.
That era was also a time of competition between strong players, and even God-level players. Back then, the competition was far more intense and shocking than it was today.
Amidst so many experts from the previous generations, when almost every single Divine level existence was extremely dazzling, there were still a very small number of special cases who kept a low profile and kept a low profile.
But just because they were low-key and reserved didn't mean they could be ignored.
In fact …
Perhaps the calmer and more reserved one was, the more terrifying one's strength would be that no one could ignore.
Actually, there was a very simple reason. Lin Feng suddenly remembered that in the previous generation, there had also been an All-star Competition. It wasn't a competition between teams, but rather a competition between regions. Every region had countless top-tier players, and the strongest players had to be chosen to compete against each other at the peak of the competition.
In layman's terms, it was called a war between nations.
Back then, there was no doubt that it was the team led by Number One that emerged victorious in almost every 'Nation War'.
But the one ranked second below him …
"Of course it's Korea."
Su Xue, who was hugging a pillow on the sofa, answered without hesitation. There wasn't much suspense to this question. After all, Korea's professional esports scene had always been one of the most developed and flourishing places in the world. Just being suppressed by the Chinese server back then was already a legend created by Number One's team. Apart from Number One's team … there was no one else in Korea that could rival them.
Moreover, apart from No.1, Lee Dao-jae, who had single-handedly created the "F" legacy, was also the undisputed king of Korean e-sports, second only to No.1. His status was firmly ranked second in the world. With such qualifications, how could he allow his Korean team to be pushed down to third place?
Lin Feng nodded, then shook his head.
"That's right, second place is Korea.
But Sister Xue, have you ever thought that back then … the top players in the other regions were also terrifying?
"Back in the day, Korea did have Lee Do-jae, but if it was just him, don't forget that Europe had Crow, J, Ghost, Arrow, and Shield. That's a total of five old monsters.
No matter how strong Lee Daozai was, could he possibly beat five of Europe's top players? "
Lin Feng smacked his lips and gave his own assessment.
"Even if Senior 1 was here, he wouldn't be able to do it."
His words were reasonable and well-founded.
The reason why 'that' team from the previous generation was so strong, so invincible, and even became the only undefeated legend in the annals of esports was not because of the individual strength of the team, but precisely because the five members of 'that' team … were all so strong.
Su Xue subconsciously nodded, realizing that it was indeed the case. Then, she suddenly came to a realization. "So, you're saying …"
Lin Feng nodded.
"Yeah.
The only reason Korea was able to suppress Europe back then was because apart from Lee Daozai, they also had a M. "
Even though Su Xue had mentally prepared herself, she still couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Just because of that?"
"Just because they had a M. Back then, Korea was able to suppress five of Europe's top players with just two players?"
It was originally a 1v5.
Now it was a 2v5.
Just by looking at the numbers on paper, it didn't seem like the two sides were evenly matched.
Lin Feng shook his head again. "You can't underestimate Lee Daozai. Also, you can't underestimate that M."
Lin Feng's tone carried a hint of respect.
… …
Even if they were both gods.
They were still existences that stood at the top of the esports pyramid in the previous era.
However, there was still a difference in the realm of strength between the strong and the weak. For example, No. 1 could stand firmly on the top of the Legendary Realm. Below him would be Li Daozai, followed by Crow, who was only a hair's breadth away from him. Below them would be No. 3, No. 5, and perhaps that J from Europe — —
Among the god-like powerhouses of the past, players like Shield, Arrow, and Ghost were probably at the bottom of the rankings.
These were all players that people were familiar with.
As for the remaining few who were more low-key and introverted, such as the mysterious Bullet from North America, Lin Feng had heard from Number One that Bullet's level was slightly below Crow and Lee Daozai's level, but above Number Three and Number Five's level, somewhere in the middle between the two levels.
But as for the M. He was so low-key that he was overshadowed by all the other powerhouses of his generation. Back in Korea, he was so ordinary that no one would compare him to Lee Daozai.
"He's no weaker than Lee Daozai and Crow."
Lin Feng said in a serious tone.
"In some ways, he might be stronger."
Even with a certain someone's strength and status, he wasn't qualified to say something like that to a powerhouse of that level. Therefore, he wasn't the one who had said those words in the first place. He was merely quoting and paraphrasing.
The first person to make such an evaluation was also Number One.
"It's that ridiculous?" Su Xue's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Since when did the concept of "strong" become so worthless? She had always thought that Lee Dao-Jae was the strongest player in the last generation of the Korean server. The appearance of Crow in Europe was already shocking enough, but now there was a M who was on par with Lee Dao-Jae in the last generation of the Korean server?
Even though Li Daozai and this M. They were seen together at the S5 finals last year, it was just a flash in the camera. The cameraman didn't pay much attention to him at all. He was so ordinary that he looked like an ordinary passerby or Lee Daozai's assistant.
But such an extremely ordinary and low-key person …
Was actually …
The M. He was the most terrifying player in the game!?
It wasn't that Su Xue wasn't aware of the M's identity and status, but she hadn't personally witnessed the events of that era. So, even if she knew the M's status and strength, she couldn't truly understand just how terrifying the other legend of Korea was.
Lin Feng nodded.
"It's that ridiculous."
So … it was a bit embarrassing to say the least.
Back in the previous generation, the true powerhouses had gathered. For example, there were only a few "Four Emperors" in the new generation. Back then, they were the weakest among the top fighters in each of the major competition zones. At that time … every World Tournament was truly a battle of gods.
Compared to them.
Now, even the upcoming S6 season seemed to be a little small compared to them.
