Sometimes, it could even give people the wrong impression.
It was as if …
It seemed that there was also the so-called luck in the world of professional esports. Every year, every season, there were only so many top professional players. When there were one or two big years where top players emerged and shone brilliantly, the following years might be mediocre and lack of outstanding new blood.
For example, for the vast majority of League of Legends players, the most exciting and intense S League seasons were S2 and S3. Later on, S4 and S5 were slightly mediocre. There weren't many exciting and exciting matches. It was as if the most exciting things had been used up in earlier years.
Another example was …
The changes and changes between generations.
Even Lin Feng couldn't help but have this kind of thought when he was in a trance.
Could it be … because there were too many seniors and legends in the previous generation, they dominated too much of the "luck" in the esports circle. Then, mysteriously, the younger generation of the new generation could only perform mediocre?
If the second half of this sentence was said to anyone, it would probably attract a lot of eye rolling and refutation.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Mediocre? Didn't you see the Seven Kings and Four Emperors? "
"How can this be called mediocre? If you're so good, why don't you go?"
But …
Some things were really just determined by comparison.
Of course, in the current generation of professional esports, there were the so-called Seven Kings and Four Emperors. They stood at the top of the pyramid, and each of them had the strength to make the esports circle tremble with a stomp of their feet.
Of course, each of the Four Emperors could be said to have touched the peak of professional esports. Each of them had their own unique and outstanding style.
Of course, there was Phoenix, the last hit machine who was invincible in the late game; Moon Emperor, the Moon Emperor, who was as cold as a wolf when it came to attacking; Autumn, the Emperor of Autumn, who was known as the God of Help and had almost reached the pinnacle of strategic command; and F- Han Shihao, the leader of the Four Emperors, who had been indifferent and calm since Season S1.
All of these were existences that any player in the new generation could only look up to.
It was enough to fascinate them.
It also made them feel proud. It was an honor to be able to live in the same era as such a group of top-notch and dazzling experts.
However —
In the previous generation …
There was a number one.
There were numbers three, five, two, and four.
There was the first generation "F" Lee Do-jae of Korea's eSports King, and there was M who was stronger than the current world's God of Support, Autumn.
There was Europe's Crow and J, the immovable defense of Shield, the fiery offense of Arrow, and the bewitching, ghost-like Ghost.
There was also Bullet in North America.
Perhaps, there was more.
Their IDs, names, and silhouettes were imprinted on the most glorious pages of the history of professional eSports. They represented the most deserving legends, and as the legends looked at each other from afar, they formed the most magnificent scene of the entire era.
That was the most magnificent era.
However, speaking of which, Lin Feng remembered very clearly that even among the top players of the previous generation, there weren't many who were not casually evaluated by Senior No. 1.
Even the strongest person in Europe, Crow, was nothing more than a "damned crow" from his mouth. The other top European figures from the previous generation were still not worth mentioning. Lee Do-jae from Korea and the mysterious Bullet from North America were perhaps the only opponents that could make No. 1 raise his spirits and treat them seriously.
Now …
There was one more person, M.
Lin Feng remembered that he rarely heard Senior No. 1 make any comments about Korea's previous generation's player who was on par with Lee Do-jae. The only time he remembered was when Senior No. 1 said this:
"M. …"
"Fortunately, his other teammates weren't that good."
"Otherwise, he would have been more troublesome than Lee Do-jae or that damned crow in Europe."
Although there was no direct evaluation of M's strength, some of the information revealed from the side was already terrifying enough.
So sometimes, when Lin Feng was bored, he would think like many of the players on the forums. If Korea's M and North America's Bullet, two players who had reached the pinnacle of their respective fields, were to team up against Senior One and Sister Xiao Wu …
In a 2v2, what were the odds of victory?
Apart from the few people involved, there was probably no one in the world who had the qualifications or strength to easily make a judgment or guess.
…
Of course, back to everything —
After digesting the shocking gossip, the upcoming S6 season seemed to have begun to reveal more things behind the scenes.
* * *
It began to spread more and more intensely.
In the Chinese server, there were legendary players like No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 personally coaching a few LPL teams. At the same time, in the Korean server, even the most low-profile and secretive player, M, had been invited. It seemed like he was going to be a special coach for Fate.
"Is it just for the Fate Club?"
Su Xue asked doubtfully. Lin Feng thought for a moment before nodding. "Hmm, it's hard to say. I don't think a godly senior like him would care too much about which team's results."
Take the Chinese server for example. If No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 were only there to help a specific team fight for something, then even God wouldn't have the face to do so.
The only reason these legends from the previous generation were able to make a comeback was because of the interests of an entire country.
All personal things had to be put aside.
Furthermore —
"If even M is coming out …" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
Lin Feng was deep in thought. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Then, Senior Number One's greatest opponent … should also come out of seclusion."
Of course, it could only be one person. The King of Korean esports, Lee Dao-jae.
In fact, after making this deduction, some of the remaining clues were also connected. With the overall strength of Korea's professional esports team, and the current condition and skill of teams like Fate and SSK, they were the strongest contenders for the S6 finals. Logically speaking, there was no need for Lee Dao-jae or Team M to step into the fray.
Therefore, there could only be one truth to the answer.
Su Xue suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Feng. "You mean …."
Lin Feng nodded.
"Yeah."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be those two from Korea. They're already at loggerheads with No. 1 and Xiao Wu."
They're at loggerheads.
Lin Feng's words sounded a little crude and blunt.
But his words were crude, and he accurately guessed some truths with a single sentence.
Su Xue couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Then this year's S6 season … is going to be even more complicated than I thought."
