When the original judgment and speculation in his heart were confirmed by Tito, Shi Hang could not help but feel surprised and excited for his old friend in front of him. His previous low spirits caused by losing the game were also diluted a little.
Because if that was the case …
There was really nothing to be unconvinced about.
His opponent was almost at the peak of the Seven Kings, and was even qualified to start challenging the threshold of the Yonkō. Against an opponent of this level, it was already very rare for Team Rapid Water to be able to take the initiative in the early and middle stages of the match.
Of course, although his mood was a little comforted, Shi Hang still felt a little regretful.
That was, his own strength was still a little lacking.
Even in the LPL region, his mid-laner level might be second only to Morning Star, but there was still a certain gap between him and Tian Tian and Morning Star, who were the flagbearers of the national server.
Maybe …
If he could go one step further and break through the threshold of the Seven Kings, then the result of the training match just now might be changed.
But these were all "ifs".
Now that there were only a few days left before the S6 World Finals, to have such a qualitative breakthrough in such a short time was really …
"It's not impossible."
Tian Tian suddenly spoke, looking at Shi Hang in front of him seriously. Shi Hang was a little taken aback as Tian Tian continued solemnly, "Don't forget, during the S5 last year, my situation was similar to yours, but it was during the group stage … that I suddenly had a breakthrough.
So … "
As he spoke, Tian Tian paused, reached out and patted Shi Hang's shoulder hard, as if to give sincere encouragement to his old friend.
"If I can do it … you can do it too!
Don't give up! "
Shi Hang looked at Tian Tian in a daze, who had a serious expression on his face. He suddenly felt his heart tremble a little. Some indescribable emotions were stuck in his chest, and he felt a little stuffy. He took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily and nodded firmly.
"Don't worry … I won't give up until the end!"
Then, his gaze fell on Tian Tian, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a confident smile.
"That was just the first round."
"Later … when we meet again, I won't let you get away with it so easily!"
Tian Tian sensed the change in his old friend's mentality, and revealed a sincere expression.
"Sure."
"Let's have another round later!"
…
Not only were they old friends, but they were also brothers, squads, and comrades who were fighting for the S6 World Finals. They had a competitive mentality that would not easily admit defeat, but there was no lack of encouragement and encouragement.
Just as Shi Hang and Tian Tiankong were talking, a leisurely voice came from not far away.
"It's good that you have the heart."
"Don't worry, there will be more opportunities for you to fight later."
There was a hint of calmness and amusement in his voice. Both of them instinctively raised their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw that Number One, who had been sitting in the front row of the spectator seats, had already stood up and was strolling towards them. The two of them hurriedly stood up.
"Senior!"
Number One walked up to the two of them and looked at the two juniors who had qualities that he admired. He nodded in satisfaction. He first looked at Tian Tian and said, "You played well. Your Senior Number Three has praised you." This made Tian Tian feel flattered. Then, he turned his gaze to Shi Hang.
"That means yes."
"But … your resolve is still a little lacking."
"Since you're the core of the team, you should fight more resolutely and fiercely."
That was … guidance.
In truth, when one reached Shi Hang's level, there was no need for others to judge and lecture him on the specifics of his maneuvers. After he fought, he could reflect on himself and realize the problem. What he needed … was nothing more than some guidance like what Number One was doing right now.
Yes.
He needed to be more resolute and fiercer.
Shi Hang nodded seriously to show that he had received the guidance. Then, Number One did not have the intention to say anything else. He just glanced at a corner of the spectator seats not far away. A certain person's figure was reflected in his eyes.
Then, he said casually, "But you can't rush this sort of thing.
You won't be able to figure it out if you fumble around alone.
"Let Young Feng fight in two more rounds. You can take a good look. You should have a better idea."
Shi Hang could not help but brighten up. "Is he going up later?"
Number One smiled. "Of course. Otherwise … do you really think that he's here just to be a spectator?"
…
At the end of the first match, the winner and the loser had been decided. However, whether it was the winner KG or the loser, Quick Water, both clubs had actually gained something. This was also the main purpose of tonight's training — to let the clubs learn from each other in the process of learning from each other and then improve each other.
In the second round, Rapid Water's Shi Hang and the others were left offstage. Number One ordered KG to go up again. This time, his opponent was God.
On God's side, Snowy Nightsong, Morning Star, and several other main players got up from their seats. The head coach and team leader walked over and patted them on the shoulder to encourage them.
"Play well!"
"KG is strong, but don't forget … our God is the number one player in the national server!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The God members roared in response.
The members of Rapid Water took their seats in the spectator seats. They adjusted their state of mind and prepared to watch the match. Shi Hang sat down next to Lin Feng. He was drinking red bean milk tea. He turned his head and glanced at the ace of Rapid Water sitting next to him.
"Hey, that wasn't good enough."
Only two people who were familiar enough with each other could express their opinions so bluntly. Shi Hang also nodded helplessly to acknowledge it, then asked in return, "What's the matter?
He then asked, "How confident would you be?"
Lin Feng's answer was unambiguous. "Jess? Then I don't think I have a chance. Fatty's Nale couldn't be defeated by your lineup from the start. I wouldn't be able to do it either. "
Hearing the hidden meaning behind Lin Feng's words, Shi Hang suddenly came to a realization.
"Is it because I didn't choose the right hero?"
Lin Feng looked askance at Shi Hang. "Yeah, Jess is strong in the early game, but in the middle of the team fights he's too weak. Since you're already prepared to carry the whole team, this kind of hero isn't enough. You have to choose something stronger."
Shi Hang hesitated. "You mean … Murlocs, Enchantresses?"
Lin Feng shrugged. "More or less. Anyway, that's what I mean. KG's mid is a notch worse than you. In the end, when he chose a card, you couldn't even defeat him in the early game. Don't even talk about last hits. That's too basic. You should solo a few more times in the early game anyway."
His words were quite old-fashioned. It made people wonder if this guy was boasting. KG's mid was at least a first-rate player in the national server. How could he solo kill him just because he said so? How many more times did he have to solo him?
But Shi Hang didn't doubt Lin Feng's words at all. Instead, he nodded in agreement. Then he asked humbly.
"Then what hero would you use if you were in my shoes?"
"The ones you just mentioned are fine too!" Lin Feng replied without even thinking, then quickly added, "Oh, actually, if you want to play brainlessly, it's better to play something less popular and make it harder for them to deal with. If it were me, I'd probably play something like Brightmoon Akali."
Akali.
Akali.
Shi Hang's eyes lit up. "That makes sense."
Although these heroes were unpopular and not considered the mainstream choices for mid laners in the current version, it was true that if the player was skilled enough and could use these unorthodox heroes, it was possible for the opponent to be caught unprepared and flustered, achieving the effect of winning by a surprise move.
Of course —
The prerequisite was that the player had to be strong enough to bring out the full potential of these less popular heroes. Otherwise, everything else was just empty talk.
With that in mind, Shi Hang patted Lin Feng's shoulder excitedly.
"Then in a bit … I'll be waiting to see you, Akali!"
