Lin Feng had heard too many of these words recently.
Basically, every word of gratitude came from top professional players like Snowy Nightsong and Morning Star. And this time, Phoenix, who was also one of the Yonko, had to be counted in as well.
Each of them was more than the last, so much so that it was frightening.
But he could still accept every word of gratitude calmly.
Because compared to these one or two words of gratitude, what he had given and what the other party had received was definitely much, much more.
Just like in the second round …
He had really gone all out and fought with his life on the line.
He had tried his best to demonstrate how a mid laner should deal with a disadvantageous situation in the mid and late stages of the team battle. He had demonstrated it to the fullest.
Without holding anything back.
This was almost equivalent to a mid laner of the Yonko imparting everything he had learned, including his understanding of heroes, the use of playstyles, the control of rhythm, and the overall situation …
Most people might not be able to understand it and would only feel dazzled.
But only those who had reached Phoenix's level would truly understand how important it was and how much help it would be to him.
Of course.
In the end, the blue side still lost.
But there was really no other way. Although it seemed that Lin Feng still couldn't turn the tables and escape the fate of losing this round, the truth was not that simple.
The Little Fishman he was controlling had indeed reached the peak of what a Tidal Sea Spirit could achieve.
But …
After Phoenix, who had replaced Sindera, returned to the style he was most familiar with, his performance was also more stable and calm than in the previous round, and also more powerful.
And under this premise, Lin Feng was able to force his opponent into a corner in a situation that was equivalent to being "alone". This was already the most powerful proof of his Little Fishman control.
Therefore, he had completed a successful demonstration of the Little Fishman's teaching.
Needless to say, Phoenix, who was the one receiving the lesson, could easily understand what he meant.
There were many other Legend players offstage who didn't understand, but they were quickly reprimanded by their own team leader or coach.
"Where did your brains go!"
"Do you still think that the Little Fishman's performance this round wasn't perfect enough?"
"Look at this round. How much harder did the purple side have to win than the last round?"
"Do you think your captain can do this if he's controlling this Inferior Man-Fish?"
"Think about it, if Phoenix's Little Murlocs were at this level in the first round … or at this pace, would the blue team even have a chance to survive? Why would it take close to 30 minutes? Maybe it would be over in 20 minutes! "
Finally, the members of the Legend team came to their senses one after another. Their gazes towards a certain someone were filled with even more admiration and admiration — —
A guru who could give a teaching demonstration to their captain, Phoenix …
That was way too awesome!
"It's almost done, right?" At that moment, Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Phoenix, protesting, "Don't make me fight anymore, I'm already tired enough."
He was really tired.
It was even more tiring than when he accompanied the three families to train in the Longteng eSports Hall.
These two matches … especially the second match, it was as if he had played an entire set of 'best-of-five' matches, and he was almost exhausted. Didn't you see that he was sweating profusely just now? To maintain this kind of high-intensity Little Man-Fish operation for more than thirty minutes would be a huge drain on his stamina, spirit, and concentration.
"You're tired already?"
Phoenix looked up and raised an eyebrow at a certain someone.
"Your stamina isn't very good right now … You'll have to adjust it."
There was a hint of mockery in his tone.
But this wasn't some so-called "joke between men." For professional esports players, stamina and endurance were incomparably important qualities. In fact, it wasn't any less important than a person's technical ability.
Many a time, ordinary gamers would see a professional team or certain professional players perform well in the regular season, achieving gratifying results one after another. But when it came to the end of the season, their performance would be "abnormal."
The World Finals was also a good example. Some teams had been triumphant in the group stage and obtained first place in the point rankings, but when it came to the quarterfinals, they seemed to wither.
While it was incomparably frustrating, people couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
In fact, the reason was very simple.
Because whether it was the regular season of the regular season or the group stage of the World Finals of the S Series, they basically used a single match system of 'best-of-one' matches. In this kind of single match system, a professional team or some professional players could play to their fullest potential within 30 to 40 minutes, displaying 100% of their ability.
But when it came to the knockout stage of the World Finals, or the semi-finals of the regular season, they would use a system of 'best-of-three' or even 'best-of-five' matches.
This wasn't a single-match system.
It was a battle of endurance.
It was a battle of endurance.
It wasn't just the one-sided strength of the players or the team, but also the endurance and endurance of the players.
Perhaps you could play extremely ferociously in the first two matches, but as the match progressed, your stamina and condition would inevitably begin to decline. You wouldn't be able to perform at the same level as you did in the first two matches. Then, you would be able to turn the tables against your opponent who was in a stable state until the end.
This kind of situation had occurred in the LPL region before. Back in the year of S5, there was a summer finals between Team God and Team Dust- Dust. In the 'best-of-five' match, Team Dust exploded in form and won two consecutive matches, forcing Team God into a desperate situation with a score of 2: 0.
At that time, almost everyone felt that Team Dust had victory in their grasp.
But …
It was from that moment onwards that the members of the Dust team had expended too much stamina and energy in the first two high-intensity matches. Towards the end, their condition began to deteriorate, allowing the God team to seize the opportunity to win the third match. Following that, the God team continued to shock the audience in the fourth and fifth matches.
It was a textbook example of a two-against-three match.
From then on, the various teams and clubs in the LPL region began to place a high priority on training their players' stamina and endurance. Not only did they train their players in actual combat, they even hired professional fitness and physical trainers to train their players' physical fitness.
"If you want to play a good 'best-of-five' match, you first need to ensure that your stamina can last at least five hours."
This was something that a retired pro player had said while chatting on a live stream.
It was very accurate.
So at this moment, although Phoenix's words to Lin Feng were ridiculing him, they were also a warning.
Lin Feng listened and nodded. His expression became a little more solemn.
"Yeah."
"This … is a must."
