When faced with a problem, he wouldn't avoid it. Instead, he would face it head on and try his best to think and find a solution.
This had always been Lin Feng's attitude.
Especially when it came to stamina and stamina that a professional esports player should have. His knowledge and understanding was definitely no less than any veteran professional esports player.
During the S1 season, he was practically the youngest player in the entire world of professional esports. Whether it was his stamina, energy, or concentration, he was at the pinnacle of the professional esports scene at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Other professional esports players were envious of him.
At that time, he could easily deal with any set of 'best-of-three' or 'best-of-five' in the world of esports.
But now —
Even though he was barely twenty years old, he had to admit that his stamina, energy, and condition had gradually begun to pay attention to this issue of stamina.
It wasn't that his condition had started to decline, but because he had been in retirement for the past four to five years. He wasn't like other professional esports players who always maintained a rhythm of adapting to high-intensity competitive confrontations. He also didn't persist in any targeted physical and mental training every day. This had a significant impact on his competitive endurance.
Right now, his individual skill level might be quickly returning to its peak, but in terms of stamina and energy … he was far from being able to adapt to high-intensity competition like the other top professional esports players.
Just like just now, just two matches had already consumed a lot of his stamina and energy.
If he continued to play, his condition would undoubtedly decline, and it would be difficult for him to maintain his previous 100% performance.
This wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances.
But once he really returned to the professional scene, especially when he stood on the stage of the S Series World Finals in the future, it would definitely become a fatal factor.
In comparison, this was another reason why a certain someone admired his old friend and rival, Phoenix —
He was already twenty-six or twenty-seven years old …
He was still able to steadily withstand the pressure in all kinds of high-intensity BO3 and BO5 matches, and always maintained a stable state. He even shouldered the responsibility of commanding as the team leader, cutting his way through all the obstacles and bringing the team to the stage of this year's World Finals once again.
After just two matches, he had used up a lot of stamina, but Phoenix's stamina wasn't any less than his.
But he was already drenched in sweat, while his old friend … was still calm and composed.
This was the biggest difference between the two of them.
Lin Feng was confident that he would be able to compete with Phoenix in a single match under fair conditions. He even had a sixty percent chance of winning.
However, if it was a best-of-three, then his chances of winning might only barely be maintained at 50% or even 45%.
As for the 'best-of-five' —
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that a certain someone was confident that even though he had returned to the Yonko level, he only had a forty percent chance of winning against the current Phoenix.
Don't use excuses like "stamina doesn't mean strength".
This was a test of a professional esports player's overall ability.
The so-called Four Emperors …
He was also an existence that had to reach the top of the pyramid in all aspects.
Therefore, not to mention Phoenix, Autumn, who was widely recognized as the God of Support, or Han Shihao, who was the world's number one. Even Moon, who was ranked last among the Yonkō (Four Emperors), was slightly inferior to Lin Feng.
All in all, he needed to continue to strengthen his training.
If he wanted to return to his peak competitive state, he still needed some time.
But then again —
For Lin Feng, since he had yet to return to the competition this year, he still had plenty of time to adapt and adjust. However, for teams like Legend and Phoenix, time could only be counted in seconds.
Time was really tight.
Just look at them. Just this morning, they had only planned to look at the venue and do some on-site equipment debugging. After accidentally bumping into a certain someone, they immediately took the opportunity to start two mock matches to practice and find problems. Even if it was just to sharpen their guns at the last minute … they could at least hone their skills a little longer.
So even though Lin Feng was planning to leave after being a free sparring partner for two matches, the Legend team members, coach, and team leader in the conference room didn't plan to stop.
The last two matches had allowed many of the team members to get a feel for the game, and with a certain someone's sparring partner, they discovered many of the team's problems. They immediately took the opportunity to review and discuss in the conference room. They might even have to play another two matches later.
Lin Feng, who had completed his mission and repaid the favor, got up and prepared to leave. The Legend team members didn't forget to give him a round of applause to express their gratitude. At the same time, the team leader called Shawn came up to Lin Feng and handed him a business card. He was so enthusiastic that he even tried to curry favor with him in the future …
Their intentions were as clear as day.
Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned to look at Phoenix.
"Hey … aren't you guys a little too much?"
Really.
Phoenix's lips curled up into a smile.
"Just take the business card."
"As long as they know that you haven't officially joined a team, our team leaders and coaches will definitely not give up."
"And maybe you really should consider joining us?"
"It's a good experience to show off your skills in our European competition."
"Even you …" Lin Feng was speechless. He glanced at Phoenix. "If I really join your club, who's going to be the main mid?"
It could be said that this was a rather powerful provocative counterattack.
Indeed.
As the saying goes, two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. If a team had two Yonkō (Four Emperors) level midlaners …
Then who would be the main and who would be the sub would be a real headache. But no matter how troublesome it was, it was still a happy headache … There wasn't a single team in the world that had two Yonkō (Four Emperors) players in the same position …
In response to Lin Feng's provocative question, Phoenix's expression didn't change.
"That's not a problem."
"If you come to Legend, I can be your sub, or I can play as a jungler. I'm not bad at jungling."
Nearly choking on his words, Lin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Come on."
"How could you say something so shameless …"
Phoenix shrugged.
"Same to you."
