In order to prove that he was not a noob, Nian Thirteen stood up and rolled up his sleeves, ready to show off the true power of the LMS Champion.
But just as he was about to sit down in front of a computer, he suddenly realized something.
"F * ck, you're messing with me on purpose, aren't you?"
"You want me to be your sparring partner for free? Dammit, I haven't had dinner yet!"
Lin Feng remained calm and unruffled.
"So, are you going to fight or not?"
"Noob."
Provocation seemed to always work on the jungler captain of the Assassin Squad. The next second, Nian Thirteen sat down in front of the computer screen and glared at someone, gnashing his teeth.
"Just you wait … I'll kill you if you go to my opponent this round!"
Compared to his pride, dinner and whatnot were not important!
Since Nian Thirteen was going to fight, someone in the original ten-man lineup would have to leave. Li Shiyi looked around and said hesitantly, "Then … should I go? Steamed Bun is more suitable. "
His tone was sincere.
This was because his current strength was far from what it used to be. He was even inferior to the girl who had just demonstrated her jungling skills to the public today. He estimated that he would not be able to compete with his old rival, Nian Thirteen. Instead, he might be a burden to his teammates.
But when Lin Feng heard this, he waved his hand.
"No, you stay, Eleven."
He looked at his childhood sweetheart and said, "Steamed Bun, why don't you take a break?"
After a pause, he added casually, "You've been out for a whole day.
"We've been out for a whole day. Your body hasn't recovered yet. You can't be too tired."
Although she sounded nonchalant, her words still stunned An Xin. Then, her eyes sparkled, and she smiled.
"Okay, then I'll slack off for a while."
Some idiots …
Usually, he looked careless and crude, but in fact, he always had a considerate side to him.
Nian Thirteen had no objections to this arrangement. In fact, he even expressed his approval.
"Of course!"
"What's wrong with letting Steamed Bun go up? Of course I have to fight against Eleven — —"
As he spoke, Nian Thirteen began to rub his palms together, eager to get into action. Although he had just criticized his old rival for not being as strong as he used to be, this was a rare opportunity for him to take revenge on his bully!
…
Thus, another training battle soon began.
Apart from An Xin, who was watching from the sidelines, the other ten players were split into two teams. On the blue team was Lin Feng, Shi Hang, Li Shiyi, Tang Bingyao, and Shadow Puppeteer.
The purple team consisted of Tian Tian, Morning Star, Thought Thirteen, Huangxue Nightsong, and Ceng Rui.
Based on the overall strength on paper, there was not much difference between the two sides in terms of lineup allocation.
When Nian Thirteen logged into his uniform and began choosing his Ban, he glanced sideways at Li Shiyi, then at Lin Feng.
"You two are dead."
"I'll crush you!"
Li Shiyi's expression was slightly solemn, and a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes. After all, this was the first time he had fought against this old rival of his after so many years. Compared to him, who had yet to fully recover his strength, his opponent was at his peak. This round of jungling was destined to be a difficult and bitter battle for him.
In contrast, Lin Feng was much more indifferent. He looked up lazily at Nian Thirteen.
"Bring it on, noob."
In the past two years, professional tournaments in the LPL had become more and more mature. Not only did the decorations of the tournament arenas become more and more magnificent, but the media and the "peripheral" settings before and after the match had also become more and more systematic.
In order to present more content to the vast number of League of Legends players, the LPL officials cooperated with the ESPORTS Association and contacted various teams and clubs to produce a small program called "Hero Mike Madness". The main purpose of the program was to allow the players to show a more realistic side of themselves outside of the arena.
The basic format of the program was very simple. The players in front of the camera would accept an interview and answer the host's questions. In other words, the players would provoke and comment on each other. Another term in the circle was "trash-talking" or "flirting".
In the LPL, God's Snowy Nightsong, Team Mingguang's jungler Golden Flash, and Team Rapid's "Addisi" Shi Hang were the best at this kind of thing. The latter, in particular, had a large number of fans in the national server, which had a lot to do with his ability to talk dirty.
In comparison, people like Morning Star or Tian Tian, who were calm and collected, seemed a little dull in the face of this kind of microphone segment, especially the latter, who had a simple and honest personality. Forcing the fatty to say obscene words really put him in a difficult position, and he would be so anxious that he would sweat profusely and stutter every time.
But then again —
As a former teammate, Lin Feng's level of trash-talking and provocation was obviously not just a little bit better than Fatty's.
It was obvious just by looking at Nian Thirteen sitting opposite him, who was seething with anger, and the other players who were overjoyed.
Of course.
At the end of the day, they still had to rely on their own strength to determine the winner in Summoner's Rift.
The blue and purple teams had finished choosing their heroes, and the countdown ended. As the progress bar of the game interface loaded, everyone's computer screens switched to the game map at the same time.
In front of the computer screen, whether it was Lin Feng, who was lazy just a moment ago, or Nian Thirteen who was flustered and exasperated, at this moment, their expressions suddenly became serious.
It was open.
…
For this round, on the blue team, Lin Feng chose Kenan as the top laner.
On the opposite side, Tian Tian chose Rambo, the enemy of machines.
In fact, before Nian Thirteen came to the training room, the team had already played two or three mock matches. On the top lane, Lin Feng and Tian Tian basically chose more casual heroes, such as Blademaster and Swordsmiths.
However, after a few rounds of fun, they still had to be serious. After all, Tian Tian's team still had to compete in the world finals, and both Rambo and Kenan belonged to the type of heroes that were most likely to appear in the current version of the game.
As for Kenan versus Rambo, as a long-ranged hero, he naturally had an advantage in the early stages of the game. Moreover, the current patch was different from the past. Kenan had started to take the AD route, which was to further increase the pressure and attrition of his opponents in the early stages of the game.
Under normal circumstances, if Lin Feng controlled Kenan to play against Rambo, no matter what class the top laner was, Lin Feng would be confident that he would be able to easily suppress his opponent.
However, the situation was different now that his opponent was his former teammate, Fatty.
Back in Season S1, a certain someone had played countless solo matches with Fatty. He knew very well that his teammate's ability to fight in a lane was not the best, and he lacked the strong attack power of other top laners in the world. However, when it came to his ability to withstand pressure, no one could compare.
"Basically, a Circle God top laner can't be crushed."
"No matter how many people target him."
This was the evaluation given by many professional top laners and some professional commentators to Tian Tian.
Lin Feng had always been very proud of his teammate.
However, now that his teammate had become his opponent …
It was a real headache.
