Nian Thirteen's words were rather straightforward, but they were also quite true.
The current LMS division was not what it used to be. In the earlier seasons, when the League of Legends was just starting to take off, the major divisions were just getting started, and there were not as many strong teams and clubs as there were now. Back then, the teams in the LMS division were still a force to be reckoned with in the international arena.
However, as the professional league became more mature, the major divisions began to pay more attention to it, and the LMS division gradually fell into decline.
After all, it was only a small division, and it could not compare to Korea, where the entire esports system was fully formed. Similarly, it did not have a large player base like the LPL in China or the LCS in Europe and America. Therefore, the LMS division was becoming less competitive in the international arena.
Just by looking at the fact that Nian Thirteen's Hitman Squad had always been number one in the division from S1 to S6, one could see many problems.
Naturally, this had something to do with the Hitman Squad's strength, but on the other hand …
It also showed that the LMS division had not produced any truly strong teams that were strong enough to compete with the Hitman Squad.
Therefore, Nian Thirteen's words were filled with a sense of self-deprecation and regret.
When the tiger is away, the monkey is king.
After so many years of dominating the LMS division and winning the regional championship, one would eventually feel a little bored, and the sense of accomplishment would no longer be there. Instead, one could only look forward to the S-League world arena, where they would have the opportunity to fight against the truly strong.
Therefore, Nian Thirteen was indeed optimistic. Their LMS division might not be able to compete for the S-Series World Championship Trophy, but at the very least, he was still confident that he could compete with any of the world's top junglers.
"That's true."
Shi Hang nodded in agreement.
"If we're talking about junglers … I don't think there's anyone better than you."
Everyone in the elevator could only think of Mafa, the other seven ace jungler of SSK, who had been rivals with Nian Thirteen for a few seasons.
"There's also Nate from Europe's BW-BlueWallet."
Huangxue Nightsong reacted quickly and gave another example.
"This European rookie's jungler skill is also very high."
Nian Thirteen raised his eyebrows and nodded without concealing it. "Yes, that guy is something."
Speaking of which, it was also Nian Thirteen who first discovered Nate's existence in the Nightingale Dark Battle. At that time, Nian Thirteen had a conversation with Lin Feng on the Internet. Nian Thirteen specifically mentioned this European dark battle contestant and had a very high opinion of him.
Now, it seemed that he was right. He was now the top jungler with the highest reputation in Europe. His strength might even be on par with the Seven Kings.
"Of course, he's still not as good as me and Mafa."
Nian Shisan concluded calmly again.
In return, Shi Hang and Huangxue Nightsong rolled their eyes. "How shameless …" "The new generation excels the old, be careful not to get slapped to death."
On the other hand, Lin Feng, Ceng Rui, and Li Shiyi glanced at each other. Speaking of that Tang Squadron … the one they had encountered in the elevator didn't leave a good impression on them.
The observant Nian Thirteen noticed Lin Feng and the others' strange behavior and became suspicious.
"What happened?"
Lin Feng shook his head. "It's nothing. It's nothing."
After that, he gave a brief account of their encounter with the BW team member in the elevator with Anxin.
After hearing this, the LPL members could not help but show some anger on their faces. Even Morning Star's eyes, which were as calm as the Morning Star at Dawn, suddenly became colder.
"This kind of person … is too despicable."
Nian Thirteen sneered. "Even Nate wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of me. How can a mere BW jungler, who's not even a substitute, dare to be so arrogant? Leave this to me. I'll teach him a lesson when I meet him later."
Lin Feng shook his head.
"No need."
He paused for a moment before adding calmly, "I'll do it myself.
I'll do it myself. "
Nian Thirteen was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly realized something. "You're going to the mock competition tomorrow and the day after?"
Lin Feng said matter-of-factly, "Of course. I'm the LPL's personal sparring partner now."
…
When the elevator reached the first floor, everyone chatted as they walked out. When they reached the entrance of the lobby, they saw a few buses parked on the parking lot not far away. They quickly recognized the logo of the Korean LCK on the buses. It seemed that the LCK teams had returned early after checking out the venue.
However, they had just learned about Han Shihao. Now that they saw the LCK competition bus, they fell silent for a moment. Their emotions were complicated and intertwined.
Nian Thirteen shook his head and changed the topic.
"By the way, I saw the two seniors at the venue earlier … Li Daozai and M were there too."
"Senior No.1, No.5, and No.3 are here too, right?"
"Tsk, tsk. Almost all the legends from the previous generation are here. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen. The Europeans won't be far away. I wonder if the North American guru is here too."
There was a rare hint of longing in his tone.
Huangxue Nightsong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Senior Bullet?"
"F * ck … If I have a chance to meet that senior and receive some guidance … this trip to Manchester City is really worth it!"
Shi Hang squinted at him. "That's worth it? Don't you want to be the champion? "
What he got in return was a disdainful look from Wildsnow Nightsong.
"You don't know anything."
Indeed, for a top professional ADC player like Huangxue Nightsong, even if he was fortunate enough to receive guidance from the top legends of the previous generation like No.1 and No.5, in comparison … the North American legend of the previous generation still had a very unique and important position in the minds of the new generation ADC players of his level.
But when such a conversation fell into the ears of others, it made Li Shiyi, Lin Feng, and Ceng Rui look at each other strangely.
The three of them were quite wise not to say anything about Tang Tang.
After all, although everyone present had a close relationship with them, regarding the matter regarding the girl … they couldn't casually say it out.
It was too important.
It might even be more shocking than Han Shihao's 10-minute hand speed in the Gopher Challenge.
So …
It was better to keep it a secret for the time being.
"Hey, okay, don't talk about this." Lin Feng simply changed the topic. "So what do you want to eat?"
Everyone's attention was quickly diverted.
"Hot pot?"
"Hey, don't. We just had dinner. What's with two meals in a row?"
"What else is there to eat nearby?"
"Barbecue!"
"F * ck … there's barbecue in this kind of place?"
"There seems to be. I remember there's a small shop on the side of the road. Let's go have a look."
Amidst the hubbub, the crowd chatted as they walked into the distance in the night.
