All of a sudden, King and Cog's teams were about to start their second training match. This situation caught everyone, including Lin Feng, Tang Bingyao, and the others by surprise.
Tang Bingyao's gaze swept across the players of the two teams who had returned to their seats. In the end, her gaze lingered on Seven for a moment. She spoke with some uncertainty and uncertainty.
"Are you … unconvinced?"
This kind of speculation seemed to make some sense.
After all, you, KG, only have a top laner of the Seven Kings, YGG (Round Face), while I, Seven, am also one of the Seven Kings in the world. We're both top tier top laners. Losing to someone else so easily is a bit embarrassing, so I'm probably trying to get back at him.
When Lin Feng heard the girl's speculation, he shook his head.
"No way."
"At this level, he's not that childish."
At this time, An Xin also chimed in.
"But … he's definitely not convinced."
As she spoke, the girl paused for a moment. Her gaze also lightly fell on the North American COG team's ace top laner. Her eyes flickered slightly. "Moreover, if he wants to make some adjustments and changes … for him, KG with Ah Tian is definitely the most ideal sparring partner."
"You're right."
Ceng Rui looked at the second training match, which was about to begin, and hesitated for a moment.
"But I don't think there's any suspense in the outcome."
… …
The training match wasn't a child's game. It wasn't a place for people to show off their abilities.
Similarly, since he had lost the previous match due to an objective reason of his overall strength, even if he were to start a second match, he wouldn't be able to win it so easily.
Ceng Rui's judgment wasn't wrong.
The second round of the training match began. The situation between the two teams didn't seem to have changed much from the first round.
As usual, King's blue team had the upper hand in the middle and bottom lanes and the jungle. This was due to the difference in skill between the players in the other positions on both sides. It wasn't something that could be easily made up for.
That was why Cog's team members sitting on the purple team's side had sour expressions on their faces.
They were obviously unhappy with their top laner's decision.
That's right.
They lost the first round. Logically speaking, they should've found another team to train with. Why did they have to fight against KG again?
Did he have nothing better to do and was deliberately looking for abuse?
Our support and ADC positions are having a hard time against them, but you can't do anything against YGG (Round Face).
If you have the ability, then bring up the tempo. Since you can't do it, why drag your teammates down with you?
If the bystanders were to pay attention, they would be able to see through the thoughts of the main members of Team COG. Moreover, this kind of impulsive mentality directly caused problems in the performance of the members of Team COG.
They were playing lightly.
Mistakes in positioning and maneuvers could be seen frequently.
Even compared to the previous round, the performance of Team COG's team members was clearly a lot rougher, causing many of the spectators to frown. Playing like this … didn't show any sincerity in training.
"If I were Cog's head coach, these guys would be sent to sit on the bench." Ceng Rui looked coldly at the Cog's main players on the field and gave his opinion.
Lin Feng didn't say anything.
The second training match had already been going on for close to ten minutes, and his gaze had been glued to the electronic screen on the wall the entire time. His eyes hadn't even blinked once, and it was only at this moment that his gaze shifted to the purple team's VIP seat, Seven.
North America's number one top laner, Seven, looked ordinary.
The only thing that caught people's attention was his buzz cut, which made him look energetic.
But when paired with his ordinary facial features, his entire person only revealed a simple and dull temperament.
Compared to his other teammates, Seven seemed to be the only one who was focused on the match at hand. His eyes were glued to the screen in front of him, the crisp sound of his mouse and keyboard tapping could be heard.
He didn't seem affected by his loss in the previous round.
He was also not thrown into disarray by his teammates' smelly faces and rough and careless play.
He was completely engrossed in his own battle.
Even though he was fighting alone.
He didn't give up or waver.
Even though he didn't say anything, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
…
The second round of the training match didn't seem to bring any more surprises to the people in the second training room.
It was all within expectations.
As the match neared the thirty-second minute mark, the blue team's KG team won again. The whole process was uneventful. There didn't seem to be any changes compared to the previous round.
The members of the COG Club, who hadn't been paying too much attention to the second match, and the team leaders and coaches all appeared indifferent. The team leaders and coaches frequently lowered their heads to look at the time on their phones, frowning as though they were making plans for the upcoming training.
On the other hand, the majority of the KG team members were dissatisfied with the attitude of the COG team.
They really didn't show any sincerity.
You guys took the initiative to make a request, but you gave them such a lousy performance. Isn't that a waste of KG's time?
Only the head coach of KG Club, Tony, the chief team leader, and one or two other coaches seemed to be reacting subtly. The two coaches frowned as if thinking about something, while the chief team leader walked to the side of his partner, the head coach.
"What do you think?"
The question was asked without rhyme or reason.
But as a Korean, KG's head coach, Tony, was silent for a moment. He looked deeply at Team Seven not far away, and replied in fluent Chinese:
"He's trying to make a change."
KG's head coach frowned slightly at his partner's reply:
"Yeah, but the effect … doesn't seem to be very good."
Tony nodded, then shook his head:
"As long as he has the intention, there might really be hope."
As he spoke, he looked at the COG team Team Seven's top laner again. His eyes flickered with sharpness.
"Maybe —"
"If he meets COG again in this year's finals, we need to ask Tian to be more careful."
In his tone, the Korean head coach, who always had high hopes for Tian Tian and was never stingy with his praise, revealed a rare vigilance and seriousness.
Seeing his partner's expression, KG's head coach also became serious:
"Yeah."
"I'll talk to him later."
In fact, there didn't seem to be any need for the two big shots of KG to remind him. At this moment, Tian Tian, who was walking over, had already revealed his evaluation and attitude towards the top laner in the last two rounds.
"Very good."
"He's even more stable than last year."
Tian Tian spoke with a rare solemn expression. He paused for a moment, then added solemnly:
"He might have been alright in the last round."
"But in this round … I feel like he's become more dangerous than before."
