Lin Feng, Ceng Rui, and Li Shiyi were a little embarrassed by the little accident that happened in the corridor. Fortunately, An Xin was there to block the bold and unrestrained beautiful emcee from Tick Esports Magazine. Otherwise, the other esports media reporters and emcees who were obviously eyeing them would swarm over in the next second if the emcee's honey trap worked so easily …
But it was also a testament to the esports media's passion and thirst for interviews.
After all, they couldn't just enter the training room to do interviews without some sort of connection.
Even when Lin Feng and the others knocked on the door of the fourth training room, the door was opened from the inside. It was the vice-captain of God. He frowned and was about to speak.
"We're in the middle of a match. We can't accept any interviews for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the vice-leader of God recognized Lin Feng and the others. His face immediately lit up with joy.
"Hey, Lin Feng, you're here!"
"Come in, come in!"
The vice-captain didn't forget to look around the hallway as he greeted Lin Feng and the others. It was clear that many media reporters and hosts had tried to sneak in, but they were all blocked off by him.
Lin Feng and the others slipped into the room through the half-opened door. Looking inside, they saw that the fourth training room was packed with people. The room was about sixty square meters, but it was packed to the brim.
If there were only players from the two clubs, there wouldn't be so many people.
Lin Feng quickly spotted the players and coaches of Speed Water, KG, and Assassin mixed in with the crowd. He couldn't tell if they were from Europe or North America.
"They're all here to watch the match?"
Lin Feng was speechless.
"Wow, there's a lot of people here."
Logically speaking, the various Club teams should be busy training and fighting. Even the second team members or substitutes who didn't go on stage should be staying in their respective Club teams' training rooms. There shouldn't be so many people running over to the second training room.
The vice-captain of God, who had just led Lin Feng and the others in, smiled.
"It's because we're playing Fate. The other clubs all sent people over to watch the match as soon as they heard about it.
There's a lot to see in our group after all. "
There was an unconcealable pride in his tone.
Li Shiyi, on the other hand, was surprised. "God and Fate aren't done yet?"
Logically speaking, they had watched KG and Cog's two matches in the second training room. Almost an hour had passed, and God and Fate should have finished their matches by now. Therefore, when they rushed over, they were already regretting that they had missed an exciting match.
The deputy leader laughed.
"Yes, the fight is over."
"But they did fight one round, and the Fate Club's coach and players refused to let it go. So they started the second round, and it's only just started ~"
His tone was relaxed and casual.
On the other hand, Ceng Rui seemed to have caught on to something from God's words.
"Then the result of the first round was …"
God's vice-leader was glowing.
"We won!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng and the others couldn't help but be slightly moved.
"He won?"
…
As the strongest team in the LPL, Hand of God was also the first seed in this year's LPL. Their strength had always been recognized by the world.
In fact, most of the players on the Chinese server had predicted Team God to be either first or second place in this mock competition.
Moreover, this year was different from the past. Not only had the overall strength of the God Squad increased significantly after the preparation training, but the two core ace players, Morning Star and Snowy Nightsong, were also on the verge of breaking through to a higher realm.
Under such circumstances, it wouldn't be surprising if they could only beat one or two opponents in a mock competition.
Even so, when Lin Feng and the others heard the news from the vice-captain of team God, they were still slightly shocked even though they were prepared for it.
After all —
Their opponent was Team Fate.
As the second seed in the LCK, they weren't much weaker than the first seed, SSK. More importantly, they had Moon Empress, who was ranked fourth in the Yonko.
An opponent like this was even stronger than the first seed, Assassin, that Team God had faced in the LMS region.
Let's not talk about sparring. At the very least, God Squad and Fate Squad had fought against each other more than once or twice in previous international tournaments. Although God Squad had won some of their matches, most of the time, they had lost.
And now —
The first training match between the two squads was won by God.
Lin Feng and the others couldn't help but feel excited after the initial shock.
"Not bad!"
"That's a great win!"
"Ah Xing and Nightsong seem to be in great form today!"
God's vice-leader was naturally proud to receive such sincere praise from Lin Feng and the others. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "Of course, of course …"
The vice-leader then gave Lin Feng and the others a brief summary of the previous match between Team God and Team Fate.
Actually …
It wasn't that easy to win.
Lin Feng and the others nodded in understanding. It was no wonder that they had arrived an hour later, and the second round had only just begun. Moreover, before the last group battle, the situation between the blue and purple teams had always been in a deadlock. It was hard to tell who would win or lose.
In the early stages of the match, the two teams were evenly matched.
Team Fate's top jungler was much stronger than Team God in terms of individual skill. Moreover, during the first match, Team Fate's jungler frequently took care of the top lane, cooperating with their own top laner, Kennan, to create an advantage and obtain two kills.
On the bottom lane, Barren Snow Nightsong and his support teammates should have been stronger than their opponents, but Fate's bottom lane composition was also very experienced. The purple team's ADC, Mother Wheel, had Wind Girl to protect her and stabilize her DPS. She also had a crowd-control shield that could take care of many threats.
As a result, Team God didn't have an advantage in the early stages of the match.
This was similar to how Team Fate and Team God used to play against each other in the past.
The reason why Team Fate was able to win more than they lost against Team God in the past was because of this rhythm. Team Fate had an advantage in the top lane and a stable bottom lane. Then, Moon in the middle lane would suppress Morning Star's mid lane. The combination of the top lane and top lane gradually turned into a combination of the top and middle lane. Little by little, they snowballed Team God into a corner.
But this time.
Nothing else seemed to have changed.
The only thing Team Fate didn't expect was —
The middle lane.
Morning Star's middle lane.
