It might be hard to believe, but in reality, for everyone in Team God, before today, they didn't have a clear understanding of how strong their team's ace mid laner, Morning Star, had become.
Although they could vaguely feel the changes in their captain's playstyle during the three teams' recent training, they could also feel that something good was really happening from his increasingly joyful smile.
They also clearly knew that their captain was only one step away from the realm of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), which almost all professional players couldn't reach.
But even so, it was still just a concept.
Because even before this, their captain had always been recognized as the strongest mid laner below the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
But he still hadn't truly crossed that threshold, right?
So even if there was improvement, as long as he hadn't truly broken through, it shouldn't be the time for a qualitative change.
This was what most of the members of Team God thought.
They couldn't be blamed for this.
Because the concept of improvement in strength, if there wasn't enough concrete measurement or reference, it would be very vague. As for Lin Feng, who could originally be used as a measurement, although his strength had already returned to the realm of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), most of the members of Team God still didn't understand him well enough.
They only knew that Little Brother Lin Feng's strength was frightening, and that he might be able to fight against the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
But in the end, he wasn't one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) who stood at the top of the pyramid for a long time.
Even the members of Team God, who were recognized as the number one team in the LPL, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe whenever the existence of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) was mentioned, even with their pride and confidence.
This was an innate reverence for the powerhouses who stood at the top of the pyramid.
The members of Team God would also try their best to challenge the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the teams of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), but this in itself was a subconscious thought that they were willing to be inferior to others. With this thought, it meant that they thought that they were weaker than their opponents.
They never thought that one day, they would actually be able to stand on equal footing with the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the teams of the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
Naturally, they never thought that —
Their mid laner captain, Morning Star, actually had a day where he could truly match up to the Yonko.
And when this extravagant fantasy that had never appeared in their minds actually came true, this enormous happiness and shock of joy would suddenly burst out like a flood, completely filling their hearts with ecstasy.
Just like how the vice-leader of Team God was feeling.
…
At this point, the vice-leader of Team God couldn't hold back his excitement. His face was flushed red, and he almost danced with joy to express his emotions.
"You didn't see it!"
"In the BAN round, when Ah Xing took out Lamia in the mid lane, he shocked the Fate players."
"Normally, Ah Xing would use Card, Clockwerk, or Victor in tournaments. Fate's players would never expect him to bring out a Lamia! And he dared to go all out right from the start! "
"Moon didn't expect Ah Xing's current fighting style to be like this. At Level 3, Ryze was poisoned by Ah Xing's Lamia when she saw an opportunity. She immediately went up and used [Ignite] to kill him!"
"Their jungler couldn't even support him in time! The mid lane allowed Ah Xing's Lamia to establish an advantage! "
The vice-leader of Team God didn't describe in detail how Morning Star's mid laner Lamia's performance was breathtaking and stunning, but Lin Feng was already able to draw a picture of the situation without much effort.
That was normal.
Since even the members of Club God didn't realize how terrifying Morning Star's current strength was, it was needless to say that his opponent today was Team Fate, who hadn't fought Morning Star for at least half a year.
Indeed, they would be caught off guard …
As the weakest of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), Moon's strength was not much stronger than Morning Star's. In fact, it could be said that they were almost on par with each other. In terms of individual ability in the early game, Morning Star was even slightly better than Moon.
And now, Morning Star had found a turning point in his playstyle.
From the original stable and conservative style, he had finally revealed his sharpness and turned into an aggressive style.
His individual operating ability, which was already comparable to the Yonko back then, was now able to be displayed to the fullest.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't surprising that Moon, who was caught off guard, was killed in the early game. And as long as he established an advantage in the early game, with Morning Star's strength, he naturally wouldn't let go of the snowball opportunity. Then, even if Moon could react in time and make adjustments, it was destined that he wouldn't be able to stop Morning Star's rhythm and footsteps.
Therefore, just as the vice-leader of Team God described the situation in the second half of the match —
There were no surprises in the other lanes, including the jungler.
However, it was because of this serious miscalculation in the middle lane that caused Fate's rhythm to be completely messed up. Morning Star's mid laner Lamia, who had quickly developed in the early stages of the game, carried the team's rhythm like she was cutting melons and vegetables. In the end, she led his teammates to victory.
Of course, even if they lost, Team Fate still displayed their great strength as the second seed of the LCK region.
They managed to survive in a disadvantageous situation for nearly 40 minutes in the late game.
They even almost found an opportunity to turn the tables a few times.
Moon's midlaner, Ryze, even managed to deal a terrifying amount of damage in the later stages of the match, almost turning the tide and saving the situation.
Because of this, Team Fate, who had lost the match in the end, immediately requested for a rematch from Team God as soon as the mock competition was over.
"You're not convinced …"
Ceng Rui rubbed his nose, showing a look of understanding.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, looked past the crowd of spectators and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh, but there's no use in being unconvinced."
An Xin smiled and said, "Oh, but there's no use in being unconvinced."
"That's right."
"Even if Team Fate 'goes all out', they still … might not win."
As if to prove their judgment.
Eighteen minutes later.
When the match reached the 33rd minute mark, in the spectator's view on the electronic screen on the wall, the purple crystal that symbolized Team Fate exploded amidst the distorted light.
The eye-catching blue "Victory" emblem slowly rose into the air.
The entire fourth training room was in an uproar!
Almost all the players and coaches of other teams who had heard the news and came to watch the match were dumbfounded. The people of Club God cheered loudly, while the members of Club Fate, who had lost again, couldn't believe their eyes.
In the midst of such an uproar, Moon, who was sitting in the purple team's midlaner seat, slowly stood up.
His gaze was fixed on Morning Star, who was on the opposite side.
After a while.
Finally, he opened his mouth.
"Congratulations."
His tone was unprecedentedly solemn.
Morning Star also stood up. Behind him were the fanatical gazes of his teammates in the club. He smiled at his opponent in front of him.
"You're welcome."
