An Xin's previous analysis had already explained the reason why BW was researching assassins and even Nian Thirteen's jungling style.
It was indeed reasonable.
As a European rookie team that relied on junglers as their core competitiveness, there was naturally an unresolvable conflict between them and the veteran LMS teams that also relied on junglers as their tactical system.
If I can't deal with your jungling, I'll definitely lose. But if I can, you'll definitely lose.
In this aspect, BW's performance in this training match had already demonstrated the perfect effectiveness of their strategy.
But then again …
Actually, BW and Assassin weren't the only two teams that focused on jungling in this year's S6 Finals.
Mafa, the other Seven King Tier jungler, was in SSK …
In a sense, they also focused on jungling.
However, An Xin had already casually mentioned that BW was well aware of the upper limit of their strength. If it was just against Nian Thirteen, their strategy would still be effective. However, against SSK, the strongest team in the world, the disparity in strength between the two teams was too great. Even if they targeted Mafa, it was impossible for them to win.
That was why Nate's frivolous words sounded so arrogant and conceited.
But in reality, he was just trying to show off.
He made it sound like he could defeat Mafa even if they encountered him. However, if BW were to encounter SSK … they probably wouldn't even dare to utter a single word.
"They're just picking on the weak."
Lin Feng shook his head and commented.
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he turned to Shi Hang and asked, "Hey, is your team going up next?"
Shi Hang was stunned for a moment before nodding.
"Yup. We're already behind Assassin, so it's our turn to go up against BW."
As he spoke, he started to feel a little conflicted. "F * ck, this BW is disgusting … but the jungler is indeed very troublesome."
Lin Feng hummed in acknowledgment. He lowered his head as if in deep thought before looking up at Shi Hang.
"In that case …"
"Let's make some adjustments."
…
At this moment, the members of the Assassin battle team and the BW battle team seemed to have entered a stalemate.
The atmosphere became somewhat oppressive, and the smell of gunpowder began to spread.
Nate narrowed his eyes when Nian Shisan retorted in such a calm and unchanging tone.
"Oh, maybe —"
"After all, they are the world's number one team. Of course, they won't be defeated so easily."
"But it's okay. At least we defeated the first seed in the LMS region, right?"
As he spoke, BW's rookie ace jungler paused for a moment. He swept his gaze across the angry members of Assassin Squad before his gaze finally landed on Nian Thirteen. He suddenly flashed a frivolous smile.
"The number one jungler on the Taiwan server is only so-so."
"At my age … the title of 'Wild King' should be given to someone else."
As soon as he said that.
Like a stone stirring up a thousand ripples, the gunpowder barrel was completely ignited in an instant. The Assassin Battle Squad members were so agitated that they couldn't help but curse out loud.
"What are you talking about!"
"F * ck! If Wild King isn't our captain, then who else could it be? "
"Apologize! Apologize! "
Even the members of the Quick Water Club couldn't help but frown. Their impression of the BW team and this European rookie jungler became extremely bad — — — — — —
A core member of a team actually dared to provoke a senior jungler in front of so many people in a friendly friendly competition on the eve of the finals.
It was indeed very rude.
This Nate … Perhaps he was indeed at the level of a King.
But at the same time, he lacked the demeanor and bearing that a King should have.
Nate's expression did not change in the face of the Assassin Battle Squad members' criticism. He raised his eyebrows and looked down at the Assassin Battle Squad members.
"Am I wrong?"
"There's no such thing as respect for the old and love for the young in eSports. It has always been the winner."
"I won the last round. Your captain lost."
"Or are you saying that if you're not convinced … come and try again?"
His last sentence was a blatant provocation and a challenge. The members of Assassin Squad, who had long been infuriated by Nate's provocative attitude and actions, responded without hesitation and without a moment's hesitation.
"Bring it on!"
"Who's afraid of you!"
"One more round. I'll beat your jungler into a pig's head!"
However, in such an intense atmosphere, Nian Thirteen turned around and waved his hand to suppress the emotions of his team members.
"That's enough."
"What's with the ruckus?"
Nian Thirteen's prestige as the captain was still there. With just a few simple actions and a few words of reprimand, the Assassin Battle Squad members quieted down. They looked at their captain in confusion, but Nian Thirteen's expression was as calm as still water.
"No more fighting. That's it."
His words were completely out of the Assassin Battle Squad's expectations. Even a few of the main players could not help but speak up anxiously.
"Captain!?"
"How … how can you do that!?"
The next moment, Nian Thirteen's gaze swept over them coldly.
"What's wrong? My words don't matter anymore?"
The Assassin Battle Squad members met their captain's gaze and immediately shuddered. No matter how indignant they were, they no longer dared to object. They could only accept it helplessly.
Nian Thirteen used his authority as the captain to suppress his team members' objections. When he turned his head, he saw the team leaders and coaches of his club quickly pushing their way through the crowd. He smiled.
"It's fine. I know what I'm doing."
"This kind of provocation … won't work."
The team leaders and coaches were stunned when they heard that. Then, they finally relaxed and nodded.
"That's good."
"Sorry for the inconvenience."
It was clear that if Nian Thirteen had not made such a rational decision, the coaches and team leaders would have stepped forward to stop him.
But …
"Why don't we fight another round?"
Tang Bingyao could not help but feel a little puzzled when she saw this scene.
"They're … provoking us too much."
With her simple and straightforward personality, there was no reason for her to turn down a challenge. Besides, BW was so arrogant. No matter what, they should teach them a lesson and regain their dignity.
An Xin, on the other hand, smiled and shook her head.
"That's not it."
"It's not that simple."
"This is just a training match. Winning or losing doesn't mean much. The main purpose of this match is to find out what we missed and familiarize ourselves with our opponents. The Assassin Battle Squad has already achieved their goal, so there's no need for us to continue."
"Besides … if we just fight for a moment's pride, we'll fall into our opponent's trap."
Tang Bingyao was slightly stunned.
"Trap?"
This time, Lin Feng, Ceng Rui, Shi Hang, and Li Shiyi all nodded. A certain someone rubbed his nose and looked at BW from the corner of his eyes.
"These Europeans …"
"They're deliberately provoking us."
