Nian Thirteen couldn't be bothered to laugh at Shi Hang's dumbfounded expression when he heard the news. His reaction was no better than Shi Hang's when he received the news on his phone.
In fact, the truth itself wasn't funny at all.
It was just that it shook the hearts of those who heard it, giving rise to an incomparably heavy and oppressive feeling.
Lin Feng fell silent after hearing the answer to his question. He didn't need to ask any further. He didn't need to know what kind of lineup Team Minx had used in the previous season.
A full main roster or not …
It didn't matter anymore.
Because for North America's top powerhouse team, they only had one core player, and that was Autumn, the world's god of support.
As long as their support captain was on the field, it didn't matter if the rest of the players were on the main roster or the second team.
But …
The truth in front of them was unbelievable.
Team Season, which had Autumn as their representative, had actually lost to a Korean team that no one had ever heard of?
A while ago, in the North American LCS, Blade's Crown team was able to hold their own against Season in the bottom lane. This was news that shocked half the professional esports circle.
But now …
Season, with Autumn on the field, was defeated by a new Korean team?
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed as if he suddenly realized something. He looked at Nian Thirteen.
"The seeding for this year's Korean region?"
As if he had expected this question, Nian Thirteen twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Of course the first seed is still SSK."
"But … Team Fate is only the third seeded team."
Lin Feng's body trembled.
If that's the case …
Everything seemed to make sense now.
It was just that most people subconsciously ignored this information. They subconsciously thought that the strongest teams in the Korean region were SSK and Fate. They didn't need to worry too much about the other new team.
But the truth always trumped all theoretical analysis and judgment.
Fate, with the help of Moon Queen, was only the third seed in this year's finals in Korea, and was only second to SSK in the number two seed …
Coincidentally, it was the Korean rookie team that everyone had almost forgotten about.
"Minx —"
Shi Hang murmured the name of the team and looked at Nian Thirteen. He was still in disbelief, "This team … What is their background? How did you defeat Season?! "
There were indeed many new players and dark horse teams that had emerged this year. Whether it was BW and their Seven King jungler, Nate, or North America's Crown and their ADC player, Blade, who had been groomed by Bullet, there were quite a few new players and dark horse teams.
It was already sufficient to cause others to gasp in admiration and shock.
But now, they were talking about the second seeded team, Minx, that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Korea …
They had actually defeated Season in the mock competition.
This could no longer be described as breathtaking.
It was simply shocking!
Even if it was just a mock competition, even if Season didn't send out their entire main roster, how could the God of Support be defeated so easily?
If they were considered to be newcomers and dark horses, then they were simply at a heaven-defying level.
"So what's the specific situation?"
Lin Feng looked at Nian Thirteen.
Nian Thirteen shook his head. "I didn't see it with my own eyes. I just heard that Team Minx had two very strong players in their lineup. One was a top and the other a mid. They managed to defeat Season in the early game. Their tempo was so fast that they didn't even give Autumn a chance to drag the game out. They won in 32 minutes."
Against a team like Season, who were adept at managing the later stages of the game, it was extremely rare for them to be able to clinch victory in just over 30 minutes.
Lin Feng and Shi Hang couldn't help but shiver as they listened to Nian Thirteen's description.
They had all experienced the aggressive and fast attacking style of the Korean teams.
From the looks of it, the second seeded team in this year's LCK region also had the same style.
But —
"Mid and top?"
Shi Hang took a deep breath. "If they could defeat Season in the lane … that's pretty impressive."
At this time, Ceng Rui added with a serious expression, "The LCK region has always produced top mid laners. It's not surprising that Minx has a strong mid laner, but now they have a top laner … It's a little rare."
Indeed.
The LCK region was the place with the most top midlaners. Be it Han Shihao, who was the leader of the Four Emperors, Moon, who was ranked last, or Orian, who was one of the Seven Kings, there were even other top-tier players. It could be said that there were countless of them.
But in the top lane, the Korean teams didn't seem to have a particularly strong player.
Wolf was probably the only top laner in SSK. Even though he was one of the Seven Kings, no one dared to underestimate him.
Lin Feng shook his head.
"There's too little information. We won't be able to figure it out even if we blindly analyze it."
Nian Thirteen clenched his fist smugly. "That makes sense. Sigh, if there's a chance, I'll have to challenge Team Minx. A team that defeated Season … Damn, that's interesting!"
Shi Hang shot him a disdainful look.
"So, you know they are the team that defeated Season … Then, why are you going there as an Assassin? Are you going to die?"
Nian Thirteen rolled his eyes.
"Don't look down on us Assassins. As long as they don't have any overpowered jungler, I'll challenge anyone else!"
Nian Thirteen's words were filled with confidence.
As the first seed of the LMS, the overall strength of Team Assassins wasn't any weaker than any veteran top team. It wasn't as if they couldn't put up a fight against SSK or Season.
The main reason why they lost to BW was because Nian Thirteen, their core jungler, was being targeted by the coaches.
Otherwise, a normal dark horse team wouldn't have been able to take advantage of Assassins.
"But I don't think they'll be able to do it now," Nian Thirteen said regretfully. "Minx seems to have been booked for the next few matches. I think they're playing against Europe's MLG now."
At that moment, the coach of Assassins called out to Nian Thirteen.
"Thirteen, come here."
"Let's get ready for the next match."
At the same time, Shi Hang was called back by Team Leader Sun of Instant Water.
Only Lin Feng and the others were left. They looked at each other. An Xin smiled at Lin Feng.
"What's next?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
"Let's see what Minx is!"
