The atmosphere on the balcony quieted down again. Only the sound of the breeze rustling through the treetops could be heard.
Few people could make the two on the balcony fall into such silence. For the two of them, the existence of the mysterious person behind the scenes was something they could not confirm.
It sounded even more absurd and unbelievable.
But on second thought …
However, it also revealed a faint oppressive aura that made people faintly feel heavy.
Flicking the cigarette ash, No. 3 looked up at Bullet again and narrowed his eyes. "So, did you find anything?"
Since you agree with Number One's judgment and believe that there is indeed someone hidden behind the scenes in SSK Team, did you see what you wanted to see when you came here personally?
But the answer was unsurprisingly disappointing.
Bullet was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"I found SSK's training room, but I ran into M, who politely stopped me."
No. 3 was slightly surprised.
"You stopped me?"
Bullet nodded, the corners of his mouth twitching. "Very polite."
Indeed.
He was the only man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Lee Do-jae in the Korean e-sports circle. He was also one of the few old friends in the previous generation who could make him admire and respect 003. Coincidentally, 003 discovered his arrival and welcomed him with his usual gentle and courteous style … or rather, stopped him.
"Why are you here?"
"Just looking around."
"Interested in SSK?"
"If I remember correctly, SSK has nothing to do with you."
"Yes, it has nothing to do with me." At that time, his old friend from Korea smiled warmly. His glasses were slightly reflective, making it difficult to see the deep gaze in his eyes. "But there are some things that are not convenient for outsiders to see."
At that time, Bullet sneered, "Is it an object or a person?"
M adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose. His smile was still gentle, nothing unusual could be seen.
"Everything is fine."
"But the host is not willing. It is more polite for the guest to follow the host's wishes, right?"
Hearing this, No. 3 frowned.
"So … this is a tacit agreement."
Perhaps he had some doubts about No. 1's speculation before, but after hearing Bullet's experience, he had to admit that there seemed to be a hidden person behind SSK. "And then, I was stopped?"
"What else should I do? Force my way in?" Bullet asked faintly. He then paused for a moment and sneered, "However, their attitude … is enough to explain a lot of things, isn't it?"
Yes.
Indeed.
Number Three took a deep breath.
"He's someone who can make Li Daozai and his mother personally come out and ignore their team's affiliation to join hands to protect him …"
"That Han brat might not even receive such treatment."
"Since when did such a person appear in the Korean esports scene?"
Bullet shook his head. "But he's willing to hide behind the scenes for so many years. Just this temperament alone … is scary enough. Compared to him, that damn crow should be so ashamed that it would hide in a hole." He sneered at the end, not forgetting to mock his old rival.
Number Three nodded, but his gaze turned slightly cold.
"Indeed."
"However, I can't hide it forever."
"Since we've already been discovered, there will be a day when we'll be discovered —"
"When that time comes, I'd like to see …"
"He single-handedly brought SSK to where they are today, and even has Li Daozai and his mother do their best to protect him. Who the hell is he!"
…
Coincidentally, at that moment, Lin Feng and the two seniors on the balcony were thinking the same thing.
He returned to the corridor on the sixth floor and bid farewell to Spoon and Phoenix. As he watched the two European kings leave, he felt a little apologetic.
Although he revealed such shocking news to the two of them, he still hid something.
Han Shihao's terrifying hand speed of ten minutes.
Although it was shocking, it was still acceptable. After all, he was the world's number one mid laner, the leader of the Yonkō. This kind of news only added another stroke to his already glorious resume.
But this was still not the scariest thing about SSK.
Perhaps almost everyone in the esports scene would think that the strongest and most unsolvable core of SSK was the world's number one mid laner. Or to take a step back, they had the god-tier mid laner duo of Han Shihao and Mafa.
But indeed, very few people would think about another problem —
And that was the core of this team off the field.
If Han Shihao was the soul of SSK on the field, then who was the leader off the field?
Perhaps some people had thought about it before, but they only thought of it as a simple "coach" or "leader" and did not think too deeply about it.
It was the same for Lin Feng.
Until that night when he heard Senior No. 1's analysis and judgment.
They now knew that behind the team that was recognized as the strongest team in the world … there might be an equally unfathomable leader, perhaps even more important than Han Shihao to SSK Club.
The corridor was still noisy.
The staff members of various esports media were still noisily discussing or trying to find all kinds of interview opportunities to dig up news.
At the end of the corridor, Lin Feng stood in front of the security door with his eyes downcast.
Even if he could not believe or accept it from a subjective point of view, perhaps …
The person who stood behind SSK for a whole six years.
He was the true key to this team's terrifying strength.
…
Previously, there was a saying for the players in the LPL region and the Chinese server, League of Legends.
If the Chinese LPL wanted to win the S Series World Championship, the biggest obstacle and the most terrifying opponent was the Korean LCK.
It was as if the Korean teams were the natural nemesis of the LPL.
When it came to the finals, no matter how valiant the LPL team was, or how they had defeated all kinds of strong European and American teams in the group stage, as long as they met a Korean team … they would be inexplicably weaker first, and then they would even lose the game in confusion.
Among all this, SSK was without a doubt the representative leader.
That was why the Chinese server had such an idea. If there was an S League and SSK was eliminated in the Regional League and missed out on the World Finals, their LPL division would have a higher chance of winning the championship.
Because even though the other Korean teams were strong, they were not invincible.
The Chinese server had teams like God, KG, and even Dust- Dust, who had defeated Korean teams like Fate and Warrior more than once.
Only SSK was left.
Every time they met an LPL team in the finals, they had never tasted defeat.
Forget about the best-of-three and best-of-five matches, even in the best-of-one matches, they had only won against SSK once in the LPL region over the past few years.
This team was their biggest obstacle to winning the championship!
But then again … even though they had never won against SSK in the LPL, at least within the Korean region, SSK had lost many times, hadn't they?
