Speaking of which, it was strange.
Even though SSK was the undisputed strongest team in the world right now, and they were able to easily defeat the top teams in the major divisions and in the S League, they still suffered many defeats in their own regional competitions.
They lost to Fate.
They lost to Warrior.
They even lost to some of the other mid-tier teams in the LCK.
It was a mystery to outsiders, but if they couldn't figure it out, they could only conclude it as some kind of magical law and treat it as some kind of metaphysics.
The majority of the Chinese players did not think too much about it, but seeing how SSK often seemed to suffer losses in the LCK internal competition, they began to look forward to the day when SSK would be eliminated from the LCK internal competition and fail to enter the finals. That way, the teams in the LPL region would have a chance to shine and win the championship …
At that time, many online forums and forums had banners saying, "Let the Koreans deal with the Koreans themselves."
It sounded a little embarrassing.
But it also reflected the mentality of many Chinese players at that time.
After all, they yearned for the championship trophy too much, and they couldn't do anything about SSK.
Yet, such hopes and dreams never came true. Even when SSK was in the most difficult situation in the LCK, they still managed to qualify for the S-League as the third seed in the division.
Then, when they entered the World Arena, they instantly recovered.
It was as if they had the help of God to return to the top.
They continued to sweep through the LCK like a hot knife through butter.
Everyone felt like they were on the verge of collapsing, and there were also quite a few people who felt extremely regretful. Just a little bit more … SSK almost didn't qualify for the next round, so how did they manage to become the third seed in the end?
But now …
Lin Feng's head drooped, but his eyes flickered with uncertainty.
It wasn't a close call at all.
There was no such thing as "almost".
If one didn't look at the process and only looked at the results, then they would only see that SSK had never missed a single World Championship in the past few years.
They were always stable.
They were so stable that it made people's hearts palpitate.
Senior No. 1 had also given him a rather concise explanation as to why they were often defeated by other Korean teams due to their poor performance in the civil war.
"Go and study SSK's performance in the LCK Regional League and S League as well as their overall tactics. You'll notice that they're two completely different styles."
"Although the former is also strong, there are many flaws and oversights that can be exploited."
"But the latter … is truly perfect and self-consistent. It's invulnerable."
"No matter how good a team is, it's impossible to switch back and forth between these two states at will."
So there was only one answer left.
This was because the core members of the team were basically the same.
Then the changes …
They could only be the Enforcers outside the arena.
"It's just a regional league in the LCK region … There's no need for the person behind SSK to do it himself."
Back then, Senior No. 1 sighed.
Lin Feng understood now.
Perhaps in the regional leagues, SSK Club had sent out their coaches and leaders who were responsible for formulating strategies and giving orders.
Only in a world-class competition like the S Series —
It was the person behind the scenes who personally manipulated the game.
Lin Feng raised his head, his eyes sweeping across the crowded corridors and the doors of the training rooms. His gaze became a little erratic, as if he could see through the walls and doors of the training rooms. He wanted to see where SSK Club was, and even through the layers of curtains, he wanted to see the mysterious figure behind the curtain.
So …
From this moment onwards …
Perhaps the person behind the scenes had quietly appeared once again.
Perhaps the other party was watching everything from high above.
Calmly and emotionlessly …
Looking down on everyone.
…
Lin Feng's thoughts didn't continue for long before his phone rang and interrupted him.
It was a message from Anxin. They had just returned to the 7th floor to watch Team God's match. It was already noon, and most of the morning practice matches were over. Everyone was preparing to head downstairs for lunch at the buffet cafeteria.
It didn't feel good to be watched by some mysterious person behind the scenes, but the feeling of going hungry wasn't any better.
Some things couldn't be resolved right now, so he decided to put them aside for now.
Lin Feng put down his phone after replying to An Xin. He glanced at the hallway again. The reporters and cameramen from the various media outlets were packing up their equipment and preparing to leave.
Speaking of which, it wasn't easy for these media workers. They had been running back and forth between the sixth and seventh floors for the entire morning, anxiously guarding the training rooms just to find out a bit of news and information. They were chased around like flies by the staff of the various clubs and teams, and they had to shamelessly move forward, not letting go of any opportunity.
Lin Feng scratched his head.
He wondered how Xue Xue was doing this morning.
He picked up his phone again and headed for the elevator. At the same time, he called Su Xue.
Du! Du! Du!
The phone rang for a while before it was picked up. Su Xue's frantic voice came through the receiver.
"Hello? What is it? "
"Hey, I'm busy!"
Su Xue's enthusiasm for work was off the charts. Lin Feng hurriedly replied, "Oh, it's me. Are you busy? It's almost lunchtime! "
On the other end of the line, Su Xue seemed to be busy. She spoke quickly.
"Ah, lunchtime?
It's already noon. Have you, Steamed Bun, Tang Tang, and the others eaten yet? You know where the buffet restaurant is, right? If you're hungry, then hurry over. I still have one more interview to do. I'll go look for you guys when I'm done. Alright, that's all for now. I'll talk to you guys later! "
With that, he quickly hung up the phone.
Lin Feng was left in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he shook his head. Sure enough, this was Xue Xue's style. Once she got into the zone, she couldn't care less about anything else.
However, it seemed like Xue Xue's work was going pretty smoothly. Lin Feng was happy for her.
Taking the elevator down to the buffet restaurant floor, Lin Feng reported his room number to the hotel staff at the entrance and then entered the restaurant. Looking around, Lin Feng could already see that the lobby was packed with people. Quite a few familiar looking members of various teams and clubs were holding plates of food, picking out dishes that suited their tastes.
Lin Feng looked around and quickly spotted An Xin, Tang Bingyao, Ceng Rui, and Li Shiyi at a nearby table. His eyes lit up and he walked over.
