Lin Feng wasn't the only one who didn't take Nian Thirteen's message to heart. Ceng Rui, Li Shiyi, and Tang Bingyao didn't think much of it either. They only thought that Nian Thirteen was exaggerating.
After all, on the one hand, every team had their own scheduled matches in the afternoon. It was impossible for them to all come here just to watch Minx versus God. On the other hand, it was still early, and the players were either on lunch break or in a meeting …
What Nian Thirteen didn't expect was that he wasn't exaggerating when he saw what was going on in Training Room One.
It really was —
A huge scene!
Compared to the other training rooms next door or downstairs, Training Room One was much more spacious. It was about a third larger, but it was still packed with people.
As far as the eye could see …
There were so many heads that it was a little dizzy. A rough estimate would put at least seventy to eighty people.
At a glance, Lin Feng saw players from the European region wearing the team uniforms of Legend and MLG. Phoenix and Spoon, the two old spellcasters, were also among them. They seemed to be whispering to each other and did not notice Lin Feng and the others walking through the door.
There was also Team BW.
Their jungler, Nate, was also standing in the corner with his arms crossed, looking impatient.
There was also a large group of people gathered together, all of whom were familiar faces. It was the players of Quick Water and KG from the LPL division, following their coach. They seemed to be cheering for their brother team, God- Hand of God.
Lin Feng saw Shi Hang and Tian Tian. The latter also turned around and saw Lin Feng and the others. His eyes lit up and he quickly walked over.
"Lin Feng!"
Tian Tian greeted them warmly. "You guys are here too?"
Lin Feng nodded and looked at Tian Tian. "Your KG was in a meeting at noon, right? How did he have time to come and watch?"
Tian Tian nodded honestly.
"Yeah, the previous meeting was to analyze and discuss Team Minx. Their top laner is very strong. If they meet in the finals, they will be a huge threat to our KG."
"Our coach and team leader have already made an appointment with the Minx players for the upcoming mock match. We don't know their attitude yet, but it's good that God and Minx have a match first. We can observe the opponent's playstyle and strength."
Beside him, Li Shiyi swept his gaze over the training room.
"A team with such thoughts …"
"Looks like there are quite a few of them."
Indeed.
It wasn't just the teams from the LPL region. Other than the core members of the three European teams that Lin Feng had seen earlier, there were also many people from the North American region, Taiwan's LMS region, and Korea's LCK region. They were all prepared to watch this training match.
Tian Tian listened and nodded.
"Yes."
"It seems that basically all of the teams in the major competition zones … have sent people over after hearing about it."
"I think I saw Moon and Autumn just now."
When he said that, Lin Feng and the others were astonished.
It seemed that this competition really had a lot of weight. Putting everything else aside, according to what Tian Tian said, there were already three Yonkō (Four Emperors) present — it could be seen how much these top-notch powerhouses cared about this competition.
"This … is a little stressful."
Ceng Rui subconsciously murmured. He felt that his lips were a little dry. Although he was not the one going on stage and was only an audience member, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression and suffocation in the face of such a big scene.
If it was the players who were going to play … it would be a test of their mental strength and ability to withstand pressure.
Lin Feng glanced in the direction of Team God. He didn't see Morning Star or Wildsnow Nightsong. They were probably making their final preparations before the match, or perhaps they were receiving a lecture from their coach.
"Ah Xing and Old Night should be fine."
They were all veterans who had been in the arena for a long time.
No matter how strong their opponents were, they were just a new team.
If he, as a veteran, was the first to panic in the face of such a situation, then he would be underestimating Team God's foundation.
"Sigh, everyone is guessing who will win and who will lose —"
At some point in time, Shi Hang popped his head out from the side and interjected with great interest.
"Yes, the results … there are many opinions."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? What's the support rate for both sides? "
On one side was the veteran first seeded team in the LPL, and on the other side was the super overpowered dark horse that defeated Season and MLG in a row.
It was indeed difficult to compare them.
Shi Hang rubbed his chin.
"The support rate … is about fifty-fifty."
"Some teams didn't see Minx's performance in the morning, so they are definitely more on Team God's side. After all, Morning Star is a golden signboard in the international esports circle. Old Night's ADC is also top-notch. His strength is obvious to all."
"But —"
As he spoke, Shi Hang changed the topic.
"Some people who watched Minx's two matches in the morning will probably have a different opinion."
"Forget about Season. After all, he didn't have his full lineup. However, MLG's Spoon isn't any weaker than Ah Xing in most people's eyes. Fly is able to suppress Spoon in a one-on-one match. That gives people the feeling that Ah Xing might not be able to get the upper hand."
The others nodded.
Indeed, the analysis and judgment of others was understandable. Before this year, the strength of the seven king-level mid laners was only a hair's breadth apart. Perhaps Orian from the Korean Warrior team was slightly weaker, but when it came to Morning Star and Spoon, the outside world often thought that they were on par.
Especially this year's MLG team was in excellent form, suppressing L Legend in the European division to become the first seeded team. This made people have a new assessment of the strength of the MLG ace mid laner captain, Spoon.
A European Spellcaster at his peak was still suppressed by Fly from Team Minx.
Logically speaking, as the number one mid laner in the LPL, Morning Star might not be that strong.
But compared to Lin Feng and the others present at this moment, most people had overlooked or missed some key information.
That was Morning Star in this year's finals. Compared to previous years …
He could not be mentioned in the same breath.
"It's hard to say who will win."
Lin Feng touched his nose and gave his own opinion.
"But if we're only talking about the mid lane, even if Fly from Minx is as strong as the sky, he won't be able to win against Ah Xing."
Everyone subconsciously nodded in agreement.
This was the most convincing statement from a certain someone. Previously, whether it was in coordination or solo matches, there was no one else but a certain someone who understood Morning Star's current strength and condition the best.
It was at this moment.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.
"Sorry, I seem to have overheard you talking about Team Minx —"
"If it's convenient …"
"Allow me to participate in the conversation?"
