The afternoon passed quietly like this.
Outside of the hotel, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with beautiful colors.
On the sixth and seventh floors of the hotel, the players from each division walked out of their training rooms one after another. They could not hide the exhaustion on their faces.
Not long after, the buffet restaurant on the second floor was filled with people.
Even when they were enjoying a sumptuous dinner, the players of the various clubs didn't forget to share their training experiences and insights with the companions beside them as they wolfed down their food.
Each of them … had gained a lot.
No matter if they won or lost, no matter what the results of the day were, they were able to adjust their competitive state through the practice matches. At the same time, they were able to familiarize themselves with the strength of their opponents.
The members of the three clubs in the LPL division gathered together and sat down after getting their food. They chatted animatedly with each other.
"Hey, I heard that Quick Water played Fate this afternoon?"
"How did it go?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Fate has Moon in their team after all. They're a top team with the Yonkō (Four Emperors) in their team … Their strength isn't just for show. It's good enough that they managed to do that."
"Hahaha, yeah. Our God played against our Vietnamese brothers from the wild card."
"Sigh, what's there to say? We'll definitely win. But to be fair, our brothers from the wild card are pretty good as well. They're really daring …"
"I heard that Assassin and Crown from the LMS division next door also played a training match. Nian Thirteen's jungler killed Crown's bottom lane."
"Sigh, I knew it. Crown's strategy of protecting four players and one AD core is problematic. They just need to focus on Blade —"
"That's easy for you to say … Do you think anyone can be as good as Nian Thirteen?"
"Anyway, I had a good time today. I'm getting used to it!"
"I was worried that we wouldn't be in the best condition for the finals. Now, I don't feel worried at all."
"As expected, it's better to fight against teams from other divisions."
"This year … there's hope for us in the LPL division!"
As they chatted, the players from the three clubs in the LPL division could not help but reveal looks of anticipation on their faces.
Yes.
In all fairness, after today's training matches, if one were to look at the results of the training matches, the results of the three teams in the LPL region could be said to be the best.
Quick Water's win count was slightly lower, but players like KG and God- Hand of God had practically swept all the teams in the major divisions.
Even the second and third seeded teams, Minx and Fate, who were recognized as the strongest in the Korean LCK, were defeated by their local LPL teams.
As expected, the prediction of the strength ranking of the mock competition that was given on the internet was somewhat accurate.
Based on their current performance in the mock competition, the Chinese server was ranked first in the LPL region. Team God was ranked first among all the teams with an undefeated record.
Next up was KG, who was also ahead of Europe's Legend and MLG, North America's Season, and Korea's Fate.
Below them were the veteran teams from Europe, America, and Korea.
This kind of momentum and this kind of ranking indeed made people unable to help but feel excited, and they were even more hopeful for the upcoming finals.
But …
But then again.
"SSK hasn't made a move yet."
A member of the LPL division in the crowd suddenly said.
Immediately, the lively and cheerful atmosphere suddenly quietened down.
Indeed.
Although according to the results of today's training matches, the state and results of the LPL region were extremely optimistic, when they thought about the fact that the world's strongest team had yet to make a move … they could not help but feel their hearts sink.
If.
If that team made a move.
Perhaps this seemingly optimistic situation and ranking …
Would change drastically in an instant.
…
"So you're going to fight SSK tomorrow?"
On the other side of the buffet, Shi Hang could not help but widen his eyes when he heard this. "Hey, is this for real? SSK agreed? But why is it tomorrow? "
He asked the same question that someone had asked before.
But naturally, he still could not get an answer.
However, Shi Hang didn't care. Just the news alone was enough to make him excited.
"F * ck, what time tomorrow?"
"F * ck, we have to watch this match! Finally, we can see SSK's current strength and condition. Hey, Ah Xing, Old Night, you guys better work hard tomorrow. Win or lose, we have to force SSK to show something! Everyone is waiting to see! "
These words were what almost all the teams and players were thinking.
After all, the training matches in the various regions were in full swing today. Every team, regardless of their strength, had fought against other teams and had a good understanding of each other's strengths.
Some of the new teams and wild card teams that had just participated in the finals this year were the most optimistic. After all, no matter who their opponent was, there was enough for them to learn from. But if they could see the performance of the world's strongest team, SSK, they would naturally be more than happy to spar with this world's number one team.
As for the teams that had the strength to fight for the top four or even the finals, not being able to see SSK's current strength and condition was always a burden in their hearts.
I know you're strong.
But how strong are you now?
Even against the strongest teams in the world, teams like God, KG, MLG, and Season still had the strength to go toe-to-toe with them. However, the prerequisite was that they had to understand the current state of their opponents and be prepared for it.
And with great difficulty … SSK finally accepted God- Hand of God's invitation after the childish training match against the wild card team Vietnam this morning.
Tomorrow's match would be the most attention-grabbing show in the training schedule for the next two days.
To put it bluntly …
The outcome of tomorrow's match between God and SSK could directly determine who the final champion of this year's World Finals belonged to.
On one side was the world's number one team that had won multiple championships in a row.
On the other side was the LPL's eternal number one seed, and at the same time, a strong challenger whose overall strength had improved by leaps and bounds this year.
This kind of match really made people unable to help but have wild and fanciful thoughts.
Maybe …
The outcome of the match was still unknown?
But as the captain of Team God's mid laner, Morning Star's answer seemed a little less imposing.
"It's too hard to win."
"But … I can only say that I'll try my best."
