The others weren't surprised by Morning Star's answer, which was obviously a sign of weakness. Naturally, they wouldn't criticize him too harshly.
After all, the difference in strength between the two teams was obvious.
Perhaps Team God had won every single match in the training matches, and they were even more famous than Fate, MLG, and Legend. But in all fairness … SSK was a unique existence among all the top teams.
If they were to be ranked, SSK would be in the top tier, while God, MLG, Legend, and Fate would be in the second tier.
The title of the World's Strongest had lasted for so many seasons and dominated the eSports industry for so many years. It was only natural that they had sufficient strength and foundation.
"But it's not like there's no chance at all."
A certain someone at the table grabbed a piece of golden, oily bacon and tossed it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he expressed his opinion.
"With Ah Xing's current strength, he could probably pose a threat to SSK if he takes one more step forward."
These words were indeed convincing coming from a certain someone.
One of the two midlaners who would be facing each other tomorrow was the enemy he was most familiar with and the only one he could compete with back in the day, while the other was the person he had been helping to train and give pointers to.
He was naturally the clearest about the strength of the two midlaners.
"If it's the midlaner, he might barely be able to make it to the 30-70 mark."
"But if Ah Xing can break through that barrier, he might be able to make it to the 40-60 mark."
That was Lin Feng's evaluation.
The others at the table nodded in agreement. Tian Tian even added in a serious tone, "Lin Feng is right.
"Lin Feng is right. At the end of the day, SSK's core and most unbeatable member in the World Championship is F and Mafa's midlaner duo."
"Especially F's mid laner, it's too hard for the other teams to deal with."
"You have to focus most of your jungler's energy on him, or else your midlaner won't be able to hold on. But even if your jungler comes to target him, it won't be effective. SSK can rely on F alone to pin down two of your midlaners, giving Mafa's jungler an easy opportunity to gank and invade the jungle. Or if both sides end up clashing with each other's midlaners, SSK will definitely have the upper hand."
"But if … there's someone who can withstand the pressure of F in a solo mid, then the situation will probably be different."
Li Shiyi also nodded solemnly.
"Yes."
"In the past, there were very few precedents of a team being stalled by a single person."
"But if we can stall them … our junglers will be freed up a lot, and we'll have a way to do other things."
Shi Hang slammed the table.
"Then the jungler will help the bottom lane."
"If we take advantage of Old Ye's ADC, we can first gain an advantage in the bottom lane, and then spread the advantage of the bottom lane to the top and mid lanes. This situation will really be revitalized!"
As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Wildsnow Nightsong beside him.
"Sigh, with the help of the bottom lane jungler, you should be able to gain an advantage against Ray, right?"
Wildsnow Nightsong rolled his eyes at him.
"Nonsense."
"Even if I don't have a jungler, I won't be afraid of him in a normal matchup!"
Shi Hang clapped his hands.
"That's great!"
The few of them had basically helped Team God come up with a strategy for tomorrow's match against SSK. Indeed, this was the best way to deal with SSK. In fact, the previous few matches between Team God and SSK were mainly because Morning Star and Wildsnow Nightsong were not strong enough.
The mid lane could not rely on their own strength to successfully stall Han Shihao.
The bottom lane was also in a stalemate, and it was difficult to gain an advantage.
This was why Team God seemed to have no hope of winning against SSK every time they met.
But now …
The two ace players of Team God had improved significantly over the past few days.
Perhaps they could really use this strategy against SSK, and they could really achieve something different from previous years.
However, as he listened to their heated discussion, Morning Star suddenly shook his head at this moment.
"No."
Everyone at the table could not help but be stunned. They subconsciously looked at the mid laner captain of Team God in astonishment. Morning Star then slowly opened his mouth and said, "That's right.
"This time …"
"I hope that the jungler can mainly focus on the mid lane."
His voice was as calm as ever.
However, as soon as he finished speaking …
The entire dining table fell silent for a moment.
Originally, they had just come up with a strategy that Team God could use to deal with SSK, but Morning Star's words … seemed to be directly rejecting this strategy, which was theoretically the most meticulous and stable strategy.
The others were slightly stunned at this moment, but Anxin's eyes suddenly lit up. As for Lin Feng, his eyes lit up as he looked at Morning Star.
"Interesting."
"Have you thought it through?"
Morning Star met Lin Feng's gaze and nodded slowly in a steady manner.
"Yeah."
"No matter what … I want to give it a try."
Shi Hang, Li Shiyi, Ceng Rui, Tian Tian, and the others also reacted one after another, their faces filled with shock.
"Targeting the mid lane?"
Yes.
In truth, everyone at the table did not think that Morning Star's idea and arrangement was because he was showing weakness and retreating. Asking the jungler to target the mid lane was not because he lacked confidence and thought that he could not compete with the world's number one mid laner in the mid lane.
Then, there was naturally only one explanation left.
What he wanted was not as simple as stalling Han Shihao in the mid lane.
Instead, he wanted to rely on the teamwork of himself and his jungler to directly and brazenly crush the leader of the Four Kings in the mid lane!
This was an almost unprecedented bold idea!
In the entire world of professional esports, almost no team or professional mid laner would dare to have such an arrogant idea. The jungler only wanted to stay in the mid lane to relieve the pressure on his mid laner. But at this moment, Morning Star really wanted to directly target Han Shihao in the early game!
"Has there been a precedent of this before?"
After recovering from the shock, Ceng Rui asked cautiously.
Based on the common knowledge and understanding of the public, SSK's World's Number One Mid Laner had never once suffered a true collapse in the mid lane, no matter how intense the opponent's gank was, or even if it was a small collapse.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many professional commentators and players in the esports circle saying, "The guy who stands on the throne of the Four Kings is almost invincible."
Hearing Ceng Rui's question, Tian Tian, Shi Hang, and Li Shiyi looked at each other. In the end, someone rubbed his nose.
"Oh."
"We did it in S1, during the final set of best-of-five in the finals."
Ceng Rui subconsciously asked, "And the result?"
Lin Feng shrugged.
"It was okay. That guy had a hard time in the early game anyway, and we won that game anyway."
