After the ban selection, the computer screen jumped to the loading screen. Xia Ziyou, who was sitting next to Mu Qiu, was still chattering and sharing the news he had seen online about the finals.
"Hey, did you know? Over at Manchester these past two days, all the teams from the various competition zones have arrived. They've already started training and sparring, you know?"
"Before, there was a prediction post on our online forum, ranking the strength of all the teams in the training competition. God- Hand of God was ranked first!"
"Everyone thinks that God is invincible during the training matches!"
"Moreover, KG is also ranked fourth. Even Quick Water is ranked eighth."
Mu Qiu listened helplessly.
"What's the point of this prediction?"
In the S1 season, before the finals of the major divisions were decided, the professional teams on the Chinese server did not even have their own division. They had to compete with the Taiwan server LMS and other wild card teams for the Asian division. The European and American people also predicted that the strength of the professional teams in China should be the weakest.
And the result?
They killed their way through and easily got a place in the finals.
Later on, when the finals began, whether it was them from the Chinese server or those guys from Korea, the two Asian teams were still insignificant in the eyes of the so-called "professionals" in the European and American esports circles. At that time, there were even commentators who expressed disdain and disdain in interviews — —
"The Asian teams are too weak and young."
"They should be eliminated in the first round by our brothers in Europe or North America."
"Maybe they should pray that their two Asian teams meet first, so that they can at least guarantee a place in the first round, right? Hahaha —"
However, at that time, that seemingly self-proclaimed humorous and witty laughter was directly strangled by the shocking reversal of reality and came to an abrupt end.
The two Asian teams were the least optimistic and most despised at that time.
In the end, they defeated the strong European and American teams one after another and made it to the final of the best-of-five.
The European and American media, including the European and American e-sports circles, were all silent.
Face slapping …
That would be a vicious beating.
Mu Qiu twitched the corner of his mouth.
From then on, he had no interest in these so-called prediction and analysis rankings.
In the end, he still had to rely on his own strength.
The final result was the most practical.
Although his words were directly refuted by Mu Qiu, Xia Ziyou did not seem to be discouraged, and continued to argue. "But it's not just the predicted ranking. Today in Manchester City, all the teams in the major divisions have finished a round of training matches. Indeed, God Team has the best record so far. They won every match!"
These words surprised Mu Qiu a little, and he quirked an eyebrow.
"What about SSK?"
"Oh … it seems like SSK didn't fight today. They only fought against a wild card team and won. God didn't meet them."
Mu Qiu shrugged. "That's it then."
Xia Ziyou was a little angry. "Hey, hey, aren't you praising the Korean teams too much? Can't you give our LPL teams some support? At least God won against the other two Korean LCK teams! That LCK dark horse team Minx and the veteran team Fate were both defeated by God! "
However, Mu Qiu remained indifferent to the girl's strong proof.
"Didn't they still lose to SSK?"
Xia Ziyou's face was red from anger. "Hey! Do you have to be so stubborn! "
Seeing that the missy in front of him was about to choke and go berserk, Mu Qiu wisely changed the topic.
"Alright, let's not talk about this."
"Let's go."
At that moment, the loading bar of the game finished, and the ranking match officially entered the map of Summoner's Canyon. On the blue team's side, Mu Qiu's support, Hammerstone, had already bought his equipment and was walking down the high ground. Xia Ziyou only snapped out of her daze when she heard Hammerstone's reminder. "Oh, oh …" She quickly opened the equipment shop.
…
But even as the two bought their own equipment and headed to the jungle, Miss Xia, as the ADC of the blue team, was still unwilling to let go of the topic.
"Anyway, I've read all sorts of news online that God Team performed exceptionally well today."
"Team SSK is too petty. They're hiding everything as if they're afraid that others will find out about their trump cards. Everyone else is training together, but they're the only one who only cares about themselves, refusing to accept anyone's challenge. Hmph, they don't have the presence of the strongest team in the world."
Mu Qiu only smiled when he heard that.
"But they're the strongest."
"No matter what choice they make, they have the confidence and capital to back it up."
This was similar to the situation in Season S1. When they and the two Asian teams of F reached the finals, there were still a few days before the match began. However, when they tried to challenge other European and American teams, they were almost always rejected. It was because they were simply unwilling to waste time on "Asian weaklings" like them.
Of course.
In the end, they won back all their pride.
At this moment, Xia Ziyou seemed to have the same thoughts. She suddenly became excited.
"Hey, but tomorrow morning, which is tomorrow evening in our country, God has an appointment with SSK. It's the first time SSK has accepted a challenge after a match with a wild card."
"When that happens, God, you'd better crush SSK to the ground! Let's show off our LPL's momentum! "
As she spoke, the girl rubbed her palms together, looking as if she couldn't wait to go on stage and fight for the glory of her country …
"God is going to fight SSK?"
Mu Qiu raised an eyebrow again.
Xia Ziyou's gaze swept over.
"What, are you going to criticize the strongest team in our country again?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
Mu Qiu raised his hands to express his innocence. "No, I'm just speaking the truth. God is strong, but against SSK … there's a high chance that they'll lose."
At this point, he paused for a moment, his gaze suddenly darkening.
"The current SSK … is basically invincible."
Although he had made up his mind not to have anything to do with the professional esports scene, he had more or less … seen some of SSK's performances in various regional leagues and even in the S Series over the past few seasons.
Even with his foresight and standards, he could not help but be shocked.
Speaking of which —
F's team may have been constantly changing the composition of its members over the past few years, but it was undeniable that it was growing stronger and stronger in an incomprehensible manner.
If it was the current SSK team.
Then even if the five of them met in their peak condition …
There would only be one result.
Crushing defeat.
