After sending off the seniors, Lin Feng and the others were ready to leave. They headed to the buffet cafeteria for breakfast before heading to the training rooms on the seventh and eighth floors to watch the practice match between God and SSK.
Lin Feng sent a WeChat message to Morning Star as he took the elevator downstairs. He wanted to ask where the mock competition would be held, but he didn't receive a reply after a long time.
Lin Feng was not surprised.
"They're probably busy right now."
Indeed, the mock competition in the morning was quite important. The members of the God Squad were probably busy making their final preparations.
"Let's eat first."
The elevator doors opened on the second floor. Someone waved excitedly and was the first to enter the restaurant.
During breakfast, Lin Feng and the others did not see any players from the God Club. Even the players from the other two clubs in the LPL region did not appear. Only a few players from other regions were still eating. However, it was obvious that they were taking advantage of the time to eat. After they finished eating, they immediately got up and left in a hurry with their empty plates.
Lin Feng could vaguely hear some conversations over there. Keywords like "SSK", "training match", and "God" could be heard.
It was obvious that they were discussing the match that was about to start in the morning.
"That's a lot of attention."
Ceng Rui sighed.
It was no wonder. After all, it was a battle between the top seeds of the LPL and LCK divisions. It was much more important than any other training match yesterday.
Moreover, the bottom lane would be pitted against Ray's ADC, while the middle lane would be pitted against Morning Star and Han Shihao.
Both lanes were bound to be extremely exciting to watch.
"It shouldn't be a problem for Xing to play F in the middle lane today."
"Let's see if Ol 'Night can handle it."
Someone, who was eating his breakfast with a few strips of bacon in his mouth, commented in a muffled voice.
Indeed.
Based on the tactical system they helped Morning Star and Wildsnow Nightsong test last night, Morning Star would have to work together with the jungler to suppress Han Shihao's middle lane. It was hard to say if he could suppress Han Shihao, but at least God's coordination with the jungler would give Han Shihao a lot of trouble and pressure.
In comparison, Huangxue Nightsong's bottom lane was going to face a much more difficult challenge.
Originally, his skill level was almost on par with SSK's Ray. Today, he might even be targeted by Mafa, the jungler of the opposing team. The difficulty of the matchup had increased exponentially.
If they couldn't hold on and were caught once or twice, the rhythm of the bottom lane would collapse.
If the bottom lane collapsed prematurely, it would be difficult for God's tactical system to be effective.
"Isn't it a little difficult?"
Ceng Rui cautiously gave his opinion.
Although he was confident in Huangxue Nightsong's strength and naturally hoped that he would be able to withstand the pressure today, from an objective point of view, Huangxue Nightsong's difficulty in completing such an arduous task was really quite uncertain.
Based on the results of their simulation training last night, Barren Snow Nightsong's bottom lane wasn't very effective when he was targeted.
Although he managed to regain his rhythm as an ADC in the later stages of the game, the early stages were indeed quite difficult.
Back then, the jungler of the opposing team was An Xin.
No matter how good the girl's jungler skills were, her opponent today was SSK's seventh ace jungler, Mafa.
"It's quite difficult."
An Xin also gave her opinion, but then she smiled sweetly and said,
"But that's what makes it challenging, isn't it?"
"Our opponent is a team like SSK. No matter what, it won't be easy to deal with them."
Lin Feng nodded in agreement as he brushed jam on his bread. "That's right, that's right. Ol 'Ye and the others should be mentally prepared for this. Besides, it's a new battle system, so it'll take more practice to perfect it. It'll be fine …"
After chatting for a while about SSK and Team God, someone suddenly thought of something and looked at Tang Bingyao.
"Hey, Tang Tang, how was your practice with Bullet last night?"
An Xin and Ceng Rui also turned to look at her.
They were quite curious about Tang Bingyao receiving personal guidance from the legendary North American player of the previous generation.
Tang Bingyao was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and answered obediently, "Oh, it's fine.
"Oh, it was good."
"Bullet played a few solo games with me, then had me play ranked with him on the European server. He used support to help me out on the bottom lane and pointed out a lot of my mistakes."
Hearing this, An Xin nodded and praised,
"Sounds like it was very detailed guidance."
"Tang Tang, you have to cherish this opportunity. Most people don't have this kind of luck."
Indeed.
Ceng Rui sighed. "To have Bullet take the initiative to help you … That's a privilege no ADC can dream of, right?"
Lin Feng, on the other hand, was more casual.
"It's okay, I guess."
"It's because Tang Tang is so talented. It's rare for Bullet to have a disciple like you, so of course he'll do his best!"
An Xin raised an eyebrow at Lin Feng.
"Tang Tang, what about you?"
"I heard you dragged Number Four into the practice room again last night. How was it?"
This time, it was Lin Feng's turn to scratch his head.
"Oh … it was okay."
"It definitely wasn't something that could be done in one night."
His words were a bit vague.
However, the other three people at the table could understand that this was indeed the case. For a certain someone, the difficulty of what he wanted to achieve … was really not something that could be easily accomplished.
Tang Bingyao looked at Lin Feng and clenched her fists. "Good luck, Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng laughed. "Of course. Let's do it together."
… …
After a simple breakfast, Lin Feng and the others took the elevator to the second floor. Morning Star still hadn't replied. Fortunately, Li Shiyi sent them a message while they were in the elevator.
[The match is on the sixth floor. Practice room one.]
Li Shiyi and Tian Tian had shared the same room last night. Now, they were probably in the practice room together, waiting for the match to start.
Lin Feng and the others took the elevator to the sixth floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened, they were shocked by what they saw.
The long hallway was packed with people.
It was a dense mass of people.
The place was bustling with noise and excitement.
As far as the eye could see, they were basically all filming crew from various gaming and esports media outlets. Even the hot and bold blonde foreign host from Tick Esports Magazine, who had tried to seduce Lin Feng and the others yesterday, was also among them.
"What a big lineup …" Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
Ceng Rui nodded in agreement. He swept his gaze across the crowd.
"Everyone …"
"They're all here for the match between God and SSK."
The significance of today's first training match was not only important to the teams in each division, but it was also the most important piece of news for the Esports media in the past two days.
