After the training match against Hand of God, SSK Team seemed to have returned to their original mysterious and aloof state. They rejected all kinds of invitations, including interviews from the various esports media in the hallway, and went straight to the elevator to go back to their rooms to either have a meeting or rest.
Of course, after their performance in the previous match, SSK had more than enough capital and confidence to do so.
Even a team like Hand of God, who had carefully designed a set of tactics, was defeated in less than thirty minutes.
Who else was qualified to be SSK's opponent?
I want to challenge them …
Let's try to defeat Hand of God first.
In the elevator, Ray was still in high spirits, exchanging and discussing with his teammates around him.
"Hey, seriously, you may not have noticed, but Wildsnow Nightsong of Hand of God is playing quite well in the early stages. He's much better than last year."
"Of course, I'm suppressing him in the middle stages. I'm still stronger."
"I heard that there's also a rookie from North America. What's his name? BDE?"
"That guy seems to be suppressing the bottom lane of Sean's team. Who do you think is stronger, Wildsnow Nightsong or that guy?"
"But if he's up against me and Cube, there's no way he'll win!"
Cube couldn't stand the chatterbox of his teammates. He glanced at them emotionlessly.
"So?"
"The finals haven't even started yet, and you're already planning to claim the title of the world's number one ADC?"
His tone was obviously full of unfriendliness.
However, he still underestimated the shamelessness of his ADC teammate. Upon hearing this, Ray nodded his head and admitted it without batting an eyelid.
"Yeah!"
"Logically speaking, other than Wildsnow Nightsong and Bde, the bottom lane composition or ADC of other teams can only be ranked in the second tier. Even Autun's ADC isn't that good."
Cube's eyelids twitched. He then turned to look at his other two companions in the elevator and made an expression that said, "Take care of this idiot. I don't know how arrogant he is going to be if he doesn't take care of himself."
But he did not expect afa to laugh.
"Looks like your confidence has been boosted after the match with D," Jiang Chen said.
"This is a good thing."
"Our SSK Team is the strongest team in the world, and Shihao is the strongest mid laner in the world. Therefore, every member of our team should have the confidence and belief to be the strongest in the world."
"However —"
Afa paused, looked at Ray, and changed the topic.
"It's good to have confidence, but you can't look down on your opponent too much."
"What we've seen might not be everything. Perhaps there are still other teams or players that possess enough strength for us to be on guard against. If we underestimate others too much … even we will suffer."
"Just like the third seeded team in the LL division, Quick Water. You guys probably don't know much about them, right?"
Cube adjusted his glasses.
"Is it that mid player called 'Addisi'?"
"It seems like an old pro player from Season S2 has returned. His individual skill is indeed very strong."
Afa nodded, then shook his head
"It's not just him."
"You guys may have heard a little about this Addisi, but how much do you know about their support 'Shadow Puppet', even if it's Cube?"
Cube was startled. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. Indeed, he only had a slight impression of the name mentioned by AFA at this moment, but he really had no idea of the specific strength level and style of play of the opponent.
Not to mention that Ray was at a loss.
"Shadow Puppet?"
"What kind of ID is that … What does it mean, who is it? A support player? Is he strong? "
The series of questions only made the core member of SSK, who was second only to Han Shihao, smile.
"I've collected all the recordings. You'll understand what I mean when you go back and look at it yourself."
"Although I have absolute confidence in our team's ability to win the championship, I have to admit that our opponents are also improving and slowly becoming a threat to us. Being too careless is not a good thing for us."
"Also —"
Afa paused again. This time, his eyes swept across the faces of his three teammates.
"Don't forget one more thing."
"In this year's LL division, it's not just D, Speed Water, and KG teams."
"For the first time ever, our LCK team has Daozai and Senpai leading the team at the same time … Don't tell me you guys have forgotten that the LL division also has those seniors?"
His voice wasn't loud.
But in this narrow elevator, it suddenly rendered a soul-stirring atmosphere.
The other three main players of SSK were shocked.
Even Olf, who had been silent all this time, had a solemn expression on his face.
But afa was still talking.
"To be able to make 'those seniors' come out personally … there's no need to think too much. This year's LL division definitely … won't be as simple as we think."
…
At this time, Han Shihao and Pu Canlie had already arrived at the hotel room upstairs.
It was rare for the two of them to take the initiative to be in the same room.
The main reason was naturally because of what the young chief supervisor of SSK had just said. It was the first time that the truth of the past had been exposed so straightforwardly, and even Han Shihao, who was usually indifferent, could not help but be shaken.
However, before further confirmation, it was difficult for the two of them to talk more about this matter with just the blurry memories and a few fragments of information from back then.
It was also the first time Han Shihao took the initiative to make a request to Pu Canlie. Once there was more development in this matter, he wanted to be the first to know.
Pu Canlie agreed without hesitation.
It was rare for them to reach a consensus on such a matter, and the atmosphere between the two became a lot more relaxed.
They casually talked about other topics.
When they talked about the training schedule at the Hilton Hotel and the two seniors from the previous generation, Pu Canlie seemed to casually ask Han Shihao for his opinion. The latter only shook his head, indicating that he never cared about these things.
"Compared to you, I'm still very interested in this matter."
Pu Canlie once again showed his signature sunny smile, but very quickly, his smile disappeared.
"Although I have a lot of respect for the two seniors …
"But this time …
"I don't really agree with the way the Dao Zai did it."
Han Shihao did not respond. He just slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Pu Canlie, waiting for him to continue.
The young chief supervisor of SSK breathed a sigh of relief.
"Because …"
"It's too rushed."
"If they act too rashly, it's easy to expose flaws."
Speaking of this, Pu Canlie shrugged and once again showed a seemingly gentle and harmless smile.
"Of course, this is just a little bit of my unfounded speculation. It doesn't count. I'm just casually saying it to you. But I think this time, maybe the Dao Zai and the others … will suffer a big loss."
