"Did Senior One and the others really never lose a match in the previous generation?"
Ceng Rui took the elevator up to another training room. While waiting to watch the match between Assassin and Fate, Ceng Rui couldn't help but ask Lin Feng and An Xin a question out of curiosity.
Tang Bingyao's curiosity was piqued as well.
Indeed.
Too much time had passed since the events of the previous generation took place, so many things were hard to verify. All that was left were legends that didn't seem to be real.
Even though Ceng Rui and Tang Bingyao already knew the legendary status of these seniors in the previous generation of professional esports, and they more or less knew some of the stories of these seniors in the past, they all sounded too illusory and unreal.
Invincible for an entire generation?
Absolute domination for an entire generation?
In this new generation, even the publicly acknowledged strongest team in the world, SSK, wasn't invincible forever, nor were they invincible.
Compared to now, the number of Legendary powerhouses that existed in that era was far more numerous and stronger.
To be honest, in the current new generation, probably only the Yonkō (Four Emperors) would be able to stand on the stage in the previous generation, and the number of top powerhouses of this level in the past was at least double or more than double.
Under those circumstances, it would have been several times harder to be invincible than it was now.
Lin Feng rubbed his nose.
"Oh."
"More or less."
This was an affirmative answer.
Ceng Rui couldn't help but click his tongue. "But … how did you do it?"
Based on the analysis of strength on paper, even though these seniors could stand at the top of the pyramid, their opponents in the past, whether it was Lee Do-jae and M from Korea, Crow and J from Europe, or Bullet from North America, were definitely not inferior to them in the slightest. They were all legendary existences that had been crowned as gods in the previous generation.
They weren't ordinary characters that could be easily defeated.
Not to mention …
You've never lost a match?
An Xin chimed in with a smile, "That's true. In terms of average strength or individual strength, Senior No.3, Senior No.4, Senior No.2, or even Sister Xiao Wu are all equally matched with their opponents — J versus Senior No.3, Ghost versus Senior No.4, or Bullet versus Sister Xiao Wu. It's hard to tell who's the better of them."
"But —"
The young lady paused for a moment, then smiled and finished her sentence.
"The crux of the matter.
"It's in Senior Number One's possession."
Lin Feng nodded.
"Yeah."
"The other seniors might also have formidable opponents of similar strength."
"But if Senior One is here …"
"He's unbeatable."
Indeed.
There was no such thing as an invincible player in the professional scene. No matter how strong you were, there would always be someone who could counter you or was on par with you.
For example, Nian Thirteen, the number one jungler on the server, had Mafa, the world's top jungler with a completely different playstyle.
Another example would be Barren Snow Nightsong's ADC. His individual offensive prowess was unparalleled in the professional esports scene. However, SSK's Ray was superior to him in team battles. Even the North American rookie, Blade, was slowly catching up to him.
Or Tian Tian's top laner, who was able to beat Seven, the number one player in North America. But against SSK's Wolf, it was hard for him to gain an advantage.
As for the world's top mid laner, the competition between the Seven Kings and the Yonkō (Four Emperors) was fierce.
Even Han Shihao, the world's number one mid laner —
Before the leader of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) took the final step, he could never claim to be invincible.
The situation in the previous generation was similar.
But there was only one.
He was a truly unique existence.
Back in the day, South Korea had Lee Dao-jae, and Europe had Crow, whose nickname was Shadow Crow. Both of them were god-like existences with unfathomable strength.
However, even these two were unable to pose a real threat to Number One.
"Whether it's individual skill, planning, coordination, or commanding."
An Xin continued.
"Even Senior Number One was a level ahead of everyone else back then."
"If we were to divide the ranks, all the other so-called 'god-like' players could only rank in the second tier."
"In the first echelon, Senior Number One is the only one who has a place in it."
Lin Feng rubbed his chin.
"Speaking of which —"
"Back then, Sister Xiao Wu and Senior No.3 seemed to have mentioned that Senior Lee Dao-Jae of Korea could barely catch up to Senior No.1 in terms of individual operating ability. In fact, the European Crow should be about the same, but Senior No.3 said that 'the Crow is too fond of scheming, and is actually neglecting the essentials to pursue trifles', which is why Senior No.1's evaluation of Senior Lee Dao-Jae is even lower."
An Xin nodded with a faint smile.
"Most people may only remember Senior Number One's amazing performance in the arena, but they feel that they can't compete with him head-on, so they try to win in other ways."
"But in fact, they all overlooked one thing —"
"Senior Number One's scheming is also number one."
…
"I also have a motion here."
In the conference room, Number One stood up calmly with another stack of documents in his hand. He then casually tossed the stack of documents onto the conference table.
"Everyone, why don't you take a look?"
Then he turned to look at Martin, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, and smiled.
"Your Excellency."
"This method … should also be in line with the rules, right?"
The figure calmly stood under everyone's gaze, with an indescribable transcendent temperament.
Sitting opposite him, M stared at the figure in a daze.
In a trance …
It was as if a fragment of memory flashed through his mind.
Once upon a time …
It seemed to be the same scene.
The man in front of him had easily defeated all of them while talking and laughing, as if he was crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
At this moment.
Just like in the past.
M took a light breath to calm his thoughts, then reached for a document on the table, and flipped through it.
It was also a translation of three languages.
The handwriting on the paper still had a faint smell of printing ink.
The first line of text came into view.
This expert, who was one of the two top legends of the previous generation along with Lee Do-jae, suddenly shuddered. He raised his head and looked at the figure that was still standing with disbelief in his eyes.
This, this is —
