It might be hard to believe, but in reality, for everyone in Team God, before today, they actually didn't have a clear understanding of how strong their team's ace mid laner, Morning Star, had become.
Although they could vaguely feel the changes in their captain's playstyle during the three teams' recent training, they could also feel that something good was really happening from his increasingly joyful smile.
They also clearly knew that their captain was only one step away from the realm of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), which almost all professional players couldn't reach.
But even so, it was still just a concept.
Because even before this, their captain had always been recognized as the strongest mid laner below the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
But he still hadn't truly crossed that threshold, right?
So even if there was improvement, as long as he hadn't truly broken through, it shouldn't be the time for a qualitative change.
This was what most of the members of Team God thought.
They couldn't be blamed for this.
Because the concept of improvement in strength, if there wasn't enough concrete measurement or reference, it would be very vague. As for Lin Feng, who could originally be used as a measurement, although his strength had already returned to the realm of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), most of the members of Team God still didn't understand him well enough.
They only knew that Little Brother Lin Feng's strength was frightening, and that he might be able to fight against the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
But in the end, he wasn't one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) who stood at the top of the pyramid for a long time.
Even the members of Team God, who were recognized as the number one team in the LPL, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe whenever the existence of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) was mentioned, even with their pride and confidence.
This was an innate reverence towards the powerhouses who stood at the top of the pyramid.
The members of Team God would also try their best to challenge the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the teams of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), but this in itself was a subconscious thought that they were willing to be inferior to others. With this thought, it meant that they thought that they were weaker than the other party.
They never thought that one day, they would actually be able to stand on equal footing with the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the teams of the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
Naturally, they never thought that —
Their mid laner captain, Morning Star, actually had a day where he could truly match up to the Yonko.
And when this extravagant fantasy that had never appeared in their minds actually came true, this enormous happiness and shock of joy would suddenly burst out like a flood, completely filling their hearts with ecstasy.
Just like how the vice-leader of Team God was feeling.
…
At this point, the vice-leader of Team God couldn't hold back his excitement. His face was flushed red, and he almost danced with joy to express his emotions.
"You didn't see it!"
"In the BAN round, when Ah Xing took out Lamia in the mid lane, he shocked the Fate players."
"Usually, Ah Xing would use Card, Clockwerk, or Victor in tournaments. Fate's players would never expect him to bring out a Lamia! And he dared to go all out right from the start! "
"That Moon didn't expect Ah Xing's current fighting style to be like this. His Level 3 Ryze was poisoned by Ah Xing's Lamia when she saw an opportunity. She immediately went up and used [Ignite] to kill him!"
"Their jungler couldn't even support him in time! The mid lane allowed Ah Xing to build up his Lamia momentum! "
The vice-leader of Team God didn't describe in detail how Morning Star's mid laner Lamia's performance was breathtaking and stunning, but Lin Feng was already able to draw a picture of the situation without much effort.
It was normal.
Since even the members of Club God didn't realize how terrifying Morning Star's current strength was, then there was no need to mention Fate, who hadn't fought Morning Star for at least half a year.
Indeed, they would be caught off guard …
As the weakest of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), Moon's strength was not much stronger than Morning Star's. In fact, it could be said that they were almost on par with each other. In terms of individual ability in the early game, Morning Star was even slightly better than Moon.
And now, Morning Star had found a turning point in his playstyle.
From the original stable and conservative style, he finally revealed his sharpness and turned into an aggressive style.
His individual ability, which was already comparable to the Yonko back then, was now able to be unleashed to the fullest.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't surprising that Moon, who was caught off guard, was killed in the early game. And as long as he established an advantage in the early game, with Morning Star's strength, he naturally wouldn't let go of the snowball opportunity. Then, even if Moon could react in time and start to adjust, it was destined that he wouldn't be able to stop Morning Star's rhythm and footsteps.
Therefore, just as the vice-leader of Team God described the situation in the second half of the match —
The other lanes, including the jungler, were uneventful.
However, it was because of this serious miscalculation in the middle lane that caused Fate's rhythm to be completely messed up. Morning Star's mid laner Lamia, who had quickly developed in the early stages of the game, carried the team's rhythm like she was cutting melons and vegetables. In the end, she led her teammates to victory.
Of course, even if they lost, Fate still showed their great strength as the second seed of the LCK.
They managed to hold on for nearly 40 minutes in a disadvantageous situation.
They even almost found an opportunity to turn the tables several times.
Moon's Ryze, the mid laner of Team God, even managed to deal a terrifying amount of damage in the late game, almost turning the tide and saving the situation.
It was precisely because of this that Fate, the team that lost the match in the end, felt dissatisfied and immediately asked Team God for a rematch after the end of the mock competition.
"You're dissatisfied …"
Ceng Rui touched his nose, a look of understanding on his face.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng's gaze had already passed through the crowd of spectators and landed on the battlefield. He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh, but there's no use in being dissatisfied."
An Xin smiled and said, "Oh, but there's no use in being dissatisfied.
"Yeah."
"Even if Fate 'goes all out', he still … might not win."
As if to prove their judgment.
Eighteen minutes later.
When the match reached the 33rd minute mark, in the spectator's view on the electronic screen on the wall, the purple crystal that symbolized Team Fate exploded amidst the distorted light.
The eye-catching blue "Victory" emblem slowly rose into the air.
The entire fourth training room was in an uproar!
Almost all the players and coaches of other teams who had come to watch the match were stunned. The cheers of Club God exploded, and the members of Club Fate, who had lost again, could hardly believe their eyes.
In the midst of such a heated atmosphere, Moon, who was sitting in the purple team's mid laner seat, slowly stood up.
His gaze was fixed on Morning Star, who was on the opposite side.
After a while.
Finally, he spoke.
"Congratulations."
His tone was unprecedentedly solemn.
Morning Star also stood up. Behind him were the fanatical gazes of his teammates. He smiled at the opponent in front of him.
"You're welcome."
