In terms of personality, Mu Qiu was definitely the most prideful of the five players in the team.
Of course, he also had the strength to be proud.
In Season S1, even though he was playing as a support, he was able to reach the top three of the national server in a short period of time. His aggressive playstyle was enough to defeat the bottom lane compositions of the top teams even in the World Finals.
Back then, he was so prideful that he thought no ADC was qualified to be his partner.
However, this pride came from his clear self-awareness.
He knew how strong he was.
And this kind of awareness naturally came from a thorough understanding of the strength of his opponents.
But if he really met a strong player that he recognized, he would accept it without the slightest hesitation.
Back then, the other four members of the team were within the scope of his recognition, and it was indeed after meeting Zhou Mo, whose ID was "Silent Speech", that he completely decided that only this teammate was worthy enough to be his only bottom lane partner.
This was the same for his teammates.
And among his opponents, the team that made him look at them seriously and even be wary of them was the previous team of SSK led by F- Han Shihao.
Mu Qiu was also the most astute player in his team back then. Other than a certain someone, he was the only one in the team who quickly made an evaluation of F's Korean team when he first saw their match. He was certain that F's Korean team would be the toughest and most terrifying opponent in the finals.
And the results proved that his judgment was correct.
Things changed with the passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, five or six years had passed.
Even though he had already left the arena, Mu Qiu still held a grudge against the team that defeated him and his teammates. He would more or less do some research on the current SSK Team.
The information he collected and saw made him silent for a long time.
Perhaps his current strength was not as good as it was back then, but he had never lost his astute judgment.
And now, the conclusion he came to was —
The current SSK team, led by F- Han Shihao, was even more complete and stronger than their predecessor, who had won the championship in Season S1.
He was not belittling himself.
However, Mu Qiu's assessment was realistic. Even if he and his teammates were at their peak, and they had a fifty-fifty chance of winning against SSK's predecessor team, there was no way they could win against the current SSK team.
At the same time, they were not looking down on the teams in the LPL region.
This was because Mu Qiu had a general understanding of the strength of the current God, Quick Water, or whatever KG Bright Light and Black Brilliance squadron. In all fairness, each of these squadrons had their own amazing strengths. However, even the current strongest God squadron was still inferior to them in the past.
Back then, they were really strong.
However …
The Korean team that had been on par with them in the past had become even stronger after so many years of training. They were so strong that they had left them and almost all the other teams in the esports circle far behind.
Mu Qiu couldn't help but frown.
He didn't know what the results of the so-called three-team training in the LPL region had been, but it wasn't just the LPL region that was preparing for the finals. The other regions and even SSK naturally couldn't be idle.
More importantly, even if SSK didn't do anything else, they were almost invincible as long as they maintained their current level of strength.
So this was what puzzled him the most right now.
The difference in strength between the LPL and SSK was almost impossible to close or even close in a short period of time.
This was a fact that the seniors of the LPL region naturally knew.
He had enough respect and admiration for those seniors, but even so, in the face of such a huge objective gap, even those seniors of the LPL region couldn't forcibly reverse it.
So, what was the point of choosing to come out and give pointers to the LPL region at this time?
Such doubts flashed through Mu Qiu's mind, but he quickly shook his head.
It was the same old problem.
There was no need to worry about problems that he didn't have to think about. The seniors of the LPL region naturally had their own reasons for doing so.
Right now …
Let's deal with this round of ranking first.
During this time, the ADC and support duo of the blue and purple sides had already entered the lane phase. Just as one of the purple side's melee minions fell, Hammerstone Jinx took the initiative to level up to Level 2.
Almost without hesitation —
Under Mu Qiu's control, the Warden of the Soul Lock used the summoner's skill [Flash] and dashed forward like lightning.
He suddenly appeared in front of the purple team's ADC, Verus.
[Ignite] was activated.
The E skill "Pendulum of Misfortune" swung its scythe chain from the front to the back, catching Arrow of Punishment off guard and causing him to stagger forward, his movement speed suddenly decreasing.
He threw out an attack.
The combo was completed in the blink of an eye. At the same time, his voice rang out.
"It's open."
…
Xia Ziyou's reaction speed was actually a beat slower.
Seeing that her support, Hammerstone, had already used his E skill to pull back the opponent's ADC, Verus, and a small portion of the combo had already landed on him, she came back to her senses and hurriedly controlled her own ADC, Jinx, to follow up.
With this level of coordination, if this was a higher ranked or professional competition, the other side would have already reacted, and Stonehammer's beautiful opening would have been a waste of time.
But fortunately —
This was just a random matchup in the Platinum Division.
Moreover, the blue support, Hammerstone, was controlled by Mu Qiu.
Therefore, even though Xia Ziyou's ADC, Jinx, hurriedly threw his E skill "Fire Chewer" slightly off the mark, in the next moment, Mu Qiu had already controlled his Warden of the Soul Lock to follow up with the Q skill "Death Sentence".
The scythe chain shot out and hit the ADC, Verus, right in front of his face.
It dragged him back.
He even adjusted his position and managed to drag the Arrow of Retribution to the trap that Jinx had thrown.
Perfect control.
What followed was a brainless attack from Jinx, coupled with Hammerstone's normal A damage, easily taking Verus' head.
The female system voice announced the kill, "One Blood".
Jinx got the head.
Even though Xia Ziyou had a similar experience last time and was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but be dumbfounded again.
"He … he was killed just like that?"
It was unbelievable.
This level of ease was almost the same as bullying noobs in a Bronze match. It felt like it wasn't even that easy to play against a AI.
In contrast, Mu Qiu's reaction was calmer and more casual.
"What else do you want?"
"If there's a kill, I'll take it. Didn't you want to surpass God? Then hurry up —"
