After all, in the new generation of professional esports, there were very few people who had personally experienced and witnessed the creation of League of Legends in the S1 season.
Most people's impressions of that era were extremely vague, and even a few precious video recordings from that year were unable to see the full picture.
Naturally, it was difficult to have a deep understanding of the players who dazzled the professional scene in the S1 season.
Of course —
Due to the existence of Nian Thirteen, Phoenix, and Han Shihao, as the first batch of elite professional players in Season S1, they had been fighting hard in the professional eSports arena and were still standing proudly at the top of the pyramid. Therefore, most people still held a little bit of respect for that season.
Especially Han Shihao, the current leader of the Yonko.
From that year until now.
He had always stood at the top.
He carried the flag of a veteran professional player, so when talking about the S1 season, no one dared to be too disrespectful and underestimate him.
But for most people, although they recognized Han Shihao's strength, they only recognized him as a person.
At most, Nian Thirteen and Phoenix were included, but they were already slightly inferior to Phoenix.
Are you kidding me?
An existence on par with F?
Stop bragging. It was already unprecedented for a pro player like F-God to appear in an entire generation. How could there be a second one that just popped out?
Oh, even if there was someone who could exchange a few moves with God F back then, it was certainly impossible for them to stand at the same level as God F. Maybe it was just fake news created by some esports media to hype up the news and attract attention.
Most people would have this kind of opinion and view.
Of course, Moon was never one of these people.
He had always known of Lin Feng's existence.
He knew the weight and significance of the ID "Maple" back in the day.
But unavoidably, because he wasn't a witness of the S1 season, although he had heard of the countless explosive battles between Han Shihao and a certain someone in that season, he couldn't help but be a little skeptical.
This was because he knew very well what realm Han Shihao's individual operating ability had reached.
It was even more difficult to believe that there was someone who could fight on par with the leader of SSK's Four Emperors in this field.
So, when today's training match gave him a chance …
Thus, he chose to personally verify this matter.
Right now.
The results of the verification were right in front of them.
The rumors were true. Sure enough, the person in front of him was the same as the world's number one mid laner from SSK. In the field of individual control, he had reached a level that even the average Yonkō couldn't hope to match.
It was also because of this that Moon sincerely exclaimed, "Two monsters."
He thought that Han Shihao's unique ability was already shocking enough.
Unexpectedly …
There really was another monster that was not inferior to him.
"Now I know." Moon looked at Lin Feng and sighed. "Why does F always see you as a rival? Why do you only see him?"
"In this esports circle … if we don't count the seniors from the previous generation, apart from the two of you, there shouldn't be a third person who can compete with you in terms of mechanics."
As one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), the weight and meaning of these words were even more solid.
Even he had to admit that he was inferior.
Below the Yonkō, even Morning Star, Orian, and Spoon, the veteran top seven king mid laners, were no exception.
Of course, there were some newcomers recently, but if Fly, the genius mid laner from Minx, were to meet someone in a head-on confrontation, he would probably not fare well.
"You only found out now?"
"What were you doing earlier —"
Next to them, Nian Thirteen was gloating. "I've told you guys before, but you guys didn't believe me, okay?"
At this moment, he felt a little proud and elated.
Compared to Moon in front of him, Nian Thirteen had personally experienced the S1 season. He had also witnessed countless top-tier battles between Moon and Han Shihao. Therefore, he had a very clear understanding of Moon's strength and strengths.
Even as proud as he was, he had never doubted or felt dissatisfied with this matter. He even took it for granted as a dogma that he firmly believed in.
Perhaps Maple and F weren't invincible after all.
But as long as one had a bit of a brain and still had a bit of optimism and longing for life …
They would rather die than challenge these two monsters in the field of individual operating ability.
Even if you want to die, you shouldn't do it this way!
Moon smiled, and his expression returned to normal.
"It's fine.
"It's not too late to know now.
"I won't do it again."
Lin Feng chuckled. "Don't say that. You're welcome to try again next time."
It was rare to have an opponent of this level as a whetstone. Moreover, it was in his area of expertise. This kind of good thing was hard to come by, and it was indeed satisfying.
Moon shook his head again.
"Once is enough.
"The next time we meet, it'll be a real fight."
After saying that, he paused and looked at Lin Feng again.
"But —"
"After this match, let me be the judge. Even in this field of pure individual operating ability, you're still no match for F.
"If he had played Enchantress, you would've died."
Lin Feng's smile faded, and he slowly nodded.
"I know."
"Thanks."
After Morning Star, Phoenix, and the others, Moon was the second top mid to speak so bluntly to Lin Feng. It also confirmed the truth of this comparison.
After saying this, Moon turned around and left.
Watching Moon leave, Nian Thirteen moved closer to Lin Feng. "Sigh, he didn't forget to make fun of you before he left. It's obvious he's not convinced. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it."
Lin Feng ignored Nian Thirteen's attempt to fan the flames. He shook his head.
"But he's right.
"Also —
"The next time we meet, even I might not be able to beat him easily."
Lin Feng's tone was frank and serious.
Indeed.
What Moon said just now was not just empty talk. The reason why he was able to gain the upper hand in today's mid laner match was not because he completely crushed his opponent. It was because his opponent took the initiative to challenge him in the field that he was most familiar with.
But while individual operating ability was Lin Feng's forte, it wasn't Moon's.
This time, Moon lost because of his stubbornness.
How could the captain of Fate, one of the Four Emperors, be so stubborn every time?
It was just as he said.
The next time they met …
It would be a real tough battle.
