It was also after the young girl's reminder that the LPL members suddenly came to their senses. They remembered some details that they had subconsciously forgotten.
"F * ck, that's right. You even helped Legend out before!"
Shi Hang glared at Lin Feng.
"I was wondering why Phoenix was able to make such a big fuss out of nowhere. So you're an accomplice as well."
Lin Feng scratched his head awkwardly.
"Ah, calling me an accomplice is a little too much …"
"They're old friends. They helped me and Steamed Bun out a little after that."
Ceng Rui looked at the members of Team Legend who were about to leave the stage. His gaze fell on Phoenix and he sighed.
"This ruckus … isn't small at all."
Phoenix's signature playstyle and hero pool leaned more towards the rhythm of the mid-late game and overall planning. In terms of individual control, they were only slightly better than Team Fate's "Moon Empress" Moon.
But what happened just now …
Phoenix's one-handed solo kill on Jayz had completely changed his playstyle.
Aggressive on the offensive line.
Oppressive force.
And mid-game banding.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water. Just this one move alone was enough to completely overwhelm Team Season. Even Autumn, the God of Support, had a hard time dealing with it.
"This doesn't make sense. I didn't see Phoenix's playstyle change during the practice match two days ago …"
Huangxue Nightsong was still puzzled.
Indeed.
During the past two days of training, God had sparred with Legend more than once. However, the playstyle displayed by Phoenix was still the same as before. There were not many changes to their playstyle.
Morning Star shook his head and sighed.
"That's why —"
"Practice matches aren't something that can be taken lightly."
"Every team deliberately hides their trump cards. They won't just bring them out during a practice match."
Li Shiyi nodded solemnly.
"Yes."
"And Phoenix definitely doesn't only have Jayce as their trump card."
It was easy for the LPL players to accept this logic because they only needed to think about it for a while to understand the crux of it. Phoenix's transformation was not as simple as becoming the Future Guardian, Jayz. This transformation and breakthrough lay in his playstyle.
In this match, he was able to bring out a skill like Jayce's.
In that case, it was definitely possible that Europe's number one Wizard King would easily pull out heroes like Sindera, Ike, or even the Enchantress and the Little Fishman from his pool of heroes, which he had rarely used in international competitions in the past.
This was what it meant to be able to understand everything.
This also increased the danger level of the Legend team's mid laner captain.
"It's already scary enough, and now you even want to improve and break through. How are you going to let others play —"
Shi Hang held his forehead in pain.
What he got in return was a squint from a certain someone.
"Even Ah Xing has found the feeling of breaking through the bottleneck after holding back for so many years. Don't you allow the Four Emperors to work hard to find ways to break through?"
"To be able to stand at such a height, no one would slack off, okay?"
An Xin nodded.
"That's right."
"When you reach the heights of the Four Emperors, the pressure and pressure you feel is much greater than that of a normal professional player.
"Every day, you work hard to improve yourself."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the stage.
"This year …"
"It feels like it's going to be a 'bountiful' year."
"Every single one of them has found their own path, and every single one of them has brought out new and true abilities."
"It sure is lively."
It wasn't just Phoenix.
Fate's Moon, whom he had just sparred with yesterday, was also one of them.
Even Season, who had just lost to Legend, and Autumn, the support god, couldn't afford to be careless even though their first match in the group stage had ended in defeat.
Because to put it bluntly, this was just the group stage.
Regardless of the outcome of the first match, there was no doubt that both Legend and Season would advance to the next round.
So …
Who knew if the support god, who was ranked second among the Four Emperors, had factored these factors into his calculations.
The strength that Season had displayed just now …
That might not even be all that they had.
"That's why I'm here today."
Morning Star opened his mouth slowly.
"The mock competition isn't much."
"Only when the group stage officially begins will we be able to see more from these teams."
The shadow puppet beside him nodded in agreement.
"Yes."
"We can't miss any of the following matches either."
…
As for Group A and Group B, even if SSK, KG, Season, and Legend were excluded, the remaining four teams were still worth watching and learning from even if their chances of advancing to the next round were slim.
However, after the three group matches in the morning, it was already close to noon.
It was time for lunch.
Not only the audience, but the participating players also had to fill their stomachs before they could continue playing.
Thus, the stadium temporarily welcomed an intermission break.
It was also at this time that Lin Feng, his teammates, and the rest of the LPL players finally met up with Team KG, Tian Tian, and the rest of the players.
They asked about the situation. It turned out that the members of KG hadn't been watching the matches in the morning. Instead, they had stayed in the lounge backstage and continued to train.
In order to maintain their form and feel.
After all, today was the opening ceremony of the finals. It was different from the previous two days of mock competitions. It was inevitable that the players would feel a little nervous and stressed. Only by fighting a few more matches could they relax.
The effect was obvious.
Demon Ghost, Old C, Konjac, and the rest of KG's team were more relaxed. They were even able to chat and laugh with the members of the other two LPL teams.
Instead, it was Tian Tian, who was the ace of the team, who was a little nervous.
Shi Hang glanced over.
"Old Tian, you can't change your bad habit."
"It's like this every year in the finals. You don't have the demeanor of the world's top laner at all."
He seemed to be exasperated at the fact that he had not lived up to his expectations.
Tian Tian was in a dilemma.
"I don't want to …"
"But, but, but, I'm nervous."
As he spoke, he subconsciously twisted his hands. It was true that he was under pressure.
Huangxue Nightsong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're just playing BW later. What's there to be nervous about? Just be a little more serious and you'll crush them —"
Tian Tian grimaced.
"I know —"
"But I can't control myself when I'm nervous. I'm always worried that I won't perform well …"
"It's fine." Lin Feng patted his former teammate on the shoulder and comforted him. "I heard that Senior Three and the others will be coming to watch your match later. If you don't perform well, you'll definitely die —"
Tian Tian's face instantly turned green.
An Xin rubbed her forehead helplessly.
"Idiot, you call that comforting …"
