It was already afternoon.
Group A and B's matches continued in an orderly fashion.
Group B's second match was still up against Team Legend. Their opponent was the second seeded team from the North American region, Team COG.
Although Team COG, with their seven king-tier top laners, wasn't weak either, they were still no match for Team Legend, who had just defeated the North American number one seeded team in one go this morning.
In this match, Phoenix had their Future Guardian, Jayz, banned in the Ban phase, but still casually brought out Crafty Enchantress, Lefran.
Once again, it shocked the entire audience.
And then … it shocked the audience even more.
Lefran's performance was even more eye-catching than Jayce's performance in the morning's match.
Two solo kills in the mid lane.
Roaming the map.
Two crucial team battles where he single-handedly cut into the opponent's backline core position in an instant.
In the end, Team Legend won another match, and Phoenix's Crafty Enchantress's final score was locked at 8/0/4.
"This guy's in really good form today."
Even Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
Furthermore, Team Legend had won two matches in a row. Their last opponent in the first group stage was a wild card team, and they were basically guaranteed to advance to the next round.
Next, it was Group A's turn.
Group A's third match was up against BW, who had already lost a match in the morning.
There was basically no suspense in the outcome.
The match ended easily in twenty-seven minutes. It was a one-sided victory from the start to the end. They did not give their opponents, the European black horse, any chance at all. Even the genius jungler, Nate, was completely suppressed when he encountered Mafa, the world's top jungler. He did not have the slightest chance to perform.
The Chinese players and netizens on the major domestic live streaming platforms gasped in admiration. The bullet screen was flooded with comments.
"F * ck, SSK is still awesome …"
"Completely crushed, I guess."
"Both sides aren't even on the same level."
"Mafa is so much stronger than that Nate. As expected, there's no way a talented rookie can compete with a veteran Wild King."
However, even though SSK's crushing victory was enjoyable to watch, the majority of the Chinese server players were still looking forward to the performance of their own LPL division teams even though they were glued to their computer screens to watch the livestream.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long.
After the match between SSK and BW, it was finally KG's turn to compete in the fourth match of Group A.
Their opponent was still BW.
In the stadium, what was rather surprising was that Number 1, Number 3, and the others really showed up backstage.
The members of King's team, as well as the players from the other two LPL teams who had come to the backstage to cheer for King, hurried over to greet the seniors respectfully when they saw them.
Number One chuckled and waved his hand. "It's fine. You guys go ahead with your own business. We're just here to take a look."
Number Three, on the other hand, looked at Tian Tian and raised his eyebrows.
"Nervous?"
Tian Tianxia instinctively straightened his back.
"No, I'm not nervous!"
Looking at Tian Tian's expression, Number Three pursed his lips.
"Play well even if you're nervous, you hear me?"
Tian Tian nodded ferociously.
"I hear you, I hear you —"
Number Five, who was beside him, smiled and came over to help. "Alright, alright, don't give Little Tian too much pressure. Just play as you normally would, and you won't lose."
Number Two, on the other hand, snorted coldly.
"What would happen if we lose?"
"Against a weak team like this, we should win within 25 minutes. Otherwise, it'll be a disgrace."
Lin Feng rubbed his nose and cautiously reminded Number Two, "Senior Number Two, SSK took 27 minutes to defeat BW."
Moreover, even though BW was a rookie, they weren't a weak team …
What he got in return was a cold glare from Number Two.
"What? Do you think SSK can't beat them just because they took 27 minutes? Do you think it's better than 27 minutes? "
Someone was tongue-tied. Then, he tactfully retreated to the side and gave Tian Tian a "I can't help you" look.
The seniors were here …
The degree of strictness of the requirements was immediately doubled.
Winning wasn't enough for them. They even had to compete with SSK to see who won more beautifully and cleanly. God knows if the players of BW would vomit blood from anger if they heard this. They were looking down on them too much.
Number Four's gaze landed on Lin Feng. He seemed to have noticed something and was slightly surprised.
"Why do you have such heavy eye circles?"
"Didn't you rest well last night?"
Number Three also looked over and raised an eyebrow.
"Really."
"Hey, I saw that Han kid from SSK just now. He looks pretty much the same, right?"
Hence, the seniors started scrutinizing Number Three. Feeling guilty, Number Three laughed dryly. "Hahaha, yeah, yeah … I'm a little picky about my bed, so I didn't sleep well …"
Number Three was baffled. "You sleep like a pig everywhere you go. Since when are you picky about your bed?"
Beside him, An Xin looked at Number Three maliciously.
"Yeah."
"Seniors, you guys also feel that something's not right, right?"
"Someone seems to be hiding something …"
…
Perhaps the arrival of the seniors had given the members of KING Battle Team a boost of confidence.
Or perhaps it was simply because of the lesson taught by No.2 and No.3, which allowed Tian Tian, the core and main top laner of the team, to finally gather enough fighting spirit.
Hence, in the fourth match of Group A, the match between KG Team and BW Team ended at a much faster pace and tempo than the previous match.
26 minutes and 35 seconds!
A blue "Victory" emblem appeared on the giant LCD screen in the stadium.
The entire stadium was filled with thunderous cheers and applause.
In the live broadcast channels of the finals on all the major domestic streaming platforms, the Chinese players and viewers' bullet screens exploded with excitement!
They won!
In less than 27 minutes.
KG had clinched his first victory!
In the gymnasium, Number One, Number Three, and the others who were sitting together with Lin Feng and the others nodded their heads in satisfaction.
Number Two gave a concise comment:
"Not bad."
Number Five smiled.
"Little Tian did very well this round."
Number Three pursed his lips and commented reluctantly, "That's right.
"It's alright."
"Not bad. You didn't lose face."
Compared to this so-called "average" evaluation, the final KDA value of KG Team's top laner Kainan, which was displayed on the final battle score chart on the spectator's screen, was already stunning and eye-catching enough —
8/0/3。
Godly!
