The so-called comments such as "not bad" and "average" were only limited to the legendary existences of the previous generation such as No. 2 and No. 3.
In fact, Tian Tian's top laner Kenan's performance had already amazed the entire arena.
It wasn't just the players in the audience seats who were dazzled, cheering and cheering.
Even the players and members of the various Clubs couldn't help but have their expressions turn cold.
Because they saw the "round" play of KG's top laner today …
Compared to the mock competition two days ago …
It was obvious that he was much stronger than before!
Perhaps this was the true strength of the number one top laner in the LPL. He had been holding back during the mock competition.
On the COG team's side, Seven, the veteran top laner of the Seven Kings, had a sincere look of admiration on his face. Although he was also one of the Seven Kings, he knew very well that the gap between him and his opponent in the LPL region was gradually widening, be it in terms of condition or strength.
Even SSK's Wolf and Minx's The-Sword narrowed their eyes when they saw Kenan's godly performance on the blue box on the spectator screen.
As strong as they were …
They also felt threatened to a certain extent.
Fly, who was sitting next to The-Sword, snorted coldly.
"That's all you got."
"Didn't you lose to us yesterday?"
His words seemed to be full of contempt and disdain for KG's top laner, or rather, for KG's entire team.
The-Sword turned his head and glanced at his teammate.
"Let's think about how we're going to get out of the group first."
Indeed.
Even if they had absolute confidence and pride in their own abilities, it was still difficult for The-Sword to have full confidence in the situation of the death group that Minx had been assigned to.
Their opponents … were the three guilds of Assassin, God, and Fate.
Any one of them alone was enough to pose a huge threat to Minx. It was hard to tell who would win if they fought against each other.
Therefore, no matter how strong Minx was, Group D was destined to face an unprecedentedly difficult battle.
Even Fly was speechless at his teammate's words. He waved his hand angrily.
"It's all because of your draw!"
"It wouldn't be so troublesome if I were in another group!"
Being assigned to a death group like this, even he, who had always been arrogant and looked down on everyone, couldn't help but grumble.
At the same time, a few SSK members were also discussing KG's performance. Mafa's gaze moved away from the statistics on the spectator screen and he nodded slightly.
"This YGG is in good shape."
"If we were to encounter them again, we would also need to be more careful."
Although SSK, who was ranked number one in the world, was far stronger than KG in terms of overall strength, the current version of the tournament was still one where the top laner had the most say. If a team had a strong core top laner, the overall combat strength of the team would increase immensely.
Cube, who was the support of the team, adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and nodded.
"In the match between KG and Minx the day before yesterday, it was thanks to YGG's Nair that turned the tables."
"We need to avoid that."
Ray chuckled.
"Then don't give them a chance to drag it out to the mid and late stages. Just let Wolf crush them in the early stages!"
His tone was matter-of-fact.
Upon hearing this, Wolf, who was the top laner of the team, glanced at his ADC teammate. "If it's that easy, you can do it. I'm not that good."
Ray choked on his words. After a long while, he finally spoke again.
"If it's really not good, then let Brother Mafa help him a few more times."
"It's not like YGG can do anything by himself! Brother Shihao, don't you think so? "
With the topic thrown to Han Shihao, the eyes of SSK's main players turned to look at their captain, who was leaning against the back of his chair with his eyes closed. Surprisingly, they didn't get a reply for a long time.
"Brother Shihao?" Ray couldn't help but call out again.
At this time, Han Shihao seemed to have just returned to his senses. He opened his eyes and looked at his teammates.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the faint traces of fatigue on his teammate's face, Mafa furrowed his brows. "You really didn't rest well. Go back and sleep early today. The next match has just started. You need to adjust your condition."
Ray also had a worried look on his face. He nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, if you're tired, Brother Shihao, why don't we stop watching the next match and go back to the hotel to rest? We can't afford to get sick."
Han Shihao shook his head in response to his teammates' concern and goodwill.
"I'm fine."
"You guys continue watching the match."
"I'll just lean against the chair and rest for a while."
His tone was still calm, but it carried an unquestionable tone. After finishing his sentence, he leaned back against the chair again and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing their captain like this, the other four members of SSK looked at each other. They knew that they couldn't influence or change his decision, but they didn't know how to figure out the cause of the situation. Worry could be seen in each other's eyes.
Perhaps their club's young chief supervisor could come up with a solution?
But it wouldn't work.
The two of them weren't on good terms to begin with.
…
All four matches in Group A had ended. Finally, it was Group B's turn. There were only two matches left in the group stage.
One was Team Cog against a wild card.
The other was a wild card against Season.
Basically, there wasn't any suspense. In this group, it was obvious that the wild card team was at the bottom of the food chain.
The result was as expected —
Team Cog won, taking one win.
Team Season had also secured a victory.
At this point, the eight matches in Group A and Group B were over. SSK was currently in first place in Group A with a 2-0 record, while Legend was also in first place in Group B with the same 2-0 record. The rest of the teams were just like KG with one win, Crown with one win and one loss, and Season with one win and one loss …
The unluckiest team was still BW in Group A.
They lost all three matches.
Of course, if BW could get another three consecutive wins, they might have a slight chance of advancing to the next round. After all, the group stage had only just begun. Anything was possible after this.
The first day of the group stage had ended. The players in the stadium stood up and left, unsatisfied.
Under the guidance of their respective coaches and leaders, the players of the various clubs boarded the bus and returned to the hotel.
That night, for the first time, Lin Feng said that he was tired after dinner and went back to his room early to sleep. Coincidentally, at SSK Club, after a simple dinner, Han Shihao requested for leave from his coach and returned to his room early to rest.
Time quietly fell into the night.
Deep into the night.
It was still the training room on the sixth floor of the hotel.
A certain someone had snuck out of his room and quietly pushed open the door to the training room.
The person who seemed to have been waiting in the training room for a long time looked up. His expression was as indifferent as ever.
"You're late."
A certain someone scratched his head nonchalantly.
"If I'm too early, I'll be discovered and won't be able to come out."
He walked to the same seat as yesterday and sat down. He raised an eyebrow at his former nemesis sitting opposite him. "Let's go."
