It was no exaggeration to say that for the three teams in the LPL division, their biggest luck this year was to invite a few legendary seniors to personally give them pointers.
Although in the first half of the training and preparation, the seniors, who were specially hired as coaches, seemed to be busy with other trivial matters and were not able to give specific one-on-one pointers to every member of the three teams, even if they only occasionally showed up to watch a few matches and then casually gave some pointers, it was enough to protect the general direction of the three teams on the tactical and strategic level, and also to give all the players a reassurance.
Moreover, a small number of targeted pointers and teachings played a crucial and important role.
Others aside, Barren Snow Nightsong had also received pointers and guidance from Number Five. Although he did not have an obvious qualitative breakthrough like Tian Tian and Morning Star, his performance in the group finals and quarterfinals was far sharper and more experienced than in previous years. His aggressiveness did not diminish in the slightest, but at the same time, he had an air of being at ease and in control.
Not to mention Tian Tian, previously Number Three did not spend much effort on him at all. It was just that one night of special training and teaching a few days ago that directly stimulated Tian Tian's fighting spirit and belief, allowing him to completely unleash his full potential when facing a terrifying opponent like Fate in the top eight, and even half a step into the threshold of the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
Just one night had already produced such an effect.
Previously, although Number Three had never been good at teaching and giving pointers, once he made a move, he immediately built up a huge amount of confidence and expectation in all the juniors.
And Number Three did not disappoint them.
As soon as he arrived in Berlin and came to the hotel, he heard about the problems that Tian Tian and the others encountered here, and without hesitation, he made a swift and decisive decision to immediately start training.
It seemed that the difficult problems for these juniors were not even worth mentioning when it came to him.
"It's just that you've just taken half a step into the threshold, and haven't had time to find the path that truly suits you as a Yonkō (Four Emperors)."
"It's not a problem."
"Although this kind of thing still depends on you in the end, after all, as a senior who has experienced it, it's still okay for me to give you some reference advice and help you find some feeling in your training."
When talking about this problem, Number Three's tone could only be described as an understatement, as if it was not a problem at all.
"However, time is indeed a little tight."
"It's going to be difficult to train to the point where I can face an SSK head-on, but it's not impossible."
"Two and a half days left, right?"
"Then be prepared to suffer and get beaten up. Next … I won't go easy on you like I did that night."
Tian Tian nodded with a solemn expression.
"Senior, just bring it on!"
After hearing Tian Tian's words, Number Three raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at the junior in front of him who would never have said such bold words in the past. Then, the corner of his mouth curled up.
"Sure."
"That's more like it."
"Looks like … I have to be more serious."
At the same time, Number 2's gaze landed on Morning Star. "As for you, with your current level and condition, you really don't need too many so-called pointers. Don't relax. Just maintain the intensity of your training these few days."
Although his tone was as cold as usual, there was a rare hint of sternness in it. Morning Star nodded respectfully to show that he understood. Then, when Number 2's gaze turned to Demonic Ghost, KG's mid laner, his expression turned cold again.
"Demonic Ghost, right?"
Demonic Ghost nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, yes. Senior, it's me …"
He could not help but reveal a hint of guilt and nervousness in his tone.
Number 2 said coldly,
"You didn't play well in the quarterfinals."
That one sentence was almost straight to the point without the slightest bit of politeness or mercy. Demonic Ghost's forehead instantly beaded with sweat, but he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, so … I hope Senior can give me some pointers!"
Number 2's expression was still as cold as ever.
"Of course."
"With your current level, if you don't practice hard, you'll be embarrassing yourself when you go out."
"When you played against Fate, I allowed you to mingle a little, but against an opponent like SSK, if you, as a mid laner, do not stand a chance, KG will have no hope at all. Don't think that just because you have Little Fatty as a top laner, you can rest easy. This competition is a competition between five people. If you want to win, don't even think about quitting!"
His words caused the KG members to subconsciously straighten their backs and take the scolding obediently.
Number 4 adjusted the gold-rimmed spectacles on his nose bridge and smiled warmly to smooth things over.
"Alright, there's no need to be so nervous.
"There's not much time left, but there's still a chance to sharpen your spears.
"As for me, I'm not as good as your seniors Number 2 and Number 3, but I can still help you guys look for weaknesses and discuss strategies and strategies."
Everyone cheered up when they heard that, and expressions of joy appeared on their faces.
Lin Feng also nodded from the side.
"That's right, that's right. If it's Senior Number 4, compared to individual ability, your analysis of strategies and pointers are definitely the best ~"
As soon as he finished flattering them, Number 2's cold gaze swept over him.
"Cut the crap, you brat.
"Don't think that with us around, you can just sit around and do nothing.
"For the next few days, focus on your training as a sparring partner. Don't even think about slacking off on your own training. Once we've dealt with these kids, I'll come and check if you've made any progress."
Huh?
A certain someone, who had never thought that he would get shot while lying down, was instantly dumbfounded. But under the pressure of Senior Number 2's aura, he could only scratch his head and obediently agree.
"Oh, oh … okay."
…
Although they were still a little fearful of their seniors, the arrival of No.2, No.3, and No.4 was like a shot of adrenaline for the players of Team KG and Team God. The arrival of No.2, No.3, and No.4 lifted everyone's spirits.
And so, over the next two days, everyone immediately threw themselves into a new round of high-intensity training.
It was tough. Naturally, it was even tougher than before.
But with the careful guidance of the seniors, the speed at which they improved was incomparably gratifying. This made everyone even more excited, and they gritted their teeth and persevered in their training.
"But I'm actually fine."
"As for Senior Number 2, he's just a little fierce in the beginning. When he's really busy, he can't even wait to worry about KG and God. He doesn't have the time to care about me at all."
"Fatty is now being dragged by Senior Number 3 to train every day, and he's clearly starting to get the hang of it. As expected of Senior Number 3 … It turns out that he didn't even use his full strength that night. He's so strong!"
"Oh, come to think of it, Fatty isn't the one who's suffering the most. Do you remember KG's midlaner? Hahaha, that guy is being targeted by Senior Number 2. Every day after team training, he has to stay behind to continue solo training. Towards the end, he can't even cry. The others have already hidden far away and don't dare to interfere — "
"Ah Zeng and Eleven are also helping out, and both of them have made progress."
"Tang Tang is a little busier. Senior Bullet has also arrived in Berlin. Every afternoon, he'll call Tang Tang over to train … I feel that Tang Tang's progress will be very shocking."
"The top four will be the day after tomorrow."
"Two big battles. If it were me, I wouldn't even dare to guess the outcome. I can only wait to see it with my own eyes."
"So —"
That night, a certain someone was leaning against the bed in a hotel room, typing a message on his phone. When he reached this point, he paused for a moment and added the last sentence.
"Why aren't you here yet?"
