Inside the internet cafe, Chen Ting's question to Lin Feng was very straightforward, and it was exactly what had been bothering him.
To be honest, he hadn't expected a certain someone to suddenly come knocking on his door today.
The last time the two had met was more than half a year ago, and aside from those few matches and solo matches, they hadn't interacted with each other, let alone become friends.
Under these circumstances, a certain someone who hadn't seen him for half a year had suddenly come knocking on his door, played a few solo matches, and then directly invited him to play professionally.
Most people wouldn't do something like that.
In response to Chen Ting's straightforward question, Lin Feng's answer was also quite straightforward.
"Oh, because I don't have any other suitable candidates."
It was quite in line with a certain someone's straightforwardness.
But it was also the truth.
If he could choose first, then the ideal solo player for his team would naturally be Fatty. Little Eight wasn't a bad choice either, but in a situation where both of them weren't suitable, the captain of the 72 ° Internet Cafe team in front of him, the third player, had overtaken him and became the only life-saving straw.
Lin Feng's words were honest, but Chen Guo and 72 ° 'jungler weren't happy to hear them.
"What … what do you mean by that?"
"So my brother is someone you only found because you had no other choice? Hey, hey, can you stop bragging? Is that how you ask for help? "
Lin Feng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly added.
"Of course, he's also a very suitable candidate."
"Your top laner is very good!"
Chen Ting didn't pay much attention to Lin Feng's praise. He waved his hand.
"You're too kind.
But you're not bad yourself. There's no need to ask me to join, right? "
This was also the truth.
To put it bluntly, although Chen Ting's facial expression did not reveal too much information, he was actually quite shaken in his heart.
In the past half a year, he had not slacked off in his training. Every day, he would play solo in the Chinese server and even in the Korean server's Challenger's Group. He had encountered many professional players, and after honing his skills, he had improved significantly compared to before — — — — — -
But even so, he hadn't been able to gain the slightest advantage over a certain someone in the last four matches.
This was a situation that he rarely encountered when facing professional top laners in random games.
The person in front of him was the first top-tier expert he had met in real life who could match him in terms of pure matchmaking.
Since that was the case, he was an expert. Logically speaking, there was no need for him to seek help from others.
Hearing Chen Ting's words, Lin Feng scratched his head.
"That's right —"
"But I'm a mid laner."
Chen Ting was stunned by such a simple sentence.
After a long time, he finally reacted.
"So, so that's how it is …"
Whispered Chen Ting. He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng with a complicated expression.
Indeed, he had accidentally forgotten about such a thing. Half a year ago, when they fought, he already knew that this person in front of him was originally a mid laner, and only occasionally switched to the top laner. But if that was the case … then the nature of the battle would be completely different.
Originally, he had subconsciously considered and compared the other player to himself, and it was already enough for him to give such a shocking evaluation.
But if Lin Feng's main role was mid …
It was even more shocking that he could have such frightening top laner skills.
More importantly, not all top laners could have such a level of skill, so how strong was the main mid?
"I'm not as good as you."
At this moment, Chen Ting was finally convinced by Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled.
"You're too kind. You're not bad yourself."
These words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. Chen Ting wasn't the only one who was shocked by the results of the four solo battles. Lin Feng was also pleasantly surprised by the results of the four solo battles.
One must know that although his fight with Chen Ting half a year ago seemed to have ended in a draw, he had yet to recover his strength.
Now, he was close to returning to his peak condition. If he fought Chen Ting again, he had more than an 80% chance of winning.
But now …
It was still a 2-2 draw.
This meant that in the past six months, the strength of 72 ° Internet Cafe's team captain had also increased by leaps and bounds. He was also far stronger than he was half a year ago.
This showed that talent and hard work were indispensable. They were both the results of a long time ago.
This naturally made Lin Feng even more determined to recruit Lin Feng into his team.
However, at this moment, Chen Ting shook his head.
"Thank you for the compliment.
But why do you think I want to play professionally? Being a normal player is pretty good, isn't it? "
… …
Indeed.
For most normal players, becoming a professional player was a height that they could only dream of but not reach.
But in reality, there were many strong players in the country. Perhaps they had strength comparable to a professional player, but they might not be willing to walk the path of a professional player.
This was because behind the glory and halo, becoming a professional esports player was too difficult.
You had to put in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Every day, you had to train with high intensity and accept the strict control of the club.
More importantly, the competition in the professional arena was cruel. It wasn't something that the average person could handle. It wasn't even possible to get rewarded just by putting in effort. Many top notch players went to play in the professional scene and faded into the crowd. They would sit on the bench and watch the water cooler. Their strength would be amazing among normal players, but it was nothing in the professional scene.
Only the geniuses among geniuses and the strongest among the strong could carve a bloody path out of this circle.
So compared to that, it was better to be a normal expert player and bring girls to bully noobs. Or, he might as well start a live stream. Who knows, he might even live a better life.
At this moment, Chen Ting asked Lin Feng this question in a tactful manner.
But Lin Feng didn't seem moved. In fact, he even had a confident smile on his face.
"Oh, about that …"
"Before the solo just now, I was actually worried about this."
But after the match, there's no need to worry about it anymore. "
Chen Ting raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
Lin Feng rubbed his nose.
"Over the past six months, you haven't neglected your personal training, have you?"
It seemed to be a casual question, but it carried an incomparably firm judgment.
Chen Ting nodded without batting an eyelid.
"So?"
Lin Feng looked at Chen Ting and smiled.
"If you just want to be a normal expert player, there's no need to have such high expectations of yourself.
"But if what you want to pursue is to continuously become stronger —"
"Then there's no other place more suitable for you than the professional arena."
