The audience below the stage was full of applause and cheers, especially from the Zhejiang University eSports Club. They were clapping and cheering with all their might. [No Pop-Up Window]
The applause was naturally for the Zhejiang University team.
As the original mid laner of the Zhejiang University team, Zou Cheng was beaming with joy among the members of the eSports Club.
"What did I say just now?"
"With Senior Shi, our Zhejiang University is invincible!"
"No matter how powerful the dark horse is, it's useless against a team of high school students!"
Such words were met with even more excitement and enthusiastic cheers from the surrounding students of the Zhejiang University eSports Club.
Their Zhejiang University team was really strong this year!
Originally, they had Sun Ruinian, who was the captain of the ad-carry team. They were originally aiming for the National University League Championship. Now, with the addition of the former top professional mid laner of the national server, Senior Shi Hang, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
This year's National Championship would definitely belong to them!
In the players' seats in the front row of the audience, the players of the various university teams were also silent.
Naturally, they could tell that the strength that the representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association had displayed in the previous two matches was already amazing and admirable. However, today's team of Zhejiang University was indeed stronger.
They were so strong that it made people look up to them and sigh.
The same thought flashed through the minds of many players of the university teams:
Perhaps, this year's National Championship would really belong to Zhejiang University.
But …
It was a pity for the representative team of the Shanghai Esports Association.
…
At the backstage of the competition venue, Chu Fangnan had a complicated expression on his face.
He had also stood backstage and watched the two matches from beginning to end.
However, the situation in front of him was something he had not expected at the beginning.
He knew the strength of the Zhejiang University team. He also knew that Shi Hang, who had already been famous in the professional esports circle in the S1 season, would make the Zhejiang University team even stronger.
Even so, he was still optimistic about the performance of the representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association.
He had originally thought that this would be a situation where two strong teams fought for supremacy. However, he did not expect that in just over an hour, the Zhejiang University team had already taken the lead with a score of 2 to 0 and directly pushed the representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association into a desperate situation.
At this moment, Chu Fangnan could not help but feel a little regret.
He himself …
Wasn't it a little too rash?
The current representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association, including Lin Feng, had not reached the level where they could compete head-on with an opponent of this level.
When he had told Shi Hang about Lin Feng, he had hoped to use Shi Hang's appearance to give Lin Feng more pressure and motivation, so that Lin Feng's potential could be stimulated and he could quickly recover to his peak state in the past.
But now …
The situation was already somewhat out of his control.
If the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's representative team was defeated by Zhejiang University by a score of 3: 0, then such a heavy blow might even cast a shadow over the hearts of Lin Feng and the other members of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's representative team.
This was definitely an outcome that Chu Fangnan did not wish to see.
But —
Chu Fangnan sighed in his heart.
At this point, even though he was the vice president of the Shanghai Esports Association and the person in charge of the East China region elimination tournament, he was powerless.
He could only be a bystander and silently watch the development of the situation and the competition.
Chu Fangnan still held on to the last glimmer of hope.
Perhaps …
Would there still be a miracle?
…
On the stage, in the arena of the Zhejiang University team.
At present, they had an absolute lead of 2: 0. Seeing that they were only one win away from advancing to the semifinals, several members of the team, including the captain Sun Ruinian, had a joyful expression on their faces.
They did not expect that today's match would go so smoothly!
"It's all thanks to Senior Shi!"
"That's right, that's right. Senior Shi was invincible in the mid to late game!"
"Tsk tsk, the merman on the other side is only a little fierce in the early game, but in the mid to late game, it's hard to do it alone. Haha —"
All kinds of comments were aimed at Shi Hang.
But at this time, Shi Hang was not laughing and chatting with his juniors. Instead, he frowned slightly, his eyes silently falling in the direction of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's representative team's arena not far away.
Today's match was purely for Lin Feng.
In fact, that Maple from back then did not disappoint him too much. After a few years, to be able to recover to this level so quickly and to be able to give him so much pressure in the mid lane was already quite praiseworthy.
But …
Shi Hang shook his head.
It's not enough.
The other members of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's representative team were not strong enough. Their performances in the top and bottom lane were just passable. A large part of the reason for their two losses was the poor performance of the top laner and adc. They were not as good as the players on Zhejiang University's side.
Correspondingly, Lin Feng's strength had not recovered enough. Otherwise, if Maple was at his peak, he would not be able to stop him in the mid lane. Then Maple would naturally be able to forcefully lead the rhythm of his teammates.
Of course, this kind of request was a little too harsh.
But in his heart, Shi Hang still did not think so.
The reason was simple.
Because the target of this request was that guy.
It was Maple.
Shi Hang subconsciously took a deep breath. The light in his eyes became sharp.
That name represented the most glorious and immortal legend in the professional esports circle back in the day.
He was even the heir to the team of "that" senior from the previous generation.
So this kind of request was not at all excessive.
If the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's representative team was eliminated because of his appearance in today's match, it would be a little regretful. But for himself, he would not regret such a decision.
(You are Maple.)
(You should have done more.)
(If it's only your current performance, if you can't win against me … against the current Zhejiang University.)
(Then I might as well lose here.)
(That legend from back then … This level is far from enough to return to the peak of professional esports!)
… …
After the second match, there was a 15-minute intermission.
The players of the two teams onstage didn't need to sit in the Arena all the time. They could go backstage to rest and adjust their condition before going on to the third match.
The five players from the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's representative team had already arrived below the stage.
The atmosphere below the stage was slightly quiet and silent.
Losing two matches in a row had indeed caused the hearts of the members of the team to inevitably become heavy and oppressive.
Lin Feng was standing alone not far away from the stage. His head was slightly lowered as if he was thinking about something. He didn't say anything.
Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, and Zhang Hao stood a little further away. They were also silent.
The atmosphere was slowly becoming more and more pessimistic.
The road of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's representative team to the National University League seemed to have come to an end at this point.
An Xin raised her head. Her gaze fell on Lin Feng, who was not far away. She saw his tightly furrowed brows and a trace of unwillingness flash across his face. His fists were tightly clenched.
The girl thought for a moment, then slowly walked forward.
Lin Feng's heart was a mess.
He didn't blame his teammates, he only blamed himself.
Just like Shi Hang's opinion, he also thought that the two consecutive defeats were his own problem.
He should be stronger.
He was the core mid of the team. If he had the strength he had back then, even if his opponent was a strong player like Shi Hang, he would still be able to control the tempo.
But now, he could not do this.
In the second match, his Fishman had already done his best to control the tempo. The mid lane had been suppressing Shi Hang's mid EZ, but in the end, he was still unable to reverse the defeat.
If this did not work, then what should he do next?
For the first time since he decided to return to the professional esports scene, Lin Feng realized that he was facing a problem that he could not solve with his current strength.
It was also at this moment that a familiar and pleasant voice rang in his ears.
"You haven't lost yet."
"Haven't you?"
Her voice was as calm and tranquil as ever.
It was as if …
