They won.
On the stage, Ceng Rui looked at the "Victory" emblem on the computer screen in front of him and let out a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
They had fought a full five rounds of best-of-five.
From the beginning to the end, he had gone all out and exhausted all of his mental and physical strength. Facing a strong opponent like the Zhejiang University team, after a few hours of bitter battle, it could be said that his mental and physical exhaustion was not small.
Moreover, it was a psychological test.
It was too close.
Only now did Ceng Rui realize that his back was drenched in sweat.
It was cold sweat.
Even in the previous last match, they still couldn't see a clear hope of victory when the match had reached 20 minutes.
But at least they had won.
Ceng Rui's mood became a little more relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile.
No matter what, this victory was the best reward for all their hard work.
Let two chase three.
Even he himself, who had lost the first two matches in a row, did not expect them to be able to win three matches in a row in the end.
However, the biggest contributor to this success was not himself, who was the assistant.
Ceng Rui subconsciously looked to his side. He saw a certain someone and a girl. He couldn't help but sigh with mixed emotions.
Indeed, indeed …
In the next three matches, the rhythm was brought up by these two.
"Hahahaha, I'm too good!"
Lin Feng's face was beaming with joy.
"I told you, just leave the middle lane to me! I'll carry you guys! "
Ceng Rui was speechless. He took a deep breath and decided to change his opinion with an expressionless face.
Good thing they had Steamed Bun.
If they had to rely on a certain someone … they would have long since exploded.
… …
"But then again, Steamed Bun's lead in the middle lane was pretty good."
After praising himself, Lin Feng also praised An Xin's blind jungler, which was a rare sight.
An Xin replied with a smile, "Yeah? Compared to the few times you were beaten in the tower, it's still a little worse. "
Lin Feng choked on his words, then laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, it's nothing!
"It doesn't matter!
"Anyway, we've won. I bet Old Shi on the other side is going to be pissed to death hahaha!"
Lin Feng stopped laughing and looked at An Xin seriously.
"Steamed Bun, thanks."
Hearing such words of thanks, the young girl's beautiful eyes slightly curved like water. She replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"Idiot, if it were me, would you even need to thank me?"
"But speaking of which, you seem to owe me a lot of favors ~"
Lin Feng was confused. "Huh? Really? "
An Xin raised her eyebrows. "That's why you don't want to admit that you have a bad memory. By the way, there will be a chance to return the favor later. Remember to speak up for me —"
"Wait a bit?" Lin Feng was confused.
…
It turned out that An Xin was right.
After the competition ended, the representatives of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association walked off the stage. Not long after, they were greeted by an uninvited guest.
"Hey hey, Steamed Bun, you really didn't give me any face in the last round — —"
"With one big move, he directly destroyed our Zhejiang University's hopes of advancing to the next round."
The person grumbling was none other than Shi Hang.
As a professional player in the S1 season, Shi Hang was no stranger to An Xin. Now that he had taken the initiative to visit her, the first thing he did was greet the girl.
An Xin replied with a smile, "It's a competition.
"It's a competition, so of course it's like that."
And our opponent is such a strong team. If we don't give it our all, we'll be the ones eliminated. "
An Xin paused and tilted her head to look at a certain someone behind her.
"Lin Feng, right?"
Lin Feng, who remembered that he had to return the favor, nodded righteously.
"Yes, yes! That's how it is! "
Shi Hang sighed helplessly. "Sigh, we're really unlucky. Why did our Zhejiang University have to go against you in the quarterfinals? And it just so happens to be the round that decides who will advance to the next round. Our luck sucks."
An Xin smiled. "But if it wasn't for that, you wouldn't have come out, right?"
Shi Hang couldn't help but pause at her question. Then the legendary founder of Zhejiang University's eSports Association couldn't help but scratch his head and laugh.
"Hahaha, that's true."
"Steamed Bun, you're still the same. I can't beat you in an argument."
In the next moment, Shi Hang stopped smiling and looked at Lin Feng. He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You're back?"
Lin Feng rubbed his nose and chuckled. "Oh, yeah, I'm back."
The conversation between the two seemed to have been filled with an indescribable tacit understanding from the very first sentence.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but stare blankly at their conversation.
He subconsciously asked, "You guys … really know each other?"
Ceng Rui didn't say anything. He had been scrutinizing Shi Hang ever since he walked over.
Shi Hang was stunned by Zhang Hao's question, so he asked back, "What's wrong with you?
He asked, "You guys don't know?"
Zhang Hao was confused. Ceng Rui looked at Lin Feng, then at An Xin, then shook his head.
Shi Hang's expression turned strange. He looked at Lin Feng.
"Hey, hey, hey. Don't tell me they don't know who Maple is?"
… …
Hearing Shi Hang's question, Lin Feng scratched his head awkwardly. "Oh, right. I haven't told Little Zeng yet."
Ceng Rui's attention and mind were completely drawn to Shi Hang's words.
In fact, he had already been very suspicious about Lin Feng's "background" since a while ago.
Especially in his opinion, with An Xin's personality, there was absolutely no reason for her to trust Lin Feng's strength unconditionally. It was even more impossible for her to casually say that no one in the mid lane was a match for Lin Feng in the National High School League.
Any kind of confidence and trust had to be based on the premise of a fact.
Ceng Rui's suspicions reached their peak when Lin Feng casually said that Shi Hang had been defeated by him in the past.
The words "defeated opponent" couldn't be used casually.
Of course, it could only be that Lin Feng had defeated the founder of Zhejiang University's eSports Association in some previous competition.
But under what circumstances could that have been?
Was it a random game?
Ceng Rui immediately rejected this conjecture. Looking at the close relationship between Lin Feng and Shi Hang, it was impossible for them to have met in a random game online. Moreover, if it was just an ordinary game, winning or losing wouldn't matter at all.
Then …
It could only be an official competition.
But according to the information Ceng Rui had gathered, Shi Hang hadn't participated in any official eSports competitions in the past few years. He didn't even appear in the National High School League a few years ago. The most recent one was the national professional league at the beginning of the S2 season.
So this was what troubled Ceng Rui the most.
At that time, Lin Feng was at most in high school, or even in the third year of middle school. How could he have participated in a professional league? How could he have been a professional player?
At this moment, with Shi Hang's words, it was as if a crack in the truth had been suddenly revealed.
maple。
Ceng Rui keenly grasped this most crucial word.
He frowned, but his mind was trying to recall and search for information related to this ID.
Maple, Maple, Maple …
Ceng Rui scanned through the names of various professional players and even famous streamers in the national eSports circle in the past two years, but he found nothing.
Just when he was about to give up, a bright light suddenly flashed across his mind.
In his memory …
A piece of information that he had only briefly skimmed through on an online forum suddenly popped up in Ceng Rui's mind.
maple。
S1 season.
That's right!
In an instant, Ceng Rui, who was able to forcefully maintain his calm in the face of the most difficult competition, finally had a sudden change in expression!
Ceng Rui's eyes flashed with disbelief as he looked at Lin Feng. He couldn't help but cry out:
"You are … Maple!?"
"That Maple!?"
