The second match of the National University League's top 16, the afternoon of the first day, was between the Beijing Telecommunications Association and Chongqing University.
As the competition entered the quarter-finals stage, the Beijing Telecommunications Association's representative team finally sent out their core trump card lineup, displaying their true strength in front of everyone's eyes.
They went all out.
From the beginning of the first match to the end of the second match, including the five-minute break in between, it took less than an hour.
A large number of scores appeared on the LCD screen of the eSports spectator —
2 to 0.
The Beijing Telecommunications Association won two matches in a row.
Each match lasted less than twenty-five or twenty-six minutes, and they crushed their opponents with a crushing momentum to clinch victory.
The exclamations and praises of the audience in the stadium rose and fell one after another. The applause was like thunder, and every now and then, the entire stadium would boil with excitement.
The players of the various university teams in the front row couldn't help but be moved.
So …
Was this the true strength of the Beijing Telecommunications Association team?
"So, so strong —"
On the side of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team in the audience, Zhang Hao couldn't help but be dumbfounded. His mouth was wide open for a long time.
A solemn look flashed in Ceng Rui's eyes.
"Very strong indeed."
"After the rotation of the two core aces' mid and top laners, the overall strength of the Beijing Esports Association's team is almost a level stronger than when they played with their substitute lineup."
"Even compared to the Guangzhou Telecommunications Association team, they are not weak at all … No, maybe even stronger!"
Sitting on the side, An Xin nodded slightly and added with a light smile.
"Moreover, their ace mid laner doesn't seem to be any weaker than Glee."
Who was Glee?
The Guangzhou Telecommunications Association team had spent a lot of money to hire the top player on the Korean server.
He was a mid-laner whose strength had reached a terrifying A-rank.
If one didn't include the founder of Zhejiang University's team, Shi Hang, as well as the person sitting next to him who could be seen as a cheater who came to the novice village to bully noobs … With this level of strength, they wouldn't be considered weak even if they were in the professional league!
But at this moment, in the eyes of An Xin and Ceng Rui, the ace player of the Beijing Telecommunications Association team, Yu Ping, had the strength to be on par with Glee!
But this was indeed not an exaggeration.
In the two matches that had just ended, Yu Ping, the mid-laner of the Beijing Esports Association's representative team, played an Inferior Fishman and an Ice Bird. Both of them were amazing carries, and his KDA was the highest and most magnificent in the entire game.
From the line-ups to the team battles, all the details were flawless. It could be said to be perfect.
Compared to Glee, the core ace of the Beijing Esports Association team was only lacking the ruthlessness and aggressiveness of a hungry wolf. However, he was more decisive and tough, and he handled many details more calmly.
This kind of opponent was the type that caused the most headache and fear.
On the other hand, Lin Feng didn't seem to care much about this "Yu Ping".
"Oh, oh … It's alright."
Then, he excitedly changed the topic and gossiped with Ceng Rui.
"Ah, Ah Zeng, this support from the Beijing Esports Association is not bad either! I feel like he's about the same as you, but his support style is much fiercer than yours! "
"What's his name again? Zhang … something? "
Ceng Rui's eyelids twitched slightly, and then he replied expressionlessly,
"I don't know."
"I don't know him well."
…
Putting aside the unknown personal grudge between Ceng Rui and the support from the Beijing Esports Association team, the latter's support strength was indeed not inferior to Ceng Rui's, just as Lin Feng had said.
It was estimated that his evaluation index was close to or even reached the A- level.
As for the other official top laner from the Beijing Esports Association team, he was also replaced by a substitute. According to the evaluation of Ceng Rui and An Xin, his strength index was also around A-.
Another player who had crossed the minimum threshold to become a professional player.
"Nowadays … there are so many A- rating experts out there …"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but complain.
As the shortcoming of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's representative team, the pressure on him was the greatest. Previously, when he was fighting against the Guangzhou Telecommunications Association's representative team, he was already having a hard time in the top lane. If he had to fight against the Beijing Telecommunications Association's top laner, the pressure would probably only increase.
In fact, the comprehensive strength of the Beijing Esports Association team was indeed above the Guangzhou Esports Association team.
This was because this team could truly be said to have no shortcomings.
The top, middle, and bottom lanes were all able to hold their own, and their jungler was also not bad. Moreover, the playstyle of the Beijing Esports Association team was far more stable than that of the Guangzhou Esports Association team. Their tactics were also steady and sure. Watching this team, people couldn't help but praise it. This team was almost comparable to a second-tier professional team.
The more this kind of opponent was, the more difficult it was to deal with.
Even Chu Fangnan's expression was solemn as he added:
"The Beijing Esports Association team has two coaches, both of whom were specially selected from the Beijing Esports Association headquarters."
Another piece of bad news.
However, just as they were talking about the calm style of the Beijing Telecommunications Association team, when the third match began on the stage, something unexpected happened —
In the third match, the Beijing Esports Association team on the blue side sent out Wen Rui.
…
"Huh?!"
In the audience, the Shanghai Esports Association team's Zhang Hao was dumbfounded.
"Wen Rui!?"
Immediately, the eyes of the rest of the team subconsciously fell on a certain person.
Lin Feng rubbed his chin, finally a little interested.
"Copying me?"
"This single choice item is quite ambitious!"
Rather than "ambitious," it was better to say that it was a provocation and declaration of war.
In the morning, Lin Feng had just used Wen Rui to get a Pentakill. In the afternoon, Yu Ping from the Beijing Esports Association team had chosen the same Wen Rui as well. It was clear that he wanted to prove something with the same hero.
Not to mention the representatives of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association, the other audience members in the stadium were also keenly aware of the smell of gunpowder in the competition.
The audience was in an uproar.
In the third match, Yu Ping, representing the Beijing Esports Association, used his own strength to prove that his Rui Wen midlaner wasn't weak either.
Once online, kill an opponent's clockwork.
Domineering backline kills in team fights.
The last wave of quadruple kills also stunned the audience.
"Not bad."
In the audience, An Xin raised an eyebrow and gave this evaluation with a smile.
Lin Feng curled his lips. "It's just a quadruple kill. I'm a pentakill!"
Ceng Rui couldn't help but roll his eyes. This quadruple kill and quintuple kill. Is there a need to bicker like a child?
In the end, there was no suspense. The Beijing Esports Association team defeated Chongqing University team 3-0, clinching the last spot in the top eight.
With that, the four matches for the day came to an end.
When they left the stage, Lin Feng and the others from the Shanghai Esports Association team coincidentally ran into the Beijing Esports Association team.
The two teams didn't provoke or taunt each other too much, but the sparks of hostility in the air were undoubtedly sparks.
Zhang Hongyi smiled coldly at Ceng Rui. Ceng Rui remained expressionless and ignored Zhang Hongyi. Yu Ping was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled back at him in a resplendent way.
The two team leaders, Chu Fang Nan and Fan Yuan, the two vice presidents of the Shanghai Esports Association headquarters and old rivals, nodded at each other and greeted each other with a smile that didn't reach their eyes.
"President Fan."
"President Chu."
"Congratulations on advancing."
"Same to you."
Then the two had nothing else to say. They looked at each other again, let out a cold snort at the same time, then turned around and left.
When they returned to the Shanghai Esports Association team, Chu Fang Nan's first words to Lin Feng and the others were:
"If you run into the Beijing Esports Association team next.
"Beat them hard!"
When he said this, Great President Chu also used a rarely seen fierce tone.
