Maple's ID held a very important place in the hearts of many of the first batch of veterans in the Chinese Esports scene.
The number one mid laner of the S1 season.
The captain of the strongest team in the country.
He was the first player to lead a team into the S-Rank World League, defeat strong European and American teams, and even make it into the finals. He was even able to fight against the current leader of the Four Emperors, Han Shihao, for the entire set of 'best-of-5' matches.
A string of titles.
There was also a series of brilliant achievements that could dazzle people's eyes.
So even in this worrisome environment where the Chinese esports teams were repeatedly defeated in international competitions, there were still many veterans of the esports scene who couldn't help but think of Maple.
He was the number one mid laner who could create miracles.
It could be said that many veterans of the esports scene had high hopes for Lin Feng.
Therefore, when Chu Fang Nan, Fang Hao, Shi Hang, and the others heard the news that Lin Feng was preparing to return to the professional gaming circle, they were all excited, excited, and happy.
It was also because of this that Chu Fang was so shocked when Lin Songshi asked Lin Feng this question in front of the podium.
The applause and cheers from the audience were as loud as ever.
Lin Songshi didn't have a microphone or headset on, so his conversation with Lin Feng could only be heard by the nearby Shanghai Esports Association players.
Compared to the lively atmosphere in the competition venue, the atmosphere between Lin Songshi and Lin Feng on the stage suddenly became a little tense and depressing.
Lin Feng was silent.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and gave his answer.
"To make up for my regrets."
His tone was calm, but incomparably serious.
… …
Why did he come back?
Because he had regrets in the past, and now he wanted to come back to make up for them.
It seemed to be a very simple principle.
Regrets?
Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, Zhang Hao, and the others all understood. So did Chu Fang.
What was Maple's biggest regret when he was the best mid laner in the world back then?
Naturally, it could only be the 2: 3 defeat in the S1 World Finals, where they narrowly missed out on the World Championship Trophy.
Lin Songshi naturally understood as well.
The corners of Lin Songshi's mouth curled up slightly, but there was no trace of a smile on his face. It seemed like he was mocking Lin Feng.
"Are you confident?"
These words made Zhang Hao's eyes widen. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He didn't know much about the president of the China Esports Association in front of him. He only had a little basic respect for him, but these words really made him a little angry and unhappy.
How could the president of the China Telecommunications Association speak in such a manner?
For a God like Lin Feng to return to the professional esports scene, it should be something worth celebrating and encouraging. Who would pour cold water on him the moment they met?
Ceng Rui also frowned slightly. He also felt that Lin Song's words were a little harsh.
(But …)
(As the president of the China E-Sports Association, he has a respected position. It is not appropriate for him to speak in such an impolite tone with such an identity and position. It is completely ungentleman-)
(This President Lin shouldn't be so lacking in manners and self-restraint …)
Ceng Rui wasn't the only one who felt puzzled. Chu Fangnan's eyes also flickered. He was beginning to feel that there was something wrong with Lin Songshi's tone and tone.
As far as he knew, as the president of the China E-Sports Association, Lin Songshi had always been praised in the circle for his calm and composed image. There was no way he would speak in such an aggressive manner.
But the current situation …
Something was clearly wrong!
…
The conversation between the two continued.
When he heard Lin Songshi's aggressive questioning, Lin Feng shook his head seriously.
"I'm not confident."
These words seemed to be incomparably frank and straightforward.
But in the next moment, Lin Feng added in an even more serious tone.
"But I will definitely do it."
There was a kind of conviction in his tone.
The smile on Lin Songshi's face widened, but the blade in his words seemed to become sharper.
"Just because you've won the National University League Championship?"
Lin Feng looked at Lin Songshi.
"Of course not.
You just have to wait and see. "
The atmosphere between the two became a little hostile. If anyone else heard this conversation, they would never imagine that it was a conversation between a prizegiver and a recipient.
This was clearly …
There was an element of "spite" in it.
It was like a dispute between a strict elder and a junior who refused to admit defeat.
Chu Fangnan and the other members of the Shanghai E-Sports Association team were stunned and didn't dare to interrupt.
Lin Songshi narrowed his eyes and examined Lin Feng with a sharp gaze.
Lin Feng met Lin Songshi's gaze head-on without showing any weakness. There was a rare stubborn look on his face.
After a long while, Lin Songshi finally looked away and turned to the other members of the Shanghai E-Sports Association team. A gentle and polite smile appeared on his face again.
"I've seen your performance on the field today.
You played very well.
"This year's National Championship Trophy is well deserved."
Zhang Hao, Ceng Rui, and the other members of the China E-Sports Association couldn't help but feel flattered when they suddenly received such praise from Lin Songshi. They hurriedly expressed their gratitude and humility.
Then, Lin Songshi turned his gaze to An Xin, who was standing quietly next to him. The smile on his face was a little more intimate and natural.
"Steamed Bun, you played jungler in the last match. You were amazing!"
Anxin replied with a smile, "That's right.
"Not bad. You're too kind, Uncle Lin."
Her tone was just as friendly and intimate.
Ceng Rui, Zhang Hao, and Tang Bingyao were a little dazed. What's going on? Steamed Bun and Lin Songshi seem … familiar?
Lin Songshi looked at An Xin and smiled.
"I didn't expect you to come to the tournament too. You surprised me."
An Xin pursed her lips and smiled. "Yeah. Lin Feng dragged me along."
Lin Songshi looked at Lin Feng again. At this time, his expression became a little gentler.
"Do you have time to have dinner with me tonight?"
Zhang Hao, who was next to him, was dumbfounded.
Tang Bingyao couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.
Ceng Rui's eyelids twitched.
Even Chu Fangnan's face revealed an even more shocked expression.
The president of the China Esports Association was taking the initiative to invite Lin Feng to dinner?
President Lin Songshi was clearly questioning Lin Feng in an aggressive manner. How did the conversation suddenly change to this kind of rhythm?
It didn't make sense!
However, Lin Feng's eyes usually lit up when he heard the word "eat", but this time, it was a rare sight for him to reject it stiffly.
"It's fine.
I'm going to have hotpot with Steamed Bun and Chu Fangnan. "
Zhang Hao's heart was pounding as he listened. "Oh my god, Lin Feng is so awesome. He even rejected President Lin Songshi's invitation so bluntly?" Isn't this too much of a slap in the face to Lin Feng?
However, Lin Songshi seemed to have long since gotten used to Lin Feng's temper. He shook his head nonchalantly.
"Forget it then.
"Speaking of which, no matter what, I still have to congratulate you for winning this year's National University League."
Lin Feng nodded and replied without any sincerity in his reply.
"Thank you."
"Uncle."
The last two words were a form of address.
But for Chu Fangnan, Ceng Rui, Zhang Hao, and the others, these two words were like a clap of thunder, directly blasting all of them into a daze.
"Uncle?!"
