Lin Feng wasn't the only one who was aware of the current situation. Countless Chinese players who were paying attention to cn Hook 2's solo fight tonight also had a clear understanding of the situation.
There wasn't enough time.
In other words, the situation had reached a critical stage.
Even Su Xue, who had always been terrible at math, effortlessly came to the same conclusion as she watched the livestream on her computer at home.
There was only a little more than an hour left before the Korean server's ranking system would clear to zero, and Lin Feng's cn hook2 Summoner account was still stuck at the sixth place on the Korean server's Champion's leaderboard.
If he wanted to move up a rank and enter the top five, winning one match wasn't going to be enough.
Next …
He had to win two more matches in a row to guarantee a spot in the top five.
However …
One hour.
Two matches in a row.
Guaranteed a clean sweep.
No matter how you looked at it, it was an incredibly difficult task.
For the vast number of local players, their biggest concern now was not only the issue of time, but also the physical and mental state of the god of cn _ hook2.
From 7 PM until the early hours of the next day, Hook 2 had already fought a total of fourteen solo matches.
There was almost no rest in between.
Such a high-intensity match would definitely put a huge strain on the body and mind.
For a moment, countless Chinese players couldn't help but feel worried and anxious.
Hook 2 God …
Can he still hold on?
…
"It's difficult."
Night Song, who was in the training base of Team God, gave his opinion on the situation quite straightforwardly.
"This is too much of a toll on a person's mental and physical strength."
"If it were me, I'd probably be dead by now."
On the side, Morning Star also nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with his teammate's point of view.
As professional players in service, they had all sorts of competitions and training on a daily basis, and the intensity of their training was equally high. But even with their battle-hardened professional-level state, if they were to fight 14 consecutive matches like "that senior" in the Korean server's Champion's Bracket, they would definitely start to find it hard to bear.
The more important problem was —
"Even if he can still take it and continue …"
"In terms of condition, it's hard to guarantee that he can continue to maintain his peak."
Night Song frowned.
It was impossible for a person to maintain perfect concentration all the time.
Even in the Pro League, the best a pro player could perform in was the first two or three matches. Once they reached the last two or three matches, the pro player's condition would inevitably begin to decline.
Furthermore …
Fourteen matches in a row?
"And he actually won a total of eleven of them —"
Morning Star couldn't help but sigh with sincere admiration in his tone.
If it were him, he wouldn't dare to say that he could achieve such a shocking winning rate. Even if he could do it, he would probably be on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion. It would be even more difficult for him to forcefully pull himself together and continue fighting.
…
"I won't."
Magic City, Shanghai, in the training base of Team Bright Light, which was also one of the eight strongest teams in the LPL, Shi Hang, who was sitting in front of the computer screen with Golden Shanshan and watching the live broadcast, gave his judgment with great certainty.
His tone was filled with confidence in someone.
"If it was anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on."
"But that guy …"
As he spoke, Shi Hang paused for a moment, and his eyes shone with undisguised admiration.
"That guy, Maple —"
"He'll get stronger the more he fights!"
As an old man who had walked through the earliest era of League of Legends, Shi Hang could be said to be incomparably familiar with Lin Feng's various deeds back then.
The most typical example was during the S1 World Finals. Lin Feng's team had represented China in the World Finals. They had to travel all the way to London, England to compete. Not only did they have to live in terrible conditions, but they also had to find opportunities to train every day.
At that time, the European and American teams had a contemptuous attitude towards China teams and were even unwilling to compete with Lin Feng's team. In the end, Lin Feng's team and the China Esports Association came up with a solution —
Go online.
Contact other professional teams and players in China at that time.
Conduct their internal confrontation training online.
There was a time difference of seven or eight hours between London, England and China, but at that time, in order to ensure the intensity of their training, Lin Feng and the others could almost practice from late at night in China to early in the morning in London.
Then they would wake up early the next day and continue training. They would rush to the competition venue and directly go on stage to play.
That experience was personally experienced by the veterans of the Chinese server, or at least they had heard of it.
That was true hardship.
Shi Hang had been one of Lin Feng's sparring partners back then, and he had a particularly deep impression of that.
At that time …
They had a total of three sparring teams in China.
Three shifts.
In the end, after a few days, they were so tired that they couldn't even keep their eyes open. Lin Feng's team, who hadn't rested from beginning to end, had been fighting so hard that they could barely keep their eyes open. One could imagine how tiring it was for Lin Feng's team.
But even under such intense training, Lin Feng's condition didn't decline in the slightest.
In fact, the more he fought, the stronger he became.
On the last day of the tournament against the European team in the semifinals, Lin Feng forcibly took down Phoenix, who was currently ranked third among the Four Emperors.
Compared to back in the day, fourteen matches in a row were nothing.
So Shi Hang wasn't worried about Lin Feng's condition at all.
What really made him wary and worried now was …
Lin Feng's possible next opponent.
Yes.
He had already noticed on the forums that when Lin Feng's fourteenth solo match ended, Fate's ace mid laner, Moon, logged on and was already preparing to start ranking.
One of the Four Emperors, Moon.
Shi Hang couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Even if Moon was ranked last among the Four Emperors, this opponent … would definitely be Lin Feng's biggest obstacle in the next two matches.
No matter how much confidence he had in Lin Feng's strength and condition, if his opponent was Moon, the situation wouldn't be optimistic at all.
Odds of winning …
Incomparably slim!
…
On the various forums of the League of Legends, the players of the local server quickly learned of this terrible news.
It was enough to make one's heart sink to the bottom.
This is bad.
Even the "Moon" Moon is online?
It was neither too early nor too late. It just so happened that he chose to log in at such a crucial time.
He was second only to the world's number one mid laner on the Korean server!
If the guru cn hook2 really went up against the "Moon Empress" in the upcoming qualifiers …
Life or death!
At the same time, in a hotel in Beijing's Chaoyang District, An Xin was sitting next to Lin Feng in a room. She was looking at the posts on the forums.
"I think Fate's Moon is online."
When Lin Feng heard this, he stopped moving.
Then he nodded slowly.
"Mhm, got it."
Said Lin Feng calmly. His facial expression was as calm as before. It was as if such terrible news couldn't affect his state of mind at all.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng moved his mouse and started his next match.
The fifteenth match began.
Lin Feng glanced at the IDs of the random players on the other side, but he didn't see any of them.
Then, there would be no suspense in this ranking round.
Twenty-six minutes later, the match ended.
Victory was secured.
Five wins in a row!
At this moment, cn hook2's win point was infinitely close to the fifth place on the Korean server's Champion Bracket leaderboard.
Only …
Last match!
