Lin Feng went out to have a "New Year's Eve dinner" with Shi Hang and Tian Tian. It was the last gathering before the new year.
This year, Shi Hang, whose hometown was also in Hangzhou, did not stay at the club's training base. Naturally, he chose to take the high-speed train home to accompany his family.
Tian Tian's hometown was in the northeast, which was very far from Shanghai. He would not be going back this year. Originally, Lin Feng had been thinking of bringing Fatty over to spend New Year's Eve with him. However, the boss of King Battle Team had also decided to hold a New Year's Eve celebration. As the ace of King Battle Team, Tian Tian could not leave, so he could only eat New Year's Eve dinner with his teammates.
The two of them would not have time to see each other, so they decided to have a gathering with a few old friends two days in advance.
The atmosphere during the meal was very relaxed and casual. The three of them were old friends who had known each other since the S1 season. They were even teammates in the same team, so there was no need to talk nonsense at the dinner table. They ate and chatted. If there was nothing to talk about, there was no need to find topics to warm up the atmosphere.
However, there was no awkward silence between the three of them.
Just the situation of the new LPL season, the changes in the new patch, and even the new mode of unlimited firepower and clone image were enough to make the three of them talk excitedly.
"Hey, do you guys think it would be more interesting if the competition also became unlimited firepower in the future?"
Lin Feng's interest was piqued, and he suddenly had this thought.
Shi Hang rolled his eyes.
"Interesting my ass. If they really fight, everyone will cry."
"You're just a random rookie. You were the one who beat him up. Now, you've randomly picked a fan to come out and mindlessly swing it to kill a Temptress. Don't you feel bad?"
"Definitely f * cking bad!"
Tian Tian hesitated for a long time as he looked at a piece of braised pork on the table. In the end, he made up his mind to pick it up with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl. When he heard Shi Hang's evaluation, he raised his head and expressed his opinion.
"It should be okay, right?"
"Heroes like Temptress can also do unlimited poke when they have unlimited firepower."
Shi Hang shook his head.
"It's meaningless."
"You, Temptress, have always been a technical-type hero. Even if you're given unlimited firepower, there's nothing you can do. That's all you can do."
"But other heroes like the Fan Mother will explode in the Infinite Firepower mode!"
"Anyway, heroes like Raven and Enchantress aren't considered strong at all when it comes to unlimited firepower. Weird and abnormal heroes are popping up one after another!"
"If the Pro League becomes a limitless firepower mode, then all the regions in the world will change! The pro players are all dumbfounded! "
"Hey, Maple, am I right?"
Shi Hang turned his head and looked for Lin Feng to ask for his opinion.
Lin Feng, who was already focused on eating, raised his head. He had a puzzled expression on his face.
"Ah, what do you mean?"
Shi Hang almost fainted from anger.
"F * ck, you're the one who started this topic. How did you forget it so quickly?"
…
The three of them were just chatting casually. There was no need for them to harp on one thing and argue about it.
Therefore, after a brief discussion about the new Unlimited Firepower and Clone Image Mode, Lin Feng and the other two quickly changed the topic of conversation.
As he spoke, he naturally began to talk about his plans and outlook for the coming year.
Shi Hang didn't hide his ambition at all. He downed an entire glass of beer in one go and slammed the empty glass on the table.
"S6, I want to fight my way into the S-League!"
On the other hand, Tian Tian touched his head and honestly gave his own opinion.
"I didn't think too much about it …"
"Anyway, I hope we can do well in every competition in the coming year."
Shi Hang curled his lips. "Round God, you're being too conservative. That's not aggressive enough! You guys made it to the semifinals last year. This year, you should at least make it to the finals, right? "
Then, as if thinking of something, Shi Hang slapped his forehead.
"Oh, right!
"This year's MSI mid-season competition will be held in Shanghai, right?"
"Round God, your KG is in good form this year. He's likely to replace Team God and represent us in the LPL!"
The MSI mid-season competition was an international competition that Fist Gaming had added since the start of the S5 season. It was held in May every year and invited the champions of all the major regions in the world, plus a wild card team, for a total of six teams to compete for the MSI championship.
Last year, God- Hand of God represented the national server in the LPL division.
But this year, it was hard to say.
"I think Team God's performance this year is pretty mediocre."
Lin Feng had also finished eating, so he wiped his mouth and began to comment on the game.
"Fatty and the others might have a chance."
Shi Hang added.
"It's not enough to be invited to MSI. If they really get in, they have to aim for the championship trophy!"
"Oh, right, in the Korean OGN region … If there are no surprises, SSK should be the champion this year, right?"
"Round God, it's time for your KG to get revenge!"
As he spoke, Shi Hang patted Tian Tian's shoulder hard.
Tian Tian's lips trembled slightly, and he quickly shook his head vigorously.
"It's too difficult.
"SSK is too strong."
"Even if we had another chance, we wouldn't be able to beat SSK."
It sounded like a blow to their morale, but in fact, after the S5 World Championship had ended, Team King had already done a video review and analysis of the previous finals.
In the end, they came to a heavy conclusion: SSK was too strong.
So strong that they were almost unbeatable.
Every season, there would be a team that was so strong that it was almost invulnerable. No matter how strong the other teams were, when faced with a team that was in peak condition, they could only end up losing.
From the start of Season 4 to Season 5, SSK had always been at their peak.
If they could maintain this form until S6, then even in the following year, the entire world of professional esports would be shrouded in the shadow of SSK's dominance.
Shi Hang wasn't satisfied.
"Round God, your words hurt our morale."
"So what if they're SSK? They can't be invincible forever."
"Someone's bound to beat them once."
"Am I right, Maple?"
This time, Lin Feng also nodded. His expression became much more serious.
"Mhm."
Because this was the goal he was striving for.
Back in the S1 season, he and F had fought against each other in the finals. He was defeated by one round and sent the other party to the altar.
Then, in the future, he would personally pull the guy who was now revered as the leader of the Four Emperors down from the altar.
But —
Lin Feng tilted his head.
MSI?
It should be in early May. It was already February, so it wasn't too long.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered.
(If this season is held in Shanghai …)
(Team SSK and that guy are coming to Shanghai.)
