According to the rules of the Nightingale Dark Battle, the identities of the members would be kept secret, and their real identities would not be revealed.
The communication between members was carried out through a MSN chat group as a platform. The account used by each group member was also a sockpuppet ID. Other specific details such as the time of the dark battle were also announced by the administrator in this chat group.
Nian Thirteen was one of the administrators of this chat group.
According to the rules, new members of this MSN chat group must be recommended and invited by the elders in the group to enter.
Moreover, if you were a new member recommended by an ordinary member, you would need to pass some tests and certifications to make sure that you were strong enough to participate in this year's Nightingale Dark Battle.
However, several administrators in the group had a higher level of authority. The new members invited by the administrators did not need to be authenticated and could directly participate in the Nightingale Dark Battle.
"There are a total of 6 administrators in the group."
"Including me, two of the other five are too mysterious. I don't even know who they are."
"As for the other three, everyone should be able to roughly guess their identities."
Before adding Lin Feng into the group, Nian Thirteen was having a private chat with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng listened with rapt attention and asked:
"Who are those three?"
Nian Thirteen replied,
"An IP address has been found to be from North America. The main top-laner position should be the North American COG team's top-laner, Seven."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
seven。
Of course, he had an impression of this ID. Among the "World's Seven Kings", North America only occupied one spot. It was the COG team's top laner, Seven. He was also the only top laner in the world with seven Kings.
Of course, in Lin Feng's opinion, the publicly acknowledged top laner "Circle God" Tian Tian should be on par with Seven.
This Nightingale Dark Battle MSN group administrator …
Looks like they all have quite a background!
Lin Feng exclaimed in his heart. At the same time, Nian Thirteen continued to give him the information of the other two administrators.
"The second one, the IP address is from Korea."
"The main mid lane position."
"Moon from Fate?" Lin Feng guessed right away.
Indeed, according to the standard of the Seven Kings, "Moon Empress" Moon, one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), was definitely qualified to be the administrator of this MSN group.
However, Nian Shisan shook his head in denial.
"It's not Moon. It should be Orian from Warrior."
Lin Feng understood.
Orian, the mid laner from Korea's Warrior team, was not as good as Moon, who was at the same level as the Yonkō (Four Emperors). However, he was still one of the seven kings in the world. It was not surprising that he had administrative rights.
Speaking of which, not long ago, when Lin Feng was trying to climb the leaderboards in the Korean server's Challenger Group, he had a thrilling match with Orian in the mid lane.
This time …
Were they going to meet again?
…
At this time, Nian Thirteen had already sent an invitation to Lin Feng's MSN group. At the same time, he continued the topic.
"The last one left."
"Also from North America."
"I guess his identity background should be the biggest in this MSN group."
Lin Feng clicked on the MSN group invitation notification and asked:
"Who?"
Lin Feng had asked this question out of habit. Before he could even react, Nian Thirteen had already answered, "That's right, Lin Feng.
"Who else could it be?"
"The one ranked second among the Yonko."
As soon as the words came out.
Lin Feng's right hand, which was holding the mouse, couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
The second among the Yonko.
That could only be the strongest player in North America who was recognized as the world's number one support.
At the top of the pyramid of the professional esports circle, the person who was second only to F.
The support captain of the Season team.
autumn。
After a moment of silence, Lin Feng took a deep breath and moved the mouse to the left click to accept the invitation.
He joined the group.
…
As soon as he entered the group, Lin Feng quickly glanced at the situation in the MSN group. The list of members on the right side of the chat window showed that there were a total of 23 people. It wasn't a large number, but there was no doubt that each of them was definitely a top player in the world of professional esports.
A gathering of masters.
It was not an exaggeration to describe the composition of the members in this group.
Just the Seven Kings and Four Emperors alone, with a rough estimate, there were at least four or five of them, maybe even more.
While Lin Feng was silently calculating in his heart, the Nightingale Dark Battle MSN chat group also became a little lively because of his sudden addition to the group.
"Yoo ~ a new friend joined?"
"Welcome, welcome."
A group member with the English ID SSS was the first to send a greeting and welcome message in English. He seemed quite enthusiastic, but the ID name "3S" was not familiar. Naturally, it should be a sockpuppet.
At the same time, Nian Thirteen also introduced the situation to Lin Feng in a private message.
"This 3S's IP address is European, European, support bit."
"I can't guess his identity, but he has participated in the Nightingale Dark Battle twice. His support level is very good. I guess he is now a professional support player in the European LCS team."
Lin Feng nodded and replied to the message to show that he understood.
Right after the SSS member spoke, a few other members in the group popped up and sent messages.
Most of them were making a polite welcome.
After all, although most of the members in this group didn't know each other's real ID identity for the time being, they knew each other was a top player in the circle. They might even know each other in private, or they might have fought against each other as opponents in the arena.
Therefore, the members were very polite to each other and didn't put on airs.
…
Most of the members in the group were quite friendly. Lin Feng also replied with a smiley face in the group and a simple and polite greeting in English.
But then, a new message popped up in the chat group. It was rather glaring.
"Who invited Lin into the group?"
"Has he been authenticated?"
"Lin" was the ID Lin Feng used to register for his MSN account.
The person who sent the message was a member with the ID "Hammer".
Before Lin Feng could reply, Nian Thirteen took the initiative to send a message in the group.
"I invited Lin into the group."
"He doesn't need to authenticate."
The so-called authentication was what Nian Thirteen and Lin Feng had mentioned before. Ordinary group members needed to provide proof of identity to the administrator (of course, the administrator would keep it confidential), or if they chose to conceal their identity, they needed to show proof of their strength.
For example, they could show their own server's ranking data, or they could directly test it through a real battle.
Of course, as an administrator, Nian Thirteen could save them the trouble of inviting Lin Feng into the group.
Seeing Nian Thirteen's explanation, the other members in the group nodded in understanding. They knew who Nian Thirteen was. As an administrator, he naturally had this little privilege.
However, Hammer was the only one who didn't give up.
"Doesn't need authentication?"
“why？”
"Why does an administrator have this privilege?"
