Ranking Competition
The World's Seven Kings and the Four Emperors of eSports. These eleven professional players represented the top eleven players in the world of eSports.
Just the Seven Kings alone were enough to be recognized as the strongest in their respective divisions. For example, Morning Star, Thought Thirteen, and North America's top laner, Seen.
Even Tian Tian, who was known as the uncrowned Eighth King, was also the strongest top laner in the Chinese eSports circle.
As for the Four Emperors …
In the eyes of countless League of Legends players, they were more like an unreachable legend.
Perhaps the symbolic significance was greater than the practical significance.
For ordinary League of Legends players, the existence of the Four Emperors might be more of an idol that they worshipped without thinking.
But only the professional players in the eSports circle would know the true meaning of the Four Emperors.
It wasn't just a symbolic meaning. In terms of strength, they firmly surpassed all the players, including the Seven Kings. They were the four people who could truly stand at the top of the pyramid of strength.
In a game like League of Legends, one couldn't rely on individual heroism to determine the outcome of a battle.
Even if it was the Four Emperors, it didn't mean that any team with a trump card of this level would be invincible.
Previously, many gaming media and industry analysts had also expressed similar views.
"The Four Emperors aren't invincible."
"Even the 'F' Han Shihao of the Four Emperors, SSK Team, isn't truly invincible."
"He can still be defeated."
These words weren't wrong.
But no pro player or pro team would lower their guard against a Yonkō level powerhouse because of this.
Indeed, the Four Emperors weren't invincible or invincible.
But if he wanted to defeat him ….
The difficulty was definitely not as easy as those so-called expert commentators made it out to be.
A team without the Four Emperors could still become a strong team in the world. But a team with the Four Emperors would always be the most cautious and fearful opponent.
The top players who could reach that level were existences that you would have to desperately suppress in a match, but the other party could still use all methods to forcefully and steadily develop.
It was almost impossible to suppress.
But if you didn't …
The consequences you will face will be even more regretful.
At the same time, any existence of the Yonkō possessed an almost incomprehensible miraculous and heaven-defying ability to turn the tables.
It was as if, as long as one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) was present, a team could still make a stunning comeback at any time, no matter how passive and disadvantageous the situation was.
N had done it, Phenix had done it, auun had done it, and so had F.
This was the reason why they were able to ascend to the top of the pyramid.
It was the true capital that allowed them to become the Yonko.
It was precisely because the Yonkō's evaluation was so strict and almost unattainable that after a few seasons, there were still only four people who could stand at the top of the world's professional esports pyramid.
Until …
Today.
Until Seen, who was publicly recognized as the world's number one top laner, opened his mouth with difficulty and said something that was enough to shock the entire professional esports circle.
Finally, someone was quietly climbing up the steps to the top of the pyramid.
This circle, which had been silent for a long time, might finally welcome a new Yonko.
This kind of news …
Even if it was only a 'possibility' or a 'guess', it was enough to make everyone's hearts tremble.
…
Shanghai, Shanghai, G Team Esports Club.
Although it was late at night, the training room of the club's training base was still brightly lit.
All the members of G Team's first and second team, including Morning Star and Snowy Nightsong, who had finished today's Nightingale dark battle match, were gathered in the training room, sitting around a long table.
An LCD TV was hung on one of the walls of the training room, and on the screen was the recording of tonight's Nightingale dark battle match.
To any pro team, this sort of high-level exchange was incomparably valuable information.
Many second-tier and even first-tier professional teams might not even be able to get their hands on these recordings. Only a club like Team G, which had two participating members in the Nightingale Dark Battle, would be able to obtain such a complete recording.
But at this moment …
The members of G Team, as well as the coach and the team leader, sitting around the long table, all had extremely solemn expressions on their faces. Everyone's eyes were filled with complex emotions and shock.
The leader of G Team, "Yan Tian", took a deep breath and looked at Morning Star.
"Ah Xing, what do you think?"
"That J who is ranked second on the list …"
"What's his strength level?"
Morning Star nodded, then seemed to ponder for a moment before he slowly said in a low voice,
"I can't say for sure."
"But if you want to make a comparison, J's overall strength might even be stronger than King's' Round God '."
The other team members at the table couldn't help but stir when they heard this.
They were very clear about the strength of King's top player, Tian Tian.
J, whose identity and origin were incomparably mysterious …
Could he be stronger than a Round God?
Yan Tian was silent for a moment, thinking back to the recording of J's match on the screen. He slowly nodded and said,
"You don't have to be so conservative."
"Make a bold guess. According to the strength evaluation index, what do you think J's score should be?"
Morning Star was silent. After a long while, he spat out a few words.
"89 points."
In an instant, the entire training room was in an uproar.
The team members couldn't help but look at Morning Star in disbelief. They couldn't believe what they had just heard —
89 points!?
Even Morning Star, as the only Seven King Level player in the national server, only had a strength evaluation index of 87.5 points!
Didn't that mean he was stronger than all the other Seven King Level players!?
Morning Star looked at his teammates who were in an uproar, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
89 points?
And this was only his conservative judgment.
Morning Star could not help but feel a little fearful when he recalled the previous match where he was placed in the same group as J. He had performed so perfectly that he could not find any flaws in his performance.
Maybe …
That was already beyond the Seven King Level.
It was an existence that could rival the Yonkō.
…
"He's definitely stronger than me, or even North America's Team G's Seen!"
In a phone call with Lin Feng, Tian Tian's voice was slightly trembling, but he was incomparably confident as he made this assertion.
The target of his evaluation was also the mysterious powerhouse that had shocked almost half of the professional esports circle tonight —
“j”。
This kind of words, coming from Tian Tian's mouth, was more convincing than most other professional players.
He himself was the world's top top laner, and he had also fought against Team G's Seven King Level top laner, Seen. He was very clear about his own and Seen's strength.
Lin Feng was also clear about this.
So he didn't doubt Tian Tian's firm and confident judgment.
But …
It was precisely because of this that this news was even more shocking.
"A new Yonkō."
Lin Feng murmured, his eyes drooping as if he was talking to himself.
"It's getting more and more interesting …"
His voice was slightly trembling.
It wasn't because of fear.
It was because of the astonishing and even shocking information that came one after another today. It made him tremble uncontrollably because of the boiling fighting spirit.
He couldn't wait any longer.
He didn't make it to the first day of the dark battle today.
But tomorrow …
No matter what, he had to fight his way into this battlefield. Just listening to and watching it was enough to make his blood boil!
Thinking about it now, the Korean team's ranking in the Kings Group didn't seem like much anymore.
This time's Nightingale dark battle ranking …
He had already made up his mind. He would accompany these top professional players and mysterious powerhouses and fight for it.
Regardless of success or failure.
Regardless of victory or defeat.
This battle, he would fight!
