[One Second Remember Literature Building], providing you with exciting novels to read. Lin Feng didn't even bother with the leftovers on the table. He moved a chair over to Su Xue's side and leaned over to look at Su Xue's phone. Su Xue pulled out her phone and opened up a Fist website.
"Hey, don't you have your own phone? Why don't you just open it yourself?" Su Xue sighed.
"That's too much trouble. I'm not happy." Lin Feng moved his head closer to Su Xue's. "Can you move your phone closer? I can't read it —"
"You're so lazy!" Su Xue ruffled Lin Feng's hair in annoyance, but she still did as she was told and moved her phone closer to Lin Feng's side.
A tree diagram of the groups for this year's S5 World Championship was displayed in front of Lin Feng's eyes.
The three representative teams that had qualified for the LPL were in Group A, Group B, and Group D.
Group A consisted of the "All Chinese Class" KG Team. Other than the wild card team, the other two teams in the same group were Europe's Legend Team and North America's Flash Team.
The opponents of God- Hand of God in Group B were more difficult to deal with. Not only did they meet their old Korean rival, Fate, but also the remaining European and North American teams. They were not weak teams either.
Group D had Dust's worst luck. Two of their opponents were from the Korean OGN League, and one of them was last season's world champion, SSK.
"If that's the case, Dust's going to face the most pressure in the group stages."
Su Xue commented. She felt sorry for Dust's luck.
"Everyone on the internet is saying that the three teams from the Korean OGN League are the strongest. For Dust to face two of them in the group stages … How unlucky!"
Lin Feng nodded. "Oh … That's true."
… …
From the start of Season S4 to Season S5, Korea's OGN division had always been recognized as the strongest division in the world. In this season's S Series World Finals, the three Korean teams that made it out of the OGN division were recognized as the most fearsome opponents for the other teams.
There was a reason for this.
Let's not talk about the overall strength of the other teams and just look at the individual strength of the players —
The "World Seven Kings" and the "Four Kings of eSports" were the top eleven professional players in the world, and each of the three Korean teams had at least one of them. Team SSK even had an Emperor and a King, two of the best players in the world.
As for SSK, one of the Four Kings of Esports, he was the most powerful of them all.
“f”。
ssk-f。
Lin Feng's gaze fell on the SSK Team's insignia on the tree. He stared at it for a long time, his fists subconsciously clenched.
(That person …)
(One day, I will stand on the same stage and defeat him!)
…
Su Xue's nagging brought Lin Feng back to his senses.
"Sigh, it's not just Dust. God's team in Group B isn't that lucky either … Fate also has one of the Four Emperors, while God's Morning Star is only one of the Seven Kings … There's already a huge gap between them —"
Su Xue grumbled. She was especially interested in the Four Emperors and Seven Kings rankings.
Lin Feng scratched his head.
"Honestly, the gap isn't that big …"
Even though the Four Kings of eSports were said to be on a higher level than the Seven Kings, the strength and condition of a player had to be considered in a comprehensive manner.
So even if they were at the same level, there was no guarantee that one of the Seven Kings would lose against one of the Four Emperors.
A few months ago, in the S5 Mid-Season Invitational, Team God had defeated Korea's Fate in the fourth match of the best of five. Morning Star's mid laner Clockwork had suppressed Fate's captain, Moon's mid laner Mechanical Vanguard, in a fair and square match. His performance in the team battle had also been completely superior to Moon's.
That match was later dramatized by the Chinese players as the ultimate showdown between the "Star King" and the "Moon King".
However, the so-called Star Emperor's Morning Star was only one of the Seven Kings, while Moon, who was known as the "Moon Empress", was the true third of the Four Emperors.
After the Mid-Season Invitational, there was a saying that the Four Emperors weren't undefeatable, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese players.
Su Xue rubbed her chin. "I guess you're right …"
"Plus, Team God was able to defeat Fate in the best of five in the Mid-Season Invitational. That's a huge boost to their confidence. Now that they've met again in the group stages, it should be Fate who's feeling the pressure."
Su Xue looked Lin Feng up and down.
"Damn brat, you're speaking so logically. You seem to understand me very well."
Lin Feng chuckled and thumped his chest. "I'm pretty good at analysis too!"
Su Xue pursed her lips and placed her phone in front of Lin Feng. "Then tell me what's going on in Group A."
… …
"Group A?"
Lin Feng's eyes fell on the list of teams in Group A on the screen. He thought for a moment before giving his evaluation.
"Group A should be about as difficult as Group B."
Su Xue was taken aback. "Seriously? There aren't any strong teams in Group A, and there aren't any Korean teams. There are only two Western teams and a wild card team! "
Lin Feng shook his head and corrected her.
"The Western teams aren't weak either. They might not even be that much weaker than the Korean teams. Plus …"
Lin Feng paused for a moment, then added:
"Even if they're a wild card team, they can't be underestimated."
Very few players knew about League of Legends these days. Even though Korea ruled the professional scene, LoL hadn't taken off in both China and Korea back in the S1 Season.
Back then, it was the era of the Western teams.
League of Legends had yet to truly become a global sensation in the S1 World Finals. There were only eight teams participating in the finals, and six of them were European and American teams.
At the same time, there was only one team from China and one from Korea. It was similar in nature to the wild card teams of today.
While thinking, Lin Feng's mind started to wander.
The scenes of the past flashed through his mind like a lantern, evoking all the memories of the past.
Back then …
It had been tough.
But it had also been fun.
There were very few players playing League of Legends in the Chinese server at the time. At the time, they were the only representative team in the Chinese server and received the support and encouragement of all the League of Legends players in the Chinese server. Some players in Europe even bought plane tickets to watch the finals and cheer for them.
At that time, the scale of the S1 finals was very small. Even the venue for the preliminary round was only a small exhibition hall in a game exhibition in London, England.
At that time, the competition venue didn't have exciting lights flashing wildly, nor did it have a magnificent arena. There were only ten players from the two teams sitting side by side, almost as if they were playing against each other in an internet cafe.
However, it was also because of the small scale of the S1 finals back then that Lin Feng didn't meet the minimum age requirement of 16 years old. In the end, the organizers and the Esports Association gave in to Lin Feng's demands.
That was why he was able to stand on a stage filled with new dreams and compete against strong and interesting opponents.
Speaking of which, even to this day, Lin Feng still remembers the European and American teams that he played against.
In the semifinals of the S1 tournament, the European team they encountered gave them a huge amount of pressure in the BO5 match, and they were almost stopped in the semifinals.
Especially the captain of that European team's mid laner. Lin Feng could still clearly remember how thrilling it was to play all 5 matches against him.
Many people think that the season changes too quickly. Back then, the S1 World Championships were just child's play. The so-called best players back then weren't even worth mentioning.
But that wasn't the case.
Just the captain of the European team that caused Lin Feng to struggle in the semifinals of the S1 tournament was a name that resounded like thunder in Europe even in the current season of S5.
phoenix。
It meant "Phoenix".
The only Yonko in the European region.
