Lin Feng's eyelids couldn't help but twitch as he listened to Senior No. 1's casual tone.
Sure enough.
Senior One really knows about J's background!
However, before Lin Feng could ask anything, Number One calmly replied, "What's wrong with you?
"Did you fight with that J?"
"How did it feel?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and chose his words carefully. He gave his answer in an extremely cautious and serious manner.
"Very strong."
"Super strong."
"He's definitely at the level of one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) in all aspects, especially his awareness. Whether it's roaming around to provide support or to join a team, he's definitely one of the best in the world. I think even Phoenix and Moon are a bit weaker than him."
If an ordinary player heard this kind of evaluation, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
A new Yonkō (Four Emperors) was already shocking enough.
But in terms of professional awareness and control of the rhythm of a battle, J was even stronger than Moon and Pheonix, the two veteran Yonkō (Four Emperors) who had experienced countless top professional competitions.
That was simply unimaginable!
In fact, it wasn't just ordinary League of Legends players. Even many professional players didn't know that among the Yonkō (Four Emperors), there was indeed a difference in awareness and control of the rhythm of the game.
Moon and Phoenix were slightly weaker.
On the other hand, Autumn and Han Shihao were even stronger.
There was a dividing line in the middle, which was the biggest reason for the difference in rankings between the top two Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the bottom two.
As a player who stood at the top of the world's professional gaming pyramid during the S1 season, Lin Feng could see the existence of this dividing line.
Based on his current evaluation of J, he had placed him on the same level as Han Shihao and Autumn.
Number One nodded slightly, seemingly appreciative of Lin Feng's words, but then he immediately asked:
"What else?"
What else?
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then finally gave his opinion:
"It's just that …"
"That J's reaction and hand speed should be slightly worse than his awareness and control of the rhythm."
"Otherwise, there's really nothing to nitpick about."
… …
When Lin Feng said this himself, he was still a little hesitant and uncertain.
But it was true that this was a feeling he had vaguely sensed during his fight with J today.
He was a pinnacle powerhouse who was comparable to Han Shihao and Autumn in terms of awareness and rhythm control, but his individual operating ability and hand speed couldn't keep up with his own awareness.
Of course, this was enough for him to become one of the Yonko.
However, it still made Lin Feng feel that it was a little bit incongruous.
It was as if …
J was supposed to be in a stronger state.
After listening to Lin Feng's opinion, the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. Then, Number One laughed again, and his tone was filled with undisguised admiration.
"Not bad."
"You have a good eye."
Number One paused for a moment, then casually threw out a heavy bomb that was enough to make Lin Feng dizzy and disoriented.
"That guy, when he was at his peak —"
"It is indeed stronger than it is now."
Lin Feng was stupefied.
Did he really hit the nail on the head?
If it was really as Senior No. 1 had said, when this J was at his peak … wouldn't his strength be on par with the current Han Shihao … or himself when he was also at his peak?
No … he might even be stronger?
Lin Feng began to think hard, but he still couldn't think of a strong player of this level in the world of professional esports. In the end, he shook his head in frustration.
"But, Senior, why have I never heard of this person?"
On the other end of the line, Number One smiled.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of him.
That guy is also an old man from the previous generation.
Speaking of which … he should be considered an old acquaintance of mine. "
Lin Feng was shocked.
An old acquaintance of Senior No. 1?
That's definitely one of the oldest players, probably even before League of Legends S1. He's also one of the most elite professional players from Dota or other MOBA-type eSports?
But that can't be right. If he had such strength, even in the past, he should have been a famous person. At the very least, Lin Feng should have heard of him …
However, Lin Feng's doubts were answered by Number One on the other end of the line in the next moment.
"Oh, but that guy was crushed by me and Li Daozai back then.
He lost too much, so he directly retired and disappeared from the scene. "
His tone was as casual as ever.
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. Then, his heart once again filled with endless admiration and respect for Senior No. 1 on the other side of the phone.
This kind of words …
Sure enough, only Senior No. 1 had the qualifications to say such a thing!
But it was true. In the past, the Chinese esports scene had Senior No. 1, and the Korean esports scene had "F" Li Daozai from the previous generation. As the king of the Korean esports scene, the two of them practically shrouded the entire era.
In that kind of situation …
Indeed, even a strong player of Joe's level could only be reduced to a supporting role.
However, at the moment, there was only one thing that Lin Feng was still puzzled about.
A strong player of the same generation as Senior No. 1 …
Why would he appear in League of Legends' Nightingale Dark Battle?
And he even came to compete for rankings?
Number One answered casually on the other end of the phone:
"Because I can't accept it."
"Back then, he was crushed so miserably by me and Li Daozai. At that time, he probably knew that even if he didn't retire, he wouldn't be able to beat us."
"Now that the old people of the previous generation have almost all left the scene, I guess his mind has become active again."
After a pause, Number One commented in a somewhat appreciative tone:
"But I didn't expect that guy to have such perseverance. He should've been maintaining the highest intensity of training for the past few years. His condition really hasn't fallen too much. It's a pity that he's getting older. His operating level and hand speed probably can't keep up with you young people."
Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh as he recalled his previous experience with Joe.
"But he's still very strong."
Number One laughed:
"Of course. Old people also have their strengths. His awareness and ability to control the rhythm of the battle, even you might not have been as good as him back in the day."
"Speaking of which, how's your condition recently?"
When asked this question, Lin Feng immediately replied:
"Well, after today's dark battle, I feel like I should've made another breakthrough."
Then he felt a little embarrassed:
"But if I want to return to my previous condition, I might still need some time."
Number One nodded and said: "That's good enough.
"This speed is fine. Just don't slack off."
Lin Feng nodded seriously:
"Okay."
At this point, the conversation on the phone was almost over. However, before hanging up, Number One suddenly asked, "What's wrong?
"Did that SSK kid not participate in the Nightingale Dark Battle these past two days?"
Lin Feng was a little surprised, but he nodded and answered truthfully:
"Yeah, probably not."
Then, Number One paused and thoughtfully said something that was somewhat thought-provoking.
"Tomorrow is the last day of the dark battle, right?"
"That kid surnamed Han …"
"He'll probably show up soon."
