Looking at Crow's explanation on the other end of the chat window, J was silent for a moment, and then typed a reply:
"Got it."
Indeed, as existences of the previous generation, although their reputation was not inferior to that of the so-called Four Kings of E-Sports, that was in the past, after all.
However, since they were unwilling to return, they indeed needed to make the most adequate preparations before they truly reappeared in front of the world.
For example, a large part of the purpose of this Nightingale secret battle was to collect information and information on the top professional players of the new generation. So far, this task had been completed satisfactorily.
"You've collected all the video recordings, right?"
J typed a question to crow.
Crow nodded and replied:
"All the matches of the Nightingale secret battle in the past three days have been recorded."
J seemed a little regretful: "It's a pity that the kid surnamed Han from SSK and their jungler MAFA didn't play many times, otherwise the information would be more complete."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Crow seemed to smile:
"As for the information on SSK, we can find a bunch of match recordings from their OGN League. It doesn't matter whether they participated in the Nightingale secret battle or not."
Looking at Crow's casual explanation, J nodded, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, and frowned slightly:
"Then, there's still that Lin."
"Can't we find out his identity and background for the time being?"
For J, among the few people who had left the deepest impression on him in this Nightingale secret battle, Lin, who was said to have been invited into the group by "Nian Thirteen", was undoubtedly the one he cared about the most.
Crow calmly replied:
"I can't find anything yet."
"But —"
After a pause, Crow's next words were enough to shock even J.
"I have a rough idea about Lin's identity and background."
J was slightly moved: "Who is he?"
Crow seemed to be silent for a moment, and then slowly said:
"I won't say it before I confirm it."
J couldn't help but frown at his companion's secretive manner, "Is he a threat to us?"
Crow pondered for a moment and replied: "Regardless of his identity and background, it seems that his strength and performance are temporarily not comparable to the so-called Four Kings of this generation."
J's expression relaxed slightly. "That's good."
That was the end of their conversation. After J closed the chat window, inside a dimly lit room on the other side of the chat window, Crow was sitting in front of a computer. He was reading through the chat log and was deep in thought.
The room was dimly lit.
The flickering light from the computer screen shone on the side of Crow's face, but it only cast a blurry shadow on Crow's face.
Under the flickering light, Crow's gaze appeared deep and cold.
Han Shihao.
And that Lin.
The former was Li Daozai's successor.
The latter …
That near-perfect hero pool and the ease with which he could adapt from mid to top solo jungler to ADC support made him think of someone else.
This new era was indeed not as simple as he had expected.
But in reality, for him, who had almost stood at the top of the pyramid back then, these so-called Yonkō (Four Emperors) were nothing more than juniors. As long as he thoroughly studied the information of these people bit by bit, when he, J, and a few other old fellows from back then truly showed themselves again, they would still be able to defeat these juniors even if they were unprepared.
The experiences of the previous generation, coupled with the patience he had accumulated over the past few years, had made him understand one thing —
Usually, the outcome of a match would be decided outside the arena.
His own strength was not inferior to anyone standing at the top of the pyramid, but what he relied on to reach the top in the future was still intelligence, data, and tactics.
So now, he and J were doing exactly this, and the results so far were very satisfactory.
But …
There was one more thing.
As if he had thought of something, Crow's gaze became deeper. There was a trace of complex and awe-inspiring vigilance in the depths of his pupils.
To be precise, there was one more person.
Moving the mouse, Crow clicked on the Dark Battle 6 member management group on MSN. Crow's eyes fell on a certain ID name in the group member list. The flickering light shone on his slightly pale and cold face, but his expression was still unclear under the shadow:
There was one more person …
He had been trying to find out his background and identity, but never found the slightest opportunity.
…
Korea, Seoul, SSK's club training base.
After the Dark Battle's overall ranking was announced, a group of SSK players were also discussing this topic.
The other members of the team, including the coach, did not care that their team's captain, Han Shihao, and jungler, MAFA did not occupy a good enough position on the ranking.
Because they all knew that if Han Shihao and MAFA really wanted to compete for the rankings, they would at least occupy a spot in the top five.
Just like the overall ranking before his eyes …
They were just there to watch the show.
It did not prove anything.
At this time, Han Shihao was still sitting in front of his computer screen. His gaze swept across the ranking chart of the Dark Battle overall ranking. His face was so calm that it was impossible to read his expression. Mafa walked up to him and looked at the chart on the computer screen.
"Still looking at this?"
"Are you thinking about J?"
Han Shihao shook his head in response to his teammate's question. He calmly replied:
"I'm looking at the rankings of the admins in this Dark Battle group."
Mafa nodded in understanding.
"I'm talking about Autumn, Seven, Orian, and the others. Two days ago, they were quite busy as administrators, so they probably didn't spend too much time on this. But looking at the leaderboards, their results aren't bad —"
"All four admins are in the top ten of the ranking."
Indeed, these were all things that could be seen at a glance on the Dark Battle ranking.
But Han Shihao still shook his head and corrected him:
"There are two more admins."
It was Mafa's turn to be slightly surprised: "There are two more?"
He did not participate much in this Nightingale Dark Battle, so he did not particularly understand the situation. If Han Shihao did not mention it, he would not even know that there were a total of six admins in the Dark Battle MSN chat group.
But now that he mentioned it …
What about the remaining two?
Han Shihao moved his mouse and scrolled down the member list of the Dark Battle MSN chat group:
"One is Crow."
"The other is Axe."
Mafa frowned: "I've never heard of him."
Han Shihao nodded.
Indeed, these two admins seemed to be the most mysterious. He had never heard of the former "Crow", but the latter "Axe" …
Han Shihao's pupils seemed to subconsciously shrink for a moment.
Back then …
A long, long time ago, at the beginning of the S3 season, he participated in that Nightingale Dark Battle.
At that time, he met Axe several times in the Dark Battle.
Specifically, there were a total of five matches.
Five Mid Duels.
The result was two wins and three losses.
