Since they lived close by, Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao decided to take the subway to Pudong's Feng Yun eSports Arena.
In the morning, it happened to be the morning rush hour. The commuters on the subway line were packed to the brim. In the carriages of Line 1, the passengers were either eating breakfast, playing mobile games or reading novels. At the same time, many people were looking at the door from time to time.
A man and a woman stood there.
The boy had a head of fluffy black hair and bangs that hung down his face, but it couldn't hide his handsome face and bright smile. Anyone who looked at him couldn't help but like him.
Beside the boy was a girl with a clean ponytail and a pure and moving temperament. Her height of nearly 1.7 meters made her look slender and slender, but her pink cartoon T-shirt made her look a little cute. When she was chatting with the boy next to her, she seemed to be talking about something interesting. The girl had a happy smile on her face that could almost make the hearts of many male office workers skip a beat when they saw it.
"You met SSK while eating crayfish yesterday?"
Tang Bingyao's eyes widened in surprise.
Lin Feng nodded.
"Yeah. What a coincidence."
Tang Bingyao was a little envious. "You're so lucky …"
At this moment, Tang Bingyao was still in the mindset of an ordinary League of Legends player. Team SSK was publicly recognized as the strongest team in the world, and every member of Team F and Team MAFA was a godly idol in the hearts of all players. Being able to meet them was definitely a rare and lucky thing.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, didn't think much of it.
"It's nothing. It's just SSK."
His words were overheard by a couple of League of Legends players nearby. They couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng's direction. This kid's tone sure is big. He doesn't even care about the SSK Team?!
Tsk, he's probably just trying to show off in front of a girl.
Tang Bingyao blinked her big eyes.
"I've never even seen Team F and Team MAFA in real life."
Her tone was filled with yearning.
Lin Feng patted his chest.
"There's nothing to see. Tang Tang, just look at me!"
The passengers nearby almost rolled their eyes at Lin Feng. He was bragging too much. How could he compare himself to top professionals like F and MAFA?
Tang Bingyao, on the other hand, looked at Lin Feng with sparkling eyes and nodded happily.
"Yes."
"Lin Feng isn't any worse than them."
This was indeed the truth.
Whether it was his true identity or strength, or his position in the hearts of the girls, he was not inferior to the members of the SSK team.
However, the passengers who were not far away were about to burst into tears as they listened. Their hearts were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
F * ck, what kind of luck did that brat have? How much virtue did he accumulate in his previous life?
Why couldn't they meet such a good girl?
…
Forty minutes later, Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao arrived at the Feng Yun Arena.
Once they entered the venue, it was already bustling with noise and excitement. The local Shanghai players who had come for the MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament were all in high spirits. They were already excitedly chatting with their companions as they queued up to enter the venue.
"Sigh, the group matches are starting today."
"I think they're split into groups A and B?"
"Yeah, yeah. Our Team God in the LPL is pretty lucky this time. They didn't get matched up against the Koreans."
"The first group matches are six to four, right? That means Team God's in the bag! "
"So what if they're the strongest team in the country? They should at least make it to the finals!"
Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao quickly lined up and entered the venue. However, the middle and back rows were already full. It would be difficult to find an empty seat.
But Lin Feng wasn't worried about that.
Lin Feng took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello? I'm here with Tang Tang! "
It didn't take long before Su Xue rushed over from the backstage. She had put a lot of effort into her appearance today. She wore a white chiffon shirt paired with a light yellow skirt and a pair of stilettos. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, making her look incomparably beautiful. Just the sight of her attracted the attention of countless onlookers.
Walking up to Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao, Su Xue handed over her work passes without any hesitation.
"Here, take them."
"Five in total. Will Steamed Bun, Ah Zeng, and the others be coming as well?"
"I don't have any more. Use these to find a seat in the front row. Don't run around. I'll come find you when I'm done."
Su Xue hurriedly turned around and went back to her preparations.
DouYu wasn't the only streaming platform present today. From now on, the live streamers of the various streaming platforms would be competing against each other.
… …
Not long after Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao found a seat in the front row, An Xin arrived.
"Steamed Bun, over here!"
Tang Bingyao waved at An Xin excitedly.
An Xin walked over to Lin Feng, took the work pass, and put it on. She tilted her head and swept her long, silky hair behind her shoulders. Then, she smiled sweetly at the two of them.
"You even have an employee ID?"
"This is a pretty good spot."
Tang Bingyao happily explained, "Big sis Xue helped us get DouYu's employee ID."
Lin Feng looked around. "Eh? Where's Ah Zeng? Why isn't he here yet? "
An Xin replied with a smile, "Ah Zeng is already here. He just texted me and said that he came today with his classmates from Shanghai High School's eSports Association. He has already found a seat in the back. By the way, it seems that Ah Rou and Ou Yang are also here. They should have entered the venue by now."
While talking, An Xin sat down next to Lin Feng.
At that moment, many people were looking at Lin Feng because he was sitting in the middle. On his left was Tang Bingyao and on his right was An Xin. It was a boy and two girls. Both girls were extremely beautiful. Many people couldn't help but envy them.
Lin Feng didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He picked up a copy of MSI's schedule and looked at it.
"First up is the opening ceremony."
"Then the matches are about to start."
Tang Bingyao poked her head over. "Oh, the first team is Group A?"
This year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament was divided into two stages, the group stage and the knockout stage. The six teams in the first group stage were divided into two groups, A and B, with three teams in each group. The top two teams in the group would advance to the knockout stage, followed by the semifinals and finals.
Group A had Team God from the LPL, Team Season from the North American LCS, and a team from the wild card region.
Group B had Team SSK from Korea, Team MLG from Europe, and Team Assassin from Taiwan.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
"The competition in Group B is a little more intense."
Indeed, the first stage of the group stage was to advance to the semifinals. Only one team would be eliminated from each group.
As for the wild card team in Group A, it was already destined to be eliminated.
Only in Group B, whether it was SSK, Assassin Guild, or MLG, they were all veteran teams that had made it to the S Series World Finals many times. It was difficult to say which team would be eliminated in the end.
Of course.
The only suspense was between Team MLG and Team Assassin.
In everyone's mind, one of the spots in Group B was already locked in by SSK.
