"I'm guessing the champion of this year's MSI will be decided between SSK and Season."
After the first round of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament ended, Lin Feng, who was sitting at the dinner table, gave his evaluation of the tournament.
Everyone else at the table subconsciously nodded in agreement.
There were only six people at the dinner table.
Tang Bingyao had to go home early to have dinner with her grandmother. Su Xue had dinner with DouYu TV's staff to celebrate the success of the interview. Ceng Rui had left with his Shanghai High School's esports club, so the three of them weren't around tonight.
Apart from Lin Feng, there was also An Xin, Nian Thirteen, Tian Tian, Shi Hang, and Golden Shanzhan.
The first few were old teammates or old opponents that Lin Feng had known since the S1 season. As for the last one, Team Bright Light's jungler "Golden Flash", he shamelessly begged Shi Hang to bring him along to freeload a meal.
Golden Shanzhan knew Lin Feng's true identity a long time ago due to his close relationship with Shi Hang.
Tonight, he had come with the mentality of paying homage to the former number one midlaner on the national server. Previously, when he had seen Lin Feng, he had been incomparably solicitous and enthusiastic, desperately shaking hands with him. All kinds of praises flowed out like a torrential river.
As they talked about the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, everyone was also discussing the direction and final outcome of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational.
Just like Lin Feng's judgment, everyone at the dinner table came to a consensus.
The champion of this year's MSI was either SSK or Season.
"It's pretty much the same as last year's S5 World Championship."
Shi Hang couldn't help but sigh.
In last year's S5 World Championship, both SSK and Season had taken home the first and second place respectively. Who would have thought that after half a year, the S6 Mid-Season Invitational would be the same as it was half a year ago?
"These two teams are without a doubt the top two teams in the world right now."
Golden Shanzhan voiced his opinion.
"Setting aside the fact that both teams have the Four Emperors, the overall strength of SSK and Season, as well as the lineup of their coaches, are the best in the scene."
Nian Thirteen shook his head.
"SSK is first and Season is second. This pattern has been maintained for far too long."
"It's about time for some changes."
An Xin smiled when she heard that.
"Yes."
"Speaking of which, isn't the recent rise of MLG teams very obvious? In the European LCS region, their position is already catching up to Legend. Even Phoenix, the ace player of Legend, might have to face a challenge from Spoon, right?"
Among the group of top-tier pro players, the young girl's existence didn't stand out in the slightest.
In fact, even a few simple sentences were able to hit the crux of the problem incisively.
Of course, this was not surprising.
After all, back in the day, she was the top coach and analyst in the professional esports circle. Whether it was foresight or other judgment, she was not inferior to the professionals in Korea, North America, or Europe.
The others at the dining table nodded in agreement with An Xin's assessment. Nian Thirteen, in particular, had experienced it the most. He still had lingering fears.
"Steamed Bun is absolutely right."
"It's like MLG ate gunpowder today. Their firepower is just too much."
"And their mid laner, Spoon, is just off the charts. I don't know how he suddenly became so strong this season."
Lin Feng burst into heartless laughter. "Hahaha! So maybe your Hitman Squad will be eliminated in the group stage this time!" "Hahaha!
Nian Thirteen was almost choked to death by Lin Feng's words. He was exasperated.
"F * ck! Who said we're going to be eliminated? "
"This is only the first round of the group stage. Believe it or not, we'll make it back in the second round tomorrow!"
Lin Feng picked up a piece of scallion fish with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl. He ate with relish along with the fragrant white rice.
"I don't believe it."
…
Nian Thirteen was so annoyed by Lin Feng that he buried his head in the food to vent his anger. Tian Tian said with mixed feelings at this time, "Lin Feng, Nian Thirteen, Nian Thirteen.
"But I didn't expect Phoenix to start showing signs of decline."
"Spoon is getting better and better in the new season. It's possible that he's going to become Europe's number one Wizard."
"The Yonkō's list … is going to change."
Shi Hang nodded.
"There's also J, the first top laner of the Yonkō in the circle."
"There's going to be an earthquake in the esports circle this year."
Golden Shanshan rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Speaking of Nightingale's Dark Battle, I'm actually more concerned about something else. I've heard someone mention it in the Dark Battle group before. Aren't there two out of the six admins who haven't shown their faces yet?"
Shi Hang remembered. "Oh right, you're talking about Crow and Axe, right? I also saw some people discussing in the group. They were all guessing the identity and strength of the two admins. However, there were a few guys who guessed that the two admins were like J, the Yonkō (Four Emperors). I think that was too exaggerated. "
Nian Thirteen, who was still sulking, couldn't help but chime in.
"Crow and Axe?"
"Even I, the admin of the Dark Battle MSN group, don't know who those two guys are, let alone you guys."
"Even Autumn seemed to have asked the two of them if Nightingale was going to fight this year. In the end, the two of them didn't answer. It's so mysterious."
At this point, everyone at the dinner table couldn't help but be curious about the identities of the two admins of the Dark Battle MSN group.
Even Lin Feng chimed in excitedly to participate in the discussion.
Only the girl sitting next to him still had a smile on her face. No one could tell what was going on.
Shi Hang shook his head, but they could not come to any conclusion even after they made some guesses and discussions.
"Whatever."
"All in all, there's going to be a big change in the structure of the Four Emperors and Seven Kings this year. It's going to be exciting."
Golden Shanshan said.
"F and Autumn are probably the only ones who can remain in their positions in this situation."
After saying that, Jin Shan looked at Lin Feng and quickly added another sentence.
"But if Maple can come back in full strength, I think he'll be able to secure a spot in the Yonkō's list!"
There was not the slightest bit of flattery in these words. They were completely sincere.
Everyone nodded subconsciously.
Nian Thirteen squinted at Lin Feng. "Speaking of which, when we were eating crayfish yesterday, we ran into SSK's people. Hey, Maple, what did you say last night? Did F really recognize you?"
This was the first time Shi Hang and Golden Shanshan had heard of this.
Both of them widened their eyes in an instant.
"What? They ran into SSK? "
"F recognized Maple?"
"Seriously?!"
Lin Feng subconsciously rubbed his nose.
"Oh."
"Probably."
