The audience in the Feng Yun Esports Stadium had already gotten up and were preparing to leave, but the lively and noisy atmosphere in the stadium did not stop.
The players who had come to the stadium to watch the match today were still excitedly discussing the matches that had taken place tonight. Whether it was the dazzling exhibition match at the start of the match, or the amazing performance of the purple team's ADC during the interactive exhibition match, or the final match between Season and SSK, the champion and the runner-up match —
Every match was enough to make the players in the stadium reminisce endlessly.
As a topic of conversation, it was enough to be talked about at dinner tables or in school dorms for a long time.
At this time, the hosts, commentators, and staff of various domestic and international streaming platforms and gaming media also began to pack up. No matter how the results were, the end of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational was a huge relief to them.
A big mission was completed.
They had interviewed a lot of true heavyweight pro players.
They had also collected a large amount of valuable interview videos and written materials.
When they returned to their respective companies, they had to continue organizing and summarizing these materials and make them into news reports or other popular videos to provide firsthand information to other League of Legends players and netizens.
Therefore, at this moment, the reporters, hosts, and staff of various gaming media did not know — —
When they were satisfied and ready to pack up …
In fact, in a secluded corner backstage of the venue, there was a conversation that could truly be described as a "priceless treasure" going on.
In terms of content …
The content, value, and degree of shock of this conversation was enough to blow away all of the interview videos and written materials of this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational.
…
"In the finals back then, I only won because of luck."
Han Shihao's tone was calm and even a little indifferent as he slowly said this sentence.
Just this sentence alone, a mere ten words, would probably cause other ordinary League of Legends players to be completely stunned. If it fell into the ears of the gaming media, live streaming platforms, and reporters, these professionals would go crazy with excitement!
Back then.
It was referring to the year of the S1 Season.
As the leader of the Four Kings of Esports, the world's strongest mid, Han Shihao, was publicly recognized as the strongest player in the world of professional esports. All kinds of honors, flowers, and halos shrouded him, and he was extremely dazzling.
Countless people had analyzed the video data of Han Shihao's top heavyweight matches.
The final conclusion made people sigh in admiration.
F was too strong.
SSK was just too strong.
Even in the previous two S Series World Finals, SSK had won the championship twice without any surprises or mishaps. They had displayed the strength and style of the strongest team in the world and the strongest team in the world.
There was only the first World Finals in Season S1.
It was different.
Unlike the next two championship trophies, only in the S1 season finals did F- Han Shihao really experience a dangerous and bitter battle.
Even before the last match point game, the outcome of the match was still uncertain.
Although it was still Han Shihao who won the championship trophy of the first World Finals in the end, the old people of that year all clearly remembered how thrilling and full of ups and downs it was in that five-game set of 'best-of-five' matches.
But after that, when Han Shihao was interviewed countless times and asked about the S1 World Finals, the world's strongest mid laner never gave a direct answer.
He either calmly changed the topic, or he was indifferent.
It was as if he was silently refusing to talk about the earliest memories of that year.
This was also something that countless professionals in the industry and game media reporters always remembered in their hearts.
Until today.
Or rather, until this moment.
When the most dazzling pair of old rivals from the S1 season finals stood together again, Han Shihao finally spoke out his thoughts and judgment for the first time in the past.
He said that he only won because of luck.
…
Lin Feng was silent.
After a while, Lin Feng smiled again.
"Luck is also a kind of strength."
His tone was calm and composed. It was as though he had finally let go of his greatest regret from back then.
He didn't lose unjustly back then.
Putting aside the naivety of his youth, that set of 'best-of-five' matches back then was also the five matches that he had fought to his heart's content.
It had nothing to do with winning or losing.
The only thing that mattered was who his opponent was.
Han Shihao didn't seem to care about Lin Feng's answer. He shook his head slightly and continued to speak calmly.
"That set of best-of-five matches was also the most satisfying set of best-of-five matches I've played since I became a professional player.
"I remember every detail of those five matches."
"Now that I think about it, many of the details still make me feel that it was incomparably thrilling."
It was an extremely honest and calm statement.
Han Shihao paused for a moment, then his gaze fell on Lin Feng's face again.
"Since then, I have never felt this way again.
"Whether it's the S World Finals, or the team that faced Autumn, or Moon or Phoenix —
"Actually, it's nothing."
Han Shihao's tone gradually returned to normal, but the words that came out of his mouth were still enough to cause a violent shock.
So …
Even the other three Kings were not much of a threat in the eyes of this world's number one player who stood at the top of the Four Kings.
"They are very strong.
"But it's not strong enough."
Han Shihao made the final conclusion with an expressionless face. His gaze was as sharp as a knife as he instantly locked onto Lin Feng's gaze.
"So —"
"These past few years, I have been very bored."
…
Perhaps it had been a long time since Han Shihao took the initiative to say such a long string of words to someone. When he spoke, every word sounded a little stiff.
But from beginning to end, his tone didn't change at all.
Calm and indifferent.
It was as if he was just stating an ordinary fact.
But …
Every word carried an aura that caused one's heart to palpitate.
Lin Feng was silent for a moment.
Then he also shook his head and spoke calmly. The first sentence that came out of his mouth was a little abrupt.
"I also participated in the nightingale.
Nian Shisan added me into the group.
I'm Lin. "
In these three sentences, he also stated a fact without any concealment.
Han Shihao's expression didn't change in the slightest, as if he had already known or guessed this truth.
Lin Feng wasn't surprised by Han Shihao's calmness.
He just continued slowly, "This is my first time participating in nightingale. After three days, I found it very interesting.
According to Old Thirteen and the others, this seems to be the most exciting dark battle in recent years.
And … there are also some very powerful and mysterious people.
For example, J. "
Finally, when he heard the last sentence, Han Shihao's eyes suddenly flickered. Lin Feng noticed it and smiled.
"A top laner of the Four Emperors that has never appeared in the circle before …"
"It sounds very unbelievable, doesn't it?"
"At first, I couldn't guess his identity, so I called a senior that I respected very much, and then I found out the true origin of that person."
This time, it was Han Shihao's turn to be silent.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze swept past the old enemy in front of him and looked into the distance. His gaze became somewhat distant and profound.
"The strongest of the last generation …"
"He seems very powerful."
"Even the senior that I respect the most gave him a very, very high evaluation. And it seems that there is more than one existence like J.
"It's a group of people. A group of legends from the previous generation who stood at the top of the pyramid are quietly returning."
"Whether they are unwilling to give up or unwilling to admit defeat, those people seem to be coming back. They will definitely cause an unprecedented earthquake in the current esports circle."
"But, I was thinking …"
At this point, Lin Feng paused, then calmly and leisurely spoke again. His voice was a little faint, but there was a kind of biting cold sharpness in it.
"This generation should still belong to us, right?"
"No matter how glorious some people from the previous generation were, they still belong to that generation."
"And this new generation has nothing to do with them."
"It is only related to us."
"The senior that I respect the most said that every generation has a group of the most dazzling stars, enough to light up the entire night sky. But the stars will also dim, so there must be successors who uphold the same will to shine again, to light up the bright galaxy above the heads of all esports players in the new generation."
"In this generation, we should also have our own starry sky."
"We can't blindly rely on others."
"Then, we can only start from ourselves."
"We will become the legends of this new generation."
Lin Feng retracted his gaze and looked at Han Shihao again. He smiled calmly and calmly.
"So I came back."
"Sorry."
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
