Phoenix's tone was extremely solemn when he gave such an evaluation.
As one of the Four Kings of E-Sports, who stood at the top of the pyramid, he was also recognized as the number one wizard in Europe. With Phoenix's strength and status, even the Seven Kings of the world were not worthy of him facing them with such seriousness.
But the situation was different this time.
The people that he and Lin Feng had mentioned ….
They were the strongest players from the previous generation.
After so many years, the average pro player's lifespan had long since passed their peak, and their condition had begun to rapidly decline. For example, many of the pro players from Season S1 were no longer as good as they were in the past.
But those people were from the previous generation.
Even now, he was still able to maintain that his personal operating skill level was above that of the Seven Kings. This kind of reality was shocking enough.
Not to mention, there was one thing that both Lin Feng and Phoenix were well aware of: these few strong players from the previous generation not only maintained their individual skill level, but also had a wealth of tournament experience and incomparably ruthless awareness. In terms of overall ability, they could almost surpass all the new generation of professional players!
Because in terms of experience, even Lin Feng, Phoenix, F- Han Shihao and the others might not be able to match up to these people from the previous generation.
"So —"
"Old friend, be careful."
At the end of the chat, Phoenix gave Lin Feng such a kind reminder.
Because when facing the group of peak players from the previous generation, as strong as he or Han Shihao were, they did not have enough confidence in winning. They might even be pushed off the throne and into the dust.
That group of people …
They truly had the strength to threaten the Four Kings!
Lin Feng chuckled as he typed a reply.
"Understood."
"Thank you."
…
In fact, there was no need for Phoenix's reminder. Lin Feng had already personally experienced the strength of those few strong players from the previous generation.
There was no need to mention the new Four Kings, J, who was already known to the world. As early as this year's Nightingale Dark Battle, Lin Feng had already fought J head-on.
Apart from J, the opponent he wanted to challenge the most in this European server campaign, Crow, was still sitting high on the throne of the European server's king group leaderboard. He had never met him in a random game …
However, he had also met with one or two other IDs in the European server's Challenger Group passerby game.
Both of the qualifying matches had taken place yesterday.
The first match was yesterday afternoon. It was his third solo match in the European server. His blue team had a support teammate with the ID "Shield".
Shield in English meant "shield."
It was a name that was heavy, heavy, and as immovable as a mountain.
Lin Feng had heard that name before.
Back then, from Senior No. 1's mouth, he had heard Senior No. 1's evaluation of this shield —
"That's a turtle shell."
"Stubborn, stubborn."
"His level … is just so-so, but he can take a beating. It's actually quite strenuous to punch through his turtle shell."
Senior No.1's evaluation seemed rather nonchalant.
Even though the name "Shield" was a name that reverberated like thunder in the ears of almost all professional players in the previous generation, and was an existence that everyone had to look up to, it was nothing more than a "tortoise shell" in the mouth of a certain young man who was currently on vacation on the other side of the ocean.
After all, he was an immortal legend that was above Crow and Li Daozai. He was the true ruler of the previous generation.
However, Lin Feng could still hear something different in his words.
Although Senior No. 1 said it lightly, he also admitted that Shield was tricky and difficult to deal with.
Even he felt a headache when facing Shield's "tortoise shell" back then. The strength of this European powerhouse from the previous generation was obvious.
Lin Feng had a deep understanding of this point in the following qualifying matches.
In that ranked match, as a teammate, Shield chose Buron to play as support.
In the early matchup, the bottom lane was almost impregnable by Heart of Freljord.
Under the protection of Shield's support, Buron, the blue team's ADC teammate, Big Mouth, could simply relax and develop his last hit to his heart's content. On the opposite side, the combination of Policewoman and Japanese woman could not break through Buron's defensive line no matter what they tried.
In the middle of the group battle, Buron's several big moves to start the group battle were extremely accurate.
And the follow-up big move also prevented the purple team's assassin hero from finding the slightest chance to cut into the backline.
In the end, that ranked match ended, and the blue team won steadily.
There was no suspense at all.
Burong's final battle score was a perfect and impeccable support KDA.
Even after the end of the qualifiers, the blue team's ADC teammate, Big Mouth, especially took the initiative to add Shield as a friend. He sent all kinds of messages wanting to continue playing Duo Queue with this heaven-defying support, Burong.
Lin Feng was watching everything that was happening.
Then there was silence.
Not to mention overall strength, but purely in terms of the early game's protection ability, when used on heroes like Buron and Morgana, this Shield's level of attainment …
Perhaps not the slightest bit inferior to the second of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), World Support God Autumn.
One … …
A man who could shock people with the word "stable" alone.
… …
In a ranked match, he fought side by side with Shield as a teammate.
The other solo match took place late last night. Lin Feng saw another player with the ID "Ghost" in the purple army.
ghost。
It meant ghost, also known as ghost.
In the ranked match late at night, Lin Feng's blue team just happened to have an acquaintance.
It was Sakura, who took the initiative to add him as a friend a few days ago and invited him to play together.
In that ranking match, Sakura naturally chose to continue fighting in the jungler. He chose Kazik, the Praying Mantis that he was most familiar with, to fight. The opponent's jungler was Ghost's ID, Evelyn, the Widow Maker.
Then the ranked match began.
From start to finish, the battle lasted a total of 31 minutes.
For the rhythm of the European server's high-level ranked matches, it was a very quick match to end.
Blue team, defeated.
Lin Feng's mid lane sorcerer's performance was impeccable, but he still lost.
He lost in the early game, and the disadvantage was too great. In the middle of the game, he was unable to make up for the huge gap.
To be more precise —
In fact, he lost in the jungling.
In the first 15 minutes of the battle between the jungling players of both sides, it was already clear who was superior.
Originally, Sakura's jungling rhythm and awareness amazed Lin Feng, but when faced with the ghost-like Ghost's jungling mantis … …
From start to finish.
Almost a complete defeat.
Crushing defeat!
