Tonight, the European server was destined to become the pinnacle of the competition.
All the world's top professional players, as well as countless ordinary gamers, were destined to be sleepless.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on the European server's King's Group, the duels between the two top-notch mid-laners with mysterious identities.
It was 9: 42 p.m. Beijing time.
On the European server's King's Group ranking list, the name of Crow, who had slipped from the top of the list to the fifth place a while ago, moved up another place with a calm and indifferent attitude.
Back to the fourth place.
The difference in winning points between the fifth and fourth place on the list was not big.
Crow had won two solo matches in a row and naturally overtook the fourth place in front of him.
At the same time —
On DouYu TV's live broadcast platform, the nearly 300,000 viewers in Luo Ying's live broadcast room were silent.
The originally enthusiastic and noisy bullet screen seemed to have slowed down at this moment.
As the host commentator, Luo Ying opened her mouth, but found that her throat was so dry that she could not speak.
After their first defeat in tonight's solo match, their top player, cn _ 006, moved on to the next match, only to encounter the mysterious Crow once again.
This time, it was a duel between a mid-laner card and a mid-laner Enchantress.
006's Card Master …
Lost again.
After a long while, the viewers in the live broadcast room could not help but murmur,
"Card against Enchantress, it's always a disadvantageous match-up —"
In their words, they were trying hard to find an excuse for their guru 006.
…
"There's no such thing as disadvantageous match-up."
Shanghai, Shanghai, in front of the computer screen in the training room of the God- Hand of God Team Club, Morning Star shook his head. His eyes fell on the live broadcast on the computer screen, and his expression was incomparably solemn.
"Card against Enchantress … Even if it's a match-up, there can still be a way to play according to one's own rhythm."
"This match-up …"
"It's just because Enchantress is too strong."
He said it as if it was a light sentence.
But under the circumstances where he clearly knew the level of CN 006's strength, coming to such a conclusion made Morning Star feel a huge invisible sense of oppression.
The Card Master had done well enough in this round.
If it were him, he would have been almost at the same level.
But facing the Enchantress …
The card master, on the other hand, was completely suppressed from start to finish. He was so passive that he didn't have much power to counterattack.
Morning Star sucked in a deep breath and smiled wanly.
"Fortunately, I didn't go."
Initially, he was thinking about whether he should go to the European server and find a chance to have a go at Crow. But now, it seemed that if he really went there, he would probably end up in a much worse situation than the one that had befallen cn 006.
Next to him, Wildsnow Nightsong also sucked in a breath of cold air and couldn't help but curse.
"This is f * cking, f * cking …"
"Is he really at the level of a Yonkō (Four Emperors)!?"
Yonkō (Four Emperors)?
Morning Star was silent for a moment. Then, he spoke slowly with a deep tone that made his teammates beside him shudder.
"No."
"It's not that simple."
"This kind of strength might not even be something an ordinary Yonkō could have …"
…
In the center of the computer screen, the emblem of "Defeat" was extremely eye-catching and glaring.
Lin Feng picked up a cup of water from the table next to him and took a sip. His face was calm and expressionless.
He glanced at the friend list on the right side of the game screen.
Crow's friend ID still showed a "Idle" status below his friend's profile picture, as if he was waiting for something.
Like a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait again.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
He moved the mouse and clicked the "Confirm" button to start the match.
At the same time, the status of Crow's profile picture on the friend list was quickly changed to "in queue".
Almost in sync.
They continued to queue.
In the third solo match, the two met again.
The qualifying match came to an end at 10: 18 PM Beijing time.
On DouYu's live streaming platform, Sakura's viewer count had reached an astonishing 320,000, but the atmosphere in the stream was even quieter than before.
The live broadcast screen showed the blue "Victory" emblem.
But this kind of "victory" was not enough to make the viewers feel the slightest bit happy.
Because …
Their national server's God 006 was on the purple side in this ranking match.
Another defeat!
Three defeats in a row!
The incomparably heavy reality weighed heavily on the hearts of the viewers, who were full of admiration and anticipation for CN 006, and they felt a little suffocated.
No one had expected such an outcome.
Tonight, CN _ 006 had a winning streak at the beginning of the ranking tournament. Who knew that ever since he met the mysterious strong player named Crow in the random game, he would suffer three consecutive losses in the ranking tournament.
"Damn it … why do I always meet that Crow!"
Some of the viewers were so anxious that they started spamming the bullet screen with complaints.
"Is that Crow here to snipe?"
"006 Guru, you can wait a while before starting. Don't run into that crow every time —"
Some viewers were a little calmer, and they began to analyze the situation carefully.
"That's not right. 006 was able to defeat Spoon before."
"Now he lost three games in a row to Crow. Is this guy stronger than the Seven Kings of the World?"
It sounded very unreal.
But soon, another piece of news spread in the live stream —
It was said that just an hour or two ago, when Crow first came online tonight, he also met Phoenix and Spoon.
And he won both games as well.
As soon as the news spread, the entire live stream was completely silent.
All the viewers could not help but be shocked.
That Crow …
He can even beat the Yonkō?!
So strong!?
He could not suppress the disbelief in his heart. After a long time, more and more viewers could not help but send a bullet screen comment in a daze.
"Then … should we really ask Legend 006 to wait a little longer?"
"What if he keeps meeting Crow and keeps losing?"
"That's right … If he can even defeat the Yonkō (Four Emperors), his strength is so heaven-defying. There's no need for him to face such an abnormal expert head-on …"
Many of the viewers started to soften their stance.
Many people began to think that since the opponent was so strong, there was no need to fight him head-on.
After all …
Why bother?
…
In his bedroom, Lin Feng was sitting in front of his computer screen with his eyes closed.
The palm of his right hand that was holding the mouse was already covered in sweat. In such a quiet room, he could even clearly hear his incomparably intense and rapid heartbeat.
This was because he felt pressured.
It was a suffocating feeling that he had not felt in a long, long time.
This was the kind of intense palpitation that would only appear when facing an opponent stronger than himself.
Three losses in a row.
All losses were caused by his own mid lane.
There was no reason or excuse. It was just that he had lost to his opponents time and time again in the mid lane duels.
Last time …
When did this happen?
It was as if he had had such a similar feeling and experience a long time ago when his memory was about to blur. But perhaps because it was too long ago, even if he tried hard to recall now, he could not remember who he had fought with at that time.
But the clearest memory he had …
It happened five years ago.
