At the end of the meal with Nian Thirteen and Tian Tian in May, Nian Thirteen stood up to pay the bill and said this to end the discussion about the jungler in the LPL region.
"If the LPL guys are still like that in half a year's time, no LPL team will have a chance in the S6 finals."
His words were quite blunt.
Tian Tian still wanted to argue, but in the end, he had nothing to say.
No one else could say such words, but Nian Thirteen could. In fact, he might even be the most qualified person in the professional eSports circle to make such a judgment. That was because he had a long career in eSports. He had witnessed the entire process of the Chinese League of Legends from Season 1 to Season 6. At the same time, as one of the two King of Junglers in the world, he had the most say in the field of Junglers other than SSK's Mafa.
That day, on the way back, Tian Tian was still a little depressed. When they were about to part ways, he turned his head to look at Lin Feng and couldn't help but ask:
"Lin Feng …"
"Do you really think our country's junglers are like what Thirteen said?"
"Then is there really no hope for this year's S6?"
His tone was a little gloomy.
Logically speaking, Tian Tian didn't need to ask anyone else about Lin Feng, who was publicly recognized as the strongest top laner in the country. He was even as strong as one of the Seven Kings. However, Lin Feng was different. For Tian Tian, no matter what kind of status he had in the eSports circle, Lin Feng would always be the person he trusted the most.
But in response to Tian Tian's question, Lin Feng could only shake his head after a long silence.
After returning home alone, he tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to fall asleep. So, he simply called Senior No. 1 on the other side of the ocean and earnestly asked for advice.
Senior One's answer was incomparably nonchalant.
"It's simple.
"That brat Thirteen is right."
"There's only one biggest problem for the new generation of esports players like you.
"You're too focused on gains and losses, and your desire to win is too light.
"If you only care about all kinds of messy factors and worry about gains and losses, and don't even have the most basic desire to win, then how can you win?"
…
Yes.
Competitive spirit.
At that time, Nian Thirteen had only emphasized the gains and losses of the professional LPL junglers during the dinner. However, during the phone call, Number One's answer had really hit the nail on the head.
You haven't even hardened your desire to win.
Then why did you win?
Going back to the mentality that all professional esports players had when they first joined the esports circle, any newcomer who first joined a team to play professionally would be nervous, excited, and excited. They had the kind of reckless and pure desire to win like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. Regardless of whether they played well or not, they were brave enough and willing to gamble with their lives for the slightest chance.
But when you had been in the esports circle for a long time, with experience, fame, status, and fans, you would be affected by these factors. You would start to have misgivings, and you would become more and more restricted in the competition.
At this point, you are no longer thinking about winning.
He was just racking his brains to try to make his KDA stable enough to answer to the club and the fans.
Thus, there was an explanation.
But the passion was gone, the passion was gone, and so was the victory.
The reason why it was said that many previously unknown players would suddenly show their splendor and amaze the world in the S-League World every year wasn't because the new generation of players would definitely surpass the old veterans in terms of individual strength. The core reason was precisely because of the competitive spirit.
Perhaps it was their first time on the stage of the world finals, so they had a greater passion and desire for victory.
Then, they would be even more willing to take the initiative to fight for their own honor.
They would also be able to play at 100% or even exceed their usual state.
As for the veteran professional players —
After years and seasons of battles, perhaps even the Seven Kings were unable to maintain a competitive spirit. Only the Yonkō, who stood at the top of the pyramid, could be consistent from start to finish.
Lin Feng could be counted as one of them.
He was very lucky. Among his teammates back then, there were Eleven, Tian Tian, A 'Qiu, and Ah Mo, all of whom had the same personality and the same dream as him.
Later, he met Tang Bingyao, and even Ceng Rui.
Until now —
In front of the computer screen, Lin Feng controlled his clockwork spirit to cooperate with Shen Zhuang's stone golem. After defeating the second tower on the top lane, he decisively chose to return to the city. At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but shine brighter and brighter.
He found that his luck was really good.
His gaze fell on the purple team's jungler seat in the distance. Dou Zi's incomparably focused and solemn face was reflected in his eyes. Lin Feng was so happy that he couldn't help but smile brightly.
Who would've thought.
Being dragged by his roommates to participate in the eSports Association's recruitment …
Who would've thought that he would actually meet such a perfect "candidate"?
… …
In this match, Dou Zi should've been the one who needed the least pressure, but at this moment, he became the one with the strongest desire to win.
Cheng Qingqing, who was watching from the back, could not help but grumble in her heart.
"Damn, that guy. It's fine if he doesn't go easy, but why does he have to fight so hard …"
"There's nothing to gain from winning!"
Even Deng Zhe, the purple team's support, looked at his old friend in shock. Before this match, Dou Zi had clearly just wanted to watch a good show, but now … he was actually fighting for his life.
No one could understand such a change in mentality.
But Lin Feng understood.
So at this moment, the smile on his face grew brighter and brighter. The flames of battle in his eyes burned even brighter.
That's great!
Whether it's a regular match or a normal game, only when you fight with a true desire to win …
Only then can you fight to your heart's content!
The match lasted for a little over 20 minutes.
The battle between the Blue and Purple armies had reached a stalemate, and the core of the battlefield had become the battle between Clockwork and Widow. From individual control to team leadership to battle tactics, it was a battle of wills in every field!
21 minutes.
The third wave of the Dragon battle began.
Widow, the purple team's jungler, circled around the back and used a Blink skill to take the head of the opponent's ADC, Ember. Coordinating with her own frontline teammates, Widow was able to trade 1 for 3 against the blue team's nearly unbeatable lineup.
The third Earth Dragon was in their hands!
“nice!”
Deng Zhe praised out loud in his excitement.
The surrounding freshmen, as well as the old members of the Esports Association, were cheering non-stop. Their great president's jungling widow was really awesome and unbeatable. She was too strong!
Only Dou Zi's expression was as sharp and focused as ever. She didn't dare to slack off.
24 minutes.
The blue team used a four-on-one strategy. Rock Golem would lead the bottom lane, while Clockwork would lead the other three players to the purple team's second tower in the middle lane.
Widow once again circled around and flanked.
But at the same time …
As the blue team's mid laner, Lin Feng had already controlled his Clockwork Spirit to teleport forward with a [Flash] and rush towards the tower!
A golden light flashed.
"He's going!!"
The freshmen in the crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone's eyes widened!
The tapping sounds on the keyboard suddenly became clear and explosive, forming a single line!
QW Combo!
The ultimate, "Command — Shockwave", was activated.
A terrifying energy storm swept through the air and dragged three purple team heroes to the center. The purple team's ADC, Jinx, who had been hit by Clockwork QW Combo, was hit by the ultimate. His HP instantly dropped to zero!
Instant kill!!
