"The basic situation...that's it."

"So Senior No. 1 and Sister Xiaowu should go back tomorrow. They are also working very hard. Compared with us who only need to concentrate on the game to win, they have more things to consider and do, more complicated, and more difficult. ——”

"Of course, if it's seniors and the others, no matter how difficult it is, they will definitely be able to win it in the end."

"I can't help much with those things."

"So just like Senior No. 1 said, they are responsible for what they have to worry about. We just need to play every game well and win every victory."

"Live up to their hopes and live up to yourself."

"The team is in very good shape recently. Tangtang and Azeng's bot lane cooperation has always been very good. Recently, they seem to have been inspired by Aqiuna's performance in the two games a few days ago, so now it's not just Tangtang, Even Azeng’s playing style seems to have become much more offensive.”

"Eleven and Lao Chen are becoming more and more proficient in linking up in the jungle. Over this period of time, Lao Chen is becoming more and more integrated into the team's play style."

"My word...it's okay."

"I may have encountered a bottleneck in my mid lane position, and it may be a little worse than my peak state, but it shouldn't be a big problem. I can handle it myself."

"But if you want to go further - there is no idea for now."

"I still need more games and actual combat to stimulate myself."

"The overlord from King's Landing should be a good opponent. We will probably meet him after a few more rounds of the national competition. I think he is better than the K from Jiutian. There is no problem even playing directly in the LPL."

"However, these are not things that need to be considered for the time being."

"During training recently, I also deliberately changed positions with Tangtang and practiced AD."

"It has to be warm to the touch."

"Otherwise, I'm not sure of winning against Aqiu - just like Senior No. 1 said, that guy's condition has been restored bit by bit in these games. If he doesn't deal with it carefully and goes all out, If you go ahead, you will suffer a big loss.”

That night, on the phone with the other side of the ocean,

Someone said this to the girl on the other end of the phone.

The girl played the role of a listener very well, listening patiently and carefully to someone's story. She didn't speak until here and asked with a smile:

"After watching the game, are you no longer confident?"

Lin Feng scratched his hair and admitted honestly:

"When it comes to confidence...there really isn't much."

"After all, my opponent is that guy Aqiu. Even at the beginning, I didn't seem to have taken much advantage from him."

Someone who said this paused, then shook his head:

"But even if I'm not sure -"

"You also have to win."

The girl on the other end of the phone didn't ask for the reason, because she knew someone's thoughts and intentions clearly without asking, so she just said "hmm":

"come on."

Then she turned to smile again:

"It's such a pity that I can't watch the match between you two live. Such a rare and grand event should have been witnessed with my own eyes."

There was a bit of playfulness and narrowness in the tone, and it seemed that it was only at this moment that people finally felt a bit of the girl's elf-like light and cheerful temperament again.

Someone on the other end of the phone protested:

"Hey, why don't you worry about me a little more?"

"Speaking of which, if you were there, would you be cheering for me or Aqiu?"

The girl on the other end of the phone said without thinking:

"Oh, of course it's Aqiu!"

Someone: "Hey! How unjust!"

At the end of the phone call, the atmosphere became relaxed and happy, and the two childhood sweethearts began to joke and laugh again.

It seems that no one has considered or worried about whether the Xiacheng decisive team can survive tomorrow's 64th round with its current paper strength.

Just like when Chen Ting asked No. 1 a similar question in a hot pot restaurant, No. 1 responded and answered like this——

There was no need to worry in the first place.

…

The next day, in the morning.

At the Imperial Flying Eagle Esports Arena, the top 64 of the LSPL National Selection Tournament begins.

In the morning, the battles between the four groups in Area A started at the same time.

Team A11 Xiacheng wins the battle against Team A16 Golden Sword.

BO3 competition format.

It lasted a full hour and fifteen minutes.

The Xiacheng team defeated the opponent 2-0 and successfully advanced.

The moment the word "Victory" appeared on the big screen, the audience was almost shaken. Countless people stared with eyes wide open and looked in disbelief of horror.

No one ever thought——

This Xiacheng team, which had already defeated the Tiejia Xiaobao team as a dark horse, once again created a miracle when facing a new round of more powerful opponents and defeated them!

The last opponent was only a team of more than 40 players.

And this time...

But the first thirty!

"Hey, hey, that's an exaggeration..."

Someone in the audience couldn't help but murmured like this.

The Magic City Finals Team, who were also present to watch the match, had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Is this state... really still improving?"

This was Chen Ting's exclamation that couldn't help but gasp.

Of course, he is talking about the ace core ADC of the Xiacheng decisive team.

Two games.

The performance data of the Paladin Ranger in a game is 8/2/3.

A Piltover policewoman 6/0/4.

The opponent he faced was obviously a stronger opponent, and the ganks he encountered in the lower lane were obviously more intense than in the previous round, but it seemed that nothing could stop the former's carry.

Forcibly, this team, which is by no means outstanding in its own right, was forced into the next round.

Lin Feng, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked towards the arena, and the figure of his former partner was reflected in his eyes:

"certainly."

In the afternoon, the four groups of games in Area C started.

The Magic City Decisive Team comes out to play.

They won 2-0 and successfully qualified for the top 32.

That night, the schedule entered the D zone. Under the leadership of the mid laner, the Reign team swept their opponents with overwhelming force and also advanced to the qualifying stage with their second consecutive victory.

The next day.

The remaining four divisions from E to H, a total of sixteen groups of battles, are ending one after another.

Top teams such as TO, Jiutian, Hydralisk, and Ghost Night also defeated their opponents without any surprises and advanced steadily.

At this point, the two rounds of the imperial capital have come to an end.

The top 128 teams in the national competition were narrowed down to only 32 teams.

Next stop——

Magic City.

Here's an update. On the second day of a business trip, I miss home and don't want to work. Speaking of which, friends, is school starting soon?
