Rise

In front of the dinner table, Lin Feng didn't even bother to clean up the leftovers. He moved a chair and sat next to Su Xue. He leaned over to look at the Riot Games official website page that Su Xue took out on the phone screen.

Su Xue was helpless: "Hey, don't you have a mobile phone? Just click on it and see."

"It's too troublesome, I'm not happy to open it," Lin Feng said while still tilting his head this way: "Sister Xue, take your phone over and I can't see clearly——"

"You're so lazy!" Su Xue reached out angrily and rubbed Lin Feng's fluffy hair into a mess, but in the end she did as she was told and took the phone towards Lin Feng.

So the group tree list of the group stage of this S5 World Finals was clearly presented in front of Lin Feng.

The three representative teams qualifying from the Chinese LPL division are in Group A, Group B and Group D respectively.

Group A is the "all-China class" KG team. In addition to the wild card team, the other three teams in the same group are the Legend team from Europe and the North American team.

The God-Hand of God team in Group B had a more difficult opponent. Not only did they encounter South Korea's old rival Fate team, but also the remaining European team and a North American team were by no means weaklings.

The Dust team assigned to Group D seems to have the worst luck. Two of the three opponents are from the Korean OGN League, and one of them is the SSK team, last season's world championship team.

"In this case, Team Dust may have the greatest pressure in the group stage—"

Su Xue commented, somewhat feeling sorry for Team Chen's luck:

"Nowadays, people on the Internet say that these three teams from South Korea's OGN division are the strongest. Team Dust actually faced two of them in the group stage... It's so unlucky!"

Lin Feng nodded: "Oh...it is indeed a bit unlucky."

…

From the beginning of the S4 season to the current S5 season, South Korea's OGN division has been recognized by the world as the strongest division. In this S Series World Finals, the three Korean teams that came out of the OGN division were indeed eliminated. He is considered the most terrifying and feared opponent of all other teams.

There is indeed a reason for this.

Let’s not talk about the overall strength of other teams, but only talk about the individual strength of the players——

The top eleven professional players in the world, such as the "Seven Kings of the World" and the "Four Kings of E-Sports\

,"This time, each of the three Korean teams has at least one, and even the SSK team has two top-notch players, one king and one king.

And one of the "Four Emperors" of e-sports team SSK is the one who occupies the first place among the Four Emperors:

"F".

SSK-F.

Lin Feng's eyes fell on the SSK team logo on the team group tree list. He didn't look away for a long time, and his fists were clenched subconsciously:

(that person……)

(One day I will stand on the same playing field and defeat him!)

…

Soon Lin Feng was brought back to his senses by Su Xue's chanting:

"Hey, it's not just Team Dust. Team God's luck in Group B isn't necessarily that good either... Team Fate also has a Yonko, and Team God's Dawn Star is just one of the seven kings... The level has already opened up. There’s a big gap——”

Su Xue thought a little, she was particularly concerned about the classification of the Four Sovereigns and Seven Kings.

Lin Feng scratched his hair:

"Actually, the gap isn't that big..."

Although in terms of terms, the specifications of the four kings of e-sports are one level higher than that of the seven kings of the world, in fact, the strength and status of the players should be considered from the comprehensive nature——

Therefore, even if it is a matchup in the same position, it does not necessarily mean that one of the Seven Kings will lose against one of the Four Emperors.

For example, a few months ago, in the mid-season invitational tournament of the S5 season, the Chinese God team defeated the South Korean Fate team in the BO5 fourth round key match point battle in the finals. Dawn Chenxing's mid laner Clockwork was able to suppress it right on the line. In addition to the mid lane mechanical pioneer Moon, the mid lane captain of the Fate team, his performance in team battles also completely defeated the latter.

That battle was later dramatized and exaggerated by players in the Chinese server as the pinnacle showdown between the "Star King" and the "Moon King".

However, the so-called Star Emperor Dawnstar is only one of the Seven Kings, and Moon, who is revered as the "Moon Emperor", is the real third among the Four Emperors.

Therefore, after the mid-season invitational tournament, there was a saying that "the four emperors are not invincible", which also greatly increased the morale and confidence of the players in the national server.

Su Xue touched her chin: "You are right to say that..."

Lin Feng continued to express his opinion: "Furthermore, the God team can defeat the Fate team in the BO5 mid-season invitational tournament, and the confidence has been established. This time the two teams meet again in the group stage. It should be said that the psychological pressure of the Fate team is greater. ”

Su Xue looked Lin Feng up and down:

"You damn brat, you're very eloquent. You seem to understand me very well."

Lin Feng chuckled and patted his chest: "I'm also very good at analysis!"

Su Xue curled her lips when she heard this, and put her cell phone in front of Lin Feng: "Then tell me what's going on in Group A."

…

"Group A——"

Lin Feng's eyes fell on the list of Group A teams on the screen of his mobile phone. He thought about it and gave his evaluation:

"The difficulty of Group A is probably about the same as Group B."

Su Xue was slightly shocked when she heard this: "No way? There aren't any strong teams in Group A, and there are no Korean teams. There are only two European and American teams - and a wild card soy sauce team!"

Lin Feng shook his head and corrected seriously:

"European and American teams will not be weak, even if they are better than Korean teams, they may not be much worse, and -"

After saying that, Lin Feng paused and added:

"Even if it's a wild card team, we can't underestimate it."

Few current League of Legends players know that although the current professional League of Legends world seems to be dominated by South Korea, as early as the distant S1 season, whether it is China or South Korea, in the LOL electronics Competitive fields have not yet emerged.

At that time, it was the era of European and American teams.

In the S1 World Finals, the entire League of Legends game has not really started to become popular around the world. There are only 8 teams participating in the finals, of which six are European and American teams.

At the same time, there was only one team from China and South Korea participating in the competition - the nature was somewhat similar to today's wild card teams.

While thinking about it, Lin Feng's thoughts became a little wandering.

Scenes from that year flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern, bringing back memories of the past.

that time……

It’s really hard work.

But also very happy.

There were very few players playing League of Legends in the Chinese server at the beginning. As the only representative team in the Chinese division, they received support and encouragement from all League of Legends players in the Chinese server. Some players in the Chinese server in Europe even competed in the finals. I bought a plane ticket directly to come here to watch the game and cheer.

At that time, the scale of the S1 finals was also very small, and even the venue for the preliminary rounds was just a small exhibition hall in a game exhibition in London, England.

At that time, the competition venue did not have exciting and colorful lights flashing and jumping, and there was no gorgeous and grand arena. There were just ten players from the two participating teams sitting side by side, almost like an Internet cafe. A battle is going on.

However, in fact, it was precisely because the S1 Finals at that time was small and many rules and regulations were not too strict. Therefore, although Lin Feng did not meet the minimum 16-year-old requirement for professional e-sports events at that time, he finally hosted Fang and the E-Sports Association still compromised under their efforts.

That's why he stood on the stage full of emerging dreams and played against interesting and powerful opponents.

And speaking of it, even now, Lin Feng still has a very deep memory of the European and American teams that he originally opposed.

In the S1 semi-finals before reaching the finals, the European team they encountered put tremendous pressure on them in the BO5 match, and they almost stopped in the semi-finals.

Especially the captain of the mid laner of that European team, Lin Feng still clearly remembers how thrilling the five games were.

Many people will feel that the season version changes too quickly. S1 back then was simply a small game. The so-called strongest players at that time are not worth mentioning now.

But that's not the case.

Not to mention anything else, the mid lane captain of the European team that put Lin Feng in a tough fight in the S1 semi-finals, even in the current S5 season, enjoys a thunderous reputation in Europe——

Phoenix.

It means "Phoenix".

The only Yonko in the European Division.
