"Oh, the fight is over~"

Listening to the inquiry from his old friend on the other end of the phone, Shi Hang touched his nose, and before Jin Shining could continue to ask about the result, he took the initiative and gave an answer in an understatement:

"I lost."

Today in the LPL preseason, there is a match between Team Hayashi and Team KG.

This is also Shi Hang's first appearance after returning to the professional e-sports circle in the Chinese server.

However, today's first battle did not go well.

"Lost?"

Jin Shining frowned and forgot about the previous conversation with Shi Hang about the National College League, and asked:

"Why did you lose and didn't perform well?"

Shi Hang smiled: "My performance is just okay. It's mainly because I have retired for too long. I am still not quite adapted to the current LPL game rhythm. Moreover, my tacit understanding with several new teammates is not enough."

Jin Shining felt a little regretful when he heard this:

"That's it..."

"It's a pity. Originally, today was your first game back. It would be most auspicious to get a good start."

Then he couldn't help but feel a little worried for his old friend: "You have no problem adjusting your mentality. This is just the first game. There are still games to be played later, but don't let this happen. I get discouraged by small setbacks.”

Such concerns are not unreasonable.

Because Jin Shanshan knows very well that the Chinese players online recently have great expectations for the return of the "Edisi" master from the S1 season.

But the higher the expectations, the easier it is to amplify this negative emotion when disappointed.

The current national server... still seems a little more impetuous.

The mentality of players in the national server is generally not very healthy. Sometimes if you like a professional player, you can worship him as an idol to the sky. But in the blink of an eye, when they find that their expectations have been disappointed, they will immediately start to criticize and criticize him.

This is also a test for professional players’ psychological quality and ability to withstand pressure.

There is no need to go online to browse Tieba forums now.

Even with his eyes closed, Jin Shanshan could guess that there must be all kinds of unflattering comments about Shi Hang among the players in the Chinese server. Rumors are probably about to fly all over the sky.

However, Shi Hang seemed quite relaxed and calm about his old friend's concerns and worries:

"Do not worry."

"I can still tolerate this little thing."

"And the KG team did very well today. With Madoka holding Sword Girl in his hand, he almost carried the whole audience, haha."

Jin Shining was a little annoyed when he heard this:

"Do you still have time to praise others?"

"Have some thoughts, first think about how to play the next game! You have just returned, there are so many players in the national server, and even many eyes in the circle are staring at you, that is waiting for you to get it How about a proof of strength?"

"By the way, who will Hayami fight in the next game?"

"What's the next match?" Shi Hang seemed to be stroking his chin to think back, then laughed and gave the answer: "If I remember correctly, it should be Team God!"

"Damn it, are you going to fight God next time!?"

Jin Shanshan was almost in a mess, and she was completely nervous for her old friend:

"Damn it, why are you so unlucky? You met KG in the first game, and then you met God in the second game!"

"People have recognized that the Chinese server is the strongest since the S5 season!"

There was another sentence that Jin Shiningshan didn't have time to say, and that was that God's team called "Hand of God" happened to have the number one mid laner in the Chinese server and one of the "Seven Kings of the World". One of the "Star Emperors" is Dawn Star.

For Shi Hang and Dawn Chenxing to face each other head-on in the middle, it is almost the most unlucky situation for a mid laner who urgently needs to prove himself with his strength.

But Shi Hang's tone still seemed understatement:

"Don't worry, I know."

"Anyway..."

After the last sentence fell, Shi Hang's mouth on the other end of the phone raised an extremely arrogant arc:

"No matter who my opponent is in the next match, I won't give in easily."

…

Not only did Shi Hang have a bad start in his first game after returning to the professional circle in the S6 season, but for Lin Feng, his path to the ranking in the Korean server champion group also became somewhat unsatisfactory.

After defeating the Fudan University team to advance to the finals, according to the final schedule of the National College League, the next day was another day of rest, and the finals were held on the third day.

From the night after the semi-finals ended until the next night, Lin Feng's performance in Korean solo queue fluctuated up and down.

Win, lose, win again, lose again...

After making a wild dash all the way to the top 20 in the Korean server leaderboard, Lin Feng finally encountered a very difficult solo queue period, and encountered great resistance in the process of reaching the rankings.

In a ranked game of this level, it is already very difficult for the mid laner to carry the entire team by himself.

First of all, the opponent in the queue of passers-by is not weak at all.

Secondly, and a very critical reason is that at this time, the ID accounts CN丶Hook2 began to attract the attention and targeting of more interested Korean champions.

This suddenly made Lin Feng's pressure even greater.

In every ranked match of the Korean Server King of Kings, the difficulty of playing is almost as difficult as when he was playing professional games.

Of course, Lin Feng knew very well that the main reason for this was that his current strength was not as good as it was at his peak.

otherwise……

No, there is no "else".

In front of the computer screen, Lin Feng shook his head, his eyes becoming sharp and focused again:

Any excuses or excuses are meaningless.

Because no matter what the reason is, it cannot be an obstacle for him to break into the top five of the Korean server king list.

Even if there are obstacles.

He also had to fight his way through the thorns head-on and cut through the mess with a sharp knife!

So, the solo queue continues.

There is another endless cycle of victory and defeat. On several occasions, Lin Feng's ranking did not even rise but fell. This made countless Chinese players on the Internet pay close attention to the ranking results of CN and Hook2 masters with nervous anticipation. We couldn't help but feel nervous and worried.

But perhaps it was indeed Lin Feng's unlucky day. Apart from team training, he spent the rest of the day and until late at night just improving his ranking by two places.

Eleventh place.

The threshold for the top ten in the Korean server king list stands right in front of you, close at hand yet seemingly out of reach.

After another solo queue match ended, Chu Fangnan, who was in the same room as Lin Feng, looked at the faint fatigue on the former's face and couldn't help but persuade him:

"Xiao Feng, let's do this tonight."

"Tomorrow is the last day of the finals. Keep your spirits up and work hard to win this championship first."

Lin Feng paused for a moment, then nodded slowly:

"Um."

"It's the last day."

Similarly, the task assigned to him by Senior No. 1 only had one day left.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng stood up from his seat and looked out the window, his eyes flashing with an extremely fierce fighting spirit:

"tomorrow."

"Both tasks must be won!"

At the same time, in another high-rise apartment in Chaoyang District, Beijing, a man in his thirties, wearing a windbreaker to keep out the cold, was also quietly standing on the balcony looking at the deep night sky above the imperial capital.

The night breeze is slightly cool.

Blowing up a piece of paper held in the man's hand.

Printed on the page were the roster information of the previous National College League quarter-finals teams, and the name "Lin Feng" was still clearly marked and crossed out.

The expression on the man's face was calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
