After Lin Feng and others finished eating the hot pot, they walked back to the WE base together.
On the way, a group of people also talked about the opening game in a few days.
Of course, Lin Feng, who thought he didn’t have to play, did not participate in this topic.
In the next few days, Lin Feng also enjoyed his leisure time.
To prepare for the upcoming Spring Split, the teammates play training matches every day. As for Lin Feng, he only plays ranked games or human-computer games when he has nothing to do.
After a few days of experimentation, Lin Feng realized that improving hero proficiency through playing robots was not that simple for every hero.
For example, he tried to play the hero Dashu, and ended up playing more than 30 rounds of human and computer games before he reached a two-star proficiency level...
He had reason to suspect that if he wanted to rely on humans and machines to raise the tree to a seven-star proficiency level, he probably wouldn't be able to do it for three days and three nights.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Feng chose to play in the Korean server rankings to gain points.
Originally, Lin Feng was thinking about whether WE could give him the bonus for ranking first in the Korean server, but the boss of Sky said that the bug could not be blocked like this, so he got a new account in the Korean server and asked Lin Feng to play again.
What else can Lin Feng do? He can only start from scratch...
Day after day.
With Lin Feng's daily fishing, the date of the spring season opening game is also getting closer.
At the same time, the topic of the opening game was also stirred up on the Internet.
Surprisingly, one day before the opening match, WE actually received an official notice asking WE to prepare for the opening match to be played by WE and RNG.
This made the WE team members very excited, and the Hongmi coach was also very busy because of this sudden news.
Of course, nothing would happen without Lin Feng. He never thought it would be his turn to play anyway.
…………
At noon the next day, after everyone in WE had lunch, they got on the bus and went straight to the competition site.
The game starts at three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still two hours of preparation time.
The bus had just started, and Xiye seemed to have discovered some big news. He held his cell phone and shouted:
"Holy shit, look, our official blog has been flushed!"
When Xiye said this, everyone gathered around him.
"What does being charged mean?" Kangdi stuck his head out and looked at Xiye's mobile phone.
Xiye explained: "The bastards... No, it was EDG fans who were besieging us. They said we were looking for connections through the back door or something."
"Take the back door?" When everyone in WE heard this, they suddenly felt confused.
Xiye continued: "What they mean is that the official originally planned to let EDG and RNG play the opening game, but then suddenly changed their mind and replaced EDG with us."
"Is there such a thing?" Everyone in WE was quite surprised after hearing this. They had never heard of this news.
At this time, Hongmi stood up and said: "Yes, there is such a thing. The LPL officials have mentioned it when they contacted our team. I was too busy yesterday, so I haven't had time to tell you the news."
"Huh? Is it true? Why is that? Is there any reason?" Kandi asked.
"They said it was because of... Lin Feng." Hongmi said, turning around and pointing to Lin Feng not far away.
"Lin Feng?" Everyone looked at Lin Feng along Hongmi's fingers.
Lin Feng, who was intoxicated while playing on his mobile phone, suddenly felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. He raised his head and found that everyone was staring at him.
So he asked: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Kandi showed a strange expression and asked: "Brother Fengzi, do you have any PY deal with LPL officials...?"
"You are so big!" Lin Feng was speechless, "What happened?"
957 came up and expressed his opinion: "Brother Fengzi, do you have relatives working in the LPL? You can still use the back door. I feel like we are going to be attacked by EDG fans this time."
"What are you talking about? The Riddler?" Lin Feng spread his hands, expressing that he didn't understand.
However, the more Lin Feng behaved like this, the more everyone felt that it was true. Everyone looked at Lin Feng sideways, with suspicion written all over their faces.
At this time, Hongmi came out and explained: "Have you misunderstood something? The official explanation given to me is that because Lin Feng is very popular now, they chose us to play the opening match."
"Moreover, the official also gave a condition that Lin Feng must play at least one game in the opening match."
Everyone in WE was stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened and they finally understood.
This reason is indeed persuasive. Every opening game of the new season will be played by the two most popular teams.
The purpose is to tell all players that the new season has begun. The more popular the team in the opening match is, the better the effect will be.
In recent seasons, WE's popularity is indeed not as popular as that of EDG. It can even be said that the gap is quite large, so it is completely understandable to let EDG play at the beginning.
But what they didn't expect was that Lin Feng's popularity was so exaggerated that he single-handedly changed the entire situation!
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Feng finally understood what these Riddlers were talking about, and he didn't expect that his influence would be so great.
"Wait a minute, coach, do you mean that Brother Fengzi has to play?" Xiye suddenly realized that there was important news in it!
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Hongmi responded.
"Ah...nothing, nothing." Xiye said and glanced at the reactions of Kangdi and 957.
Just as he thought, these two people were also a little panicked!
After the interlude, everyone in WE returned to their seats.
After more than half an hour's drive, the bus passed by the competition venue.
There is still some time before the game starts, but there are already a sea of people outside the venue, and everyone is waiting to enter.
The bus drove all the way into the underground parking lot of the venue. After it stopped, the door opened and WE and his group got off.
Lin Feng followed coach Hongmi, but as soon as he got off the bus, he noticed another bus parked not far away.
The people who got off the bus were none other than the RNG players, coaching staff and support staff.
At the same time, everyone in RNG seemed to have noticed Lin Feng.
The atmosphere suddenly felt a little awkward. Generally speaking, the relationship between the members of each team is quite good, but there are exceptions.
RNG, WE, and EDG are a bit incompatible with each other. After all, they are each other's biggest competitors.
After everyone from RNG got off the car, they all walked towards Lin Feng. The elevator entrance was on the WE side.
After getting closer, a man with yellow square eyes came forward and took the initiative to say hello: "Coach Hongmi."
Lin Feng recognized him at a glance. He was the head coach of Firefox and RNG. People in the circle generally called him "Brother Feng".
"Hello." Hongmi also greeted him, and the two shook hands.
However, Firefox's attention was not on Hongmi, but on Lin Feng.
Not only Firefox, but everyone from RNG who came over looked at Lin Feng.
In particular, Letme and Xiaohu glanced at Lin Feng several times, seeming to be very interested.
Lin Feng shuddered when he saw this. He had heard some rumors about the RNG team.
Rumor has it that Xiaohu may have a tendency to have "close contact" with the team members, such as sitting on each other's laps, putting their arms around each other from time to time, and even playing "monkey stealing peaches"!
Under the influence of Xiaohu, everyone in RNG has a bit of that taste.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng panicked!
Although I say that I'm pretty good-looking, I can't say that I can even attract male compatriots.
Fortunately, everyone in RNG just walked past Lin Feng, and everyone smiled and nodded to each other to show their goodwill.
Afterwards, everyone in RNG entered the No. 1 elevator.
All WE members took the No. 2 elevator next door and went straight to the third floor where the lounge is located.
When he arrived on the third floor, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Lin Feng saw a staff member with a work badge.
Under the leadership of the staff, everyone in WE came to a lounge.
The lounge is not big, only about twenty square meters, with a few stools and a table.
On the wall in front of the lounge, there is a large screen. After the game starts, the coach can watch the game through this screen.
Entering the lounge, everyone in WE put down their bags, moved a few stools, and gathered around Hongmi.
Hongmi's expression also became serious, and she said seriously: "This opening game is very crucial for us."
"The opponent is RNG. Although they have just been rebuilt and their cooperation will not be very tacit, everyone is very strong and we cannot take it lightly."
Everyone in WE nodded. After the schedule was determined, they began to study everyone's playing style in RNG, and they already have a certain understanding of it.
I saw Hongmi looking at the bottom lane combination, brother-in-law and ben, and continued: "Especially the bottom lane, RNG's current bottom lane is very strong, the assistant was poached from the secondary league, his ID is Ming."
"I have watched this man play in the secondary league. He is very intelligent and experienced. Be careful."
Ben is very confident: "Let's teach him a lesson and let him know the difference between the secondary league and the top league."
Hearing this, Hongmi was a little unhappy. It is not a good habit to underestimate the enemy.
But he didn't say much, as he couldn't undermine the team members' confidence at this time.
Hongmi turned to look at his brother-in-law:
"On the bottom side, we should also pay attention to their current ADC and UZI. This person's laning skills may be the strongest in the entire LPL."
"Uzi's overall style is relatively aggressive. We can't choose a combination that is too weak in the bottom lane, otherwise it will be very difficult to fight."
"At the same time, don't think about fighting. Just stabilize your growth online and don't give it a chance."
The brother-in-law was rather aloof, his reaction was very bland, and he nodded indifferently.
Hongmi seemed very relieved about her brother-in-law and didn’t say anything else. Next came Xiye.
"As for the mid laner, Xiaohu is a relatively average player in the lane. Although he is very strong, his playing style is relatively conservative, so he will not put too much pressure on him."
Xiye is quite relaxed. He knows Xiaohu's playing style very well, so at least he doesn't have too much pressure in the laning.
As a result, Hongmi changed the subject and said, "However, if the middle lane only develops peacefully, it will not be enough. Xiaohu has a strong ability to cause damage in a group fight."
"So, we must put enough pressure on him online."
"Ah? Putting pressure on Xiaohu? This...is a bit difficult, right?" Xiye almost cried after hearing this.
As long as the bottom lane is developed, why should he take the initiative to attack when he reaches the middle lane...
Hongmi did not chatter with Xiye, but instead glanced at Lin Feng who was playing with his mobile phone next to him, and said with a smile:
"If you feel pressured, Xiye, it's not impossible to let Lin Feng play in the middle."
"Lin Feng, you think so."
"Huh?" Lin Feng, who was chatting on his mobile phone, didn't notice what Hongmi said.
Ever since he set off from the base half an hour ago, people have been sending him messages.
Among them are Zhou Shuyi, Dai Xiaomei, etc...
They knew that WE had a competition today and it would be Raymond Lam's debut, so they were bombarded with news and asking questions.
Seeing Lin Feng's confused look, Hongmi repeated: "Xiye said there is pressure in the middle, let's see if you can hit the middle."
After hearing this, Xiye quickly protested: "Ah, I didn't say there was pressure in the middle."
When Lin Feng saw this, he understood that He Yihongmi was using him to put pressure on him. Not only could he put pressure on 957 on the road, but he could also put pressure on Xiye. This tool was well-qualified...
However, in view of Xiye's cheating performance in the past few days, Lin Feng chose to support Hongmi a little: "No problem, I can play in the middle."
"Brother Feng! You can't do this!" Xiye was about to cry but had no tears. How dare he let Lin Feng play in the middle? Once Lin Feng's performance is effective, I'm afraid he won't have many opportunities to play in the future.
"Don't we understand that you are under pressure?" Hongmi said, showing a conspiratorial smile and narrowing her eyes.
"There is no pressure, how can there be pressure? It's just Xiaohu, it's not like I haven't beaten him before." Xiye changed her face and patted her chest to ensure that she seemed to have a chance to win.
"Well, that's pretty much it." Hongmi nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Kandi again.
"As a jungler, you must be familiar with the opponent's Mala Xiang Guo style of play. This person likes to do things in the early stage, and his play style is very aggressive. He is the engine of RNG's early rhythm."
"So, you must keep an eye on him and not let him set the pace."
With Xiye's lessons learned, Kandi naturally did not dare to have any ideas, so he could only bite the bullet and promise: "Don't worry, I have been studying his playing style, and I know what color underwear he wears."
"Pfft... You really don't want to leave Sanlu." Xiye laughed out loud.
957 joked: "And it seems that they are not picky eaters, both men and women eat it."
When Lin Feng heard this, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Kandi had been clinging to him the past few days, and he hadn't thought about it yet. If Kandi really had such a tendency...
Just thinking about it makes Lin Feng feel his scalp numb.
Kandi saw that everyone seemed to have some strange thoughts, and quickly explained: "Hey, what are you thinking about? I am a straight man, okay, a straight man of steel!"
Hongmi ignored him and finally looked at 957: "As for the top lane, you should go in the first game. From the current point of view, the shortcoming of the RNG team should be the top lane."
"Their top laner is a standard blue-collar top laner. His laning strength is not very good. He likes to choose tank heroes to resist pressure."
"So in this game it is best for us to open a breakthrough from the top lane."
957 makes people numb when they hear it.
Redmi is completely overweighting...
He only needs to be stable in the bottom lane, and he only needs to put pressure in the middle lane. But when it is his turn to hit the lane, he needs to make a breakthrough...
Who can withstand this?
Emperor Rang's strength is indeed not very strong, but he can't be considered a dish either.
957 thought about it, glanced at Lin Feng secretly, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I... give it a try, the jungler may need to take more care of it."
After hearing this, Hongmi reached out and patted 957 on the shoulder, saying, "From your tone, do you think you don't have confidence in yourself?"
Hongmi seemed to be smiling but not smiling. This expression made 957 instantly understand what he meant. This was a naked threat!
957 already knows what Hongmi is going to say next. If he says he is not confident, then he will definitely let Lin Feng come on.
After all, the official also gave conditions, and Lin Feng must be allowed to play.
But there is no limit to only one game. If Lin Feng performs well, he will be in big trouble.
"Yes, I have confidence, I have confidence." 957 pretended to be calm, but he looked more like he was hypnotizing himself.
"Well, it's good to have confidence." Hongmi nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Feng watched all this with his own eyes and muttered in his heart: "This coach seems to have a lot of trouble. Koreans are really experts at this kind of thing, and they can control other people very well."
"It seems that if something happens in the future, I can't let him take advantage of me!"
Lin Feng realized that Hongmi's skills were very sophisticated, and professional players were very young, so it would be easy to be manipulated when encountering such an experienced player.
Of course, this is not a bad thing.
On the other side, in the RNG lounge, everyone in RNG is also making arrangements before going on the field.
Coach Firefox said to the RNG players: "They brought Lin Feng today, whom everyone knows. He has a high score in the Korean server. He also played in training matches a few days ago. You should be careful."
After hearing this, Emperor Rang laughed and said: "What's the use of having a high score? There are so many passer-by kings every year. Even the first Korean server to join the LPL, there are not many who can become famous."
"In the previous training matches, we just played casually and didn't use any tactics."
Rang Di rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, "Let him see our true strength this time and let him know the difference between a game and a passerby game."
