Rise

In the group stage of the World Finals, after two days of competition, the first round of Group A and Group B has come to an end.

Then there will be a two-day break, followed by a new round of competition between the eight teams in Group C and Group D.

Players in the national server have also temporarily turned their attention back to their own game rankings.

For everyone in the 13th High E-Sports Club, they have not been idle these two days. Of course they have to pay attention to the finals, but for them, what is more important is that the schedule is also getting closer and closer to Shanghai. Upper Sixteen School League.

So in the past two days, everyone in the Thirteen High E-Sports Club once again concentrated on arranging and training. As the coach, Lin Feng became much less talkative in the past two days, and his face always had a smile on his face. With a serious look on his face, he also had stricter requirements for everyone in the team.

"Tangtang didn't do a good job in the team fight, and she didn't enter the battlefield at the right time."

"Old Wei's eye position and field of view were too conservative. The real eye in front should be inserted deeper."

"Aze, you are still a bit weak in the lane. If you can't jungle in the early stage, you have to control the situation well."

"Xiao Yue was so overconfident just now that he didn't do anything in the first ten minutes."

"Unqualified."

"Unqualified!"

"Unqualified!——"

Everyone in the e-sports team also clearly felt that Lin Feng's requirements for them had become much stricter in the past two days, and seeing the rare serious look on Lin Feng's face, they were quite afraid to say anything and honestly followed. Following Lin Feng's request, he worked hard to continue to correct and improve.

The effects of such high-intensity training are naturally considerable.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the strength and tacit understanding of the members of the recent Thirteen High E-Sports Club are improving.

In addition to training, several members of the e-sports club will continue to get together with each other to seriously study and discuss the problems that occurred in the previous team training.

At this time, Lin Feng chose to let the team members communicate with each other internally. He sat silently beside him and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

…

"Why,

What's going on with Fengzi these two days? "

On the other side of the e-sports team, Ouyang couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng, who was sitting alone with his head bowed not far away, and whispered to the teammates in front of him:

"It feels like Fengzi is not in a good mood."

Liu Yue, the youngest, nodded for a while; "Yes, yes, I feel like Senior Lin Feng has become so serious in the past two days! I didn't even dare to get angry when he pointed out my problems -" Liu Yue said with a look of lingering fear. .

Ren Rou's eyes fell on Tang Bingyao: "Tangtang, do you know what happened to Fengzi?"

Of course Tang Bingyao knew.

But she turned her head and looked at Lin Feng who was not far away, then thought about it, and then lied and answered:

"have no idea."

Shen Ze, who is the top laner of the team, guessed: "Isn't it because you are broken up in love?"

Ouyang rolled his eyes: "Old Shen, what you said is so incompetent, you don't have any eyesight at all - we Fengzi have made it clear that we have an affair with Tangtang, okay!"

Tang Bingyao tilted her head: "Have a leg?"

Ren Rou reached out her hand and gave Ouyang a slap on the head unceremoniously: "Your sister! It's all a mess. Let's get down to business. The organizer of the Shanghai Sixteenth School League today has sent a notice that our team The brackets for the knockout rounds are also out.”

Having said this, Ren Rou paused for a moment, with a solemn and serious look on her face:

"This time... we are not very lucky."

…

Indeed, although the group stage of the World Finals is in full swing, the date for the first round knockout of the Shanghai Sixteen Schools League has also been determined, just one week from now.

As soon as the group list for the knockout rounds came out, the Thirteen High E-Sports Club team was really unlucky this time.

In other words, it's pretty bad.

According to the knockout format, each participating high school team needs to go through three battles, and teams with more than two wins advance to the next round of knockout rounds.

And this time the opponent assigned to the Thirteen High E-Sports Club...

They are Tongji High School, Shanghai No. 3 High School, and Shanghai No. 7 High School.

After learning about the lineup for this knockout round, the faces of everyone in the e-sports club suddenly changed.

"Holy crap, you're even more unlucky than last time!?"

Ouyang had an expression of disbelief on his face, and then he said slumped: "It's over, it's over, there's really no chance this time!"

Yang Fan, Shen Ze and Wei Dong, as veteran players who had participated in the last Sixteen Schools League, looked even more ugly because they knew the strength of their opponents this time.

Among the three teams, even the weakest Shanghai No. 3 High School reached the top 32 in the last session. If it had not encountered another strong team that finally reached the semi-finals, the Shanghai No. 3 Middle School at that time would have been completely different. Those who have the strength to make it to the main draw.

As for the other seven high schools in the city and the High School Affiliated to Tongji, they were among the top 16 and semi-finals respectively in the last 16-school league!

"Not to mention Tongji Affiliated High School... Even if we are facing off against Shang Qigao, we may not have a chance of winning——"

Shen Ze said in an extremely low tone.

Yang Fan on the side also adjusted his glasses and smiled bitterly: "This time it is really three hard battles."

For a time, everyone in the e-sports team inevitably felt a bit pessimistic and desperate.

They had to face such a powerful and even terrifying opponent as soon as the knockout rounds started, which really knocked their confidence and fighting spirit to pieces.

They have indeed been training vigorously and hard recently, and their strength has also been improved, but is such a short period of training improvement really useful?

The opponent... was a strong team in the last sixteen-school league.

There was even the even more terrifying team from Tongji Middle School!

In the Internet Cafe, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became extremely heavy and depressing.

And at this moment, a voice sounded:

"Oh, have the groups come out?"

Everyone subconsciously looked towards where the sound came from, and saw Lin Feng, who was sitting quietly not far away just now, looking up at this side with a puzzled expression on his face:

"Why are you all so embarrassed?"

…

Shen Ze smiled bitterly at Lin Feng: "Fengzi, our luck is really bad this time. The opponent we picked is too strong."

Wei Dong also nodded heavily: "Yes, according to our current training progress, we can win against the top three in Shanghai, but it is hard to say against the top seven... not to mention the Tongji Affiliated High School——"

The other people didn't speak, but they couldn't help but show recognition on their faces.

But Lin Feng looked at the people in the e-sports club strangely and said:

"But, aren't we going to win this year's Sixteenth School League Championship?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the e-sports club was stunned.

Lin Feng reminded again:

"We just agreed last time that we are going for the championship of the Sixteenth School League, haven't you forgotten?"

Everyone was a little choked and speechless, but Wei Dong said: "But... that's just a goal..."

How can it really be achieved?

The second half of the sentence subconsciously emerged in the minds of everyone in the e-sports team.

Lin Feng shook his head, looked at Wei Dong seriously, and corrected:

"Not a goal."

"That's the plan."

"Winning the championship is a task that must be completed and realized in the plan."

Having said this, Lin Feng paused for a moment, glanced at everyone in the e-sports team one by one, and spoke in an extremely serious tone:

"Since this is a task that everyone has decided to complete, and they are already working hard for this dream -"

"Then the game hasn't even started yet, how can we be scared off just because of a little difficulty?"

"Whether you can beat me or not..."

"Don't you have to fight to find out?"

"If we haven't even fought yet, we will be scared away by the reputation of some top four team."

"Then what's the point of all the previous efforts and confidence?"

Lin Feng's words rang in the private room, not loudly, but the last rhetorical question made everyone wake up as if they were awakened by the sound of a twilight drum and a morning bell.

yes.

They are determined to win the championship, but now they are intimidated by a top four team. Isn't this contradictory?

What's more, if you've never fought before, how do you know if you can win?

Ouyang slapped his thigh hard: "Fengzi is right!"

Shen Ze also thought about it and nodded vigorously: "Well, it's too early to give up now!"

Yang Fan adjusted his glasses: "That's right. Thinking on the bright side, the stronger the opponent, the more challenging it will be."

Seeing the gradually changing expressions of everyone in the e-sports club and their renewed spirits, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction:

"Don't worry about improving your strength."

"You have to believe in my coaching skills."

"Besides, if you still can't beat your opponent when the time comes—"

As he spoke, Lin Feng paused, and suddenly showed a bright and confident smile that he had not seen for two days:

"Then I'm still here!"
