Regarding his old friend's straightforward inquiry, Lin Feng did not hide it at all, and nodded seriously and replied:

"Hmm."

That's an acknowledgement.

On the other end of the chat window, September Frost Leaf was slightly shocked when he saw it.

In fact, he didn't need Lin Feng to take the initiative to admit it, he could guess that Tong Guò and Lin Feng would open a simple black and double row in one or two games tonight, and many details could be seen at a glance.

Tonight's Lin Feng is too good and perfect in terms of operation reaction speed and consciousness state.

This is not something that can be explained simply with a "he's a maple" reason.

Because even if you are a former professional player, after leaving the professional e-sports arena for many years, your own strength will be greatly reduced with the passage of time, and it will no longer be at the peak level of the year.

On this point, September Frost Leaf himself has a personal experience:

After a few years of anchor career, even if he is still in the ranking of broadcasting live for at least six hours a day, whether it is the reaction speed or the state of consciousness, it is far less than it was back then - after all, he is still too comfortable now.

Professional e-sports is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

And the state that Lin Feng showed tonight is definitely not something that a former professional player who has been retired for many years can have.

There's only one explanation for that.

Even during his retirement, he still maintained a high enough intensity of training to keep his reaction speed and condition awareness above the professional level.

Or, through high-intensity training and hard work, little by little, I will get back to the state of the year.

Either way, it means a lot of hard work and effort.

It means unimaginable hardships and sweat for ordinary people.

September Frost Leaf's thoughts were slightly in a trance, that kind of experience, that kind of years, he also had it, in the S2 and S3 seasons of that year, he was in the Amakusa team in order to impact the championship of the LPL League, and the World S League, he also worked so hard every day to train hard, single-mindedly only for one goal.

Although hard.

Every day is extremely fulfilling.

……

The thought was retracted, and September Frost Leaf replied by typing in the chat window:

"Even you're coming back."

"Does anyone else in the circle know now?"

Lin Feng shook his head and replied by typing:

"Not much, just a few for the time being."

September Frost Leaf nodded in understanding: "Yes, otherwise, as soon as this kind of news comes out, the entire national uniform should have been alarmed—"

This sentence of emotion is definitely not without reason.

You must know that even Shi Hang, who returned to the national service professional e-sports circle a while ago, was able to set off an exclamation in the national service; So if the return is the maple that was recognized as the strongest mid-laner in the S1 season of the national server that year, and the one who can compete with F in the S1 world's top professional arena for five games, the entire national server will be completely boiling and sensational.

Lin Feng smiled, and didn't say much about the emotion of September Frost Leaf.

The conversation between the two fell silent for a moment.

In the middle of the night, September Frost Leaf turned away and mentioned it again as if he was looking for a topic:

"You're really good at what you're doing—"

"In the previous game, Wayne, played too 6."

There was undisguised admiration and praise for Lin Feng in his words.

After all, a Wayne who saves the world with five kills, a god-like operation and performance, even many professional ADC players may not be able to do it lightly, let alone a former professional player who has been retired for many years.

But Lin Feng shook his head and replied by typing:

"Nothing."

"You were stronger back then."

It seemed that this was just a very ordinary modest and polite sentence, but when it came out of Lin Feng's mouth, the tone seemed extremely serious.

So September Frost Leaf fell silent.

In the middle of the night, a message came back from the other end of the chat window:

"It's all in the past."

In a word, the tone was plain and bland, but it seemed to be forcibly suppressed as if he was covering up something.

Lin Feng looked at it and smiled:

"yes, it's in the past."

"But to this day, there are many, many people who remember that you back then, don't they."

September Frost Leaf was silent again.

Looking at the chat window that had not replied to the message for a long time, Lin Feng also did not continue to type and say something, his eyes looked out of the window over the computer screen, the moonlight was bright, and the gaze in his eyes became a little distant for a moment.

back then.

……

Since the S1 season, the national professional e-sports circle has developed and risen little by little, and there are two positions where top professional players with outstanding talent and strength have been constantly emerging.

One is the mid-laner position.

The other is the ADC bit.

In the latter position, from the S1 season to the current S6 season, the names that can be remembered by the national server players are not few, but not too many, but all professional e-sports players who stand out in the ADC position can write a strong stroke in the history of the national server lol e-sports.

The "Silent Word" of the S1 season.

"September Frost Leaf" from the S2-S3 season.

"Wild Snow Night Song" from the S4-S5 season.

Three people.

The strongest ADC player in the national server for three terms.

In the past 5 seasons, it is such a trio who has supported the highest level of the ADC position in the national server lol professional e-sports circle, representing the strongest strength of the national professional ADC players, even if it is put on the world professional e-sports arena, it can be called a well-deserved world-class ADC.

In fact, the ADC member of the GOD-Hand of God team, "Arasaki Night Song", is the most senior of the three, and he is also slightly inferior to the first two in terms of strength and record.

"Silent words" is Lin Feng's companion teammate Amer back then.

It was one of the top three ADCs in the world that year, and one of the five strongest teams in the national server who had reached the final finals of the World S League with Lin Feng and several others.

In the later S2 and S3 seasons, although there were not as many ADC players at the real top level in the world's professional e-sports circle at that time as there were in the S1 season, as one of the strongest ADC players in the national service, September Frost Leaf was recognized as the world's strongest ADC in that era, an honor that neither his predecessor nor successor had ever won.

That's true glory.

It's not that just because you say "past", you can really "pass".

After a long silence, in the chat window, Lin Feng sent another message:

"I didn't expect you to retire so early."

In fact, as soon as the retirement statement of Frost Leaf came out in September at that time, it shocked the national service, and almost everyone could not have imagined that Ye Shen, who was still at the peak of his career at that time, would make this choice.

But at this moment, such a sentence came out of Lin Feng's mouth, and it carried more weight.

September Frost Leaf was silent, and replied in the middle of the night:

"It's been two seasons, and it's pretty much the same."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows a little when he saw it, and asked rhetorically:

"Almost?"

"What do you mean almost?"

The ultimate dream of any professional esports player is always to stand on the championship stage of the World S-League and win the trophy that symbolizes the highest honor of the League of Legends.

So there is no such ambiguity as "almost".

Only to get it, or not to get it.

There is another option -

It's called "giving up."

After the two questioning messages were sent, Lin Feng suddenly felt a little tired again, because he was in a tired mood.

He knew that he didn't have any qualifications or position to question the old friend who accused him.

Everyone has the right to make their own choices.

It's just that September Frostleaf has chosen a path that may make his life easier and more comfortable.

Even if it was the opposite of his dream of being a professional esports player.

Lin Feng, who was in a tired mood, was reluctant to continue this topic, and sent another message:

"It's not early, let's talk next time."

"Thank you tonight."

There was silence on the other end of the chat window for a moment, and finally a message was replied:

"You're welcome."

No more replies and explanations than anything else.

The last two sentences of the conversation actually seemed quite polite and polite, but somehow, there seemed to be a faint sense of strangeness between the two.
