What surprised Lin Feng was a piece of information from QQ.
The person who sent the message was an old friend who could also be said to have not been in touch for a long time.
Said to be an old friend...
Probably not exactly.
After all, in the s1 season of that year, Lin Feng and the rest of the team fought all the way from the national uniform to the world finals. Can't hang up, all kinds of resentment.
So it is more appropriate to use the old opponent's statement.
But even old rivals are of different types.
For example, Shi Hang, such as September Frost Leaf, belong to the same category, and everyone's personal friendship can be considered to be relatively close and familiar.
The other category is purely the rival relationship of the year. Except for the meeting and confrontation on the field, there is no other contact and communication.
So for the latter type of people, Lin Feng, who was the No. 1 mid laner maple in the national service back then, has retired for so many years, and he has long since lost any news in the circle, let alone contacting them actively.
But this time, an old rival from that year found Lin Feng.
It is still a heavyweight existence that is extremely well-known in the world professional e-sports circle.
One of the seven kings of the world.
The first jungler in Taiwan.
He was once recognized as the strongest blind monk in the world.
Assassin Squad Leader—
Read thirteen.
…
The first time Lin Feng and Nian Shisan played against each other was before the s1 world finals. In the end, their national server division had to play a group of Bo3 with the Taiwan division to compete for the only other finals in Asia besides the Korean division. The qualifying places in the competition area.
In that group of bo3 games at that time, Lin Feng naturally won in the end.
But at that time, Nian Shisan's strength and performance in the game also impressed Lin Feng and the others.
We all cherish each other, and naturally we can become friends.
However, Nian Shisan's character is more arrogant and arrogant. He is always worried about losing to Lin Feng and several others... Especially the loss to the jungler "Eleven" of Lin Feng's team, so he is always thinking about looking for it. Opportunity to turn the eleven dry once and be ashamed.
But everyone knows what happened later. Lin Feng retired, and the strongest team recognized by the national service was disbanded. Amo and Aqiu were also no longer heard from each other. Except for Tian Tian, he still stood among the top first-line players. In addition, the jungler Eleven has also become unknown.
As for the "re-fight" bet with Nian Thirteen, it was naturally not mentioned again.
Speaking of which, Lin Feng did not contact Nian Shisan for a long time.
The most recent time was the s5 world finals. After many years, Lin Feng called Tian Tian with his senior No. 3, and Tian Tian bumped into Nian Shisan shortly after the call was hung up—
But at that time, Lin Feng didn't talk to Nian Shisan either.
So this time...
The message sent by Nian Shisan on QQ this time is really the first contact between the two after a few years.
…
"Is there maple!"
"Present or not!"
"I'm thirteen! Have you been idle lately? If you have nothing to do, come play nightingale!!"
"What about relying on people?"
"Don't pretend to be dead! I know you used QQ to be invisible!"
"Go online soon!! You must be here!!"
The following is such a series of information bombardment. Based on Lin Feng's familiarity with Nian Shisan, the latter's character is indeed of this type of chatter. If you ignore him, he can babble long and talk for half an hour, don't stop. Speaking of professional e-sports, it might be more appropriate to be a stand-up comedian.
What really surprised and stunned Lin Feng was that Old Thirteen, who had not been in contact for a long time, would suddenly find him so suddenly.
Second, it is the nightingale mentioned by Nian XIII in the QQ message.
nightingale, meaning "nightingale".
Lin Feng's English level is not bad, and he knows the meaning of the word thrown out by reading thirteen.
But the so-called nightingale...
It left him completely confused and clueless.
After so many years of no contact, the old thirteen suddenly asked him to "play the nightingale"
Is it birding
Speaking of which, is Nightingale a protected animal
Full of messy thoughts, Lin Feng typed back thirteen sentences in the chat window:
"What is hitting the nightingale?"
Not more than three seconds after the message was sent, a "Didi Di Di" reply prompt sounded, and he was still watching QQ while waiting for Lin Feng's reply. :
"I rely on you to be there!"
"I knew you were going to be invisible!!"
"Go! I haven't heard from you for so long, I thought you were really dead!"
It's a lot of grumbling and nonsense again.
Lin Feng was quite accustomed to ignoring these nonsense, and continued to type and ask again:
"What is hitting the nightingale?"
This time, it is only after reading thirteen that I can react:
"Eh? You don't know?"
Immediately, there was contempt:
"I rely on you to not even know this, nightingale!"
"Are you famous in the circle?"
Lin Feng nodded and typed: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I'll leave."
Nian Shisan sent a series of ellipses, and then finally put away the nonsense and began to answer directly:
"Nightingale, you know what 'Nightingale' means. It's a very old tournament -- oh, strictly speaking, it's not a tournament, at least it's different from the professional league."
"It's actually an exchange competition, worldwide."
"We in Taiwan privately call this the Nightingale Dark War."
…
After putting away his chatty personality, Nian Shisan was not at all vague when talking about the business. In a few words, he quickly explained the nightingale and Lin Feng clearly.
The so-called nightingale, in the thirteen words "nightingale dark battle", is indeed not an ordinary professional league.
It's not even right to say it's a semi-professional game.
Because this is just an online exchange competition, there is no venue, no awards, no rankings, or even the organizer.
But the specifications of this Nightingale's dark battle are not low.
Because the people who can participate in it are almost all the top people in the world's professional e-sports circle.
Some are active pros.
Some of them have already retired, but they also had a brilliant record back then, and their strength is still not to be underestimated by anyone.
Nightingale Dark Battle is a product of such a group of people. It is held every year at the beginning of a new season. It is called "communication and learning". The purpose is to let such a group of top powerhouses in the circle. Through actual combat, we will jointly study and discuss some features of the new version of the new season.
This kind of thing is actually very common. Just like when each new version patch is just released, each professional team club will organize research and discussion, and explore some heroes, play styles and tactics that are most suitable for the new version. The team adapts to the rhythm of the new version faster and better, so as to have better performance and results in the next new professional season.
But nightingale is not organized by special personnel, and the interests are not so clear.
It's just an amateur exchange organized by a group of top players in private.
Of course, because the strength of the members who can participate in the Nightingale's dark battle is very high, and the various actual combat materials discussed in the new version are also very precious, so some professional team coaches will specially find a way to let the members of their own teams participate. Through this exchange meeting, we can obtain first-hand precious materials.
In addition, Nightingale's Dark War has another feature—
"That is, all the participants will not use their real id names."
"Everyone uses vests, basically no one can recognize who."
"Purely rely on strength to learn and communicate."
"That's why it's called 'Dark War'."
Nian Shisan finished explaining to Lin Feng, and finally sent a message:
"How about it?"
"Are you interested?"
