Team IM members resumed their line of questionings again when everyone entered the game lobby—
“You’re that genius from before, aren’t you?”
“It must be. Are you playing tomorrow?”
“I’m feeling optimistic about you.”
Leon Batton refused to reply to them, seemingly unfriendly on purpose.
Meanwhile, his teammate, Stewart, responded, “Yes, he is our genius teammate.”
With that reply, the public chat went wild—
“D*mn! He’s the greatest of all time!”
“Can I add you as my friend? Do you have your own account?”
“Good luck for tomorrow, genius.”
Leon remained stubbornly silent.
However, players from Team IM were very excited—
“He is cold.”
“I realize all talented Top Solo players have that in common.”
“That’s right. Alex used to be like that, too. He was known as the cold king of Top Lane.”
Leon couldn’t resist replying at last. “...”
Meanwhile, news that Team XS’s genius Top Solo dominated Team IM during their training match also spread throughout Weibo and ESPN, resulting in the League of Legends becoming viral on Team XS’s community forum and ESPN.
There were numerous posts with ‘Team XS’s genius’ as the title on both platforms—
“I’m looking forward to Team XS’s genius Top Solo's performance.”
“LPL Region hasn’t produced a Top Solo as good as Alex for many years. Do you reckon that person is Team XS’s new genius?”
Instead, he opted for more lightweight damage dealers. That habit of selecting champions was identical to Alex's.
People might even believe that Leon was Alex if he'd concealed his ID and claimed that he was.
“I’ll do my best tomorrow, don’t worry,” Leon assured his trainer calmly.
Alex smiled confidently.
He knew that Leon would do well.
Their training sessions lasted until eleven o’clock at night when the team members started feeling hungry because they skipped dinner.
Alex stood up and looked at everyone. “Come on, team. Let’s go and eat.”
Everyone stood up abruptly and followed their trainer into the dining room.
Soon, the lady chef served them a sumptuous meal.
