Chapter 10: Giving up is the real end.
Or perhaps, does cause and effect truly exist in this world?
I haven't played much League of Legends for a month or two, but GodV, who is in Diamond rank, beat Knight, who is third in the Korean server, and he trains intensely every day.
The relegation battle has been replayed, which is really ridiculous.
Watching Wei Shen's departing figure, Jiang Xia knew perfectly well what kind of mentality he was.
He was stubborn, unwilling to accept defeat, yet also indifferent.
If you want a way out, Jiangxia will give you one, really.
He's not a child, why is he arguing about these things?
But what happens after you give it to them? What if you just say you don't want to fight anymore and then you just quit?
Being proud is fine, caring about face is acceptable, and being unwilling to accept defeat is even more justified.
The problem is, if professional players lose interest in the game itself and give up, then that's truly the end for them.

"Brother Jiang?"
Knight was taken aback when he saw Jiang Xia walk in.
"Why aren't you asleep so late?"
Jiang Xia stared at the screen in front of him. Hmm, he was playing Syndra.
"I'm about to go to sleep, but I want to practice a little more. I'm going to play soon... I have to master this champion. It turns out Ekko isn't so easy to beat."
He felt like, damn it, he'd been tricked by Otto.
After losing, he watched a lot of videos of Wei Shen's Syndra games and realized that he had been too naive before.
"And... I don't know why, but I felt pressured today, and it kept increasing until I didn't even know what I was doing anymore. I don't even know what I was afraid of..."
Jiang Xia didn't say anything, which seemed to confirm his own thoughts.
The "coward" personality trait has manifested...
Then I saw Knight's current mood status from the system.
Knight: [Deeply silent]
That won't do.
[Spend 300 points to adjust player Knight's negative mood]
Sure.
Knight: [Stable]
At the same time, Jiangxia spoke up:
"It's good to have pressure in games, but you can't just feel the pressure. You need to think about how to eliminate that pressure. I've said this before."
"Then it will definitely be good to practice. There are still many things you lack in your hero pool, especially in the area of mage carries."
"Yeah, Brother Jiang." Knight smiled from the bottom of his heart.
I don't know why, but I suddenly feel much better.
To be honest, he just couldn't accept that he had lost, and he couldn't accept his own performance, which was still flawed under pressure.
I used to think that once I reached the top spot on the Korean server, I would be invincible. But after today's solo match with GodV, what happened?
He understood that he still had a very long way to go before facing true masters.
"I'm going to sleep after this game. I will definitely expand my hero pool in the future, and I won't get arrogant at all."
Jiang Xia opened his mouth, he only remembered that Knight in his previous life had never been this hardworking, pure, or positive...
On the contrary, there's been quite a lot of negative news.
And now... the positive aspects are making me feel uncomfortable.
It's not that this is bad, it just feels like it lacks a youthful vibe, after all, it's only 16.
Jiang Xia would then wonder, is it his own problem?
Did I influence him? Then I'm really bad.
"It's okay, you're still young, you have a long future ahead of you, take your time to improve, there's no need to rush."
Jiang Xia suddenly felt a pang of heartache, and for a moment she no longer thought that the so-called "cowardly" personality was anything serious.
Take it slow.
"You said that Faker had already won the world championship when he was 17 years old."
"Forehead."
Knight continued:
"Brother Jiang, you brought me directly to the LPL, and to such a strong team at that. I know you've helped me so much, but I can't rely on you anymore."
I will do my best to stay here, and I will do my best to win, and keep winning.
Jiang Xia suddenly felt that Knight was a stranger; this was the first time he had said these things to her.
"Yes, you have your own path to walk, and I believe in you."
"Remember, be confident. Don't think of yourself as a rookie. You are a genius mid laner. Trust my opinion, you are now better than at least 90% of the current mid laners."
Looking at yet another large pancake, Knight happily ate it.
He felt he needed to be more confident.
At least, we can't back down verbally.
Like:
If Teacher Chen Bo asks him if the game is easy to play.
First, we have to say the words "type whatever you want" before we talk about anything else.
Instead of saying "I don't know, let's give it a try"... that sounds less impressive.
..............
May 25th, the day before the start of the Summer Split.
The LPL Summer Split consists of 12 teams. The regular season is divided into two groups, A and B, and consists of three stages (intra-group matches, inter-group matches, and the second round of intra-group matches).
LGD has moved up to Group B.
The opponents in the first round are WE, EDG, VG, RNG, and OMG.
Group A opponents include IM, Snake, GT, IG, SAT, and NB.
The opening match is LGD vs. WE.
This has made LGD fans somewhat pessimistic.
No, how can we possibly win like this...?
[The newcomer attacked Xiye right from the start; let's mourn for him.]
I don't know how to win.
It's okay, losing to WE is acceptable.
[The clan leader has been kicked out, and you're still being optimistic? You think you can accept this and that, but your bottom line is just getting lower and lower!]
Public opinion is not optimistic about LGD's opening match.
But actually, Pyl, who is always at the forefront of internet surfing, doesn't feel any pressure at all.
In fact, their win rate in scrims against WE has been quite high these days.
Furthermore, yesterday, under the guidance of the coaching staff, they even conducted a pre-match simulation specifically targeting WE.
So the next day, Pyl got up and went downstairs humming a little tune.
Don't ask, the answer is simply optimism!
Then Wei Shen left, saying he was going on a trip to clear his head, but it's unclear whether he was just being stubborn.
But Pyl thought it would be good for Wei Zhen to go out for a walk, otherwise it would be quite awkward for everyone.
On one hand, there was the scrutiny of his old friends, and on the other hand, they all recognized the potential of this young mid-laner.
Being caught in the middle is truly a lose-lose situation.
"Damn, how long have you guys been up?"
Looking around the training room, with the three coaches, the mid-laner, and Marin all in place, Pyl wondered if he should hurry up and call that bastard Eimy down.
Never mind, let him sleep a little longer. That way, it'll make me seem quite diligent.
"It won't be long, let's warm up for a bit, the match is about to start."
"..."
Once everyone had arrived, they warmed up their hands and then boarded the base's commercial vehicle to head towards the venue.
On the bus, Pyl was being very sarcastic.
"Playing against Xiye shouldn't be too difficult."
Jiang Xia coughed.
"Stop talking nonsense. Just like we talked before, WE's mid and jungle are very aggressive. Seize their opportunities, but don't fall into their rhythm."
In the mid-game, they clearly neglected the 957's sideline, which could be their breakthrough point...
In short, WE's game rhythm was not smooth, and the five players' teamwork was not very good.
Losing points and disrupting rhythm is commonplace for them; otherwise, WE wouldn't have been in first place with such frequent breaks in average time during the Spring Split.
"Relax, just do your best, just like in practice matches."
Tabe cheered everyone on, then looked at Knight.
"Zhuo Ding, Xi Ye's playstyle is very extreme. Once he sees an opportunity, he will seek a solo kill. His playstyle is very aggressive. And since you are a newcomer, he will be even more aggressive, but this will also expose his weaknesses."
"Yes, I know." Knight nodded. In fact, Tabe had already discussed these analyses in yesterday's meeting.
Even though it was repeated again, Knight didn't find it annoying.
He needs these to distract himself.
