SEC Chapter 19: Accumulation of Conflicts
Chapter 19: Accumulation of Conflicts
"Looks like I need to talk to Ning as soon as possible."
Chen Song rested his chin on his left hand: "If all else fails, we should break them up sooner rather than later."
Having come from the same sunny, innocent background, he understood the mental state of these contestants all too well.
It wasn't just these e-sports professional players; before he transmigrated, he also saw some online novelists who were depressed and despondent after their divorces.
The root cause is that Xiao Chu Nan is too sunny and lives in a well.
It's not that the sunny Xiao Chu Nan is bad.
If you meet the right person, then there's nothing more to say.
But if he doesn't meet anyone, or if he does meet bad people, then the sunny Xiao Chu Nan's final outcome won't be too good.
Similarly, it's like a good girl meeting a bad boy.
Scroll down the mouse wheel to keep your eye on Rookie.
"Rookie also has a girlfriend, but they seem to be doing okay."
According to reports, Rookie and Xiaoyu began their secret relationship in 2017.
Moreover, judging from his performance in the Spring Split and MSI, Rookie has maintained a very good competitive state.
Not only does it rank first in average damage output and damage conversion rate, but it also has maximum lane dominance.
A stable relationship like this, lasting a little over a year, almost two years, doesn't really affect one's state of mind.
The worst thing is when couples are newly in love; as the saying goes, newlyweds water each other every day.
When Chen Song saw JackeyLove's profile, he was also immediately impressed.
That's right, it was a real eye-opener!
According to the data, JackeyLove has been at his peak performance so far in 2019.
As a top AD carry in the LPL, he has strong lane dominance, dares to deal damage in team fights, and has a stable mentality.
He has excellent synergy with Baolan, and they crushed imp+Lvmao in the Spring Split Finals, winning many crucial team fights. He is IG's stable core player.
As for Baolan, he's still in good form and has some bright spots, but he seems to be starting to become unstable.
After reviewing the contestants' information, Chen Song had a general understanding of the situation.
As for head coach Karam and Mafa, he glanced at them briefly and then closed the information.
......
Five o'clock in the evening.
Chen Song arrived at the training room alone.
Chen Song originally intended to rest in his room until the next day, but after seeing the contestants' information, he couldn't stay in bed for a moment and arrived at the training room right on time.
He saw from the club's schedule that dinner was at 6 p.m., so he made a point of coming to the training room at that time.
There was a whiteboard of moderate size in the training room, on which the daily schedule was clearly written.
17:00-17:30: Training matches end, free time for ranked games/rest/ranking up.
Sitting on the left, JackeyLove is seriously playing ranked games.
Baolan, who was next to him, was staring blankly at the computer.
As for TheShy, who was facing away, he had just finished a ranked game and was now playing ARAM.
Like JackeyLove, Rookie is also playing ranked games.
Ning, on the other hand, had his computer screen turned off and was facing Chen Song, looking down at his phone.
And a smile would occasionally appear at the corners of his mouth.
Turning his gaze away, Chen Song walked towards Karam's location.
"카람코치, 앞으로많이가르쳐주세요!"
(Coach Karam, please continue to guide me in the future!)
Chen Song stood beside Karam with a kind smile and extended his right hand.
When Chen Song took the initiative to greet him, Karam, being Korean, placed particular importance on workplace etiquette.
As Karam kicked his legs back, he quickly stood up from his chair, extended his right hand to shake hands with Chen Song, and said, "With a tactical analyst like Chen Song, who is proficient in both languages, joining us should make communication much easier in the future."
Even though Chen Song is 1.8 meters tall, he looks like a teacher and student next to Karam, who is 193 meters tall.
Releasing his grip, Karam continued, "Looking at your resume, you've worked at LNG, so I don't need to reiterate the daily work of a tactical analyst, right?"
Chen Song nodded: "I've seen the work schedule Coach Mafa sent me, and it's pretty much the same as what I did at LNG. If Coach Karam has any specific arrangements later, just let me know."
Karam nodded: "It's a pleasure working with you!"
After exchanging a few casual words of greeting, Chen Song went straight to Ning and asked, "All the other teammates are playing ranked games seriously, so why are you the only one who turned off your computer and is sitting here smiling?"
"What, are you in a relationship?"
Ning looked up at Chen Song and smiled, "I'm a little tired after the training match. It's free time now, so I'll relax and go have dinner."
"Are you sure it's because you're tired and not because you want to be in a relationship?"
Chen Song joked, "Want to sit down and have dinner together later?"
"sure!"
Ning nodded and prepared to get up: "Let's go over now. It's rest time now, so we can sit for a while and then we can eat."
"No rush."
After Chen Song finished speaking, he walked over to TheShy and asked, "Shy, shall we have dinner together later?"
Chen Song learned the phrase "Shy" from the internet.
To be fair, this nickname is quite effective at breaking the ice.
TheShy smiled shyly: "Okay...okay."
......
18 minute later.
At Chen Song's invitation, TheShy, Ning, and the other two sat together at the same table.
TheShy and Chen Song sat on one side, while Ning sat alone opposite them.
Seeing that neither of them seemed inclined to speak, Chen Song stepped forward and said, "I'm curious, how did you two go from being inseparable to being so estranged? Can you tell me the reasons?"
"Ning, you go first."
Ning was silent for a few seconds, her fingertips pressing on the table intentionally or unintentionally, her tone tinged with helplessness: "It's not exactly estrangement, it's just that there's not much to say."
He paused, glanced at TheShy who was looking down, and continued, lowering his voice considerably: "We had such a smooth run in S8. No matter how we coordinated, we could win. We could invade the jungle, tower dive in the top lane, or even win when we outnumbered the enemy."
"But after MSI, the version changed, but the gameplay remained the same. It's just that we kept losing, and that's when the contradictions emerged."
"As a jungler, I need to control the jungle, control the dragon, and monitor the overall rhythm of the game. I can't just camp the top lane the whole time. But he's pushing the lane too aggressively. He always tries to push the minion wave under the enemy tower and doesn't do any vision control. Now the enemy has figured out his playstyle, and their mid and jungle are constantly ganking top."
"If I go to help, sometimes the minion wave is poorly positioned, and tower diving can easily lead to trouble, resulting in one death and one feed. After the game, I'll be criticized for my poor rhythm. If I don't go to help, the top lane gets caught out and loses all its laning advantage, and then people will think that I, as the jungler, am not taking care of the top lane."
As Ning spoke, his emotions gradually became agitated: "It's not that I don't want to help the top laner, it's just that it's really difficult. I want to farm the jungle faster and affect the mid and bot lanes of the whole team, but he only wants to exert extreme pressure in lane."
"Too much communication in the game can easily lead to friction, and after a while, people become too lazy to say a word in the game."
After saying this, Ning shut up, lowered her head and ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, clearly having been holding this grudge for a long time.
Chen Song didn't reply immediately upon hearing this. Instead, he turned to TheShy with a gentle expression and asked softly in a soothing tone, "Shy, what about you? What are you thinking?"
