Chapter 9 Cowardly Personality
Chapter 9 Cowardly Personality
On the other side, LGD.
Knight just kept grinning like an idiot as he watched the video Jiang Xia made for him.
I was thinking to myself, "Am I really that detail-oriented?"
He swore that he didn't think that much about some of his actions; most of them were just subconscious intuition.
My intuition told me that this was the right thing to do, and I never expected it to be interpreted so professionally.
But whatever, if Brother Jiang praised me, it means he was right.
"Holy crap, Coach, when are you going to make me a video too? Look at how popular Zhuo Ding is lately, his Weibo followers are skyrocketing." Eimy said with a sly grin.
He also wants to gain followers, specifically female followers.
In Pyl's words: "Damn, how depressed is Lao Xie? I feel scared even when I share a bedroom with him."
Jiang Xia said seriously, "Yes, Lao Xie has it. I've even thought of a title: 'First-person perspective on Eimy, the world's number one jungler, dominating Peanut.'"
Upon hearing this, Eimy perked up, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Hearing the notification sound in his mind that the system points had been credited to his account, Jiang Xia felt extremely gratified.
It has to be Lao Xie; he never skimps on eating pancakes.
"Bro, if you ask me, your goal right now is to get a spot with Peanut first," Pyl clicked his tongue.
"Grass!"
After some playful roughhousing, the training match was about to begin.
Jiang Xia walked to the side and came to a table.
The person sitting here is Wei Shen.
"Wei Shen, are you playing this match?"
Pyl's eyes darted around, and she exchanged a glance with Eimy.
What does this mean?
How would I know?
GodV remained fearless, taking off his headphones.
"Forget it, I told you I don't want to play anymore, my hand doesn't feel good either."
Yes, you can be arrogant enough.
"The competition is about to start, are you sure you've thought this through?"
"I'm sure, you guys just keep fighting, okay?"
After saying that, Wei Shen put on his headphones.
He's been in a bad mood these past few days. He said he wouldn't play in the Summer Split, but the problem is that no one has actually tried to persuade him otherwise.
The management ignored the conditions I requested, and now they're putting pressure on me with this kid. It's ridiculous.
He was even thinking about when he could just move out of the base and get some proper rest.
Most importantly, he felt that League of Legends was becoming increasingly boring.
He wanted to switch games, to find one that could reactivate his adrenaline.
Jiang Xia hummed in response, his expression unreadable, and then turned to instruct everyone to begin training.
IMP glanced at Wei Shen, his little face pouting cutely.
"Damn... Little Wei really isn't playing with us anymore..."
Marin didn't react much, but she looked down on people who backed down at the last minute.
......
The last day of the offseason.
Most clubs have officially announced their starting lineups for the summer season.
It's worth noting that Uzi's return to RNG completes the final piece of the new RNG roster.
Everyone has the highest expectations for this RNG team.
On one side is Xiaohu, who just became famous for solo killing Faker, and on the other side is Uzi, who has long been known as the world's best AD carry.
Such a double C is bound to spark speculation.
EDG also brought in Scout, a substitute for Faker from T1's youth academy, to stabilize their mid-lane dominance during the summer split.
WE will continue with their original lineup.
Then, they also paid attention to mid-to-upper-tier teams like Snake, IM, and NB.
Of course, LGD is still the biggest.
The movements were so numerous they were exaggerated.
Netizens took a closer look at the official lineup announcement posted on the official Weibo account.
Yes, it's the same as before. Head coach: Jiang Xia; assistant coach: Heart; analyst: Tabe.
It's the "Members" section.
In the mid lane, there was only one ID – Knight.
[Wasn't it supposed to be a rotation? Where are the players from Godway?]
Wow, he really retired.
[Haha, he should have retired after reaching the round of 16 last year.]
[Guys, LGD's official Weibo account updated again, saying that Godve will be taking a break for a while due to a hand injury!]
That's really true.
[Injured? A complete deserter!]
[Heh, let's wait and see how this new mid laner performs.]
Wei Shen's fans were severely impacted, either bombarding the official Weibo account with accusations of the club's lack of discretion, or leaving messages on Wei Shen's personal account demanding he switch teams...
There is much commotion in the outside world.
At the LGD base.
Knight was surprisingly calm upon learning that he would not be a starter in the new season.
These days, he could sense that Wei Shen was acting strangely, but he didn't know what was going on or what to do.
Anyway... just listen to Brother Jiang.
But even as this day finally arrived, Wei Shen still felt a strange sense of resentment.
Yes, it was his own choice not to fight, but... why did you agree to my choice?
It's as if I'm no longer important; it's a very complicated feeling.
Deep down, he actually hoped that Knight's training these days had been ineffective.
The management had no choice but to find their own way...
He needs a way out...
It wasn't because of a so-called hand injury that he wasn't even on the summer season roster, haha.
So, after the training match and the post-match review,
Wei Shen called out to Knight: "Your rank is really high, right? Want to solo me?"
Knight was pleasantly surprised by his senior's invitation and found it impossible to refuse.
"OK."
Pyl and Eimy were instantly wide awake, and Marin and IMP also stayed behind with great interest.
Jiang Xia propped his head up and watched.
Wei Shen pulled out his signature Syndra, while Knight stuck with Ekko.
The difference is that Wei Shen is not Otto; he doesn't receive any of the pressure he needs.
From level one to level three, there wasn't a single moment that Knight could relax.
The more Knight played, the more nervous he became, as if an invisible pressure was weighing on him.
Not long after, Knight lost.
Jiang Xia frowned, not because he couldn't accept Knight losing, but because he couldn't accept losing like this.
After securing level 6, there's a significant chance to dodge Syndra's ultimate with a well-timed ultimate.
He also does that, so why doesn't he?
Instantly, this reminded Jiang Xia of some of Knight's unpleasant nicknames from his previous life.
Is it really because they became cowardly under pressure and dared not operate?
Knight stared blankly at the screen.
He always thought Ekko could easily beat Syndra...
You lost.
After saying that, Wei Shen left; he needed to rest.
After doing all this, Wei Shen felt he had regained some face in front of his brothers and was in a good mood.
He even thought it would be even better if this had been played live.
He glanced at Jiang Xia and the others, as if to say: Third in the Korean server? A prodigy? That's all?
Are all kids these days this aggressive? If he hadn't gotten so worked up, things might have turned out very differently...
"Why the hell is Wei Zhen taking this so seriously?"
Pyl makes a comment.
"It's alright, Zhuo Ding. This guy was just lucky. You were just a little bit short."
"Solo doesn't mean anything," IMP said with a smile, trying to comfort him.
Tabe looked at Jiang Xia, who was in a daze, and felt a strange sense of emotion. How could he win like this?
Indeed, Wei Shen is still that genius boy.
Tabe felt it was a pity; after spending the last few days with Wei Shen, he felt that Wei Shen was very depressed.
It's a complete waste of your talent, why do it?
Jiang Xia was still thinking about that question.
Zhuo Ding's own personality weakness is that he is unable to adjust in time under high pressure.
But I had specifically trained for this beforehand, even doing a 1v1 solo match against him, which was much more intense.
They didn't stop training until Knght's maneuvers no longer distorted.
It seems I underestimated the situation.
