Why did the team lose?
In any professional club, such questions would be returned to the tactical analysis room of the training base after various competitions. Then, the club's coach, team leader, and players would sit together to analyze and discuss.
For Morning Star, he had also been asked this question countless times. He had also thought about it countless times during self-reflection after the end of the competition.
He had long been incomparably familiar with all kinds of reasons, and he could easily blurt them out without thinking.
But at this moment, in the face of Senior Number One's question in front of him, he subconsciously became serious and began to think seriously again.
Because he knew that Senior Number One in front of him was not just waiting for an ordinary perfunctory answer.
In fact, to be able to sit in front of this senior and listen to his teachings and receive pointers was an opportunity that he needed to cherish. He didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless or careless. Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
Why did the team lose in the previous team mock competition …?
He frowned and thought hard and seriously. After a while, Morning Star cautiously and slowly opened his mouth.
"It should have started from the middle stage.
"After the opposing purple team's ADC Mouse developed, he quickly grouped up. Their lineup has a higher tolerance for mistakes in team battles than us, and it's easier for them to gain an advantage.
"The other side seized the opportunity to take the initiative and win several times. As time went on, it became more and more difficult for our blue team to fight.
"My Kassadin developed well in the early and middle stages, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity in team battles.
"And I, as the core, didn't play a role. Basically, the team couldn't win against the other side."
After some analysis.
To be precise, it was more like a self-analysis and interpretation.
At this moment, Morning Star was extremely frank and sincere. He didn't find any excuses or shirk responsibility to save his face. He analyzed all his mistakes without any reservation.
Number One listened and nodded noncommittally. He didn't give any more comments and just continued to ask:
"Why can't your Kassadin find a chance?"
Hmm?
This question actually stunned Morning Star.
This was because he had rarely encountered such a question.
Why can't I find a chance?
How should I answer this?
…
For a moment, Morning Star subconsciously had an illusion, wondering if Senior Number One in front of him was deliberately asking such an unreasonable question to teach him a lesson. If he couldn't find the opportunity, then he couldn't find it. However, he quickly eliminated this suspicion of Senior Number One and threw it to the back of his mind.
No.
Given Senior Number One's status and experience, there was no way he would ask such a pointless question. The situation was definitely not as simple as he thought it to be.
But why?
There was a rare hesitant expression on his face. Morning Star deliberated for a long time before he carefully spoke again.
"Because … I didn't play well."
As he said that, he quickly added, "If my individual ability is a little stronger, even in a situation like the previous match, I should be able to play the role of carry."
This was equivalent to lowering his head and admitting his mistake.
It was also the simplest way to deal with it.
There was no other reason. It was because he was a noob and his strength was not high enough. This kind of answer could basically solve all the questions.
However, Number One couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Kid, you're quite clever. Admitting your mistake is the first thing you do. Are you trying to fool me?"
Since he said that he was being clever, then he hoped that he wouldn't be exposed.
Once he was exposed, it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed.
Therefore, even Morning Star couldn't help but look a little embarrassed at this time. But then he thought of the question Senior Number One asked him just now, and a stupefied expression appeared on his face again.
"But … Senior, I really don't know how to answer your question."
"The opponent didn't give you a chance, or you're not strong enough — there are only two reasons."
These words made Number One stare at Morning Star for a long time until the latter felt a little uncomfortable. Morning Star couldn't help but sigh.
"So, you little guys of the new generation … really don't live up to expectations."
"All of you —"
"Are you all blockheads who don't know how to be flexible?"
Morning Star, who was recognized as the number one mid in the national server, was called a blockhead. Even if he was extremely respectful to the senior in front of him, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed and indignant. He looked up at Number One and said seriously and solemnly,
"Then, senior, please explain."
Looking up at Morning Star, who had a faint look of indignation on his face, Number One smiled and said calmly,
"In the previous training match, you, Kassadin, developed the best during the middle stage, right?"
Morning Star nodded. "Yes."
"You think that as long as the opponent makes a little mistake, you can directly reap the harvest and play in a rhythm if you get a chance, right?"
"Yes."
"And the opponent is very cautious. It's very difficult for you to find a chance by yourself."
"Yes."
"Of course, you haven't given up looking for a chance. You've been working hard to find a breakthrough and did your best as an assassin, Kassadin. So in fact, although you lost this match, you actually don't think there's any problem with your performance as a mid. You just really lack a chance and can't sell it."
Morning Star subconsciously agreed to the previous few questions. When he heard the last sentence, he was about to nod out of habit, but he suddenly sensed that something was wrong and forcibly stopped the word "yes" in his mouth.
Then, he saw Number One looking at him with a smirk on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there something wrong?"
After hesitating for a long time, Morning Star finally gritted his teeth and admitted,
"Yes."
Number One nodded.
"You're right."
"I said from the beginning that as a mid, I can give you 80 points for your performance in the previous team training match."
"But I've also said that as a captain, you're a failure."
At this moment, the smile on Number One's face finally faded slightly, and his tone slowly changed from playfulness to indifference, even with a hint of coldness.
"You're the captain."
"Not just a mid."
"If you're just focused on your position, then the choices you made before are indeed not wrong. An AP assassin hero should patiently wait for the opportunity to hit the target in one shot. If there's no chance, you shouldn't act rashly. That's how it should be."
"But don't forget that your more important responsibility is the captain of the team."
"You have to shoulder far more than that."
"Don't act if there's no chance?"
"Everyone else can say these kinds of words and reasons, but you can't. Because all the orders have to come from you. If you wait passively in a disadvantageous situation, you'll bring everyone to die with you. The opponents are your teammates in your own club. In that situation, how can you expect the other party to find a conscience and leave an opportunity for a well-developed Kassadin?"
The merciless reprimand made Morning Star's face turn a little pale. His emotions fluctuated slightly, but he still spoke with some difficulty.
"But, what else can I do?"
Because …
There was really no chance.
Even if he was the captain and not just a mid, could it change that objective reality?
"Well, of course not."
Number One narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the most dazzling junior in the new generation of esports in the national server in front of him.
"But because you're the captain."
"So if you can't wait for an opportunity, you have to take the initiative to look for it."
"I can't find it."
"I must find it at all costs!"
