Previously, when they were still in the training base of the Rapid Water Club, a certain someone's complaints and complaints towards Number Three were enough to make the members of the Rapid Water Team who were present at that time tremble with fear. They were afraid that this reckless little brother would anger Senior Number Three.
Then, when they saw that Senior Number 3, whom they respected and feared, didn't seem to be angry at all, all the Rapid Water Club members were dumbfounded.
Because they had never seen anyone who didn't give Senior Number 3 any face, and in the end, Senior Number 3 didn't care at all.
It was simply a super treatment that made people gasp in amazement and envy.
But —
If the previous situation was compared to the current situation.
But it was nothing at all.
If the Rapid Water Club members were present at this time and saw Number 3 showing a satisfied look and even reaching out his hand to pat Shi Hang's shoulder and say a few words of praise and encouragement …
Without a doubt, those Rapid Water Club members' eyeballs would directly pop out of their sockets!
What the f * ck!?
Senior Number 3 actually took the initiative to pat someone's shoulder to express satisfaction?
He even directly gave a verbal compliment!?
If the Rapid Water Club members really learned of this news, their worldview would probably collapse. How was this possible? In their understanding, Senior Number 3 was the most terrifying existence. Usually, they had to be careful even when they held their breath, afraid that they would be taught a lesson by Senior Number 3 if something went wrong. How could they dare to think that Senior Number 3, who was so strict that it made people's hair stand on end, would one day take the initiative to praise someone?
He wouldn't even dare to dream about it!!
But it just so happened that this scene happened at this very moment.
So even Shi Hang himself, as the person involved, was a little flattered. He even wondered if he was hallucinating after drinking a little tonight.
Senior Number 3 …
Praised, praised him?
Praised him for his, his, his progress!?
On the side, Number Five looked at Shi Hang who was inexplicably surprised and couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Yes."
"Ah Hang has also grown a lot. I have a whole new level of respect for you."
Scratch. Eye. Face. Look.
At this moment, if one could express one's mood using the image of a manga, Shi Hang felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a pink arrow of love. His whole body fell into a pile of pink and soft cotton candy. He felt so light that he almost overflowed with happiness.
Even, even Senior Number Five … no, even Sister Xiao Wu praised him like that!
Damn it.
What S6 Grand Finals? What World Championships?
At this moment, he was too lazy to think about fighting for it.
He felt that just being able to receive praise from these seniors … his life was completely worth it!
"Alright, alright. You'll be going to heaven if you keep praising him." Number One's voice sounded with a faint smile, finally pulling Shi Hang back from the ocean of happiness. "However, Xiao Wu and Number Three are right. Compared to back then, Ah Hang has indeed improved."
Shi Hang snapped out of his daze and quickly waved his hands modestly.
"No, no, no. Seniors, you're overpraising me!"
"Overpraising me?" Number One shook his head. "Not at all. Some words are yours if you deserve it."
As he spoke, he paused and his gaze fell on Shi Hang. The smile that appeared on his face seemed to have a deeper meaning.
"On the other hand …
"If I didn't hear what you said tonight …
"Then, you're going to disappoint me."
…
In the end, Shi Hang left with his club's Coach Fu and Team Leader Sun with excitement, joy, and a little bit of confusion.
The excitement and joy was naturally due to the appreciation and praise from the seniors. At the same time, it was also because he had finally found the fighting spirit and fighting spirit he should have. It gave him an important bargaining chip for the upcoming S6 Grand Finals.
As for the confusion …
It was because before they parted, Number One's last few words contained a deeper meaning that he could not fully understand.
Vaguely, he felt as if Senior Number One had not completely revealed something.
However, whether he figured it out or not, it didn't matter anymore, and it wouldn't affect him anymore.
At least for now, he had made up his mind.
His fighting spirit and fighting spirit had been found.
Just as Number One, Three, and Five had said, as temporary coaches, they had done all they could. All that was left was for the team members to put their lives on the line.
Watching Shi Hang and the others leave, Lin Feng turned to look at Number One. He could not help but ask curiously.
"Senior."
"You seemed to be … implying something?"
Number One looked at Lin Feng and raised an eyebrow.
"You felt it?"
Lin Feng patted his chest. "Of course!"
Number One gave him a half-smile. "Then tell me, what was it that I was hiding?"
Someone thought hard for a while, then gave up decisively.
"Can't guess!"
"Don't be so smug if you can't guess." Number One then turned to Li Shiyi and asked with a smile, "What about you, Shiyi?"
Li Shiyi looked a little uneasy at the question. He also thought hard for a while, but in the end, he could only mumble.
"Senior, I … I can't think of it either."
Number One smiled.
"It's nothing. It's normal.
But actually … the reason is pretty simple. "
He leisurely raised the glass in front of him and drank the last bit of beer left in the glass. Then, when his beautiful fiancée cast a reproachful gaze at him, he revealed an awkward expression on his face. He quickly put down the glass and whispered, "Don't worry, don't worry, this is the last glass." Then, Number One's expression returned to normal and he casually spoke again.
He said casually, "The most important thing for a professional esports player is their mentality.
They must have confidence in themselves.
No matter what the situation is, they must always be able to maintain unconditional confidence in themselves.
"Only in this way can we truly move forward without fear."
"Right now, Ah Hang is doing very well. However, back then, his mentality had already changed once."
Lin Feng and Li Shiyi were stunned when they heard this.
Lin Feng was still confused.
But Li Shiyi was one step ahead of him and came to a realization.
"Senior, you mean …"
Number One nodded and looked at Lin Feng. "In the beginning, Ah Hang didn't play the mid position, right?"
Finally, this sentence completely woke Lin Feng up. A look of realization appeared on Number One's face.
"Ah … right!"
This was also a past that very few people knew.
In today's Chinese esports circle, including these professional players, not to mention normal players, there was no way they would know that back in the S1 season, the number two mid laner in the Chinese server, "Ai Di", was once not a mid laner.
It was because of a certain matter that he had to change his position. He was now a mid player.
"That's …"
"Because of Ah Mo."
Lin Feng subconsciously blurted out.
That's right.
When Shi Hang first started playing League of Legends, he first played as an ADC. Later on, he encountered Lin Feng's former ADC teammates in the top lane and suffered crushing defeats at the bottom lane. It was only then that he decided to switch to the mid lane.
"You remember now?"
Number One looked at Lin Feng and smiled, then continued in a leisurely manner.
"Of course, it's not a bad thing to clearly recognize the scope of your abilities and what you're good at, and change your main playstyle."
But it's not entirely a good thing.
Because when you made the choice to change your position, you made a compromise and took a step back. "
Seeing that Lin Feng was about to open his mouth to refute, Number One raised a finger and shook it, stopping Lin Feng's intention.
He calmly added, "Taking a step back is not a problem."
"Indeed. Now it's proven that Ah Hang played well after switching to the mid."
"But —"
As if pausing for a moment, Number One calmly finished his sentence.
"In my opinion, a professional player …"
"At most, at most."
"In the course of his career, he can only take a step back."
