"Ah Xing's style was too conservative in the past, so I asked Lin Feng to coordinate with him and teach him the courage and confidence to take the initiative and fight for victory."
"Nightsong's style looks aggressive enough, but it just so happens that he lacks the calmness and steadiness that an ADC should have. That's why I asked Little Dance to teach him the comprehensive qualities that a truly outstanding ADC should possess."
Number One's tone was still leisurely, as if he was speaking slowly. At this point, he paused for a moment and then shook his head.
"But … these are just skills."
"Skills … no matter which one of you, you don't have to worry about whether or not you can improve through hard work and talent."
"What's really important is something deeper, or should I say, something that might be abstract to you now."
Number One's gaze fell on Li Shiyi who was listening to his teachings seriously.
He smiled and said, "Do you think that with the current strength of us old guys, even if we return to play professionally, we can easily win the S Series World Championship?"
"There's no need for the current national server to chase after a championship trophy for years, right?"
Li Shiyi was caught off guard by such a straightforward question. His face suddenly turned red as he frantically waved his hands.
"No, no … Senior, that's not what I meant …"
Indeed, it sounded like a serious reprimand.
Yes.
The entire national server, with tens of millions of gamers and the entire professional esports circle, had fought for so many years for the championship trophy of the S Series World Finals. They had hoped for it countless times and been disappointed countless times. It was as if this championship trophy was going to become the sore point of every single player in the national server. It was as if they were possessed.
If it was said that there should have been those few existences, such a team could easily, or at least steadily have more than a 70% chance of winning the championship as long as they returned. However, they never made a move and just seemed to be living a comfortable and leisurely life of retirement …
It sounded really, a little irresponsible.
This thought had indeed flashed across Li Shiyi's mind inadvertently. However, he quickly came back to his senses and felt a wave of panic. How could he have such a disrespectful thought? It had to be known that these seniors had almost made glorious achievements for the Chinese professional esports scene in the previous generation. Their contributions to the Chinese esports scene were already unparalleled. The word "irresponsible" … ….
How could he easily put it on the seniors?
No matter how harsh a person was, they shouldn't be so harsh on these legends from the previous generation of the national server.
They had done too much and had done enough.
Of course —
Actually, taking a step back, Li Shiyi didn't want to blame the seniors. Instead, he was more puzzled and perplexed. Because with the seniors' strength … they could have done better.
Of course, he did not have to force them to do it. It was just that with the seniors' deep hopes and expectations for the professional esports circle, how could they completely choose to stay out of this matter?
At the very least, Li Shiyi felt that if he were in Li Shiyi's shoes, if he still had that kind of strength after many years of retirement, he would definitely be willing to help the national server fight for a championship trophy. He would let countless players and the entire LPL Pro League hold their heads high for once.
…
As if he could easily read Li Shiyi's mind, No. 1 smiled and shook his head again.
"Maybe there are some things that you still don't understand.
"Of course, if you really want me, Xiao Wu, No.2, No.3, No.4, and the others to thicken our faces and return to the professional esports circle to play again, to put it more bluntly … it shouldn't be a problem to win the world championship."
Just this sentence alone was enough to shock everyone.
Moreover, it was said so casually.
Even though he had already used the word "bluntly", the calm and confidence in his words was enough to shock anyone who heard it.
But …
For Li Shiyi, he subconsciously showed a look of agreement and even nodded as if it was a matter of course.
Because that was the case.
Only No. 1 Senior could say such words, and only No. 1 Senior dared to say it. It was not even limited to the so-called Four Emperors and Seven Kings of the new generation of professional esports. Even if the top existences from the previous generation of Europe and America were included … Perhaps any one of them alone was enough to shake the esports circle, but even if they were placed in front of No. 1 and the other four …
They could not stop them at all.
The word "invincible" had only appeared in one team from the previous generation to this generation.
There was no other.
As long as it was those five.
As long as it was that team.
As long as they wanted it, even the championship was destined to be in their pocket.
Number One's gaze became a little unfocused and distant.
"But …"
"Actually, I don't care if the national server can win the world championship."
The explosive and shocking effect of this sentence was even more impactful and intense than the previous sentence. Li Shiyi was dumbfounded when he heard it. His mind was so blank that he could not react at all, nor could he understand the specific meaning behind No. 1's words.
Don't care … if the national server can win the championship?
That was the highest glory that almost everyone in the entire national server, including all professional esports players and professionals in related fields, yearned for.
But at this moment, No. 1 Senior said …
It seemed like …
Really, it was not worth mentioning?
…
At this moment, Li Shiyi almost wondered if there was something wrong with his ears or if he was hallucinating. Because how could such words actually come out of No. 1 Senior's mouth? One must know that the person in front of him was the one who had won the most glory for the national server.
Now that he said these words … Wasn't it like slapping his own face?
Looking at Li Shiyi's face full of disbelief, No. 1 laughed, looking very happy.
"That's why I said it.
"There are some principles that you might not have thought about, and naturally you wouldn't understand after hearing these words. But it is indeed like that. You heard right, a world championship trophy … is not worth my attention at all.
"If it was just for this S6 World Championship, no matter how big Old Fang's reputation is, he wouldn't be able to easily invite us back from overseas."
The Old Fang mentioned here was naturally the current chairman of the Shanghai branch of the China Esports Association, Fang Hao.
If not for this chairman of the Shanghai Esports Association personally coming forward and begging them, these few legends of the previous generation of the national server would not have agreed to help out so easily.
But at this moment, from the mouth of No. 1, it seemed that the truth of the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The amount of information was too much, and the impact was too great. At this moment, Li Shiyi's mind was still a mess, and it was difficult for him to sort out his thoughts. With great difficulty, he forced himself to calm down.
He still stammered, "Then … then Senior, why … why did you …"
Yes.
If they felt that a world championship was not worth mentioning, then why would they spend so much effort and effort to specially return to China to give such meticulous training to the teams and clubs participating in the S6 World Championship?
This time, Number One didn't answer Li Shiyi's question directly. Instead, he asked with interest, "What's wrong with you?
"What do you think, if it was really us old guys who helped the national server win the championship trophy …
"What will the national esports scene be like after this?"
This was a question that caught him off guard.
Li Shiyi was once again a little confused.
