In the past two days, as the chief supervisor of the SSK Club, Park Canlie, personally spent most of his time and energy on training and teaching the other four main players of the team.
But even before this, Pu Canlie didn't care too much about Han Shihao's training progress and condition as the captain of SSK's ace mid laner.
He only briefly watched Han Shihao's solo training and learned a little bit about it. After that, he didn't say anything else.
Including this moment, this was probably only the second time they had such a formal face-to-face conversation on this topic.
Of course.
Considering that the final world match would begin in less than twelve hours, this conversation tonight might be the last and most important one.
Park Canlie still asked casually, as if he didn't care too much about this matter.
After a moment of silence, Han Shihao shook his head.
"It's not good."
Yes.
Even with the help of two top legends from the previous generation.
Even he himself had done his best.
But the results were still not optimistic.
Park Canlie still didn't care about Han Shihao's answer. He leaned back in his chair, squinted slightly, and sighed as if he was talking to himself.
"The realm above the Yonkō.
"It's even higher than the 'god' level, the 'super god' level.
"It seems that it's not easy for anyone to achieve …"
As the number one esports player of the new generation, Han Shihao naturally wasn't the so-called "just anyone." But for the true supreme realm of professional esports, perhaps except for "that person" from the previous generation in the China esports circle, anyone else could only be regarded as "just anyone."
But to put it bluntly, it was actually only a matter of time.
If there were no time constraints, and there was no need to be too impatient, then the current problem wouldn't be a problem at all. Whether it was M, Lee Daozai, or Han Shihao himself, they all had enough confidence that he would eventually break through this bottleneck and reach a new height.
But now, what they wanted to see was … all of this could happen before the final battle of this season's finals.
"It's a bit too difficult."
Park Canlie commented and glanced at Han Shihao.
"Even for you, it's no exception."
Han Shihao nodded slowly.
"I understand."
"However, if we can fight for it, we still have to give it a try."
As far as he was concerned, a day earlier or a day later, or even a few months later, he would eventually be able to break through and reach that realm. In fact, there was not much difference, and there would not be any loss.
However, right now, he wasn't just an ordinary solo player, nor was he an ordinary pro player.
He was the number one esports player in Korea's new generation, the successor of Lee Do-jae's "F" banner.
He was also the captain of SSK.
Countless Korean fans hoped that SSK could win another world championship. The two seniors hoped that SSK could win the championship again this year so that they could plan for next year's season. Needless to say, the club's coaches, team leaders, and managers were all eager to take down their opponents in the finals tomorrow.
It was precisely because of this that the timing was so important.
This also caused him to shoulder greater responsibility and pressure.
"But there's no need for that."
He didn't look at Han Shihao. Instead, he stared at the fluorescent lights on the ceiling and spoke abruptly.
Han Shihao looked over and was a little surprised.
Because in his understanding, the young Chief Supervisor of his club in front of him should be the one who was most used to turning everything into reality and pursuing benefits to the extreme.
This kind of words should not have come from the mouth of the other party.
As if he had guessed Han Shihao's thoughts, Park Canlie turned his head and looked at him, the corners of his mouth curling up.
"What, you don't think I should say this?"
The young chief supervisor of SSK shrugged with a relaxed expression. What he continued to say shocked everyone in the club.
"As the club's supervisor, there are some words that I can't say. It's easy to cause trouble."
"After all, the big battle is coming. It's a little too depressing to say such words before the game."
"But, to be honest —"
"It's just a world championship trophy."
"I don't think it matters whether I take it or not."
Han Shihao's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze fell cautiously and coldly on Park Canlie, as if he was scrutinizing him. Park Canlie's smile was still relaxed.
"What, you think I'm joking?"
"This is a rare truth. I'll only say it when we're one-on-one in private."
Han Shihao was silent for a moment.
"I don't understand what you mean."
Park Canlie, who was comfortably leaning against the chair, stretched his body. His tone seemed to have become a little lazy.
"What I mean is, it's not like we haven't won a world championship trophy before."
"It was ours last year, and it was ours the year before."
"It's just a matter of whether or not we can win it again."
"Even if we win it again this year, what can we do?"
Perhaps this sentence would stun everyone. As a professional esports player, or even just an ordinary League of Legends esports player, it was impossible for them to think about this question.
What did he mean by "what can we do even if we win it"?
Everyone was only thinking about how to win the world championship. Who would care about the value of the championship trophy?
It was something that countless professional esports players dreamed of, but at this moment, from the mouth of the young chief supervisor of the SSK Club, it seemed to be worthless.
So what if we win it?
What was the weight of the world championship trophy? What did it mean?
If one really wanted to talk about it in detail, it would indeed be very difficult to say why.
So at this moment, Han Shihao frowned. He didn't know how to refute the chief supervisor's views. He just said coldly,
"According to what you said, the efforts of all professional players and teams are worthless and meaningless."
Indeed.
Park Canlie's words had almost directly and forcibly negated the meaning of the entire eSports.
Park Canlie shook his head.
"No, you're wrong."
"I'm not denying the meaning of esports."
"It's that most people, including you, subconsciously misunderstand the true value of esports."
"The reason why the championship trophy is important is that most people have never won it. It requires them to constantly improve themselves and achieve their goals."
As he spoke, Park Canlie looked at Han Shihao.
"But you're different."
"SSK is different."
"You've won the championship trophy, and we've won it."
"This is no longer a challenge. At least, it's not the same challenge as others."
After a pause, Park Canlie said leisurely,
"What you need …"
"It's a higher pursuit."
