LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 338 CCTV Interview! We are determined to win the championship!

"Why didn't the bot lane come over? Weren't we in the bot lane? How come the enemy bot lane came to support first?"

Wang Yao frowned and questioned.

Uzi retorted, "Didn't we agree to a four-protect-one strategy centered around the bottom lane? Shouldn't you guys come to the bottom lane to cooperate with me and help me gain an advantage? Why should I give up lane control to fight in the jungle for you guys?"

Hearing this, Wang Yao was furious. There really is a reason why some people don't win championships.

He suppressed his anger and tried his best to speak in a calm and clear voice.

"You have lane control. You're just losing half a wave of minions. I won't even talk about whether you can get a kill. Even if you only get two assists, the gold you get will be enough to cover your half wave of minions, right?"

"Besides, if we kill the enemy jungler, Xiangguo and I can go to the bottom lane and gank you 4v2. Wouldn't you gain more that way?"

"Why worry so much about gaining or losing one or two waves of minions? Are you some kind of greedy creature that only takes in and never gives out?!"

"There aren't that many people in this world who want everything at once. They don't want to lose lane minions, and they want to get all the kills. Where do you find so many good things in life!"

Wang Yao's series of rebuttals left Uzi speechless, but he also knew he was in the wrong. No matter how you look at it, his greed for minions and failure to provide support when he had lane priority couldn't be excused.

His face turned bright red, and then he stopped talking altogether and refused to communicate with anyone. His teammates were playing intensely, but he remained silent throughout the entire game.

This annoyed Wang Yao, and after losing the crucial dragon fight, he typed 'GG' in the public chat, then ripped off his headphones and loudly questioned:

"If we're going to play like this, we might as well not train at all. The bot lane is already outmatched, so what's the point of playing the four-protect-one strategy?"

Wang Yao hates people who tank on the field the most.

If they're already this bad in practice matches, what's the point of them even playing in the actual tournament?!

So, everyone comes to represent the country in a competition, and we're supposed to fawn over this "daddy" and coax the players into playing? Isn't that just bringing negative consequences to the competition?
"Also, I'm the team's commander! It's me! Everything has to be done my way. I say how to play, and that's how we play! It's fine if the support provides feedback, but you, as the ADC, should just focus on farming and developing. You don't need to give commands!"

For teams that don't lack leadership, the ADC is not suitable to get involved, because the ADC's information on the field is definitely not as good as that of the mid and jungle, and their decisions and judgments are naturally not as good as those of the mid and jungle.

Wang Yao was practically pointing his finger at Uzi and spewing insults at him.

He wouldn't tolerate him. At worst, they'd have a fight, and Wang Yao wouldn't back down.

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became tense, with everyone watching the two of them nervously, afraid that they might start fighting at the slightest provocation.

The GIF of "Uzi from the dormitory" kicking a greyhound one by one is widely circulated on the internet.

"Calm down, everyone, calm down."

Abu quickly stepped in to smooth things over, genuinely worried that before the match even started, the team's two core players would engage in an offline solo tournament.

"If this news gets out, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and he, the head coach in charge of selecting players, will become a laughing stock in the industry."

Everyone knows that Wang Yao's words make sense, but the list cannot be changed.

If there were a substitute mid laner or substitute ADC, it would be easy to resolve. At worst, we could just let the substitute mid laner play and let Wang Yao go back to his old job.

To be honest, Abu actually regretted bringing Tianye along!

This has created such a tense atmosphere within the team.

"Let's call it a day for today's training," Abu had no choice but to announce the end of the session.

Wang Yao turned and left immediately. Abu, however, kept his gaze on Uzi, trying his best to persuade him. After everyone had left, Abu called Uzi to a corner.

The two didn't talk for long, but it was clear that Uzi seemed to have 'given up'.

Actually, Abu only told him one thing.

"Jian Zihao, do you think you'll ever encounter such strong teammates again? Do you think you'll have the chance to be teammates with a mid laner as strong as Wang Yao and a top laner as strong as Flandre in the future?"

"Think again, is this your only chance to win the Asian Games in your lifetime?"

"Wang Yao is still young. He will only be 23 years old at the Hangzhou Asian Games in four years, which is his peak age. What about you?"

"Can you guarantee you'll still have that peak performance by then? Or do you hope your career will be forever without a title?"

Abu didn't deliberately criticize, but instead targeted Uzi's most sensitive points.

That is honor, that is championship!
After leaving the Tencent building and returning to their dormitory, Wang Yao took the opportunity while his roommate was taking a shower to seriously consider how to communicate with Uzi.

He absolutely had to win this championship. For a player like Uzi who is not mentally mature, sometimes coaxing him to play can actually make him quite strong.

After thinking it over, Wang Yao slightly changed his attitude and would praise Uzi when he played well, especially after winning key team fights!
Uzi secured a triple kill and boasted, "Am I awesome or not!"

"Awesome! Keep this up, and we'll win the championship anytime!" Wang Yao praised enthusiastically.

That's human nature; most people like to exaggerate their own achievements, and in such situations, you should just go along with them.

Abu looked at the two getting along well again with satisfaction, and couldn't help but sigh once more at how difficult it was to be the head coach.

In League of Legends, a team-based competitive game, individual skill alone is not enough to win a championship. You also need charisma to inspire your teammates to fight alongside you and strive for victory.

During training, a CCTV reporter specifically sought out Wang Yao for an exclusive interview, and Wang Yao was invited into a small room.

The two sides still go through a simple meeting beforehand, where the reporter will communicate the questions they want to ask to Wang Yao in advance so that he can prepare.

After the two went over the details, the photographer turned on the camera, and the reporter began asking questions.

"In recent years, the e-sports industry has been booming all over the world, and now it has become an unprecedented event in the Asian Games."

"Wang Yao, as a renowned top player in the League of Legends scene, has made his own contributions to the development of the esports industry. Can you share your thoughts on this?"

Wang Yao had a clear mind. Instead of taking all the credit, he said:

"Regarding the fact that the e-sports industry was selected for the Asian Games, I personally think it is inseparable from the hard work of those predecessors. In any field, the pioneers always have the hardest time."

“Going from 0 to 1 is difficult, but going from 1 to 10 is much easier. People like Sky in the past were not understood by society, or even by their families. They were labeled as ‘internet addicts’, but they still persevered.”

"The e-sports industry's achievements today are inseparable from their pioneering efforts."

"These predecessors endured all the hardships and difficulties, but I reaped all the fame and fortune. I can only say I'm lucky."

"However, I also hope that I can set a good example for those who come after me, just like my predecessors. That's why I've never dared to slack off and keep working hard."

"I hope to use my personal efforts to explain something to those who come after me!"

"From the moment you step into this circle, you must fight tooth and nail for the few opportunities to succeed in order to obtain the honor you desire!"
