[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

Li Zhi ignored Jiang Xingle's winking and flirtatious glances, looking directly at Liang Shoucheng with an open and honest gaze:

"Coach, I realize we've gotten ourselves into a narrow-minded trap. The utility mage composition is very strong right now, but does that mean I'm not strong as an assassin mage?"

Arrogant and boastful.

A rhetorical question with a strong sense of culinary wisdom.

Even Ling Wang widened his eyes slightly as he looked over.

After all, obeying the arrangements of the training team is the most basic professional quality of every esports player. Players like Li Zhi, who slammed their fists on the table during the review meeting, are rare in the entire WPL.

But Liang Shoucheng didn't interrupt him. Instead, he looked back at him with a serious expression and listened attentively.

Li Zhi met his gaze and continued speaking:

"The lineup is static, but the people are dynamic."

"Ice has already pushed the utility mage class to its limits. No matter how much we try to learn or imitate, we can only ever be on par with UUC, or even just put up a fight."

"In that case, let's continue with our original strategy and break through their defenses."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I don't think that one game with Assassin can determine the future of my career."

"Coach, please give me another chance."

After listening, Liang Shoucheng remained silent for two seconds, then slowly asked a question in return:

"Why didn't you get the midnight chilli drink yesterday?"

Li Zhi pursed her lips, not avoiding the question: "I wasn't in a good mood yesterday, but I've already adjusted."

He admitted that he had been thrown off balance by the sudden equipment adjustments and the defeat in the Assassin's Creed match.

Furthermore, he was keen to improve his utility mage skills, so he patiently practiced and fought.

But this doesn't mean he's giving up on assassins.

Fans are right to want to play it safe, but will the championship just fall into their laps because they play it safe?

If you don't fight and push, Li Zhi won't even know the meaning of e-sports.

He stubbornly stared at Liang Shoucheng, having already prepared a whole host of arguments to refute his objections.

But Liang Shoucheng did not scold him, nor did he show any dissatisfaction.

He stared at Li Zhi for two seconds, then suddenly smiled slowly and led the applause.

"Lychee, the fact that you can say that proves I didn't misjudge you."

As Liang Shoucheng spoke, he spread his training notes out on the table and pushed them toward the crowd:

"What you mentioned, the training team also considered during their all-night review last night. They unanimously agreed that the equipment stat adjustments made by the developers wouldn't have a significant impact on Lychee, right?"

As Li Zhi looked at the open notebook filled with dense annotations and key points circled in red, her heart pounded.

This feeling of being trusted and entrusted with important responsibilities made his blood seem to flow faster.

He straightened his back, his voice loud and firm: "Yes! I can play well!"

Liang Shoucheng still had dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night reviewing the game, but his eyes revealed a genuine smile:

"While competitions require lineups, systems, templates, and routines, since our goal is to win the championship, we will break the routines and reject formulaic approaches."

"When it's time to play it safe, play it safe; when it's time to go all out, go all out." He turned and glanced around at the rest of the people in the conference room. "No one else has any objections, right?"

Ling Wang was the first to speak, sounding somewhat impatient: "No."

To be honest, he hasn't had an easy time these past few days.

After all, his most outstanding playing style when he debuted was that of a resilient marksman.

Since Li Zhi started switching to a support mage, the entire team's damage output pressure has almost all fallen on his shoulders, and he is not used to this high-intensity damage output transformation.

The others, of course, had no objections.

If one approach doesn't work, then try another until you win the championship.

No matter the outcome, you must try your best to practice.

Because in the world of esports, what we have in abundance are young people who dare to stake their youth on the field and who dare to go all in for a comeback.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Liang Shoucheng closed the training manual and gave a summary:

"Since there are no objections, from now on, we'll focus on both utility-focused and mage-assassin compositions. As long as our compositions are viable, we'll stick to our old strategies and try to secure a victory."

After he finished speaking, he stood up first, led the others out of the conference room, and headed straight for the training room:

"I've arranged a practice match for you guys against the Dawn team today, so play well."

The training matches were all in custom rooms, and Jiang Xingle immediately started typing greetings as soon as he entered.

[RAK-Star: Don't you guys have a match today?]

Shi Xun quickly recovered, his tone carrying a vivid sense of dejection.

[Dawn-Seek: Brother Jiang, we have a competition tomorrow, and we have to say goodbye to the winners' bracket T_T]

Jiang Xing was delighted.

Team Dawn went on a winning streak in the third round of the group stage, not only advancing to Group S, but also somehow making it into the winners' bracket.

For no other reason than the contrast with its peers, its score and points inexplicably propelled it into the top four.

He typed away rapidly.

[RAK-Star: Anything is possible, let's fucking get to it!]

The opposing team initiated a team fight and immediately engaged.

[Dawn-Seek: Howl! Let's fucking kill them!]

In the best-of-three scrim, Shi Xun, who is a player who likes to play mage assassins, simply brought back the old system in this game.

With mid and jungle as the two core damage dealers, they returned to their most familiar path, coordinating seamlessly.

Team Dawn has been on a roll lately, with both sides trading blows, but RAK ultimately won the scrim 2-0.

Li Zhi had the highest damage output in the entire game, accounting for more than 30% of the total damage in both games, and won the MVP award for two consecutive games.

[Dawn-Seek: Lychee, it's so great that you're still playing assassin mages! I thought you'd quit because I'd seen you playing support roles lately.]

[Dawn-Seek: Of course I didn't mean you played badly as a support! It's just that I really admire your mage assassin play.]

[Dawn-Seek: Keep this up, winning the next game shouldn't be a problem!]

Li Zhi looked at the string of exclamation marks on the screen and almost laughed.

This person is really something else; he's timid and hesitant offline, but becomes a chatterbox online.

Just as he was about to reply with a thank you, the support player from the Dawn team suddenly stepped forward and delivered the finishing blow.

[Dawn-Mantou: Bro, if we lose tomorrow, RAK will definitely win the next match.]

【Dawn-Seek: ………

[Dawn - Seek has left the room.]
