You actually want me to...

As a result, he felt like he had been laning against the turrets for two games and was almost completely lost.

To reiterate, Season 10 is a jungle-support meta, but the damage output is mainly handled by the mid, top, and jungle. AD carries can barely deal any damage and will die from unknown AOE attacks. Even if they survive, they can only finish off low-health enemies. It's very difficult to outplay others, even for professional players.

That's why Roland was able to survive with this outrageous build, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at his death count, which was just one more chance to break the three-kill mark.

Successfully survived the tribulation!

At this moment, netizens on the internet have started to celebrate wildly, and there is no need to write a script, because there are ready-made ones to use.

[When facing the King of the Plate, I only dare to start with Cloth Armor and 3 Health Potions, slowly farming and trying to kill him is simply impossible - Zhang Wuji]

[I couldn't withstand the pressure when laning against UZI; he was too stable, so stable that I couldn't withstand the pressure even if I wanted to. —UZI]

[I've already rushed down two towers trying to lure the King out, but he's still sitting in the fountain staring at me, his composure chillingly steady—JKL]

"The King of the Plate? I'm afraid to lane against this terrifying man. When it comes to being reliable, I'm not even three points as good as him." —Shy

One classic moment after another accompanied the appearance of competition video clips, even boosting the popularity of a certain steady stick, leaving even wheelchair users stunned.

You can sit at home and feel the heat coming from above.

At this moment, he finally understood the joy he had felt as the Cat Emperor back then. It was truly fucking awesome!

Unsurprisingly, the organizers were quick to spot Roland and made him an interview guest for the competition. Faced with all the cameras and microphones in front of him, he could only smile awkwardly and say hello.

"Hello everyone, I'm Aban from TES. Yes, the same Aban who had three items and made the entire RW team chase me for eighteen blocks." Since he was already there, he decided to just let loose.

To be fair, Roland himself isn't shy about being interviewed, because the young men or women he interviews are usually very socially adept.

He is different from others.

He doesn't have the social anxiety of someone like Knight, nor the social charisma of a talk show host. His unique characteristic is this: he becomes socially anxious if others don't talk to him. But once others start talking to him, he... becomes incredibly strong when faced with a strong opponent!

When facing a formidable opponent (the host), his passive ability, "The more you fight, the stronger you become," has already been successfully triggered.

This time, the host was Xiaoyu, one of the four leading ladies of the LPL. Roland was a little intimidated by this female host. Putting aside all the other nonsense, just the fact that Chicken Master was visibly thin and her performance had plummeted showed that this female host was no pushover.

To avoid being hit by the area-of-effect attack, he carefully kept a little distance.

As for the interview, those who know, know.

The preceding questions were all polite formalities, essentially answering things that everyone loves to hear but the audience doesn't: such as how great the teammates were, how they were carried to victory, how amazing the coach's draft picks were, etc. It was almost on the same level as an acceptance speech from a student or a leader's speech at a meeting.

The key point is what comes next.

"I have a small question for you, Ah Ban. We all know that Ah Shui couldn't play due to health reasons. So, I'd like to ask if you were particularly nervous when you played the AD position today?"

When they do make a move, it's nothing; but when they do, it's a resounding success.

As Aban's first AD carry performance, his two "unyielding" builds truly shocked many netizens, so it's understandable that he would have this question.

"I feel it's alright, after all, as everyone has seen, my item build and playstyle are a little conservative." He scratched his head sheepishly as he said this.

Are you sure it's only a little bit?

[With this build, Uzi would be speechless, and even the old fox would weep.]

[A tiny bit - refers to the fact that the damage output relies entirely on the Ice Fist passive]

[Next time, I suggest picking Veigar directly; at least you can stack some ability power.]

"Ahem, indeed, today Aban's item build was a little too conservative. So, I'd like to ask if these item builds were arranged by the coach, or did you come up with them yourself?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Roland immediately fell into thought.

How to do?

Should I just tell him that I'm only doing this because I'm afraid of pooping? That wouldn't be appropriate, mainly because it lacks class and would make me look bad.

But if we don't say it that way, what other nonsense can we come up with to fool her?

After thinking for a long time, Roland also spoke in a deep voice.

"Actually, I knew from the beginning that this build would be controversial, but as a member of TES, I felt it was my responsibility and obligation to protect everything in the bottom lane, especially after seeing the performance of our mid and jungle, which made me even more determined."

"Oh, I see. You mean everything you do is for the team's victory, and your personal reputation doesn't matter?"

"No, what I mean is that as long as my equipment is tankier than my teammates', the enemy won't have any designs on me, and I can finally survive properly."

host:"???"

Integration: Chapter Seven: Life Is Like This

After the battle with RW, TES had a short two-day break.

At the beginning of the season, watching LPL matches was like doing your summer or winter vacation homework. In the beginning, you would only play one or two games a day to prove that you were still alive.

In the mid-to-late stages, they found that they had a bunch of matches that hadn't been played and couldn't drag it out any longer, so they started playing high-intensity matches again. This has already become a traditional type of competition.

What can we do?

Rankings should be done as needed, and training should be done as needed; we can't just leave the game AFK at the base.

Of course, many things are also carried out simultaneously, such as the athletes' physical health checks, regular fitness training, and occasional team building activities. Capitalists are shrewd; they can only better exploit athletes if they ensure their physical and mental health.

Oh, right, because it's capital in the sports industry, it understands this.

As for other capital-driven industries like food delivery and logistics, they truly don't treat people like human beings, and you have no way to resist them.

It's fair to say that it's not easy for young people to get by in this world.

"What's wrong? Lost in thought?" Seeing Roland in a daze, Holy Gun Bro came over and asked.

"I was just thinking about important issues concerning people's livelihood."

"to be honest."

"After the match yesterday, I saw a really pretty girl, but I forgot to ask for her WeChat."

"That's more like it." With a smile, Flandre patted Roland on the shoulder, deeply agreeing with this sentiment.

Professional gamers often have access to beautiful women, even though they are "artificially created" to resemble beautiful women. This is especially true for well-known professional gamers. They have both physiological and material needs, and many gamers can easily fall into the trap without realizing it.

Of course, there's not much to say about this. Although the purpose wasn't entirely pure, they were still in a legitimate relationship.

As rational individuals, they would prefer to find a woman who doesn't mingle in these so-called "internet celebrity" circles, but normal people would look down on them for their low education level, thus creating a vicious cycle.

"It's alright, we're still young. When we retire someday, we can work hard, burn some incense, and maybe we can even get a university degree through self-study...maybe?"

Seeing that Flandre clearly misunderstood, Roland couldn't help but tease him: "No, actually you've misunderstood. I'm thinking of the previous one right now."

"The previous one?"

“I also added a girl on WeChat last time. We talked about Nietzsche, Goethe, and Dostoevsky. On the third day, she told me about her grandfather who sold tea in the mountains and had a hard life.”

"..."

Seeing the hapless Saint Gunner completely fooled, Roland's slightly melancholy mood finally improved a little, but then he fell into distress again.

Regardless of anything else, as a small-time professional player, he might occasionally lament how the world has changed, but if you really ask him to do anything, he simply can't.

All you can do is change yourself and wait, that's all.

What he's troubled about now is his own problems.

His offensive support skills have reached a certain level and are difficult to improve in a short period of time. The same applies to his command skills. The remaining growth can only be achieved by playing more games. In other words, his progress has suddenly stagnated.

This is not good news, but he cannot allow himself to selectively ignore it.

So he found JKL.

The white crescent moon can give him macro-level advice, and the support from other teams can offer him his past experiences, but these are all just references and don't count.

He is Ah Shui's support; in other words, only Ah Shui himself knows what kind of support he truly needs.

"A bottleneck... let me think." Lying on the sofa, Ah Shui tilted his head back and pondered for a while, his mind rapidly filtering through many things.

After all, he had never encountered this kind of thing before.

When Baolan was supporting him, he only really mastered Rakan. Even his frequently picked champion, Nautilus, was a disaster. Back then, JKL's only requirement for him was not to hide behind him during the laning phase.

But now...

"Maybe I could try a defensive support, if enchanter supports don't work." This change also made JKL see many annoying aspects of supports. Whether it's Braum, Alistar, or Tahm Kench, they all showed their brilliance in certain games, and even Taric, he felt he could practice those.

"This is quite good."

"That's about it. As for support champions, I remember you play Karma? Then let's pick Yuumi too. With this champion pool, you're already invincible." With his abilities, Roland doesn't even need to practice these champions to the point of mastery. He only needs to practice them to the point where they can be used in matches. He can take care of the rest and guide them.

"understood."

With clear instructions, Roland immediately had a direction again.

Then I sat back down, opened ranked, instantly selected the top lane, and after entering the ban/pick screen, I immediately started playing a defensive support in the top lane.

Yes, that's his training method.

Unlike other people's custom training methods, the top lane position is the best place to train solo lane heroes, because if you don't grasp the details, you will die and then be snowballed.

Many details are useless if you don't actually experience them. Just like most people watch videos of Lee Sin's combos, which are all fancy and clear in their minds, but when they try to do it themselves, they can only manage to press one or two skills after a long time, and their hands are terrible.

That's where the difference lies.

After being abused a lot, you'll know how to prevent being abused in the future.

Similarly, after being beaten many times, one learns how to hit others.

As for the others, they all have their own tasks.

Flandre needs to be familiar with the popular top laners in this version. In this version, you don't need to know too many top laners. It's definitely a good thing if you know a lot, but you still need to be more proficient than jack-of-all-trades because the competition in the top lane is too fierce.

Karsa is currently riding high, but he also needs to study some jungle carry strategies. He may not be an expert in jungle carries himself, but he must be an expert in how to play them; these are two different things.

JKL mainly focuses on maintaining his skill level, as he has a large hero pool.

As for Knight, he leans more towards psychological counseling and a deep hero pool. His talent is terrifying enough, and he has a deep mastery of the hero pool. His only weakness is his mentality.

When confident, they dominate the game; when withdrawn, they can't utter a sound for ages. These are long-term tasks that require gradual guidance to achieve results.

Actually, Knight's personality is a bit more easygoing, which reflects the personality of most people in society today. To borrow a phrase from Zhou Guoping:

I am naturally unsuited for socializing. In most situations, I either find the other person boring, or I fear they will find me boring. But I neither want to endure their boredom nor exert myself to appear interesting—both are too exhausting. I am most relaxed when I am alone because I don't find myself boring, and even if I am, I bear it myself without burdening others or feeling uneasy.

Everyone is constantly growing, not because they crave growth, but because they know that if they stop, all that awaits them is elimination.

Esports is never a simple thing, and so is life.
