You actually want me to...

However, with this lineup, they only managed a 50/50 match against FPX in the early stages of the Demacia Cup, barely managing to win the game.

Keep in mind, this was FPX at the beginning of the season.

The original FPX team was always characterized by being a meta team. Whether it was S9 or S10, FPX gave people the feeling of being crushed in the Demacia Cup, performing erratically in the Spring Split, and then slowly getting back on track in the Summer Split. This was because the team's style was to adapt to the meta as much as possible and take advantage of it. In short, it was about imitation.

Even with major equipment changes at the beginning of the Demacia Cup, FPX's star player was just a rookie, and they couldn't gain a significant advantage against such an opponent, which shows just how weak the current TES lineup is.

"Have you figured anything out?"

Looking at the smiling faces on the screen, White Crescent's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

Because this is the right thing to do.

The lineup of TES in S10 was ridiculously exaggerated.

With the combination of Flandre, Sailor, Karsa, and Roland, he had never led such a luxurious team in all his years of coaching. Even LGD, which was known as invincible in S5, did not have so many experienced veterans and championship players.

Most teams that coaches take over should, as is the case, have various problems at the beginning of the season, and then gradually turn things around by discovering and changing them.

"It feels like Pokémon. You finally beat a region, but then you switch to a different map and find yourself starting all over again."

It has to be said that this script is indeed too similar.

"Pretty much, but you're different from Ash. You have more than one Pikachu."

"So Coach, do you want me to become a Pokémon Master?" Roland turned his head and saw an unprecedented expectation and excitement on White Crescent's face, which even gave Roland the feeling that he didn't take this Demacia Cup to heart.

“Ah Ban.”

"Ok?"

"It's time to take on a real captain's role."

"???"

-------------------------------------

When the five players from TES returned to the field, White Crescent, who is usually known as a nice guy, erupted in anger and roared in the rest room. He pointed out the mistakes of almost everyone on the field, and his sense of accountability was obvious.

No one knew why the white crescent moon suddenly turned like this. As for the newcomers in the team, A-Le and Ha-Huang, and the introverted player Knight and the water cooler Prophet, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to lift their heads. Only JKL looked at the scene in the room with a strange expression, and then sat down with a clear conscience to seriously accept the criticism.

In fact, through seamless coordination with the coach, he even took the initiative to absorb a wave of damage.

Putting aside the details, from a macro perspective, the reason why TES, with its current configuration, could produce such a performance is that the predictions couldn't be kept in check.

With an FMVP support player on the team, his own personality is so soft, and his style is extremely incompatible with his teammates, not to mention Roland's two "a scholar will die for his confidant" moments before the top and jungle players joined.

Putting that aside, the bigger problem is that TES still hasn't found the most suitable tactical system for the new team. The match against FPX in the knockout stage was almost a victory won purely by the individual skill of the players. However, this was an individual victory, not a team victory.

These two major issues have led to many mistakes that should and should not be made. What we need to do now is to bring these issues to the forefront so that everyone can confront their own problems.

As the final meeting adjourned and the group began to disperse, JKL made a gesture to Roland, exchanged a glance with Knight, and then grabbed the prophet and left.

Although Haro was initially stunned by the scolding, he is a veteran after all, and he has encountered this kind of situation many times before when he was with EDG. However, after paying off his debts for three years in RW, the team leader had forgotten the process a bit. Now that he had finished scolding and remembered, he naturally knew to slip away, and he also dragged Knight into it.

A few dozen seconds later, seeing that only Ah Le and he were left in the room, Roland stood up, grabbed two bottles of drinks from the table, and handed them to him.

"Chat?"

"it is good."

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

P.S.: It's so frustrating! This is the third Christmas I've spent writing this book, and I'm still sitting in front of my computer keeping you all company as bachelors. ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh.

PS2: While enjoying the holidays, be wary of consumer traps. Yesterday I saw an apple for 29.9 yuan, and today I saw a Christmas hat for 299 yuan. I can only say that's ridiculous.

PS3: I'm not counting on this year's annual update. After all, I'm a niche author, and I can't usually get a lot of monthly votes or updates, so I'm too embarrassed to ask for them. You can exchange your saved-up content for updates from the top ten books on the bestseller list this month.

PS4: I want to see the official announcement of the "vase" (a term used to describe someone who is considered unattractive)

Integration: Chapter Thirty-One: The Ace

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"do not know."

"That's good, because I don't know where you went wrong either."

"what???"

Seeing Roland's completely unpredictable behavior, Ah Le's pent-up anger from the scolding instantly dissipated, and he looked up blankly. Seeing his expression, Roland laughed, then found a comfortable spot on the sofa and casually slammed it down, showing absolutely no sign of serious reprimand.

"Actually, I'm a bit insecure myself. Your playing style is more aggressive and gives you opportunities, but I play the same style. In fact, I could be considered a pro player from the same generation as you, though I'm not really senior. The only thing that gives me an edge over you is that last year my teammates were all top players, and I managed to get the FMVP." Roland looked up and stared intently at the ceiling.

"If that's the case, how should I criticize you? I don't have that ability, do I?" After thinking about the groundwork that White Crescent had laid for him, Roland still felt that, given his personality, it was really too much of a stretch for him to follow the normal path of a captain.

If we're really talking about being headstrong and disobedient, is there anyone in the entire TES team more audacious and reckless than him?

That's all, right?

In his previous life, Roland was a player. Although he didn't have in-depth knowledge of professional gaming, he did pay attention to the microphones of various teams and the occasional team vlogs. When they won, every commander naturally seemed so kind and approachable, but what about when they lost?

The personality traits and other problems that were exposed made him feel uncomfortable, even though they were indeed effective immediately.

However, this atmosphere of only playing well when things are going well and not playing when things are going badly, and then giving up in desperate situations and waiting for the coach or team leader to give some motivational speeches to save the day, is not the atmosphere that Roland really wants. What he wants is a relatively harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, where even if they lose, they will only be angry for a day or two and then forget about it.

So he laid his cards on the table.

Of course, Ah Le was completely bewildered at this moment.

He just tapped the basic attack button a little, and you used your ultimate and both summoner spells right away. You didn't even try to kite him?

"What kind of greenhorns are these?" he thought, "I've never seen anything like this before when I was at OMG."

"You..."

"There wasn't much to talk about anyway. If we really made your playstyle more stable, it would actually be a negative improvement for the team. The reason we chose you was because of your drive and aggression. Your biggest mistake today was not completely crushing the enemy top laner to prove yourself."

"What?" Ah Le turned his head in surprise.

Roland looked over and smiled slightly: "Have you read the novel?"

"I've seen it."

“Actually, we are all like characters in a novel. At first, we just want to survive. Then we start to want to make money, become famous, and have beautiful women. Later, we slowly want power, a unique performance space, and to be the most dazzling character in the book. You agree, right?” Roland laughed. “But even the protagonist, who is the chosen one, does not rise to the top in one step. At the beginning, we all grow by conforming to different rules.”

Ah Le finally lost control of her expression and stared intently at him.

"Just like me, when I first started playing in the LPL, I was just a substitute who needed to be rotated. Then I became famous for my aggressive team fight initiation with the three main support champions. Then I gradually surprised others by playing mage support champions. And then I gradually got to the position of influence I have today. My progress is like starting from being an extra and slowly becoming the protagonist. Do you think I took the wrong steps?"

No...no.

"So, this is reality, Ah Le."

Seeing Ah Le deep in thought, Roland stood up, shook his head with a smile, and finally stretched before slowly walking towards the door: "Since you've already missed the first wave of opportunities to become famous overnight, why not temporarily rein in your ferocity? As for what comes next, I will do my best to create a stage for you to become famous."

"Let's play it safe this time in the Demacia Cup, take small steps to establish a foothold first. What do you think of the role of the third male lead?"

Ah Le paused, nodded, and said nothing more.

......

When Roland and Ale stepped out of the room again, the teammates who had dispersed earlier were scattered in twos and threes not far from the door. Upon discovering that the door was open, they immediately turned their gazes over, and of course, most of them focused on Ale's face.

On the surface, their conversation seemed unchanged; Ah Le still wore the dignified expression of Buddha Lu Lai. Only the two of them knew that some changes... had quietly begun.

It's like a thick, heavy door that has finally been locked with the right key.

An hour later.

Seeing that Ah Le's teamwork and playstyle were much more stable and coordinated than before, White Crescent was also quite surprised. Although he still gets carried away and his split-pushing sometimes feels like his intelligence has been lowered, he has made far fewer pointless probing attacks and has become much more aggressive after deciding to engage.

Is this change something that can be achieved with just over ten minutes of psychological counseling?

Holy crap, with this ability, it doesn't matter if he gets old and can't play professionally anymore. Wouldn't it be great if he could be a team leader or analyst?

"Tell me honestly, did you hold a knife to him?" After thinking for a moment, White Crescent couldn't help but lean closer to Roland and ask.

"No, we're just having a normal chat."

"And this change?"

"Social conventions may prevail, but a man remains fearless and undaunted."

White crescent moon: ? ? ?

Due to the tight schedule of the Demacia Cup, with only one day between the knockout stage and the semifinals, TES didn't have much time to regroup. Fortunately, their semifinal opponents weren't too strong, and White Crescent was still planning to let Prophet play first.

Their opponent in the Demacia Cup semifinals is VG.

With Cube (a volatile player) in the top lane, Aix (a wandering jungler) in the jungle, Fofo (the carry) in the mid lane, and iboy (a carry player) and Hang (a genius support player handpicked by Xiang Zhangmen) in the bot lane, the lineup may not be considered luxurious, but it is at least above average, posing a significant challenge to the current TES.

Meanwhile, countless LPL teams were also watching this match from different places.

As the champion team of S10, the departure of Karsa and Flandre undoubtedly broke the team's invincible status. Judging from the results of the quarterfinals, the strength of this team does not seem to be worth worrying about. The difference between the TES in the Spring Split and the TES in the Demacia Cup is only one person change.

But precisely because of this, no team dares to underestimate this team, not even the Redmi coach who started S11.

"You seem to be paying close attention to this team?"

"Pretty much. If White Crescent weren't around, I might join this team."

"Why? Their performance was far from what I expected, and they weren't as composed as when they won the championship. Could it be because of the Joker who didn't play?" As a seeker of the team's coaching position for the new season, this man with the letter R wasn't actually as familiar with LOL as he had imagined.

To put it bluntly, in their eyes, games are games and capital is capital; different things are viewed differently by different people.

The reason for pursuing Redmi is that the team needs such a famous coach.

As for how strong he is?

Men don't understand, nor do they need to understand; they only need to complete their own tasks.

Similarly, his understanding of Roland was limited to occasional news reports about him going out of control. He knew that Roland was a professional player who liked to create entertaining content and had high commercial value. While such players were certainly valuable, they were far less important to him than players like Uzi, JKL, or TheShy.

Because of the way the support role is played, it was destined from the beginning that it could not be completely revived.

“Joker? Actually, that’s not wrong.” Redmi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: “I don’t really know why, but every time I see him, I have a sense of déjà vu.”

"Actually, our team also..."

"No, I know what you're going to say, but I really want to rest quietly for a while." Rejecting the man who had been persistently pursuing her, Hongmi's attitude was even more resolute than the man had expected. "While I appreciate your invitation, there's something I'd like you to hear."
