Reclaiming glory starts with LGD

Chapter 24 Don't Say Sorry

Tabe sighed.

"you...."

"You want to ask me why we had that best-of-three (BP) in the third game?" Jiang Xia asked.

"Well, not really, but I think we'll have a better chance of winning if we play it safe." Tabe's thinking was quite simple.

"But you chose to believe them, and I don't think that was wrong, it's just that losing doesn't feel good."

"Yes, losing is a bad feeling, which is why they remember it so vividly."

For Jiang Xia, winning today's match would have been better, but losing was also part of his plan.

The positive feedback from beating WE is already there.

Instead, we need to be careful not to let LGD repeat its old mistakes and continue to be overly optimistic and complacent.

Being a coach is indeed a very troublesome thing.

"After your last victory against WE, do you think they took the post-match analysis seriously?"

"Well, it's kind of a lighthearted, laughing-laughing vibe."

"Right, they are players and they are definitely very concerned about winning or losing, but we need to think more about it. If we review the game after losing and point out the problems, the memory will be more profound."

"Losing a few games is not a big deal. The regular season is for finding problems. Otherwise, if problems arise in the playoffs, there will be no room for adjustment."

Tabe fell silent; he suddenly realized how difficult it was to be a coach.

If you think about all this, can the contestants really understand you?

.......

Marin became somewhat emotional during the post-mortem analysis.

"I do have a problem, but why choose this hero?"

"Fizz isn't even good in top lane anymore, and they're using him in mid, and against EDG no less! Seriously!"

Jiang Xia's tone was also very firm: "If you blame Bp for every loss, then I really have nothing to say to you. Since you know your own problems, why don't you change them?"

Why didn't you have this problem with SKT? Firstly, your Rumble was a carry, but how many times did you feed?

Perhaps the letters SKT irritated Marin.

"Damn it, why are you making such a fuss? I know I gave it to you, but I need to find an opportunity, and that means taking risks."

"But when you try to find an opportunity, you don't trust your teammates and want to carry the whole game by yourself!"

"Relying on team fights and teamwork is probably much better and more rewarding than taking risks on the sidelines."

"I..." Marin was somewhat speechless.

The two were exchanging words in Korean, leaving Pyl and the others completely bewildered and too afraid to even breathe.

"Pfft, did they have a fight?"

"No, Qinghuan was saying that the Little Fishman pick was bad." IMP was also in a bad mood after losing to Deft.

Beside him, Knight's expression grew even more somber.

When reviewing the game with the others, Eimy and Pyl were both very polite, because they didn't dare to joke around after losing.

I promise I'll gradually get rid of some of my bad habits.

To be honest, the match against EDG left a really deep impression on them.

At least Eimy saw how the factory manager protected and arrested him.

Pyl also saw how Meiko played the laning phase.

More profoundly, they knew they had to do better in order to keep winning.

Unlike before, people no longer casually think: losing to EDG is just a loss, it's not abnormal.

Instead, they faced many problems head-on, which was taught to them by their coaches; no one had ever mentioned these things before.

It's true, no one doesn't want to work hard; what's confusing is not knowing how to work hard.

Just like LGD before, nobody said anything.

But now, we have a direction.

Marin was still somewhat unconvinced, but Jiang Xia just went about her own business.

It was as if they hadn't taken the argument to heart at all.

The debriefing went on for a very long time tonight, but no one seemed impatient.

After it ended.

Jiang Xia took a deep breath: "From a draft perspective, we really wasted our time in the third game. We traded a Centaur for the opponent's Sivir and Graves, and then there was the Fizz pick. That was my mistake."

The best-pair (BP) in the third game was definitely a failure, and that's something I should apologize for. But our best-pair (BP) in the first game was very good, yet we still lost. I want to say that we all share responsibility for losing the game.

Our coaching staff will reflect on this and make corrections. Losing this game is really not a big deal. Our goal is the entire second half of this year.

Remember to stay committed to the long term. If we take this seriously, things will definitely get better. Our team is actually quite perfect right now – talented, young, experienced, and highly motivated...

That's enough, okay? Train hard for the next two days, remember what you're supposed to do, okay, that's all.

It's essential to give someone a pep talk, especially after a high-pressure debriefing session.

It can help team members quickly adjust their emotions.

Tabe saw it all, kept it in mind, and scanned the team members.

Their eyes were really focused.

After losing the match, the manager, who originally came to put some pressure on them, was stunned when he arrived... Wait, is this LGD? Weren't all the lights in the training room usually off at this time?

Under these circumstances, he couldn't say anything more.

This is a manifestation of LGD's gradual transformation.

After evening training.

Marin had just stood up.

Knight's voice came from the side.

"I'm sorry, Brother Qinghuan..."

Marin turned his head, knowing that Knight was talking to him.

But I couldn't understand it, and I wasn't in a good mood, so I left alone.

After a while, IMP also went back to his room, having drunk a little and was slightly tipsy.

Jiang Xia didn't bother with it; people aren't machines, and everyone has their own unique circumstances.

For others, burning mosquito coils and drinking alcohol might be a negative influence, but for IMP, it's definitely a buff.

"Shengbin, what did that little mid laner say just now? Right when I left?"

"Oh...I said sorry."

Marin was a little confused... What did he do?

Why did he apologize to me?

"Pfft, how did you know? I'm going to sleep now. Oh, I must beat Deft next time..."

"......."

Can't sleep.

Marin was much calmer now; of course, he didn't know Jiang Xia had used points...

I'm still wondering why he apologized to me.

Is it because he argued too loudly with the coach that the mid-laner became sensitive?

He felt it was alright; it's normal to have arguments during the debriefing, since everyone wants to solve the problem.

I left the room and went downstairs.

Sure enough, the lights in the training room were still on.

inside.

The coach sat up straight, and the video of today's game was still playing on the computer in front of him.

The young mid-laner sat to the side, nodding frequently.

Are they... still reviewing the situation?

For a moment, Marin felt a headache coming on. Why did Asiba have to work so hard?

But he really disliked this feeling because it reminded him of his time with SKT.

I stood there at the stairwell for a while, lost in thought.

But... no matter what you say, doesn't it all boil down to wanting to win?

What's wrong with me?

I used to hate LGD's attitude of giving up, but then I joined in...

Things are slowly getting better now, but I also feel averse to trying...

Why are my sons so hard to please?

Could it be that he really developed a mental illness from being tormented by SKT last year?

In fact, after reviewing the last two matches, Marin was not satisfied with himself either.

I was still playing the game with the mindset of the Spring Split to some extent.

The problem is, compared to the Spring Split, the Summer Split clearly has a much better chance.

Suddenly, I realized how ridiculous I had been for arguing with the coach earlier.

Yeah, we don't have this problem at SKT.

If I did, I'd be yelled at, my pay would be docked, and I'd lose my job...

However, LGD themselves were just being reviewed... and the communication was very pleasant.

But why... I, a bastard, dare not speak in SKT.

Yet they insist on venting their emotions on people who are clearly very tolerant of them.

Seeing their shadows stretched long under the lamplight, Marin quietly went back.

It was as if they had never been here.

However, after lying back down in bed, he took out his phone.

Open WeChat.

Jiangxia——

"I've mistaken the coach for someone else. I will reduce these problems until I correct them."

I clicked on another profile picture.

Knight——

The difference is that he first translated the Korean text into Chinese using translation software before sending it.

"Don't say sorry. You're very capable. I agreed to let you join during the trial period, so I didn't blame you. Today, I had an emotional problem that affected you. I should be the one apologizing."
