Their regr match with Xiao ying was slightly more stablepared to having Ji Zhiyao on. There were also no problems in the cooperation between the members; as a team they were considered the slow and steady type. The match ended very quickly, and the stats analyzer gathered everyone at the sofa and asked, “How does it feel?”
Mo Huaifeng frowned as he looked towards Ji Zhiyao. “He’s too fast, we still need adjustments to our teamwork.”
Nuo said, “Let me talk about myself first. For that match I chose a health regen support, he’s considered a support with slightly higher speed but I distinctly felt that I could not keep up with NoHomo’s steps, even if I want to regen his health I can’t. And earlier on when NoHomo took Captain’s kill and the part where he went for the dragon with Heng, I’m sure everyone saw, NoHomo forgot that his movement speed was fast, Captain did not react in time, Heng couldn’t keep up, we werepletely disjointed towards the end.”
Heng nodded in agreement.
Ji Zhiyao scratched his head. “Previously when I yed with my random teammates, I’d always gone with pure speed, I didn’t realize it in the moment.”
K said, “I think he still has to decrease his speed.”
But the stats analyzer did not approve. “If he decreases his speed, wouldn’t NoHomo’s speed ss training be in vain? That won’t do. Tell you what NoHomo, go and study your master’s old videos in detail, see how he works with his team. And learn from it?”
Ji Zhiyao nodded.
In actual fact he had essentially watched all of A.K’s old videos, other than A.K’s chemistry with his team, as the battleteam’s director and primary damage dealer, everyone else, including the ADC had to do their best to work with A.K, hence he did not even need to consider that much.
Yet to Ji Zhiyao, it was too unrealistic to get the others to work with him. Hence, he had to consider how to raise his own awareness in cooperation.
After all speed ss was something that he insisted on learning and something that he brought into the team.
Ji Zhiyao sighed.
Vexing.
“It’s generally these problems, you guys think it through, don’t move like bandits wiping out a ce all the time.” The stats analyzer said a bit more and noticed that Ji Zhiyao was spacing out. He sent Mo Huaifeng a look, Mo Huaifeng understood it and walked with him to the corner.
The stats analyzer said, “Captain, what do you think of NoHomo’s current condition?”
“Not bad, based on his handling alone he ranks within the top 10 on the international rankings. But with his cooperation, it’s not enough to rank well.”
The stats analyzer instantly turned rueful. “I thought I was the only one weighed down with worry, turns out you have the same thoughts too... What should we do, we don’t have much time left, I’m especially worried that NoHomo won’t be able to adjust his condition.”
“There’s no need to worry. Training has not ended at present, he will be able to adjust in time.” Mo Huaifeng paused for a moment, then continued, “Besides, no matter what, Xiao is the ‘legal wife’, what are you worried about?”
“Indeed, there’s nothing wrong with what you said. Fortunately Xiao’s wrist has recovered, otherwise our team would probably be the first battleteam in the world to have two jungler reserves at the same time. Extravagance and greater prestige when one has more money, nothing wrong.”
Mo Huaifengughed.
“But I’m a little worried that NoHomo will split hairs. ording to his personality, anything he is set on he will not give up until there is no way out, I reckon this problem about cooperation will follow him for quite some time.”
Facts proved the problem that the stats analyzer was worried about. The next day, Ji Zhiyao stopped training on the various programs with the rest, but asked to stay at the hotel to study tactics by himself.
As he did not know much about speed ss, both the coach and stats analyzer were powerless and could only approve to allow Ji Zhiyao to figure things out himself.
Mo Huaifeng also did not say anything. As Captain, caring about every member and ensuring his own training hours was also his responsibility, it was impossible for him to stick next to Ji Zhiyao every day.
Ji Zhiyao stayed in his room alone and turned on hisptop.
As he did not have any leads, the things that he studied were very mixed. They included various livestreammentaries by professional or non-professional yers, analysis of tactics and all sorts ofpetitions that his master A.K had yed in the past. He took down notes while watching. His whole day was a real spin, and didn’t even manage to get dinner in time.
Close to midnight, the other members of Mix returned from the eSports hub and brought some food with them. Mo Huaifeng headed straight to Ji Zhiyao’s room and rang the doorbell.
Very soon, Ji Zhiyao with totally bloodshot eyes, opened the door for Mo Huaifeng.
Mo Huaifeng involuntarily frowned, but did notment, only handing the bag in his hand over to Ji Zhiyao. “Brought some sushi, have some.”
Ji Zhiyao’s eyes lit up as he took it and swiftly open the packaging. “Happened to be a little hungry and didn’t know what to eat. Thanks Captain for the timely help.”
“How is it going?”
Ji Zhiyao swallowed a whole mouthful of sushi, and said inartictely, “Still nothing, but I feel like I know which direction to go towards already. Don’t worry Captain, if it really doesn’t work out, I can call my Master and get him to guide me over the line. I still have to continue watching the videos so I shall not walk you out, bye Captain.”
With a click, the door closed.
Mo Huaifeng who had the door closed on him, who originally still wanted to have a good talk with Ji Zhiyao about the various experiences of life was dazed.
He was better off just going to bed.
...
For an entire month’s time, Ji Zhiyao was mostly in his own room. Only when he had to maintain his hand speed and reaction capacity, he would go to the eSports hub with the team every three or five days, making his entire person extremely busy.
Yet at the end of the month, a few days before they were set to leave Japan, Ji Zhiyao finally ended his isted training.
The first thing he did was to bring the whole team to a hotpot ce in Chinatown and treated everyone to a meal. Then in the merry atmosphere, he suggested, “Shall we y a match of 5v5 together this afternoon?”
The others were stunned, while Xiao let out augh. “Son, you’ve figured out a way?”
Ji Zhiyao nodded. “Got some clues, I want to try it out.”
Everyone indicated that they had no objections. The stats analyzer also grew interested. “Then let’s take it as a farewell match, I hope you guys treasure thest of your beautiful times in Japan. The teams to invite to North America have been settled, you guys will bepeting everyday once you arrive there.”
All the Mix members instantly wore a funeral face as if newly bereft of both parents, even Mo Huaifeng was frowning, looking not at all pleased.
North America’s style was already really hardy, if they were topete every day... It would virtually be trying to kill them.
Yet this was the club’s arrangement, there were indeed many well-known eSports yers in North America, hence everyone could only choose to ept it.
After lunch, toply with Ji Zhiyao’s vehement request, the whole group headed to the eSports hub and asked for a room that battleteams used topete.
The oue of the match surprised everyone.
This time round, their teamwork was much betterpared to the one where they still had many problems to tackle. Ji Zhiyao had also gone from an individual speed ss style to integrating 80% of himself into the whole team.
