Chapter 32

"It's fine, being strict is how it should be."

Uzi didn't seem to realize what was about to happen. He thought, how strict could it really get?

Isn't it just getting scolded during a review?

Which one of them, as old players, hadn't been scolded like this all the way through when they were playing professionally? "Really?"

Su Xing hesitated.

The main thing was that he hadn't led a review in a long time, and everyone was streaming. He was a bit worried that if he couldn't control his emotions and scolded everyone into a depression, what would he do?

"Really, go ahead and review!"

Uzi said, "Tabe's review effect definitely won't be as good as yours in this situation. Just say whatever you have to say; we're all people who want to win!"

If they really didn't care about winning or losing, who would go find a coach to help with picks/bans and reviews?

Isn't it all to win? Even if the Old Man Cup is just an entertainment event for the viewers, for these retired players who were once active on the stage, such events can also ignite the competitive spirit in everyone's heart.

No one wants to lose!

"Yeah, Su Xing, just say whatever you have to say when you help us review."

At this time, Tabe also explained, "How should I put it? I'm an active professional coach, and I can't use the standards of active players to demand things from them. Plus, my relationship with Uzi is decent, so I really can't be very harsh in reviewing and demanding what they should do."

"Say it, say it boldly!"

AJ said extremely generously, "We aren't sixteen or seventeen-year-old kids anymore. If we really did something wrong, we know we'll definitely change it, right?"

Su Xing:... Since they said so, he wouldn't be polite.

"Alright, then let's start."

Su Xing opened his client's replay. With the help of the Tencent Meeting software, his computer screen could be transmitted to everyone else's computers without delay.

"Let's not talk about the top lane for now; let's look at the bottom lane laning phase."

Su Xing's opening sentence immediately filled the livestream with question marks. You're learning from Ning, kid?

"Let's look at the first wave."

Su Xing put the camera on the bottom lane and froze it at the two-minute-and-three-second mark, asking, "The support Karma's first RQ is very critical. Xiao Duan's RQ missed. Okay, I can understand that, but I want to ask, since the support's RQ missed, why did you, Uzi, still walk forward two steps?"

"I..."

Uzi subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but once Su Xing entered the zone, he didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"I know what you wanted to do; it was nothing more than wanting to greed for a basic attack after landing a Q. But the problem is, the consequence of you doing that was getting hit by Kai'Sa's AQA. Do you have any idea how much health you lost from that trade?"

"Maybe the opponents' skill is indeed not as good as yours, but the problem is that laning in the bottom lane isn't about what you want to do alone. Xiao Duan's RQ missed, and you also Q'd into the middle of the opponents. Can't you just retreat and then contest the wave to keep poking?"

"Just because of that one basic attack you greedily went for, the position of these minions changed. This is the fundamental reason why you failed to reach level two first in the bottom lane."

"I didn't understand why you guys couldn't get an advantage in the bottom lane, but just looking at how you handled this wave, I completely understand. If you play like this, even if the four-time champion Faker came to play this Galio, he could only say, 'Sibal, bottom lane.'"

Su Xing's speaking speed wasn't fast, but his articulation was clear. His words left everyone speechless. Wait, man, are you really scolding them?

Especially the last sentence, which made the viewers in the livestream unable to hold back. This scolding was truly harsh! "Good, good, good, I see you don't want to hang out anymore, kid, scolding my Uzi like that!"

【"Faker: Thanks for the invite, I really can't carry this."】

【"Don't stir up trouble; if Faker came, Zita's hand on the mouse would probably be shaking."】

【"Hard to say, in this situation, if you let Faker play Galio, he really could only say 'Sibal'."】

Coincidentally, this scene made Zita, who was watching Uzi "stand trial," laugh until he almost fainted. He never expected that Su Xing, who didn't seem to like talking much, would say nothing but classics once he opened his mouth! "Someone's Galio in the first game—if Third Uncle came, he would only say 'Sibal'."

Xiaolongbao also followed up with a sharp comment, and Zita laughed and cursed, telling him to get lost.

Although Uzi, who was being scolded, was a bit unhappy, he knew very well that there was nothing wrong with what Su Xing said.

From a god's-eye view, it was indeed because he was greedy and wanted to land one basic attack on the opponent that subsequent laning problems arose. The fundamental reason for this problem was that he looked down on his opponents from the bottom of his heart.

It's simple: I am Uzi!

Do you understand the gold content of the three characters "Uzi"? Why should he treat the opposing bottom lane duo as human beings? "After seeing the details of this wave, I don't think there's any need to review your bottom lane anymore."

Su Xing commented sharply, "The first problem you need to solve now is to look at your opponents properly. Although this isn't a professional league, as long as it involves competitive factors, I think you should still give your opponents the most basic respect."

"Second, your bottom lane duo needs to find a way to improve your mutual chemistry. Although you aren't playing high-intensity matches, you aren't playing Bronze or Silver games either. The opponents aren't so bad that you can just slaughter them alone."

"My bad, my bad."

A few short sentences made Uzi's face flush with shame. Stop scolding, stop scolding, if you keep scolding, I'll go stupid.

Throughout the process, although Su Xing didn't mention his own name, every sentence he said was about his own problems. At this moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

However, Su Xing ignored Uzi's apology and instead turned the topic to Xiao Duan.

"As for Xiao Duan... I'm not sure how long you haven't played the game, but if you want to improve further, you still need to increase your proficiency with some champions."

Pausing slightly, Su Xing added, "To be honest, maybe Uzi's temper is better now, but if you had replaced him with his younger self in ranked games and encountered a Karma who missed the first RQ upon reaching the lane, he might have hit ALT+F4 on the spot."

【"Stirring up trouble, pure stirring up trouble!"】

Uzi's old face turned red. That was how many years ago!

"Bottom lane is done, now it's the jungler's turn."

Su Xing then switched the perspective to Beishang's Graves. He also couldn't understand how playing a Graves could end up feeling like they were missing a person.

"AJ, don't laugh."

At this moment, AJ couldn't help but laugh out loud in the voice chat. Su Xing also added unceremoniously, "Just because we didn't talk about the top lane doesn't mean we won't talk about it later. Don't rush, I can only say don't rush."

"Wait until I finish looking at Beishang's perspective, and then I'll review how you played the lane that allowed this Aatrox to one-shot Uzi in the mid-game team fights."
