Those Sweet Times
Chapter 84 Part 1

Before they began their training, they had to assign each player’s position.

Lin Chuyan would be the mage, Shen Zemu the marksman, and Chen Yinghu the jungler; there wasn’t any problem with these positions.

What’s left was top and support. Xiang Nuan hesitated and asked Yang Yin: “Yin Jiejie, how’s your top?”

“It’s alright.”

“Hum, hum, then you play the top, I’ll be the support.” Based on her understanding, the support was the lowest position.

“I’ll play support.”

“Yin Jiejie, no need to make me look good.”

“I’m not.” Yang Yin said: “Your character is rather suitable to play top, besides,” she paused then continued: “I always feel that the skill level of the support decides the upper limits of a team.”

“Oh?” Xiang Nuan was very interested to know more: “I’ve never heard about this theory.”

“Actually this theory doesn’t really apply to normal matches. The function of a support is to gain advantages and strategize for the team. In a random match, players don’t have any mutual understanding and the room for a support to function is really limited. That’s the reason why the position of support is sometimes overlooked. But if it’s a professional match, to help gain advantages for the team is only the basic responsibility of the support. Supports are the commander at the same time. An excellent support assumes overall responsibility; giving feedback and solutions according to the changes on the battlefield, reasonably allocating resources, and directing teammates to maximize their potential. Therefore, the support is actually the brain of the team.”

Xiang Nuan somehow got excited about the idea and asked: “Then, what you mean is that the support is actually the most important?”

“No, every position is important. It’s just that each position has its own way of showing its importance.”

Xiang Nua asked: “Yin Jiejie, do you think I can be a good support?”

“Support doesn’t suit you, you’re more suitable at charging forward.”

Charging forward wasn’t bad either, Xiang Nuan actually liked fighting in hand to hand combat more.

Chen Yinghu asked: “Then how about me? Can I be one?”

“You can’t either.”

“How so?”

“Not enough IQ.”

“......” Chen Yinghu was a little sad.

Yang Yin didn’t wait for the other two, Shen Zemu and Lin Chuyan, to ask and continued: “Shen Zemu can’t do it either. You’re a man of few words. It would be hard for your teammates to receive your intentions precisely.”

Yang Yin didn’t go on.

Xiang Nuan was a little anxious and kept asking: “Then what about Lin Chuyan? Can he do it?”

“Lin Chuyan.” Yang Yin smiled: “If he’s willing, he could be the top support of the whole esports-- --By esports, I mean the whole industry, including the professional league.”

“Wow!” Xiang Nuan exaggeratedly used both of her hands to cup her face and turned to look at Lin Chuyan with adoring eyes.

Lin Chuyan reservedly pressed his lips.

However, even if Lin Chuyan started to practice playing support right now, there wouldn't be enough time for him to get ready for the Leiting Cup. In the end, he would still be playing mid.

He thought that he could practice once in a while during his nightly stream.
