> Gank Your Heart Recap
The 2019 IConquer Spring Split was about to begin. Team Phoenix, as a newly promoted team, attracted widespread attention. In the first match, Phoenix faced Xiaolong, and Phoenix won very easily. This kind of successful start made the audience on site feel excited. Even Summer Ummer and Shu Wen highly praised Pei Xi's progress and changes. But Qiu Ying felt very uncomfortable watching Qiao Xin on the commentary desk.
With the first battle successful, Team Phoenix received many gifts from fans, and Xia Ling also became famous. But now his parents knew that Xia Ling wasn't studying at school but was "fooling around" here. His parents wanted to take Xia Ling home, but Xia Ling didn't want to go back. Now, Xia Ling's mother misunderstood Qiu Ying even more. His mother's lack of understanding finally made Xia Ling unable to hold back and burst out.
From childhood to now, his mother had hurt the whole family due to her own prejudice. Now Xia Ling hoped his mother could let him realize his own value. After hearing these words, his mother finally reflected on her own mistakes. Although his mother still couldn't understand esports, seeing Xia Ling regain his confidence through esports, his mother finally agreed. The next day, his mother asked his father to bring Xia Ling lots of delicious food.
Qiu Ying also called him Dad. Now the whole family had finally resolved their issues. In this Spring Split, Team Phoenix swept through various teams. Three months later, they ranked first in points and successfully entered the playoffs. In the evening, Ji Xiangkong was studying new tactics. Qiu Ying originally wanted to accompany him. But with Qiu Ying there, Ji Xiangkong couldn't focus on the game.
Ji Xiangkong teased Qiu Ying with a face mask, causing Qiu Ying to accidentally sit on his lap. Qiu Ying felt a rush of shyness and immediately ran back to her room to sleep. The next day, Ji Xiangkong researched the teams in the playoffs. Among them, the Xintu and Jushi teams were Phoenix's biggest opponents currently. Ji Xiangkong planned to change tactics, and the name of the new tactic was called the Shadow Tactic.
The key point of the Shadow Tactic lay in free switching positions. Pei Xi was suitable for Mid, and Xia Ling was good at Jungler. These two could flexibly switch positions during the game and could freely combine with Lin Yixuan. When necessary, they could even initiate a three-person small team fight on the bot lane. They would roam the entire map, assist each other, making it unpredictable for the opponents.
The tactic was excellent, but implementing it was not simple, especially for Xia Ling, who felt very unsure about playing Mid. The playoffs began. The first match was Phoenix against Xintu, and this was also the first time Phoenix used the Shadow Tactic. In the first game, the Shadow Tactic didn't perform very well. Xia Ling gave up First Blood, Pei Xi's development was insufficient, and Sun Zeyi was controlled again. As a result, Ji Xiangkong chose to surrender.
After losing a game, everyone's mood was low, especially Xia Ling, who was very self-blaming. After the match, Shu Wen called Ji Xiangkong and the others to Wangzhe Zhi Jia to talk. The Shadow Tactic was good, and Xia Ling's skill level wasn't low; he just lacked some competitive experience. Summer Ummer suggested bringing Pei Xi back. If Phoenix lost one more game, they wouldn't be able to enter the Global Finals.
After watching this match, netizens also attacked Ji Xiangkong and Xia Ling. Xia Ling looked at these comments and lost his confidence again. Now Ji Xiangkong bore even greater pressure; he couldn't let the team lose again. But even with great pressure, Ji Xiangkong disagreed with switching Pei Xi and Xia Ling back. If they were switched back, it would show a lack of trust in them. All the team members also agreed with Ji Xiangkong's decision. Between brothers, mutual trust and encouragement were needed. Now Xia Ling and Pei Xi needed more time to adjust. Even when Xia Ling did rehabilitation, Pei Xi accompanied him.
