What he criticized wasn't their early advantage, nor was it Luo Zhen's build.
It was the fact that after the enemy's mentality collapsed and their tempo fell apart, they had shown a trace of carelessness and slowed their offensive pace, causing the game to end two minutes later than it normally should have.
"Don't underestimate any opponent. You all know about S8 RNG, right? You might be able to afford that disgrace, but I can't. Especially you, Karsa. With your experience, how can you still laugh?"
"My fault, my fault."
"You guys... sigh, forget it. The second game will definitely be RGE's counterattack. Don't worry too much about the draft. What you need to watch out for is the enemy players' on-the-spot performance. You'll have to handle that yourselves."
"Yes." X5
Even without him spelling it out, the V5 group understood what their coach meant.
Even without learning from history, Karsa and Luo Zhen could understand the essence of arrogance through the anime and manga they knew so well. Take Seven Deadly Sins, for instance: Wrath was gentle, Envy was tolerant, Greed was devoted to giving, Sloth was diligent, Lust had no desire, and Gluttony had no appetite. Only Pride was truly arrogant.
So Pride died to arrogance, getting inted to death by its teammates. Everyone else was acting, while it was the only one taking things seriously.
Fifteen minutes later.
When the V5 members and the RGE group gathered backstage once more, what they saw in the eyes of the RGE group was a strangely familiar, blazing fighting spirit—Water Ghost Fighting Spirit.
"Sure enough, that look. The coach had a reason for warning us," Rookie remarked.
They knew that look all too well.
When they had first come to V5 as Avengers, they had worn almost the same expression.
