From Tragedy to Success: Perfection on Summoner’s Rift
Road to Diamond — episode 4
the “Only the worthy will survive” — Zed, The Master of Shadows
There are moments in life when you are challenged, you suffer, you cry, and ask at least for a spark of light, a little door of escaping.
Even in these struggles, you don’t quit because you are not a quitter or a loser. You are a winner because you survived all of these and you are worthy of the winnings.¹

My friend, episode 4 is the best. Probably, if I wouldn’t have created this series, I wouldn’t appreciate it this way.
If you read the first three episodes, you know how hard I push to have good games and win those LPs. Seeing how things progressed in these 4 episodes, I conclude that this might be the way I can reach the desired rank of Diamond.
Anyway, leaving out the sentimental outpouring, the last day of February has been amazing. Not because of how it ended in terms of Medium, but in terms of gaming, too.
Summary of the games
Be amazed, as the fourth gaming of the session won’t be forgotten. Trust me, you will even dream about it several nights from now.
Just admire the picture below:
In this session, I played four games and won all of them.
I repeat:
I won all of them.
Hahahahahahahaha! Who’s laughing now, Riot Games?
It seems like my favorite word is VICTORY!
Ok, I am not going to be cocky over the whole article.
Game 1
The game was close to perfection.
My KDA was perfect because I have never died. Speaking of objectives, I got almost everything I could except the Rift Herald. Their Jungler managed to get it.
I could focus on objectives and not fight too much because my team had done pretty well, even though I had a troll on midlane.
But thankfully to our support Pyke, who swapped to mid, we had a good game: +27 LP.
Game 2
“What a perfect day! What a team! Finally!”
These were my words after the second game had finished.
At the beginning of the game, we were losing. But my toplaner was, huh, nuts. He was everywhere and helped considerably when I had to take objectives around the map.
I focused on them and fought only when necessary.
It seems like Riot Games can make normal matches after all. So, stop blaming them for your losses, haha! +25 LP
Game 3
After the first two games, I took a break for some hours. I played the other two later in the day.
This is what I tweeted before the third one:
I was so afraid of losing, haha!
I played it with my duo, hoping he would be better this time.
But I have been worrying for no reason. The game was a lame one. I play a lot alone when I play ADC because I focus on farming.
We won the game once I grouped up with the team. +26 LP
Game 4
I broke the rules, I know! There should be only three games, haha!
But seeing things were going well, I said I could win the fourth one too and be promoted to a higher division.
But this fact put some pressure on me. So, I made mistakes over the game. The worst one is that I got tilted because we were losing, making me lose concentration. Especially seeing my toplaner was giving kills to Briar. She is a beast when she gets fed. You can’t kill her unless the whole team focuses on her in a fight.
Thankfully, she started to throw the game. This is how I overcame my tilt.
We caught her alone several times, and this way, was easier for us to take objectives and kill the enemy team.
Even though we were in a favorable position, the game was still difficult. But they continued to make mistakes.
We won the game by Mundo going back door. It seems the weakest became the strongest.
This is how the session ended with another +28 LP. This promoted me to the Platinum 1 division. This is the best I got this season of the game until now.
The Play of the Day
The play of the day was a double kill. It wasn’t that special, but I liked it because I had the opportunity to destroy Bel’Veth, who gave me some headaches during that game.
It didn’t perform so well on YouTube, haha! Only 400 views and 0 subscribers.
Future improvements
In the third episode, I said that I planned to start the gaming session later in the day. It seems it worked.
The mistakes I made this session were that I played too much alone as ADC and the fact I broke the rules. Playing only a maximum of three games per day is not only for effectiveness in the game purpose but also for my discipline.
I don’t want to give that much of my time to League of Legends.
Relevant aspects for real-life
- There are moments in life when you are challenged, you suffer, you cry, and ask at least for a spark of light, a little door of escaping. Even in these struggles, you don’t quit, because you are not a quitter or a loser. But a winner, because you survived all of these, and you are worthy of the winnings.
End of episode 4
Again, a bad day on Summoner’s Rift!
…
Haha, I am joking!
But I started to get used to that ending, haha!
However, I am not sad I am changing it.
With the hope the next session will be at least the same as this, thank you for reading.
The third episode is here if you have missed it.
