My DotA team

Evening my dear grandchildren.I just finished playing DotA game online.As usual today I want to tell you a story.This story really makes me realise the importance of motivation.I mean it.
Here's how it begins. Almost two weeks ago me and 4 more friends formed a team to compete in the USM DotA tournament. We always trained together at the Infinity cyber cafe.Hours and hours we spent perfecting our skills. So we found out that several combination of characters were the best.We aimed to use the combinations for the tournament.
To cut the story short,the tournament day had come. It was two days ago. We felt confident after training for hours. Our first match was against a team which was sponsored by a cyber cafe. We talked to each other and one of it was "They sure really good that's why they had sponsor." But it didn't break our spirit to put on the best game ever. We were divided into two places. Our opponent played in room 1 and we played in room 2.
As I entered the room, I realized something was wrong.The computer screen was in square shaped.I started to sweat because I usually trained using rectangle shaped screen.It had a huge differences you know when playing on square screen. I asked one of my friends who was happened to be our leader to change to room number 1 because computer screens in there were all rectangle. My friend asked the organizer but the organizer did not allow us to change because earlier we had agreed to take room number 2.It was a huge mistake making a deal without seeing the condition 1st.With a heavy heart, I sat down and ready to play.I played supportive role to disable my opponent in my team.
The first 1 minute, I was quit nervous because it was my first time joining a tournament.As the time passed by, my nervous was gone but...I had a difficult time adapting myself playing on the square screen.Then I started to make mistakes.I accidentally clicked my mouse on the opponent characters when actually I wanted to return to the base which resulting my character to die.I started to feel a bit guilty.Then another mistake happened. I used items wrongly. And then another..then another mistake occurred.In 35 minutes the game was over.We lost that game.
I went straight to the toilet. I felt really bad because I was the one who made my friends lost.It becoming more painful when I knew I could have done better if I had the opportunity to play on rectangle screen.The feeling haunted me.Other than that,my team used my suggested combination of characters for that game.You know,we never lost a game before when using that combination.Obviously we lost because of my fault.At that moment,how I wish I was a child so I could cry.But the reality is I am an adult.I have to accept my fault.I felt so down.I washed my face over and over again to ease myself.
Then one of my friends came in.I told him that was my fault and how sorry I was for that.He just
smiled and said "Never mind,we can try again for the next games."I said to him that our path would be harder because we had lost one game already.We had two win the balance two games to qualify for the next round.He just laughed and said "After this,we will win all the games.Be ready to win all." At that moment,all of my friends came in and said that we had done good job.The opponent was a good team and that's why they were sponsored by a cyber cafe.I knew all of them tried to comfort me by saying good things.I really appreciated them even deep inside I knew they were also frustrated because we lost that game.
After listening to their motivations, I had recovered from my bad feelings.I felt ease and calm and ready for the next game.While waiting for the next game,we discussed our strategy and we laughed a lot.I felt so good to have that kind of friends.They were really supportive.
The second game we got to play in the room number 1.All of us put our best effort to win that game.We killed opponent characters so many times.We led the score but sadly we lost that game.
But all of us satisfied because we had put our best effort to win.I personally satisfied with the second game because I threw my best shot.I had nothing to regret.
What I've learned from this event is never let people who are feeling down alone.Motivate them and I'm sure they will remember it till the end of their life.From now on,I will try to motivate people who are down mentally because I have realized the importance of motivation.A simple motivation sure leaves a huge impact on people's life to be stronger than before.That's all my grandchildren.I need to sleep awhile.I have football practice after this.Take care of yourself dear.Love you...taaa
