Egoist Striker

A local pvp penalty shootout game where one player blocks shots as a goalkeeper, and the other player egotistically fires the ball into the net as a striker by choosing specific contact points.

If the striker picks a weak contact point, the ball gets shot slowly towards the net. Beware of top corners though.

« Defeat » is a phenomenon that occurs without fail in the world of competition. Even the world’s best striker can’t win every single match.

The crucial thing is what you can learn from defeat.

Being defeated means being expelled from the field, and there’s no greater despair for a warrior. But too many mediocre people don’t properly etch that despair into their souls. Finding out that you lack talent and that your weakness defeated you… They’re afraid to acknowledge their mistakes, so they unconsciously explain it away.

It’s impressive how they don’t realize what’s happening. In order to keep all their hard work up until now from going to waste, they convince themselves that the correct course is to not give up. I call that “dream doping”. Their goal used to be making their dream come true but then they swap that out for just chasing after it.

People who delude themselves by chasing the ghosts of their dreams don’t interest me in the slightest. Dreams are meaningless unless you live to make them come true.

And that’s why defeat brings a dream to a crossroads. The most important thing in that moment is having the strength to thoroughly feel one’s own weakness :

The ability to feel despair.

When the dream you’ve devised becomes impossible to see, and giving up seems like the only option that can open new possibilities for you,

Humans who fight even harder in the face of their despair hold the power to make their dreams reality.
