From Jungler to Mage: The Road to Glory

A suspended player commentating on the World Championship for his former team?

Netizen: As AAC’s number-one jungler, he beat up the coach after last season’s matches and got suspended. Now he’s commentating on his former team’s games. Is that considered betrayal?

Netizen: As AAC’s number-one jungler, he was stuck on the bench as a substitute last season. When the team was about to lose, his former team dragged him out to take the blame. So who betrayed whom?

Netizen: Why isn’t Gu Chen playing in the World Championship? Is it because he doesn’t want to?

Lu Chengzhou: If he wants to play, he can play. If he weren’t suspended, he’d beat the crap out of Dawn right now!

Lu Chengzhou: Last season, he ganked QAG’s jungler until the guy went 0–7. If you think you can do better, then get in there!

Netizen: Son, what’s going on? We thought you were AAC’s big bad, but now you’re acting like Gu Chen’s lapdog?

Netizen: Stop insulting him. You’ve completely ruined your badass image!

The suspended player was caught up in a contract dispute. All the major teams held back, and no one made him an offer. It looked like his S9 season might slip away too.

The Ace team manager rushed over. “No team wants you? I do!”

A few months later, Gu Chen returned to AAC’s professional stage as the starting mid laner for Ace.

Pre-match interview

Commentator A: What do you think of Gu Chen giving up the jungle role to play mid?

Commentator B: It’s not exactly his comfort zone...

After one match...

Commentator B: I take back what I said. This isn’t just his comfort zone. It’s going to be his domain from now on!!!
