My Coach Went from Teammate to Boyfriend: Esports

In a nutshell: My coach started out as my teammate, then became the love of my life. Xie Gongqiu is a mid laner who plays against the meta. His team was knocked out in the summer split, finishing outside the top four, and then, just as he turned around, the team sold its league slot. The club and all its players were sold off as a package. While the fans were still reeling from the news, they heard that AEC had been acquired. When they saw the name Jing Yun on the roster, their hearts sank all over again. With all the love and hate between those two, could they really have a future? The good news: The new owner is loaded, knows esports inside out, and was the first jungler in the league to win an FMVP. He has serious clout. The bad news: The new owner has a complicated history with the team captain, and rumors say the two can’t stand each other. The even worse news: The new owner is also moonlighting as the coach. Xie Gongqiu before Jing Yun came back: He drank coffee whenever he wanted, as though it were water, even before bed. No one could stop him. Xie Gongqiu after Jing Yun came back: Who switched his coffee for milk? Coach Jing? Never mind, milk’s great! Before he came back: Sitting with his legs crossed, radiating dominance. After he came back: Sitting up straight like a good boy, because slouching can cause scoliosis. The moms among the fans couldn’t help sighing. A wife’s words really do work better than a mother’s. They’d finally found someone who could keep their disobedient son in line. * Coach is the pursuer, mid laner is the pursued. One-on-one romance, both chaste, a few misunderstandings but not many, happy ending. * The characters and teams aren’t based on real people! The game is inspired by real-life MOBA games. The game sections are pretty terrible because the author is bad at games and doesn’t understand them.
