The global Glory league begins, and a major version update introduces the “Mythic Class” system. Ye Xiu is forced to shoulder the burden of head coach for the national team, leading veteran players like Wang Jiexi and Huang Shaotian alongside a new generation of talented rookies into battle around the world. The captain of a European powerhouse, descended from Greek gods, gives his team a tactical edge, while the Korean team uses psychological warfare to break the Chinese players' resolve. In the final, on home turf in Shanghai, Ye Xiu's “grassroots style,” running on internet cafe-grade computers, crushes the lavish Greek myth system. As the new champion lifts the trophy, Ye Xiu lights a cigarette backstage: This time, it's really goodbye.
