After Retiring, I Became the Best in the Nation

[Esports + humiliating scumbags + comeback + high-octane action]

I'm Jiang Chen, a former professional prodigy. When I refused to throw matches, my team benched me and demanded thirty million yuan in compensation.

On the day I retired, I had just 47.5 yuan to my name.

With nowhere else to turn, I picked up a battered keyboard, went incognito, and took the codename “Sacrificial Pawn.”

While my former teammates partied at nightclubs, I pulled all-nighters at internet cafes. When the league blacklisted me, I fought my way to a foothold in underground matches.

Just when everyone thought I'd vanished for good, I returned to the arena ranked number one on the national server.

After the match, a reporter asked if I had anything to say to my former team.

I looked into the camera and said just seven words:

“Championships shouldn't be fixed in advance.”

The entire esports scene was turned upside down.

With pure, unadulterated skill, he tore apart the facade of esports, controlled by capital and scripted outcomes.

“Matches shouldn't follow a script.”

This is a one-man war, a sacrificial pawn declaring war on the entire world.
