Lin Xu, once a jungler on a world championship semifinalist team, retired in disappointment due to a hand injury and demons of his own.
Two years later, Riot officially launches the Hextech Mayhem professional league: random champions, mysterious augments, and fast-paced team fights in the Howling Abyss. It's an entirely new arena that turns traditional tactics on their head.
Already working as an analyst, he is discovered by a rising team for his astonishing talent in the Mayhem mode: precise timing for initiating fights, an exceptional grasp of augment combinations, and decisiveness when playing from behind.
With an old injury that could flare up again and accusations that he's a “quitter,” Lin Xu returns to the spotlight as both coach and player.
From show matches to the professional league, from the LPL to the world stage, he will lead a group of young players nobody believes in, using the most unconventional Hextech combinations to tear up every tactics manual and prove on the Howling Abyss that some thrones can only be claimed in a brawl.
