Three years ago, Lu Jin, hailed as the “best marksman in Glory Canyon,” abruptly withdrew from competition. The entire esports community mourned the end of an era. The legend who had turned Gongsun Li into a “phantom kite” in the Canyon became a relic of the past in the eyes of veteran players.
Over the next three years, a new generation of players emerged in droves. Some took shots at the old legends on livestream, calling their old playstyles outdated “background-noise” strategies and vowing to “dethrone the old gods.”
At the qualifiers for the new league season, a mysterious player with the ID “Kite Returns” left opponents reeling with fluid attack-move kiting and predictions made without vision. When he removed his mask and revealed himself as Lu Jin, the whole internet erupted with comments saying, “My DNA is reacting.” In response to the taunts, he typed: “Three years away, the meta has changed, and I’m still unbeatable. I specialize in shutting down all that flashy nonsense.” [This story unfolds in a league format.]
Very beautiful, very real, very objective.
