A Retired Esports Pro Becomes a College Training Camp Coach

Eighteen-year-old Lin Xiao grew up in a single-parent household and earns money for internet access by working at an internet cafe. His mother hopes he will find a proper job, but he secretly pursues his esports dream. He makes his mark in the arena of Pinnacle, carrying new players to victory with his skill and turning down teams to enter the qualifiers alone. After countless all-night practice sessions, his fingers ache, but he keeps going. A five-kill streak leaves the whole arena stunned. A video of his performance goes viral on the small-town forums, and he spends all his championship winnings on equipment. News coverage sparks debate: his teacher sighs with regret, and a former teammate comes by to recruit him, but Lin Xiao insists on competing solo. A female commentator follows his progress in secret, and a team sends him an invitation to try out. With his bag on his back, he leaves home to chase his dream, taking his first steps from grassroots upstart to professional player. He will prove himself through skill and break through adversity, showing everyone that esports is a legitimate path too!
