When Shen Lu was sixteen years old, he was playing ranked in an Internet cafe. He defeated five opponents by himself, and was introduced into the professional circle by a passing small club owner.
His ID is sala, which is an English word he misspelled when he was twelve years old. The style of play was equally unruly - one person was trying to win the whole game by himself.
HPL has lost to South Korea in consecutive years, and Shen Lu thinks it is because he is not there.
From the secondary league to the professional arena, from HPL runner-up to the disastrous defeat in the World Championship, public opinion wrote him as a "cancer ADC". The next year he signed with his arch-rival CY, an All-China class, and his new teammates asked him on the first day: Can you really beat five with one?
For the first time, he didn't answer directly.
