2023, Hangzhou.
I turned off the live game on my computer screen and rubbed my sore eyes. JDG vs LNG, three to two, no suspense. The barrage was saying "LPL is the most promising year again this year". I yawned and got up to pour water.
There is a yellowed poster on the wall of the living room - a group photo of the RNG team in 2017. Uzi, Xiaohu, Xiangguo, Xiaoming, and Letme, five people wearing black and gold team uniforms, smiling like fools.
I've had this poster up for six years.
After all, the Bird's Nest did not wait for them that year.
The cup was full of water, but I didn't pay attention. The hot water spread over my fingers and made me shudder.
"Fuck-"
His vision went dark.
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a strange bed, with a white ceiling above my head, and the air was filled with the scent of laundry detergent.
The phone vibrated next to the pillow.
I picked it up and looked at it. The date on the screen froze me.
October 28, 2017.
The first hot search on Weibo: #RNGVSSKT#.
Article 2: #Uzi's S7 Championship Dream#.
The door was pushed open. A young man wearing an RNG uniform leaned half in. His eyes were red and swollen, and his voice was hoarse: "Yan Junze, are you awake? The coach asked you to come over for a meeting. The BP will be decided in the fourth game."
I recognized this face.
Shi Senming.
RNG's assistant, Ming.
I opened my mouth, and the voice seemed to come from someone else's throat: "... I'll come right away."
