In a late-night passer-by game at an Internet cafe, high school senior Lu Chen used a set of counterattack operations to defeat the youth training genius of a professional team. This 30-second video became popular overnight, and his ID "Morning Light" was remembered by the e-sports circle for the first time.
No one knows that his father was once the captain of the legendary team "Ling Xiao" that was only one step away from the world championship ten years ago but suddenly disappeared. No one knows that behind the disbandment of that team lies the truth about capital, match-fixing and betrayal.
Lu Chen formed the grassroots team "Breaking Dawn" with three similarly underappreciated teenagers - a rebellious rich second generation, a tech geek from a single-parent family, the daughter of a retired soldier, and a genius with communication disorders. They have no sponsors, no coaches, and only an Internet cafe that is about to close down as a training base.
Starting from the city auditions, they stumbled all the way to the National Professional League. When the outside world regarded them as a "dark horse miracle", Lu Chen dug out a secret that had been hidden for ten years from his father's old notes——
The conspiracy that ruined "Ling Xiao" back then was now approaching his team again.
On the field, he uses marksmanship and tactics to defeat his opponents; off the field, he has to fight against the dark side of the entire industry. But when South Korea's old enemies, capital giants, and former traitors all stood on the opposite side, Lu Chen understood:
The real glory is not the moment when you lift the trophy, but the courage to pull the trigger even though you know the outcome may fail.
This is a story about a boy and his father, trust and betrayal, and the darkest hour before dawn. E-sports is not a one-man game, but he must take the last shot.
