On the eve of the S16 season, winter fell over esports and investors pulled out.
Imported Korean mid-jungle players viciously mocked local talent, while long-established clubs kept throwing in the towel.
Su Bai, who had transmigrated into this world, held a fortune in cash and looked at the legendary names struggling on the bench or at the brink of retirement. He gave a cold laugh.
No money? From the start, he'll spend 150 million to buy an LPL slot outright and build a luxurious, top-tier training facility!
Holding players hostage with contracts? He'll slap 30 million in cash in front of the crooked owner. "Take the money, sign, and let them go!"
When the starting lineup for Dawn Esports (Dawn) was announced, the whole internet went completely wild!
Top: The man who descended like a god that year, TheShy!
Jungle: The undefeated S8 legend, FMVP, Ning!
Mid: The Spring Emperor, the god of roaming, Xiaohu!
ADC: The forever-mad dog, Uzi!
Support: The iron man and teamfight-engage machine, Ming!
You think that's all?
Head coach: Championship-winning coach Kim Jeong-soo!
