“If only we could have won everything that day.”
Jiang Yao, once a mid-lane prodigy, has been biding his time at a youth training camp, trapped by a hand injury and a contract.
Three years ago, he stood on the World Championship stage and fought through to the final game.
But after giving it everything he had, his former team shelved him.
Then, on a rainy night in early spring, three years later, he met Shen Silan at the training camp.
This newly debuted top-lane prodigy burst into his life through the rain like a stray dog.
The boy's words and actions brimmed with a fiery vitality that burned through Jiang Yao's last reserves of restraint.
He shed his disguise, wanting only to take the boy at his side and claim the title.
“Private review sessions with me are charged by the session.”
“Aw, Captain Jiang, why bring money into it? That's so formal. I can always offer myself instead.”
A team cobbled together from odds and ends. A group of boys nobody believed in.
They let their wildness run free as they grew in the league.
From overlooked trainees at the bottom of the ladder to world-class star players.
"Bonus scene"
Before the World Championship final of a new year, the last two teams competing for the title gather at the stadium to film a promotional video.
Stars sparkle overhead in the open-air stadium late at night.
Shen Silan gazes up at the bright night sky and reaches out to grab at it in front of Jiang Yao.
“Captain Jiang, Captain Jiang! After tomorrow, I'll pluck a star for you and print it on our jerseys. How's that sound?”
“What are you asking for this time?”
“Can I ride on your shoulders while we lift the trophy tomorrow?”
“Get lost.”
