Once mocked as a “hot-air loser,” former commentator Shen Zhao teams up with the taciturn genius Lin Lu to form an unconventional esports team.

The data witch Bai Ni, Qiao Ye, an old friend operating undercover, and Su Tang, his ex-girlfriend secretly vying with him, are among the hidden players gradually making their moves. When “trash-talk tactics” are banned, they must use words to rip away the professional league’s hypocritical mask. Who says winning a match has to come down to fast hands?
