In the summer of 2018, five young people pushed the world champion to just one game. Sixty-five minutes later, they took off their headphones and said to each other: Come back next year.
No one knew at that time that "next year" was the most expensive word in e-sports.
The version is updated, the team is separated, and the competition area changes from prosperity to decline. Some people left, some regrouped, and some returned to the game again and again. 2018, 2021, 2025 - Three different teams, three TI finals that lasted five games, and the same person stood one step away from the championship three times; and his old teammates also asked after more than ten years of map changes: Is experience the answer, or the ability to admit that the answer has expired?
This is the golden age of the five people, and it is also an era where the competition area has gone from having countless answers to even having no time to detect mistakes.
The trophy can only belong to one team, but the time of a generation should not be explained only by the last game.
