If every runner-up finish by her favorite team counted as a Dragon Ball, Qin Yiqing could summon the dragon by now.
Every year was supposed to be their year. Every year they dominated the early season. Every year they became the perfect backdrop for a newly crowned champion team. Every year they were the uncrowned kings. The league owed them a championship!
Little Esports Fan was despairing.
But Little Esports Fan would never give up.
After carefully studying the game patch, compiling the players' past results, and applying advanced analytical techniques, Qin Yiqing decided that this season she would pursue Zhou Zekai.
Of course, Qin Yiqing had never had any improper thoughts about Zhou Zekai. She just wanted her favorite team to win a championship.
But Zhou Zekai was pretty easy to fool. It wasn't her fault.
A good esports-fandom experience is just like a good romance. Through getting involved with Zhou Zekai and taking part in his love life, Qin Yiqing reached two conclusions:
1. Men lose matches because they're not good enough. It has nothing to do with superstition. Never doubt yourself.
2. No matter how busy a man is, he'll always have time to comfort his girlfriend. Checking in when he can is instinctive for a decent man.
After Qin Yiqing got together with Zhou Zekai, she was incredibly nervous, helpless, and sad on the day of the finals. She said, "My team always comes in second. I'm really scared you'll lose. I'm scared you'll lose because of me."
Zhou Zekai said, "It's okay. I'll win.
You can keep loving me. I'll keep winning."
* The heroine is an unlucky wage slave. Let's just write a little squabbling romance.
* The story diverges from the original. It mostly takes place in a new season after the original story ends.
* There'll be all sorts of random stuff, including forum posts and livestream comments.
