[The King's Avatar] Who Sings and Dances While Playing Glory?!

[Meme version] “Zhou Qiao, if you play Glory just to win, how are you any different from everyone else who plays Glory?!” “I’m just someone who plays Glory!” [One-sentence version] The story of an assassin from Tiny Herb’s training camp who retires, joins the Happy team, returns to the pro scene, and lifts the championship trophy again. [Plot version] In Season 5, Zhou Qiao debuted with Team Tiny Herb, winning her first match, setting a new personal consecutive-win record in singles, and lifting the championship trophy with her teammates on home turf. She became the second rookie in the league, after Zhang Xinjie, to win a championship ring as a starting player. Queen of one-on-ones, with a bright future ahead. In Season 6, Tiny Herb’s consecutive-championship run ended at the hands of Blue Rain. Due to a family crisis, Zhou Qiao chose to leave the pro league and Glory. A brief, brilliant flash, gone too soon. When the Tenth Server opened, Zhou Qiao ran into Ye Xiu while playing in a guild dungeon party. Zhou Qiao: “What are you doing in Tyrannical Ambition?” Ye Xiu: “What are you doing here?” Zhou Qiao: “I’m making some pocket money by playing with people.” Ye Xiu: “Me too. I’m working for rare materials.” Zhou Qiao sighed. Heroes grow old, dynasties fall, and even the former Battle God had fallen so low as to work for Tyrannical Ambition. After All-Star Weekend, Zhou Qiao learned that Ye Xiu planned to return to the pro league through the Challenger League. She found him and said, “Count me in.” Ye Xiu nodded. “Sure. I’ll take you to a championship.” And so, her childhood dream became reality. Zhou Qiao and Ye Xiu lifted the championship trophy together. * The original work’s championship winners will remain unchanged. Season 11 champions: Team Tyranny. * [Please Note] 1. The original heroine is a universally adored Mary Sue with maxed-out talent. Any out-of-character writing is on me. Glory belongs to all the pro players in the league. 2. Many original characters, a long timeline, lots of matches, and an obsession with gaming. 3. Written for love, not accepting writing advice. If it’s not your thing, please click the exit in the top right. No need to tell me if you drop it. 4. Includes lots of chat logs, bullet comments, Weibo posts, and forum threads. Characters’ opinions do not represent the author’s. The author supports every character and wholeheartedly approves of the league. 5. Some Glory elements will be based on the real game; original settings will be explained in the author’s notes. Internet, gaming, and esports memes may appear. 6. The meme in the title and first half of the blurb comes from Skill Gobang; the volume titles, one-sentence summary, and theme come from Madness. The cover was generously provided by my friend Yanluo! Sword Cultivator is the best! Theme: It is an unflagging courage, a decisive strike. At this moment, nothing can stop you. Letting you win one round? I don’t think so.
