When I was young, I believed in love, but was scarred all over.
After many years, no longer believing in love, the best Mo Ran in the world appeared.
I saw the light again.
2015, Washington. League of Legends global finals scene.
Five young people stood on the stage, wearing black team uniforms. His face was solemn.
The person in the middle came out, holding the championship trophy in his hand, and bowed deeply to the audience. The host handed over the microphone and said quietly in front of people all over the world: "From today on, I will no longer participate in the competition." His tone was light and he could not tell the difference between joy and sorrow.
The world is boiling.
Their myth is that they have won two consecutive world finals and are the number one mid laner in the world - Ran. How many people began to feel sorry and shed tears.
During the backstage interview, the reporter asked him why he chose to retire.
He laughed it off and said, "I am old and leave the stage to the younger generation to chase."
But this year, I am 27 years old. I have been a competitive game player for so many years, three years of StarCraft, three years of Dota, and two years of League of Legends. Ran felt exhausted.
"Are you planning to retire and get married?"
"No..."
"Are you thinking about having a girlfriend? I wonder what kind of girlfriend our world's number one mid laner is looking for?"
Ran thought about it and said casually: "The League of Legends can beat me."
Such casual remarks became his last words in public. Many people are left speculating whether he doesn't like the opposite sex.
After Ran left the world stage, many people gave up on the game. Their faith was gone, and so were they.
