A Forced Marriage Is Surprisingly Sweet [Esports]

FT jungler Jin Zhao and LG support Xi Nian are famous for not getting along.

Jin Zhao swept the LPL titles all year, while Xi Nian won Best Support three years in a row;

The trending topic about Jin Zhao reaching the top of the Korean server had barely died down when screenshots of Xi Nian's first game on the Korean server, with Jin Zhao underfoot, spread across every forum;

One second, Jin Zhao was saying on stream that LG's support played terribly, and the next, Xi Nian had liked a Weibo post saying, "FT's jungler has no brains";

In the three years since their debuts, the two had taken countless shots at each other, and their fans had fought bloody battles of their own.

Then one day, FT and LG suddenly announced that they were merging and changing their name to FL, short for Forever Love.

The entire esports scene went wild.

"A Sweet Younger-Man Esports Romance" blurb:

[Younger, sunny, and very good at sweet-talking, a straightforward puppy-like top] x [A cool cat-like bottom who tried to shut himself off from love, but gradually lost himself in the puppy's endless flattery]

TNE is a famous LPL runner-up, having placed second in both the Spring and Summer Splits for three years running.

At S6, they finally made it to the deciding game of the BO5 finals, only for a botched engage by support Chen Jing to wipe out the whole team. Not only did TNE come second once again, but the LPL, which had never won a championship, also missed out on the title that had come closer than ever.

Everyone blamed the support, giving him insulting nicknames and mocking him for playing professionally for five years yet only ever using the same three champions: Braum, Nautilus, and Tahm Kench. They said his champion pool was shallower than a spoon.

After the World Championship ended, the mid and jungle players retired, and the AD carry left. Everyone said TNE was doomed.

But after their new AD arrived, TNE shook off its slump and swept every title that year with unstoppable force.

The new AD, named FMVP, sat down for an interview.

Reporter: What do you think was the biggest reason you won the championship?

New AD: Jing-ge taught me well.

Reporter: Besides your teammates and the team staff, is there anyone else you'd like to thank?

New AD: Player Vast. If he hadn't left TNE on his own, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Reporter: Is there anything you'd like to say to him?

New AD: I want to tell him that Jing-ge is mine now.

After the interview aired, the whole internet congratulated TNE support Chen Jing on finding a "second spring."

That evening, Chen Jing started a livestream, and the comments flooded in, demanding that he share his thoughts on the "second spring" remark.

The handsome, cool-voiced man calmly said:

"Let me clear up a rumor. It's not my second spring."

"It's my first."

Theme: As long as you keep moving forward bravely, nothing can defeat you.
