I Won't Go Pro, Let Me Shine on My Own [Esports]

The top-ranked player on the server, TheONE, turned down offers from a number of clubs overseas. As soon as he returned to China, he received a whole new string of offers from top-tier teams. Lin Duyi (TheONE) turned them all down again. In his previous life, he won the Grand Slam and built a dynasty with ten consecutive victories, but illness forced Lin Duyi to quit the scene for good. Now that he has the chance to live his life over, all he wants is a healthy body and to enjoy playing games. Who knew he'd still run into all kinds of weird "harassment" online? Faced with a crowd of pro players and popular streamers hiding behind secret identities, Lin Duyi thought it over and decided to set a clear price: a professional practice partner, one thousand per match. At first, when netizens saw the price: What idiot would waste that kind of money? Later: Actually, this is pretty great... KOY's captain, after winning the league championship: TheONE deserves some of the credit for this trophy. Green, top of the solo-lane rankings: TheONE's beatings taught me how to get better. A top team coach, distraught: TheONE refusing to become a pro player is a loss for the entire esports scene. The owner of a famous streaming platform: We've offered him a huge contract, but TheONE still refuses to stream. What a shame. Lin Duyi: Thanks for asking. I'm just an ordinary couch potato who wants to lie down and play games. Who knew that, while lying around, he'd end up at the Olympic Games? Lin Duyi: Ahem... I can't resist the chance to bring glory to my country. ◆ An eighteen-year-old, health-conscious, old-soul bottom x a playboy top who's wild on the outside but pure at heart ◆ Plot-driven wish fulfillment, with a classic strong-strong pairing. ◆ A custom-built 5v5 hero-battle MOBA. It takes inspiration from games of the same genre, but you don't need to know how to play to enjoy the story. ◆ As the title says, he won't play in the professional league, but he will compete in the Olympics, held once every four years. The bottom's professional career was missing only an Olympic medal. In this parallel world, esports is an Olympic event, and he can't resist the chance to bring glory to his country. That's how strong his resolve is. ◆ No side couples, and the only mutual romance is between the top and bottom. Premise: Even a couch potato can shine.
