The Universally Hated Retired Esports Legend Returns [Esports]

[Esports + secret identities + retired pro returns + first love returns]

Several years ago, Zi Shixing, captain of the Season 1 championship team and a legendary esports player, abruptly retired. When he returned years later as a tiny streamer, he discovered that he had become the most hated person on the entire internet.

Random passerby A: Inside scoop: That "legend" took money from the opposing team and then retired at lightning speed, making his team miss the top eight. I've got photos of their private deal.

Zi Shixing: ??? I just didn't have any money at the time, so I borrowed two yuan from their manager for the subway.

Random passerby B: That "legend" loved to cheat and use hacks. All those insane plays he made back when he played online games were hacks. It's been officially confirmed and patched, but they kept it quiet out of consideration for him.

Zi Shixing: Want me to pull off another one for you right now?

Random passerby C: I heard he only got 56 on his high school politics exam. He's clearly got something wrong with his values.

Zi Shixing: It was 65!

Random passersby A, B, and C: I'm dying. Fans, wipe your eyes and come back to defend him! Who do you think you are? You really know him that well?

Zi Shixing: ...

Random passerby A: Admitting it? Cat got your tongue? Shameless.

Random passerby B: Shameless.

Random passerby C: Shameless.

A year later, Zi Shixing stands on the podium as champion of the professional league:

"I addressed and clarified every rumor you spread in my livestream interviews."

"I recreated everything you questioned on the professional stage."

"But this championship isn't about proving anything to you. I did it because I love the game."

Everyone knows that Li Mingyue, the league's top assassin and the greatest duelist in history, once had a secret first love in the scene. But no one has ever known who it was.

Although Zi Shixing has been mocked by everyone for years since retiring, a story about one of his diehard fans has always circulated in the scene.

The rumor is that this fan had lightning-fast typing and impeccable logic. They once fought thirty haters alone on a forum and emerged victorious.

Later, Zi Shixing discovers that the fan was Li Mingyue using a secret identity.

Zi Shixing: ?

Don't you have to train?
