He Congbai x Lu Zhizhou
[Younger, hot-tempered, wolfdog AD top x laid-back, cool-headed support bottom]
[1] The day after Lu Zhizhou's eighteenth birthday, he transferred to the LPL professional league and became the starting support for the powerhouse team KE. He won the championships of all three major leagues and even took home the highest honor of Summer Split FMVP.
For a time, he was unmatched. Every player believed he was the best support in the top lane and that KE would surely win the LPL's first-ever world championship.
Who could have guessed that KE would fall in the World Championship semifinals that year? Lu Zhizhou's unbelievable mistakes across three consecutive games pushed him to the center of the storm, and a torrent of insults came his way.
For the next two seasons, he was benched, stuck watching the water cooler for a whole year.
A commentator lamented: "Gu Zhou was a shooting star among champion supports, blazing for a moment before falling."
During the S19 winter transfer window, Lu Zhizhou joined the up-and-coming team AK, finally getting another chance to start.
[2] From his first day in the LPL, He Congbai was hailed as "a star sent from heaven." At eighteen, he was the last hope for the country's AD carries, and countless teams came forward with astronomical offers.
AK offered the biggest contract, reportedly breaking the industry record.
"You'd have to be a fool to turn down money."
He Congbai scrawled his name on the contract, then went off whistling to meet his new support.
But it turned out to be...
That useless support Lu Zhizhou, who threw three games in S18?
He Congbai: "Damn it, I'm out! You promised me a galaxy of a team, and you give me this kind of support?"
AK's manager: "White, the buyout clause in the contract you just signed is 200 million."
He Congbai: "Forget it. Starting today, I'm an orphan. If you play AD, you've got to be ready to carry."
[3] The first time He Congbai saw Lu Zhizhou, he stared at him for a long time.
"Pretty, but useless. Still useless."
After playing a few scrims together, he realized something was off from the fluidity of his support's plays.
He Congbai: "Come clean. Were you match-fixing back then?"
Lu Zhizhou smiled without answering and started another game as Thresh. His peerless hooks nearly reeled He Congbai's soul right out of him.
Later, the two stood side by side at the S20 Finals, listening to the roar of the crowd and its countless cheers.
He Congbai clasped Lu Zhizhou's slightly trembling hand beneath his sleeve.
With ringing conviction, he said:
"Brother Zhou, I'll be there with you when the golden rain falls."
"This is the first time. We'll see it fall many more times."
#Cat and dog in the bot lane, never surrender#
#No one stays eighteen forever, but the eighteen-year-old me will love you forever#
