Don't Create a Persona [Esports]

Chiyu (Lin Chiyu) x Tingfeng (Duan Yi)

The team was slacking off, teammates were in a slump, and the internet was full of criticism.

It seemed like things couldn't get any worse.

No one remembered that just a year earlier, they had lifted the champions' trophy on the finals stage.

Lin Chiyu, ID Chiyu, EIT's marksman.

In the spring split a year ago, EIT made its debut. Chiyu's aggressive marksman play was dazzling, helping the team reach the quarterfinals.

Then they made the semifinals in the summer split, and went on to win the championship in the autumn split.

Chiyu was named Rookie of the Year and Best Marksman of the Year.

The unrestrained passion in his eyes as he looked at the trophy after winning the championship earned Chiyu a huge number of fans.

The club took note of his good looks and made him a star player, building him an image as a gentle esports senior.

It was a striking contrast to his ferocious play during matches, and the fans loved it.

EIT's success was fleeting. The following year, his teammates' performance plummeted.

The support missed a huge initiation, the mid laner was ordinary, and the jungler only knew how to farm.

Even Chiyu's 34 percent damage output in the finals couldn't save them.

After that, they couldn't even make the quarterfinals. The team went from encouraging one another to falling silent.

Half the posts about EIT on Weibo demanded the team disband, while the other half defended Chiyu.

How could such a strong marksman not even make it to the quarterfinals?

During the transfer period after the autumn split, nearly all his teammates left, and the team manager ran off too.

Lin Chiyu squeezed a can of cola, his fingers trembling slightly. "Fine. I wish you all the best."

His boyfriend, the team's jungler, hugged him before leaving. "See you at the top."

To hell with seeing each other at the top. Lin Chiyu threw the can into the trash.

He narrowed his eyes. Next time they met, he would crush his ex-boyfriend.

Everyone thought EIT was finished.

Chiyu's fans thought so too, but they still supported EIT because EIT had Chiyu.

Chiyu was invincible.

Some people said Chiyu was a bad ID, and that Lin Chiyu really was trapped in EIT, a tiny little pond.

Fortunately, the coach didn't run off, and EIT's new manager was determined to strengthen the roster.

The new mid laner was Rhy's substitute. Chiyu had been controlled by him a few times before, and he was very talented.

As for the jungle position, they brought in a rookie. The first time they met, the rookie took Lin Chiyu's hand. His eyes and brows were full of confidence as he said with a grin, "I'm your new jungler, Tingfeng."

After the transfer period, EIT gradually hit its stride. They went from being swept 4-0 by Rhy to beating Rhy 4-3. With his new jungler, who could also be called his new boyfriend, he really did crush his ex.

Chiyu stopped maintaining his gentle image. He would curse when he lost a game and flirt with the comments, and his teammates doted on him too.

Comments: Who's so lucky to have such an adorable kid?

Comments: Fish God, don't be shy. Give us a kiss!

At least during this period, Chiyu was EIT's god.

Chiyu and Tingfeng, peerless under heaven, an immortal legend.
