Please Let the Coach Shine Alone [Esports]

After spending more time on the field than anyone else on his league team and winning the grand slam, Shen Churan retired in a blaze of glory.

He had a cool, detached gaze and a distant manner, earning him a reputation as the esports scene's personal air conditioner. He always left people with the same impression: a cold, unbeatable figure walking away.

Everyone regretted Shen Churan's retirement. Yet on the very first day after retiring, he reinvented himself as a comedy streamer.

The esports world was in an uproar. Why would a recipient of the highest honor go into streaming?

People's opinions of Shen Churan plummeted.

Two years later, China lost at the world championships for The Peak Battle. Shen Churan was appointed head coach of the national team in its hour of need, setting off another uproar.

As soon as Shen Churan took charge, he launched sweeping reforms, bringing in many unexpected players, including people who sounded utterly unreliable: the worst player in the league and an unknown amateur star, among others.

The criticism came in wave after wave. Then, during a livestream, a famously cool professional player broke down sobbing while talking about the national team. Netizens rose up in protest: "A useless coach has no business leading the national team!"

A certain amateur star and a certain ace came forward to explain: "Everything's fine. The cool guy just broke down after writing his self-criticism."

The cool guy: "Everything's fine, but I'd like to save a little face, too."

In the end, the national team had no choice but to start a livestream. Viewers saw the once-cold esports idol, Shen Churan, the fake comedy streamer, unleash his sharp-tongued sarcasm on a bunch of professional players who looked like little chicks.

"Tsk, scatter some rice on the keyboard and even a chicken would play better than you."

"Your wins are all alike, but your blunders are a wonderland of variety. Even peacocks aren't as flashy as you."

"I get it. You have to throw the game first before you start playing. Are you deliverymen or what?"

The viewers: "???"

This was nothing like what they had imagined!
