Zhao Yuange, known as TOWER, is the captain of the DCY team. Fans jokingly call him "Bro Loot". His mechanics aren't top-tier, but he's extraordinarily lucky, and excels at leading his team to victory with all sorts of bizarre tactics. Unfortunately, that was all two years ago.
Two years earlier, during the summer season of Collapse World, TOWER's luck buff seemed to suddenly stop working. They were completely shut down by W2's strategist, SNOW, and lost. Zhao Yuange retired, bearing all the blame.
After retiring, Zhao Yuange took a civil service exam. By chance, he learned that Liang Xuesong, the SNOW who had ended his esports career two years earlier, had died of an illness.
He sighed at the cruel twists of fate, but after falling asleep and waking up, he found himself reborn three years in the past, before the start of the spring season two years ago.
The first thing he did after being reborn was run to rival team W2, snatch their strategist right under the bewildered stares of their players, and take him straight to the hospital.
They couldn't lose the matches! The team couldn't disband! They could lose to their rivals, but Liang Xuesong absolutely could not die!
.
As Liang Xuesong stood there completely baffled, Zhao Yuange dragged him out of the club and shoved him into a taxi. At the same time, a text from his older brother, Liang Bingyi, popped up on his phone: "Little bro, the car's here. Head to the hospital now."
Holding up his phone, Liang Xuesong kept his expression icy, but his heart was racing. He was so nervous he felt itchy all over, and so excited he could hardly contain himself as he replied: "Go on ahead, bro. My idol kidnapped me. He's taking me to..."
Liang Bingyi: "..."
Taking you to my ass!!!
.
Later, on the night the world championship ended, Liang Xuesong bought a ticket home in the middle of the night.
The moment Zhao Yuange stepped off the plane, he saw Liang Xuesong wearing a TOWER fan shirt and holding a bouquet of flowers as he rushed over and pulled him into his arms in front of all the fans there.
Zhao Yuange was a little stunned. "What the heck?"
Liang Xuesong leaned against him, his voice seductive. "Nothing. I love you to death."
"Get out of here. How come you never went easy on me when we duo-queued at the club?" Zhao Yuange laughed, cursing him out.
Liang Xuesong was a man of principle. "Don't worry, I won't go easy on you tonight either."
Zhao Yuange: "Get lost!!!"

Both are reborn + younger love interest + rival teams
(The two will transfer to the same team later. While they're on different teams, neither will throw matches. They keep their relationship private, and when they face each other, they'll beat each other to a pulp.)
Zhao Yuange is the bottom.
A cool, aloof heartthrob in public and an arrogant, devoted puppy in private, top x a retired, money-loving, quick-tempered old civil servant (?) bottom. (These character descriptions aren't completely accurate, just a general idea. The picture is for reference only; the real thing takes precedence.)
The game is fictional, and all characters and events are fictional, with no real-life models or references! Any resemblance is purely coincidental. If the resemblance is particularly strong, I'll change it! I'm a coward, so just tell me and I'll change it! (Looks up meekly.)
My profile has completed novels. I have a large stockpile of chapters and will update regularly.
Please be understanding where things differ from reality. Also, the author isn't a gksk. Every plot choice is only there to fulfill the outline.
Theme: Make up for past regrets and bring glory to the country
