I'm the Substitute Mid Laner, Called Up in a Crisis to Turn the Tide

October 9, 2021, Iceland, at the play-in stage of the League of Legends S11 World Championship.

GSX, a cybercafe team from the wildcard region, was about to face HLE, the fourth seed from the LCK. Just as the match was about to begin, Riot Games suddenly announced that GSX’s starting mid laner was suspected of match-fixing and handed him a suspension. Public opinion erupted. The cybercafe team’s inspirational story, which had originally won the support of many casual viewers, was instantly condemned, and the owner and teammates lost all their fighting spirit.

The team had only one substitute top laner left, Lin Fei, who was roused from his sleep by the owner and sent onto the field as a substitute, still completely dazed.

When he fought with all his might to turn the tide, his teammates repeatedly stabbed him in the back.

Lin Fei ultimately decided to start over, building his own team from scratch.

A substitute mid laner from the Southeast Asian region;

The foulest-mouthed jungler in LDL and the oldest top laner;

The first female support to officially take the stage;

And a chuuni AD carry who liked stealing other people’s kills,

Together, they would challenge for the S12 grand slam!

Step by step, they would defeat the defending champions, the Galaxy Battleship, and even the legendary all-god squad...
