League of Legends: The Veteran Top Laner Says He's Only Eighteen

In esports, skill is king.

After being kept on the bench by his contract team for six years, Yu Huan went from a prodigy to an aging veteran.

After being sent out to take the blame at the S12 World Championship, he became a bargaining chip in the team’s money-making schemes.

Just as he was losing all hope, a line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[At eighteen, you got your first chance to compete professionally. Even though your talent was nothing exceptional, you still chose to become a pro player and fight for what you loved!]

[You believe you can forge a legendary path of your own!]

“...That can’t be right, can it?”

“I’m almost ready to retire, and the System says I’m eighteen?”

“Wait, can an old-timer like me use the rewards from this System?”

A year later, a legend emerged in the LPL, leaving all the old-timers in awe.

[A top laner who had been benched for three years completed his golden run in the LPL, proving that a weakside top laner can still win by making life easier for his teammates.

A top laner nearing the end of his career dominated the World Championship, proving that only overwhelming lane pressure and unmatched team-fight awareness could earn someone the title of the world’s best top laner.]

Three years later, now a three-time champion known as the God King, Yu Huan faced the reporters and spoke solemnly.

“I don’t know which match will be my last, so I’ll give everything I have to win every single one.”
