Sitting by the window in the car, Madlife held his chin and looked out the window, but somehow remembered the situation when he was asked what his dream was when he participated in a show called spcatstv. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

To this day, he still vividly remembers saying that he said "dream" at that time, hoping that the name "MadLife" would remain in the history of esports and become a player who will still be remembered even after retiring!

Thinking about it now, there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.

......

MadLife was introduced to StarCraft at the age of seven and fell in love with the Aeon-of-Strife game mode, after which he began to play League of Legends on the recommendation of a friend.

To this day, he can still remember when he first started playing League of Legends.

At that time, his first hero was Akali, and his position was ADC, but after becoming a professional player, he began to transform into support.

After that, just like the golden wind and jade dew, MadLife became famous in the support position for his outstanding gameplay. Especially when he uses non-directional skill-based heroes such as Hammerstone and Britz, he is often able to predict exactly where the enemy will move and land and die.

And behind all this, there is a hidden effort of MadLife alone in private. He can use the stupid method of taking notes before each match, tirelessly analyze the positioning habits of each opponent, and then complete the god-like prediction of the match.

And at this point, I have to say that Madlife's mother, a very ordinary Korean housewife, when Madlife is destined to be different from other children's life path, Madlfie's mother has been very trusting and supportive of him since he first entered the e-sports career, and she will watch his every game on time.

Before each race, Madlife receives a text message from his mother cheering him on; And after the game, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. He would receive text messages from his mother either encouraging or approving.

If every esports player has a teacher in their life, MadLife feels like he has two, one is a coach and the other is his mother.

Madlife once said in an interview: "Sometimes when I see a text message from my mother, I really feel the urge to cry. She's my biggest fan. I'm always grateful for that. ”

In the past few years, in the beginning, every time he got the prize money he won in the competition, he would always use the prize money to buy gifts for his mother to express his gratitude, because he felt that he was able to win the competition. There is also a share of the mother's credit.

He still remembers the smile on his mother's face every time he came home with a gift, and that smile was both relieved and faintly proud.

But in the past year, Madlife has failed again and again, and passed by the championship again and again, so that Madlife has forgotten how long it has been since he has been home.

......

After getting out of the car, Madlife hesitated for a moment at the door when he passed by a jewelry store, but still walked in.

When it comes out. He was holding a beautifully packaged box in his hand.

Madlife's current home is in an upscale residential neighborhood in Seoul, so upscale that it could cost decades of salary if his staff father bought it.

For Madlife in the previous two years, these were just two more advertising endorsements that they didn't hate too much.

When he got home, Madlife took out the key to open the door, and quietly changed his shoes at the entrance of the door.

Everything in the house hadn't changed much from the last time he left, and when he heard the familiar noise coming from the kitchen, Madlife opened his mouth and called out, "Mom."

The noise in the kitchen suddenly stopped. After a while, a woman dressed in an ordinary Korean housewife costume walked out.

"Minqi is back!" The woman looked at him with a smile on her face, and continued, "There have been no games in this time. ”

"Hmm." Madlife nodded. Barely squeezing out a smile, he took out the beautifully wrapped gift from behind and said, "Mom, a gift for you." ”

"Good, good." The woman smiled and wiped her hands on her apron and carefully took the box, "Yes." We are sensible. ”

The pampering and praise in his eyes is the same as when he was a child many years ago.

"Mom, I'm leaving." Madlife was silent for a long time, but still spoke.

When he said this, Madlife lowered his head, and he felt inexplicably guilty in his heart, as if he had lived up to some kind of expectation that he had been expecting.

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her eyes were full of softness and said, "It's okay, it's okay to leave the team, come back to rest and rest when you're tired, your mother will always support you." ”

……

When his father returned, the family gathered for lunch, and after the meal, Madlife returned to his room, lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

At this time, he remembered a lot, including the determination when he first stepped into e-sports, the scenery when he was full of e-sports honors, and the imitation when the idea of retirement actually popped into his mind not long ago.

However, behind all this, there is always a figure by his side.

Madlife sat up suddenly, picked up the phone he threw at the bedside, and looked at the phone that Cha Ji-hoon had left for him when he left the club today...

Suddenly, an irrepressible strong thought welled up in his heart.

The championships that I owe me all those years, I want to get them back one by one...

......

When Lee Sang-hyuk received a call from Kim so-jin, he couldn't believe that such a legendary assistant would join his newly created club so suddenly, but after learning about his past, Lee Sang-hyuk suddenly felt that he could understand all this.

It was a real, pure esports player who wanted to win the championship above all else. Rather than "eating and waiting to die" with a high salary in a club, they are more willing to leave everything behind and fight again.

For such players, they need to affirm their value by winning the championship, and the championship has nothing to do with honor for them, but is just a proof of existence.

And the reason why Lee Sang-hyuk can understand this unknown emotion is because he ran away from home in his previous life, and he is also such a player! (To be continued.) )
