In the online game Glory, Ye Xiu is regarded as a textbook and a top-tier pro-player. However, due to a myriad reasons, he is kicked from the team. After leaving the professional scene, he finds work in an Internet Cafe as a manager. When Glory launches its tenth server, he who possesses ten years of gaming experience once again throws himself into the game. Bringing with him the memories of his past and an incomplete, self-made weapon, his return along the road to the summit begins! After fighting and scheming, who snatched away my glory? Under the tossing of the wind and rain, my dreams shall still appear as though they had never been shattered. In all its splendor, the path shall never be lost. Before the gazes of millions, this is where I return!

Blue Rain's Big Defeat! This was the front-page headline of the latest edition of Esports Weekly.
Happy won the battle, but the reports all focused on Blue Rain, as their loss on their home stage was a more interesting topic.
In any battle there was always a victor and a loser; who won and who lost was never something too surprising. When Blue Rain played their away game against Happy, they still won in the team round, and only lost by one point overall. Yet in their home game, they lost so drastically that the points didn't even need to be counted.
Group arena, lost. Team competition, lost again.
The team loss was particularly surprising – it was on a map with which Blue Rain was very familiar, yet they still hadn't been able to take the initiative.
