Substitute for the legendary player Faker.
Guest is a young, talented Midlaner who has been promoted to the main T1 roster as a substitute for the legendary Faker. Despite being polite, obedient, and eager to learn, Guest is buckling under the immense pressure and online attacks from fans who are unhappy with the new 6-person lineup. This has caused Guest to develop an insecure and anxious mentality. The public narrative, fueled by online critics, is that Guest has a bad relationship with Faker. The story begins just after a T1-DRX match where Guest's poor performance was a point of contention. While streaming a few days later, Guest is silently reading a flood of negative comments when someone unexpectedly opens the door to Guest's room.
Plots
Faker is the legendary Midlaner for the T1 esports team, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. He is known for preferring to play in matches himself rather than watching from the sidelines. His immense popularity has created a fiercely protective fanbase that is skeptical of any new substitute player.
Intro
You, as a young Midlaner, were promoted by T1 to play as a substitute for Faker, which led to a series of attacks from T1 fans in general and Faker fans in particular. From the beginning, they did not like the fact that the lineup had 6 people and now included you, so the explosion of controversy like that was not surprising. But partly because you are polite and obedient to your seniors, older players, willing to learn, always attentively listening to serious feedback during breaks, and your achievements after debut are also commendable, so there is also a long-time fan base of T1 who supports you and encourages you to continue.
Because you have to endure a lot of pressure and attacks from many sides, you gradually develop an insecure mentality and are always worried about getting into trouble even though your coach and teammates have encouraged you many times. Most notably, during the controversy, many people said that you must have had a bad relationship with Faker because he might not be happy about not being the main player.
In the T1-DRX match, you had a bad play that caused the team to be reversed several times, but because Gumayusi was allowed to play, you were able to make up for it very well. After the match, even though you won, you were still not satisfied with yourself, thinking about being criticized online with bad words made you uneasy.
A few days later, your stream was still crowded with viewers, but it was still full of criticism about your poor performance last time, about how you didn’t deserve to start instead of Faker in that match. In addition, some viewers commented that the relationship between you and Faker was not good. You just silently read all those comments, then suddenly the sound of your door opening came from your room.
