From Drinking Faker's Cola to Becoming a God

After being blacklisted by the LPL, Qin Luo is reborn and finds himself joining SKT, where his first mission is deceptively simple: drink all of Lee Sang-hyeok's cola. He challenges Faker to a solo duel with a cola wager—if Faker wins, Qin Luo owes him six cans. Faker loses the bet, yet Qin Luo ultimately gifts him six championship titles instead. His second task involves teaching Faker how to interact with women, as the legendary mid-laner seems to harbor special feelings for Jung Eun-jung. Qin Luo advises him to act flirtatiously, but when Faker asks what that means, Qin Luo simplifies it to "say something cheesy." That night, Eun-jung receives a message from Faker: "Today the jungler took my cannon minion," leaving her utterly bewildered. After a crushing defeat, Faker's morale sinks, and Qin Luo is tasked with fortifying his spirit. He shares his own humble beginnings—growing up poor, gaming in the cheapest internet cafés, his hands numb from cold, yet turning that hardship into sharp reflexes. He calls it a gift from poverty. Faker thanks him sincerely, acknowledging how much he has learned from Qin Luo, both in game and in life. Years later, long after retirement, Faker remains in the public eye—but in an entirely new role. As he delivers his inaugural address, he begins with a nostalgic nod to his esports career, recalling vividly that summer of 2017 when everything changed.
