In Their Own Story
The arena lights dimmed as the crowd roared for the mid-laner. Caps stood alone on stage, not in his standard team uniform, but wearing a custom jersey bearing his name in bold lettering. The fabric felt different—lighter, yet carrying the weight of every championship run and every heartbreak that had defined his tenure. He adjusted his headset, the hum of the crowd fading into a singular focus as he prepared to step back into the digital battlefield.
