League of Legends: An inspirational top laner shares his path to success, with only 200 yuan left in savings, secretly trying out for a coaching job without his parents' knowledge. (Part

The appeal of a match isn't about how impressive the results are or how intense the battles are, but rather the stories of the players. Professional players who have overcome adversity and made it to the top are the ones who resonate most with the audience. This is the true essence of the match: the spirit of sports. This player, dubbed the most inspirational top laner by netizens, is named Deng Zijian. He supports his family entirely with his own hands, refusing to engage in match-fixing, backdoor deals, or personal gain.

Deng Zijian, the king of solo kills, has no team participating.

Undeniably, the LPL region has developed rapidly in recent years, but its trend has also declined rapidly. Although there are many teams, several players have come and gone, but the core remains the same. No matter how the roster is reorganized, we still see dull veterans. In contrast, in the LCK region, youth academy players reach the Korean server championship before even making their debut, while here they are still complaining about insufficient salaries and poor results, having not won the World Championship for many years. As a result, many teams have been forced to shut down, especially mid-level players. Deng Zijian, whose ID is Shanji, is a promising young player from the youth academy, but unfortunately no team has allowed him to join and compete.

He wrote on social media that he used to play for the NIP team, but then completely retired from the stage. During the winter transfer period, he said in a live broadcast that he was still resting and there was no news of his comeback. It sounds like a story of complaining or looking for a job online. But he had a peak period. In the S12 Spring Split, he ranked first with 20 solo kills. He was the famous solo kill king. This record surpassed that of TheShy back then.

My initial goal was to support my family and bravely move forward to create miracles.

What's most touching is the story of his growth. During the off-season, he interacted with the audience through live streaming and talked about the past. He recounted how the boy who decided to become a professional player only had two hundred yuan left in savings. After dropping out of school in 2016, he won his first championship. Although the internet cafe tournament may seem insignificant, it was a good start and showed that he had competitive potential. At that time, the e-sports system was not yet complete, and if he told his family, they would probably scold him for wasting his youth.

He excitedly told his parents the news and handed them the 1,000 yuan prize money he had won. His mother immediately burst into tears. After winning the championship, he received an invitation to try out in Shanghai. Seeing that his parents were determined, they didn't try to stop him. Despite being penniless, he bravely pursued his dream and ultimately changed his life. He might not be a top athlete, but at least he earned a considerable income. At the time, his only goal was to improve his family's situation; he didn't have many other ambitions. Fortunately, he wasn't tempted by external factors and ruined his future, holding onto his principles.
