"With over three million people watching the livestream, The League of Legends was about the most popular grossing game. As such, its Heavenly Stairway Rankings was as competitive and aggressive as it could get. Because of the League of Legends ranking system, 90 % of the players chose the attacker positions.

With it, the players had a better chance of getting a higher position on the system’s rankings and consequentially a higher pay. Contrastingly, no one liked the support positions mainly because the ADC fought against it and they generally had no chance of being ranked.

Su Xiaofan is an experienced player in the game. After acquiring the gaming account from his uncle who promised him 3000 yuan, he quit his regular job. According him to him, 1200 yuan per month pay from working in a tile factory was much worse than the gaming gig. He would rather stay up all night playing the game than work hard for small pay. Furthermore, the game directly affected his living expenses and his grandfather’s medicine money. As such, not only did he play the game for enjoyment but also for his outgoing expenditures.

With a record 139 consecutive wins, it was ironical that Su Xiaofan achieved all this from just a mere support position. His unbelievable record shocks even the top players in the game who now see him as a threat. With just one additional win, Su Xiaofan would be granted posh gifts and become one of the most legendary players in the game. Because never before has a support player achieved such feat. However, unbeknownst to him, the deciding game was bound to contain a whole bunch of groundbreaking surprises."
