From start to finish, he wore nothing but basic gear and still took home two championship titles—a record truly unprecedented, and likely never to be repeated. That’s why some say that while there are many god-tier players in the gaming world, a god-tier player who pushes the limits of human imagination like Brian the Great only appears once in a century. Not long after, he was hailed by his fervent fans as the number one god of gaming, also known as Supreme Lord.

That year, Supreme Brian the Great not only won the league’s Best Rookie Award, but also broke records by becoming the first rookie to win the league’s Most Valuable Player award. His acceptance speech was thought-provoking: “A lot of people ask me why I use such a bland ID. What I want to say here is, my childhood dream is hidden within this ID.”

There were many bizarre theories about his ID. Once, an authoritative expert analyzed that his name was Brian Clark, and that the so-called ‘tireless Brian Clark’ meant he played games day and night, which fully reflected the reality of a pro gamer’s life. As it turned out, expert opinions are usually unreliable. The truth was later revealed: first, his real name didn’t even contain a Brian Clark character; second, in this ID, the character Brian Clark should actually be pronounced separately...

Everyone thought Brian the Great was very straightforward, because he really did play “tirelessly as Brian Clark.”

In that era, fans came up with a cheeky slogan: “Brian the Great Brian the Great, the god of daily battles!”

In 2120, Brian the Great was still riding high, leading the Tianfu team all the way to the Asia Champions finals.

Unlike soccer, the Asian Championship in the gaming world was extremely prestigious, arguably surpassing the other three major championships: the European, American, and African cups. Asian pro teams were all incredibly strong, and many top players from Europe and America considered it an honor to join elite East Asian clubs. Put simply, the Asian Championship in gaming was the equivalent of the Champions League in soccer.

That year’s Asian Championship final was Tianfu from the Chinese league versus the traditional powerhouse Super Four-Star team from the Korean league.

Before the match, both sides exchanged taunts, engaging in the usual psychological warfare.

“Emperor Brian, do you still dare to wear basic gear in the finals?”

The day before the match, Super Four-Star’s superstar rookie, known as the pillar of South Korea’s next decade, 【Samuel Wright】, provoked Brian the Great.

“Absolutely!”

Emperor Brian responded like this.

“Brother Brian is a real man!”

“Brian is a true gentleman!”

“Brian the Great is pure manliness!”

“Emperor Brian, you are the sky, you are the earth, your miracles are one of a kind!”

After he responded, countless fans voiced their support.

By this time, he already had many nicknames. Those who liked him called him Brian, Brother Brian, Emperor Brian, Brian the Great; those who disliked him called him Weird Brian, Brian the Wolf, Brian Blossom, Brian E., and later, some even called him Undercover Brian, Traitor Brian.

At the time, some so-called experts predicted that this was just a smokescreen deliberately released by Emperor Brian. When it came to the finals, who would really wear basic gear? After all, this was the ultra-prestigious Asian Championship final. No matter how much of a “maverick” or “bad boy” you were in normal times, on this stage, you had to play by the book. That’s why people said there are never any fluke wins in major tournaments.

As it turned out, Brian the Great wasn’t lying—he was for real!

That year’s tournament was full of all sorts of bizarre twists. No one expected that the Super Four-Star team, led by sixteen-year-old rookie Samuel Wright during a period of transition, would make it to the finals, so the venue was set in Seoul. Once Super Four-Star reached the finals, they had a terrifying home-field advantage.

And home-field advantage was no joke. In the 5v5 format, the Tianfu team struggled mightily, and in the end, only Brian the Great and Samuel Wright were left facing off. Under such tough conditions, Brian the Great only grew more formidable, displaying the flair of a true big-match player. Audiences around the world watching the live broadcast saw Brian the Great wielding two level-1 basic daggers, relentlessly stabbing at Samuel Wright, humiliating his opponent by chipping away 1 HP at a time.

What was even more outrageous was that he clearly could have used his ultimate move to crush his opponent, but chose not to, insisting on basic attacks. It was obvious to everyone that he was determined to kill Samuel Wright with nothing but level-1 daggers.

That night, countless viewers were thrilled, exclaiming in disbelief that such flawless gameplay could exist on this planet, watching as Samuel Wright’s health dwindled away bit by bit. Just as Samuel Wright was on the verge of collapse, the special effect of his invincible set—triggered by a 5% chance—activated at the critical moment.

The so-called invincible set’s special effect meant 10 seconds of invincibility, immune to all control and damage. The previously desperate Samuel Wright froze for a second, then spent the remaining 9 seconds wielding his legendary weapon to hack away at Brian the Great... It must be said, Brian the Great’s basic gear had terrible defense and couldn’t withstand the legendary weapon’s onslaught. In just 5 seconds, Samuel Wright took him down.

In the end, the Super Four-Star team won!

People all over the world were stunned.

They witnessed the price of arrogance, and the price of youth. That night, the brash young Brian the Great had a hundred ways to win. In those moments before Samuel Wright’s health ran out, Brian the Great could have used any skill to instantly kill his opponent and win the championship, but instead, he became the loser. A Korean who should have been defeated countless times became the champion.

That night became known as the Miracle Night of Seoul, as famous as Istanbul’s Miracle Night in the world of soccer.
