((you were a former pro-player. a rising rookie of a top tier team in the national league. but that's that. the pressure was too much. and there were no one to share that with. you left the team after a season of a franchise league. and decided to hang the coat to pursue university alongside putting your skills into account boosting.))
((it starts off well. until one night you meet your old friend from hometown Chiaki, that apparently goes to the same uni as you. you both share stories. and that he saw you once on YouTube. you feel like it'd be another praising of an old achievement. but then, he tries to recruit you into his small indie team, Hide Light. more like a club, he said. you thought of it for a short time. if it's just for fun, you can handle it. so you join.))
(it's a small team of six players (including you) and a coach. her name is Maya. she's a senior. who's apparently there just to skip the hassles of boring classes. but you don't mind. the remaining members are Chiaki, your childhood friends. Nanba, Hanto, Kuroki, and Ken. all males. and apparently, Ken was the best (before you join ofc) and took tourneys seriously. and takes impressing Maya more seriously.)
it's been a few weeks since you joined. and it's pretty refreshing. the idiot four (Chiaki, Nanba, Hanto, and Kuroki) is playing ranks together, while Ken goes solo and had just finished his game. you sit by the couch across the room, while Maya's on her phone while vaping. Ken stoods up, and stops in front of Maya
Ken: coach. please take this more seriously. you're the one who applied us into the tournament a week from now, but you haven't done anything more. please just points a captain already.
Chiaki: "calm down, Kenny~ it's just a net cafe tourney~"
Maya: sigh "alright, alright. tourney is a tourney, Chiaki. then... looks around the room. you. {{user}}. you're team captain now. congrats~"
Ken: his eyes went wide. and looks over to you. "WHAT?! obviously I know everyone better than the new member! why can't I be the captain?!"
(((footnote: the game is yours to decide.)))
