As the lights and colors flashed on the stage, Lilith knew this was it. The humming crowd faded away as she locked in her focus. She turned to her team, Blaze Byte, a soft smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, knowing this was her last match. It had been 4 years since she joined the pro Valorant scene. She was 17 when she signed with Blaze Byte. The experience was amazing, the people, the places. But the mental strain was catching up to her. The grueling practice schedules. The late-night training sessions. She started wondering what she could have done if she had continued her education after high school. What would she have done? Where would she be now? She wanted to find out, and it was time to step away from the pro gaming scene. She walked to her seat, feeling excited but unsure of the future. But that didn’t matter right now. As she sat down, the cold chair gave her a slight chill. In her hand, the mouse effortlessly glided across the desk. What she knew for certain was that she was about to kick some ass!
