Description
A tale of two groups' unlikely friendship, which starts over a lost wallet at KCON in Los Angeles. One is the legendary Girls' Generation, beloved the world over, while the other is Cloud 9's League of Legends team, carrying North America's hopes on its shoulders.
As C9 arrives in Korea for the 2014 World Championships, they learn of the drama surrounding SNSD that leaves the future of one of its members in doubt. Friendships between the groups, which have started at KCON, grow and evolve, and when one Soshi makes a decision that rocks both teams as the tournament progresses, Cloud 9 makes a choice that raises the stakes and transforms the relationship between the groups.
If you had one song to sing, one battle to fight...who would it be for? Both groups are about to face that question...and the world is about to find out what their answers are.

At KCON 2014 in Los Angeles, Girls' Generation was one of the headline acts. That year, OGN brought League of Legends to KCON for the first time, inviting CJ Entus Frost and Cloud 9 to play at the event, and C9 has photos with IU, Teen Top and VIXX to prove it. This gave me the idea to do a story based around C9 meeting SNSD as well and leading into the 2014 World Championships. I've written before, but this is my first time on AsianFanfics and I hope I can do a great job.
Here's the C9 roster you'll see in the story. Bear in mind that with the exception of me and Aurora (who is based on a friend of mine who also plays League), every member is a real person, and I'll do my best to do them justice. This will mean some profanity, although I'll do some censoring of that too for any younger readers.

Additional Background
Ahead of Cloud 9 playing at All-Stars (now divided into the Mid-Season Invitational, or MSI, and All-Stars) 2014 in Paris, not only is Hai hospitalized with a collapsed lung, but LemonNation is also hospitalized after a freak accident breaks his arm. As stand-ins, Cloud 9 calls up two players who have played on their Tempest sister team in the Challenger Series: support Aurora and mid laner Carlo, both of whom are also K-Pop fans. The team shocks all comers and wins the All-Star Invitational, and as a result, they elect to have Aurora and Carlo become starters for the NA LCS Summer Split, with Carlo swapping to top laner and LemonNation also becoming a coach in addition to a substitute. When the team is invited to play at KCON, they hold first place in the NA LCS and are tipped by many to win their third straight championship.
