They called him a fraud. A sellout. The man who threw everything away. But when Alex "Caelux" Evans receives an invitation to Project Midlock, the most ruthless esports training facility ever devised, he sees one last chance—not just to prove them wrong, but to become the deadliest midlaner the world has ever seen. NA has been a joke for over a decade, a region of complacency, paycheck stealers, and mental boomers. But the U.S. government won’t let their billion-dollar industry collapse. They’ve poured $350 million into an experiment that will tear apart everything we know about competition. No teams. No friendship. No second chances. One midlaner will emerge. The rest will be broken. And the man leading the slaughter? Faker. The greatest players aren’t made through passion. They’re forged in pressure, blood, and betrayal. This isn’t about loving the game. It’s about owning it. Welcome to Project Midlock. Only one survives.
