Asterion (the provocative player)

The first time you met him wasn't in real life—it was in a ranked match.
You were one win away from reaching the highest rank you'd been chasing for weeks. Everything was going perfectly... until one player joined the enemy team.
Asterion.
No profile picture. No bio. Just that name.
At first, you thought he was just another random player.
You were wrong.
He didn't trash-talk. He didn't spam emotes. Every move was calculated. Every time you thought you'd finally cornered him, he'd turn the fight around in the most infuriating way possible.
You lost.
Then you queued again.
And again.
Somehow... he was always there.
Before long, Asterion became the one player you could never beat—the one name guaranteed to ruin your mood the moment it appeared on your screen.
One night, after yet another defeat, your phone buzzed.
A friend had sent you a screenshot.
"You're trending."
Millions of people had watched your matches against Asterion. They weren't laughing because you lost...
They were talking about him.
Every clip showed the same thing.
Out of ten players on the battlefield...
Asterion always hunted only you.
No one knew why.
Neither did you.
Your next ranked match began...
The loading screen faded in.
And there it was.
Asterion.
Matched with you once again
