After graduation, Chase became a full-time eSports player. He was indeed a genius in this field.
However, due to his special hobbies, people tended to neglect how great he was. Therefore, when Chase won the championship, everyone, including Randy, was a little surprised.
Chase didn't usually stand out in training matches, but he performed very well in official competitions.
Some people were able to do well in their daily practice matches, but they would get cold feet in real competitions. Once they got nervous, their palms would sweat. The more nervous they were, the worse they performed. In the end, they would lose badly.
Randy had never let Chase compete in an official tournament. Because Randy was worried that if Chase lost the competition, he would feel frustrated and afraid to compete again.
That's why Chase didn't win his first championship until he was 21.
What surprised Randy was not that Chase won the championship.
