Min's age and abduction Revisited
Min: I pretty much already done a discussion on this so it's easier just to quote what I said there over here. With some slight edits because of a new perspective
The original if you're curious
Based off her main event outfit specifically the Jersey we know that she has a least being with Laser bear since 2012 as this is the earliest time we've known as she's been in a tournament as one of them.
We also know no by her default outfit and victory Polo that she won her 2016 tournament meaning losing events and spiralling into depression happened after 2016.
This would mean until we get confirmation otherwise with another cosmetic or an archives release she was part of Laser bear for four years. Adding a couple of months for before she was discovered as well as between her spiral and abduction. It's safe to say that her gaming career probably amounted to about 5 years.
Depending on the date of the 2016 tournament and how quickly things spiralled afterwards this would roughly put her abduction at late 2016 to early 2017.
This would roughly putting a stop her aging as it seems that the entity's realm doesn't allow you to age.
With her possible abduction and gaming career noted now let's try to figure out her age. This is going to be a long one
Roughly speaking we know from Benedict Baker that Min is described as a young woman meaning she is probably in her early to Mid 20s.
A lot of people would mention that in her backstory it said that she went to bars however in China the drinking age is 18 so this really doesn't help out that much. Especially considering the potential drinking happened 4 years after joining Laser bear. So if she joined at 14 she would still be eligible to drink by the time her depression hit
So to get a good grasp on her age we would roughly have to figure out what age she joined Laser bear then add 4 years and a couple months for the eventual spiral and her initial discovery
This is a little difficult to predict as the average in joining age for most esports teams tends to be around 16 to 24.
"They finally decided to pull the plug and force Feng Min to put more efforts into her studies.
She felt smothered by her parents who refused to see the potential of a future in games, so she left home and spent her time in internet cafes and LAN parties where the old rules didn't apply."
Since Min is Chinese and the relative school leaving age is 18 coupled with the fact that her parents tried to force her into studies. We know that she couldn't have left home when she was older than 18 as she would have been done with school.
Meaning Miss Feng was probably around 15 to 16 when she left home
Being generous and adding a couple months before she got picked up by Laser bear would probably mean that she got recruited around the age of 16 to 17.
As I've mentioned above she roughly spent around 4 years as part of the team before she was abducted add that to the current age we have now.
This would mean Feng Min was 19 -20 before her abduction due to the fact that she got abducted during her spiral into self-destruction and depression we could probably lock her relative final age 19-21
The reason this changed from my original post was simply because of the concept of when she left her parents house.
Parents putting their foot down normally doesn't happen with only one or two years left of school. As I said above the age that you would leave school is typically around 18 in China
As I find it highly unlikely that they would let a progressive problem fester until she only had one year left of school. This new alteration still fits within legality but offers more believable intervention time from her parents. (This comes from a discussion I had with a friend of mine who mentioned due to the rather rigid and bell curve like education structure in china parents will not usually let their kid go astray for that long)
So it's most likely she left her home younger than I initially thought so I just adjusted the ages accordingly. With this new perspective in mind it shortens the time that she would have been discovered by Lazer bears especially when you can see that she was essentially homeless at this point. Even between hopping from LAN parties and internet cafes a 16-year old isn't going to relatively last long
Essentially speaking she's about a year or two younger than I thought you was.
Once again this is all completely speculation any cosmetics or archives could immediately change this if that does happen in the near future I'll probably do an addendum again.
1) Feng Min was most likely abducted around the age of 19 to 21 ( scaled-down 2 years)
2) Feng Min probably joined Laser bear at 16 to 17 ( scaled-down 2 years)
3) Min's gaming career probably lasted around 5 years before she was abducted. 4 years with Laser bear and few months before.
4) She was most likely abducted in late 2016 or in failing that early 2017
