[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 102

On RedTV, the value of one Moon Balloon is about 100 won.

In other words, 1000 Moon Balloons could be seen as having a value of about 100,000 won.

Well, strictly speaking, there are many things to deduct like fees and taxes, but that's the amount of money the viewer spent.

‘…100,000 won for one electronic voice?’

Then couldn't I reach the target amount just by receiving a donation like this a thousand times?

‘Of course, there would be things like fees though…….’

What if I really earn 100 million won like this?

‘…No. I’m thinking too easily again. It’s a bad habit.’

From that perspective, broadcasting was an opportunity for me to indirectly experience the harshness of life, if only a little.

Although a month isn't an incredibly long time, considering it's a no-end stream, the perceived time will be longer than that.

While I was frozen for a moment,

the chat window shook once again.

-Answer
-Answer
->>Ugh
-Trembling
-A thousand, yum~
-Tremble

Ah.

“Um… What should I answer?”

I'm dizzy.

It feels like my vision is spinning.

-Is that Outlaw your ID? Is there someone under the desk or something?
-Under the desk? Ooh la la...
-Nah, that guy crossed the line, make sure to sue him
-Are you really doing a no-end stream?

Not knowing what question I should answer, I replied to the ones I saw first.

“Uh, um… That is my ID, and I am really doing a no-end stream.”

-Crazy lol
-Declaring a lifetime stream
-Not even a Challenger no-end stream, but a Rank 1 no-end stream lololololol
-Can you really do it?
-The clickbait is amazing lololol
-But seriously, if you're a Grandmaster with 100% win rate, you'll probably reach Challenger Rank 1 quickly?
-Nah, read the room

I'm dizzy.

It was me who couldn't even properly handle one viewer. Naturally, there was no way I could handle hundreds of viewers.

“Ah, um… I don’t have any talent for talking… I’ll just queue up for now.”

Let's play the game instead.

With that thought, I queued up, but unfortunately, my MMR, which had already entered the high ranks, didn't find a queue easily.

[Searching for game…….]

-But how could you not have a talent for talking with that face? Just breathing makes me happy?
-Is this... a life where you don't need talent for talking?
-Seriously lol
“…….”

Time flows in silence.

-What is this waiting time?
-Is this the high ranks?
-A fundamental tier on a different dimension than the deep-sea dwelling Vendetta.
-Cut the slander against other streamers
-Vendetta isn't a BJ, but a pro?
-Uh... then curse him
-That's I agree lololol
-Info) The deep-sea dwelling Vendetta they are cursing is a Challenger
-Shush

…What kind of nonsense is this again?

‘That doesn't seem right… Should I kick them? But the chat window is too fast, I can't find it…….’

Suddenly, the sight of streamers freezing the chat window when kicking provocateurs flashes through my mind.

Of course, that didn't mean I intended to follow suit, though.

Ah, I don't know.

While half resigned, the queue finally popped.

At this very moment, that familiar phrase felt like a sturdy rope lowered from the sky.

[Game Found!]
[Accept / Decline]

Absolutely accept.

Even if I die soon, this is an acceptance.

For me, I can't endure the viewers without playing the game any longer.

‘The lanes got a little tangled… but the teammates aren't bad.’

Ah.

Since it's a broadcast, should I say this out loud?

It's really difficult…….

“Um… The teammates aren’t bad.”

It was something I blurted out arbitrarily because I had nothing to say, but the response wasn't bad at all.

Should I say it felt like communicating in my own way?

-2% from the start trembling trembling trembling
-Is this... a Grandmaster queue?
-Why are these guys acting like they're seeing a top-tier queue for the first time? Is it a concept?
-Oh, quiet
-Read the room

[Ban List]
Shaco / Kamal
⛝ / Lisim
Senna / Ellison
Thrash / ⛝
Tamkenchi / Nadali

-Why ban Shaco?
-Does Shaco appear even in the high ranks? Doesn't he not appear often?
-The ban is a waste...

Huh?

I just banned as usual, but I didn't expect a single ban to become a topic of conversation.

“Uh…… I just don't like Shaco much.”

It was a kind of trauma I got from being repeatedly hit in the back of the head by some persistent guys including Yoon-gi using Shaco back in the day.

Of course, if teammates paid a little attention to vision, you could dodge Shaco's ultimate, but that's because there were more times they didn't.

-Shaco hatred is I agree
-Honestly, he's really annoying lol
-Seriously Those who haven't experienced it don't know

Bans are complete.

Ally gets first pick.

In other words, they are the bottom team.

“Hmm… What should I do.”

-Worrying about first pick is I agree
-Even in the high ranks, they are people
-But if you're a Grandmaster with 100% win rate, you must have a separate main account, what's the rating on your main?

First of all, the ban situation itself is that quite a few jungle champions are banned.

That's not to say there were no champions to use, of course, but first pick has a significantly different meaning.

‘Since Lisim isn't there, Baego wouldn't be bad either… Ah, now that I think about it, there was that.’

While I was buried in advertisements and all sorts of promotional videos, there were a few patches on the Legend of League live server.

It was the usual patch that buffed some champions who had been treated as outdated and nerfed OP champions.

And, that also meant a new meta was being born.

[Jarvan IV]

In Legend of League, there are a few champions that symbolize jungle balance.

Jarvan IV is one of them, a versatile champion with excellent ganking ability as well as decent destructive power in teamfights.

However, he doesn't come without drawbacks, so if the meta is completely divided into either scaling or ganking type, he doesn't appear often, being pushed aside by other champions.

‘Well, honestly, there are more times he doesn't appear just because he was nerfed too much…….’

Since that part was a slightly different story, let's put it aside for a moment…….

In other words, Jarvan IV gets a stage to fully shine when the meta doesn't heavily lean towards either scaling or ganking type.

It's even said as a joke that the meta where Jarvan IV appears is a balanced meta between herbivores and carnivores, so he doesn't get called the guardian of balance for nothing.

‘The fact that Jarvan is starting to appear means that the jungle meta is slowly shifting from a scaling meta to a ganking meta.’

In short, the current meta, along with the buff to Jarvan IV, could be said to be a meta where jungler line intervention has become more important than before.

-Oh lol
-Jarvan is indeed OP these days
-Seriously, gotta ride the wave lol
-You haven't played Jarvan even once, are you good at him?

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

In fact, Jarvan IV was one of the champions I used quite often from way back, as he is a champion that relies less on mechanical skill.

‘Well… part of that was because the flag-and-drag hit detection was OP back then.’

The old Jarvan IV felt like a Malphite with a spear, but unfortunately, due to frequent hit detection nerfs, the flag-and-drag hit detection has become very poor, to the extent that he's even earned the infamous nicknames "toothpick" and "narrow shoulders".

-Confidence lololol
-If he messes up after this, it'll be hilarious
-Please lose please lose please lose please lose please lose please lose please lose
-The 100% win rate should be broken lol Honestly, it's crossing the line too much
-Seriously But if he maintains that win rate until Challenger Rank 1, he'll be a real legend
-Isn't he already a legend?
-That's also true

“I told you I’m good.”

Soon, the opponent's 1st and 2nd picks were completed.

[Ezreal]
[Xin Zhao]

If Jarvan is on the opponent's side, it's very burdensome to use an immobile ADC.

So the opponent first took Ezreal, who has good mobility among ADCs and is currently high tier, and then took Xin Zhao, who is a pretty good pick against Jarvan.

And it was the turn of the ally's 2nd and 3rd picks.

[MAX WooChan : To 4th and 5th pick, is it possible to swap with me?]

-Top-
-Ah lol How can top lane first pick

As expected, the spell of "Top-" was cast, but the 4th and 5th picks replied with silence.

[MAX WooChan : Tsk]

-lolololol No chance
-If you're top, pick a tank like a top laner
-Seriously lol

As he became the first-pick top laner that top laners hate the most, WooChan picked Sett as if he had no choice.

Since Sett was a champion capable of playing not only top but also mid and support, the idea was to tangle the pick as much as possible for now.

-Not bad
-When are they nerfing that fucking OP champion Sett?
-Seriously I'm tired of seeing him

“Sett is indeed a good champion.”

As I continued this communication-that-wasn't-communication with the viewers, the ban/pick phase was soon completed.

+
[Ally / Enemy]
Top : Sylas / Kennen
Jungle : Jarvan IV / Xin Zhao
Mid : Akshan / LeBlanc
ADC : Samira / Ezreal
Support : Sett / Nautilus
+

When Kennen appeared in the opponent's top lane, the support swapped with top.

And even a newly appeared new face champion.

It seems like it will be an interesting game in many ways.

And…….

A strong seasoning was sprinkled onto the somewhat bland taste of the game.
