[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 116

Let's play solo queue (3)

Malphite is a tank.

Due to the nature of tanks, no matter how many deaths they have, they often fulfill their role in the team fight phase, and that was the same for Malphite, a traditional tank.

A champion that can do one person's job with one ultimate.

That's a tank, and that was Malphite.

‘Top is as far as I should go.’

Of course, if I could keep pushing top and make him completely quit, that would be another story, but given the situation, that wasn't possible, so it was right to end the investment in top here.

Because, pushing top any further would likely make the game go in a bad direction.

‘The rest depends on our top.’

Now, what our top needs to do has become simple.

Keep the initiative while putting pressure on the opponent, and at the same time, don't get ganked by the opponent.

And continue to the Herald fight while holding that initiative.

Although it's simple, it's definitely not an easy task.

However, it was also true that he had to do his part as much as he had been invested in.

‘First, we have to get ahead in growth.’

I quickly swept through the blue side jungle as well and then took a recall.

‘Soon…….’

The level 6 timing.

Eku's golden age is approaching.

Growth is not a loss.

Then how can you get a profit beyond not losing?

It's a very simple problem.

You just have to make the opponent lose.

One of the best ways to make your allies gain an advantage while making the opponent lose is a fight.

Although it's based on the premise of winning, the return is as big as the risk.

Now was the time to take that risk.

The first battlefield I chose was the dragon.

‘The first dragon depends on bottom lane dominance.’

If my only purpose was to get the dragon, I could just give the bottom lane dominance and eat it.

But my goal is to win the fight.

I need to raise the tempo a little.

I slowly expose myself to the opponent's vision in the river below.

So that anyone can see my intention.

To induce a fight.

‘Am I eating the dragon now?’

As it was a blatant intention, the viewers also fired their hooks.

-???

-Breaking News) The streamer is advertising that he is doing the dragon now

-Why is he doing that?

-There is a pink ward by the dragon, so can't he just eat it?

-Something's off

[⚑] [⚑] [⚑]

[Outlaw(Eku) requested assistance]

Allied mid and bottom.

And the opponent's mid and bottom. In addition, even the jungle.

They, who had been playing lane fights in their respective lanes, began to move towards the dragon.

‘Currently, neither team's top can join the dragon fight. If you're going to fight, now is the time.’

In other words, now was the optimal time to fight a team fight that would determine the outcome of the game.

However…….

Despite all the effort to wag his tail and induce a dragon fight, unfortunately, the opponent cleanly gave up the dragon after a while.

It was a fight that the opposing team could have fought, but they didn't throw a gamble based on the fact that Malphite, the core of the team fight, didn't join.

-Allies have slain the Ocean Dragon!

‘He’s experienced.’

-Give what you have to give ㅋㅋㅋ

-Is this solo rank or a competition?

-Why are you giving what you have to give in solo rank? It's boring

-N Next, deep sea

But giving what you have to give isn't always right.

Especially, in a meta where the 4-dragon timing has become so important these days.

‘Then just increase the speed.’

I swept through the bottom jungle and immediately headed to the bottom lane.

Even if I couldn't get results with a gank, it was to give the bottom lane dominance.

The reason is simple.

Give the bottom lane dominance, and use that dominance to continue to the Herald fight.

Giving the bottom lane the turn to move first.

[⬇] [⬇]

[Outlaw(Eku) is on the way]

At this point, the opponent's bottom lane should have retreated, but instead, the opponent's bottom lane rushed in first.

The acting skills of the allied bottom lane were very good.

‘…No, is it not acting?’

Well… whatever it is, good things are good.

-What an adari

-They are coming in first ㅋㅋ

-R.E.A.L. ㅋㅋ

The fate of Leone, who fearlessly entered the tiger's mouth, was obvious.

Leone, whose feet were tied by Morgana's quick reaction, tried to run away in a hurry, but Eku's W skill was already falling on top of his head.

No matter how tough Leone was, he couldn't survive even while being hit by Morgana Eku's CC combo and being attacked by three people.

-You have slain an enemy!

The bottom pressure, which was originally meant to stop moderately, escalated to a dive pressure.

Even the enemy's ADC, no matter if their allied jungler was nearby, couldn't hold up against a 1:3, so they backed off.

Big wave and tower shield.

It was literally a 3-kill-level benefit.

[❕] [❕] [❕]

‘Let’s get out of here.’

I’ve already pushed the minion wave as much as I could, and I’ve also mined the tower shield to my heart's content.

Endless benefits are good, but anything is good in moderation.

Now is the time to go for the first Herald through bottom lane dominance, which was the real goal.

‘If I drag it out further and can't use the bottom lane dominance, I might get reversed in the Herald team fight.’

I can’t let that happen.

[Outlaw(Eku) requested assistance]

The game is rolling rapidly.

* * *

Beijing, China, GRS Dorm.

GRS's recent results can be called unstoppable.

6 wins and 0 losses.

Considering that even teams that had good results in the previous year often falter the next year, just maintaining their skills could be considered remarkable enough, but GRS's recent momentum has surpassed even that.

If you ask how? The biggest reason behind that was the change of Nightmare, Lee Zixuan, GRS's mid-laner.

Nightmare, Lee Zixuan, was originally known for playing games centered around the mid or bottom lane.

He recently changed his style to mainly covering the jungle, and that, along with the explosive skills of Xiaolin, the newly recruited jungler, literally swept the competition.

There was no big reason for Lee Zixuan to log into the Korean server after a long time.

It's just that the Korean server solo rank itself is so good for practice, so he went in and out periodically.

Surely today was also an ordinary day, and it was an ordinary game, just like any other day.

No, he only thought so.

‘…What is it?’

At first, it was a game that wasn't special.

Lee Zixuan's Yasuo constantly pressured the opposing Sylas, and he easily took the mid-lane dominance.

And then he called the jungler and got a kill.

Although his allied top was ganked in the process, honestly speaking, Lee Zixuan thought the top lane wasn't very necessary in the game, so he didn't care.

The sense of incongruity was felt from the first dragon fight.

‘They are overtly inducing a fight.’

Do they really need to induce a fight on such a large scale when they can just eat the dragon?

Lee Zixuan was puzzled, but what that fact said was clear.

‘They must be confident of winning.’

He didn't know what they were trusting to be so confident, but if so, it would be enough to step back.

If he did that, the opponent's schemes would also scatter into the air.

[❕] [❕] [❕]

His allies also gathered some decent people, so they weren't reluctant to give up the first dragon.

-The enemy has slain the Ocean Dragon!

This was acceptable.

The problem was what happened after that.

-Allies have been slain!

Even though the enemy Eku was clearly near the bottom jungle, his allied Leone went in recklessly, and got cut off.

‘Stupid guy.’

Of course, the ADC had to suffer, and since the situation was already bad, even if the allied jungler went to support, it was just a waste of his movement.

And then the game was almost in the hands of the enemy.

The bottom tower shield was heavily scraped,

and soon the Herald was also taken.

Nevertheless, Lee Zixuan thought it was worth a try and opened the fight.

And… he was utterly defeated.

-The enemy is dominating the battlefield!

It's strange.

Something… is strange.

The more the game went on, the more Lee Zixuan fell into the illusion that a deep swamp was pulling him in.

This feeling, this sensation.

For some reason, it's so familiar.

As if he had experienced this feeling a long time ago.

‘He’s unbelievably good.’

Was there someone who made him think like this recently?

No, to be exact, there were definitely such people.

However, they were all established professionals, and they were not someone whose identity could not be known like the Outlaw in front of him.

‘Could it be…….’

And along with it, a thought that was all too obvious flashed through Lee Zixuan's mind.

It couldn't be.

There's no way.

It doesn't make sense.

Even as he thought so, Lee Zixuan's finger had already reached the chat window.
