[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 178

As soon as the opponent was finished, Seo Yeon-woo and Baek Seong-an, who usually spoke softly, shouted almost simultaneously.

["Nice!"]

Strictly speaking, the situation a little earlier was no different from a meal already prepared.

The opponent had already used up a lot of their resource values to catch our allies, and they used the last remaining resource value to catch me.

‘They had to pour everything into me.’

If the well-grown Jarvan had spun around with a bloodbath just one more time and held on, the structure would have been even more ruined, so it was inevitable for the opponent as well.

Therefore,

In that situation, what Lucian had to do was to take out opponents who could deal a fatal blow to him in the predetermined order.

A situation where the answer was already decided.

However, if everyone could do it just because it was possible, the profession of a pro gamer would not have existed in the first place.

"Good job."

Calculating the cooldown of the opponent's threatening CC and anticipating it.

Also, removing threatening opponents who could harm you.

Avoiding the opponent's skills while boldly creating angles for dealing damage.

Those were the judgments and physical skills required in the previous situation.

Of course, Kim Jae-min probably didn't do all that calculating in his head.

However, it was right to assume that he did it instinctively, as other talented players do.

There are countless theories in the League of Legends, but in fact, even pro gamers don't know all of those theories.

They just embody it and are already using it instinctively.

["...Th-thank you."]

Kim Jae-min's voice was trembling, as if the heat of the team fight that had taken place a moment ago was still there.

And…….

After a great victory in the second herald fight, a huge gap, in the truest sense of the word, opened up between the two teams.

After that, the standard operation went on.

We, who already had the initiative, did not lose it and gnawed away at the opponent's jungle vision, and with that, the opponent's jungle, which had its jungle vision taken over, began to wither away.

The opponent also readily gave up on the next battleground, which could be considered the dragon fight.

-Our team has slain the Earth Dragon!

Nevertheless, the opponent persistently attempted to side-split with a team such as Camile, Lucian, or Camille Xin Zhao, but each time, retribution was inflicted on the opponent's bottom duo in the mid lane.

[⨷]

[OLZ Outlaw(Jarvan IV) has targeted BLH Shotgun(Aphelios)]

"They're going for a side push. Watch mid."

["Affirmative."]

Aphelios and Lulu are both walkies.

In a situation where there is already a gap between each other, both of them were nothing more than Jarvan's food.

-An enemy has been slain!

-Rampage!

Now, it could be said that the opponent had almost no cards left to play.

The head-on team fight had already gone down the drain due to the difference in power, and if they tried to side-split, a gap in the number of personnel would cause the main force to be penetrated.

Furthermore, Lucian Nami, who is well-grown, already exists in our team.

Even if things went wrong, in such an advantageous situation, Twisted Fate only had to hold a gold card and fight a distance battle with the opponent.

If they did that, Lucian would take out one person at a time whenever the gold card hit the opponent.

-Ting!

-An enemy has been slain!

The snowballing that wouldn't stop rolling was destined for the Baron.

When we openly hit Baron first and lured the opponent, the opponent also went for the final team fight.

Of course, the result was predetermined.

-An enemy has been slain!

Every time GetBack's gold card flew in, an opponent champion disappeared one by one.

-Double Kill!

-Godlike!

-Victory!

After a great team fight victory, our team advanced straight into the mid lane and pushed the opponent's nexus.

[Victory]

At the end of the game, Lucian's score was 9/0/3.

Damage dealt was overwhelmingly first overall.

There were ups and downs, but from a result perspective, it was a typical AD carry game.

["You've all worked hard."]

["Everyone did a good job. You all did really well."]

"Everyone worked hard."

As soon as the game ended, Baek Seong-an, who took off his headset first, shouted.

"Alright, everyone, gather around!"

Even though the team members were gathering one by one on the sofa in front of the monitor, Kim Jae-min was still sitting in his seat, panting.

"Hoo……."

Even though the temperature inside the dorm was always kept optimal, Kim Jae-min's bangs, with his headset off, were soaked with sweat.

That meant he had been concentrating on the game that much.

"You did a good job."

"Yes? Ah… yes."

Kim Jae-min's expression looked brighter than ever.

Well, it was only recently that he was treated like a spoon in the team.

Although it was a game where they had planned and poured resources from the ban-pick, the fact that he proved himself when the opportunity came was purely Kim Jae-min's ability.

"Alright, we'll talk later, but first, everyone, gather around."

"Yes, yes."

At Baek Seong-an's call, I and Kim Jae-min gathered on the sofa.

"First of all, I didn't do well in this game. ...I'm sorry, everyone."

Before the feedback began, Baek Seong-an admitted his mistakes.

In fact, this game was almost tough due to mistakes in the early mid lane and the snowballing that followed.

Fortunately, the bottom lane, especially the growth of the AD carry, was well-executed, so we won more easily than expected, but if it had gone wrong there, it would have been a very difficult game.

"No. It could happen."

"That's right."

Seo Yeon-woo, and even Kim Ji-hoon, who was out of place, stepped forward to comfort Baek Seong-an.

"No. Even though I knew the opponent was a strong mid lane team, I was arrogant from the ban-pick. I learned it for sure this time, so I won't do it this way next time."

This scrim match had a lot of implications for us.

The first is Kim Jae-min's potential.

Although they scraped and poured resources from any resources available, Kim Jae-min proved himself in that situation.

Of course, in order to have a proper proof, we need to continue another cross-validation through scrims, but for now, it can be considered that he succeeded in proving himself to some extent.

The second is Baek Seong-an's limits.

GetBack is not a carry-type mid laner.

To be precise, he might have been before, but now he can't be.

Therefore, until now, because he hadn't met opponents who were so strong individually, he could have held on just by holding a shield.

The same was true for BOQ, even though BOQ was the 3rd place team in the first league, because the team style itself wasn't a team that suppressed with individual skills, it was possible for GetBack to hold on.

But we saw Baek Seong-an's shield breaking with the first scrim against BLH.

When he meets an opponent with really strong force, it eventually breaks.

Baek Seong-an's weakness was revealed.

"……I'll be more careful about the mistakes that came out here."

Baek Seong-an nodded his head.

Since it was a problem purely caused by a lack of strength, there wasn't much feedback to be given in the mid lane.

"The bottom lane did a great job."

The feedback went on quickly.

Discussions were held about a few minor mistakes and judgments.

"...Okay. Then let's do well in the next game too."

Baek Seong-an's face looked somewhat dark.

*

The second scrim had a ban-pick that gave power to the top jungle, just like we had done before.

Perhaps because he was given Jhin, the AD carry champion, or perhaps he had given up on the team ban-pick, Kim Jae-min didn't express any particular complaints about the ban-pick.

And the second game began.

-Welcome to Summoner's Rift!

.

.

.

-The enemy has agreed to surrender with 5 votes in favor and 0 votes against.

[All][BLH Proof(Yune) : GG]

17 minutes and 41 seconds.

The kill score was 9:1.

That was the result of the second game.

["Wow……."]

Should we say it was as expected?

Unlike the previous game, as we played the game with the top and jungle as the main focus, BLH, the opponent, didn't last long and collapsed.

Putting a composition that supports the bottom lane and playing around the top side.

It was a confirmation that this is the most powerful and basic tactic in our team at the moment.

"Let's do it this way this time."

"...Are you sure?"

"Yes. Try it once."

The last game gave picks that supported the other lanes, and instead brought a ban-pick that put power in the mid and jungle.

-Welcome to Summoner's Rift!

Should we say it was as expected?

-Our team has been hit!

Unlike the previous second game, the third game was difficult from the start.

The words "mid-centered composition" meant that we had to give a strong champion to the mid lane, and it also meant that GetBack had to face Proof head-on.

["Ah… sorry, I made a mistake."]

If mistakes are repeated, it's a skill.

Baek Seong-an must have known that fact well, but he couldn't help but utter the words "mistake."

In the end, we won the third game as well, but it was by no means an easy game.

Because we had suffered so much damage in the early game, we had to huddle as much as possible and drag the game into a super long game that lasted over 50 minutes, and we finally clinched victory.

[Victory]

"Hoo……."

"Everyone worked hard."

"You've all worked hard."

Uhm…….

We won, but it's not satisfying.

I knew the reason.

‘I knew it, but…….’

The ban-pick that can maximize our team's current strength is to make a ban-pick that gives power to the top and jungle.

Especially, the jungle side.

Even if I don't say it myself, our team's core is, no matter what anyone says, the jungler.

And the next best option is a top-centered ban-pick, which can be considered to have outstanding carrying power next to the jungle.

And the next-next-best option is the bottom lane composition we had a moment ago.

In that sense, the weakest form in our team at the moment was the mid-centered composition.

That point was clearly revealed in the scrim with BLH this time.

‘It's not a problem that can be overcome in a short period of time.’

Of course, the biggest problem in our team is still the bottom lane with Kim Jae-min.

But Kim Jae-min proved his growth potential today, and above all, Kim Ji-hoon was with him in the bottom lane.

Therefore, when we meet a team like BLH, which has a strong mid lane, a problem that our team cannot avoid is revealed.

‘OLZ's weakness.’

That was revealed.
