[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 181

Little by little, time passes.

Having regained some confidence through exercise, Baek Seong-an began to perform not only in in-game aspects but also in areas where he originally excelled.

"Practice schedule is set."

"With whom?"

"SCV."

"......Pardon?"

A minor team that hasn't even been promoted to the second league began to scrim with first-tier teams.

The scrim with BOQ before was a stroke of luck as BOQ happened to have an open schedule, but now they have a proper schedule set up.

Despite this being unusual by common sense, Baek Seong-an simply said about it.

"It's us."

It was as if the root of his overconfidence came from his muscles.

'Hmm... Even so, it's strange.'

Baek Seong-an said it proudly, but no matter how I think about it, it wasn't a normal occurrence.

Because now that the regular season is over, the only teams in the first league that need scrims are, of course, those that have advanced to the playoffs.

Not just any teams, but top-tier teams.

Those teams are willing to scrim with us, who are nothing more than a motley crew.

The teams that have advanced to the first league playoffs are as follows:

1st place, SY.

2nd place, SCV.

3rd place, BOQ.

4th place, MAX.

5th place, GTD.

We already scrimmed with BOQ once, and we also have scrim schedules with MAX and GTD, and even SCV, the 2nd place team in the regular season.

Even though it's only once each, we've practically scheduled scrims with all the playoff teams except for SY.

"...What kind of magic did you use?"

"Some teams requested it first. It seems like our reputation has spread a bit."

"Pardon?"

No matter how much our reputation has spread, the first-tier teams aren't some neighborhood PC room gathering, so why would they scrim with us?

"I told you, we're good. And in many ways, our team is quite famous. Especially because of you."

Baek Seong-an's words were true.

Soon after, scrims were scheduled not only with first-tier teams but also with teams in the second league, which is the stage we're aiming for.

BLH.

FFF.

BG.

POP.

The top two teams in the second league who are about to compete in the first league promotion, and the bottom two teams who we might meet in the second league promotion soon.

They were just the right opponents to prove ourselves right now, and considering the upcoming promotion.

"It's a good opportunity."

With a fully packed schedule, intense days followed.

[Victory]

"Nice!"

"We won this."

.

.

.

[Victory]

"Wow... they're really good."

"Real."

.

.

.

[Defeat]

"Uh......"

"Sorry. I didn't play well."

We won most of the scrims, but we also lost occasionally.

The opponents were top-tier teams in the first league.

It's been a long time since I accepted the fact that we can't always win.

'...My body wasn't in good condition that day.'

Of course, condition management is also a skill for a professional, so I have no intention of making excuses.

However, I need to find a suitable method for real matches, not just scrims.

'I heard you can control your period with birth control pills... but doing that during the regular season is likely to be a short-sighted solution.'

During the regular season, there are an average of two matches a week.

No matter how well I pick the dates to adjust my period, it will be difficult to completely avoid the matches.

'Well... I'll have to do it if necessary, though.'

I'll have to seriously consider that when the time comes.

Meanwhile, while we were busy, the playoffs were heading towards the final stretch.

MAX vs GTD

2:1 MAX wins and advances to the playoffs Round 1.

BOQ vs MAX

2:3 MAX wins and advances to the playoffs Round 2.

[Playoffs Round 2]

SCV vs MAX

3:1 SCV wins and advances to the finals.

Overall, the playoffs felt like they went as expected.

BOQ came out strong as the 3rd seed in the regular season and showed some new possibilities, but in the end, they lost a close match against MAX, a traditional powerhouse, and finished their season.

MAX's advance, starting from the wild card match, had to stop against SCV.

Because MAX had already shown too many of their picks in the process of coming up, and they lost too easily to SCV, who had enough preparation time.

Now, only the finals remain.

SCV challenging,

SY defending the throne.

Regardless of who wins, the process was sure to attract everyone's attention.

And…….

Finally, the finals arrived.

*

SY vs SCV Finals.

The big event that anyone interested in Legend of League had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Since I was going to watch this major tournament anyway, I turned on the broadcast for the first time in a while.

"Ah, mic test."

Is this right?

It feels like it's been so long since I turned on a broadcast that I'm not sure.

-?

-Huh

-Is that really Outlaw?

-She really came

-Why are you so late, noona? Did you want to see me go crazy? Why are you so late, noona? Did you want to see me go crazy? Why are you so late, noona? Did you want to see me go crazy?

The chat window that started to go up proved that the broadcast was turned on properly.

"Ahahaha, I'm sorry. I guess it turned out like this because I've been busy."

Even though it was a sudden broadcast without any notice, viewers somehow knew and started to gather on the broadcast one by one.

-Are you watching the finals today?

-Let's broadcast it

-Broadcast ㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱ

"Yes, yes, I came to broadcast it. I have to watch the finals."

-Oh

-Good

SY vs SCV.

It's the finals match that everyone expected, but it wouldn't be fair to say that the process of getting here was easy for either team.

SY and SCV both showed decent performances in the regular season, but they were sometimes hit by BOQ and other teams.

Nevertheless, SY and SCV were the ones who survived until the end.

Now, it will soon be determined which of these two teams is the true king of this season.

Furthermore, the winning team of this season is also linked to the qualification for the upcoming international tournament, so pro gamers who are greedy for their careers can't miss it.

'Rainbow must be thinking the same way.'

Rainbow has a career of winning the Red Cup twice, but unfortunately, Rainbow has never achieved a Grand Slam, which is winning all the tournaments in that year.

In other words, even if the Spring Season is relatively less important than the Summer Season connected to the Red Cup, it's still important nonetheless.

'Let's see......'

I glanced at the broadcast situation.

[ON AIR] [Outlaw111]

-SY vs SCV Finals Broadcast

[Current Viewers: 14,154]

+

In just a few minutes after turning on the broadcast, more than 10,000 viewers gathered.

Moreover, since there was still about an hour left before the full-fledged finals started, I couldn't even imagine how many viewers would gather when the match started in earnest.

『'Horororolrollol' has gifted '10' moon balloons.』

『"Who do you think will win?"』

"Um......"

Objectively, it's right to see this finals as slightly favoring SY.

In fact, SY lost to SCV in the first round of the regular season, but they paid them back in the second round.

Of course, that's that, and I didn't want to say anything that would cause unnecessary strife, so I held back.

"No comment."

-No fun

-NF

-No

-Dise

-Get rid of the no-fun guy

-Get rid of the get-rid-of-guy

-Get rid of the attention seeker

-Get rid of everything

As expected, the atmosphere in the chat window was unusual from the start because it was a broadcast after a long time.

"Okay, managers, please do some work for the first time in a while."

-OK

-Roger that

-Get rid of everything

Only after the large-scale purge was carried out did the chat window become a little cleaner.

『'Jungleisimportant' has gifted '10' moon balloons.』

『"Which lane do you think will be important?"』

Um, I can tell you this much.

"Um, it's the mid and bot lanes. Of course, the other lanes are also important, but SY and SCV are teams that are particularly strong in the mid and bot lanes respectively......"

SY's Rainbow.

SCV's Beast Duo.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that today's finals depend on who carries better among them.

Of course, it's true that it's difficult for the ADC to carry in the current meta structure, so it was common to predict SY's victory, but still.

-Agreed totally agreed

-That's the standard

-I had the same thought as Outlaw just now, can I become a Challenger too?

-You can become a Silver

While I was watching the never-ending ads and communicating with the viewers,

"Noona, you said you'd watch the finals with me......"

I don't know when he came, but Kim Jae-min approached me with staggering steps.

Come to think of it... I made that promise. I had forgotten all about it because I was so busy.

-?

-Who is that?

-Boyfriend?

-Really?

-No way, no boyfriend would come out like that so openly

-LOL really

-Come to think of it, this is the dorm

-Is he a teammate?

-Ah, I guess he's a teammate

It seemed like it would be troublesome if I introduced him properly now.

"Um... today's guest, OLZ's proud ADC, Jaemin Kim. Everyone, please welcome him."

I introduced him roughly because I was lazy, and Kim Jae-min received it as if he had been waiting for it.

"Hello! I'm Jaemin Kim!"

-?

-????

-?

-???

-?????

Countless question marks welcomed Kim Jae-min.
