[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 183
SY vs SCV"Ah, I'll turn off the voice lady."
I almost did the commentary with it on.
-Yeah yeah
-Turn it off quickly
-Agree agree
-You're a pro streamer now ㅋㅋ
In terms of sides, SY is blue, SCV is red.
[Aphelios]
SY's first ban is Aphelios.
Especially against SCV, whose bot lane is strong, this could be seen as a smooth start.
[Syndra]
Immediately after, SCV banned Syndra.
Syndra is one of the picks that can "break through," so to speak, with her superior range and powerful damage. For SCV, whose mid lane is relatively weaker, she was one of the picks they absolutely had to cut.
『"That seems like a good choice. More than anything, AllDay hasn't shown us how well he can utilize Syndra."』
『"That's right. So now what's left is how SY and SCV will use their remaining ban cards... Will they continue to use them on ADC and Mid respectively?"』
No sooner had Madman finished speaking than SY and SCV continued their bans.
[Lucian]
[LeBlanc]
『"This... they're being blatant with each other."』
『"Did they respect each other? You could look at it that way."』
『"That's right. Rainbow's Syndra and LeBlanc, and Blackdog's Aphelios and Lucian, are all picks they don't want to give to the opponent."』
[Miss Fortune]
『"They even cut Miss Fortune. With this, usable picks in the bot lane... Perhaps Draven will come out? Blackdog's Draven is no joke."』
『"More than that... Yuumi and Lee Sin are both alive. Normally, you'd have to cut Yuumi... But still, from SCV's perspective, shouldn't they at least cut Lee Sin? Isn't giving Lee Sin to Yoon-ki too uncomfortable?"』
Yoon-ki's Lee Sin...
Even I remember suffering severely from it in the past; Yoon-ki's Lee Sin is fierce.
Considering Lee Sin's current tier, no matter how broken Yuumi is, giving her away so easily would be a burden.
'In this situation, it would be better to release both and take one of them.'
Normally, based on tournament standards, Yuumi is a mandatory ban card for the red side.
However, right now releasing Yuumi means Yoon-ki's Lee Sin would also be released, so it seemed better to release both and take one of them.
[Lee Sin]
Hmm.
Is this right?
『"Ah, as expected, he was cut."』
『"Even so, giving Lee Sin to Yoon-ki is... a bit scary."』
『"Anyway, perhaps thanks to that, Yuumi has been released. Is there something prepared? Did they deliberately release her?"』
『"I see. Does SCV have something prepared?!"』
From SY's perspective, there was no reason not to take the released Yuumi, so they proceeded with the pick without hesitation.
[Yuumi]
『"First, they took Yuumi. Now we need to watch SCV's choices."』
-They released Yuumi ㅋㅋ
-SY win
-LOL yeah
-SCV is doing that stuff again ㅋㅋ
-Gotta change the coaching staff LOL
Could they really have messed up?
SCV's pick/ban phase is already notorious for being terrible.
Of course, pick/ban isn't solely the fault of the coaching staff, but it was an odd choice.
"Why? What's wrong?"
Regardless, Kim Jae-min's eyes sparkled as if he really didn't know what the problem was.
"What's wrong with that? Isn't Yuumi trash? I like other things better."
"......"
No, this isn't your solo queue.
-?
-???
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-?
-Concept is top-notch
-??????? ㅋㅋ
-Is this... a pro aspirant?
-OLZ annihilation ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Team owner is weeping ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
"...I'm not weeping. Thank you for your concern."
-Of course, of course
-Okay
-You're right
-Don't cry, Noona ㅜㅜ
-If you're gonna cry, turn on the full cam and cry
-LOL yeah
-Hey hey, stop beating her, she'll die at this rate
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Hilarious
While Kim Jae-min momentarily drew attention, SCV had already completed their 1st and 2nd picks.
[Twisted Fate]
[Graves]
『"Ah... they're going with this. In this case, it's not too bad for SCV either, right?"』
『"Yes, they released Yuumi, but it's not necessarily the case that releasing Yuumi means they'll definitely lose. It's just... a little tricky."』
『"And AllDay hasn't usually utilized Twisted Fate that often when facing players with what you might call 'higher stats,' has he? We'll have to watch and see."』
『"He said we need to watch more closely, and so we will! Let's keep watching!"』
[Selecting champion]
[Next turn's selection]
『"The first things that come to mind are Ryze or Silas... Does Rainbow have any other picks prepared?"』
[Ryze]
『"Ah, as expected, they're going with this."』
『"We could say it's a quite standard choice, couldn't we?"』
『"That's right. It's a pattern SY has shown frequently in the past, intentionally giving away TF and following the tempo with Ryze or Silas."』
[Kennen]
『"They even took Kennen."』
And then...
Soon, the pick/ban phase was complete.
+
[SY / SCV]
Top : Kennen / Graves
Jungle : Jarvan IV / Xin Zhao
Mid : Ryze / Twisted Fate
ADC : Ezreal / Jhin
Support : Yuumi / Rakan
+
『"Overall, we could say they did their best within the picks available to each other, right?"』
『"Yes. The focus will likely be the Mid and Bot lane matchups, wouldn't you say? Longbow's Ezreal is also famous for being a masterpiece."』
『"That's right. And I secretly wondered if Blackdog wouldn't play a champion like Draven against Yuumi, but it's also interesting that he chose Jhin instead."』
『"Doesn't that mean they prepared for today? For now, we'll have to watch and see."』
『"Haha! That's right. For now, we have to watch, that's right. Alright, the game is starting!"』
The game officially began, and the cheers of each team's fans echoed.
-One, two, three, SY fighting!!!!
-SCV fighting!!!!
『"The fans' cheers are resounding, aren't they?"』
『"Powered by the fans' support, we hope the players show us a good game. Ah, it has started!"』
-Welcome to Summoner's Rift!
Once again, the fans' cheers echoed, and the game officially began.
The initial invade situation was typical.
SY players invaded the top side to secure vision, while SCV players invaded the bot side.
The initial invade time passed with vision split between the two sides.
-Minions have spawned!
The actual lane phase began.
Of course, it wasn't an entirely uneventful start.
『"Oh, Graves and Xin Zhao are entering the blue side right now?"』
SCV, with the Graves and Xin Zhao combination, pushed into SY's blue side.
SY noticed this fact, but as Kennen alone couldn't stop it, they reluctantly gave it up.
『"Location confirmed; in this case, the jungle paths will be split half and half, right?"』
『"It seems likely... but then again, Yoon-ki often uses such unconventional paths, doesn't he? We'll have to watch and see."』
In the meantime, there was a brief trade of damage in the mid lane.
AllDay, who normally would be playing defensively from the start, unusually stepped forward.
However, the price was steep.
『"Oh? Jarvan is pretending to go into the enemy blue and then turning sideways. In this case—"』
Yoon-ki naturally feigned heading towards the enemy blue, then suddenly turned and attempted a mid gank.
It was a situation where his jungle could fall significantly behind if it failed, but Yoon-ki even used Flash and succeeded in taking down AllDay's TF.
-First Blood!
『"Ah... AllDay was too aggressive, wasn't he?"』
『"You could say he was too careless when his allied jungler was in the top side."』
『"You could also say Yoon-ki exploited the weakness well? He read the opponent's mind? You could look at it that way."』
AllDay's counterattack.
However, Rainbow even mocked that by calling in the jungler and taking down AllDay in an instant.
And then...
As if the death in mid lane was just the beginning, Ryze suddenly used Teleport.
The destination was top lane.
『"Uh, uh oh?"』
Perhaps he was too relaxed because his allied jungler's location was close?
King's Graves, who had been strongly pressuring Kennen from the start, was caught from behind by the suddenly appearing Ryze.
Xin Zhao was rushing in for support, but Graves had already been surrounded for a long time.
-An enemy has been slain!
『"Ah... This isn't good. Honestly, SCV's composition has quite ambiguous damage dealers. So, the growth of Graves, who can be seen as a core damage dealer, was most important, but that plan is being disrupted!"』
『"That's right! Twisted Fate, Jhin, they are all champions specialized in backline support, not champions who can directly deliver damage head-on. So right now, SCV is in an emergency. Emergency!"』
『"SCV is in an emergency! Still, they have to try their best. SCV isn't just any ordinary team, are they?"』
『"That's right. They didn't get to the finals easily. SCV needs to show their potential!"』
Despite the commentators' not-quite-comforting words, one fact was clear.
The game was over in an instant.
This happened less than 5 minutes after the game started.
-GG
-lol ㅋㅋ
-GG
-15 min surrender go go
-Wow, SY really is different
Should we say it was as everyone expected?
SCV also fought hard and tried to stop SY's advance, but they couldn't stop the snowballing that began with the initial 2 kills.
『"No matter how I think about it, that mid kill early on was too big..."』
『"It seems AllDay wanted to show something today... but it's a shame."』
Dragon, Herald, Dragon, Herald, Baron.
SY, having ravenously consumed all of these, continued their advance without stopping.
『"The Nexus is, destroyed!"』
『"GG!"』
『"GG!"』
Ultimately, the game ended before 25 minutes were up.
Usually, in big stages like the finals, the first game is often a fierce battle as both sides have their peak focus, but SY was so overwhelming that they even broke that norm.
-Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow!
-3:0 angle ㅋㅋ
-It's a three-zero sweep
-Boring
-Wow, the difference is really big
-Mid diff mid diff yeah yeah yeah
-No, but SCV shouldn't have lost like this, AllDay was too much early on LOL
-Agree
Perhaps Kim Jae-min was also impressed by the overwhelming game, as he just stood there with his mouth open stupidly before finally speaking.
"Wow... Noona, is SCV that team? The team we played against. They beat that team so easily..."
"Shh."
-?
-Huh
-??
-ㄷㄷ
-????
-Yes?
-LOL?
Ah... this kiddo.
-Explain
-Explain
-Explain
"...I'll tell you later."
While glaring at Kim Jae-min with resentful eyes, the pick/ban phase for set 2 had already begun.
『"SCV, they can't continue like this. They have to change something."』
『"That's right. It seems SCV tried to put power into the mid lane in Set 1, but they thought wrongly. It might hurt the players' pride a little, but they shouldn't face Rainbow head-on."』
『"Of course! Who is Rainbow? If you can't face them head-on, you have to hit them from the side, and hit them from behind too!"』
Just as the commentators said, SCV's pick/ban pattern changed slightly.
As the pick/ban progressed one by one, a peculiar champion popped out from the SCV side.
[Malzahar]
"...Uh?"
Why is that?
「"I'll try to hold on."」
In AllDay's appearance now,
I saw Getback's appearance overlapping.
