[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 221

Who is the best jungler?

To that question, the majority of people would mention SY's Yun Gi-na, SCV's Vendetta, or GRS's Ma Bing, who is currently sweeping China, Europe's SU5's Lua, and RONO's Snoite, who originally belonged to LCKR but is now playing actively in North America.

However, Ryu Jin-hyuk was different.

Although he didn't show it on the outside, in the distant past, before Prisoner reached 2000 points, Rainbow always picked Prisoner as the best jungler.

Of course, from an objective standpoint, Prisoner before 2000 points was clearly a player with many weaknesses.

But even so, Ryu Jin-hyuk believed that Prisoner was the one who best followed the essence of the jungler position.

Above all, the form when Prisoner reached 2000 points later was… he, Ryu Jin-hyuk himself, and even though he duoed with Yun Gi, couldn't stop it.

In other words, Ryu Jin-hyuk considered both Prisoner before he disappeared and the past Prisoner to be the best.

And…….

For some reason, Outlaw, who is right in front of his eyes now, completely copied Prisoner's play.

Of course, to be precise, it's not strange to imitate the play of a player like Prisoner.

It's only a matter of when it's possible, but everyone was bound to admire the play of Prisoner, the first 2000-point jungler.

That's why,

There's no "just" in Outlaw's play, who resembles Prisoner.

In other words, if it's a team game, the team members also shouldn't play with the modifier "just."

‘It's clear. There's some kind of scheme.’

虛虛實實 (Heo Heo Sil Sil)?

Ryu Jin-hyuk has a lot of experience like this.

When the opponent looks weak, and you try to make a strong damage trade, but it turns out to be a trap.

Because of the accumulated recognition, the opposing mid laner often tries to solve the game from other aspects rather than the lane phase.

For example, ganking.

"Everyone, be careful. Something's up with the enemy mid."

It could also be a psychological warfare to fake the mid lane and target the other lane.

If it's Outlaw's team, they should be able to show that level of teamwork.

But…….

["Check the enemy jungler's position."]

["I don't know."]

Even though the entire team took a defensive stance due to Ryu Jin-hyuk's warning, Outlaw wasn't visible anywhere.

Even though he wasn't visible anywhere, it was as if the imaginary Outlaw's Lee Sin was already ganking all lanes.

["……This isn't good."]

TheOne said.

Ryu Jin-hyuk also agreed.

The game that he had expected to be easy started to go slightly wrong.

* * *

As the laning phase, which was unexpectedly uneventful, continued, I thought.

‘Hmm. I shouldn't go mid.’

If Rainbow had continued to apply strong pressure, I might have had to, but since the opponent was holding back first, I didn't need to do anything.

Above all…….

["Hey, see, I told you I could do it."]

Baek Seong-an’s smugness annoyed me a little.

Anyway, I don’t know why, but not only the mid lane, but the entire enemy lanes seemed to be holding back to some extent.

Contrary to the expectation that the early game would be difficult due to the difference in team size, it turned out that they were surprisingly going half and half.

"Yeon-woo, pressure them more."

["Yes."]

Since that was the situation, there was an opportunity for Jackson, who we could say we gave the pick to, to pressure the opponent.

Pressuring SY…… It was something that I couldn't even imagine originally, but this game itself was going that way.

‘The opponent is playing the game more cautiously than I thought.’

If this happens, ganking angles won't come up, but that doesn't mean we need to be frustrated.

There were countless roles that a jungler could play besides just ganking.

As Top Jackson gradually increased the pressure, I also naturally had an opportunity to enter the enemy's blue side jungle.

‘There's a Gromp.’

In this situation, the fact that the jungle monster had respawned was as good as a signal that Yun Gi was coming this way.

"Bottom, you can play more comfortably."

["Affirmative."]

["Yes."]

Of course, there was nothing wrong with going late game considering our bottom lane composition, but there was a difference between laning while being aware of the enemy jungler and not.

It was then.

["Ah."]

With a low sigh, Yun Gi's Jarvan IV appeared in the mid lane.

Baek Seong-an, who was already not in good condition, couldn't react to the gank, which even utilized Flash.

-First Blood!

-Allied has been slain!

The mid lane, which was already precarious, eventually collapsed.

[“…I’m sorry. I’ll try to focus more.”]

Whether he sobered up after dying once, Baek Seong-an's voice was more clear than before.

It seemed that the death that happened a while ago had become a shock therapy.

"It's okay."

["Ugh… I’ll teleport right away."]

"Yes. More than that, Yeon-woo."

["Yes."]

Even though no other words were exchanged, Seo Yeon-woo realized that this was a dive signal.

The law of the diagonal.

If you get hit, you pay them back.

There were various things to say, but what was certain was that the current enemy jungler had used his turn, and I still had my turn left.

"Let's go."

[⨷]

[OLZ Outlaw(Lee Sin) has targeted SY TheOne(Graves)]

Jackson from above, and Lee Sin from below, gradually began to pressure Graves, who was hugging the turret.

No matter how strong Graves is against AD champions, it's only relative.

["I'll go first."]

"Okay."

Seo Yeon-woo's Jackson started walking steadily and turning the staff, without using Q.

Graves tried to escape the stun range somehow, but Seo Yeon-woo calmly saved his Q skill and stuck to Graves after Graves’s survival skills were used.

Graves, who was caught in the stun, was no different from a sonic target.

After hitting Sonic Wave first, using E skill in order and mixing in basic attacks, Graves was instantly on the verge of death.

"Now, get out."

["Yes."]

As soon as Jackson retreated, I finished off Graves with a Q follow-up.

-You have slain an enemy!

If Graves was at full health, even with a perfect dive angle, it would have been a little difficult, but since Seo Yeon-woo had already traded some damage well, the dive was relatively easy.

["Nice."]

["NICE!"]

["Good, good."]

["Good."]

Even Kim Ji-hoon, who is usually quiet, chimed in, and this dive was very meaningful.

They had, at the very least, landed a blow on SY.

Considering what the team called SY meant in the current Legend of League scene, it couldn't be any more special.

Of course, that's that, and I didn't intend to stop here.

"Ji-hoon."

["Yes."]

Bottom lane recall timing.

Yoo Min, who hadn't even bought boots, started hurrying towards the top.

I ate the Krugs and Golems, on the way to greet Yoo Min, and headed straight back to the upper river, which is the Herald.

"I'll hit it right away."

Now that Yoo Min had joined, there was no need to hesitate.

And when the Herald's health was about 2/3.

["Raise is moving."]

"Affirmative."

Soon, the enemy mid and top started moving, realizing that Yoo Min wasn't returning to the bottom lane.

Even though it wasn't visible right now, it was certain that Jarvan was also coming this way.

["They're going up to the bottom."]

The enemy bottom lane also realized this fact, and Jin Leona, who had pushed the lane once, disappeared from the bottom vision.

It meant that they were moving to join the Herald fight.

Often, the first Herald fight is called the fight that determines the fate of the game.

This was because the outcome of the first Herald often determined the outcome of the game.

Of course, in the current four-Dragon meta, the value of the Dragon could not be said to be less, but in any case, the importance of the early Herald was that great.

Both team's top.

Both team's jungle.

And, even the mid.

Now, the Herald's health was less than 1/3.

Since the enemy bottom lane still had a considerable distance to join, the enemy also couldn't easily enter.

‘Even if Leona is, if you consider Jin's ultimate, there isn't much time.’

If Jin's ultimate is deployed, it's safe to say that the numbers are matched at 4:4.

If Leona joins while Jin is stalling, our advantage in numbers will be reversed at once.

["Bottom lane is getting the upper hand."]

Of course, as a result, our Ezreal was growing excessively well, so even if we lost the Herald, it wouldn't be too bad for us.

But why bother?

The moment the Herald's health dropped below 1,000.

Yun Gi's Jarvan IV started approaching slowly like a hyena eyeing a chance.

It was trying to fight for the Smite.

‘No way.’

I landed a Q on the Herald and then moved in front of Jarvan with a Ward Hop, kicked Jarvan away as is, and then, with a Q follow-up, ate the Herald.

-Allied has slain the Rift Herald!

["Nice!"]

["Wow, what was that just now?"]

["Lee Yu-jin, nice!"]

Amidst the cheers of the team members, I, having looked at the situation, said quietly.

"Now, let's get out."

The moment I, who had eaten the Herald's Eye, declared a retreat.

Jiiiiing─

Jin's ultimate was deployed.

What this meant was clear.

The enemy doesn't intend to let us go alive.
