[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 229

The current situation isn't bad.

Blitzcrank's grab missed, and the opponent also came in quite deep.

If the only one who came for the gank was Graves, the allied bottom lane would have suffered a great loss.

However, with my joining, the situation changed.

The allied bottom lane, which seemed to be in crisis, instead, finally brought the opponent who had been lurking until now out into the world.

‘4, 3…….’

I silently counted the numbers in my head.

It was because the cooldown of the e skill of the allied support, Xerath, was almost over.

‘Graves will make a blind spot where he can't dodge the skill.’

I deliberately used the w skill as if to tell him to dodge it, and as expected, MaBing's Graves used e and easily dodged it.

It would be even better if it hit, but it doesn't matter at all if it doesn't hit.

This was because the pre-transformation Kael's w skill was so slow that it was strange if it wasn't dodged.

‘Now.’

[OLZ Outlaw(Kael) has targeted MaBing777(Graves)]

The allied bottom lane combination was Xerath and Jhin.

A typical rear support and bombardment combination, and both champions possess CC skills.

As if proving that fact, as soon as the ping was marked, Xerath's e and Jhin's w linkage went in amazingly, tying up the feet of Graves, who was at the forefront.

I didn't miss the chance and boldly charged towards Graves.

Currently, Graves hadn't accumulated many e stacks, so I couldn't feel his unique toughness.

Graves, who thought he had caught the back of the allied bottom lane, instead, became isolated and resisted fiercely, but since Graves had already used his Flash during the previous blue side skirmish, there was no means of escape.

Soon, Graves' fate was also decided the moment Xerath's e hit, it was not an exaggeration to say.

- You have slain an enemy!

MaBing's Graves, who was rampaging like a cavalryman, fell.

No matter how confident he was, there was no match for a gangbang.

Before the full-fledged battle began, one person was cut off and started, and the opposing Ezreal and Blitzcrank also ran away with their tails between their legs rather than holding their ground.

1:0 exchange.

It was a perfect victory in the skirmish.

Even though one skirmish had ended, I wasn't satisfied.

‘Transformation gauge…….’

I couldn't use any other expression other than ambiguous.

It seemed I would have to go for another gank or something to transform.

‘If that's the case.’

I looked at the opposing bottom lane.

They were already under constant pressure, and they had to try to cooperate with the gank, so the current condition of the opposing bottom lane was not good in terms of both health and mana.

‘On the other hand, the allied bottom lane is quite healthy.’

From the beginning, there was no way the health management situation would be the same for those who were unilaterally attacking and those who were getting hit.

‘Shall we try it.’

Normally, I wouldn't have done such a reckless dive, fearing the teleport of the other lanes, but since the opponent's teleports had all been used up during the early upper body skirmish, there was nothing to worry about.

The only thing to care about was the opposing bottom lane.

[OLZ Outlaw(Kael) is on the way]

I pushed the lane with the bottom lane and then began to tighten the pressure on the opposing bottom lane bit by bit.

‘Let's go.’

Bottom lane dive after the skirmish.

Of course, it seemed that the opponent didn't intend to just allow this reckless dive, and they were about to respond strongly.

For a jungler, this dive was a gamble with a risk as great as the return.

Because, since I had already caught Graves, there was an opportunity to counter-jungle the enemy jungle for about one camp even if I didn't do this ambiguous dive.

‘I don't necessarily have to, but still, Yoon-gi did it.’

Since it was a game against Yoon-gi's shadow, sometimes this kind of brute force wasn't bad either.

[OLZ Outlaw(Kael) has targeted WonDeal_JangJuWonJang(Ezreal)]

‘Ezreal, no doubt.’

It wasn't just because of the shadow assassin transformation gauge.

Considering Blitzcrank's passive survival ability and the importance of the marksman and support, targeting the marksman was much more reasonable.

‘By the way, it's been a while.’

WonDeal_JangJuWonJang.

It was the ID of Juwon, the marksman of the team YSG, where I was a trainee for a while.

‘I wonder if he's doing well.’

Of course, those casual greetings wouldn't be late after the game was over.

Slowly, slowly.

We started to surround Ezreal without first drawing tower aggro.

[⨷]

[OLZ Outlaw(Kael) has targeted WonDeal_JangJuWonJang(Ezreal)]

‘Now.’

As the ping was marked and the signal was given, Xerath first used his w skill on Ezreal.

In that moment, the skills of Xerath and Jhin poured down on Ezreal's path.

- You have slain an enemy!

While that was happening, I checked Blitzcrank's mana situation.

‘If you back off clumsily, you'll get pulled in.’

That's why I tried to take away his mana by triggering Blitzcrank's passive, but unfortunately, it failed.

‘Damn.’

If I had triggered Blitzcrank's passive, he wouldn't have been able to use the grab due to lack of mana, but with a hair's breadth difference, the grab mana was exactly full.

Swish!

Blitzcrank's hand grabbed me, and the turret hit me.

- You were slain by an enemy!

High risk, high return.

I paid the price for it.

Dying once in exchange for accelerating the transformation timing.

Even if I did the calculations in my head, the result was so ambiguous that I couldn't judge whether it was a profit or a loss.

‘But, this is good enough.’

Usually, when judging whether Kael is doing well or not, the first metric used is how quickly he transformed.

Considering that, the current situation wasn't so bad for me.

Shadow Assassin Kael.

With this transformation as a starting point, the matchup between Kael and Graves will completely change.

From the matchup where Graves unilaterally beats Kael, to the opposite, Kael can kill Graves.

After resurrecting from the fountain and finishing the transformation, I immediately started running towards the top jungle.

I entered the enemy Raptors after skipping my own jungle, and soon I met Graves.

‘Hello?’

A surprise attack that caught the opponent off guard.

The unique mobility of a shadow assassin made this possible.

And this was also a forced move that both the past Yoon-gi and the current MaBing often used.

‘Before the opposing mid comes.’

Quickly and decisively.

For that, not a single skill shot can miss.

But there was no need to worry.

The atmosphere had already turned in my favor, and all I had to do was watch the opponent's escape skills get used.

‘Here.’

Graves did his best to move, but if he was careful, he couldn't miss.

As all of Kael's skills hit, Graves' health rapidly decreased.

The moment the opposing Aurelion Sol hastily joined, Kael's skills struck Graves' neck again.

- You have slain an enemy!

- You are on a killing spree!

China, Beijing, GRS practice room.

The atmosphere inside the GRS practice room was hotter than ever recently.

Winning the domestic league.

Winning the MSL.

In order to respond to the fans' expectations that were pouring in after that, the GRS players were practicing without a moment's rest.

Li Zixuan was the same.

‘Ugh.’

How much effort had he put in with the single-minded idea of finding a new jungler?

When he first saw MaBing, Li Zixuan thought he had finally found the jungler he had been looking for.

‘This feeling… it's certain.’

Li Zixuan was purely amazed by MaBing's skills.

Fierce momentum and skills that reminded him of Yoon-gi from a long time ago.

In fact, MaBing had sent Huang Haoran, who was the original jungler and one of the best junglers in China, to the bench with his skills and proudly took the starting position.

After that, there was nothing to hold him back.

Victory, victory, victory, championship.

Victory, victory, victory, championship.

GRS, which had recruited MaBing, had conquered not only the domestic league but also the international tournament, the MSL, which was also their long-cherished desire.

Thanks to that, the name of GRS was higher than ever in China.

Now, only one thing remained for Li Zixuan.

League of Legends World Championship.

The so-called Red Cup.

Now, if they won only in the Red Cup, they could not only achieve the Grand Slam that everyone dreams of, but also finally bring the championship trophy to China.

It was supposed to be like that, but…….

‘……What?’

A solo queue duo on the Korean server to casually practice.

But there, MaBing, who had conquered the world, was being helplessly defeated.

Li Zixuan was also well aware of the opponent.

‘……Outlaw!’

A player who, for some reason, made Li Zixuan think of Prisoner.

- An ally has been slain!

- The enemy is on a killing spree!

The specter of that Prisoner was devouring MaBing, who he had believed to be the best, with greed.
