[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 249

Although it wasn't as if there weren't any moments worthy of being called a crisis, the results were the same as our usual scrims.

FFF even tried some methods they hadn't attempted during scrims, trying to make their moves work, but it didn't work on us.

That was because there was that much of a difference between the two teams in the first place.

-Waaaaah!!!

-OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ!

As I left the booth, cheers erupted from the stands, as if we had won the finals.

"Wow..."

I hadn't been able to see properly before because I was flustered, but now, whether I've gotten a little used to it or not, the fan's banners and the smartphone's electronic display apps came into view one after another.

[OLZ Fighting!]

[Milky-White Outlaw]

[I love you, Noona]

"..."

I couldn't bring myself to look at the content properly because it was embarrassing.

"Let's go, we have to greet them."

"Ah, yes, yes."

When I got up at Baek Seong-an's call, Baek Seong-an looked at the stands once and said,

"...It went well."

"Right, we won."

"No, not that."

"Yes?"

Baek Seong-an was smiling to himself, as if he was so happy about something. It was a somewhat sinister smile.

"No, let's go."

"...Yes, well."

The team members stood in a line and greeted the stands.

-Waaaaah!!!!

-Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!

"They're calling for Noona?"

I couldn't even retort at Kim Jae-min's words, who looked like he was enjoying himself to death, and just bowed my head.

"...Thank you."

At the same time, the cheers grew even louder, as if they had been waiting.

-Kyaaaak!!

-Over here! Look over here!

-Outlaw! Outlaw!

"..."

My face is burning up.

I had to adapt to it if I was to live as a professional, but it seemed that I still lacked the training to endure these cheers.

Then, a staff member gestured towards me.

"Outlaw player! Over here!"

"Yes?"

"Interview!"

POG, which meant that I was the MVP of both the first and second games today.

I had expected it after seeing the game, but... I didn't expect them to give it all to me again like this.

"...Ah, yes!"

In the first league, LCKR, interviews are conducted at the analysis desk, which is a separate corner, but in the second league, CKR, the players move to the commentators' seats to conduct the interview.

Naturally, my embarrassment could only be doubled.

"Hello, Outlaw player!"

"Ah, yes... Hello."

"I feel like I see you quite often like this. You received POG for both the first and second games today. How do you feel?"

"I... I think it's good."

"Ahahaha! You still seem quite awkward. Then, moving on to the next question, about the pick you showed today..."

The interview proceeded.

They were mostly standard content that had been covered until now, but there were also some that weren't.

"Oh, and I think we should ask this question as many fans are interested in this... Is that okay?"

It was somehow weird that he was asking for my opinion again, but I had no right to refuse in this situation.

"Ah, yes, yes."

"Today, Jammin Kim Jammin... no, Kim Jae-min, there was a scene in the bottom lane in the first set where he calmly caught Fiora in a 2:1 situation. Do you remember?"

"Ah, yes, yes. I remember."

"At that time, Jammin's cheers became a hot topic. What exactly was the situation?"

"Well... I know the situation, but if you say cheers..."

No way.

It wouldn't be.

...Right?

"It's a bit difficult for me to say that line myself... Anyway, the scene of him cheering so loudly was captured on the screen. It's also a hot topic among the fans. What exactly was said at that time?"

The commentator's face, enjoying himself to death.

There was no way I wouldn't realize the commentator's intention after seeing that face.

"Ah..."

And Kim Jae-min's fervent shout replayed in my head.

-["You son of a bitch! No way! Cut the bugs! Cut! Cut! Cut!"]

...This bastard.

"Outlaw player?"

"...Ah, yes!"

"If it's difficult for you to explain, you don't have to say anything."

"...No. It's okay."

On this day, I had to apologize more than all the apologies I had made throughout my life as the team owner.

Kim Jae-min, you're dead today.

* * *

The recent hot topic pattern in the community was simple.

On days when there were no OLZ games, the main topic was about Outlaw.

Conversely, on days when there were OLZ games, the main topic was about the OLZ games.

Since today was the day of the OLZ game, there was, of course, no end to the talk about OLZ.

-Edited) Bug Cut Guy's Mad Movie Today.GIF

-OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!OLZ!

-Information) The bug-cut guy, a top-ranked master, has a current tier of Challenger 854 points for the opponent's marksman.

And, the center of attention in today's OLZ game was the marksman, Jammin Kim Jae-min.

Until now, there had been many stories about how the mid and marksman characters, excluding top, jungle, and support, were not very ordinary.

That was because the visual impact of OLZ's top, jungle, and support was so great.

However, in contrast, Jammin, the marksman, drew attention for reasons completely opposite to them.

There are two main types of popular players in the League of Legends pro scene.

Players proven by their performance, and

Players proven by their character.

Jammin Kim Jae-min was, of course, the latter.

Of course, that doesn't mean Jammin wasn't good at the game, but because Jammin's place was still in the second league, he couldn't be considered the former.

-R Lmao ㅋㅋㅋ It's a real background character

-Well, isn't Getback pretty good? Suddenly became a supporting player ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You can't help it if you're on that team

-That's right

The heat of the community didn't seem to cool down today either.

* * *

After returning to the dorm, I delivered one order to Kim Ji-hoon.

"Our marksman's physical skills seem to have dropped a lot. But marksmen are all about physical skills, right? You take care of him."

"Understood."

Of course, I don't know if the physical skills mentioned in League of Legends are those physical skills, but it probably wouldn't be completely unrelated.

Whatever it was, the reaction speed of pressing the mouse could be considered within the scope of physical activity.

"...No, Noona! I'm sorry. I can't walk up if I go down today!"

"Then crawl up."

"Uaaaaaah!"

Kim Ji-hoon disappeared over the elevator, proving how easy it was to forcibly kidnap one person.

"..."

Baek Seong-an, looking at the sight, had a pale face as if some terrible memory came to mind.

'By the way, is it finally tomorrow?'

A large-scale patch.

League of Legends is one of the games with frequent patches.

It was the secret to League of Legends maintaining its popularity around the world for a long time.

Not being afraid of change,

Not hesitating to challenge.

Especially in the nature of the AOS genre game itself, if the patch is even slightly delayed, the meta will become fixed, and there is a high possibility that the so-called 'standard combination' will appear.

The game stagnates and rots.

If that happens, the vitality of the game, which is already drying up, will die, and the gap between new users and basic users will widen further, leading to a decrease in the inflow of new users.

Of course, even now, there was a considerable level of entry barrier because of how old the game League of Legends is, but whether or not there is a patch was a world of difference.

Especially in the case of this patch, there were more than just a few things changing, so there was a high possibility that not only the basic champion tier but also the meta itself would change.

It was a real cataclysm.

'I should be grateful that it's in a form that maintains the existing framework.'

Until now, League of Legends has also had several patches that destroyed even the existing framework.

The jungle could be seen as being at the center of it.

I couldn't help but be half expecting and half worried, but fortunately, this large-scale patch was a major patch and, at the same time, added new content within the existing framework.

I'll have to see, but it meant that it wouldn't be more difficult to adapt to than other patches.

'Umm.'

There are times like these.

When the patch versions between the live server and the tournament server are significantly different.

In this case, it's common to focus on scrims and postpone the live server.

But in this case, since the patch version will change from the second round during the season, it was a foolish choice to completely ignore the live server.

'I have to adapt in advance, even if it's a little bit.'

The most important things to look at are the champions that have newly emerged and the champions that have gone down with this patch.

And the new runes and items.

And in addition, gameplay.

'Hmm.'

Looking at the patch notes, I already felt my head starting to ache.

However, despite that, excitement came first.

I hadn't been playing League of Legends for just a day or two, but every new patch always excited me.

'Tomorrow.'

I felt like tonight would be quite long.
