[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 279

Just give it.

BLH, dreaming of one last team fight, handed over the objectives to OLZ one by one.

First the dragon, then the herald.

Then the dragon again, and the herald again.

Soon after, the turret, then another turret.

Despite the game gradually tilting towards OLZ, BLH didn't have much energy left to resist.

But BLH still had one last move left.

Diana, alone on the side.

Seeing that, BLH moved as one.

『“We need to look bottom lane now!”』

Catch Diana, Outlaw.

Despite the situation where the top second turret and the mid second turret were simultaneously under pressure, BLH thought so and all 5 moved as one.

『“Let's catch Diana, that's what they decided, right?!”』

『“Diana has a bounty on her head right now?! Indeed… If they can just catch her, BLH has a chance!”』

『“But we need to hurry now! If we drag this out, top and mid will both be destroyed!”』

『“That’s right!”』

『“Teleport to bottom lane now!”』

WEEING──

It started with Renekton's back teleport.

The ward that the support had planted earlier was used like this.

『“They’re closing in! Can Diana survive this?!”』

-Diana is a monster now, can she do it?

-Still, doing something is better than just losing ㅇㅇ

-Can she be caught?

-Isn't it 1:5 and she's dying? ㅋㅋ

The viewers were indifferent.

The situation was so overwhelmingly in OLZ's favor that even if Diana died here, there was almost no chance of the game's outcome changing.

Renekton closes in from behind.

In response, four of BLH's champions charged at Diana from the front.

As Renekton, without sparing Flash, landed his w on Diana, Jhin's w was linked.

Meanwhile, the champions of BLH charged in.

Just before Leona's cc fell on Diana's head, Diana's body turned golden.

Joonya's Hourglass.

『“Uh, I used Joonya’s Hourglass… but doesn't she die anyway when this ends?”』

『“BLH's champions are gathering around Diana one by one right now!”』

The duration of Joonya's Hourglass is 2.5 seconds.

It’s enough time to interrupt the flow at a moment where every second counts, but it's not a long time to hold out while isolated.

But, what if it was 5 seconds instead of 2.5 seconds?

『“Uh oh?”』

Joonya - Hourglass combo.

Diana, who should have died long ago, held out for one more turn, and BLH's attempt began to unravel.

During that time, which felt almost eternal, BLH's tempo burned black.

And,

During that time, which they earned, OLZ's other teammates didn't stand still.

As soon as the Hourglass turned on, a magic circle was drawn at Diana's feet.

『“Uh, uh oh……?!”』

That wasn't all.

The flame that began to ignite from the minion next to Diana.

Yune's Teleport.

『“Uhhhhhh!!!!”』

-m.c.h

-This?

-Seriously

In a situation where only "uh" could come out, Galio's ultimate fell, and the situation completely changed.

KUUNG─!

Galio's ultimate hit a wide area.

In addition, Diana's ultimate followed in succession, and two area-of-effect skills hit one after another.

As soon as Galio connected with a 4-person taunt, Yune arrived with a teleport.

Looking at the numbers, it was a 3:5 situation, but the difference in growth was already significant, and Diana and Galio's ultimates hit a wide area so cleanly.

In that situation, it was too easy for Yune to land a multi-person ultimate.

『“No, no, this is……!!!”』

『“Uaaaaaaah!!! Getback's Galio really appeared like a hero!”』

『“This is like this……!”』

BLH's champions were swept away.

-An enemy has been slain!

-Double Kill!

-Triple Kill!

Jhin, who was relatively in the back, succeeded in retreating without being swept away, but Izreal and Yuming were already waiting behind him.

-Finish!

BLH's champions, who aimed for Diana, failed to achieve even their original objective and were instead counterattacked and annihilated.

And the fact that the champions, who should be defending in the current lane situation, were annihilated, meant one conclusion.

『“OLZ's champions are charging in! Can BLH stop this?!”』

『“Ah… BLH also tried for one last reversal, but it seems like it's over!”』

OLZ's champions advanced without hesitation and soon destroyed BLH's nexus.

『“GG!”』

[Victory]

-Wow m.c.h

-So cool

-What is this really?

-Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!

-This was Getback being really cool ㅇㅇ

-The double Joonya hold and then Galio ult was amazing ㄷㄷ

-It was awesome

-Won’t they show the replay?

The chat window was shaking, and cheers erupted from outside the arena as well.

* * *

“Everyone did well.”

“Good good.”

A smooth victory in the first game.

In a way, it was a game they won smoothly as usual, but somehow, there was a feeling that the opponent was intimidated to an excessive degree.

The BLH we knew was a team that knew when to fight, but in the previous game, they were so powerless, just giving it away, and the game ended like that.

Perhaps for that reason, Baek Seong-an said.

“This… I think there’s a certain image of our team that’s been established among the Challenger Korea teams.”

“What kind of image?”

“That we absolutely can't be defeated, something like that?”

Kim Jae-min chimed in.

“It's a fact.”

“Shut up.”

Despite the kid's interruption, Baek Seong-an continued.

“But our goal is the promotion tournament. The teams we have to face there aren’t the Challenger Korea teams, but the first-division teams.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Let’s not be careless.”

Kim Jae-min spoke again.

“Hey, what again.”

“You're the biggest problem.”

“I carried in the first game?”

“Hmm.”

And…….

Amidst the meaningless chatter, the second game began in earnest.

As Baek Seong-an said, BLH also showed a rather defensive side in the second game.

We led the game throughout the lane phase, and as in the first game, quickly rolled the snowball.

Killing the opponent,

Taking the dragon,

Taking the herald,

And soon, took the game.

[Victory]

OLZ vs BLH.

2:0 OLZ Victory.

With this, we finished the regular season of League of Legends Challenger Korea undefeated, and even set-unbeaten.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Everyone worked hard.”

“Hard work.”

Since, whether we won or lost this game, our direct advance to the promotion tournament and the victory in Challenger Korea were already decided, the team members' reactions were more indifferent than expected.

-Waaaaaaa!!!

However, just because we were like that didn’t mean the fans who were watching this game were the same.

The roaring stands.

“Everyone from OLZ, please come out!”

Following the staff's words, we left the arena booth.

As we left the booth, a huge cheer, incomparable to what we heard inside, greeted us.

-OLZ! OLZ! OLZ!

-Outlaw! Outlaw!

Uh…….

The voices in the stands sounded louder than usual, and it wouldn't be a mere coincidence.

Today is the last day of the League of Legends Challenger Korea regular season.

In addition, it's also the day when our team's victory in Challenger Korea is announced.

We bowed to the stands together and waited.

As we waited for a while, the commentators began the full-scale interview.

“First, you have finished the last day of the League of Legends Challenger Korea regular season with a victory, so we would like to hear one word from each of you. First… from the player, Honor.”

“Uh… I'm glad we won.”

“Yes, then player Outlaw?”

“Thank you for your support. We will make sure to win in this promotion tournament and meet you on a bigger stage.”

“Ahaha! That's a good ambition. And, player Getback.”

“I didn't know I'd be standing on the professional stage again… I'm really grateful to my teammates, and I'll work hard in the remaining promotion tournament. Thank you.”

“Player Jammin.”

“Uh, that… the promotion tournament too, um. Ah. I'll sweep it.”

The commentators’ faces showed genuine embarrassment.

“…Yes?”

“Ah, a mistake. A mistake. I'll work hard.”

“…Ahaha! It seems that player Jammin was very nervous. Player Protein?”

“I'll work hard.”

As each person’s simple words of reflection passed, the award ceremony began in earnest.

“Actually, there was no match called the final in Challenger Korea, so there was no separate presentation of the championship cup. But it's changed from this season!”

“Yes. There were many talks that it wasn't worthy of a championship!”

We couldn't know why such a change had suddenly occurred, but when the championship cup was right in front of our eyes, something in our hearts was pounding.

“Alright, OLZ players! Congratulations on your victory!”

“Congratulations!”

The championship cup presentation ceremony began in earnest.

-Waaaaaaa!!!

-OLZ! OLZ! OLZ!

So, our team members held the championship cup together.

It was smaller than expected, but it didn't matter since we planned to hold a bigger one later.

“Now, we will announce the Challenger Korea regular season POG. The grand POG is… player Outlaw!”

With that, another big cheer erupted in the stands.

-Waaaaaaa!!

-Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!

“Alright, player Outlaw, come here.”

“Ah… Yes, yes.”

“How do you feel about being selected as the regular season overall POG like this?”

“Uh… I think it's good. Thank you all for your support. I will show you an even better performance in the promotion tournament.”

“Outlaw player's ambitious aspirations! We'll look forward to it in the future. Now, please lift the championship cup in front of the fans!”

“Uh, yes, yes?”

“The championship cup!”

Actually, the direct advance to the promotion tournament is more valuable than the victory in Challenger Korea.

But, even so, as I held the championship cup like this, I felt something welling up in my heart.

“Uh, that…….”

I slowly reached out to the championship cup.
