[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 285

The bottom dive didn't happen.

This was because SY's bottom duo had abandoned the turret and pulled back.

"Hmm."

"Ah, they're going for the Herald now."

"Seems a bit late."

"Can't be helped."

While MAX's bottom duo was essentially full-clearing, Nadal, who arrived at the Herald late, started hitting it.

『“Ah… they're eating the Herald, but… it tastes so bad!”』

『“Is there a first Herald that tastes this bad?!”』

The Herald is only good when you can take it unilaterally when both teams' turrets are equal.

What's the point of getting all your turret-clearing done by the opponent just to get the Herald?

Therefore, the Herald that SY was eating was merely thrown to them for MAX to eat, a situation that could never be considered an advantage.

- The blue team has slain the Rift Herald!

"This is not good for SY."

"Looks like it."

Nadal, who ate the Herald, rushed to the top, but Jason was already preparing for a dive with the turret.

Furthermore, since the turret shield was not even given up, it wasn't much of an advantage for SY even if they released the Herald.

『"Uchan is really on fire today?! Not only is he constantly pressuring The One's Renekton, but he's also smoothly avoiding Nadal's ganks!"』

『"SY is definitely not doing well right now. It's an emergency, an emergency!"』

In the end, Yun-gi pressed the recall button without using the Herald.

He judged that it was almost a waste to release the Herald on a top turret that was almost at full health, especially since there was still time until 14 minutes.

'I would have done it differently.'

The game is already difficult.

If so, they had to force the Herald onto the top lane to drive Jason away, even if not a dive.

Above all, isn't the location of the opposing jungle completely revealed?

'Not like Yun-gi.'

Not only for me, but Yun-gi would have made that play normally.

The fact that an uncharacteristic play is coming out also indicates that the game has gone wrong.

The game continued.

Yun-gi, in the end, couldn't find a place to use the Herald, so he chose to release it in the mid lane and give Azir the gold.

It could be considered fortunate that the worst-case scenario of the Herald failing to headbutt didn't happen.

As a result of MAX's strong pressure on SY's bottom lane, SY's bottom turret became like a candle in the wind.

If they put a little more pressure, it would collapse.

In that situation, MAX's bottom duo naturally moved first.

MAX's bottom duo went to the mid lane, and as they pressured the mid lane, they also naturally took the initiative for the second Herald that would appear soon.

Even if Azir had good lane clearing and was a champion with a long reach, he couldn't stop Ezreal, Karma, and Viktor from blatantly pressuring the mid lane.

『“Ah, this mid lane…!”』

『“If this happens, MAX will naturally take the initiative in the Herald area, right?!”』

『“SY, this is not good right now! They're being tossed around by MAX!”』

I said.

"This is dangerous."

"Right?"

"No, MAX is."

"Huh?"

On the surface, MAX seems to be at a greater advantage.

But, that's why we had to be even more careful.

The opponent was none other than the World Champion,

The opponent was none other than SY,

The opponent was none other than Rainbow.

"Huh?"

Baek Seong-an sighed softly,

"Ehhh."

Kim Jae-min's voice grew louder,

"Uh."

Seo Yeon-woo even reacted.

Super play.

In a moment of crisis, a play that the players called superstars must make.

A split-second gap.

Rainbow's Azir slipped between Ezreal and Karma, exploiting that gap.

And the subsequent Flash + Ultimate.

As soon as Ezreal and Karma were delivered forward, Jhin's W, which arrived late, hit Ezreal.

And Nadal's spear, which flew from the bush, and Jhin's ultimate followed.

- Enemy slain!

- Shut down!

Karma barely managed to escape using Flash, but Ezreal, who was hit by Azir and then hit by Jhin's W, couldn't even use Flash and exploded.

『“RAINBOWWWWWW!!!!”』

『“No, how is this…!”』

『“It's amazing! How can they make such a play in this situation?!”』

The opponent is Ezreal.

And that's Ezreal with Flash.

That's why it was a play with a risk that Rainbow could react to depending on their actions.

But Rainbow did it.

'Rather, I think it worked because of this situation.'

The King God Emperor's Ezreal was a little off guard.

The stage of the finals.

A very advantageous situation.

All these situations worked together to make Ezreal take one more step, and he couldn't even imagine that the opponent would resist.

Anyway, what was important was that the game, which had been tilting towards MAX from this point on, started tilting towards SY.

『“This… MAX is not doing well. It's the second Herald timing that Ezreal died!”』

『“We could say that Rainbow was aiming for this.”』

『“Can MAX do this? 5:4, right?”』

They seemed to think they couldn't give up the Herald, and the remaining four MAX champions started to harass SY, who had started hitting the Herald.

"It looks better to push the bottom lane and pressure the mid lane instead…"

"Give what you can give" is generally seen as a negative perspective, but that doesn't mean it's always bad to give what you can give.

Selection and concentration.

MAX failed in their selection.

MAX failed to concentrate.

That was the result now.

- The blue team has slain the Rift Herald!

The early laning phase ended like that.

The situation returned to square one.

SY immediately released the second Herald in the mid lane and completely destroyed MAX's mid turret.

- The red team's turret has been destroyed!

The second battlefield was the second Dragon.

It should have been like that originally, but MAX moved one step faster than that.

The time when SY knew that the fight would start with the second Dragon.

Those few tens of seconds of the void.

"They timed this well."

"Yeah."

When SY's champions scattered for a moment to clear the lanes that were being pulled, MAX's champions joined in the mid lane.

『“Jhin and Yumi can't stop this, right?!”』

『“Renekton has Teleport, but it doesn't seem like anything will happen even if he comes.”』

- The blue team's turret has been destroyed!

This resulted in the destruction of both teams' mid first turrets.

It was true that SY was slightly more advantageous in terms of global gold, but it wasn't a significant difference.

In other words, the situation was even.

As the even standoff continued, the second Dragon finally appeared.

It was a Chemtech Dragon.

MAX was the one who first took the vision of the river below.

This was because it was a little easier to take the vision on the Dragon side due to the characteristics of the red team, and MAX was in control of the bottom lane.

The fierce standoff continued.

Both teams' compositions were well-suited for long-range combat.

From here on, it could be considered a skill-shot battle.

『“It's not the usual, as neither team has a strong initiation, so the psychological warfare is unusual, right?!”』

『“MAX's poking is definitely stronger with one shot after another, but SY has much better sustain!”』

The opportunity came to MAX first.

After one round of proper poking, before SY's sustain could be used.

MAX started hitting the Dragon first.

The fierce psychological warfare between both teams took place with the Chemtech Dragon in between.

Skills and skills.

Dragon and champions.

The Dragon's health slowly decreased like that.

Unfortunately for SY, SY's poking hardly reached MAX.

This was because there was a possibility of dying while poking due to the number of shots that were pouring in.

The moment the Dragon's health gradually decreased.

Yun-gi's Nadal rushed into the Dragon's nest to fight for the Smite.

And that soon became the worst choice.

- The red team has slain the Chemtech Dragon!

Smite battle defeat.

Actually, this wasn't important at all.

What was important was that Yun-gi's Nadal rushed into the Dragon's nest, causing SY's overall formation to collapse.

『“Nooo…!”』

Until then, mistakes had been made because Yun-gi wasn't like himself, but on the contrary, this time, mistakes were made because he was too much like himself.

- An ally has been slain!

Nadal fell.

Of course, at the same time, Rainbow's Azir rushed in and tried to lift Ezreal again, but the King God Emperor wasn't a clumsy marksman who would be fooled twice by the same trick.

Especially if they were already on edge.

The victory of the second Dragon teamfight went to MAX.

Beyond the simple fact that they got the second Dragon, from this point on, MAX once again seized victory.

Even more sure victory than before.

SY also raised their banner of counterattack in between, and in fact, they almost succeeded, but as a result, MAX took the 1st set.

『“Ah… in the end, the Nexus is destroyed like this!”』

『“GG!”』

After the 1st set ended with MAX's victory, SY still hadn't seemed to adapt, and they also lost the 2nd set.

"Wow, MAX wins this?"

A 2:0 situation.

Contrary to everyone's expectations that SY would win without a hitch, SY was cornered.

And,

The 3rd set's ban-pick began.
