[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 30

Agent T Mission Complete

‘Hmm.’

If there's one fortunate thing, it's that the opponent also doesn't have a complete line.

[SCV WhiteCat – Saimira]

[MAX Lineover – Nautilus]

Support duo.

According to some statistical data, there's a rumor that support users' performance drops significantly when they go to other positions compared to users of other lines.

Well… it practically meant nothing since most supports understand the bottom lane matchup.

Even if weaknesses are exposed, they will appear at mid or late game teamfights, not from the laning phase.

-Welcome to the Summoner's Rift.

The game has officially begun.

Excluding Rainbow, there was no one easy to deal with.

‘That jungle on the other side… it looked familiar. It’s that Chinese pro from that time.’

The Red Cup champions, runners-up, and the top 4 players were gathered in one place.

It was indeed a gateway to rank 1.

‘This is what makes it fun.’

The game has already started.

There's no need to be overly cautious.

What's needed is only resolve and focus.

‘The opposing jungler is Elison. The core of the game will be the top side battle.’

That means it should never be allowed to proceed smoothly.

Elison Renekton isn't called a standard combination for nothing.

If Elison succeeds in a top gank or top dive even once, the game becomes difficult to recover.

Elison's standard route is buff-buff-gromp, also known as the buff-buff-gromp route.

It's a route to quickly reach level 3 and then intervene in the lane, and depending on Elison's performance at this time, the future direction of the game can be determined.

In other words, I have to somehow put a brake on this standard route.

‘Top is a matchup that I'll win in a 1v1 anyway. What I need to do is prevent Elison from intervening in top.’

There are several methods.

Follow the buff-buff-gromp route like Elison and head to the top lane together.

Or, clear three camps in the upper jungle and intervene in the top lane even faster than Elison, thus breaking the gank opportunity itself.

Or…

‘I can just make them unable to take the buff-buff-gromp route from the beginning by making an early move.’

I’ve expressed it as a gamble, but the early invade strategy is one of the best strategies to easily win in solo queue.

Moreover, we have Alistar on our side, who's also called the level 1 Guardian.

‘Also, there’s Kamal.’

Even if the pilot seems a bit questionable, Kamal's destructive power in a level 1 invade was also extraordinary.

Someone said.

It’s true that Prisoner has been playing well these days, but isn't he just a one-trick-pony for invades?

Well…

Even if I can't readily agree with that opinion, the tastiest games are the ones you win easily.

Moreover, especially if it is a gateway to rank 1.

[Prisoner(Diana) is on the way]

I ping diligently towards the bottom lane three-way bush.

[⬇] [⬇]

[3MinuteTopTeachHonorGod(Kamal) is on the way]

Someone pinged towards the top side in the middle, but I lightly ignored it.

Still thinks he's the top laner.

We arrived at the bottom lane one-way bush, with Alistar in the lead, and entered the three-way bush.

-Wiiiing.

With Alistar's lens, a ward was revealed in the three-way bush.

[+10G]

Nice ten gold.

‘That's not what matters.’

It was important from here.

[❕] [❕] [❕]

I ping retreat repeatedly, inducing our team to move back.

After inducing them to pull out as if retreating before the ward's vision completely disappears…

[⬇]

[Prisoner(Diana) is on the way]

We naturally go back in.

These kinds of tricks, which often create great moments, are often shown by players who are called masters of vision.

Well, I think I know about vision as much as they do.

And…

Nautilus, who was waiting in the bush, started running away in a hurry.

「What, weren't we supposed to retreat?」

It was a move that, to anyone, seemed to suggest that he thought that.

At that moment.

-Chak!

Kamal's hook sticks to the wall.

It was a long-range engage, one of the reasons why level 1 Kamal is strong in an invade.

-Chwaaak!

Kamal flies toward Nautilus.

‘The distance seems a little short?’

When there is a clear difference in distance that anyone would think so.

-Flash!

e e Flash.

Kamal's finishing move.

-Flash!

Sensing the danger, the opposing Nautilus used a matching Flash without any hesitation.

In the end, the Flashes of Kamal and Nautilus crossed paths, and nothing happened.

Looking at Nautilus running far away, Kamal displayed an expression.

『👍』

He threw his finishing move into the air and feels good about it.

Of course, since it's a Flash trade, you could say it's not even a loss, but it's the Flash of the mid laner and the support.

Their values can't be the same.

Moreover, there's also the value of Flash depending on the champion.

Especially in Kamal's case, there are situations where a finishing gank can be possible depending on the Flash. It was even more disappointing.

‘No mid ganks until the Flash is back up.’

Of course, I don't intend to say this out loud.

Anyway, thanks to Kamal's aggressive movements, the other team retreated from the red jungle without hesitation.

The top laner's audacity, or rather, lack of audacity, made the other side flustered.

‘He retreated too cooly. There's a high chance he’s either trying to go up the jungle path, or aiming for my red.’

Then, I make a bold decision here.

‘The places where the opponent is estimated to have placed wards are the red bush and the mid river three-way.’

Then…

-Shwooo.

As I moved to a spot that was expected to be a blind spot for wards and pressed recall, the team seemed flustered.

[❗] [❗] [❗]

Quiet down, you guys.

[❕] [❕] [❕]

Get out of there too.

The reason I specifically moved to the blind spot of the wards was to prevent Elison from recklessly entering the red jungle again.

By doing this, he won't be able to start with the red without hesitation, and at the same time, he won't be able to target my red.

-Shwoo!

I returned home and immediately headed towards my red.

[⬇] [⬇] [⬇]

[Prisoner(Diana) is on the way]

Of course, I also didn't forget to bring Koon and Kamal in preparation for a possible surprise attack.

‘The opponent's composition is Renekton, Elison, and Zoe. Even if the opponent is waiting, we are overwhelmingly advantageous in a level 1 3v3 fight.’

Even if you take Rainbow's Zoe into account, Renekton and Elison are not strong champions at level 1, compared to their known early aggression.

No, they're rather weak champions.

In contrast, what about our champions?

Conqueror Diana with a powerful basic attack passive.

Koon, a ranged basic attack-based champion.

Kamal, a champion who's a scam from birth.

No matter how you look at it, at level 1, we don't lose. We only have the picture of dominating.

‘There's nothing, as expected.’

Whether he was waiting and left after seeing Kamal and Renekton joining, or if he was blue-starting from the beginning, what's important is that the early game design went as I planned.

‘Still, it’s a bit disappointing.’

That's not it, it's about the recent jungle experience-related patch.

After the patch, even if you clear three jungle camps on the blue side in the early game, you level up to 3.

It was a patch that improved the early-game rights of junglers, but at this moment, I couldn't hide a little bit of disappointment.

‘If it was before the patch, I could have forced the route… it's a shame.’

If it was before the patch, even if you cleared all of the blue side jungle, you would only be level 2, so Elison would have no choice but to head to the bottom jungle.

Forcing the jungle path.

However, in the current version, that was impossible, so Elison in the current situation could be said to have a little more freedom in the route.

‘Still, there's a world of difference between having the red buff and not having it.’

It's the early timing where the outcome is determined by a single basic attack.

The slow and damage on the red buff, to exaggerate a little, is comparable to an early Elder buff in terms of experience.

It means Elison is likely to jungle towards taking the red buff as much as possible.

‘Because he probably doesn't want to do a 2v2 fight with Diana, who has the red, in the top lane.’

And the rest is simple.

I leave the top lane to become a 1v1 situation naturally, and I increase the gap by influencing other lanes.

However…

Variables are called variables because they were not anticipated.

-First Blood!

-Our team has been slain!

Before two minutes had even passed since the game began, our mid laner was dead.

He probably couldn't escape because he didn't have Flash.

-3MinuteTopTeachHonorGod(Kamal) : Zoe Flash

-3MinuteTopTeachHonorGod(Kamal) : Zoe Ignite

This is it.

The absolute power that breaks through any strategy or tactic at once.

That was the true power that Rainbow possessed.

[All][3MinuteTopTeachHonorGod(Kamal) : Agent T Mission Complete.]

[All][3MinuteTopTeachHonorGod(Kamal) : We cannot let a lowly butcher take the sacred rank 1.]

Now that I think about it, the current rank 1 seemed to be the top laner…

‘…No, that's not the point.’

[Prisoner(Diana) : Hey?]

[3MinuteTopTeachHonorGod(Kamal) : How’s it? I just made the opponent let their guard down]

No matter how you look at it, it seems like his true feelings, doesn't it?

[3MinuteTopTeachHonorGod(Kamal) : I'll fatten up the mid lane, come on in when I say go gg]

…Is that fat? It looks like muscle?

Something that looks like it can bench 500.

‘…Ugh.’

What can I do?

My sin is indeed great for readily accepting the suspicious duo proposal of that suspicious person at this important moment.

‘Still, Zoe's spells are all gone, right?’

I looked at the mid lane quietly.
