I recognize a few familiar IDs.

Among them, the most welcome ID was, of course, Rainbow.

Two-time Red Cup champion mid laner.

He, who also occupies a spot in my friend list, was, as expected, matched in the same game as me as soon as I started the queue.

Usually, he would have whispered a greeting at this point… but for some reason, he was silent today.

‘Well, he must be busy.’

It's not hard to imagine that he’s doing something else after starting the queue.

Next, my gaze naturally turned to SCV's bottom duo.

The so-called beast duo of SCV's bottom duo.

SCV is a team that has recorded mid-to-upper tier results within the domestic league, and is a team that recorded a shocking top 4 finish in this Red Cup.

If the opponent in the semi-finals hadn’t been the winning team, SY, it wouldn't be strange if they had won the championship.

The destructive power of their bottom lane, which is the core of the team, is considered to be among the best in the world.

"Free win."

The Red Cup champion laner and the top 4 bottom duo.

It was a team I couldn't lose to even if I wanted to.

‘The top lane is a little concerning… but it'll be okay.’

Since this is the first ID I've seen, a solo rank veteran, it seems he is Chinese, so I just hope he doesn't throw.

‘I'm the first pick.’

Blue team first pick.

There are many advantages and disadvantages to picking first.

The advantage is that you can first pick the OP champions according to the patch, but that's only true in team games, and in solo rank, first pick means you're bound to be countered.

Therefore, when you're the first pick on the blue team, the available picks are somewhat limited.

Either choose an OP champion that has no counter,

or choose a champion that can perform multiple positions and can swap lanes,

or choose a champion that is suitable for first pick.

‘Hmm.’

It’s the same for any lane, but I don't really prefer to be the first pick either.

As I said before, the champions that are available are too limited.

But if I swap with another teammate, it is obvious that the synergy of my teammates' lanes will be pushed back, so I looked at the pick screen without complaint.

[Ban List]

Sylas / Kaisa

Shaco / Sylas

Karthus / Morgana

Talun / Atreus

Kaisa / Trash

‘This one survived.’

A champion that's been banned almost every time recently has somehow survived the ban.

-I must go there.

Lee Sin.

It requires considerable physical ability, so it's not usually a champion I play well, but I chose it because it was a free win game, no matter how I looked at it.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to troll.

Lee Sin was an OP champion in the current meta, and also a versatile champion capable of lane swapping.

The ban-pick progressed.

[Allies / Enemies]

Top: Jayson / Sion

Jungle: Lee Sin / Elise

Mid: Zoe / Orianna

ADC: Tristana / Samira

Support: Nautilus / Leona

Overall, it was a decent ban-pick.

Our team could be seen as a poke composition that emphasizes poking instead of having a tank, and the opposing team was a textbook teamfight composition with a tank.

If asked who was better, we were better in the laning phase and the standoff phase, and the opposing team was better in the late-game teamfight.

-Welcome to the Summoner's Rift.

The game officially began.

As expected of a high-elo game, there was no one taking the time to relax, like a so-called ‘cigarette break’.

The pings are going off like crazy.

We boldly went into the enemy red jungle through the upper bush.

It was an invade that caught the opponent off guard, but the opposing team are also high-elo users and current professionals.

As if they had expected this, the opposing team were all gathered, and a level 1 teamfight immediately broke out.

-First Blood!

Among them, the one that stood out was, of course, Rainbow's Zoe.

Flash, Ignite, Flash, Exhaust, Flash…….

‘She took W at level 1?’

If you consider that a normal Zoe takes Q or E, it was an insane decision.

-Double Kill!

-Triple Kill!

-Rampage!

Zoe, who was active, literally wreaking havoc in the middle of the battlefield, got a triple kill.

The result was a 4:1 victory.

[Mid eat and move around: Zoe is so OP]

[ORD Ruma: I agree]

The opposing team also seemed to have virtually given up the game, not expecting to see Zoe's flash show at level 1.

The snowballing didn't end there.

Nautilus, who had already swapped his trinket for a sweeping lens, cleared out all of the opposing team's wards planted in the enemy red area.

This meant that the opposing jungler was forced to start blue, and also forced to make a choice in his future path.

Since they don't know my path at all, they are essentially left to the realm of luck as to where they should go.

Normally, in these situations, the laners should help their allied jungler to some extent, but it was impossible for the laners who had already given a triple kill to Rainbow's Zoe and used up their spells.

As expected.

The difference in levels between the opposing jungler, who had failed at the easy choice, or more, and me, had widened to 3 levels.

[Lee Sin – Level 7]

[Elise – Level 4]

It was a rare sight in high-elo games where the top players are located, but this happened because the game had been so badly disrupted during the invade.

As if they had decided that there was no answer with this, the 5 members of the opposing team gathered and attempted to dive the allied top lane.

-An ally has been slain!

-Shutdown!

Normally, if the opposing team isn't visible this much, it's common sense for the laners to be a little cautious…

As expected, we couldn't expect that from our top laner.

[meiuvanfairer55: sorry]

At least he was a friend with a conscience.

‘Then it's common sense to repay.’

Now it was the mid-jungle's turn to step up.

At the moment the opposing team of 5, who had finished the top dive, were hurriedly retreating, Lee Sin and Zoe blocked their retreat.

A 5:2 situation.

However, the opponent's health, ultimate, and spell situation are not good.

I made the decision and entered without hesitation.

'Now.'

The combo, which happened in the blink of an eye, sent three of the opponents flying like billiard balls.

It was the very combo that is sometimes called the Lee Sin show-off combo on YouTube.

And then it was Zoe's solo stage.

She steadily picked up the flashes that the opposing team dropped as they retreated, narrowing the angle of the encirclement.

Samira, who was soon hit by the sleep bubble, literally exploded in one hit.

-Dominating the Battlefield!

The opposing team, who had lost their ADC so easily, were in disarray and were hunted down one by one.

I, who had also rotated my skills once, was also running wild again, rotating my skills.

-God of War!

The opponent, who seemed to have read the losing game, tried to retreat in the middle, but there was nowhere to run.

Can this be called a teamfight?

Isn't it more like a hunt?

Suddenly, that thought came to mind.

-Legendary!

-Finisher!

The result was literally a massacre.

The result that came out was something you couldn't possibly believe was a teamfight that started at 5:2.

Countless hooks were shot out soon after.

[?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?]

There are two possibilities when a hook is shot.

Either they were ridiculously bad,

or they showed an unbelievable super play.

Of course, the play we showed was the latter.

The fact that two people showed dominance against five opponents meant that.

‘…What? Why am I so good?’

I also couldn't hide my bewilderment.

At first, I thought it was because it was an easy win game.

After all, the difficulty of the game play itself is different for easy and difficult games.

But the more I played the game, the more a sense of inexplicable incongruity enveloped my entire body.

My fingertips are light.

As if the champion and I were one, the champion moves according to my will.

The movements of the opposing champions are clearly visible, and it's not too difficult to react.

A sensation I hadn't felt until now.

Of course, objectively speaking, I'm good at the game.

But the good part was only based on a long experience, practice, and personal research, not on aspects such as combat or physical skills.

But now, something has changed.

A different feeling from the me of before.

It’s fun.

The game is so much fun.

‘If it's like this…….’

I gradually fell into a state of selflessness.

Little by little.
