[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 49

To be honest, Joo-yi's tier hasn't been that high recently.

Nevertheless, the reason I specifically banned Joo-yi was because it was one of the signature picks for Rainbow.

It was a kind of provocation.

Familiar IDs, as always.

Among them, what especially stands out are CarryDoWell and MobyDick.

[1]

Speak of the devil.

A 1:1 conversation arrived.

[CarryDoWell : Oh hi]

CarryDoWell.

One of the countless top laners in my friend list.

I hadn't checked because I was busy paying attention to Rainbow, but it seemed like we were in the same queue.

CarryDoWell's play style could be said to be the complete opposite of the 3-minute Top Lane Glory Doctrine.

In short, if the 3-minute Top Lane Glory Doctrine tries to dive and kill the opposing top laner even when they're leading the lane, CarryDoWell would roam to the mid lane or go into the enemy jungle to secure vision.

There was no definitive answer as to what was correct, but in any case, CarryDoWell, who had a stable win rate when playing with me, had a higher win rate than the high-risk, high-reward player, the 3-minute Top Lane Glory Doctrine.

[Me : Hi]

[CarryDoWell : You've been on fire lately... I'll take the bus ㅎㅎ]

[Me : ㅎㅎ;]

Looking at it like this, I wonder if it was a targeted game.

‘And the rest of the team... MobyDick and BlackDog, huh.’

For now, the positions were a bit messed up.

Because there were two ADCs.

‘But… still, the good thing is that the ADCs are extraordinary.’

GRS MobyDick.

When generally naming the world's best laner, it's common to choose the laner from the winning team of the Red Cup that year.

Even so, if you were to ask who the world's best ADC is? MobyDick is one of the three names that are always mentioned, along with SY Longbow and SCV BlackDog.

In reality, as a Red Cup runner-up, he could be considered a kind of rival to BlackDog, the ADC of SCV, a Red Cup semi-finalist team with a similar team color.

For now, the assigned positions are MobyDick as mid and BlackDog as ADC.

‘Well, I'll have to wait and see.’

The bans were complete.

[Ban List]

Xayah / Ezreal

⛝ / Ryze

Ezreal / Gwen

⛝ / Nocturne

Joo-yi / ⛝

Our team's side is the red team.

It's the top side, and we have the last pick.

[Sylas]

The enemy's first pick took Sylas without a moment's hesitation.

It was a good choice, as it was a champion capable of swapping top and mid, and the champion's value was high to begin with.

[Sett]

CarryDoWell, our team's first pick, chose Sett.

Like Sylas, it could play multiple positions, and it was a more suitable pick than Sylas as a first pick.

‘Now it's MobyDick's turn.’

I was secretly worried that he would throw a tantrum, demanding the ADC role, but unexpectedly, MobyDick chose the champion without saying anything.

[Lucian]

A good choice.

Because Lucian is a ranged dealer champion, and ironically, he performs much better in the top and mid lanes.

Moreover, Lucian can also be used as a counter-pick to Sylas, taking advantage of the last pick.

‘Furthermore, it's not bad even as a first pick.’

As I said before, Lucian is a champion that can play multiple positions.

So, a strange thought occurred to me without my realizing it.

‘...Could it be that he picked him thinking he was the ADC?’

Even if it's not the first or second time playing on the Korean server, he should be able to recognize the Korean words that indicate the position…….

‘He could have just put him in mid.’

Right?

He probably did.

Trying to think hopefully, I hoped this wasn't a sign of a dodge.

And…….

The ban pick was finally complete.

[Our Team / Enemy Team]

Top : Sett / Viego

Jungle : Rammus / Diana

Mid : Lucian / Sylas

ADC : Kalista / Aphelios

Support : Rell / Nautilus

As if the initial worry was unfounded, MobyDick seemed to know that his position was mid.

‘Or he might have thought it was mid Kalista, but… even then, that would be going too far.’

For now, the overall lane matchup could be considered quite favorable.

Because Sett, Lucian, and Kalista all had significant advantages in the lane phase.

Of course, in the case of the bottom lane, it is generally considered that the support is more important than the ADC, so we'll have to wait and see how the game goes.

[Please select a skin!]

The game started.

───────────────

Slave of Jungler - Viego

SY YunGi - Diana

SY Rainbow - Sylas

MAX KingGodEmperor - Aphelios

dwqkopkwrkty - Nautilus

───────────────

As expected, familiar IDs appeared in the enemy mid and jungle.

Rainbow and YunGi.

The world's best mid and jungle duo.

There was no need to be unnecessarily afraid.

After all, they were people I had to overcome someday.

It just happened to be today.

The invade position was normal.

Sett looked at the vision in the top side bush, and Lucian waited in mid.

I watched the vision in the straight bush going to the river on the bottom side, and our bottom lane watched the vision in the direction of going from the blue side to the river.

It was because Rammus, who had to manage the heat through his W skill from the beginning, didn't want to cause any unnecessary variables in the early game.

[❕] [❕] [❕]

As expected, at the one-minute mark, the enemy, led by Nautilus and Sylas, invaded our blue side.

Of course, there was no significant damage as our bottom lane duo quickly retreated, but unfortunately, we lost vision of the blue side.

This means we can't know where the enemy jungler is starting.

Yes, that is, if our team doesn't help.

Sett, who had confirmed a moment ago that the enemy four people invaded the blue side, placed a ward in the enemy blue side bush.

He encountered the enemy Viego in the middle, but even though Viego was a strong fighter, he wasn't reckless enough to trade damage with a level 1 Sett.

『👍』

The enemy Diana's jungle starting point is our blue or enemy red.

Due to the vision situation, the routes were likely to be split evenly.

‘That is, in general cases.’

The opponent is YunGi.

And he's with Rainbow.

No matter what it is, it was reckless to judge and decide hastily.

After quickly taking the top three camps, I didn't head towards our blue side and went straight to the river.

Because the scene of the enemy Diana going from our blue side to the river was seen on the ward.

This resulted in the routes being split evenly as I initially thought.

‘The bottom lane has to hold out well.’

Because if something went wrong, they could give the enemy jungler a ganking or diving opportunity.

Of course, if this happens, our team's top side will be a bit relieved, but…….

‘Ugh.’

I glanced at the top lane.

The enemy top laner, Slave of Jungler, was playing the lane well, just like a smart top laner.

He made it so that they couldn't gank, nor could they dive.

Naturally, as someone who had to gain an advantage on the top side in the early game, the game couldn't help but feel frustrating.

‘Hmm.’

Just as I was thinking of jungling and was about to enter the enemy blue side through the river.

There was an intense early damage trade in mid.

[MobyDick1111(Lucian) : Sylas Flash]

Both mid laners' flashes were used.

I watched the damage trade from the back and couldn't help but admire it.

‘…Woah.’

Rainbow and MobyDick.

They are among the top three when it comes to the world's legends of League.

What is a superstar?

There are many conditions, but I personally think the most important condition is the flashy super plays.

When everyone gives up, when everyone thinks it's not possible, the so-called superstars make the impossible possible.

And Rainbow and MobyDick were both such superstars.

If left as is, the damage trade from a moment ago will be made into a GIF file and will cause a huge sensation later.

But you see.

‘I intend to win.’

You can have your one-on-one fights in the mid lane.

I immediately headed to mid.

Under normal circumstances, Rainbow wouldn't have been so aggressive in trading damage, as Lucian was a strong laner.

However, MobyDick's aggressive attack forced Rainbow out of the turret.

He instilled the fear of possibly losing mid lane dominance until the end of the game if he didn't fight back until the end, even to Rainbow.

Of course, such an intense damage trade inevitably calls the enemy jungler.

From here on, it's the jungler's domain.

As the intense damage trade between them ended, YunGi's Diana appeared through the straight bush on the lower river as if waiting for it.

YunGi also had the same idea as me.

‘A 2:2 fight isn't bad.’

However,

Thanks to YunGi's route going down, the enemy support, who had relatively taken the initiative, also appeared.

The 2:2 fight became a 2:3 fight.

[❕] [❕] [❕]

Continuous retreat pings were being sent, but it was too late for Lucian to retreat.

‘Should I give up?’

As I was momentarily considering it.

Wiiiing─

A teleport was cast on a mid minion.
