[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 65

Where is the world's best team?

If you ask ordinary people who the best laner in the world is, it often leads to countless controversies, but the world's best team is different.

There is no need for controversy, as a definitive conclusion on this matter comes from the proven stage of the Red Cup more than anything else.

The Red Cup.

The team that wins there is the best team of that year.

So, where is the winning team of the Red Cup?

I knew the answer to that very well.

It's not hard, because they have now appeared before me.

───────────────

(C1) SY TheOne - Yasuo

(C1) SY YunGi - Ezreal

(C1) SY Rainbow - Sylas

(C1) SY Longbow - Yuumi

(C1) SY GuineaPig – Jarvan IV

───────────────

SY.

The undeniable best team in the world.

‘Umm…….’

Of course, this isn’t the first time I’ve met SY players.

TheOne, YunGi, Rainbow, Longbow, and GuineaPig.

I've met them countless times while solo-ranking as a Prisoner.

So, is this the first time I've met all 5 SY players at once? If you ask, that's not really true either.

In most pro teams, unless there's something special, players usually do solo-ranking after the team schedule is over.

Naturally, the time they spend queueing is similar, so even if it's from the second game, the probability of playing together in the first game also naturally increases.

Given the situation, as the SY players are at the top of the solo-rankings individually if the time is right, I couldn't help but encounter them quite often.

Even though I'm not the one to say it, I've always been at the top of solo-ranking too.

So, it's not the first time for me to meet SY players all at once either.

However, that's only when the SY players are divided, as enemies and allies. Meeting the complete SY team like this was also a first for me.

‘…But, meeting them in normal games?’

Moreover, not just any normal game, but a low-level game with players who haven't even reached level 30.

A situation that is incomprehensible in terms of common sense.

‘Is it a bug?’

No matter how many winning streaks you have, and how high your win rate is, this doesn't seem right.

‘The only good thing is that they are not in their respective positions…….’

I will have to start the game to know for sure, but judging from the champion compositions and spells, it didn't seem like they were in their respective positions.

‘Well.’

It's just a normal game.

Usually, the purpose of a 5-man normal game is for fun with friends or for enjoying the game, so even for pro gamers, the purpose wouldn't be much different.

Let alone, for the world's best team, SY.

‘Still, let's see.’

I immediately searched the SY players' records.

To find out which lane each of them is going to.

‘They might go to different lanes… but still, the more information, the better.’

Considering this is a normal game, losing one game doesn't matter, but for some reason, seeing them made my heart race a little after a long time.

SY, all five of them.

The complete team.

I am going to face them.

No matter how much they seem to be casually playing the game in the name of fun, my heart can't help but race.

‘Since it has come to this, it would be nice to maintain a hundred percent win rate.’

To be honest, I didn't know that the win rate would be this extreme when I first created a sub-account.

As a result, it happened this way, but since it has come to this, it wouldn't be bad to maintain a hundred percent win rate if possible.

‘Umm, for now, GuineaPig took Smite, so it's confirmed that he's jungling, and YunGi and Rainbow are bot lane, and TheOne and Longbow seem to be top and mid…….’

Yasuo and Yuumi.

Generally speaking, TheOne, who is originally a top laner, is likely to go Yasuo top as is, but since the current positions are mixed up, I couldn't make a definite conclusion.

‘For now, TheOne was mid in the previous game.’

In other words, the possibility that my opponent will be TheOne's Yasuo is high.

‘Not so good.’

The Raze and Yasuo matchup is one of the matchups that shows extreme compatibility from a statistical point of view.

Not only is Yasuo strong in lane, but the skill composition itself makes Yasuo a good counter to Raze.

‘Well, Yuumi is similar anyway.’

Whether it's Yasuo or Yuumi, neither is easy to deal with as Raze.

Of course, if I had to compare, Yuumi might be slightly better than Yasuo, but to be honest, it was a toss-up.

A counter is a counter.

In short, there was no need to ask a Chinese pro player, who doesn't even speak well, to switch lanes in a normal game.

‘Anyway, as long as the opposing jungler is Jarvan, who is strong at ganking, going top with Raze is not a good choice.’

The current Raze is not the Raze from a long time ago, who used to build defensive items as their main focus, or dealt damage with tanking items, which made him a cheat champion.

The current Raze has a weak body.

He has become an ordinary mage.

Of course, it was not a wise choice for such a fragile champion to walk up to the top, the line of men.

‘If you want to take advantage of the lane against Yuumi with Raze, you inevitably have to push the lane. But if you push… you will definitely die.’

Rather than being ganked and killed, there is also the possibility of getting a solo kill while pushing the lane.

That's why, if you have to go to any lane anyway, my judgment was that going mid, which has a relatively short lane, is definitely better.

-Welcome to Summoner's Rift.

As I examined the champion match-ups of both teams and rolled my eyes, the game began in earnest.

The theory of relativity was correct.

Just because my time seems to be passing quickly.

There were no special pings as in a normal game.

Just a little bit of fuss.

[All][IlIIIIIllIlIll(Risim) : ???]

[All][IlIIIIIllIlIll(Risim) : Why are the hyungs there...?]

[All][nunnaheueeungng(Jinx) : ????? Is this real?]

[All][nunnaheueeungng(Jinx) : Isn't there a Grandmaster in a team, the opposing team ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What is this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[All][nunnaheueeungng(Jinx): Wow... I'm a real fan. I'm honored. Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow!]

[All][Nyami master OdaHye(Nyami) : Huh;;]

[All][Nyami master OdaHye(Nyami) : Please take care of me]

Regardless of that, I didn't care and examined the invade composition as I always do.

+

[Ally / Enemy]

Top: Kamal / Yuumi(?)

Jungle: Risim / Jarvan IV

Mid: Raze / Yasuo(?)

ADC: Jinx / Ezreal

Support: Nyami / Sylas

+

‘Umm.’

Purely looking at the invade composition, it doesn't seem like we'll be at a big advantage or a disadvantage.

However, I think it would be better not to create unnecessary combat situations.

‘The tier difference is clear except for the top and mid.’

There's no point in trying to induce a 5:5 combat; all that will come back is a bloodbath.

And that, a very miserable bloodbath.

‘The only fortunate thing is that there's a Nightmare in the team…….’

It was fortunate that there was at least one person to rely on.

‘Then, first of all.’

As I went mid to light up the vision, Rainbow's Sylas appeared and confronted me as if he had been waiting.

‘Rainbow.’

I didn't expect to meet again like this…….

It was a meeting I couldn't have imagined.

『♛』

Even though Rainbow probably didn't recognize me, he greeted me with his usual playful attitude.

『♛』

Even though some time had passed, Sylas didn't think of leaving mid.

As if he was mid.

‘You know you're not mid, you idiot.’

Sylas's items are support items to begin with.

Of course, due to the nature of normal games, there was a possibility that he might go mid with the ADC, carrying support items… but I didn't think that would be the case.

‘By the way, you seem to be doing well.’

Seeing Rainbow again like this, I have a strange feeling of mixed emotions.

When I, as Prisoner, said goodbye to Rainbow, I had a lot of regrets about that choice I made.

Why did I do that?

I still don't know the answer even now. I thought I should say that much because he's a friend, but in the end, it seemed to have put an unnecessary burden on Rainbow.

‘But it seems like you've gotten over it now.’

The fact that I, the Prisoner, could be shaken off so lightly was a little disappointing, but since we didn't even know each other's faces in the first place, it wasn't surprising.

As I stood in mid with Rainbow like that, the dark history of the past, which wasn't really a dark history, came to mind.

「“Excuse me.”」

「“…Me?”」

「“Yes, you.”」

「“Drink this.”」

「“Huh?”」

「“You look dehydrated.”」

‘…Let's forget.’

If I think of what happened after that, I feel like I won't be able to live long because of self-reproach.

「“Does a bottle of water cost a thousand won these days?”」

「“Huh?”」

「“You spent a thousand won.”」

「“Oh…….”」

「“I bought a gum.”」

「“Really?”」

Why did I make such an excuse?

Even now, when I remember the memories of that day, I kick the blanket while sleeping.

The strange smile my mother gave me at the time… Ugh, I don't even want to think about it.

…Hoo, inner peace. Inner peace. Peace of mind.

-Minions are spawning in 30 seconds.

As we stood in mid with each other for a while, Rainbow's Sylas naturally went down.

It was Support Sylas, as I had originally anticipated.

And…….

Not long after, the champion I absolutely didn't want to see appeared in the mid lane.

Yasuo.

And it was TheOne's Yasuo.

‘TheOne.’

SY's top laner and a player who even has the nickname of the strongest shield.

As the nickname of the shield, TheOne was a player who was very good at his unique solid play as a top laner.

How much so that one of the reasons GRS quickly collapsed in the second game of the last Red Cup was the reverse snowballing caused by an excessive top dive.

‘Well, let's see the distance control.’

Most Yasuo users take q at level 1.

In other words, there is no approach skill.

Therefore, no matter how bad the matchup is, you can take advantage of the distance of a ranged champion at least at level 1.

Basic attack, w, basic attack, basic attack, basic attack.

Even though it was a one-sided damage exchange, it wasn't a big profit.

It was because I got hit a lot by minions as I chased and hit Yasuo.

Of course, even so, there were results.

TheOne, who was aggressively trying to push the lane from the beginning, had become a lot more passive.

‘He seems flustered.’

The reason TheOne was hit so defenselessly by me from the beginning was because it was a normal game.

He got careless.

In other words, a normal game is a place to enjoy moderately, and he wouldn't have thought I would play the game so intensely.

‘But he probably knows now.’

That the shield might break if he makes a mistake.

‘Now then.’

It's time to break SY's shield.
