[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 74
Mysterious...BJ Jjusiasm turned on the broadcast after a long time.
It had been nearly two weeks.
"Hello, everyone! Long time no see. Jjiru~"
- ㅉㅇㄹ
- Jjusiasm is late
- Why didn't you just rest forever?
- Me
- Lock
"Hey, don't be like that. I was having a hard time too."
Two weeks ago, Jjusiasm, who was on a high winning streak, decided to take a sudden long hiatus.
There were several reasons, but the biggest reason was, as always, that he felt that he had been underperforming recently.
It wasn't a slump in broadcasting, of course, but a slump as a gamer that still remained.
「"Everyone, I feel like I'm lacking a lot these days, so I'll go and do some closed-door training."」
It's been quite a while since Jjusiasm, using the catchphrase of being the best amateur jungler, started broadcasting.
Of course, most people considered Prisoner as the best amateur, considering that catchphrase, but that was only a matter of debate, so Jjusiasm could just brazenly ignore it.
Yes, that was only up until before.
It was still okay up until the disastrous defeat in the match against Prisoner that happened a while ago.
The problem was the achievements Prisoner had made afterwards.
The first jungler in the history of amateur, or even the Legend of League, to reach 2000 points.
Although Jjusiasm did get quite a few views from videos related to the now-disappeared Prisoner, the fact gradually caused cracks in Jjusiasm's pride as a gamer and gnawed at it.
-But isn't he not the best amateur jungler anymore?
- ㄹㅇ ㅋㅋㅋ
- Wasn't it not true since a long time ago? He just brazenly ignored it, right?
- That's right ㅋㅋ
In other words, if he used to know he was slightly behind Prisoner and tried to ignore it, now the gap had become so vast that it was impossible to do so.
「"...I'll stop here today."」
Eventually, he gradually lost his enthusiasm for broadcasting and even announced a hiatus.
And today was his comeback day.
During the hiatus, Jjusiasm achieved a solo rank of 1400 points.
Although it wasn't comparable to Prisoner, and although he couldn't use the catchphrase of being the best amateur jungler as before, his self-esteem as a gamer had recovered quite a bit.
"Alright, alright, so what are we going to do today... I feel like I'm hitting the limit of my champion pool these days, so I'll play on an alt account instead of my main today. Agreed?"
- Me
- Lock
- Me
- Lock
"Stop with that 'Me, Lock' stuff. I need to play a variety of champions so that you guys can have fun watching too, right? Don't you think so?"
Thanks to the reorganization during the hiatus, Jjusiasm opened an alt account, regardless of the viewers' criticism.
[Jjurujjurujjur44 – D1]
"You think Diamond is too much? Hehe, everyone."
Jjusiasm smiled calmly.
"It's not about smurfing, but I have champions that I need to practice, and it's a bit of a burden to do that on my main. You understand, right?"
- BJ Jjusiasm controversy item to be added to Kingmuwiki soon
- ㄹㅇ ㅋㅋ
"Oh, what kind of controversy is it again? Just do that, and I'll really sue you."
- You're going to sue us?
- Wow... I didn't see Jjusiasm like that, but he has a terrible personality since I last saw him ㄹㅇ
- ㅇㅈㅇㅈ
- Me
- Lock
- Me
"Hey... it's a joke, everyone. Why are you saying I have a terrible personality again? Oh, a game's been found."
[Game Found!]
[Accept / Reject]
While Jjusiasm was bantering with the viewers, the ban-pick phase started.
[Master Yi]
Jjusiasm burst out laughing at the pick that came out from the opposing team.
"Wow, Master Yi? This is crossing the line way too much. Right? Daring to pick Master Yi first against me? This won't do."
Master Yi.
A champion that is rarely seen as you climb up the tiers.
Of course, there are combinations using Taric along with it depending on the meta, but it's still a rare champion that only appears occasionally in a specific meta.
Moreover, in the recent meta, Master Yi's position is absolutely the worst.
But, to pick Master Yi first like that?
It was a plea to be killed.
- ㄹㅇ ㅋㅋ
- Master Yi in Diamond
- Is he a master?
"Even if it's Diamond, picking Master Yi first is too arrogant. I'm going to teach them a lesson."
With that, Jjusiasm picked without hesitation.
It was Lee Sin, Jjusiasm's signature pick.
- Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm! Jjusiasm!
- Jjusiasm in Diamond ㄷㄷㄷ
- Smurf declaration ㅋㅋㅋ
- He's doing this here
"Watch closely. See what happens when you pick Master Yi first in Diamond."
With Jjusiasm's confident declaration, the game started.
.
.
.
"Ah, I went too far. Still, he's pretty good for Diamond."
.
.
.
"He's coming in? No, from there... ah!"
.
.
.
"Hey, what's our mid doing! If you give that kill to Yi from there... ugh!"
.
.
.
"...What a killing machine."
And, lost.
[Defeat]
The KDA of Lee Sin, played by Jjusiasm at the end of the game, was 2/9/4.
The level difference with the opposing Master Yi was 4.
It was obviously a jungle difference.
- ㅈㄱㅊㅇㅈㄱㅊㅇㅈㄱㅊㅇㅈㄱㅊㅇㅈㄱㅊㅇㅈㄱㅊㅇㅈㄱㅊㅇㅈㄱㅊㅇ
- Playing Master Yi in Diamond? Playing Master Yi in Diamond? Playing Master Yi in Diamond? Playing Master Yi in Diamond? Playing Master Yi in Diamond? Playing Master Yi in Diamond?
- Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim!
- Now he's getting beaten even in the Diamond tier ㅋㅋㅋ Damn ㅋㅋ
"Ah, no... I'm really upset. Everyone, look at that person's match history. How can that be Diamond?"
Jjusiasm was genuinely upset.
It was because the opponent's match history that he checked in the middle of the game was unusual.
100% win rate.
Even if it's in normal games, how can the ranked game win rate be 100%?
That's not all.
Although Jjusiasm's alt account is Diamond 1, it's an account that was demoted due to inactivity, so it's a high-queue account where he can match with Masters, not to mention Grandmasters.
But the opponent's tier is only Diamond 3.
The fact that a high-queue account and a Diamond 3 account can match together, even among Diamond 1 accounts, already means it's an alt account with an unbelievable MMR.
It's crossing the line way too far.
'...A super account?'
Upon closer inspection, he was also playing all positions without a specific one.
In other words, Jjusiasm was, to put it simply, getting destroyed by someone who might not even be a jungler.
'This is a pro. This has to be a pro.'
And he was definitely a very well-known player among the pros.
Of course, it could be a hidden super-rookie who just appeared, but the fact that the account was newly created was important.
Of course...
It was a completely irrelevant story to the viewers who were desperately trying to make fun of Jjusiasm.
As if to prove that fact, a literal riot was happening in the chat window.
- Next Gold
- Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim! Gold Sim!
- Golding Chusiasm
『"Don't be disappointed. It's only natural for Gold to get beaten by Diamond."』
"No, I'm saying that person isn't Diamond..."
The viewers also know.
How can a monster maintaining a 100% win rate in the Diamond tier be Diamond?
But it's just an irrelevant story.
What's important to the viewers was that they had a very good material to make fun of Jjusiasm, who had returned after a long time.
"...Everyone, it might sound like an excuse, but I'll just say one thing."
- Next Gold
- Ugly Chuyah
- Real Sim! Real Sim! Real Sim! Real Sim! Real Sim! Real Sim! Real Sim! Real Sim! Real Sim! Real Sim!
"When I was facing that person, Outlaw, I felt a similar feeling as when I was facing Prisoner. In other words..."
- Next Excuse
- Ugly Chusiasm
- Another two-week hiatus
- Why is Prisoner coming up here?
- No mention of the deceased
『"How far are you planning to fall?"』
『"Is this... 'Jjusiasm who rested for two weeks?'"』
『"Jungle Differenceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"』
Amidst the pouring chat and electronic female voice, Jjusiasm sighed deeply and said,
"Anyway, he's damn good."
* * *
Maybe it was because he was in the Diamond tier.
- Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!
- ㄹㅇ Damn trash streamers, get out, the gallery's completely ruined.
- It's annoying that the trash streamers are coming in, right? ㅇㅈ?
The nickname of Outlaw began to be subtly mentioned in the community.
It was the win rate, but it could be considered that the main reason was the fact that he happened to be matched with the alt account of Jjusiasm, a famous internet streamer.
'We meet pretty often.'
When he was Prisoner, it was normal for people in the high-elo to meet the same people, but this time, the situation was a bit different.
'I never knew that Lee Sin was Jjusiasm back then.'
It felt like his unique, aggressive play style was a bit similar.
- Did Outlaw surpass this player?
- No, but even if Jjusiasm is a streamer, he's a Challenger jungler, but he got completely crushed like that? ㅋㅋ
- Who's Outlaw? Is he a Chinese pro?
Unexpectedly, there weren't many posts connecting Outlaw and Prisoner.
It seemed that there was a slightly cautious atmosphere as the nickname Prisoner was virtually treated as a deceased person.
'It's probably not something I need to worry about.'
Anyway, he gained a certain level of recognition thanks to Jjusiasm.
That's not a bad thing for someone with the goal of becoming a pro.
"I'll stop here today."
My current tier is Diamond 3.
It couldn't be said to be very high, but since it was already an MMR where super high-elo players were matched, it wouldn't take long to actually raise the tier.
In other words, it was just a matter of number of games to reach Challenger.
It was at that moment that I was about to close the Legend of League client.

[Friend Request] [+1]
+
"Hmm."
Actually, it wasn't the first time a friend request came.
While playing the game until now, many people had sent me friend requests in order to offer duos.
But I rejected all the requests.
Because there was no need to duo.
But this friend request was something different.
First of all, the ID was like that.
[YSG TaeHyeong] [Accept / Reject]
As far as I know, there's no starting player in YSG with that kind of nickname.
Of course, there might be someone with that kind of nickname among the subs or trainees, but... I saw a different possibility rather than that.
'Accept.'
As soon as I accepted the friend request, the 1:1 chat window quickly rang as if it had been pre-copied.

[YSG TaeHyeong : Hello.]
[YSG TaeHyeong : I apologize for contacting you out of the blue, but are you by any chance Korean?]
A strange question.
But because I knew why he was asking that question, I answered without hesitation.
[Me : Yes]
[YSG TaeHyeong : Oh, I see. I'm Park Taehyeong, a coach from Y So Games. Would it be okay if we could have a constructive conversation regarding joining the team?]
The time has come.
