[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 79

Gatekeeper (3)

If you ask which lane is the most important in Legend of League, one of the first lanes that comes up is Bot.

Of course, some might say it's obviously Mid, but a very simple arithmetic calculation comes into play here.

Why is Bot important?

Because there are two people.

Anyway, putting aside the unnecessary remarks that require debate, everyone agrees on the importance of Bot.

The fact that such a Bot laning phase has exploded means that it has a significant impact on the game.

In fact, it is right to see that the game is also half blown.

'I thought one of the ADC or Support would throw around this point... but not really.'

Usually, in the case of Bot, when they lose in the laning phase, although they may not show it outwardly, people's minds are largely divided into two.

Blaming each other,

Or blaming the Jungle.

In this case, it seemed that their minds were leaning towards the latter.

'Nadhali will be frustrated.'

While we were blowing up the Bot, Nadhali succeeded in a Top dive as if promised.

For now, the exchange itself that had to be done was achieved.

Nevertheless, considering that Top minimized the lane loss with Teleport and the importance of Bot, it was also true that our team was overwhelmingly advantageous.

The opposing Bot will be crying out for the Jungler, but the Laners need to know that.

It's not that Nadhali doesn't want to go to Bot, so she doesn't go.

It's because I've already eaten up all the vision on the Bot side and completely seized the initiative, so she can't go even if she wants to.

In other words, she's been kicked out.

Of course, even so, I had no intention of defending the opposing Jungler, Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang (Beef Thigh Marinated Crab).

Now, my feelings for Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang have faded so much that I don't even think about it, but back then, I was genuinely angry at Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang.

'Still, he's the guy who beat me 3 times, so it's heartbreaking to see him like this here.'

No matter how bad my condition was at the time, and even if I was a bit worse at Legend of League than I am now, the opponent's record remains forever.

If someone were to say now that this 'Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang' beat 'Prisoner' 3 times, would anyone believe it?

'Well, that's that.'

I had no intention of going easy on him.

After mining the turret plates to my heart's content and completing the first recall, the speed of the game started to pick up.

It was no exaggeration to say that the balance on the Bot side was completely broken, so Xin Zhao took the first Dragon too easily.

-The Blue team has slain the Dragon!

It was a Fire Dragon.

As soon as the Dragon kill message appeared, the opposing Bot naturally began to be pressured again.

And then, under the continued dive pressure, they abandoned the Tier 1 turret as if they had no choice.

The influence of Bot began to spread gradually.

The first was Mid.

Even without that, Mid's Renekton Nadhali synergy couldn't be demonstrated because Nadhali's path was forced.

No matter how advantageous Renekton is against Sylas in the laning phase, it wasn't like there was a skill difference enough to solo kill, so Mid was continuing with even farming.

At that time, when Bot came up to Mid, it must have felt like Renekton had been hit by poop while walking.

The Mid Jungle structure is Xin Zhao/Sylas vs. Nadhali/Renekton.

It's a composition where the latter has to achieve some results.

Now that that has been thwarted and the meaning of the pick has not been realized, the influence of Bot has instantly reached Mid.

Sylas headed to Bot as if he understood without needing to say anything.

Naturally, a lane swap was made.

In order to keep up with this speed, the opposing Bot also had to come up to Mid, but they inevitably had to be a step late.

During the continued Mid pressure, Renekton used his ultimate to clear the lane and survive.

Renekton without his ultimate.

This naturally leads to Rift Herald dominance.

Nadhali, with no choice but Top, once again began to put dive pressure on the Top side.

But it's a foolish choice.

The vision of our team, who already had Mid dominance, had long since occupied the upper river, and in this situation, a Top dive was not a wise choice.

'I guess he was that desperate.'

If you don't do anything, you just lose.

Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang knew that fact well, as befitting a gatekeeper with a lot of experience, and took a gamble knowing it was a reckless move.

'It's already too late though.'

Hesitation can be felt in Nadhali's movements, who felt uneasy.

Should I do this dive?

I don't think I should...

Hesitation soon leads to delays and prevents you from making the plays you need to make.

He missed the only timing.

In the meantime, Xin Zhao and I crossed the river.

From the perspective of a Top Laner, what is the most annoying opposing position to come?

Many people might cry out for the Jungler, but that's because Junglers generally appear in Top the most, and in fact, the answer is surprisingly simple.

The answer is everyone.

From the perspective of a Top Laner, all opposing Laners who visit Top are annoying.

And among them, the target that is particularly annoying is, of course, the target that shouldn't be in Top in the first place.

For example... a Support.

-Why is he here?

An amazingly honest reaction can be seen in Setu's movements.

But the surprise was only momentary.

Even though I had caught him from behind, Setu instead rushed at me.

'He's going to use his ultimate to escape backwards.'

I read the opponent's move.

At the same time, Flash flashed, and Setu, who had moved towards our team instead, used his ultimate on me, resulting in a situation where I was pulled inside.

Setu, who was flustered, belatedly tried to pull his body out, but with no ultimate left, he had no way to escape once he was caught in Kamal's ultimate.

-An enemy has been slain!

-An ally has been slain!

The moment we caught Setu, Jason, who was off guard due to Nadhali's Flash combo, died.

It was an incident that occurred while responding to a gank in a situation where his health was not managed due to the dive pressure a little while ago.

-An enemy has been slain!

-Double Kill!

-Rampage!

Jason died due to Nadhali's desperate efforts, but Xin Zhao and Kamal soon caught Nadhali.

[All][Junglerererererer(Setu) : You're reading this;;]

It seemed that the opposing Top was quite impressed with the predictive play I had shown.

In fact, the game had exploded.

When the situation becomes twisted like this, the solution from the opponent's perspective becomes surprisingly simple.

Catching an off-guard opponent,

Or overcoming it with a soul-stirring team fight,

Or gritting your teeth and holding on.

But the opponent did not choose any of those options.

Instead, they chose the easiest way.

[All][Nyamimanhahm(Nautilus) : Open]

[All][Nyamimanhahm(Nautilus) : Jungle Diff gg]

[All][Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang(Nadhali) : ?]

[All][Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang(Nadhali) : Sigh tsk tsk]

In the past, all sorts of swearing, including personal attacks, would have flown around this point, but it seemed that Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang had also aged.

'Or he might be typing in team chat.'

Considering Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang's fiery personality, that was quite likely.

Not that I cared.

And...

Even while the Rift Herald was pushing the opponent's Tier 1 and Tier 2 turrets, the surrender vote surprisingly didn't come out.

[All][IIIIlIllIIIlI(Varus) : Guys, aren't you surrendering?]

[All][MIDIA(Renekton) : Someone keeps voting no]

[All][Nyamimanhahm(Nautilus) : Looks like Nadhali lol he's lost his conscience]

I wondered who wasn't surrendering until the end, but it was none other than Nadhali who blocked us until the end.

'That's unexpected.'

A guy who would have thrown a long time ago if it were the old days is holding on to this game until the end...

'Because of Prisoner... probably not.'

No matter how much we met like enemies in the game at one time, it's only temporary.

The games were so impressive that Yukgo Gigan Jang Gejang might remember them, but even so, it was too much.

'I need to restrain myself.'

I feel like I've been a bit too self-conscious lately, perhaps because I've been drunk on 2,000 points for a while.

'If I keep doing this, I'll be kicking my blanket later.'

There are already more than a few things to kick, and I didn't want to add more.

'I guess he wants to raise his tier now.'

It was a bit strange that a guy who had been a gatekeeper for several seasons had finally come to that thought.

[Victory]

Nadhali tried to block it with all his might, but after all, one hand can't block ten hands.

The game ended in vain.

[Nyamimanhahm : Sigh]

[Nyamimanhahm : We were going to end up like this anyway, should have just surrendered and saved time]

As soon as I entered the game lobby, the members of the opposing team began to blame the Jungle endlessly.

[MIDIA : I don't understand why Nadhali Renekton didn't come to Mid]

[Junglerererererer : Don't be too hard on him, Nadhali did well]

The reason Nadhali couldn't make the Renekton Nidalee synergy work was because of Bot dominance.

If Kamal, who had disappeared from vision, had counter-ganked in Mid with Xin Zhao, the game would have literally exploded.

'Well, I don't need to defend him.'

Surprisingly, I wasn't as happy as I thought I would be.

Of course, I'm happy that I won, but it was somehow uncomfortable to see an old enemy being cursed by his teammates.

"Tsk."

I left the lobby.

A past passed me by.

*

It's Monday.

I became Master 98 points.

"Ugh..."

Is it because I didn't sleep well?

I don't feel well.
