I Became a Member of My Favorite Group! - Chapter 238

After that, it was nothing short of Da-jeong’s slaughter show.

After securing kills and achieving explosive growth, she gained the upper hand in split-push situations.

Even the relatively well-fed opponent, Gnar, was solo-killed twice in the side lane, securing a smooth victory.

And in the following second set, Sanchaekkun’s carry show unfolded.

When he confidently declared he’d play top Kha’Zix and asked them to trust him, Da-jeong accepted it and picked Galio to empower Kha’Zix, completing the so-called “Kha-Gal” combo and shattering the enemy’s morale.

『And with this overwhelming force, the first match of the opening round goes to “Lulu and the Auction Leftovers”!』

『Wow, that was truly amazing. Lulu’s performance in the first set was outstanding, of course, but her Galio in the second set was also incredibly supportive, wasn’t it?』

『Exactly! A truly skilled player excels at both carry and supportive picks. In that sense, Lulu showed us something extraordinary today!』

• She popped off lolololol
• Lulu-chan hard-carried, fr
• LOL God Lulu! LOL God Lulu!
• Just shut up and praise her already lololol
• How far did you foresee this… the great Empire

As the match ended and praise poured in from commentators and viewers alike, the overall Player of the Match (POM) for the day was finally announced.

『Who will today’s POM be? Ah, as expected—Lulu!』

『Honestly, she deserves it. After watching that, not giving it to her would’ve been absurd.』

• Fr lol
• If they didn’t give it to her, their eyes are just for decoration lol
• She popped off in Set 2 too, but Set 1 was a one-woman show fr
• Honestly, after that 2v1 outplay, POM was locked in.
• Sanchaekkun did well in Set 2, but this was Lulu’s show lol

The POM was, of course, Da-jeong.

While Sanchaekkun’s performance could’ve sparked some debate, both commentators and viewers unanimously accepted the decision—proof of how dominant Da-jeong’s plays had been.

『Alright. Let’s proceed with the POM interview. Lulu, can you hear us?』

“Ah, hello…! I’m Lulu from Blue LUV, playing mid for ‘Lulu and the Auction Leftovers.'”

『Oh my, you sound really nervous! Are you okay?』

“Y-yes… I’m fine. It’s just a little nerve-wracking knowing so many people are watching.”

• LMAOOOOOO
• This clumsy axolotl lololol
• A beast in-game but a shrinking axolotl in real life lol
• The gap moe is unreal lol

As the POM interview began and Da-jeong’s voice came through, viewers couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

In-game, she’d been an unstoppable force, but now she was fidgeting like a kindergartener on stage for the first time.

『You showed incredible performance today. Picking Irelia in Set 1 was especially surprising—was that a pre-planned strategy from scrims?』

“W-well, yes. I usually prefer scaling teamfight mages, but our coach said he wanted to see me play a selfish split-pusher since I’m good at it. I’d tried it in solo queue, so I gave it a shot.”

『Oho, so Coach Glow’s foresight brought this victory!』

• KYAAAAAAAAAAA
• As expected from a Worlds winner lololol
• First the great Empire, now Glow—their judgment is insane.
• Lulu-chan’s sidelane is cracked fr

When viewers learned the pick wasn’t her idea but the coach’s, they praised Glow’s strategic genius. Da-jeong’s Irelia had weakened the enemy Gnar’s split-push, making the win easier.

『Given the team’s name, “Lulu and the Auction Leftovers,” many initially called you underdogs. What are your thoughts on that?』

“I’m not sure about ‘underdogs’… Everyone’s so good. If I improve a bit more, we’ll definitely be seen as a championship contender.”

『Wow, what a statement. You’ve carried hard, but you’re still hungry—ready to show even more, right?』

“Huh? N-no, that’s not what I meant…?!”

• LMAOOOOOO
• Her flustered reaction is adorable lol
• Interview textbook fr
• They’re bullying the axolotl and it’s hilarious lol
• Now I get why the Black Moon Squad leader said she lives to tease Lulu-chan lololol

As the interview neared its end, the commentators tossed a standard question:

『When did you first sense victory in Set 1?』

“Um… I didn’t really ‘sense’ victory, but there was a moment I knew I could control the lane.”

『Oh? When was that?』

“When Han Du-chi used his Q on the first mid wave. I thought, ‘Ah, I can work with this.’”

『Wait… that’s it?』

• ?
• What does that mean?
• Is she talking about when Orianna Q’d the wave at level 1?
• Is she a clairvoyant or something?

As confusion spread, Da-jeong explained:

“Well… Irelia lacks ranged farming tools, so if the enemy pushes, it’s uncomfortable. I wanted to freeze, but Du-chi pushed it for me. That set up a good trade angle at level 3.”

『So Han Du-chi lost lane off one misplaced Q?』

“N-not entirely, but… it definitely made things harder for him. I play Orianna too, so I know how awkward that position is.”

『Incredible. Han Du-chi must be speechless watching this.』

• LMAOOOOOO
• She’s insane lololol
• Losing lane because of one level 1 skill lol
• No wonder the great Empire praised her.
• Her game theory is razor-sharp.

With everyone marveling at her analysis, the interview concluded.

Da-jeong returned to Discord to discuss the match with her team. The excitement was so intense that the chat remained lively long after her return.

『Wow, I was so nervous, but we won way smoother than I expected!』

『Right? Lulu just grabbed them by the collar and hard-carried.』

“N-no, Sanchaekkun popped off in Set 2, and bot lane’s early win helped too!”

『Khh, getting praised by Lulu herself… I’ll play this clip at my funeral.』

『Ehehe, bot lane did well! Nyangtamon hit almost every grab.』

• LMAOOOOOO
• True cherry fanatics lol
• RIP to the family at that funeral lol
• Bot lane was legit tho
• Nyangtamon’s grabs were magnetic lol
• Jeongjin-nam’s pathing was clutch too

The team’s family-like atmosphere shone as they praised each other. Though they wanted to keep playing, schedules forced them to disband for the day.

『Great work today, everyone. See you at tomorrow’s scrims.』

『Good job!』

『Well done, everyone.』

『Thanks for the hard work!』

After leaving, Da-jeong immediately joined another Discord—Blue LUV’s, where members had gathered early to celebrate her victory.

“I’m back!”

• WB
• Like a daughter returning home lol
• The effort in her voice is adorable lol

As Da-jeong announced her return, a flood of congratulations followed.

『Our youngest, you worked hard!』

『Lulu-chan, you were amazing! I screamed when you 1v2’d mid.』

『I don’t even know League, but you looked so cool.

『You were the best Lulu.』

“Hehe…! Thank youuu.”

Overwhelmed by their heartfelt praise, Da-jeong giggled and squirmed, unable to hide her joy.

After all, nothing made her happier than the sincere praise of her beloved members.
