I Became a Member of My Favorite Group! - Chapter 242
I waited for the guild, but the scream time I hadn’t anticipated arrived.
As scheduled, all the members gathered in the Discord room.
Originally, I should have been the first to enter…
“Woo… Ugh, I’m scared to go in….”
– Hahahahahahaha
– Already scared of getting killed by Koits at the birthday party, wwww
– Who told you to act up, ah haha
– You’re the one who got tagged in the black history… with evil or something, bu-bu-you!
Ral didn’t tag me!
Of course, it was true that Ral tagged me for drinking whiskey!
But I wouldn’t have expected such things to happen afterwards!
I was at the brink of bursting in a cherry’s outfit.
However, with my current state, there was nothing I could do.
In the first place, I couldn’t cancel the scream that was already scheduled on the matchmaker’s side.
Ding—
“Ah, are you there….”
Reluctantly entering the Discord room, I cautiously greeted everyone.
Then, without hesitation, the members welcomed me with loud chatter.
“Lulu, welcome! Yesterday, I thought you were ascending to the heavens!”
“Lulu, you were really cute yesterday. I should have taken more screenshots.”
“Wow, I really fell for it. Lulu!”
“Lulu, can you be this cute alone?!”
“Ugh….”
– Sounds like they waited for getting killed, hahahahaha
– The members’ warmth is really heartwarming
– After the drunk debate yesterday, it feels like we’ve definitely become closer, haha
– In the meantime, Jeong Byeong seems to have talked to Lulu, it looks so much better
I don’t know if this can be called a welcome, but okay.
Anyway, with the continuing words of the members, I couldn’t resist at all.
After all, it was them holding the reins.
“Uh, I’m sorry about yesterday… I just saw the clips of the members from earlier, and it seems like I said too many harsh things….”
“No, it’s not! Lulu! You said what you needed to say!”
“That’s right. Hearing Lulu made me feel like I got hit on the head.”
“To be honest, I was cheering for you, hmmm.”
“Lulu! Because of what you said, I also bumped my head in the solo match, right? Did well, yeah?”
W-Wait, am I supposed to say that was good?
But since Jeong Byeong’s original playstyle was quite passive.
The fact that I could at least bump heads with him is good news, I think.
According to Cherry, I heard the Bandit also practiced all day long.
Jung Jin also only practiced how to roam during the practice match.
Nyang-ta said she learned something about vision control from the former pro streamer before a circuit.
Hmm, although it was shocking therapy.
But since the results were good, it’s alright.
“Then, can we prepare for the scream now?”
“Yes, we’ve set up the room, so you can come in, Lulu.”
“We’ve even warmed the room for you, Lulu!”
“Dad, those guys should have prepared the room beforehand.”
“Ugh… ah, no. Please don’t do that.”
– Lulu’s stumbling, haha
– It’s a royal welcome but the rest are just kids, haha
– Ah, haha, the butcher’s mind seems well secured
Using Nyang-ta’s words, I hurriedly entered the room.
Just then, as Ral came in, the other members began to enter as well.
Thank goodness. It seems like the opposing members didn’t wait either.
“Hey, everyone knows, right? If you feel like you’re not playing well today, just say it on the spot, okay?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Ah, if this continues, the jungle will be too disadvantaged…?”
“If you’re uneasy, just move well!”
“Everyone, fighting…!”
With Nyang-ta’s loud new sound, the members cheered each other on, and after a while, the first scream began after the drunk debate was finished.
＊＊＊＊＊
I was somewhat confident in facing “Big Execution” in the scream against “Gu-baek-i and Yu-chal-wak.”
The scream win rate was good, and I had seen the opposing team struggling many times.
Most importantly, in terms of champion picks and practical aspects, it was clear that this team had a higher average across the board.
Especially since the top avoided tanks, and with the jungle’s lack of tank proficiency, there were often times when the overall completion of their composition dropped.
In contrast, teams like “Big Execution” tended to focus on building strong overall compositions.
I was confident that we would have the upper hand by the pick stage itself.
“Hey! Someone just picked a Vayne?”
“What? Are they seriously picking Vayne? The Bandit?”
“This is surprising. They always played only lane-centric champions when picking.”
However, right from the first opposing pick, it felt strange.
Vayne.
It can be considered a counter to the tanky champions in the top lane.
But since the basic structure usually places her in a position where she receives a lot of damage from the opposing champions, I never thought a Bandit would pick that.
“Can she still play Lunalie like this?”
“Oh, yes. Anyway, their jungle isn’t tanky.”
“Then let’s go Lunalie. After all, our win rate on the champions is high, so it would be good to build it around mid-game. The lane is also strong.”
“Let’s just go Lunalie.”
But without panicking too much, our team also continued to make confident picks.
Those picks were Lucian and Nari.
Usually known as the Lunalie composition, this team has great synergy that makes them popular even at the pro level.
After that, the pick phase itself flowed rather smoothly.
Team “Gu-baek-i and Yu-chal-wak” chose Vayne, Aatrox, and Oriana.
Team “Big Execution” picked Aatrox, Sejuani, Lucian, and Nari.
“There’s a lack of tankiness in the opposing composition?”
“Right. I feel like we’ll win if we reach late game.”
– What’s that, hahaha
– A two-damage composition
– It seems like a strong champion should come out soon, right?
The “Big Execution” team half-predicted our victory as soon as they saw the opposing composition.
And in the situation where only the last pick of the opponent remained…
“Uh?!”
“Crazy, it’s Kog’Maw!”
– Wow, hahahahaha
– They’re picking Kog’Maw, haha
– How long has it been since I’ve seen that, hahahaha
The “Gu-baek-i and Yu-chal-wak” team had drawn out none other than Kog’Maw.
This is a composition that is sometimes used as a counter pick in the pro scene for Lunalie.
Kog’Maw itself has no means of escape, making it difficult to engage.
Most importantly, as a hyper-scaling champion, it heavily relies on pilot skills.
Furthermore, the “Gu-baek-i and Yu-chal-wak” team is notorious for their weak champion picks.
That such a team would pull out such a skill-based composition.
Everyone could not help but be astonished.
Meanwhile, in the Discord of the “Gu-baek-i and Yu-chal-wak” team…
“Hey, I’ll be fine with Kog’Maw. Hyung, don’t let me down.”
“If a dive comes, I’m going to burst someone’s head with these rubber gloves, don’t worry.”
“Let’s see our princess shine once!”
“Let’s do the Princess Maker meta!”
“When it comes to team fights, we’ll have a much easier time! Jeong Byeong, give it your all!”
While encouraging each other, they even finished strategy discussions before the match had even started.
Just as the match began.
In the initial laning phase, a rather standard farming match continued.
When the ADC reached level 6, the Bandit, who was observing the opponent’s movements, shouted urgently.
“Yo, looks like the opposing jungle is on top. The opposing top is in a terrible spot!”
“Then we should take this chance to clean out the jungle. They’ve roamed to the other side and should now be taking the top.”
“Jeong Byeong, let’s push ahead. We have the advantage since the enemy jungler is on the opposite side.”
“Okay!”
“I’m going to push this and transition to the bot side! We’ll take them down!”
– Oh
– Sounds good
– The power of such drunk debates?
– The team has dramatically changed in just a day, haha
When the rest of the members echoed their agreement, the movements for this turn were quickly decided.
Upon hearing the order, Jeong Byeong, receiving buffs, stepped forward and began to unleash poison darts.
The viewers watched in awe, closely following the situation.
“Uh, uh…?! Hey, they’re hitting hard! Let’s pull back! If we miss, we lose!”
“Uh, but it seems like the lane is too pushed, we might be in big trouble? Whoa! They activated Ghost!”
Meanwhile, the “Big Execution” team sensed something was amiss.
The opposing ADC, who had been playing rather defensively, suddenly started to play aggressively, activating Ghost and pushing forward.
– Tsunami!
Left with no choice, Nari used her ultimate to prevent the oncoming enemies and—
Splat!
As if it were anticipated, Jeong Byeong effortlessly jumped over it with Flash.
“Use your ult! Don’t get caught!”
“This way, Oriana might also get sucked in! Make sure to recognize!”
“Ugh…!”
As the distance closed, both Lucian and Nari had no choice but to use their Flashes.
– Throw it!
“Uh…?!”
Suddenly, an emotionless mechanical voice was heard.
And two orbs flew accurately toward the two champions, erupting in a white light with a shockwave that sucked the two champions to the center.
Following that, Kog’Maw’s finishing move exploded…
– They were taken down.
– Double k*ll!
The opposing Kog’Maw took home two kills and returned unworried.
“Crazy, how did Oriana jump so fast?!”
“Seems like she was coming in since the fight early on. Wow, the timing is art.”
Truly smooth coordination between the two champions drew gasps from the members.
“Yes, double k*ll!”
“This is the epic moment! You know?!”
“That’s epic moment material, crazy…! Wow! Was it Jeong Byeong? The synergy was amazing!”
“Hey, I think we had great synergy this time!”
– Wow, this was awesome!
– The layout from the start was outstanding!
– Is that really the “Gu-baek-i and Yu-chal-wak” team that seemed weak? My heart is racing…
– Wow, but Jeong Byeong’s Flash play was indeed amazing, it feels like the team has changed.
– Nyang-ta’s call was good; even if it was a bit late on the Flash timing, we could still catch them.
Cheering resounded from the opposing team “Gu-baek-i and Yu-chal-wak”.
Starting with that double k*ll, the “Gu-baek-i and Yu-chal-wak” team began to widen the difference.
With a three-damage composition added with Kog’Maw, otherwise known as a scaling composition, they won team fights through Kog’Maw’s growth and ended the first scream post-drunk debate with a clean victory.
