[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 109

Sometimes there are those kinds of people.

If you look closely, they seem like they shouldn’t be here, yet they are somehow at this tier.

3 Min Top School Honorary Member was the first person to make me think that way.

– Wow


– ????????


– The prowess of a Top supporter, lol


– Never underestimate the Top lane again


– Wow, taking down EZ, whoa whoa whoa


– Easy~


– It’s easy, for real, haha

“‘Clean Man TOP’ gifted 10 Balloons.”

“Can we replay that solo kill moment later?”

My dazed thoughts came back to me with the bright voice of the streamer.

“…Ah, yeah, sure. We can do that.”

I was curious to see it too.

Of course, strictly speaking, it’s not that strange for a late pick Irelia to solo kill a first pick Jason.

Irelia is a pick made for that purpose.

However, even so, for Irelia to get the upper hand against Jason, that would at least be after hitting level 6 and using her ultimate.

‘But, did she really manage to get a kill that early?’

And who’s the opponent?

BAN EZ.

Despite not great team performance, they are definitely one of the names mentioned when talking about the best top players in the world.

3 Min Top School Honorary Member managed to solo kill that very EZ.

‘…Well, 3 Min Top School Honorary Member isn’t a top player who can’t do things like that.’

If he really couldn’t play at all, no way he would be at this tier with that style.

The game continued.

EZ quickly Teleported back to top, but Irelia had already returned home, so he groggily took the wave that got pushed to him.

3 Min Top School Honorary Member successfully pushed the lane and returned.

‘The lane is reset.’

This means that if things stay like this, Jason, who already gave up first blood, will inevitably feel the kill pressure from the opposing Irelia.

A single kill can change the dynamics of the lane. That’s the way top lane goes.

That’s why many top players risk death to recover from a losing situation and why junglers who have already gone home scream in despair.

If they can’t do that, their presence vanishes throughout the remaining game time, leading to a long, painful session.

‘My path is messed up.’

I managed to push Rek’Sai away from top, but that was based on the assumption that EZ would let Rek’Sai’s gank slide a bit.

At this rate, EZ would be the one in danger instead.

‘Now I have to force something from bot…’

The problem was that the enemy bot was no easy opponents either.

Who’s in charge of bot lane?

It’s the Support.

And right now, the opposing Support is timidman190, who shines as my number one pick for a Support.

‘Not good.’

In this situation, all I can do is give pressure for a gank and dive.

‘It’s not possible to force something here no matter what.’

Be it a gank or a dive, both are iffy at best.

That just means their bot lane management is excellent.

Thanks to minimal movement, I managed to burn a wave of the enemy bot lane.

Although it wasn’t satisfying, at least I hadn’t wasted my movement entirely, so it wasn’t too bad.

‘So then…’

Ideally, I would have gone home to regroup by now.

That’s the textbook path.

But…

‘The balance has already fallen at top once. I need to recover.’

Junglers can’t stand it when the game starts turning unfavorable.

With the lane situation as it was, all I had left to choose was a mid gank.

And the enemy team likely knew that too.

‘Let’s hit them where it hurts.’

The place I chose was a bot dive.

The bot lane was still cautious about jungle ganks, so this dive was certain to be pretty dangerous.

‘The goal is a 2:1 trade.’

I’m not expecting to get away unscathed.

With some expected damage, I add boldness to my movements.

[⨷] [⨷]

[Outlaw(Lee Sin) has targeted YSG Jiksoo]

[Outlaw(Lee Sin) has targeted YSG Jiksoo]

Seeing the movements of our bot lane become suspicious, the enemy also sensed the dive, and the atmosphere became tense.

As expected, instead of backing off, they prepared to fight.

‘If the damage accumulates any more, it’s the same as giving away kills.’

What I aimed at was precisely that enemy psychology.

Isn’t it worth a try? A lane situation like that.

In reality, the lane was very ambiguous and this dive was bound to be risky.

‘What the hell, let’s die for this.’

The initiation began the moment Jiksoo got hit by the sonic wave.

I charged at Jiksoo, took a turn of tower aggro, and meanwhile, our Nautilus and Varus arrived.

While Leona was marking me, Nautilus boldly used his flash forward to catch Jiksoo’s feet and linked it with his grab.

– Enemy eliminated!

In an instant, the enemy ADC blew up.

But the dive wasn’t over yet.

Having taken the first turn of tower aggro, I barely slipped out of tower range with minimal health left.

Then I went back in.

Since Nautilus had grabbed Leona, I couldn’t stop there.

Of course, Leona, being a naturally strong champion, resisted, and in no time Nautilus’s health hit rock bottom.

I had anticipated that timidman190’s Leona would respond this way.

Sometimes it’s not about a perfect advantage, but doing what must be done.

And now was one of those times.

‘If Nautilus backs off, the tower aggro should fall to the ADC.’

With just a tiny mistake, at least one person could end up dead, at worst two.

It had to be delicate, and then some.

– Our team has been slain!


– Enemy eliminated!

But, our Nautilus didn’t dip out of tower aggro ping-pong and took the hits all the way to his death.

Rather than take a risk with mismatched team members in tower aggro ping-pong, he decided to take the fall himself.

‘A bit disappointing, but… good job.’

– Wow


– He just dies for us, lol


– Mother’s sacrifice, whoa


– Wasn’t it a tool used?


– This guy is top, I’m watching


– For real, lol

Bot 2:1 trade.

And besides that, since we pushed down the bot lane, the losses from top were more than compensated.

‘Nice.’

Of course, Rek’Sai wasn’t just sitting idle either.

Despite Jason getting solo killed by Irelia at top, Jason, being EZ’s Jason, kept going strong without backing down.

Rek’Sai made her appearance right at that top.

[❕] [❕] [❕]


[❗] [❗] [❗]

Retreat and danger pings flashed one after another, but Jason was already surrounded.

However, just like the bottom dive before, the lane situation was a bit vague.

It was Irelia who initiated.

Her e skill was laid down, and the psychological war between them began as Jason moved around, but Irelia calmly waited for Rek’Sai’s CC.

Boom!

As Jason was knocked airborne, Irelia’s stun landed on him.

A perfect angle for capture.

Though, one variable remained.

‘The tower aggro is on Irelia.’

Normally, tower aggro should have gone to Rek’Sai, who knocked him up first, but by a narrow margin, Irelia accidentally attacked first.

It was a situation that could easily be seen as a bug.

But thanks to that, Jason made a last-ditch effort.

– Our team has been slain!

That last-ditch effort was quite successful.

– Enemy eliminated!


– Double kill!

Irelia, for whatever reason, threw up a thumbs-up over her dead body.

『👍』

Not to be outdone, Jason similarly threw up the same expression over the cold corpse.

『🐧』

Watching that scene, I was at a loss for words.

“…”

Why on earth are they doing that?

Although our team was the one to benefit, Irelia could’ve easily avoided death if she wanted to.

– LOLLLLLLLLLLL


– Just -top-


– She dies for that, lol


– 3 Min Top School Honorary Member seems to throw whenever he streams, a true legend for real

What is this? Is there something about them I can’t comprehend?

‘…I don’t get it.’

Let’s not pay attention to top anymore.

That seems like it’d be better for my health.

I mean, I’ve had health issues before, and I should think about my body as I get older. Yeah, yeah.

“‘Jjuhsim’s Slave’ gifted 10 Balloons.”

“Junglerrrrr!”

Shut up, you punk.

Anyway… what’s important now isn’t that.

‘I need to make timidman190 acknowledge me.’

What do lane players use to judge a jungler’s skill?

There are various criteria, but surely one of the biggest is how often they appear in your lane.

‘I’m heading there now.’

It’s time for the bot 108 gank.
