[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 123

Over the past week, Red TV was suddenly hit by a massive matchup, throwing the whole vibe into a completely different territory.

The scene of Legends of League, which seemed to be heading towards an Outlaw’s solo dominance, expanded significantly, and the audience numbers surged, centered around Outlaw and Jjuhsim.

Can you believe that, even during the tournament period, the viewership for Outlaw and Jjuhsim’s scrim was higher than the tournament broadcast? It really shows how much attention is focused on the Outlaw vs. Jjuhsim matchup right now.

Given the situation, there’s a lot more chatter in the community about the Outlaw and Jjuhsim match than about the tournament itself.

-To be honest, the tournament is kinda boring these days, but thanks to the Galaxy Master, it’s super fun, right?

-For real, this is better than seeing the same picks and setups all the time, lol

-But aren’t BOQ’s games a bit entertaining? I keep up with their matches.

-Yup!

If it were me, I would’ve just sued Jjuhsim instead of explaining, keeping it clean, don’t you agree?

────────

-That’s true, the response is a bit strange.

-He probably let it slide.

-There are still idiots who can’t see through this, lol It’s obviously staged, so they can’t sue, you fools, lol This is all a setup between Outlaw and Jjuhsim.

-Feels too convenient, honestly. Since that setup, Red TV’s audience has skyrocketed.

-The conspiracy theorists are back, someone shut them up.

-You guys need to chill and just watch the show.

I’m rewatching the Jjuhsim targeting video, and the more I watch, the weirder it gets. What exactly do they want the Galaxy Master to clarify?

────────

-That’s just a bunch of baseless rumors, honestly. Sure, a 100% win rate sounds fishy, but trying to label the person who played it as a cheater is even more ridiculous, lol.

-If you could get a 100% win rate using cheats, you’d do it yourself, right? This is so absurd.

-Considering YSG is remaining quiet, doesn’t that suggest there’s no issue? Why is that jerk trying to stir up drama?

-Jjuhsim has always been a baseless dramastirrer; it’s crazy that people still believe that video!

-Yep, the believers are a dime a dozen. Outlaw didn’t clarify anything—half the nation supports Jjuhsim.

-No, Jjuhsim’s mom is getting caught.

-Jjuhsim’s mom is so pathetic, can’t she just back off instead of ruining the galaxy?

-While I’m not fond of Outlaw dragging the galaxy into a mess, Jjuhsim really is something else. That idiot needs to be banned.

Since the Galaxy Master has been continuously talked about regarding the cheating, I decided to dig in myself, yep.

Just for reference, GameGood4148 is the Galaxy Master.

They won against the complete lineup of SY, lol.

By the logic of Jjuhsim’s mom, isn’t SY also cheating? Can they handle that?

────────

-?

-What is this?

-Where on earth did you find this?

-This is insane, lol.

-I can’t believe the complete lineup of SY got taken in by the Galaxy Master, and yet they managed to win, damn, lol.

-Did they drag SY along? Seriously, what’s going on here? lol

-Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!

-But isn’t it weird that the mid was Nightmare? Seems suspicious for those two to run into each other by chance.

-At this point, it’s reminiscent of the resurrection of the Prisoner, damn, can this be real?

-That face and that talent? Oh snap.

-God is dead, God is dead, God is dead, God is dead, God is dead, God is dead, God is dead, God is dead.

-Looking at both histories, it does seem like they randomly collided while grinding—though that might be pushing it a bit, lol.

-Sis, I’m dying! Sis, I’m dying! Sis, I’m dying! Sis, I’m dying! Sis, I’m dying! Sis, I’m dying! Sis, I’m dying! Sis, I’m dying!

-I’m a Rainbow fan, but where does Jjuhsim live?

-What the heck, lol is this… inviting me?

-Jjuhsim, who was scratching his… in his room, is shocked, lol.

-Jjuhsim is done for, lol.

Why the heck am I more excited about this than the tournament, damn, lol.

────────

-For real, lol.

-Honestly, I hope Jjuhsim gets wrecked, you know? Yup? Yup.

-Seeing the differences in team members, Outlaw’s team has like some god-tier players, don’t these streamers realize?

-They’re just fools, lol. If it were me, I’d latch onto Outlaw’s team and suck them dry of their skill.

-For real, lol.

-If Jjuhsim loses, he’ll probably get death threats from the casuals.

-No, isn’t that already happening?

+

Jjuhsim, who was casually lurking in the community, narrowed his eyes.

‘I thought I could just wing it… This backlash is stronger than I anticipated.’

Until now, targeting like this usually concluded in Jjuhsim’s victory.

Not that Jjuhsim was always right, rather, even if he was wrong, it often worked to his advantage in the end.

The reason why, despite many people harboring resentment towards Jjuhsim, his broadcasts and YouTube channel were still thriving.

However…

Public sentiment was far more favorable towards Outlaw than expected.

Or to be precise, Jjuhsim’s notorious reputation had also caused some backlash.

‘Was I too hasty?’

No… Even if I regret it now, it’s too late. Furthermore, if Jjuhsim hadn’t targeted Outlaw, public sentiment would have tilted even more in favor of Outlaw.

Searching the Legends of League scene, or even the entire internet broadcast scene, Outlaw’s presence was that special.

‘I can’t afford to lose.’

Given the circumstances, the 5:5 match, which initially felt like a casual affair, now carried a significantly different weight.

If he lost here, everything that he had built up would explode, causing a massive backlash.

Moreover, since Jjuhsim was the one who first posted the targeting video, the intensity of the backlash was something he couldn’t even begin to imagine.

‘Well, it’s not a matchup I can afford to lose.’

Jjuhsim assessed the strengths of both his own team and the opposing team.

──────────────


[ TEAM : OUTLAW ]

──────────────


Top – Sleepy Beaver =ㅅ= (Master)

Jungle – Outlaw111 (Challenger)

Mid – TheReturnedGetBack (Master)

ADC – BJNilili (Diamond 1)

Support – GankGankGankGankGankGank (Grandmaster)

──────────────

──────────────


[ TEAM : JJUSHIM ]

──────────────


Top – BJManSulu (Challenger)

Jungle – Jjuhsim (Challenger)

Mid – Router (Challenger)

ADC – OsunBeom0 (Challenger)

Support – Diabolical_ (Challenger)

──────────────

An overwhelming difference in power.

Especially in the bot lane, although GankGankGankGankGankGank may seem to be a Grandmaster, his actual role was a jungler.

Thus, viewing the opposing bot duo as a Diamond ADC and a Grandmaster or below support makes more sense.

A Diamond ADC and Grandmaster jungler bot duo against a Challenger bot duo.

There wasn’t really any point in examining it further.

‘And… I heard there wasn’t much practice going on?’

Outlaw’s team was confirmed a mere two days prior.

In contrast, Jjuhsim’s established team had been rigorously training for a week.

In reality, Jjuhsim, despite being from a lower league team, had even scrimmed against some teams in the second division and managed a commendable 2 wins, 3 losses record.

Regardless that the second division team might be from the bottom, they put up a decent fight against professional teams.

‘This is as good as a decided game.’

Of course, that wasn’t to say there weren’t any concerns.

Once upon a time, Outlaw managed to win against the SY complete lineup while dragging some noobs.

Even if SY didn’t have its main position, it was still reasonable to believe that they had excellent capabilities against relatively low tiers.

‘No room for complacency.’

Finishing his thoughts, Jjuhsim launched the voice messaging app.

Today was the day of the showdown, and consequently, team members were already there and waiting.

“Hey, is everyone here?”

[“Jjuhiru”]

[“Hyung, you’re here?”]

[“How can the team leader be the last one to arrive? We’ve been waiting a while.”]

“Ahaha, I’m sorry. Are you all ready?”

[“Of course.”]

[“Let’s just start already.”]

[“Go go.”]

There wasn’t any dedicated commentary team set up.

Doing so would cause the attention of viewers, which they had carefully gathered, to scatter elsewhere.

‘Let’s see…’

[Current Viewers: 39,742]

And since Outlaw had roughly 60,000 viewers, considering all the other minor streamers combined, well over a hundred thousand viewers would gather if they factored in overlapping audiences.

-OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

-Is this view count real?

-How come this is getting more viewers than the tournament? Lol.

-This is bound to be hilarious.

-Must be a Red Cup moment, damn, lol.

‘It’s disappointing that Outlaw seems to have become the main character, but it can’t be helped.’

Playing the villain role is still a role.

Just reaching this point was already a substantial achievement.

“So, I’ll check in with the other team now.”

[“Okay!”]

Jjuhsim promptly entered the voice chat room where Outlaw was.

“Ah, hello. Is everyone ready?”

As expected, when Jjuhsim barged into the opposing voice chat, a cold atmosphere greeted him.

[“Yes. We’re ready.”]

Hearing Outlaw’s voice after a long time felt a bit worn down.

Although it was somewhat disheartening for a guy, it strangely worked to Jjuhsim’s benefit.

“Ah, I see. Then, let’s get going. And remember, we’re freezing the comments, right?”

[“Yes.”]

“Okay.”

Jjuhsim wasn’t keen on dragging the conversation out anyway, so that was the end of it.

“They said they’re ready. We’re starting right away. So the chat will open now.”

-What’s this??

-See you later.

-Jjuh–ba.

-Bye bye bye bye bye.

-Hold your breath.

-Suck!

-[The chat has been frozen.]

As previously mentioned, since there wasn’t a commentary crew involved, the 5:5 match between Outlaw and Jjuhsim kicked off immediately.

[Game Start]

Jjuhsim’s team was at the bottom side.

They had first pick.

Based on previous observations, limiting Outlaw’s champion pool wouldn’t be particularly meaningful.

Thus, to effectively utilize ban cards, it made sense to strike at the opponent’s weaknesses.

[Jiksoo]

[Ash]

Targeting relatively easier champions within the pool of ADC champions that a Diamond 1 ADC could use, considering the opponent’s vulnerabilities.

On the contrary, the opponent’s bans included more standard picks like Elise and Akali.

[Elise]

[Akalin]

[Sylas]

“Lee Sin’s available? Give me Lee Sin.”

[“Oh. Really?”]

“You’re letting Lee Sin through?”

Then it was the turn of the opposing team to pick.

[Master Yi]

[Teemo]

Jjuhsim frowned at the unexpected picks.

“Master Yi and Teemo? That’s crossing the line.”

Master Yi and Teemo.

A sometimes silly combination that emerges from nowhere, capable of wreaking havoc that can flip patch notes upside down.

However, due to current meta changes, shoving the mid-lane into jungle positions had become impossible, effectively sidelining the strategy.

[“Master Yi and Teemo? Are they for real?”]

[“Isn’t that a mistake?”]

Seeing his team’s panicked expressions, Jjuhsim quickly interjected.

“So what are we gonna grab? Yi is going jungle, and Teemo’s still a wildcard.”

In the past, it would have been a given that Teemo would be mid, but the current jungle Yi mid Teemo combo had fallen out of favor. It wasn’t guaranteed that they weren’t going for some unexpected variation.

[“Hmm, Sylas is banned and…”]

Possibly due to the unexpected pick, some confusion arose within the team.

Nevertheless, no one anticipated the opponent pulling off a Yi and Teemo combo in this meta.

“How about bringing Lee Sin in? I think CC is solid against a Yi and Teemo combo.”

[“Hmm… not bad. Let’s go.”]

[Lee Sin]

“Now, for the rest…”

Looking for a counter to the Master Yi and Teemo setup…

[“What about top Mordekaiser?”]

“Well, he’s gonna lose power if they get Mercurial.”

Most of all, Mordekaiser wasn’t a good champion in the current meta.

No… But it’s also true that it could apply to the Yi and Teemo combo as well, so was it really an issue?

[“It could be easier with Mercurial.”]

“Hmm, then let’s do it.”

Though Jjuhsim would have preferred to ponder a bit longer to make the best picks, unfortunately, time was running out.

[Mordekaiser]

Thus, his team had picked three champions.

And once again, the opponent made their choices with barely a moment’s hesitation.

Clearly, they had prepared their picks in advance.

[Yuumi]

The so-called parasite support.

As dubious as it sounds, this support’s abilities are certainly not to be underestimated.

[“What’s going on here?”]

Something felt amiss.
