Snipe, stream sniping, troll-ing.
As long as you’re doing internet broadcasts, these are unavoidable, and you’ll eventually have to face them.
– ???????
– What’s that?
– Did someone just insult the broadcast?
– Hey, you little brat, lol.
– Whoa…
– What was that just now?
– You know that’s true, right?
– Heeeh…
– Do it again.
– Noona, curse at me too! Noona, curse at me too! Noona, curse at me too!
– That’s a reward in the industry.
– What the hell…

– Is this… the art of pad slurring?
– Ah, lol, this level should get you banned, right? Right?
– Didn’t he delete it himself, not get banned?
– Shh.
– Heeeh… heeeh… heeeh… heeeh…
– Noona, I love you!!!!

– The manager just posted that.

– I’ll be back in a bit.
– The chat is a total mess now.
– Bye.
– Bye-bye.
– What the hell…
The chat was in shambles, but unfortunately, I couldn’t focus on that right now.
“Ha…”
– That sigh, whoa…
– Frowning face, what’s wrong, wow.
– Ridiculous…
Shut it.
Anyway, now wasn’t the time to be bickering with the audience.
Sandra’s level 1 W skill cooldown, assuming she took the cooldown runes, is 11.11 seconds.
Usually, Sandras don’t take the cooldown runes, but the opponent is deliberately trolling. This should have been expected.
‘If Lee Sin takes Q at level 1 and uses all his summoners, it’ll take him 18 seconds to solo the red without a leash.’
Moreover, since I took W as my level 1 skill, jungle speed would be even slower.
In other words, with Sandra interfering, it’s practically impossible to get the first buff monster.
‘I could take other jungle monsters if I wanted to, but…’
Even if I decide to give up on big monsters, the environment is just too harsh to grow by picking up even small ones.
‘Then…’
Where I should go was practically already determined.
– Mid Lee Sin, wow.
– Sandra is following, lol.
– To mid, lol.
– Damn lol, it’s a true party.
Up until now, even though I faced endless trolling in the lower tiers, I hadn’t lost because their trolling was incompetent.
These guys are only capable of shoving me mid.
But…
Now the situation had changed.
The one trolling now is none other than a Challenger, and of course, the way he throws is beyond typical throwing levels.
‘Moreover, it’s right to assume the troll’s purpose is different too.’
In Legends of League, trolling generally falls into two categories.
The first is trying to vent anger accumulated from the previous game on innocent teammates in the next game.
The second is pure fun.
Of course, some say dying a lot and playing aggressively is trolling, but that’s just one way of playing and it’s often ambiguous to outright call it trolling.
After all, a well-executed play among all that can eventually turn into a super play.
How could it be said that super play and throwing are only a sheet of paper apart?
In any case, both of those points ultimately lead to self-destructive behavior under the premise that you can’t win the game.
The reason I’ve won so many games despite meeting countless trolls is that they had no reason to engage in self-destructive behavior.
─Ah, I wish I had met him last game.
But right now, Sandra is thoroughly focused on causing [defeat] in this game.
You can tell just by looking.
This isn’t about venting anger or having fun.
It’s a thoroughly purposeful action.
To prove that fact, Sandra picked up a cannon minion and looked back at me again.
『ᵔᴥᵔ』
…She’s truly a little brat.
– ^O^
– So annoying, lol.
– ^O^ is the truth, hahahaha.
– It’s really funny, lol.
– But isn’t she a betting addict? I saw on the gallery that the broadcaster got posted on some Chinese betting site.
– For real?
– Are betting addicts making it on broadcasts now? True Outlaws are legendary…
Usually, when incompetent trolls troll, sometimes their actions unintentionally help their teammates.
For example, dying repeatedly mid might inadvertently allow the opponent to miss turns.
However, Sandra was not incompetent.
She knew exactly how to lead this game to a loss.
‘…It will be hard to win.’
For the first time in a long while, I genuinely thought that.
Of course, that didn’t mean I’d give up, but objectively, that was the situation presented to me.

My teammates also went into a frenzy pinging Sandra for her odd behavior, but that wouldn’t change anything.
[SCV WhiteCat(Jiksoo): Ah]
[SCV WhiteCat(Jiksoo): What the hell]
[YSG YYYSSS(Nautilus): Sigh…]
The existence of a troll goes beyond simply losing one person; it lowers the morale of the entire team.
From the start, Legends of League is a game that cannot compensate for the absence of one person, which means you inevitably have to accept defeat from the very beginning.
Because of two people on the same lane, the leveling fell behind, and we definitely missed one out of every three cannon minions.
‘I want to push the lane fast and take the jungle…’
What’s even more maddening is that Sandra wasn’t even an ant’s toenail’s worth of help in clearing the lane.
After enduring that painful laning phase, the moment I caught the recall timing and returned home…
– Our ally has been slain!
– First blood!
As if waiting for this moment, Sandra threw herself mid without even wasting a moment.
She expressed her resolve to waste not a second.
– Fast recall method, lol.
– So cruel, this is just vicious.
– Amazing.
– Average betting addict.
– Of course, trolls are different when they’re challengers.
– Is that what you’re saying right now?
– It’s pretty damn fun, to be honest, I was getting bored from winning every day.
– I agree, sometimes you need this stuff.

『“If we win this game, I’ll gift 100,000.”』
– Safe asset, lol.
– Damn, no gift.
– Even if they die, they won’t give it.
– No fun.
– Honestly, betting on how many deaths Sandra will have would be more enjoyable.
『‘GangbukLandlord’ gifted ‘10 balloons’.』
『“Guess how many deaths Sandra will have in this game and you get a thousand.”`
– Quick feedback, top-tier! Lol.
– That’s generous, lol.
– If I had to guess, around 30 deaths, right?
– No, no, just watching Sandra seems like she’s focused more on stopping allies from growing than just dying; that’s worse.
“…13 deaths.”
– Oh, the broadcaster is joking, lol.
– You have to earn money.
– Isn’t everyone just trying to live?
– Noona, curse at me again! Noona, curse at me again! Noona, curse at me again!
“…Shut it.”
– Oh.
– Whoa…
– To shut it is the truth, lol.
“Hey, who told you to shut it…”
– Just now.
– For real, lol.
– Do it again! Do it again! Do it again! Do it again! Do it again! Do it again! Do it again! Do it again! Do it again!
– Whoa, whoa, whoa!
“…”
Thinking I couldn’t win this game, at some point, the chat began to catch my eye more than the game screen.
‘This shouldn’t be.‘
I know it’s a tough game.
But I should at least try my best before giving up.
I refocused on the game.
.
.
.
Game time had reached 40 minutes.
What I thought would definitely be a loss had somehow slightly turned into a 5% win probability from an initial 0%.
Considering this game began from a truly despairing situation, it was truly a triumph of the human spirit.
Currently, the situation was at the opponent’s fourth dragon timing.
Not just any fourth dragon, but a crucial team fight with the ocean dragon soul at stake, so if we lose this dragon, it would be safe to say victory is out of reach.
We can win.
Just as I had that moment of hope…
– Our ally has been slain!
– First blood!
As if it had been anticipated, Kamal, one of our key picks, jumped in and was instantly obliterated.
It was obvious he threw.
– ????
– Why did he go in?
– What’s that?
The audience erupted in confusion, and from above Kamal’s fallen body, an emotional expression sprang forth that I recognized from somewhere.
『˙ ͜ʟ˙』
And in response, Sandra.
『ᵔᴥᵔ』
Only then did I understand.
– Hey, looking back, didn’t Kamal and Sandra duo together before?
– For real?
– Damn, lol.
There wasn’t just one troll in this game.
