[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 173

The top is good to go for now…

‘That leaves two.’

ShowMeTheAgal Kim Jae-min.


Timid Person 190 Kim Ji-hoon.

In a way, you could say they were the troublemakers of our team.

A bottom duo full of troublemakers… now that’s some destined partnership.

“Does anyone have anything else to add?”

“No.”

“Yeah.”

sigh…

Well, at least they’re good at responding.

“I need to actually work out now, so I’m getting up.”

“Wait, we haven’t even settled on a nickname—”

“I’ll think about it while exercising.”

And just like that, Kim Ji-hoon got up as though he was fleeing.

I pushed him a little, but since there was still some time left before the qualifiers, I had no more excuse to hold him back.

“…Then let’s come up with it by the end of this week.”

“Okay.”

That wrapped up the nickname discussion for now.

It seemed everyone needed more time to think.

“Do you need until the end of the week too?”

“Hmm, I thought about it, and I’ll just use my name. Jae-min.”

“…Is that really what you’ve settled on? You can think more if you want. We have that much time.”

“Yeah. I just wanted my name to be part of the nickname.”

“Then let’s go with that.”

There are plenty of pros who use their own names for their nicknames.

It could be seen as a rather ordinary nickname, but it was still a hundred times better than something like Prince Jae-min or Jae-min Prince.

‘Probably less embarrassing than a spoon.’

OLZ’s ADC, Spoon…

Somehow, that might not be bad.

“Are you going to change it right away?”

“Yeah, because preparing for pro with my current name… seems like it might not go well later.”

So he did know what he was doing…

“Why? What makes you say that?”

“I’m just impressed.”

“…Impressed by what?”

“The fact that you can actually think.”

“……”

Kim Jae-min made a sulky face before plopping back down and entering the store to buy a name change ticket.

“Oh, I typed it wrong.”

Originally, Kim Jae-min’s nickname should have been OLZ Jaemin, named after him.

But due to his mistake, he accidentally typed an extra ‘m,’ resulting in this nickname instead.

-OLZ Jaemmin (Jaem-min).

And so, Jaem-min appeared in OLZ.

As the community lay quiet, rumors about OLZ began to stir.

It all started with a post that was uploaded one day.

– Breaking News) BOQ officially says OLZ scrims are insane.

– What if there’s no proof?

– Just hype, lol.

– Why would anyone bother with a newly formed team for scrims? Who do you think will play with them?

– Outlaws might be willing to, haha.

– Outlaws, just shut up.

– Why bother with rumors about regular folks who aren’t even pros?

– Isn’t Outlaw a regular, you idiot?

– Well, not exactly regular.

– Honestly, there might be more Outlaw fans than Rainbow fans at this point, don’t you think? Right?


– Next up, sweet buffalo.

At first, it was treated like just another attention-seeking post, like countless others floating around the community.

Since this community is littered with rumors, the sentiment of “No proof? Then what?” was rampant.

Then one post arrived.

To be exact, it shared content from a recent personal broadcast by the BOQ Captain.

BOQ Captain’s Broadcast Transcript)

“By the way, while we’re on the topic of Outlaw, we scrimmed with that team, OLZ. You know, Outlaw’s team.

Captain: Honestly, at first, I underestimated them a bit. But when the game started, wow… it was no joke.

Captain: What was the result, you ask? Yeah, I can’t reveal that. But I’ll say this… I felt a wall. The bottom lane was somewhat manageable, but… nah, it still didn’t work out.

Captain: How was Outlaw? What do you mean? You know how good he is. But honestly, it was the other teammates that surprised me more, especially the top.

Captain: How was the top, you ask?

Captain: Well… I often ran into OLZ’s top in solo queue, you know? But back then, he would just keep dying all the time, whether it was in a team or solo. So I never thought he was a threat.

Captain: But when Outlaw came in as jungler… it was definitely different. I thought he would just keep flopping as usual, but the jungler was always there. What, are we supposed to fight 2v2 in our jungle? That would just be a disaster. If he doesn’t go top, it’s like a highway opened up… Honestly, if he’s dying in every game yet still has challenger points, his skill must be proven. So the synergy is just off the charts.

Captain: Anyway, with that top and jungle pressure, the mid was… I honestly thought it was a bummer that Getback retired, but seeing him back like this… so maybe it’s ‘Returned Getback?’ Anyway, nice to have him back.

Captain: Am I friendly with Getback? No, who’s that? (laughs) Just kidding, we’re pretty close—if it’s scrims, Getback took the lead.

Captain: Do I think OLZ will get promoted? Excuse me? We were third in the last season, okay? Don’t underestimate us. We’ve won too.

(After which, the chat exploded, and the chat was turned off.)

Captain: Anyway, I’m really looking forward to OLZ this time. Fighting! We’ll support you.”

Summary: This time BOQ scrimmed with OLZ, and while he can’t share detailed results, he confirmed feeling a wall.

Especially, the top-jungle synergy was insane, and the bottom lane was average (by the way, ADC tier was D1).

Is this still just rumor, you fools?

────────

– Wait, did they actually take BOQ down?

– Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!

– There is a team that lost to another team that got wrecked in scrims by a team that hasn’t even made it to the second division?

– Those who were quiet are suddenly shocked, lol.

– Oh, and Rainbow won~~~

– Seriously, at this point, promotion to the second division is just a joke, right? Are we really going to see them in the first division next year?

– dkdgkdgkdkd

– I’m dying! I’m dying! I’m dying! I’m dying! I’m dying! I’m dying! I’m dying! I’m dying! I’m dying! I’m dying!

– If this continues, they’re going to get promoted to the first division and go to Red Cup. That would be super fun!

– It really seems possible. Winning is tough, though.

– I see them winning it all.

– We’ve got a team that hasn’t even debuted yet, and these guys are already acting like they’ll make a grand exit, lol. They’ll probably get kicked out in the qualifiers and get roasted.

– nmw.

Rumors about Outlaw and OLZ were rampant.

– Breaking) OLZ, SY scrims crush!

– Breaking) OLZ, second division promotion!

– Breaking) OLZ, Red Cup victory!

– Stop the nonsense, you pricks!

It’s not an exaggeration to say BOQ is enjoying its best popularity ever.

However, as rumors spread about OLZ—the team suddenly established by Outlaw, who is already at the height of popularity—it only became inevitable for interest to be piqued.

Honestly, if Outlaw’s team collapses, downvote, lol.

As he thought this and hurried over, think to yourself whether you might have been affected by the Outlaw’s and OLZ’s unexpected rise.

────────

– Downvoting the front-page lodgers, lol.

– But why are the front-page lodgers suddenly hating on Outlaw?

– It seems that even those stuck up front-page lodgers see Outlaw as a threat; they must be doing well.

– Nah, it’s just human nature to envy a beautiful woman, lol, though there’s no subject here.

– Ah, that’s what this is about, haha!

– Lmao.

While there were occasionally posts with unnecessary content, one fact was for sure.

– OLZ is seriously anticipated.

The rumors spread in all directions.

“Ah, yes. I think I can do the morning of the 19th. Oh yes, please do that. Thanks.”

As expected by Baek Seong-an.

Not long after finishing the successful scrim with BOQ, requests from teams wanting to scrim with us started to come in one by one.

Despite the condition that they had to practice on the live server to scrim with us, given the situation, there was no need to explain just how much interest was being directed at our team.

“I’ve got scrims lined up for tomorrow.”

“Already? Where at?”

“Burn LeonHart.”

“Oh, that place… isn’t that the team that got knocked out last time in the qualifiers?”

“Exactly.”

Burn LeonHart (BLH).

This team, referred to simply as BLH, could be seen as the prince of last season’s Legends of League Challengers Korea.

Although they unfortunately did not make it through the last season’s first division qualifiers, no one doubts the fact that BLH is the reigning prince of the second division.

The team closest to the first division at the moment.

That’s BLH for you.

“Well, they’re probably wary of us, so they want to check us out in advance.”

“That makes sense.”

BLH…

Let’s see what they’ve got.
