[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 183

“Ah, I’m going to pull in the electronic child.”

I almost broadcasted with it on.

-yeah

-Quickly turn it off

-Agreed, agreed

-You’ve become a pro broadcaster lol

The teams are SY with blue, SCV with red.

[Aphelios]

SY’s first ban is Aphelios.

This can be seen as a decent start against the strong SCV bottom lane.

[Sandra]

Soon after, SCV banned Sandra.

Sandra is considered one of those picks that can break through with superior range and powerful damage, making it a must-ban for SCV, who is relatively weak in mid.

『“Seems like a solid choice. Above all, AllDay hasn’t shown great use of Sandra yet.”』

『“Right. So now it’s up to SY and SCV on how to use their remaining ban cards… Are they going to ban more AD carries and mids?”』

Madman’s words barely finished when SY and SCV continued to ban.

[Lucian]

[LeBlanc]

『“Whoa… this is getting obvious.”』

『“They respected each other? I guess you could look at it that way.”』

『“Exactly. Rainbow’s Sandra and LeBlanc, and BlackDog’s Aphelios and Lucian, are all picks they don’t want to give the opponent.”』

[Miss Fortune]

『“They even banned MF. Now what usable picks are left for AD carry… could we see two Dravens? BlackDog’s Draven is no joke.”』

『“But… Yuumi and Lee Sin both made it through. Usually you’d want to ban Yuumi, but… shouldn’t SCV ban Lee Sin first? Isn’t it too uncomfortable to give it to Yoon-ki?”』

Yoon-ki’s Lee Sin…

I remember being brutally punished by his Lee Sin back in the day.

Not to mention considering Lee Sin’s current tier, even if Yuumi is broken, handing it over is a big risk.

‘Maybe it’s better to leave them both open and just take one of them.’

Usually, in tournaments, Yuumi is a must-ban for the red team.

But now, letting Yuumi through means allowing Yoon-ki’s Lee Sin, so it seemed better to leave them both open and take one.

[Lee Sin]

Hmm.

Is this right?

『“Ah, so it got banned.”』

『“Giving Lee Sin to Yoon-ki is… slightly scary.”』

『“Anyway, thanks to that, Yuumi is now free. Any preparations to use her? Was she intentionally left open?”』

『“Well, is SCV prepared for it?!”』

With SY having no reason not to take Yuumi, they rapidly made their pick.

[Yuumi]

『“They picked Yuumi first. Now we need to watch SCV’s choice.”』

-Yuumi is left open lol

-SY win

-For real lol

-SCV’s going through that nonsense again lol

-They need to change the coach for real

Is it really tangled up this time?

SCV’s ban/pick is notoriously brutal.

Of course, the ban/pick decisions aren’t necessarily the fault of the coaching staff, but it was a puzzling choice.

“What’s wrong? What’s the issue?”

Regardless, Kim Jae-min looked as confused as ever, his eyes bright with naiveté.

“What’s wrong with that? Isn’t Yuumi trash? I prefer something else.”

“…”

Dude, this isn’t your solo queue.

-?

-???

-lol

-?

-Conceit smh

-??????? lol

-Is this… a pro hopeful?

-OLZ is doomed lol

“… I didn’t cry. Thanks for worrying.”

-Sure, sure

-Okay

-You’re right

-Sis, don’t cry ㅜㅜ

-If you’re going to cry, turn on the full cam and cry

-lol

-Hey, stop hitting, we might die here

-lol

While Kim Jae-min momentarily garnered attention, SCV had completed their first two picks.

[Twisted Fate]

[Graves]

『“Ah… so this is how it goes. This doesn’t leave SCV in a terrible spot, right?”』

『“Yeah, they let Yuumi through, but that doesn’t guarantee defeat. It just makes things a bit… tricky.”』

『“And typically, AllDay hasn’t frequently used Twisted Fate against key opponents, right? We should keep an eye on this.”』

『“We need more observations—let’s keep watching!”』

[Champion Selection]

[Next Pick]

『“The immediate thoughts are Raise or Sylas, but does Rainbow have any other picks up their sleeve?”』

[Raise]

『“Oh, and here it is.”』

『“It’s a pretty decent choice, right?”』

『“Correct. Normally, SY has been known to let TF slip with the strategy to follow up with Raise or Sylas.”』

[Kennen]

『“They grabbed Kennen as well.”』

And…

The ban/pick phase concluded.

+

[SY / SCV]

Top: Kennen / Graves

Jungle: Jarvan III / Xin Zhao

Mid: Raise / Twisted Fate

ADC: Ezreal / Jhin

Support: Yuumi / Rakan

+

『“Overall, they made the best choices possible within their options, right?”』

『“Yep. The key point to watch is definitely the mid and bot lane matchups, right? Longbow’s Ezreal is renowned for being top-tier.”』

『“Right. And I secretly thought BlackDog would play a champion like Draven against Yuumi, but choosing Jhin is quite interesting too.”』

『“That means they’ve prepared for today, right? We’ll have to wait and see.”』

『“Haha! That’s correct. We have to wait and see. Now, the game begins!”』

As the real game started,

The cheers of each team’s fans filled the air.

-One, two, three, SY, fighting!!!!

-SCV, fighting!!!!

『“The fans’ cheers are deafening, right?”』

『“I hope the players can deliver a great match, thanks to their support. Oh, it’s starting!”』

-Welcome to Summoner’s Rift!

Once again, the cheers of the fans erupted as the game officially commenced.

The early invade setup was pretty ordinary.

The SY players went for a top-side invade to establish vision, while the SCV players headed towards the bot-side invade.

As vision was divided between them, the early invade times passed.

-Minions have spawned!

The lane phase officially began.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely straightforward.

『“Uh, Graves and Xin Zhao are heading towards blue.”』

SCV, with the Graves and Xin Zhao duo, pushed into SY’s blue.

SY noticed this but, with Kennen alone, he couldn’t stop it and had to give it up.

『“They’ve confirmed the position. So the jungle paths will be split, right?”』

『“I think that’s how it’ll go, but Yoon-ki often uses unpredictable paths, right? We’ll have to see.”』

In the meantime, there was a skirmish in mid.

Typically, AllDay would be cautious from early on, but for some reason, he stepped forward.

However, the price was devastating.

『“Wait, Jarvan is pretending to go into the enemy blue and suddenly veered off. This means—”』

Yoon-ki cleverly faked moving toward the enemy blue, then swiftly turned for a mid gank.

If it failed, it could seriously hinder the jungle’s potential, but Yoon-ki used Flash to succeed in catching AllDay’s TF.

-First Blood!

『“Ah… AllDay was way too aggressive, right?”』

『“He could have been too relaxed with the ally jungle on top.”』

『“Yoon-ki really exploited that gap? Did he read the opponent’s mind? You could say that.”』

AllDay’s counterattack.

But Rainbow, as if mocking him, called in the jungle to swiftly take out AllDay.

And…

The mid death was just the beginning, as Raise suddenly used Teleport.

Destination: Top.

『“Uh, what?”』

Was it complacency due to the close position of the ally jungle?

King’s Graves pressed down Kennen fiercely from the start and unexpectedly got ambushed by Raise.

Xin Zhao was hastily coming to the rescue, but by then, Graves had already been surrounded.

-Enemy slain!

『“Ah… this isn’t good. Actually, SCV’s composition has somewhat awkward damage distribution. Therefore, the growth of their key damage dealer, Graves, was crucial, and that plan is falling apart!”』

『“That’s right! Twisted Fate and Jhin are champions more suited for backline support, not for dishing out damage upfront. SCV is in an emergency!”』

『“SCV is in a crisis! But they need to push through. What kind of team is SCV?!”』

『“Exactly! They didn’t get to the finals easily. SCV needs to show their strength!”』

Despite the commentators’ comforting words, one fact was clear.

The game exploded in an instant.

This happened less than five minutes after the game started.

-gg

-lol

-die die

-15-minute surrender, let’s go

-Wow, SY is indeed different

Just as everyone predicted.

SCV fought back valiantly but couldn’t prevent the momentum built from the early two kills.

-Despite their best efforts, it seems difficult to stop the snowballing!

『“No matter how I think about it, that mid kill was too impactful…”』

『“AllDay really wanted to show off today… it’s too bad.”』

Dragons, Heralds, Dragons, Heralds, Baron.

SY feasted on all of them, marching forward without stopping.

『“The Nexus is being destroyed!”』

『“GG!”』

『“GG!”』

In the end, the game ended before 25 minutes.

Typically, the first match in significant finals showcases both teams at their peak focus; yet SY was overwhelmingly superior.

-Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow!

-3:0 incoming lol

-This is a clean sweep

-No fun

-Wow, there’s such a gap

-mdr brr mdr brr ooo

-But SCV shouldn’t have lost like this; AllDay was way too much in the early game for real

-Agreed

Even Kim Jae-min seemed flabbergasted by the overwhelming game and looked dumbfounded before finally speaking.

“Wow… sis, SCV is that team, right? The one we played against. They beat them so easily…”

“Shh.”

-?

-Huh

-??

-OMG

-????

-What?

-For real?

Ah… this brat.

-Explain

-Do it

-Explain

-Do it

“……I’ll tell you later.”

As I glared at Kim Jae-min with a resentful gaze, the ban/pick for the second set began.

『“SCV can’t continue like this. They need to change up their strategy.”』

『“That’s right. It seems that in the first set, SCV aimed to put more pressure on mid, but it was a wrong assessment. The players might be feeling a bit of damage to their pride, but they cannot face Rainbow head-on.”』

『“Of course! Who is Rainbow? If you can’t go straightforward, attack from the side or behind!”』

As the commentators said, SCV’s ban/pick pattern began to change.

As the picks went on, one strange champion appeared on SCV’s side.

[Malphite]

“… Huh?”

What could this be about?

「“I’ll see if it can hold up.”」

Right now, AllDay’s form seemed to overlap with Getback’s.
