– Hahaha!
– Look at Outlaw’s expression lol
– Noona, I’m dying… Noona, I’m dying… Noona, I’m dying… Noona, I’m dying… Noona, I’m dying… Noona, I’m dying… Noona, I’m dying… Noona, I’m dying…
– This is hilarious
– Trying to hold in laughter
– It’s funny to see that big guy like that lol
– I totally agree
[“Well, this is a bit of a side topic… Many people are curious about Protein’s workout routine. How much exercise do you do?”]
[“… I think I almost do it all except for sleeping and practice times.”]
[“Uh… So, are you saying you train for at least three hours a day?”]
[“Basically, I think it’s more than five hours.”]
[“… Haha! You’re truly amazing! I should exercise more too… You’re definitely a role model in many ways! Right?!”]
– Wow
– Just hell – creation
– Protein’s hitting 600 on all three while being a Challenger tier… and here I am?
– Stop the massive damage!
– Ah… Ah!
– Honestly, does that even make sense?
– I bet Juji is just 3cm
– For real lol
The interview continued with praises wrapped in envy and jealousy.
Next up was Outlaw.
[“Alright, let’s keep talking about set two… In set two, you showed truly destructive gameplay. At the center of it all was Outlaw’s Kianan. Were you prepared for Kianan already?”]
[“Ah… Yes. I’m prepared for most potential champions.”]
[“You sound very confident! Continuing with set two, you really tortured the opposing Nidalee severely. Did you feel any resentment?”]
[“Hahaha… Of course not.”]
The commentators grinned mischievously.
Unlike the first division league, Challengers Korea is often conducted by experienced, sly commentators, which leads to many such instances.
[“Just kidding. Did you roll the snowball that tightly? That’s what I meant. Anyway, you managed to finish the game in just about 15 minutes. I believe this is the shortest record in Challengers Korea… Did you know that?”]
[“Uh… No, I didn’t know that. I just thought it ended quickly.”]
[“Oh really? Haha! Either way, it ended that fast! OLZ made history today. What’s your impression?”]
[“Well, I don’t know?”]
– For real, it did end super fast
– 15-minute surrender level
– For real
– 1559 is insane lol
– I totally agree lol
Finally, the long (or short) interview came to an end.
[“Hahaha! So this concludes our interview with Outlaw and Protein. Thank you!”]
[“Thank you.”]
OLZ vs TEAM 5MAN.
OLZ wins 2:0.
And finally, the first round has ended.

OLZ’s stunning victory.
In addition, Protein’s different interview generated a buzz in the community as usual.

Is it possible to maintain that body while being pro? They were maintaining Challenger status even before they turned pro.
Isn’t this steroids???
────────
– You go ahead and ask in front ㅇㅇ
– But I’m curious, does a pro gamer using drugs count as a rule violation?
– No?
– Haha yeah right ㅋㅋ
– Why would he be on drugs? That’s stupid?
– The physique is way beyond normal, don’t slander him… You’ll get hit 20kg if you don’t want it.
– But whether he was on drugs or not, he’s already from the top 0.1% in terms of genetics ㅇㅇ
– Why is he even gaming? He should be representing the country as a sportsman damn it ㅋㅋ
– For real lol
– He could represent the country with the Red Cup, right????
– That is true
+
– Info) When watching Outlaw’s stream, I never see Protein in the dorm. They always say they’re going to the gym.
– Info) I heard there’s a team-exclusive gym downstairs in OLZ’s dorm ㅇㅇ
– ?
– For real?
– In the second division, is that a proper benefit?
– That’s insane lol

LCKR’s top-tier team SY and SCV has appeared, yet all the comments are about OLZ.
Stop talking about the second division, it’s annoying now.
────────
– The tournament talk is valid?
– Yeah, next is the traitorous league getting hammered by China.
– For real lol
– If you got hammered, just shut up, haha.
– Anyway, starting next year OLZ is going to dominate MSL and Red Cup ㅇㅇ
– Who do you think OLZ is leeching off? The main owner of this league is just a thief!
– That’s true lol

As usual, the peaceful community was heating up and showing no signs of cooling down.

Finally, the first round has ended.
Of course, even if the rounds changed, there was no separate break, it was just the start of the second half.
But there was not no change.
In fact, this change might be the most important one we’ve seen so far.
Version patch change.
Finally, the tournament server’s version changed to match the live server version.
We held an emergency meeting.
It was to organize the champion tiers to be used from the second round.
“How is the mid-lane matchup?”
“It looks like Viktor and Kuroki are sharing the lane, but… It seems a bit more cautious for now.”
Since the second round had not officially started, organizing champion tiers was proving difficult.
What is good, and what is not good?
Of course, I figured there would definitely be some tricky picks that seemed good, so the only thing left was to try it out ourselves.
“If we narrow it down to champions that haven’t come out yet… there are picks like Kuroki, Vex, and Tryndamere…”
I turned my attention.
“How about bot lane? What do you think?”
Kim Ji-hoon responded.
“Due to the teleport patch, it looks like ranged supports will be more mainstream over melee supports for lane dominance. Lux and Karuma supporters are becoming common too.”
“Hmm.”
The meeting dragged on.
