[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 292

The best way to approach an enemy champion when playing Lee Sin is to hit your Q before diving in.

That way, not only can you see the angle to escape with W in case of an emergency, but you can also chase down the enemy further.

But saying it is easy; hitting Lee Sin’s Q from a distance is pretty tough.

Let alone if the enemy is aware of Lee Sin’s presence.

[“I’ll use Flash here.”]

With Baek Seong-an’s words, Renekton lunged at Akali with a forward Flash and W like lightning.

Bark bark—

Akali, somewhat quick on her feet, responded with her own Flash, but she was already hit by Renekton’s W.

Skills like Renekton’s W will stun the target at the location where Flash was used, even if the target has used Flash.

I wasn’t going to waste that opportunity.

I closed the distance in a single leap with Flash and used my Q from maximum range.

Calculating that Akali would slightly back-move as she got out of the stun.

Whack!

Just as I anticipated, Akali got hit by the sonic wave, and I immediately closed in.

Akali tried to escape with her E, but I followed right behind with Ward jump.

A sticky auto-attack soaked in red.

Plus, the E slow on top of that.

With all her escape tools used up, Akali couldn’t withstand the combined assault from Renekton, who had closed in with his second E.

-Enemy eliminated!

[“Good good.”]


[“Nice!”]


“Good.”

That was a play that only Renekton could pull off.

Of course, given that the opponent was Akali, it would be hard to pull off something like that a second time, but that first time was crucial.

Legends of League is an organic game.

Especially kills in the Mid lane, which can be considered the game’s center, are practically the start of a massive snowball effect.

As we established control in the Mid lane, Jarvan, who was naturally cycling through the jungle and checking angles in other lanes, had no choice but to cover Mid.

In other words, by successfully ganking Mid, we easily forced the enemy jungle to lose a turn as well.

“Jarvan’s in Mid.”

[“Yes.”]


[“Confirmed.”]

This naturally eased the pressure on our top and bot lanes.

Particularly in the top lane where Jason versus Gwen was a situation where Jason would be beating down heads, but when Jason looked for the kill angle, he could end up in danger himself.

Preventing that counterattack was precisely the jungler’s purpose, but once Jarvan’s position was revealed, Gwen could no longer hold back.

As Jason attempted to trade damage, Gwen boldly moved in for a trade of her own, causing Jason to no longer be able to pressure as he had earlier.

A slight misstep in health could mean death.

The bot lane was the same story.

Sure, having Jhin and Yuumi survive against Caitlyn and Lux was the plan, but once Jarvan’s position was visible, the duo of Kim Ji-hoon and Kim Jae-min outperformed expectations.

“I should be arriving at Jungle soon, so feel free to pretend to put pressure on bot.”

[“Yes.”]


In this situation, if I just show my position without doing anything, my laners acting up a bit would force the enemy to be aware of my presence.

This was due to the fact that we had just made the enemy jungle lose a turn after the Mid kill, after all.

Returning, I started checking the upper jungle again.

The best jungle route is to clear all camps and then use the remaining time for a turn around.

For the jungler to do that, they need perfect coordination with their team members, and naturally, the ability of the laners must back that up.

If it clearly looks impossible, the jungler should make a call right away.

Even if it results in the jungler being behind as a result.

[“Oh, no.”]

But, games never flow as expected all the time.

-Our ally has been defeated!

Not long ago, Renekton, who had just secured a kill, was taken out.

It was an unexpected turn of events.

[“…Ah, I messed up. Sorry.”]


“It’s okay.”

Akali’s health was virtually at full.

It seemed Baek Seong-an had tried to trade damage awkwardly and got kited to death.

Even though Renekton is a strong pick against Akali, situations like this could happen at any time.

‘Not good.’

Since it happened when the lane was getting pushed, I had no choice but to cover Mid.

This meant we might end up applying the same jungle turn pressure we had just put on the enemy.

“I don’t know the enemy jungler’s position. But I think they might be at Blue. Be careful, Yeonwoo.”

[“Yes.”]


As expected, Jarvan showed up at the top lane.

Right now, the top was in a dive situation.

“Can you survive?”


[“I don’t think so. I’ll just hold on.”]

The enemy Jarvan and Jason attempted to dive Honor’s Gwen.

Luckily, Honor had saved his W until the very end, forcing the enemy to go deep under the turret.

-Our ally has been defeated!


-Enemy eliminated!

Thanks to that, although Gwen died, we managed to take down the enemy Jarvan.

[“Nice.”]


“Good job.”

But a loss is a loss.

The game turned into chaos.

*

When Tanis’s Akali scored a solo kill against Getback’s Renekton, the commentators erupted with excitement.

『“Solo Kiiiill!!! Tanis’s Akali comes through when the team is in a pinch!”』


『“That’s right! Who is SS Class? The veteran of LCKR! No matter how hot OLZ has been in Challengers Korea, they need to show their face as a first division team!”』


『“Ah, I bet Getback must be thinking what is going on over there. He got hit a few times and ended up smacking into death!”』


『“Exactly! Even the light rain gets you drenched; no matter how tough Renekton is, he will eventually fall if he keeps getting hit!”』

-Again with you?


-Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback! Getback!

-Retirement incoming haha


-Oh, it looks like the lower tiers are where the issues come from.


-Getback feels the wall now, whoa.


-Poor Outlaw.

The audience’s evaluations were ruthless.

No matter how popular a team OLZ was, not all its members received the same support.

Especially not when they were making plays that weighed the team down like this during a crucial game.

『“They might need to focus on top now, don’t you think?”』


『“Honor is alone right now!”』


『“But it seems a bit dangerous from SS Class’s perspective too, right? The opponent has the best top in Challengers Korea, Honor’s Gwen!”』

The first to charge in was Jason.

Jason unleashed all his skills and narrowly started tanking the tower from the distance.

But Honor’s Gwen nimbly dodged Jarvan’s spear in the midst of all this.

-Our ally has been defeated!

Although Gwen died, as Jason could no longer hold on and retreated, the tower aggro was drawn onto Jarvan.

It was literally a matter of a single auto-attack.

-Enemy eliminated!

『“Honor pulls this off!”』


『“They just barely survived a huge crisis, but… it’s clear that OLZ’s earlier pace has been disrupted!”』


『“Still, they need to refocus! It’s true that OLZ still has the advantage!”』

-Oh.


-This is better than nothing.


-ss.


-Little sister’s mechanics, whoa.


-Great job.

The game continued.

While Jarvan died at the top, Outlaw’s Lee Sin secured the Dragon after covering Mid.

A smooth diagonal law of the game.

-Red Team has slain the Flame Dragon!

『“They did what they needed to do, right?”』


『“Yes, one thing’s for sure: Jarvan had spent his turn at top.”』

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

-Little girl breadwinner, whoa.


-Outlaw is a one-man team haha.


-No, not a man though?


-RL haha.


-And there’s a little sister too…

At that moment.

『“We need to focus on Mid, Mid!”』


With the shout from the commentators, the camera naturally shifted back to Mid.

In Mid, a damage trade was heating up.

To be precise, it would be more accurate to say that Renekton was the one getting hit all out.

『“This looks dangerous for Renekton!”』


『“Akali has two charges left on her ultimate. Can she avoid this?!”』

Avoiding Akali’s ultimate’s second shot relies more on the shooter’s skill than the dodger’s skill.

The projectile is so fast that if the shooter aims well, avoiding it is practically impossible.

Whack!

Akali’s second shot of her ultimate rushed through.

Renekton couldn’t dodge Akali’s ultimate but managed to survive by the skin of his teeth.

It was pure luck.

『“Phew… that was a close call, right?”』


『“But result-wise, Renekton got sent back home! If that’s the case, then picking Renekton against Akali becomes meaningless…”』


『“Tanis is truly remarkable! Not once but consecutively showing plays like this in such situations!”』

-LOL so crazy.


-Wow, what’s this?


-Getting wrecked haha.


-Doesn’t this mean they have to cover Mid again?


At that moment.

What everyone thought was Outlaw’s Lee Sin there to cover Mid instead dove between minions with Ward jump.

With so many minions, it was practically impossible to land a sonic wave.

But Outlaw pierced through that needle hole, hitting a minion with Smite and landing a sonic wave on Akali.

Literally passing through a needle hole.

『“Uh, uh?!”』


The commentators’ voices rose as,

-Enemy eliminated!

Outlaw’s Lee Sin ruthlessly punished Akali, who was out of ult.
