[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 307

GBP vs OLZ.

OLZ won 3:0.

Finally, the dream came true.

LCKR.

Legends of League’s top division.

At last, we became true professional gamers.

“Holy crap! Seriously?!”

“Great job! Everyone did so well.”

“Thanks for all your hard work, everyone.”

“We all did great, really.”

We embraced each other while enjoying this joy.

“Wow, am I dreaming? Is this real?”

Kim Jae-min was nearly in tears.

It looked a bit funny, but seeing him like that made me want to cry too, so I didn’t tease him.

For some reason, I felt a few tears welling up.

“Thanks for all your hard work, everyone!”

Even Kim Ji-hoon couldn’t help but show his joy at this moment.

“You did well too, Ji-hoon.”

“No, everyone played great. You did well too.”

“Me?”

“Yeah.”

When Kim Ji-hoon rarely praised Kim Jae-min, Jae-min couldn’t hide his bewilderment even while sniffling.

“OLZ folks! Please come this way!”

At the staff’s call, we left the booth and headed to the stage.

-Wow!!!

-OLZ! OLZ! OLZ!

As soon as we stepped out, a thunderous roar welcomed us.

Although there was a loud vibration inside the booth, nothing compared to the sound outside.

Everyone was looking at us.

Gazes, gazes, more gazes.

The past days flashed through my mind.

Days when I wanted to be a pro.

But days when I couldn’t.

However, many things changed since I was able to walk again.

“Mmm…”

I felt like crying for some reason, but I wouldn’t.

There was still so much ahead of me that I had to accomplish.

“I’ll cry when we win the Red Cup.”

“…Huh?”

Fortunately, it seemed like only Baek Seong-an heard my mutter.

Of course, I didn’t mean for him to hear, so I just smiled and shook my head.

“Nothing.”

I waved my hands toward the cheering fans.

With OLZ’s overwhelming victory, the commentators’ tension skyrocketed.

“This is truly a moment of mixed emotions. Under everyone’s gaze, OLZ has achieved a complete victory against GBP and advances to LCKR. Finally, we’re going to the top division!”

“Many probably expected OLZ to win, but I doubt anyone thought they’d showcase such overwhelming gameplay. It was truly exceptional.”

Viewers were just as excited.

-OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ! OLZ!

-Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut! Bug cut!

-Wow, they’re really going to the top like this!

-Outlaw is a god and just got promoted to the top division.

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

As the festive atmosphere reigned, the camera switched to GBP’s booth, showing the losers.

“And for GBP… they’ll have to prepare for the final match. It’s not over yet.”

“Right. We don’t know who will make it to the finals, but whoever it is, we’ve got to give it our all!”

“Absolutely! Though we didn’t perform well today, there were still brilliant plays at moments against OLZ.”

“Who is GBP? They’re the veterans of LCKR! It’s not over yet. If we keep going, GBP can do it!”

“Exactly! Tomorrow’s losers match, and then the final match the day after. I hope everyone gives it their all and shows us a great game!”

“Now, let’s meet the players!”

Finally, the interview with the winning team of the day was approaching.

Set 1 POG: Outlaw.

Set 2 POG: Getback.

Set 3 POG: Outlaw.

Of course, all members of the winning OLZ team were on stage for the interview, even though there wasn’t a separate interviewer, so the interview was conducted remotely with the commentators.

“Hello! First off, congratulations on your victory today!”

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations!”

“Alright, let’s start with our oldest member and veteran, Getback. You won convincingly 3:0 today. How do you feel?”

Getback, Baek Seong-an, replied.

“It seems our teammates played better than I expected, so we won without any difficulty.”

“I see! Getback, you showed amazing performance with Sion in set 1 and Malphite in set 2. Were those picks prepared in advance?”

“No, not really. We felt a need for new picks within the team, so we went with it.”

“So you performed so well even with those sudden picks?”

“Haha… not sure how well I did, but both champions are tanky and not particularly difficult champions, so it was fine. I’ve played them before, and most importantly, our jungler played exceptionally well.”

-True.

-Mid is all about the jungle, lol.

-Info: Sion just died.

-RL, lol.

-Still, didn’t Malphite carry almost? lol.

-Malphite played well.

-Yeah, he did.

-OLZ played exceptionally well overall, considering they turned it against a top division team.

“Well, I see! Now we can’t skip this player. Outlaw! Finally, you won in the winners bracket and got promoted to LCKR. Please share your thoughts!”

“Ah, um… it feels really good.”

“Haha! Looks like Outlaw is still a bit nervous. As a new team preparing for the league without a coach, I can imagine it’s been tough. How has that journey been?”

“There were tough times, but everyone on the team helped out, so it was okay. Especially our mid-laner.”

“Indeed, it must have been a great help having a veteran like Getback! Do you agree, Getback?”

Baek Seong-an smiled and said,

“No, I don’t agree.”

“Why not?!”

“I feel like I did it all by myself. We just did it together.”

“Haha! Is that so? Outlaw, what do you think? It seems Getback didn’t receive much help from the team!”

“I hope he remembers who is paying his salary.”

-Lolololololol.

-Seriously, lol.

-Team owner wins!

-Getback is shocked.

-Ah, can’t avoid salary negotiations.

After a brief commotion, the interview continued.

“Alright, Outlaw, let’s dive into in-game content. In set 3, the combination of Hecarim and Janna was impressive. Was that a combo you practiced together?”

“Ah, yes. It was one of the prepared picks.”

“I see! So at the Rift Herald clash in set 3, did you anticipate Lee Sin would use his ultimate and absorb it with your own? It might seem trivial, but that moment led to GBP missing a crucial team fight.”

“Ah, yes. Exactly. It was the perfect angle to kick him.”

-Wonderful.

-Physical skills.

-They aimed for that, whoa!

-Playing with it in the palm of their hand.

-So pro.

The interview continued.

“And… Honor! You performed excellently today. As the strongest carry lane alongside the jungle in OLZ, you impressed everyone once again. There are talks that top gameplay is one of OLZ’s strongest winning patterns. Do you agree?”

“Uh… I think it’s because our jungler is really good. It would have been the same if we went to bot lane.”

“OLZ’s bot lane is just as good as top lane. You mean that?”

“Then straight to bot! Jaem-min Kim Jae-min! What do you think about Honor’s comments?”

“I think he knows the game very well. Honor really knows how to read the game.”

-Haha.

-He’s smooth with his words.

-Didn’t he just cry a little earlier? lol.

-Lol.

-This is real! This is real! This is real! This is real! This is real! This is real! This is real! This is real! This is real! This is real!

-The interview deal crushed their bot lane.

One by one, the interviews progressed, and the commentators asked the final question.

“So, Outlaw, as the team’s representative, please share your aspirations or commitments for the future.”

Outlaw’s lips quivered slightly.

Everyone thought the same thing.

He’d just say something about giving it his all and asking for support to wrap things up.

Because that’s how most of the players had handled the interviews until now.

But what came out of Outlaw’s mouth was enough to excite everyone.

“Our goal is the Red Cup.”

Red Cup qualification?

That’s quite a statement for a rookie entering the top division.

However, reality always surpasses expectations.

After taking a deep breath, Outlaw said,

“Our goal is to win the Red Cup.”

The chat exploded.
