“Uh… support?”
What is this? This mission feels oddly familiar.
Of course, it shouldn’t be hard.
It’s just a pro who just got promoted to the first division sending a support message to a player in the same league competing for the Red Cup.
‘…No, is that weird?’
My fingers, ready to type an unstoppable message of support, suddenly paused for a moment.
At that moment, the viewers, like a pack of hyenas, pounced with excitement.
– Hahahaha
– Ooh, adjust the price accordingly
– For real, the Outlaw is thinking of a thousand?
– Adjust the price
– A thousand sounds a bit much lol
I turned away from the chat to focus on the game.
Someone said Legends of League starts at one minute and thirty seconds, but it actually starts the moment the game does.
Especially since our team is currently invading.
“Let me focus for a moment.”
The invade combination from our team isn’t too bad.
Of course, if you ask if the opponent is weak, that’s not the case either, but it’s true that our team has a bit more room to play around.
Leading the way was GuineaPig’s Leona, closely followed by Rainbow’s Jui.
It was hard to expect any CC from level one Kennen or Jinx, so it was only natural for them to take the lead.
As soon as our team passed the bottom tri-bush and entered the bottom lane bush—
Whoosh!
The enemy Samira’s E skill whizzed past Leona.
However, I felt that Samira’s judgment seemed a bit lacking.
‘That’s a mistake.’
Although she created distance with her E skill, she was still in Leona’s E range.
To avoid that, she would have had to use Flash, but if Samira had planned to use Flash from the beginning, she could’ve simply jumped over the wall.
But the fact that she rushed downward meant her judgment went wrong.
Leona approached Samira threateningly.
A fierce psychological duel with Flash.
At that moment, GuineaPig’s Leona boldly used Flash.
Instead of using the E skill, she used Flash, followed by a Q auto-attack to bind Samira’s feet in one move.
Samira quickly used Flash to widen the gap, but Leona’s Q already hit, causing Samira to use Flash.
The place where she fled was right next to the wall.
In other words, it was Jui’s stage.
Smack!
If Samira had leveled her W, she could have blocked Jui’s sleep, but that was a harsh reality for Samira, who already took E for survival.
Woosh…!
Samira, who had used Flash, was now immobilized.
And slowly, our five members surrounded the sleeping Samira.
As expected from the celestial-level teammates, they were careful not to wake Samira up prematurely with foolishness.
The start was from Jinx’s trap.
Jinx’s trap connected with the sleeping Samira, and soon after, all kinds of skills rained down.
– First Blood!
– Enemy eliminated!
I got the first blood.
It wasn’t out of pity from my teammates or pure luck; I secured the kill by saving my auto-attacks and aiming for it.
‘Early kills are jungle’s business.’
In the top lane, someone might have protested, but at least in my opinion, the most devastating snowballing achievable from early first blood is in the jungle.
It’s not because I’m a jungler.
Really.
– Oh
– Wow
– GuineaPig Rainbow woah
– GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig! GuineaPig!
– As expected, the golden pig
– For real lol
– This is it
The audience cheered.
Amid that, while our side certainly achieved results, there were sacrifices to be made.
“This could have eaten our Blue side vision. The path might give Rakan a smidge of fun, but… getting the kill was worth it.”
The value of first blood is extremely high for junglers, especially for champions like Graves.
Getting one more item isn’t just about fight strength; it means the jungle clearing speed increased significantly, allowing for an early turn over the opposing jungler.
– Easy peasy
– But if the enemy ate Blue vision, isn’t Graves’ route obvious?
– Nah, that’s you…
– Ah lol just keep it real
‘Alright.’
I smoothly started with Red.
Red-Golem-Razorbeak.
An exceptionally tidy Red three-camp start, but the speed was unmatched compared to before.
Starting with an AD jungler holding one extra Long Sword meant just that.
‘Then…’
Having cleared the Red three-camp, instead of heading to the upper jungle, I went straight to the riverside.
I didn’t know the enemy jungler’s starting point.
If the enemy Rakan started at Blue, I’d be throwing a gamble that ruins the route.
But I had a conviction.
‘The enemy likely has a ward set at my Blue.’
In that scenario, if Rakan started at Red, he would have to choose whether to clear his jungle or jump to my Blue.
In other words, Rakan has no reason to limit his options by starting at Blue.
‘Of course, he might have anticipated that, but… usually, they don’t.’
If it were a tournament or team game, maybe, but this was solo queue.
No matter how top players, they wouldn’t overthink things to that extent.

After signaling to my teammates like a declaration of war where I was heading with ping, I charged straight into the enemy Blue territory and made it to the Wolves.
There, I ran into Rakan, who was attacking the Wolves.
‘There it is.’
The moment our eyes met, Rakan’s expression was clearly flustered.
It’s not common for someone to invade at this timing, around level three.
Bam! Bam!
Graves’ auto-attacks mercilessly struck Rakan on the back of the head.
Fundamentally, Rakan is a lumbering character.
For a level three fight, it’s very difficult for Graves to kite outside Rakan’s E range, but being difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
Bam, bam, bam—
Just as Rakan was about to lunge in, Graves used his E skill to create distance.
As Rakan turned to look back while chasing, I immediately turned my head as well.
Extreme kiting.
Instead of Rakan pushing in, he became the one at risk.
– No way, this is happening?
– What the?!
– What is this?
– Rakan crying lol
– Trudging along
– Insane kiting wow
– What is nano-kiting?
– Can’t even see the auto-attack animation?
Rakan tried to flee with Flash but was finished off by me who followed with an equal flash.
– Enemy eliminated!
A kill between junglers.
It’s not something that happens often, and the entire mood of the game shifted completely.

When teammates ping this way, it usually means one of two things.
Either the teammate is doing terribly, or
The teammate just pulled off a super play.
Of course, there was no doubt it was the latter in my case.
– Oh
– Extreme praise haha
– Rainbow praising the jungler wow
– Sister, give me! Sister, give me! Sister, give me! Sister, give me! Sister, give me! Sister, give me! Sister, give me!
Of course, that said, the situation was still ongoing.
There was no way the enemy mid and bot would let me roam freely in their territory.
‘They’re closing in.’
There was no escaping the encirclement.
In the end, I had to cross into the enemy base and get executed.
– Executed!
Thanks to that, I bought my team some time to free farm in mid and bot, giving us double, triple the profit.
– Wow, an execution here wow
– The enemy bot is crying
– Doesn’t that mean the enemy bot is done for?
– For real lol
– Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!
『‘Muulsooo’ sent ‘10 balloons’ as a gift.』
『“If Rainbow pings three times, it’s 2000.”』
– ?
– Crossing the line
– For real
– Will you do it?
– Ah lol adjust the pricing already
Although the viewers were thrashing me with passionate criticisms, it didn’t matter much to me.
‘Support is one thing, but a ping wouldn’t hurt.’
What’s all the fuss about…

Rainbow Ryu Jin-hyuk couldn’t hide his surprise as he looked at the three pings that had appeared.
