“SY vs GRS, GRS vs SY! The match everyone has been waiting for has finally happened at the Legends of League World Championship!”
“Yes! I’m sure a lot of people have been eagerly waiting for today.”
“Now, we’ll determine who the world’s strongest team is. It’s truly nail-biting!”
The commentators’ voices and the heat of the arena rose with excitement.
Today’s match was the most important one among many Legends of League games.
The Legends of League World Championship Finals.
Or in other words, the Red Cup Finals.
That moment was approaching.
“Wow… I’m trembling.”
“Me too.”
Kim Jae-min and Baek Seong-an sat in front of the feedback room TV, unusually tense.
And it was the same deal with Kim Ji-hoon.
“Are you not working out today?”
“Yes. I figured it would be better to watch this together.”
“That makes sense.”
No matter how much he liked to exercise and was good at it, Kim Ji-hoon was a professional gamer now.
It was only natural for him to focus on his duties.
“Yeon-woo is here too.”
“Oh, yes. I’m here to watch as well.”
“Well, today’s match does sound like a really fun one.”
The OLZ team members gathered in one place after a long time.
Of course, technically they all gathered for practice, but that’s a different vibe.
“What do you think about today’s finals?”
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that these are two of the best teams in the world, so a close match is expected. But if I have to support one side a little more… I think SY might have a slight edge.”
“Yes. Even though there have been some ominous news regarding GRS’s recent momentum and various aspects, it’s SY, isn’t it? In such a big game, SY has never lost so far.”
“At the center of that is Rainbow, who is considered the backbone of the team.”
“That’s right. Who is Rainbow? He’s the one who led them to two Red Cup victories! Rainbow never misses these big games!”
The commentators were anticipating SY’s slight advantage, but the reaction in the chat wasn’t so optimistic.
-Am I the only one feeling anxious…?
-Hmm.
-To be honest, I feel like we’re going to get wrecked.
That anxiety was understandable.
Considering GRS’s overwhelming performance in the semifinals and SY’s anxious, precarious state, a Korean fan could hardly feel at ease.
“I honestly feel a bit uneasy too.”
“Me too.”
Kim Jae-min and Baek Seong-an chimed in.
I could understand that.
In fact, I felt a little anxious too.
“Okay, let’s check out the Ban/Pick!”
The serious Ban/Pick phase began.
SY was in the red team.
GRS was in the blue team.
That meant GRS had the first pick.
[LeBlanc]
“Ah, as expected, they take LeBlanc out first.”
“It’s a high-tier pick recently, especially Rainbow’s LeBlanc is well-known.”
“So, what will SY’s first ban be…?”
It was SY’s turn to ban.
[Lucian]
“Ah, it’s Lucian. Good choice.”
“Yes. Conversely, GRS has a key player, MobyDick, who is a lethal Lucian player, already proven in past matches.”
[Becks]
“Ah, they’re cutting Becks too.”
“From this, it seems GRS is quite wary of Rainbow?”
“That’s right. So now let’s see what SY chooses… There are plenty of champions available!”
-Mid sniper ban lol
-Rainbow one-trick team
-Does this mean they can pick up Arin or Wukong?
Sure enough, GRS’s bans were blunt.
But that wasn’t entirely bad news for SY.
In fact, one could say Rainbow had just removed some enemy ban options.
‘So…’
From here on out, we just had to watch SY’s picks.
[Kai’Sa]
“Um… they’re going with this.”
“Do they want to remove the others? That’s the vibe I’m getting?”
“Yes. This means Wukong, Arin, and Gwen could all be available. Of course, we’ll need to see the next bans…”
“I personally think they should ban Gwen from the red side… but let’s wait and see?!”
As mentioned, Gwen’s pick in the Red Cup stage was almost OP, to the point where usually, if there was any chance of
