[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 355

『“And with that, SY lights the beacon of counterattack, wrapping up the 3rd set!”』

『“Squeak squeak!”』

A critical moment.

In that moment, Yune from Rainbow appeared as a savior and led them to victory.

-Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow!

-We are living in the era of Rainbow…

-Is he the Rainbow? Is he the Rainbow? Is he the Rainbow? Is he the Rainbow? Is he the Rainbow? Is he the Rainbow?

-What the heck, he’s really carrying the mid.

It wasn’t just the audience that was reacting hotly.

“Wow… that’s the mid.”

“Why are you looking at me when you say that?”

“Uh? Not really.”

“Should I compare myself to MobyDick? Just to see how much the difference is?”

“Eh, if you do, you should compare with a Korean player. Longbow might have a chance…”

“Here we go again, what chance is there?”

Kim Jae-min, who loves to mess around, was pure awe-struck at the carry shown by Rainbow in the 3rd set.

“Wow, I really thought they were going to get wiped out, but seeing this, it might turn around…”

“Now it’s a potential comeback? Oh boy.”

“What?”

“Never mind. You little bat.”

Kim Jae-min and Baek Seong-an chuckled together.

“Hey, do you think SY can make a comeback?”

“Dunno… but I’d say hope is alive.”

The play Rainbow showcased in the 3rd set was enough to save the crumbling SY.

Perhaps, there’s one word floating in everyone’s minds watching this match.

L L W W W.

Could we witness the myth that SY once showcased again today?

Soon, an advertisement started to play.

The eyes of the team members that had been glued to the screen finally relaxed.

“Are they going to ban Yune next round?”

“Hmm, probably? After all, if Yune is gone, they’d think they can win like sets 1 and 2.”

“But wouldn’t that leave other options open?”

“That’s also true.”

True to the gamer, no, professional gamer style, the team members began discussing the ban/pick for the next match.

How can SY win?


What will GRS bring?

That kind of talk.

“Hey.”

“Hmm?”

It was Seo Yeon-woo calling me.

“Do you think SY will win the next round too?”

“Well… not sure. But I think it’d be nice if they do.”

“Nice if they win?”

“Yeah. Don’t you think? It’d be great if the Korean team wins.”

“……I agree with you on that.”

Seo Yeon-woo awkwardly smiled.

Something about her expression caught my attention, but I didn’t let it show.

Just then, the ads ended and the 4th set was about to begin.

『“Alright, it’s been a tough time, but we’ve made it this far. SY! It’s not over yet! You can do it!”』

『“That’s right! Although we couldn’t withstand GRS’s fierce assaults in sets 1 and 2, didn’t we beautifully take our revenge in the 3rd set! L L W W W, we can do it!”』

『“Of course! Who is SY! It’s a team that pulls off reverse sweeps like it’s a snack!”』

『“And… above all, the devastation Rainbow showed in the 3rd set… I’m sure GRS will be on high alert!”』

『“Exactly. Especially since throughout the finals, GRS has been focusing on mid lane bans, we’d have to keep an eye on whether Yune gets banned or not.”』

True to that sentiment, GRS surely wants to stop this momentum by any means necessary.

If they make even a slight misstep, they could get swept away by the monstrous tide that SY and Rainbow have started.

『“Alright, let’s begin… the ban/pick!”』

Soon, the banning and picking commenced.

SY’s side is Red.

GRS’s side is Blue.

Which means, GRS has the first pick.

[Yune]

As expected.

GRS banned Yune right from the first ban.

『“Wow… they’re going straight for it.”』

『“This means that the threat from Yune in the 3rd set was enormous, right?”』

『“Conversely, it could also mean that GRS thought if they block Yune, they’d have a good shot.”』

『“But if that’s the case, Rainbow’s other picks will naturally get released… So that’s something to keep an eye on.”』

– GG

– Ah, got banned.

– Isn’t SY done for?

The viewers’ reactions were full of concern.

It couldn’t be helped.

They had seen very clearly how SY fared without Yune in sets 1 and 2.

[Lucian]

SY’s ban was Lucian.

Even with the roles switched, the flow was similar to previous sets.

[LeBlanc]

GRS’s second ban was LeBlanc.

Another mid ban, but at this rate, some picks were bound to get released.

[Zayan]

Soon after, SY’s second ban was Zayan.

『“Uh… doesn’t this give off the same vibe as the previous sets?!”』

『“Yes! But already with Yune banned, we’ll have to see if Rainbow has another trick up their sleeve…”』

Just as said.

Rainbow’s Yune was already off the table.

In that situation, no matter how closely they mirrored previous bans and picks, if they lacked a key mid pick that must carry, it wouldn’t mean much.

The ban/pick continued.

The surprising event occurred when it was SY’s turn to pick.

[Yasuon]

『“…Huh? Huh?”』

『“Could it be… are they really going for this?”』

And then, the Yasuon pick was locked in.

『“Wowww!! Rainbow! I can’t believe they’re pulling out Yasuon here!”』

『“After Yune in the 3rd set, now Yasuon… if they can snag the 4th set, it’ll be a true sibling rivalry! A sibling rivalry!”』

『“Haha! Yes, indeed!”』

In the moment when the team was in crisis, Yune appeared, followed quickly by Yasuon.

The commentators and viewers couldn’t help but roar in excitement.

– No way

– Yasuon ddddddd

– This is insane, seriously for real

– Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow!

Our teammates were just as ecstatic.

Following Yune with the Yasuon pick was indeed a spicy choice.

“Wow… pulling out Yasuon from there.”

“I know right.”

“Seong-an hyung couldn’t do that, right?”

“If I wanted to, I could. But if I lose the game, I’ll be off to the next match immediately?”

“Yikes.”

And then…

While the team members were joking around, the ban/pick was soon completed.

[GRS / SY]

Top: Gwen / Nyar

Jungle: Lee Sin / Diana

Mid: Arin / Yasuon

Bot: Jhin / Senna

Support: Karuma / Tahm Kench

To summarize SY’s composition, it could be described as a typical Yaiyana composition.

On top of that, Nyar would serve as one pillar for initiation, while Senna and Tahm Kench would bolster Yasuon’s reliability.

Of course, the composition might lack damage, which means a lot would rest on Yasuon’s shoulders.

If Yasuon’s growth falters, or if he makes a blunder in team fights, that’s the end of the game.

In contrast, GRS’s composition has several picks that could be deemed meta picks.

Starting with Gwen, and including Arin.

In addition, the remaining picks laid the groundwork for Gwen to go wild.

『“I wonder what kind of plays Rainbow’s Yasuon will show… Really looking forward to it!”』

『“Yes! Of course, even though Yasuon may be seen as unstable compared to Yune… Rainbow’s Yasuon is different!”』

『“Haha! Right! No matter how much Yasuon is said to be science, it ultimately depends on the player.”』

『“It means it’s that difficult.”』

『“But I believe that Rainbow can handle Yasuon’s sword perfectly.”』

The commentators were a mix of anticipation and concern, and finally, the fourth game began.

-Welcome to Summoner’s Rift!

The early invade setup was simple.

GRS spread out wide, looking to defend against the invade, while SY grouped up toward the bot lane.

Of course, since GRS didn’t head to the bot lane, nothing major happened, but thanks to that, SY’s bot lane was able to start with bush control.

『“This means SY’s bot can start off on a good note, right?”』

『“Yes. It may seem like a minor achievement, but having a strong pick like Tahm Kench and Senna take bush control is significant.”』

『“Of course, Jhin and Karuma are powerful picks as well.”』

-Minion has spawned!

The real laning phase began.

And then,

The incident occurred just as the laners were about to hit level 2.

– First Blood!

– Enemy has been slain!

The sword of Rainbow, drawn in peril, cut through the enemy once more.
