Ch.3230 – The Worst Reunion

# [Summary of NoName’s Asterias Strategy Stream from Yesterday]

Not an Asterias strategy stream (x)

Would’ve given a thumbs up if it was just a “LoL” strategy stream lol

-240 upvotes but only 3 downvotes, what’s up with that? haha

-Used to be disliked as a toxic troller, but yesterday’s stream completely changed that

-Not only has superhuman mechanics, but the knowledge accumulated from 50,000 games is insane

-Seriously, what is this person doing with their life?

# [NoName’s LoL Pro Tips Collection]

## 1) Dodging Meteors

Most people probably know this by Diamond rank, but I included it since surprisingly many didn’t know.

Meteors hit stationary targets dead center, but adjust their trajectory based on the target’s movement direction.

You can exploit this by moving forward when you see the skill animation, then immediately backward to dodge the meteor.

What’s truly scary about NoName is that they calculate the cooldown and total damage formula for meteor runes by level whenever the opponent levels up.

There were many times in lane where they survived with just 10 or 20 HP – turns out it was all calculated wow

## 2) Lane Return Rock Turtle Level 6

When both laners are perfectly even in lane with identical experience, many junglers (Diamond and above) design Herald dives using ultimate ability differences.

If you push the lane but it doesn’t reset properly, minions get pulled toward your fortress, and if your jungler is on the opposite side, even if they take Herald, you’ll suffer equivalent losses in bottom lane.

But NoName intentionally pushes the lane at level 5, then instead of going home, hunts the large rock turtle before recalling. The important part is leaving two small rock turtles and one medium rock turtle.

Then the support who recalled first clears the medium rock turtle, and NoName follows up by clearing all four rock turtles on the way to receiving bottom lane, without wasting any pathing.

This means when opponents come to dive, you hit level 6 with just one melee minion (or immediately with ward XP), allowing you to counter the dive. That famous 1v4 dive counter highlight video? That’s exactly what happened.

## 3) Poking Asterias Utilization

Since NoName rarely shares Asterias strategies, we often didn’t understand their rune choices, so here’s my theory mixed with facts.

According to NoName, maximizing possession rate isn’t always the best strategy with Asterias.

You can win team fights around objectives through poking from maximum range (including skills and auto attacks).

NoName never builds attack speed. Taking Lethal Tempo increases attack speed but also raises possession rate, so they prefer Press the Attack or Conqueror.

## 4) No-Vision Jungle Gank Check

This is a trick I just learned, but apparently some pros already know it.

During lane, there are often situations where you have no wards but it might be jungle gank timing, and backing off would be a loss (especially top).

NoName does something crazy – from a position where they’d definitely die to a gank, they spam “On My Way” pings toward where the jungler might be.

This displays the travel distance in the top bar, and if the enemy jungler is in the path, this distance increases by exactly 2m.

So when it fluctuates between plus/minus 1 and suddenly jumps to 2, they instinctively sense the jungle gank timing and retreat.

It seems to fail sometimes when they get ganked, but works quite often too?

-Yeah, none of this matters in Bronze/Silver/Gold~

-FACT: NoName gained enlightenment after 50,000 games in Bronze and reached Master in just one week

-Why is this even a post? lol

-“NoName’s tips”? I’d really like to lick those…

-ᄂI’m reporting you, good luck lol

-Their insight is just different from ours. I was blown away when they explained why Orianna mains excel with Asterias

-Meteor dodging -> I actually tried it but failed with almost everything except Malphite Q lol

# [Met the Complete “Banned Boot” Team as Opponents]

-Played flex queue yesterday and what is this?

(Screenshot of results)

-Yesterday’s post is today’s top post lol

-How did it get buried?

-The threshold for top posts is too high;;

-So jealous of whoever got them on their team

[HyeBam: Name, are you streaming again today?]

Name noticed Sia’s message in private chat while wrapping up her stream.

[NoName: No, I just finished.]

[HyeBam: Then do you want to join us for flex queue? We’re celebrating Minjun oppa and Mir oppa’s return!]

Pyo Minjun and Yi Mir.

Other clan members.

Unlike Sia who frequently visited the clan room and was familiar, these two were particularly game-obsessed people who, despite knowing them for a long time, weren’t as close to Name.

[HyeBam: Come play with us Name~~ My dream has been to play games with all our clan members together]

Name considered ignoring Sia’s request, but her earnest plea made her waver a bit.

[NoName: When are you playing?]

[HyeBam: Now!]

[NoName: Now?]

[HyeBam: Yup yup! Right now! Everyone’s already in the waiting room!]

[NoName: Okay, invite me]

A familiar summoning circle appeared at her feet.

The strange sensation of her entire body being sucked in faded as her vision darkened.

“I knew our Name would come!”

Three clan members were huddled together in the dome house.

The person with the large Viking avatar was Pyo Minjun, and the one with a young noble appearance was Yi Mir.

Before Name’s digital body was fully materialized, Sia immediately jumped toward her.

“What’s this? When did you two get so close?”

Minjun asked grumpily. Sia’s behavior, uncharacteristic of her usual self, bothered him.

“While you were on hiatus, we even did collab streams together, you know?”

“What? Collab streams?”

“Right, Name?”

“Yes.”

Minjun’s expression twisted dramatically at Sia’s boasting.

He strode over to Name and pinched her cheek hard.

“Be honest, you’re not really a woman, right? It’s very suspicious that you dropped your selective mutism act while we were gone and started getting close to Sia.”

“Let go.”

“Hey Pyo Minjun! What are you doing?!”

Minjun backed off and raised both hands when Sia intervened.

“Come on, Mir hyung, say something too! Honestly, we don’t even know this person’s identity, who knows what intentions they have toward Sia!”

“When did we ever meet face-to-face before forming the clan? It’s Sia’s choice, and you’re the one overreacting.”

“This is so frustrating.”

Meanwhile, Mir had no particular thoughts about NoName joining from the beginning.

His eyes widened slightly when she first spoke, but that was it.

Rather, he couldn’t understand why Minjun was making such a fuss.

“Both of you have flowers growing in your brains. Have you already forgotten about that streamer who almost got attacked by a stalker recently?”

Minjun decided to take matters into his own hands. He was determined to expose NoName completely.

While the game queue was running, Minjun quietly made a proposal to Sia.

“If you can at least prove NoName is female, I won’t pry into any more personal details. But if it turns out she lied about her gender, she’ll need to provide a sufficient explanation. Unless she wants to be kicked out of the clan.”

“Ugh, this isn’t some mini-game. Fine! How do you want to do this?”

“We’ll each ask one question.”

“If Name turns out to be a woman, you have to delete that old-man avatar and change it to whatever I say!”

Sia had always disliked his macho avatar. She planned to turn him into a petite tsundere girl that annoyed him just by looking at it.

“Delete? I’m not scared at all. You better get ready for a mohawk biker gang look.”

“Can I go first? Hey Name! What’s your favorite food?”

Sia asked confidently.

“Don’t overthink it. Just answer with whatever comes to mind.”

Name seemed quite flustered by the sudden question. Sia’s additional comment only made her think harder.

“Hachis parmentier or cordon bleu?”

“What…?”

“Doesn’t this just look like a cutlet? Hmm, this is ambiguous…”

While Sia was caught off guard, Minjun quickly searched the internet for these foods.

Setting aside hachis parmentier, a minced meat and mashed potato dish, cordon bleu looked exactly like a cheese cutlet.

Aren’t cutlets something men particularly love?

Minjun was already anticipating his victory.

“Hey, who’s your favorite celebrity?”

“Celebrity? I’m not sure.”

“Then just any famous person. Don’t you have any hobbies?”

Did she really just eat and play LoL?

With NoName, that was entirely possible.

However, after sufficient contemplation, Name was able to provide an answer.

“Johannes Brahms.”

“Who’s that?”

“Ah, a pianist! That makes sense, classical music appreciation is a common hobby for high school girls!”

“What nonsense are you spouting, Yoo Sia! Hey NoName, are you deliberately giving weird answers? Name three Brahms compositions you know.”

“Hungarian Dance No. 5 in G minor, Alto Rhapsody, Song of Destiny.”

“Damn, what’s going on… But Brahms? When did classical music become gender-specific? This isn’t enough.”

Despite Minjun’s unreasonable argument, Sia moved on to the next question without concern.

“Name, you’ve worn a school uniform before, right? Which side are the buttons on? Left or right?”

“I think they were on the left.”

“What does button placement have to do with gender?”

“That settles it! Didn’t you know most school uniforms have different button placements for boys and girls? Boys on the right, girls on the left.”

“Isn’t that just arbitrary?”

“No, it’s not. If uniforms were standardized, they’d all have buttons on the right. Left buttons are only found on women’s uniforms.”

“Were you testing me?”

Name glared fiercely.

Sia belatedly tried to comfort her by giving her a tight hug.

“Minjun oppa keeps saying you’re a man! Now do you believe me?”

“Guys, stop fighting. We can’t find a flex queue match with just four people. Let’s just invite one more person and do a 5-stack.”

Mir tried to intervene as voices grew louder,

But only Name responded to his suggestion.

While Sia and Minjun were barking at each other like cats and dogs, Name checked her friends list.

[PatientlyPersistant – Lobby]

“I’ll invite someone.”

“Ah, NoName, that would be great.”

Meanwhile, Minjun still couldn’t accept his defeat.

“Did you two plan this?”

“That’s low, Minjun oppa! I actually had two hundred more questions ready! Should I ask another? Name, what bra size do you wear?”

Now Sia was asking shamelessly personal questions without hesitation.

A woman wouldn’t simply answer B cup or C cup. Sia wanted an answer that considered the underbust measurement, like 75C or 80B.

But Name’s subsequent response was something no one could have anticipated.

“This doesn’t make sense! Other students haven’t even started the semester yet, but we’ve been in classes for a month already!”

“At least we finished clinical practice last week, so we can breathe a little.”

“You wouldn’t understand. Actually, don’t even try to understand!”

“Such drama.”

“Speaking of which, PC bang? Wait, have you ever even been to a PC bang?”

“What are you talking about? I play games often too.”

“What do you play?”

“LoL.”

“What tier?”

“Gold. Silver now though.”

“Wow, so you do have a human side! Actually… saying you’re Gold makes you sound like a normie, which annoys me more. Come to think of it, normal people don’t climb above Diamond anyway.”

LoL required some twisted personality trait to excel at it, at least that’s what Junho thought.

“Let’s go to a PC bang. I have plenty of time today too.”

“Really? I’m almost touched! Getting to see Cheon Se-min playing games.”

“Keep that up and I’ll lose interest in going.”

Se-min had rarely entered a capsule since last summer vacation.

Partly because his schedule was busy, but also because he no longer had a reason to go in.

[Thank you all for saving me. I’m living well.]

A cryptic message from NoName.

After that, NoName never logged into virtual reality again, and Se-min tried several times to find her, but all efforts were in vain.

It was as if she was mocking him – even in the hospital room, the name was clearly left blank as ‘NoName’, and there was no one to ask where she went or what happened to her.

Detective Ma Beom-il avoided any mention of it, so he couldn’t insist on getting information.

What exactly had they saved her from, and how was she living well? He was starting to feel disappointed that NoName hadn’t contacted him.

“Starting this year, you can duo in solo queue too. Want to jump straight into ranked without normal games?”

“Wait, I haven’t played in so long, I don’t know any of the patch notes.”

“I don’t either. We’ll just adapt as we play. What?! Why is my account suspended?!”

“I bet you got mass reported for sexually harassing catfishers.”

“That’s unfair! Logically, there shouldn’t be women in Diamond 1… wait, that’s not what I meant. Damn, making a new account takes too long. You play a game first.”

“Uh…?”

Se-min couldn’t close his mouth when he saw an unbelievable message in the client window.

[Invitation from NoName – Valhalla Battlefield · Flex · 5v5]

[Accept/Decline]

Se-min’s gaze automatically moved to the accept button.

[PatientlyPersistant has accepted the invitation]

NoName, whom he had searched for so desperately.

The kid he reunited with after 8 months was leaning against the wall in one corner of the dome house waiting room.

“I don’t wear a bra though?”

Along with these puzzling words.
