Chapter 125: Sniping. (7)
by AfuhfuihgsFeedback.
For those serious about Legend of League, this unavoidable process is an excellent opportunity for self-objectification by reflecting on the previous game, recalling mistakes made, and things done well.
Of course, this is primarily when solo queue warriors self-critique to raise their tier; the story changes slightly when it comes to team games.
Especially, in a feedback session between internet streamers after a match like the current one.
“Everyone’s watching my stream, right?”
[“Yes, yes.”]
[“Watching.”]
[“Turning it on now.”]
“Okay.”
-JG diff JG diff
-Ah
-Look at Jjushim b*stard gearing up to play politics again lololol
-Out
-JG diff
-Law
-Law
-Pathetic, Chushim-ah
-Ah
-Out
The viewers’ clamor continued, but Jjushim steadfastly ignored it and played the replay.
-Welcome to Summoner’s Rift!
The early invade situation was perfectly normal, so he skipped past it without needing to look…
“Here. This is where the problem starts.”
Jjushim paused the replay at the moment Master Yi first appeared on the map.
At that time, his team’s situation was not just good, but very advantageous.
Yet, they failed to properly capitalize on that situation, making it a prime candidate for the main cause of defeat.
“Master Yi showed himself openly, but if you look here, our laners aren’t doing anything. Shouldn’t they call the jungler to invade the enemy jungle? It’s an obvious Master Yi funnel comp, they should have at least tried to shut down Master Yi.”
-?
-Why should the mid laner do that?
-My
-You should have called it, you idiot.
-Blaming others again.
-Pathetic.
-Ruin.
-My
-Ruin.
Perhaps emboldened by the viewers’ voices.
Router spoke up, albeit a little.
[“It’s true I made a mistake… but hyung, isn’t that something the jungler should call first? Looking here, it seems like you were just jungling too…”]
-Agreed.
-JG diff.
-Kya.
-A cutting remark.
-Router’s honest opinion lol.
-It is jungle difference lol. Yep, yep.
-Agreed, agreed, agreed.
-Agreed again, agreed.
-Acknowledging the facts.
Of course, this too was a situation Jjushim was not just familiar with but had expected.
How many tournaments had Jjushim gone through on the wild-like Red TV?
This was nothing.
“Of course, I made mistakes too. But I’m the jungler. Isn’t it natural for laners to have a better grasp of the lane situation? If you’re winning, instead of just calling out the CS difference, you should have made other calls.”
[“That’s true, but… Yes, I’m sorry. I was wrong.”]
Router’s voice became cautious.
Separate from his gaming skills, Router didn’t have many viewers on Red TV.
In other words, this feedback session wasn’t one that started on equal footing from the beginning.
-Trying to push him down again.
-This bstard really needs to hit rock bottom.
-Jungle difference, jungle difference.
-Why is this mid’s fault? Why is this mid’s fault? Why is this mid’s fault? Why is this mid’s fault? Why is this mid’s fault?
-Wow, sht, he’s actually managing to politicize this.
-Ugh, spit.
-JG diff.
-This Jjushim bstard, I don’t know about other things, but his politics are diplomat-level. Your sht is thick.
The public sentiment among viewers was still extremely hostile, but Jjushim ignored it as it was always like this after a loss.
Viewers were just pigs and dogs who would type “Extreme Paradise” as if nothing happened if they won the game. There was no need to react to every little thing.
Up to this point, it was as usual.
Due to the nature of being a jungler, if one wanted to blame others, one could do so endlessly.
Of course, the same was true for laners, but there weren’t many on the current team who could openly voice such opinions to Jjushim, a super-major figure among major figures.
However…
As is often the case in life, things don’t always go as planned.
The beginning of it was, as expected, the most important scene in this game and the biggest reason Jjushim hit rock bottom.
The infamous Lee Sin solo kill scene.
-First Blood!
It was a scene where the careless Lee Sin, while heading bot, was solo-killed by an ambushing Master Yi without even being able to lift a finger.
-Thump thump thump thump
-Something big is coming.
-Look at this b*stard’s face lol.
-First blood lolololololol.
-Solo kill lololololol.
-Is there a jungler who gets solo-killed by Master Yi as Lee Sin? Is there a jungler who gets solo-killed by Master Yi as Lee Sin? Is there a jungler who gets solo-killed by Master Yi as Lee Sin? Is there a jungler who gets solo-killed by Master Yi as Lee Sin?
-Truly pathetic, Jju-hae.
-Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin!
“Here… I made a mistake. I didn’t know Master Yi would be there. Sorry. Then the next scene is…”
And the replay naturally moved on to the next scene.
-???
-?
-??????
-He just skips over his own death.
-The game went downhill from there, but look at him slyly skipping over his own mistake.
-Pathetic, Jju-hae.
-Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin! Gold Sin!
“No, everyone, people can make mistakes. Strictly speaking, isn’t it more the laners’ fault for giving up ally jungle vision while winning?”
-??
-Blaming others again, sh*t lololol.
-?
-Ruin.
-?????
Countless hooks in tribute to Jjushim.
And a bombardment ensued.
-Hyungnim, go fcking die. Hyungnim, go fcking die. Hyungnim, go fcking die. Hyungnim, go fcking die. Hyungnim, go fcking die. Hyungnim, go fcking die. Hyungnim, go f*cking die.
-My
-Ah
-Ruin
-My
-Out
-Ruin
Unable to listen anymore, the other teammates stepped in.
[“That’s a bit much.”]
[“Honestly, making excuses after getting solo-killed was pathetic. Everyone agree? Yep, agree.”]
“…Alright. I was wrong.”
For Jjushim, he admitted it and moved on rather meekly.
It was a situation where any more nonsense wouldn’t be accepted.
The first game ended as a typical jungle difference game.
Normally, Jjushim would have somehow blamed other lanes, but unfortunately, one of the commonly presented pieces of evidence when talking about lane difference in Legend of League was growth difference.
Master Yi funnel comp.
The opponent had steadfastly executed that difficult composition and even finished the game with Master Yi’s hard carry.
Naturally, the images of Outlaw, who carried this, and Jjushim were bound to be contrasted.
The protagonist of this game, Outlaw.
And the miserably defeated villain, Jjushim.
It was an impeccably perfect picture.
‘Surely she didn’t calculate that far…’
Could it be that Outlaw, a broadcasting rookie, even considered entertainment factors and came up with this composition?
No way.
In Jjushim’s opinion, objectively, his team had the superior strength.
‘But if she really intended such a composition and planned it…’
If they lost today, the backlash would be unimaginable.
It wouldn’t just be a matter of taking a few months off; the YouTube side, which is sensitive to such issues, could take a huge hit.
‘I have to win, somehow.’
The Jjushim who was constantly trying to create broadcast angles was no longer here.
What was here was Jjushim, the Challenger and Lee Sin master.
“…Let’s do better next game. The opponent was well-prepared last game. We know we’re better, right?”
[“Agreed.”]
[“Agreed, except for the jungle.”]
[“That’s also true.”]
The previously dejected atmosphere had somehow lifted considerably.
At that moment.
Someone intruded into Jjushim’s team’s voice chat messenger.
[“We’re waiting. Are you ready?”]
It was Outlaw.
-Ooh la la.
-Jjushim’s personal bully has appeared.
-Noona, I’m dying! Noona, I’m dying! Noona, I’m dying! Noona, I’m dying! Noona, I’m dying! Noona, I’m dying! Noona, I’m dying! Noona, I’m dying!
-Noona, please beat up Jjushim b*stard some more. He doesn’t know his place.
-Seriously lol.
-Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!
-Noona, don’t go! Noona, don’t go! Noona, don’t go! Noona, don’t go! Noona, don’t go! Noona, don’t go! Noona, don’t go! Noona, don’t go!
As the chat window went into an uproar at Outlaw’s appearance, the moderators hurriedly stepped in and froze the chat.
-[Chat window has been frozen.]
Jjushim also belatedly came to his senses.
“…Ah, yes, yes.”
[“We’re ready.”]
[“Yes, understood.”]
Outlaw left the voice chat room, and the second set officially began.
The sides were switched, so this time Jjushim’s pick was last pick.
“The opponent might try another Outlaw funnel comp. So, let’s do this.”
In case of any cuckoos, Jjushim discussed picks and bans with his teammates on the streaming computer.
“Then we’re banning this, right?”
[“Okay.”]
[“Roger that.”]
The bans Jjushim chose were Zilean, Taric, and Yuumi.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt those three picks were the core of a jungle funnel comp.
“This way, the opponent can’t recklessly try a jungle funnel comp either.”
Master Yi without Taric?
He’s no different from a moth to a flame.
Let them try if they want.
On the other hand, the opponent’s bans were similar to the previous game, yet their intentions were unclear.
[Sylas]
[Elise]
[Renekton]
After the bans were complete, when it was the opponent’s first pick turn, they completed their pick without any hesitation.
[Morgana]
“Hmm, it’s a bit annoying, but it’s within expectations. We’re going as planned, right?”
[“Go go.”]
With that, Jjushim’s team’s first and second picks revealed their prepared cards.
[Kamal]
[Galio]
If they could get Jinx or Janna here, the moment Kamal locked down an opponent, it would be as good as bursting down one of them and starting.
No matter how good a funnel comp they tried to build, it wouldn’t be useful if they were dead, right?
However…
[Kindred]
At the sight of the opponent’s pick that finally appeared, Jjushim’s face turned deathly pale.
He thought he had somewhat countered the pick-off composition by banning Taric and Zilean, but it turned out Kindred was there.
No, in the first place, it’s impossible to block all of the opponent’s picks with bans in Legend of League.
Especially if the opponent was someone like Outlaw, who had no restrictions on her champion pool.
“…No. It’s fine. I can just play Lee Sin.”
Lee Sin is often considered one of Kindred’s counter picks.
Setting other things aside, it’s because Lee Sin can kick an opponent out of Kindred’s ultimate.
The opponent, brazenly intending to play Kindred, had left Jjushim’s signature pick, Lee Sin, open.
He couldn’t just let it slide.
Beyond being a streamer, his pride as a gamer simply wouldn’t allow it.
“Give me Lee Sin.”
.
.
.
Everyone has a plan.
Until they get punched in the face.
[Defeat]
It didn’t take Jjushim very long to realize that fact.
