Chapter 50: LCK(4)

“Here’s the solo kill!”

“In a game where the balance of each lane is important, what are you doing, Para, when a solo kill like this happens!”

“Let’s see that again!”

[At this rate, she might be able to get 1st place for solo kills in the regular season?]

[ᄅ]

[She had a lot of kills without assists in the previous game, but this game is like this from the laning phase]

[No, Persia isn’t a mid laner who’s bad, but she just sets the tone ᄃᄃ]

[Anyway, if mid wins, upvote ᄏᄏ]

“Here, she sets up the lane, and the moment the opponent comes out a little carelessly, the skill combo. It’s really clean.”

“This player is amazing the more I see her. I don’t think it’s just that she has good mechanics. She plays the game very smartly.”

“Then, from the opponent’s perspective, praise comes out. She plays the game very interestingly.”

[King Dongjin: Para plays the game like ᄌ (with some interpretation)]

[But Para isn’t just a one-trick pony with mechanics]

[Of course not, her face is also pretty]

[Her face is also mechanics]

[The opponent thinks it’s a distance where the skill will hit, but she dodges it with movement, so there’s no answer]

“Then it’s the Voidgrub timing, wouldn’t ARK take it as a matter of course?”

“That’s right, how can they come out when their mid is gone. It’s Resher’s Xin Zhao who starts hunting the Voidgrubs.”

“This game, ARK is also gaining quite a bit in the top lane.”

“Certainly, Udyr can take the early push initiative, but from the timing when the ultimate is learned, if Udyr uses the E skill incorrectly, he has to keep getting hit by Gnar.”

[The laning is clean]

[Why is ARK good?]

[They came up from the 2nd division, but they’re all good]

“This is because rookie players who come up from CK or newly debut often have a hard time in the laning phase, you know? But ARK is different.”

“Who would think that this team is playing its first game in the LCK? It’s a really amazing team.”

[But isn’t laning something you do with experience, and all of them except Para have been playing for 2 years?]

[The bot duo was also recruited after winning a 3rd division tournament]

[ᄅᄋ Caster is still a veteran in the 2nd division]

[So Para <<< Why is she good at laning? No, why is she good at League of Legends?]

“ARK takes the lead by killing the Voidgrubs without any incident!”

“ARK wins their first victory by defeating AX 2-0 in the LCK opening match.”

[They win this 2-0?]

[The analysis desk is boring, just skip it please]

[Wasn’t Para’s flash at the end crazy?]

[She made the opponent’s mid feel a wall…a perfect wall called Para]

[If ARK keeps going like this, I think they can even go to Worlds?]

[What Worlds, they’ll go to MSI]

[Only the winning team goes to that, what MSI]

“First of all, I think there were some interesting points in the draft. Udyr and Gnar, and even Hwei. How did you see it?”

“First of all, both teams were high-level, so it was a game that I enjoyed watching. Speaking of the draft, first of all, in the top lane, the pick of Udyr came out, but it was blocked by Gnar.”

“Is Gnar a winning matchup?”

“This is because the reason for picking Udyr is only for the early laning phase, you know? But Mini Gnar’s poke, which has been nerfed consecutively, can be sufficiently endured while giving lane pressure.”

[Gnar’s health is a bug now]

[How is his health lower than Yuumi’s?]

[Uh, his growth health is so high, he’s a broken champ~]

[Sigh…Gnar simps, it’s a boring pick that always comes out whenever anything happens, nerf it more]

“But at the point where level 6 comes, when Udyr uses the E skill for a trade, Gnar uses Jump and counters well. I think the top lane initiative was a little shaken from here.”

“I see. And in the 2nd set, I think we have to talk about this player.”

“Is it the player I’m thinking of?”

“That’s right. It’s Para. Really, solo kill, damage in teamfights, survival. She really performed all roles well.”

“This is because there was a bit of a split in opinion among officials on whether Hwei was good or not, you know? I think anyone who saw this game will evaluate it as good.”

“I have to go prepare for the interview. See you in a bit.”

[He’s a broken champ]

[What broken champ, he’s a kite champion]

[ᄅᄋ If you’re going to play Hwei, play Viktor]

[Both are boring, though?]

“Then let’s check out the POG!”

[This is, even the Poppy next door would know who the POG is]

[ᄅᄋᄏᄏ]

[Who is it if not Para]

“Ah~ Para as expected. Para’s Hwei really spewed out an unbelievable amount of damage.”

[Really, Para is a legendary rookie…Isn’t it a bug that she’s so pretty and also good at League of Legends?]

[20]

[If you’re upset, reset your life]

“Throughout today’s game, the mid laner did well, and even the bold dealing that ended the game. Then let’s meet the interview!”

[Let’s go interview~]

[ᄀᄇᄌ]

[That POG finger heart is cute every time I see it]

[Let’s go to the POG interview of the cool beauty girl~]

“Let’s meet ARK’s Para, who won a complete victory against AX today!”

As soon as the announcer’s words ended, the sound of applause rang out everywhere.

It was clearly something I had experienced countless times in my past life, but standing in the center of the LoL Park arena again to do a POG interview, it felt different.

“Hello, Para!”

“Hello.”

“LCK debut match! How do you feel about receiving a solo POG?”

“I think we won because all the team members did well.”

“When you say that, I think all the team members who are watching will be happy. You played Hwei in the 2nd set today, is there a reason why you picked him?”

The reason I picked him?

I can’t say I’ve played this champion.

“I tried it in solo queue and it seemed like a champion that suited me well, so I chose it.”

“It suited you well, how would you rate your proficiency now?”

“I think it’s about 7 out of 10.”

It was an answer that I thought I was behind the player who would appear in the international competition soon, who plays Hwei almost as a one-trick.

“You did so well, but 7 points? I think other teams will be nervous.”

“Ah, I didn’t mean it like that…”

“Haha, I’m kidding. Of course, it’s a champion that was released less than a month ago, so it’s natural to think that your proficiency is low.”

The audience burst into laughter at the announcer’s natural progression.

It was a POG interview that I did after a long time, but I was able to finish it well without any accidents.

Since we won the game, what’s left is.

“Seoha is here. Let’s prepare for the fan meeting.”

It was an on-site fan meeting held in case of victory.

As I followed the manager to the fan meeting place, I saw AX, who was defeated by us, giving their losing greetings.

The content of the game was good, so there weren’t that many angry fans, but the players’ atmosphere wasn’t good.

If we had lost today, we would have been in that position.

The team members seemed to be thinking the same thing, and their expressions were subtle.

“ARK players will enter.”

When AX’s turn was over, the staff called us.

At that story, when I walked inside, the fans in front of me had already changed to our team’s fans.

After each person sat down at the designated table, Kim Dojin, the captain, grabbed the microphone.

“Thank you to the many people who came to support us today, and we will do our best to win the next game as well.”

So the fan meeting started.

Our team’s method is to select 50 people on a first-come, first-served basis and meet all the players in a rotation.

So people met Park Jin-hwan and Kim Dojin, and then they came to me.

“Hello!”

“Huh?”

It was a face I hadn’t seen in a while, but it was a person I still remembered.

That bleached hair that reached her shoulders was not easily forgotten once seen.

“It’s been a while.”

“I really didn’t know you would come up to LCK in less than a year!”

The identity of the woman was the fan who first spoke to me at the VLL finals.

I never imagined that I would meet her from the first game, saying that she would come to see me when I debuted in the LCK.

“Look at this. I even bought a uniform!”

The uniform she held out to me, my nickname was on the back, and Park Jin-hwan and Kim Dojin’s signatures were written small below.

“I left space to get Para’s autograph, so please make it the biggest here.”

I gave a big signature at the location where she asked me to sign, and drew a star.

“Ah, and please take a picture together too!”

I even took a picture together, but Jin Yoosung, who was next in line, was still talking to another fan.

It’s important to pay attention to each fan, but a fan meeting like this doesn’t have unlimited time.

Unlike CK, where there were almost no people and almost unlimited time, in the LCK, it was necessary to cut it off properly.

Seeing that, I thought he still had a long way to go.

‘It’s his first time, though.’

How many people did I sign for? Around the time when about half of the fans left.

‘Something’s strange.’

I found something strange, different from what I knew.
