Chapter 78: Legend Disassembly Lab
by AfuhfuihgsI check my emails personally.
It would be great if only actual business emails came through, as the name suggests.
But in reality, weird messages flood my inbox at a much higher rate than legitimate business inquiries.
There are emails begging for help, claiming their lives are tough and swearing they won’t forget my kindness if I help them just once.
Others aren’t asking for money but for viewers, pleading, “Please host or collab with me, I just need a little boost!”
Some offer unsolicited advice on how I should fix my stream.
And then there are those emails—cyberattacks featuring pictures of… well, things that should never have ribbons tied around them.
…Why the hell would you put a ribbon on it?
These things don’t scare me.
If anything, the backseat gaming emails are far more annoying.
Sure, a man who could physically hurt me is scary.
But some random weirdo behind a screen? Just mildly unpleasant.
Once I filter out these landmines, I occasionally find emails I actually need to read.
Even collaboration requests vary in weight depending on who sends them.
For small-time streamers, it’s an obvious attempt to climb on my back for exposure.
For bigger names, it’s a mutually beneficial deal.
And one name, in particular, caught my eye.
Someone I’d encountered a few times in ranked matches.
When I stream, viewers always flood the chat explaining who’s who and what their reputations are, so even if a streamer’s channel name and in-game name differ, it doesn’t really matter.
‘Ones’—a top-10 Challenger streamer with nearly 20,000 concurrent viewers.
We even stream on the same platform.
Apparently, in the streaming world, this makes us “coworkers.”
But I wasn’t particularly interested in collabs.
Unless Wild suddenly felt like repaying his “debt” from before, I couldn’t imagine why a pro player would even reach out to me.
Collaborating with strangers? Not my thing.
Unless I really needed a fresh dynamic for the stream, I wasn’t going to bother.
Honestly, I might never bother.
So, I left Ones’ invitation to appear on his Master Class segment unanswered, subtly declining without outright saying no.
And then—he sent a second email.
This time, it wasn’t for a Master Class appearance.
He wanted me to join him for an educational content segment.
Ignoring two emails in a row felt a bit weird.
But if I responded to every single email, I’d never be done.
Then, a third email arrived—one I hadn’t expected.
He said I didn’t need to stream with him.
He just wanted me to teach him Teamfight Arena.
Apparently, since I never accept friend requests, he couldn’t ask me in-game and had no choice but to email me.
It felt like something out of a martial arts novel—like a wandering swordsman begging a masterless warrior to teach them their techniques.
Except it was over email.
“Teaching him wouldn’t be hard.”
I considered it.
Whatever he wanted to learn, it was just a game—I could explain things easily.
And if he still didn’t get it, well, that’s his problem, not mine.
But I was in the middle of my #1 rank grind.
That had to come first.
So, I carefully worded my reply, vaguely saying, Maybe after I finish my climb.
Then, a fourth email came in.
Four times.
Even Zhuge Liang only needed three visits from Liu Bei before he agreed.
And Ones had now emailed me four times.
This time, he wasn’t asking me to join his stream.
He just wanted to analyze my ranked matches on his own channel.
“Can I break down your gameplay on my stream?”
Analysis?
What exactly is he planning?
Curious, I replied with permission.
Let’s see what he does with it.
Three large men sat side by side in front of a camera.
They were so bulky that they barely fit within the frame together.
For a gaming stream, the visuals were surprisingly entertaining, and the chat was already buzzing.
[OO donated 1,000 won.]
“Is this a bodybuilding meet-up?”
<Let’s start by testing their max lifts!>
<Why are they sitting down? Do some wall sits!>
<What’s today’s workout focus, boys?>
“No, this is the Teamfight Arena analysis desk.”
[SideChest donated 1,000 won.]
“Three muscle-heads gathered for analysis? You need brains, not brawn for that.”
<Yo, what’s your max bench?>
<Someone bring the weight plates!>
<Why do they look like three wild boars lined up?>
<Are we sure this is a gaming stream?>
<Are they actually analyzing, or is this a combat sports segment?>
<Who are the guests?>
To answer the chat’s curiosity, Ones introduced the guests.
“This is Vulcan, head coach of X6.”
“And this is Scrapper, an X6 player.”
“Hello, I’m Vulcan.”
“Hey, I’m Scrapper.”
<They brought a pro coach and a player? Damn.>
<Can they get Victory on next time?>
[ProteinSupplement donated 1,000 won.]
“I heard these three met at the gym.”
“No, we didn’t.”
“The coach and I climbed ranks together back in Season 1. We talked about the game a lot back then.”
After a bit of lighthearted conversation, Ones finally got to the point.
“Today, we’re doing a Legendary Dissection session. We’ll analyze the recent breakout star of the ranked scene, Legendary, and figure out how she maintains such a high win rate. I got permission from her to do this.”
<Wait, is this a collab?>
<Is she gonna appear live?>
<Don’t get your hopes up.>
<If she does show up, the genre of this stream is gonna change.>
<You mean a tiger trainer leading three bears?>
“Unfortunately, this isn’t a collab. She just gave me permission to analyze her games.”
[OO donated 1,000 won.]
“Whew. For a second, I thought my pure, innocent Ones was about to get corrupted.”
<Obviously, we were just worried about Ones’ purity, right?>
<Do you know who Legendary is?>
<We can’t just let anyone take Ones away.>
The chat was lively and full of jokes, but the real content was just about to begin.
Was It a Collab?
After some light chit-chat, Ones finally revealed the true purpose of today’s stream.
“Today’s stream is all about analyzing Jeon Jeonseol! We’ll be breaking down the gameplay of the recent rising star in ranked games. And yes, I did get permission from her.”
<Wait, is this a collab?>
<Face reveal incoming??? 🤯🤯🤯>
<Don’t get your hopes up.>
<If Jeon Jeonseol joins this stream, the entire genre is gonna change.>
<A regular person lost in a gym.>
<Why would a gym be an uninhabited island?>
<Or maybe it’ll be more like a beast tamer and three bears.>
“Unfortunately, it’s not a collab—just an analysis stream with her permission.”

—”Phew, my pure-hearted unicorn almost turned into a bicorn there. LOL”
<Obviously, we were just worried about Ones’ innocence, right?>
<Of course! 😂>
<Who even is Jeon Jeonseol?>
<No matter who it is, we’re never giving up Ones!>
<Ones is gonna stay in the gym with us forever!>
Despite not actually meaning it, the chat was full of people claiming they wouldn’t let anyone take Ones away.
And in that peaceful atmosphere, the analysis stream finally began.
“This was one of the most impressive matches recently. If you look here, our team started off by giving up four kills. If this were a trade, it’d be one thing, but it was completely one-sided. Still, we managed to turn it around. Let’s analyze how we pulled off the comeback.”
<Did Ones go through all of Jeon Jeonseol’s replays recently? That’s love.>
<??? : “I only see you. It’s a straight line.”>
<Ones, that girl is off-limits! She’s already taken by Victory!>
<What are you saying? 😂 The real ship is Wild from their past collab!>
A legendary player had emerged in the gaming scene.
People watched her replays to learn from her skills.
Yet, despite how simple this could be summarized in just two lines, viewers couldn’t help but create unnecessary narratives around it.
Was it just because the two players were of different genders?
“Let’s try not to force any weird narratives onto Jeon Jeonseol. It’s disrespectful to her.”
[💰 Viewer BicornBicorn has donated 1,000 KRW]
“Bruh, you’re the one obsessing over it the most. LMAO.”
“I’m banning this person.”
<Paid ban. 😂>
<Why do Koreans put their entire soul into shipping?>
<The romance-obsessed nation. 🤣>
“Please focus on the game content.”
In this match, Jeon Jeonseol’s favorite champion, the Illusionist, had been banned.
At this point, it had become a common strategy—if Jeon Jeonseol wasn’t on your team, just ban the Illusionist.
Her signature pick was becoming increasingly rare in games.
But soon, everyone would come to realize—
Jeon Jeonseol wasn’t the kind of disaster that could be stopped with just one or two bans.
For this match, she had picked the Wolf Rider.
Neither a full damage dealer nor a tank, but a bruiser.
And as the name suggests, this champion was highly mobile thanks to the wolf it rode.
However, unlike the Illusionist, it didn’t have massive burst damage.
So how did she play it?
The three muscular analysts at the review desk started breaking down her gameplay.
And then—X6’s head coach, Vulcan, let out a stunned reaction.
“Damn, that’s insane. Why isn’t she a pro?”
X6’s pro player Scrapper felt the same way.
“Her gameplay is way too clean. She’s not a regressor or something, right?”
“You think she traveled back in time just to win a single match?”
“But she plays like she knows the future.”
Ones agreed.
Her plays didn’t feel like they came from someone living in the same timeline as them.
