It didn’t really matter who got caught in the chain, but Rize was an exception.
She was the kind of person you'd rather et later, if possible.
If you were going to et her eventually, it’d be better to face her when you’re stronger, like a final boss.
‘I don’t really need to et her right now.’
I’m not so masochist who enjoys being tornted by strong opponents.
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Looks like Rize’s getting caught, lol]
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: How is she getting caught now?]
[Unbelievable, f***, lol]
[Gang Hoo-min: I saw Rize last ti, seriously]
[Gang Hoo-min: Her understanding of laning was on a different level]
[Gang Hoo-min: Looks like we’re already losing…]
[Hwanhee: It might not be a bad idea to concede early]
[Why are these guys talking like they’re so weak?]
[We should fight back, why is everyone so scared…]
It was understandable that the viewers were scared.
After all, they had seen lose a laning phase against Rize last ti on my stream.
“I can win if we et again. I’ve been practicing a lot since then.”
That was the truth.
After being completely dominated by Rize in the last laning phase, I had put in a lot of effort, painstakingly working on my gaplay.
Instead of mastering several champions, I focused on mastering a select few to the extre.
That’s why I was confident now.
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: No matter what you say]
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: She’s a pro player, lol]
[Gang Hoo-min: We know you’re good, but]
[Gang Hoo-min: Objectively, the chances of losing are still a bit high]
[That’s true]
[Let’s win this and get it on FanTube]
[Hwanhee: By the way, that one-on-one with Rize was uploaded to YouTube]
[Hwanhee: I rember the comnt section went crazy, lol]
While moving the champion back and forth, I noticed a comnt I couldn’t ignore.
“Wait, the comnt section is going wild?”
I knew the video of my one-on-one with Rize had been uploaded early this morning.
But the comnt section was blowing up?
‘I didn’t think I did anything that crazy.’
Before the ga officially started, I decided to quickly check the comnts, alt-tabbed, and entered FanTube.
[Finally facing off: Rize vs Dama]
I clicked on what seed like a normal title.
The view count was impressive—about 90,000 views.
That was extrely high compared to the number of subscribers.
‘I need to hit Challenger quickly.’
Once I hit Challenger, I could officially hire an editor for my videos.
Thinking about this, I checked the comnts.
[1,512 Comnts]
“...There’s definitely a lot.”
It was definitely a lot.
Normally, there’d be only about 500 comnts, but here, there were thousands.
‘I hope nothing serious happened.’
I hoped it wasn’t anything major as I quickly skimd through the comnts.
And as I glanced through, I found the reason the comnt section was going wild.
“Wait, this is the reason the comnt section’s going crazy?”
The reason was simple, yet complicated.
People who knew had gone to videos of professional players, leaving comnts like “Seriously, Dama is better” under them.
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: LMAO, comnt section]
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: It’s going wild for so reason, lol]
[This is ridiculous]
[Why the hell are they causing a fuss here when they were the ones who started it]
[But isn’t it a fact that Dama is better than so diocre pros?]
[Temporarily banned!]
[Oh, you troublemaking little shit]
[So they were just used in the Golden Cup, huh?]
[Gang Hoo-min: Yeah, the Golden Cup guys use everyone, don’t they?]
“Editor, since you’re probably watching the stream, could you please manage these comnts a bit?”
I’ll probably say this more formally when I hire an official editor, but it wouldn’t hurt to ntion it now.
Anyway, I usually don’t mind such nonsense, so it wasn’t a big deal.
After saying that, the laning phase began.
“I picked Gwen, but... this could be a little tough.”
Rize’s champion was K’Sante.
A very stylish tank champion.
It had gone through several nerfs and buffs over ti.
While Gwen was a counter-pick to K’Sante, I couldn’t be sure I would win for certain.
“If K’Sante plays well, Gwen could be in a bit of trouble... I need to be careful.”
If the enemy top laner had picked Mundo, I wouldn’t have needed to worry and could’ve just bullied him.
I thought about that as I slowly started the laning phase.
I kept my distance, avoiding K’Sante’s Q skill, while keeping an eye on my health.
Thud-!
Thud-!
I was getting a little frustrated by K’Sante’s constant attacks, but I made sure to retaliate appropriately.
If I didn’t retaliate, he would keep coming.
How long had it been?
“Ugh, my health is draining fast.”
In the top lane, I had a slight advantage.
And I an slight.
The difference was only about 15 minions and one turret gold.
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Still]
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: At least you got a kill, so you’re pulling ahead]
[It’s a bit disappointing you didn’t get a solo kill, though, lol]
[It’s really hard to get a solo kill against a pro]
[If you get a solo kill on Rize, it’d be a drinking ga for life]
[Hwanhee: K’Sante is really playing well]
[Hwanhee: How does he play so consistently?]
[It’s amazing]
“I’ll make sure I don’t let my guard down, so if you think I’m slipping, feel free to spam insults in the donation.”
The last thing I wanted was to lose this match due to a mistake of mine.
If that happened, I might not be able to sleep.
That’s how serious I was about this ga.
‘I’ve never taken a ga this seriously while playing League.’
Feeling the pressure, I slowly began to take control of the ga.
Since Gwen had the upper hand, I started pushing the lane and carefully taking control of vision.
“If the jungle’s here, it’s dangerous...”
If the enemy jungle showed up, it’d be dangerous, but if not, I had an opportunity to secure good positioning.
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Let’s go in right away]
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: You think they’ll be here?]
[No way, lol]
[Definitely not, lol]
[Gang Hoo-min: What if the jungle’s hiding? Then just throw stones at ]
[Hwanhee: K’Sante is hard to deal with, so I don’t think the jungle will show up]
[Isn’t there a bottom duo on the top side?]
Looking at the chat, it seed like everyone was telling to check the bushes.
‘...It shouldn’t be there.’
There’s no way they’d be hiding in the bush.
They’re not that sneaky.
With that thought, I safely walked into the bush—
[You have been slain by the enemy!]
[Nocturne -> Gwen]
“What? You said there wouldn’t be anyone here.”
I was killed instantly.
By the enemy jungle.
Well, to be precise, it was K’Sante, who had joined from behind during the fight.
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Maybe he was there]
[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Or maybe not]
[The important thing is, Gang Hoo-min
