Chapter 206

[Gang ascension! Gang ascension is here!]
==
Legend!!
==

-lol
-He’s fighting really well
-Why the fuss?
└Group Stage Game 3, top lane ADC gang ascension appears!
└Oh? That’s actually worth getting excited about. What was the hero?
└Grey
└What?? Who’s the madman taking top lane with Grey?
└Geomsin
└Ah. That makes sense
└lol stop making sense
└Grey is a gun-sword though. So it makes sense
└Yeah lol
└How does someone who knows this stuff not watch the broadcast? What are you doing?
└Working overtime, you bastard
└But Riven’s watching lol
└lol Is he an idiot? Finish up and watch the replay

[A man ascending top lane as ADC ddd]
[You hit five times and take one hit, but a top lane ADC is someone who keeps pace with a hero that has good sustain lol]

[As a top lane maniac I can’t stand this]

I can accept picking it. But winning with it—I absolutely can’t stand that. Aren’t you going to teach him a lesson, caterpillar?
==

-ㅠㅠㅠ
-Guess he really is a top lane maniac lol
-Over-attachment is crazy lol

[It’s not even late game, right? Runes haven’t even dropped, right?]
[A man going Rampage with Grey]
[Wasn’t this all expected??]
[Seo Jun! Seo Jun! Seo Jun! Seo Jun!]

[The game isn’t over yet. Let’s cut the dramatics.]
==
Huh?
==

That was the moment.
A notification rang out through the speakers of the viewers watching the broadcast.

[Double Kill!]
[Wind Sword –> KeyboardIsGood]

[It’s not over? lol Bottom lane got cut too!]

-Wealth Gap’s ADC has 3 Deaths. Don’t you see it? Lainbul is now 1 Death
└Yeah, from here on they’ll keep getting stomped. And the caterpillar can’t help them.
└Why can’t he help? Just leave top
└Hwang So (13 CS) weeping lol
└13 lol
└Anyway the result doesn’t change—they’re still losing

[Since the last game, Bang Ju’s been obsessed with other people’s health—give upvotes lol]
==
Ah lol Try fasting from minions. It’s good for your health.
==

-Fasting man is honestly legendary lol
-Does he hate taking CS that much?
-Don’t mess with Bang Ju you bastards!!!!!!
└But after two wins, Riven is already ours, right?
└Real talk, let’s kick out the Spoon faction and the Beast faction from the Bang-jang faction

[Does this loser who dragged in the Real Room and got his ass handed to him still have fans?]
==
Want to get hit by Gun-Sword? ^^
==

-lol Bang-jang faction!
-Did you know Seo Jun didn’t fire a single shot in the Real Room?
-Just raw sword technique and physicality crushing him
-At first he was doing proper Gun-Sword Technique but then he just held the gun barrel and swung it like a sword lol—anyway it’s Gun-Sword Technique
-Was I the only one waiting for him to strike with the stock?

[lol What Bang Ju said the moment Hwang So used his Ultimate Ability.]
==
“Thank you.”
==

-Ohhh!!!
-Insane!
-lol The opponent practically set up a one-on-one for him?
-But if he hadn’t, wouldn’t the caterpillar have just died anyway?
└He was thanking him for the chance to use Gun-Sword Technique. Either way he’d win.

[Bang Ju’s faction is taking this room. Don’t mess with us.]

-What about the B Group teams’ fans? What are you acting like you own?
└You can complain about that after this game ends. For now, just lose together
└Have a drink~

The Bang-jang Faction—those who called themselves Bang Ju’s fans and messed with Bang Ju in the community—were running wild today.
More aggressively than ever before.
Fans of other teams couldn’t say much in response.
The biggest reason they weren’t getting criticized despite acting like this was, first, that Wealth Gap had won almost every game. Group Stage advancement was basically confirmed.
Losers are naturally silent.
The fact that A Group games were happening in real-time, so B Group viewers weren’t stepping up much, played a role too.
But then why were they coming on so much stronger than usual?

[Compilation of Spoon faction’s toxic remarks over the past 10 days.]
==
[I don’t know about other teams but Wealth Gap’s probably getting destroyed—give upvotes lol Especially Han-ip ^^]
[If they practice like that they’ll get Early Eliminated, right?]
[The Ace just giving up lol Spoon said they found a method but looks like it’s over]
[Honestly Lee Dong-su Caterpillar]

“Cut! And he gets a kill just from Poking!”
“The laser bounces off and hits the caterpillar player right between the eyes as he’s backing away! Intentional, right?”
“He shoots well. Anyone watching would think he’s a Grey expert.”

[Ah. So this is the role of the top lane.]
[That’s not it, Seo Jun. I don’t think that’s top lane.]

Rumi immediately shot back from beside him.
But Seo Jun seemed to brush it off lightly.

[Seems like I’m matching well with that top laner though?]
[Seo Jun’s in a good mood.]
[Looks like it.]
[No though? We should push mid now.]

“This is what happens when a Poking hero grows really well! Seo Jun is showing us exactly that!”
And he’s doing it from the top lane.
“Even if they wanted to stop him, their HP is chipped away before they can even approach!”
Grey’s weakness—inability to move—was useless. They couldn’t get close enough to matter.
There was no sign of a comeback.

[We won!]

“GG!”
Lainbul was pushed down.

* * *

The essence of Rios is a Joint Broadcast—combining your viewers with theirs to create buzz.
And inseparable from Joint Broadcasts is networking.
So it was natural that professionals who’d networked there would gather when the Group Stage began.
Of course, their gathering wasn’t anything like an offline meetup.
They belonged to a profession dominated by young people.
So they were networking Gen-Z style—meeting up on voice chat and chatting.

[Two wins! We’re done!]
[Congrats.]
[Tsk. I knew this was coming.]
[A Group will be fighting for second place.]

Baek Do-yul listened to his colleagues’ conversation and thought.
‘He does play well.’

[This Grey didn’t have anything special to him, just textbook play.]
[Grey Kiting is hard though—you gotta dodge and stop and shoot and dodge and stop and shoot.]

It was Pebble, their ADC, speaking.

[He played well.]
[His body didn’t twist in weird ways.]
[That guy would never twist……]
[Dong-su’s riding the player train?]
[Actually that’s good, right?]
[What’d you even do?]
[Um…… Bringing our team’s jungle over to introduce him. Standing in the same spot as the players, experiencing the same things, boosting solidarity?]
[I get the first part but what the hell is the second part?]

‘Trusting Seo Jun alone. That’s probably why they were playing around for 10 days.’
Baek Do-yul thought that was completely possible.
This was the man he’d marked as his rival.
If Seo Jun had entered a streamer tournament, his odds of winning would have been extremely high—it’d probably be the same.
But.
‘Even just looking at today, there were several chances where they could’ve lost.’
If Spoon had noticed?
If they’d kept watching the opponent’s Chain’s damage output carefully and realized something was off?
If Hwang So hadn’t been careful even in the pick phase and waited until the last pick?
If they’d picked a counter hero to top lane ADC then?
‘They’d definitely have a tough time even then.’
But their odds of winning would’ve been high.
This was a strategic battle.
That’s why Baek Do-yul was smiling confidently. Waiting.
When the team he’d helped and made strategies for met Seo Jun, they would win.
That way he could snatch the first win in the proxy match.
But three hours later.

[Ah! Did Ji-pal Ji-kkwon really just beat Heavy Mental!!!!!]

Baek Do-yul’s lips began to tremble slightly.
