Chapter 205
[Fucking dirty top AD carry bastard lolololol]
[Not only is he shoved under the turret, but getting beaten to go even further back is really pitiful lolololol]
[Hwangso’s second recall entrance lolololol, can’t even take the minion wave that came to the turret and has to go home lololol]
He stands in one spot and shoots bullets blankly. Using the walls on both sides and the turret, he harasses by taking advantage of being able to attack at maximum range.
He gives up a few minions. The opponent can’t even get one.
The slightly elongated bullets flying like that embedded themselves in Hwangso’s body one beat faster than his shield.
“Ah! He’s going home! He has to go again! Player Hwangso!”
“Level 2! While Seojun is level 4, Hwangso just barely hit level 2 and we wonder if he’ll take more, but he has to recall!”
- Really makes you shiver lolololol
- So fucking pitiful lololol
- So this is what top lane is like in a world without jungle......
“So you could harass like this if you brought Grey?”
Penguin said, somewhat admiringly.
It was a combination they hadn’t thought of at all.
Because the AD carries that come top were almost all predetermined, and Grey wasn’t among them.
“I know the difficulty of bouncing off walls is high! But if it’s this good, why don’t users use Grey as a top AD carry!”
Caster Arin asked out of pure curiosity.
It wasn’t to be considerate of viewers or because the chat asked.
So Bangju kindly answered.
“Because it’s a top AD carry.”
“Huh?”
“A top AD carry is actually a presence that both allies and enemies hate.”
“What does that mean?”
- That’s right
- True, it looks good but it’s not actually good
- It’s not for nothing that there are only a few AD carries that go top
“The reason enemies hate it, you can tell just by watching this match.”
At Bangju’s words, Penguin and Taeyang nodded beside him.
“The first reason allies hate a top AD carry is that it ruins the team composition.”
“Ah?”
“Normally, top plays sturdy, comforting heroes like a hearty soup, but a top AD carry is a flimsy paper doll. And one AD carry is enough.”
“Then what’s the second reason?”
“The second reason……. It’s just like how we hate feeding heroes.”
“Huh?”
“Because they’re bad and die a lot.”
In other words, they shit the bed.
Penguin picked up.
“Since a top AD carry is strong in lane, they can’t help but push the lane, and if they push, they become vulnerable to jungle ganks.”
“Aha.”
“On top of that, they’re squishy, so unless they notice the gank beforehand, you can only assume they’ll definitely die.”
And even if they watch the jungle well, the key is harassing, but just the jungle being near top makes them unable to harass.
“So, it’s not a good pick. It’s just a common case where depending on the matchup, situation, and player, it could be a decent strategy or it could be shit.”
That’s how games are.
What’s unconditionally good is bound to get nerfed anyway.
“Then why does it seem broken now? Is it because of the matchup between Seojun’s Grey and Hwangso’s Zerad?”
“No. The matchup is just that Zerad can get hit a bit less and die a bit less, but still getting harassed like this is the correct matchup.”
- lololol
- Ah... this is the Sword God when he’s not on a disadvantageous pick but a powerful one
- Jin Seojun not playing a shit champ ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
“Hmm…….”
“As I said earlier, the key to dealing with a top AD carry is the jungle. So, where is that jungle of Rainbull focusing?”
Arin could quickly derive the answer from the short but still grasped jungle pathing.
- Bot
- Bot
- AD
- Team’s B-class
“I see. But why isn’t he coming top?”
“Hwangso probably said he’d hold on by himself. When he hits level 6, Seojun will also have to be careful, so he won’t be able to pressure like this.”
“Then…….”
“Yes.”
“So Seojun noticed all this from the start and just harassed in front of the turret like just now.”
“Yes. Didn’t I say? Others might not, but Seojun has everything calculated. After all, he didn’t even do the tutorial!”
- lolololol that damn tutorial
- It’s just that the one doing it is a crazy bastard lololol
- So didn’t Hwangso call for it?
“So Hwangso ultimately gank……. Huh?”
Bangju cut off. News flew in from the chat.
- It’s up!
- Gank sign call is up!
- Hwangso: HELP......
- Save me...... lolololol
“Ah! Now! We’ll play Hwangso’s broadcast replay!”
Team voice was set not to be heard in spectator mode.
To protect strategy, if the streamer hides it, it’s not revealed.
However, the fact that viewers relayed the news means it was revealed on stream, so since it’s not hidden, it’s okay to replay the broadcast.
Thus, Hwangso’s call sign played.
[Gank. Please.]
“Ah! Short but powerful! What happens now?”
Arin asked for an explanation.
“Bot is at an advantage anyway. It means instead of holding out, they’ll attack Seojun.”
“If so?”
“It’s become disadvantageous for Seojun. Since the jungle is watching, top Grey is no longer an advantageous pick.”
Grey isn’t even played top AD normally.
He has mobility, but the forced stop every time he attacks makes him bad at escaping.
[Yes. I’ll look for an opening and go. So we’re going for killing top instead of killing bot?]
[Need to be careful. Risk of counter-gank.]
[Counter-gank? When I’m ganking, I’ll lose? No way. Grey isn’t like Kael or Eric. He’s an AD carry. In pick/ban I said going top would be better.]
[Careful.]
[Got it! Then I’ll go help you soon, hyung.]
- Yeah, let’s teach that AD carry bastard a lesson!
- Yes yes yes
- Please, Rainbull top’s 10 consecutive ganks
“The jungle is really confident.”
“I think he can be confident.”
Because Grey isn’t a hero that becomes unstoppable under certain conditions (only possible by Seojun) like Kael or Eric.
“Will Seojun notice? Can he deal with the gank?”
* * *
- lolololol is the streamer believing the jungle isn’t coming at all?
- No but when is the jungle coming!
- Hwangso is too pitiful
- The streamer hit level 7 and Hwangso is level 5 lololol
[Rain is holding on too well. A solo kill seems hard, so I think I’ll roam bot a bit. Alpaca, let’s go together.]
[Jungle, I’ll take this and then go.]
[Yunho, are you doing okay? I’ll roam to your lane soon.]
[Is 3 deaths okay?]
[Rumi, shut up.]
[But I have 0 deaths, right?]
[What kind of support abandons the AD when a gank is coming?]
[What kind of AD doesn’t back off when a gank is coming?]
- They’re talking about gank.
- Does the streamer notice?
- Seems like it’s coming slowly
[But something’s off, the enemy jungle isn’t showing on vision.]
[Is it top? Seojun? How is it?]
[Same.]
He shoots his gun right in front of the turret range. The opponent blocks it.
Hwangso, as if he’s gotten used to it, doesn’t get hit easily now.
So he was getting the experience from the minions the turret kills.
He also occasionally last-hits with the tip of his spear skill.
Bang!
The bullet hits the right wall and reflects exactly, making the same angle of incidence and reflection.
The target is Hwangso’s shoulder.
Pang!
Blocked by the shield.
[Seojun. I think it’d be good to be careful now. No one can cover.]
[It’s fine. They probably won’t come?]
Bang!
This time to the left, it hits the turret instead of the wall and bends.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
He mixes in minions in between, pressuring Hwangso, but he blocks well.
- Not coming? Streamer, they’re coming now
- This bastard doesn’t even place wards lolololol a true alpha
- Doesn’t reveal vision so he doesn’t know if the jungle is coming or not. Then he should play safe but he goes right up to the enemy turret lololol what is he doing!
- This is a bit toplike lolololol
- Toplike = stupid?
- Correct. Accurate
- lolololol
Bang!
“He can’t block everything.”
A bullet lodged in Hwangso’s leg. Blocking everything precisely is too much even for the now accustomed Hwangso.
“This much is enough. And soon the jungle will come. Seojun.”
Enough? Sure.
The word that the jungle is coming is likely true. If they hide it, he’ll notice, so they keep acting like a bluff, but Seojun was anticipating it.
That the jungle would come soon.
Normally, they would have tried to relieve his pressure through the jungle. But as blocking gradually became possible and the level gap narrowed, greed set in.
One kill.
Let’s definitely take it.
And that timing would be the moment Hwangso hits level 6.
‘While we’re at it…….’
How should I play out this game.
If they go in the direction of dragging out the game time, even if they lose the game, they can advance through the group stage.
They say if three teams go 1 win 1 loss, they look at the game time and kill count of the lost game.
So they say if they just don’t take risks, hold out as much as possible, and then lose when pushed, they’ll definitely advance with that loss. It’s an easy method.
But not all team members agreed to this method.
‘I’ll win.’
The best way to win is not simply winning fights, but winning while dealing great damage to the opponent.
And a counter-gank where the jungle comes but still gets beaten is the greatest damage Seojun can cause.
The purpose of Hwangso’s movements changed slightly. That change will become increasingly apparent.
‘They’ve come.’
He steps forward, trying to catch Seojun. Whether by making Seojun attack him or making him dodge.
Even if he uses a skill here, since he came in deep, he’ll end up clashing with the jungle, but Hwangso is thoroughly trying to hold him.
Seojun confirmed the jungle appearing behind and simultaneously poured attacks onto Hwangso.
- It’s here!
- Gank coming
- Streamer’s fucked!!!
Bang!
Bang!
The bullets hit walls and minions and deflected.
Hwangso approached while deflecting with his shield, and Seojun kept attacking from that spot.
Bang!
Hwangso didn’t block this time. Instead, he planted his left foot and thrust his long spear.
[Exploding Spear]
[Spear Throw]
At the same time, the wild predator from behind hurled a spear.
Just before being hit by the tip of Hwangso’s spear, Seojun was able to dodge using a skill.
[Magitech: Blink]
With his gun still aimed, only Seojun’s position changed.
The jungle turned direction, and Hwangso raised his shield again and approached.
“Mobility is down! Go, Hwangso!”
“Careful. Ultimate.”
For a moment, red electricity sparked around like static electricity and then vanished.
[Magitech: Acceleration]
It’s an ultimate that increases movement speed and attack speed. Can be used when an enemy is nearby.
Honestly, with his eye to the scope.
Bang!
He shot towards the body of the opponent who had turned into a leopard.
[Ambush]
The jungle used a leap forward skill. He approaches at high speed.
Bang!
Bang!
The beast approaches.
At the fresh feeling of turning from a hunter in the jungle into prey, Seojun raised the corners of his mouth.
He’s already right in front of him, but moving back is not allowed until he empties this round of shots.
Bang!
And at that moment, the jungle, having turned back into a human, grabbed the spear generated in his hand and swung it.
Whoosh!
After attacking, Seojun, now able to move again, lowered his gun and dodged by stepping back.
And then he takes aim again. At high speed.
Click.
Bang!
The enemy, with a bullet lodged in his body, didn’t care and thrust.
He only has half health left, but it doesn’t seem to matter. He has no choice.
Seojun, like before, lowered his gun, dodged, then aimed again and reloaded.
Click.
Bang!
With minimal, restrained movement.
At high speed thanks to the ultimate.
And.
Hwangso stood beside him.
* * *
How to dodge two spears.
Hwangso learned that clearly for the first time today.
‘Speed is fast. Still. Too broken.’
Dodge, aim, shoot.
Dodge.
Aim and shoot.
He was a tricky opponent to land hits on. If they slipped, they could be the ones to suffer.
Even though it was two of them, the ratio of health they shaved off each other was similar.
Pook!
The tip of Hwangso’s spear precisely aimed at Seojun’s shoulder and successfully struck.
Hwangso smiled with satisfaction and followed the muzzle.
Bang!
To block the enemy’s attack aimed at him.
Pang!
Blocked. The attack was successful.
No matter how strong the enemy, they can’t handle a 2v1.
Unless a hero backs them up.
His HP was critically low. That’s how it is for an ADC. Even a few hits chunk his health hard.
On top of that, now they were even nullifying attacks like this, so no matter how much lifesteal he had...
“Bull! I’m in danger!”
It was then. The jungler shouted from the side.
What’s the problem?
“Huh?”
HP.
The jungler’s health was almost completely gone.
“Even the attacks you blocked—they all hit your shield and came straight at me!”
“Just take one more hit, hyung?”
A crisis.
Fortunately, the jungler didn’t panic and kept swinging his spear, attacking Seo-jun.
‘Level!’
The moment Seo-jun pulled back his attack, dodged the spear, and regained his stance.
Normally he would have aimed for that moment, but this time, Bull spun around and used a skill.
Desperately. He had to kill him as fast as possible.
[Exploding Spear]
The target was an enemy minion.
The area around the spear exploded, killing the minion a few seconds early, and Bull hit level 6 a few seconds early.
He turned back.
The enemy’s gun barrel was honestly trailing the jungler.
Just as Seo-jun was about to pull the trigger with swift, precise movements—
Thanks to buying those few seconds, Bull could use his ultimate at the perfect timing.
‘Done.’
[Pantheon]
The ultimate that drags his enemy into the Hall of Truth.
Into the temple of the gods of war, taking his foe with him.
* * *
“Wow. I seriously almost died.”
The jungler, Caterpillar, exhaled a huge sigh of relief.
In front of him was a glowing mass of light of a certain size.
When Pantheon’s duration runs out or one person dies, someone will emerge from that light.
-Wow almost lost lolol
-The enemy is fighting unbelievably calmly
-For real
-But Caterpillar also did crazy well. If he had run at the end, he would’ve just been hit and died.
-Then Bull would’ve landed his skill and taken him down, but Caterpillar would have died
-Heroic!
-And Bull’s split-second decision was insane too
“Guys, that person is mad.”
Communicating even without seeing chat was the mark of every streamer.
“Hmm. He does have lifesteal, but Bull hyung has the HP advantage for now.”
More than anything, inside Pantheon he’d receive various buffs, while the opponent’s ultimate duration was nearly up.
Even so.
“Wow, if I’d gone Kael, a gank failure might’ve actually happened?”
It was chilling.
Of course, if that were the case, he wouldn’t have ganked. He came because he was the ADC.
“Still, if it’s not possible, it’s not possible. Next time I’ll be more careful and go for a 3-man gank.”
Caterpillar chuckled as he waited. For Pantheon to end.
After a brief wait, the light mass began to glow even brighter, and.
“It’s breaking before the duration ends. Looks like hyung got the kill.”
A human silhouette appeared.
“Huh?”
And that person was aiming a gun at him.
-??
-Why not a spear?
-Why is hyung coming out of there?
-Bull LOL no way you got killed?
-Gunblade technique! Gunblade technique! Gunblade technique! Gunblade technique!
-Is this the Sword God? Is this the Sword God? Is this the Sword God?
Along with the chat of a viewer who was also watching another stream, a bullet flew in.
[Double Kill!]
