Episode 212
-Wah lolololol
-I'm watching both streams but the flow is so fast I can't tell what's what, but the streamer noticed this in-game?
-So who baited whom?
-Keril set a trap and the streamer caught on to it.
-What trap!!!
The enemy top laner, jungler, and Windsword who had teleported home all arrive at one spot.
It started as 3 versus 3, but in an instant five people gathered in front of the Dragon.
Seojun with his ultimate.
The other three with the Teleport spell.
-Kyle deliberately ordered a very obvious gank on the top lane far from Dragon with the jungler.
-Yeah.
-The command there was to fight and then pretend to go home on low health.
-Kyle you crazy bastard.
-LOL indeed.
Keril tried to bait the Rich-Poor Gap by making the jungler and top laner deliberately lose a fight and appear to go home.
From Rich-Poor Gap's perspective.
While engaging in a war of nerves over Dragon, the enemy jungler and top blatantly fought then went home. It takes time for them to come back.
So we can take Dragon.
3 versus 3 you say?
But we have Card Master's ultimate anyway, making it 4 versus 3, so the enemy probably can't engage recklessly.
-So go for Dragon, is what that was.
-Ah.
-What Keril aimed for there was Teleport.
Hey.
Rich-Poor Gap, you thought there were four of you and planned to take Dragon comfortably, huh?
We're picking a fight.
Why pick a fight when it's 4 versus 3?
-Because of Teleport. Top and jungle instantly join in front of Dragon from base with Teleport. Then it's 5 versus 4.
-Whoa.
-But isn't it a bit much to buy spells on three people? What about their growth?
-Instead, if we get 4 kills now, and the B-rank ADC Tree gets to pick up some kills properly, and we take Dragon. And if we utilize Teleport a few times later on.
-It's advantageous?
-Yeah.
-Getting an advantage is freaking hard lololololololol
-But if it works, you win, right?
-And they almost pulled it off, right?
-A move that was insanely hard to predict, right?
4 kills plus Dragon. And future macro plays using the Teleport spell.
Finally, buying spells was on E-rank, D-rank, and the support, which more than compensates for the hindered growth.
No, it's actually beneficial.
That is, only if everything had gone according to plan.
-Then if they used 3 spells but lost this fight, wouldn't they be screwed?
-Yeah, they got screwed.
* * *
"Ah! Windsword! Teleports immediately as per Seojun's call!"
"He waited at base, saw the enemy actually executing the 5 versus 4 strategy, and immediately bought the Teleport rune. The moment of complete counter."
When Windsword suggested pushing the turret, Seojun had seen through it all early on and told Windsword to go home.
And wait at base, and if the enemy teleported in to join, buy Teleport immediately and join too.
That's how the 5 versus 5 teamfight came to be.
"How did Seojun figure it out?"
Arin asked.
-Ah lol, he didn't fall for the trap.
-For real, his judgment is super fast!!
-Those who mocked him for giving up the turret plates and going home, hands up?
-I believed in him all along!
"The enemy focusing only on saving gold, Keril disappearing for a moment, and lastly, the situation flowing too favorably made him suspect once more."
"Can you really deduce that? The evidence seems a little weak?"
"But he didn't tell Windsword to buy Teleport immediately, did he? He could at least be suspicious."
"That's true! Still, to give up the turret plates without hesitation in that situation?"
"The risk of getting caught 4 versus 5 was calculated in 0.1 seconds, and that risk was bigger. That's exactly what's amazing! The suspicion, the risk assessment! Keril must be flustered. He noticed this?"
-I see.
-His judgment is just godlike lolol
-Wah!
"5 versus 5 teamfight. Oh dear. They're losing. ZipZipCon."
"Not only was their desperate strategy seen through, but Seojun's skill, Green Card, landed on Tree! If they had even a numerical advantage, it might have been okay for Tree to get targeted, but in a 5 versus 5, this is a huge loss, isn't it?"
Penguin added to the cast's commentary.
"A teamfight is about focus fire! And Seojun's card picking was art!"
Using Jack the Card Master's skill Shuffle makes three colored cards appear in sequence and rotate around him.
Then the player picks and throws the desired colored card.
Usually the additional effects vary by color, and since the rotating cards don't stop, quickly picking and throwing the desired card is one measure of a Jack player's skill.
Seojun instantly picked a green card.
Upon hit, after 3 seconds, it applies sleep (same as stun but a crowd control that takes time before the status effect kicks in).
Arin watched the teamfight and asked again. When something she thought viewers would be curious about came to mind, and if the casters missed it, asking it is her role.
"Is 5 versus 5 and 4 versus 5 that different? Why did Keril try so hard to tie up Windsword even a little recklessly?"
"Of course it is. The ADC is still weak and the A-rank is support. They absolutely must exclude B-rank Windsword."
But they couldn't.
The result?
"Ah! Teamfight ace!"
"They take Dragon too and the game swings heavily! ZipZipCon! Taking off!"
"And here the enemy's growth is also delayed, right? Unless they use Teleport exceptionally well, the gap will widen. Even if they use Teleport well next time, the game has already become difficult."
* * *
[Wah! How on earth did you predict them using two Teleports there?]
==
If it were me, ah lol, I'd be like Keril is such an idiot, why gank top there, Dragon is free, turret plates are free lololololol
==
-Jin Seojun, is that you?lolol
└For real lol
-He doesn't underestimate the opponent lololol
-If an opponent who isn't an idiot does something idiotic, isn't the basic to suspect something?
└Easy to say, you bastard, in words it's easy.
└Agreed, the person who wrote that comment would probably be spacing out and then get wiped instantly if they played.
-It's insanely impressive.
[It's also amazing how Keril suddenly put together that plan]
==
Right at the timing to prepare for the Dragon fight, he suddenly started issuing orders and devising a plan.
Not even mentioning the guy who saw through it at a glance.
==
-I think they had in mind beforehand to buy spells first to win and then seize the game's momentum.
└Yeah, when Alpaca counter-jungled early on, the top laner tried not to get involved in the fight. It seemed like they just wanted to scale at least.
└What nonsense is that?
└It means Keril already planned to utilize the timing where they buy spells but can't buy skill enhancements!
└I get that, but stfu lol what about the first gank?
└Hmm! Because it's Keril.
[When Alpaca went for the counter-jungle at the enemy red early on]
==
ZipZipCon's top didn't go to help. He just pretended to.
Not just then. They played very defensively the whole game. Even the bottom lane.
If there was a possibility of taking a loss, they didn't even attempt anything.
If ZipZipCon's goal was for the support Keril and the D, E ranks to gather gold as quickly and safely as possible to at least buy spells.
And to start rolling the advantage from the Dragon teamfight, then it makes sense.
==
-So that's why top didn't bother going to stop Alpaca's counter-jungle. They could get 1 kill, but if it went wrong, they'd give 2 kills or get beaten by Windsword and have to go home, which could mess up their growth.
-It's a bit ambiguous.
└Only Keril would know this.
-If this is actually true and Jin Seojun saw even this far, that's creepy.
└That's going too far.
└Who knows.
[So what does ZipZipCon do now?]
==
It completely tipped over.
5 kills secured.
Dragon.
3 positions with delayed growth because they bought spells.
Ugh lololololol
==
-If it had succeeded, all of that would have been ours, ugh lololol
-ZipZipCon, farewell ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Cut the upset merchants!
-It was practically a Teleport cheese build lololololol
└It's indeed a build to cheese a win lololol Cheers~
Just as viewers predicted, the strategy using surprise spells was indeed one Keril had prepared beforehand.
He judged the situation and thought it would work, laid the groundwork, but was blocked by an opponent who noticed.
Now, in every option that follows, ZipZipCon became disadvantageous.
However, Keril did not give up.
[Even though they're this far behind, they're holding on and trying hard lolol]
Somehow utilizing the two Teleports.
But Seojun didn't give them even a sliver of an opening.
Anyway, they also had one Teleport, and Seojun himself had his ultimate, so most of the advantages could be neutralized.
Keril waited for Seojun to make a mistake, but Seojun took objectives without any mistakes.
[They fought well ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Cut the upset merchants! Cut the upset merchants! Cut the upset merchants! Cut the upset merchants!]
[Macro play <-- this ain't nothing special after all]
==
You think not? A newbie's macro skill is similar to Keril's lololol
==
-Not all newbies are the same newbie lol
-But I'm curious.
└About what?
└Is the streamer's understanding of the game high, or is his understanding of people high?
And then a new topic came up among those who realized the game was hard to overturn.
[It's understanding of the game that's correct]
==
Look, he's never been at a disadvantage from the ban/pick phase.
He's just a god.
==
-But didn't he not lose in ban/pick just because his physical skills are so good he can't lose no matter what?
└I think this is right.
[It's that he knows people insanely well]
==
Dude, don't you know Dungum?
Don't you know Erik?
==
-This is it.
-But looking at how he sets up jungle paths or places wards, his understanding isn't ordinary.
└Maybe he took an intensive course?
└I'm telling you, that alone isn't enough lololol
[Honestly, if the streamer revealed his past as a former Purple Panty Villain, I feel like I'd just believe him.]
-Ah lol, someone quits capsule for a few years, resets, gets reborn as a streamer and skyrockets? Come on, no way, damn lololol
└Wow, now that you mention it, why didn't I think of this? Was he really a Purple Panty Villain in his past life!
└You're the only one who didn't think of it.
While people chatted, the fourth dragon appeared on the map.
When you take the Dragon buff four times, the buff's performance jumps dramatically, and Rich-Poor Gap was already at three dragons.
Keril's last hope.
"If this ambush succeeds here, and then we succeed five more times after that, the game will just barely become even."
Actually no, it was just a last desperate struggle. They hid in a bush.
Just to succeed in his strategy even once.
Everyone except the bottom lane hid in one bush.
"This time, they didn't give any tell whatsoever. They didn't even make plays to induce the opponent in any way that could be deduced. Hahaha."
"Indeed!"
"Keril, fight on!"
Having been blocked entirely all game, the teammates reached a state of just enjoying themselves.
The final struggle.
To win the game, they'd have to pull this off five more times, which could never happen.
"Even the goal itself is just to get one over on that Seojun hyung, so I think it won't be read."
Taewoo thought as he watched Keril ramble on next to him.
'You scoundrel, you've trampled the budding sprout after all.'
You bastard!
Soon, Keril spotted through their planted ward that Seojun was coming this way and said.
"He's coming."
Indeed, as Keril said, Seojun coming this way proved that Keril's eye for the game wasn't lacking.
Seojun gradually approached where they were hiding.
"Okay, get ready. ...Huh?"
Seojun's expression subtly changed for a moment, then he stopped. He was exactly at the edge of their range.
"What? Did he notice?"
Taewoo said carefully.
"I don't think so."
"Just one more step! Please!"
But Seojun didn't move a muscle. He just tilted his head with a subtle expression.
Soon, Seojun spoke.
"Hmm? This is dangerous."
They were horrified.
"Nah, no way?"
"What is it? Is there a ward here?"
"No."
After thinking for a moment, Seojun chuckled and muttered to himself. He must be speaking to his viewers.
"Everyone, I think I should use my ultimate? Where are they?"
-Wow, shiver.
-Sensing killing intent!
-Wow lololol
-His sense is damn good lololololololol
-This is game sense.
Seojun stared at the brush they were hiding in.
"Did he use his ultimate?"
"Not yet?"
"Ah. This crazy bastard."
Taewoo let out a sigh.
He dodges this too.
Taewoo came out of the brush. The three hiding in the brush had resigned themselves by now, and Seojun backed off for a moment.
"Oh? They really were there?"
Taewoo took a deep breath and shouted.
"Why did heaven give birth to...!"
-Why did heaven!lolololololol
-Give birth to me, Zhou Yu, and then Zhuge Liang!!!!
-Oh heavens!
-Why did it give birth to Jin Seojun?
"Lee Dongsu, Kim Harang, Baek Doyul, Taker, Pebble, Dokkaebi, Pado, Hwango..."
Taewoo listed every person in the tournament with a higher tier than him, then clenched his fist.
"...Windsword and Jin Seojun together!"
He looked genuinely wronged.
-He's going even further, this madman lololololol
-Rather than them not giving birth, maybe it would've been cleaner if Taewoo just hadn't been born.
-For real lol
* * *
[Sensing killing intent is insane]
[Sensing killing intent, what the fck lololol Is he a real assassin?]
[Even Taewoo bought Teleport and it was a perfectly sudden, flawless ambush, but he survives that on instinct alone]
[Strongest in League Travel, I acknowledge it!]
-Dokkaebi still has one round left.
└Lol (OP)
└What's with that reaction, fck.
└Lol (OP)
└Basically means the Bat Corps aren't even worth dealing with lolololol
"Facing that? Is that possible?"
"...How did we beat them last time?"
Listening to his teammates talk, Dokkaebi was laughing.
He was just laughing.
