Chapter 27: Refining Strengths: A Tactical Review of Yu Sieun’s Gameplay.

I had been recording the parts that Yu Sieun herself said were her problems while listening to Yu Sieun’s words.

I had also opened the text file that I had written separately while watching Yu Sieun’s broadcast earlier.

I was going to tell Yu Sieun about the recorded points and talk about each part.

“Unnie. First of all, shall we look at the first game from 4 minutes?”

I picked up the cup on one side of the desk, took a sip of water, and began to pour out my words.

“First of all… Like you said earlier, unnie, you need to reduce the wildness, or something like that.

To be exact, it’s not reducing it, it’s delicately refining it.”

“In the case of Game 1, it exploded at the top, right? The basis was also that you knew that the opponent’s jungle was taking the bottom route with the wards.”

“You used strength at the top. So the bottom should be careful even if it loses! This is too versatile to say, so it’s honestly not always accurate.

When you were looking at this part earlier, you said that you should have been a little more careful at this time while talking about that, but I don’t think that’s the case. Right up to here, it was okay.”

“But trying to hit one more hit here is a bit of a stretch. It ends exactly half and half, but this exchange is not good. Looking only at the HP, it’s half and half, but in the later situation.”

“And, I think you should catch the timing of going home a little more neatly and accurately.

You manage the lane well, but sometimes the timing of pushing, pulling, and recalling is a few seconds slow. Would you look at 9 minutes once?”

“At this time. It’s true that the lane is ambiguous, but it would be good to just eat the cannon minion and one melee minion and recall, right? It’s greedy to try to push it completely.

You said you had to make it half and half, but it’s definitely right to just erase a few minions even if a few minions are stuck in the turret and recall. It’s the opponent’s dragon anyway.”

“And there’s one more thing I want to say, you can use the support like a tool in this kind of tournament.

It’s Crinex-nim. At times like 15 minutes 11 seconds… Yes, there. Even if you go home, don’t send the support home and have them wait, and when the opponent pushes and recalls, have them come out of the bush and freeze the lane.

It’s ridiculous for the opponent to cancel the recall, and if they don’t cancel, they’ll lose a little, right?”

“The return timing will be a little messed up, but it’s okay since the lane will be pulled anyway if you do this.

The opposing team can’t aim for that either.

This is something that can be done easily, but you can miss it.

It’s okay if it’s solo rank, but since the bot duo tier is different, you have to tell them about this kind of lane management. If you haven’t thought about it… you can just know it now.”

“I don’t have anything to say when we get to the later operation or teamfight stage.

But I can see a little anguish in the last teamfight before the surrender… If this happens, you don’t have to deal damage.

It looks like the thoughts, ‘Oh, this looks dangerous’ and ‘Ah, I have to deal damage’ are fighting. But it was dangerous because the side that said ‘I have to deal damage’ was stronger.”

“Anyway, this game was exploded by the top side, so it didn’t matter much, but if you’re going to decide, you have to do it for sure.

It’s better to choose only one side and take only 1 profit than to mix 2 profits and losses.

I wouldn’t have anything to say if you positioned yourself forward so that the focus doesn’t go to Jayce. But I wouldn’t have done that if it was me.”

In the case of Game 1, even if there were inaccuracies, it was not a game where there were many mistakes or faults that could be said to be Yu Sieun’s.

I could see the mindset that she was enduring in a state where she shouldn’t expect team investment.

Therefore, I simply ended by telling her about the excessively shrunk parts and the minor inaccuracies in the operation.

The side with many problems to talk about was Game 2.

As I and Yu Sieun had felt, I had to talk about the reckless plays that the player EunSiyuSieun had shown in the second game.

In these parts, it was important to exchange thoughts with each other and talk about even the delicate parts.

Simply saying, “This is reckless,” because it looked wrong in my eyes without any delicate questions and answers, would not reach Yu Sieun.

Even if she forcibly accepted it, it would only have a bad effect on Yu Sieun.

The keyword “reckless” should not be etched into the senses that Yu Sieun has built up so far.

Eliminating unstable strengths is not the direction of development.

You have to reduce the instability in your strengths.

Stabilizing things that can be wielded but must be handled dangerously was the principle that all fields of technology develop.

Therefore, unlike Game 1, where I was talking alone, I led the conversation by actively asking questions to Yu Sieun.

“At 3 minutes 10 seconds, you just skipped it, but there’s something I think I should say.”

“Here?”

Yu Sieun put the part I was talking about on the screen.

It was a simple scene.

The level 2 support Meokai was walking into an open space to eat the cannon minion, and after being hit by the opponent’s support’s grab, he died as he was.

After the situation, which lasted about 7 seconds, ended, I told Yu Sieun to stop the video and asked her a question.

“Yes. You might not have seen it, but in the chat window at this time, there were so many chats saying that Crinex-nim was already being dragged and killed. Did you happen to think, ‘Oh, why is he being dragged?'”

“Hmm…. I don’t know well. I think it’s true that he was dragged while trying to hit the cannon with Targon’s Brace. But….”

“It’s true that Meokai is regrettable. You also had an opening, but you couldn’t tell them that it’s dangerous at the moment because you thought you could just cancel it with W when the grab comes, right? But that’s for Master people… Crinex-nim is Bronze.”

“I’m not saying that you did wrong because you didn’t tell them that. This is not the core that I want to say either. I just wanted to tell you to give the support a little more space.”

“You do stand accurately while holding the minions, but you’re close to the support.

You keep positioning like this, so your bodies keep overlapping with the support. Even if you grab a little higher, the grab angle doesn’t come out the same, but your body is leaning downwards.

It’s like a habit. It’s like that when you hold it with the turret later too. You have to recognize this side.

Like this… You keep clicking downwards after hitting a basic attack. It’s trivial, right? But it’s quite a bad habit.”

“Ah….”

When Yu Sieun made a sound that she had felt something, I continued the progress to the part I would talk about next.

“It comes out one more time at 8 minutes… You also said that this was a mistake earlier, right? That you thought wrong.

That’s also true, but looking at it now, you’re naturally leaning downwards while holding the cursor to trade damage.

That’s why you get entangled together with the support.”

“When I saw your personal screen earlier, I saw you spamming E right after the basic attack went out? But whether you thought about dodging the feather with movement or not, it’s also true that it’s wrong, but the positioning is more of a mistake.

It’s true that you want to roll it more with the gank being successful, but you don’t need to try to do a damage trade that doesn’t have the right size.

There are two things similar to this… You saw it yourself earlier, so I won’t say it.”

“And in the end… the last teamfight that ends the game.

What I felt was that you’re using E too much only for dodging skills.

It’s true that you’re good at dealing damage aggressively from the front, but there are times when that itself is not necessary.”

“You can just press E to get the buff and hit it from the back, right? There’s a Challenger tank standing in the front line.

Since they’re giving you the damage angle, if you just pressed E and got the attack speed buff instead of grabbing a position that’s difficult to pull off and having the E skill as a survival skill, the opponent’s front line would have already died here.

The damage was a little short, right? Since you’re going to keep hitting basic attacks anyway, the E cooldown will be back here when the distance is narrowed anyway.

So you’re using it twice, but since you’re trying to use it only as a survival skill, there’s a loss of damage.”

“And Younggiron-nim dies… It was good to see the back angle here, but if you’re going to ride the ultimate, you have to ride it a little higher… Is this a little too trivial?

In fact, if you say that you rode it to grab the structure towards Hyungeuk-nim, I can understand it.

But in your position, it’s not peeling the front line and hitting the dealer, it’s just a place where you get hit together with the opposing team.”

“Well, Hyungeuk-nim swept it up after you died, so this judgment is also right. Since Hyungeuk-nim is also organizing and coming up anyway, I think it would have been a little more stable to win if you spread out to both sides.”

Thinking that I had finished everything I had to say about these two games, I ended by taking out one of the things I had felt so far to Yu Sieun.

“Where you’re standing and putting in skills or basic attacks is still almost perfect now, of course. But there are many times when the place where you’re standing itself is a little regrettable. You die or live regrettably because of that, and your contribution is lowered.

It’s good to take a lot of risks, but it has to be based on detailed judgment, not emotion.

If you fix just this… I think you can definitely raise 300 points more. People originally can’t go up because they’re only safe. But you’re the opposite.”

“Haa… It’s really all right. Leaning the body forward or downwards…”

Yu Sieun did not say anything for a while after finishing reviewing the last teamfight – team-unit battle – of Game 2.

She was probably looking back on everything she had heard so far.

It was after about 1 minute had passed that Yu Sieun, who was turning the replay of the last teamfight here and there, opened her mouth again.

“Eunsol. But you… didn’t you say you were Diamond?”

I thought for a moment that I was going to hear the words “Master or below are prohibited from giving advice” from Yu Sieun, but Yu Sieun was not such an unconscionable person.

“It’s all right. No, it’s that it’s all so accurate that’s why. Why are you Diamond…? Can’t you just go up if you’re an AD Carry? Or maybe that, your fingers-“

Instead of saying, “No, what are you saying, unnie,” to Yu Sieun, I was thinking of doing what Yu Sieun had wanted from me.

I opened my mouth before Yu Sieun thought of me as a pitiful person whose fingers couldn’t keep up with her head.

“…Um, unnie.”

“Ugh, cancel what I just said…!”

“Actually, I’ve met unnie.”

“Huh?”

“I’m really, really absolutely not sniping, but I had been playing the game while watching unnie’s broadcast when I was raising my score….”

I continued speaking slowly.

It was a bit embarrassing because it seemed like it was a cliché situation, like a loser who had hidden his strength, or something like that.
