Chapter 42: The Dinosaurs That Hit The Ground

Mid-game.

“Okay, just push this lane and go down immediately.”

The state of the canyon, where dozens of fierce battles of the Bronzes unfolded, was truly messed up.

[ 31 vs 26 ]

It’s only been thirty minutes since the game started, but I don’t know where the deaths are coming from, but both teams combined had more than 1 death per minute.

“Okay, after pushing the lane and coming down, what should I do?”

Then, our Bronze viewer finally pinged the large monster’s nest.

—Wow
—True’s human victory
—She taught the headbutting dinosaur how to headbutt well
—lololol
—Considering how he couldn’t join the dragon fight earlier and just pushed the bottom lane and couldn’t even break the tower and died…
—He improved
—You go up

It’s good to keep opening engagements in the early game.

You can lose them all.

But pushing the side alone as a mid laner is not qualified.

“Now, plant a control ward there, and wait until everyone comes.”

Of course, my prediction was wrong.

Someone did come, but the problem was that it wasn’t the viewer’s team.

—????
—Why would the AD Carry put his body in a bush without vision?
—So good

—lolololol
—This…Bronze?

The opponent’s AD Carry, who ate the monster buff at the bottom of the Twisted Forest to get a monster buff alone, suddenly pushed his body into the bush where the viewer was hiding, and the opponent’s AD Carry died.

“Then eat the dragon now! Gather in the mid and advance. Just ignore the opponent and push.”

The opponent’s top and mid are pushing the top and bottom respectively, regardless of the death of the AD Carry, so it was right to push the mid and call the opponent.

“…Huh?”

But the problem was that they didn’t come even when called.

2nd turret, mid inhibitor, twin towers.

Finally, to the Nexus.

This wasn’t a problem with the sharpness of my order, it was literally a victory.

—lolololol
—They don’t block this
—Are they throwing?
—Info) The opponent’s AD Carry and mid are a duo and have 55 wins and 57 losses this season
—Local lol
—It was just a pure skill issue
—lololol

“Um…I won’t watch from Silver.”

—She’s so shocked
—True…
—I understand
—It could happen
—Honestly, I wouldn’t want to watch either
—It’s better to play solo queue without watching that than to have my eyes and brain rot
—lololol

“Shall we just play a game of solo queue?”

—Go go go
—Let’s go
—This is it
—Traditional and historical solo queue broadcast go
—Tradition and history (less than 6 months)
—Um lol
—Looking at it this way, True’s growth rate really doesn’t make sense.
—True
—You came early, so stay for a long time…

Anyway, after finishing the dizzying spectating, I started solo queue for my account.

The tier is, of course, Challenger. The top tier.

Since it’s a section where pro players are stationed, it’s usually easy to get a match if you play late at night.

As expected, the match was caught immediately after a short time.

“Ah.”

The problem was that I got the secondary position, top.

—Type can I mid
—lololol
—Ah lol I’ll carry lol
—(No fabrication)
—It’s Fraud in mid?
—????
—Wow
—Pick a tank and just lie down
—The opponent’s mid is Filodog and the top is Fluke lol
—An uncle sneaked in between the ST gathering…
—Confirmed to be treated coldly
—lolololol

I checked the viewers’ chat and wrote in the team chat window without hesitation.

[ST True#KR1: Can I Mid]
[Happy Toad: No~]

—Rejected immediately
—lolololol
—Mr. Mr. Mr. Fraud, it seems that the stuffed animal he gave True after meeting her last time worked
—True
—Usually, he doesn’t even react like that
—Honestly, who can resist if you meet in person, play a game, and even shake hands?
—Um…
—Everyone take your hands off the keyboard
—I’ve been sued!
—You damn, break your keyboard
—lolololol

[What, the opponent’s top is True? Is this real?]
[Hey, I’ll never go easy on her. Mid…I don’t know, but I have to win in top.]

It seems that Fluke recently started broadcasting, and reactions are already starting to come in through videos.

“Well, so let’s have a real match, right?”

—lolololol
—Info) It was True who threw Fluke to the top
—Is that true?
—Fact) True
—It’s a semi-official story lol
—??? : Please don’t take this away from me
—My self-esteem, pride
—Top
—lololol

So I entered the ban-pick window.

[Fiora]

Without hesitation, I picked an assassin champion as the first pick.

“They won’t back down and come in, right?”

I’m ready.

—Wow
—She picks it right away
—What if she gets countered
—Surely, they wouldn’t do that with a conscience.

[Nasus]

“Ah, really, Fluke, this…”

Even so, meeting a colleague in solo queue and picking like that is ridiculous.

If you look for fun when playing in the future, I’ll turn it around.

I made that resolution and gritted my teeth.

—lolololol
—The line of a real man X
—The line of a real woman O
—Is that a counter?
—Yeah
—If you level up E and click on the field, Nasus can easily eat the lane
—Even the late-game value is won by Nasus lol
—The top lane where you have to pay close attention to the top matchup, always have to get the last pick, and if you don’t get ganked, you get sulky and throw = Top.

Anyway, the ban-pick was over.

So the game started.

“I can’t avoid this even in first-person.”

No matter how much I avoid projectiles that I can’t avoid in first-person perspective, I was helpless against what was laid on the ground.

—??? : It’s your skill~
—You have to hit the field, what can you do, True
—lolololol
—But the laning phase is really easy
—Is that right?
—E click Q click stack lol

So, while we were sweating and taking minions.
The support came to visit top.

The reason why the support came up was easy to see from the number of deaths in the bottom.

What everyone expected was the victory and defeat decided after a bloody sword fight in the top or mid, but the reality is that everything is decided out of the blue.

“No, what should I do if the opponent’s AD Carry already has 2 cores?”

It’s only been a little over fifteen minutes, is this right?

—Wake up? Wake up? Wake up? Wake up? Wake up?
—The opponent’s AD Carry is Challenger and True’s side is Master
—Why did they get matched then?
—Ask the game company
—??? : Most are bugs
—Damn lol True’s MMR and Fraud’s MMR are so high
—That’s too much, really
—How do we stop that if it comes up?

Fraud tried to stab the bottom once, but they somehow defended the 2nd tower and had to return with more than half HP.

And top, well.

As always, once you’re a pushover in top lane, you’re the lunchbox of the opponent’s laner and hunter.

I could only tremble as I saw the black and white window that popped up again.

—lolololol
—This is right for top
—lololol
—In solo queue, a line that doesn’t affect the game’s outcome unless it’s really ruined lol
—Fluke is laughing so hard right now
—Thumbs up if Fluke is happy to protect his pride

But in the meantime, Fraud, who had been growing steadily somehow, managed to do something.

[ Want to go to Challenger -> Hide in bush ]

The 1000 bounty AD Carry was caught by Fraud.

“It was said that if the game is ruined, you should hold onto Fraud’s pants and endure.”

From then on, I did only two things.

Push the lane, and follow Fluke.

I minimized his influence in team fights, and subtly interfered with him to slow down his stacking speed.

As Fraud ate the bounty gold and overwhelmed Filodog beyond recovery, the balance was somewhat matched and the game time became longer.

—They’re equalizing this?
—They’re really headbutting each other
—Meanwhile, the top-level players are only taking CS
—lolololol
—Actually, the royalty is top and the rest are doing a circus
—lololol

And at the moment when the opponent who ate three dragons ate the fourth dragon and ran to the bottom to get a large monster buff.

“…Huh?”

Fluke suddenly used teleport to the bottom and joined the team fight.

And at the same time.

A sniper ping sent by Fraud.

The target is the Nexus.

“Hmm. Shall we trust the team for the first time in this game for the engagement on our side?”

—????
—Not going?
—Pushing this?
—lolololol
—You’re out of your mind because you got beaten in top
—Nasus is breaking our AD Carry’s head
—Fact) Actually, there’s not much difference in overall damage even without that guy
—lololol
—It’s scary because Nasus even used his ultimate

I ignored the reactions in the chat window and pushed the tower hard, triggering the demolition rune.

2nd tower, tower in front of the inhibitor, top inhibitor, and twin turrets.

—Why aren’t they coming
—Now the opponent is entering True’s base
—Is this who ends it first?
—First of all, there are two opponents, but Nasus’s ultimate is gone and there’s one support, so it’s ambiguous
—Can we really win this?

With Fraud’s aggro ping-pong and intentionally dragging out the team fight, they lost, but it not only prevented the opponent’s return but also bought me time to push.

One twin.

And the second twin.

Now all that’s left is the Nexus.

I hit the Nexus hard, alternating between first-person and third-person while spamming the skill that strengthens basic attacks.

“Phew.”

So.

The viewing angle didn’t go down and the Nexus in front of me exploded.

—Argh
—They win this?
—What’s the difference between this and Bronze solo queue earlier?
—I don’t know
—This headbutting dinosaur…
—She says it as if it’s not her, but she’s actually the worst…
—lololol
—Actually, even when playing games, True is the first to headbutt.

“Ahem. Earlier was mindless, and now…”

Hmm.

Maybe there’s not much difference.

After thinking about it for a moment, I immediately changed the subject.

“I’ll be back in a moment.”

—Where are you going
—You’re not going to play another game after this game
—Me
—Down
—Me
—Down
—Me
—Down

“Yes. I’m really going down.”

—???
—Where are you going
—Are you going to tease Fluke?
—Um lolololol
—?? : You’re not good at top
—She’s seeing this angle
—Air raid alert
—Ah lol if you lost, accept it

I got up from my seat and ran downstairs.
