Chapter 48: Please delete the champion.

Recently, my condition was at its worst while scrimming.

I was adjusting my menstrual cycle to match the game schedule, so the side effects were a bit severe.

‘I don’t feel good.’

Actually, during the season, I just went without taking medicine.

In the first place, since menstrual pain is also pain, the VR device itself blocks related pain during the game, so there is no such thing as not being able to play because of pain during the game.

However, like Fraud’s wrist, it affects daily life.

When the hormonal influence is added to such a condition, it is natural to affect my in-game play.

In fact, there were a few times when the flash reaction was a little slow.

As such, I was adjusting the cycle by taking medicine right before the start of this playoff.

From the playoffs, it’s unavoidable as I could suddenly drop if I’m not careful.

Especially when I have to carry the log.

The pharmacist said that I shouldn’t take this kind of thing already, but it’s a hundred times better than being sick on the day, so what can I do.

[ Defeat ]

Leaving behind the defeat screen that I haven’t seen a few times this season except for solo queue, I smiled and opened my mouth.

“Adjusting the menstrual cycle is really difficult. Right?”
“Why are you telling us that, you crazy…b*tch!”

Starting with Strike, everyone’s faces turned red and they looked away, making them look good to tease.

Honestly, even if it was me in the past, I would have been like that, so I understand the reaction itself.

I understand.

“Still, it’ll be okay when we play against Milky Way, so isn’t that good?”
“How do you know that?”
“I didn’t know either, but as I got used to it, I got a feeling.”
“……”

I don’t know why they look at me with that look.

It’s a signal that my body instinctively sends, so I can’t analyze it.

“Anyway, for now, you don’t have to worry about the scrim results. Eun Seol. Just maintain your senses moderately. Okay?”

Even though we are currently on a 4-game losing streak in scrims, the coach encouraged me and said so.

‘…Or is it?’

Maybe he’s just sure that if I’m fine, there won’t be any problems when playing, whether it’s 4 consecutive losses or 40 consecutive losses.

Anyway, I’ll have to release the humiliation of the scrim on Milky Way.

The day of the playoff 3rd round winner’s bracket match.

[Okay, today, the 3rd round winner’s bracket match, where the team that will wait in the finals first will be decided, ST and Milky Way S’s players enter side by side.]

[There were many rumors that ST’s True had a health problem recently, but seeing her smiling brightly, I think the fans can put their worries aside!]

As I entered the stadium in a state completely free from the clutches of menstruation, there were many fans chanting my name today.

“True, fighting!”
“I believe in you!”
“Eun Seol, fighhtiiiiing!”

Eun Chae, who seemed to have realized the meaning of a neutral seat alone, was seen in a place full of Milky Way fans.

She was wearing a Milky Way uniform inside and an ST windbreaker on the outside, cheering loudly.

“Your sister is very lively.”
“She’s my friend. I don’t know her.”
“Wow.”

Envy, who was walking side by side next to me, immediately turned his head.

As expected, the average speed of siblings cutting off is faster than rolling a snowball.

I’ll have to take revenge on Eun Chae along with the vent of the scrim.

[Okay, now all the players have entered the ban-pick space!]

[The ban-pick starts right away! Milky Way, starting in blue, first bans Kassadin!]

“They’re banning that.”

I tried to sell some medicine.

I expected that there would be a lot of stories about our team’s ban-pick because the number of wins and losses in scrims with KTT was released on the internet, but I didn’t expect them to ban so suddenly.

[And then Yasuo and Azir are banned!]

[This is completely aiming for True, right?]

[That’s right! Originally, True is a player who is bound to bring out something bizarre, but it’s Milky Way’s ban asking if she can do that against them!]

“What was Envy’s champion preference ranking?”
“Leblanc, Miho, and Akila.”
“Then ban those three.”

Sometimes, when some teams focus on banning one lane, they forget one thing.

If the lane is banned, they think that only the opponent’s usable champions are reduced.

‘Let’s see who will be advantageous.’

There’s no way my champion pool is narrower than their team’s mid laner.

[Ah! ST asks back at Milky Way’s question!]

[Are you wider than me? I’ll win no matter what you choose!]

[ST’s response that is possible because it’s True! This makes Milky Way’s head hurt!]

In the end, the opponent had to use the 1st pick, the advantage of the blue camp, in the mid, where they used so many ban cards.

[Milky Way picks Orianna!]

[Actually, she’s the most normal and strong in the laning phase among the remaining mage mid champions, right? It’s a good choice.]

[Then are there any remaining mage champions? ST’s conversation time is getting longer?]

“Can you pull me to the last pick?”
“That’s fine, but do you have something in mind?”
“If the opponent doesn’t have a targeting hard CC, there’s something that’s okay.”
“What is it?”
“Irelia.”

At my words, the coach grabbed his head.

“I know your condition is good, but are you really okay?”
“Yes.”

At the firm answer, the coach intentionally led the opposing team to a combination that induces small-scale engagements rather than poking and evasion.

[It seems that both teams will not avoid battle!]

[Meanwhile, ST doesn’t pick mid until the end and moves on to the second ban time!]

Milky Way, as if they had made up their mind, banned Twisted Fate and Fizz, which can be used in mid.

[Milky Way uses 5 ban cards on mid!]

[Then what champions can really be played?]

Thanks to the opponent’s concentration of ban cards, it was very easy for us to bring the champions we wanted and ban the champions that were difficult to deal with.

“Why am I Sejuani again?”
“You have to jump with a safety device.”

Originally, a circus should look dangerous.

If it’s actually dangerous, there will be an accident.

[Okay, now Red 5th pick.]

[It’s also called the flower of the last pick, right? The top picks Maru to secure some damage, and the hunter picks Sejuani, and since the top combination is a tank, the completeness of ST’s combination is determined here.]

The coach 고민 until the last minute, then nodded in agreement, and I chose the champion I was going to use in the pick window without hesitation.

(Note: 고민 means worry, concern, deliberation)

The stadium heats up in an instant.

[Ooooh!]

[I can do this too! Player True confidently picks Irelia!]

[This is really a double-edged sword. She can definitely take the lead against Orianna, but if she’s not careful, she might not be able to breathe due to the fundamental range difference, right?]

Irelia is a champion who is said to be an OP champion in solo queue, but there is a reason why she doesn’t appear consistently in competitions.

If you use a champion like that recklessly in the mid lane where only people who are good at distance control are gathered, you will be in a critical condition when you try to eat a minion.

[But player True chose.]

[That’s right. That’s what’s important. Milky Way, if it weren’t for ST, they’d be called championship contenders, True’s first professional Irelia. What kind of appearance will she show!]

[Let’s meet now! Game—starts!]

The key to the laning phase with Orianna is, of course, the ball that moves around.

“I got it. Ox can clear the opponent’s upper forest.”

As such, if Orianna uses all the skills using the ball for lane clearing or whatever in a state where she has crossed half of the mid lane, it’s an advertisement that she wants to die.

Like now.

Checking Envy’s remaining health bar, I drank a potion and used a skill to ride the minions.

If you use the first-person perspective, the speed of riding minions using Q is faster, so you can easily enter even a slow Orianna who doesn’t have the skill cooldown.

[Irelia enters boldly here!]

[She instantly kills the minions with little health and stacks 4 stacks right away!]

[Orianna doesn’t have a level with no ultimate and her skills are still on cooldown, so she can’t do anything!]

[But Irelia is a basic attack-based champion, right!]

[And she still has the E skill left.]

I don’t hastily attempt a stun with the E skill.

In the first place, since the flash spell remains, I have to go off-beat to catch it for sure.

[Basic attack! Basic attack! Basic attack!]

[Why is this so painful! With the Conqueror rune triggered, Irelia’s damage is crazy!]

[Ah! Envy eventually uses flash first to get closer to the tower!]

If I won in psychology, it’s time to collect the fruits.

—Pat!

I pre-installed E behind, and then used flash and Q to make it zero distance, and then reused the E skill to draw a long line on the mid lane.

[This went in!]

[Orianna stun! Will True catch this!]

The stun time wasn’t long, but it’s time to squeeze in two Q skills and a basic attack.

[Uwaaa! It’s barely a basic attack or so of health left]

[Mages take two potions! Did she survive thanks to that?]

So, when the remaining health became invisible.

Level 3 taken by eating experience alone with the help of minions.

Press the W skill.

The swords gather around me, and I look at Orianna, who is looking back and moving around to avoid it, until the end, and thrust the swords forward.

[Uwaaaa! Here, Envy is solo killed by True!]

[Orianna’s ball falls in vain! True shows why she chose this champion!]

I don’t fight losing battles.
