Chapter 89 – 89. Promotion Match (2)

“The second match of the promotion match from Arena Park, Original Scene vs. Battle Angels, Battle Angels vs. Original Scene! The first set has started.”

The match was relayed with the caster’s comment.
I got out of the capsule and watched the match.

The invasion phase went through without incident, so the line war started right away.

Of course, the most notable line is the bottom line.
The commentary and the caster also pointed out that point.

“The bot composition of the original scene is a very strong laning match.”
“You’re right. It is a combination of two characters who are said to be top-notch in terms of containment ability, so if you can’t avoid the flying skills well, you won’t be able to manage your stamina. “

And as everyone expected, the original scene’s bot duo started firing their skills relentlessly.
In the case of Helios’s passive skill, ‘Arrow of the Sun’, mana is not consumed and the cooldown is extremely short.

Thanks to that, the strategy of holding out until mana runs out is impossible.
Truly, the only thing to believe in is moving.

But soon, surprising things start to happen.
Not to mention Ryu Seo-yoon, who had excellent raw physicals, and even Baek Ha-yan, who was known to be relatively dull, easily avoided skill shots.

“Battle Angels Bottom Duo! Are you holding up better than you thought?”
“Without the help of the jungler, I can say that I have done my part. Not only dodging skills, but also CS is not pushed at all.”

Other than that, the line war was going on without any news to the extent that it could be said that it was really okay.

“The original scene should have taken the lead based on the gains from early lane play. In this way, the Battle Angels can be seen as a much better combination in teamfights.”

The opponent’s bot composition was definitely a meta pick, but it was the same for our team.
It wasn’t a meta pick, it was because it was the opposing team that banned Artemis, so there were plenty of good bottom combinations to pick.

As time passed, I saw players from the original scene who were quite nervous even from a distance.

Especially the bottom line.
It was dangerously bold to come forward and check.

I don’t know if it was white in the past, but if it’s white now, there’s no way I’ll miss this opportunity.

“White players! Enter!”
“Are you good? Player Violet got bitten right!”

The skills that were blown away ignorantly while trying to contain them became an opportunity to push the line towards our tower.
It was the bottom duo of the original scene who hurriedly ran away, but the way back was quite a long way to look at.

[First take!]

The first point that finally exploded on the bottom line.
It was what Ryu Seo-yoon, who used to blink and dealt with, ate.

Since then, Baek Ha-yan, who had entered boldly, died without coming out alive, but Ryu Seo-yoon even caught the supporter of the original scene and achieved a 2-to-1 exchange.
What’s more important is that the opponent’s AD is dead, while our AD is alive.

“Recently, the original scene took the bot composition that is known to be the strongest. After all, Ryu! He doesn’t get caught at all and even gets a kill in the end!”
“I want to commend White. This player, wasn’t this good until recently? But, whether it’s moving or not, the opening angle of the initiation has really improved!”

Of course, getting a kill doesn’t change the bot structure dramatically.
Still, the original scene’s check was tough, and our bot duo had to hold on and hold on and aim for an entry angle.

However, after passing that process, we have an overwhelming advantage.

Looking at the composition of the jungle for a moment, Baekho from Battle Angels is a tank type character, and he was a good character even if he was just big enough.

Thanks to that, the situation of our team, which passed the first half of the season, was only getting better and better.

After that, a team fight broke out over the Buddha, a large object on the bottom line.
A 5-on-5 large-scale teamfight with the top line and midfield joined.

The opposing team, which has an advantage over teamfights, wanted us to lose a lot of HP in the confrontation.
However, this too collapses due to the white ghostly initiation.

“Going White!”
“Original scene, rush out!”
“Baekho caught up with the original scene! When did you come back?”
“Aaaaagh! Teamfight defeat!”

Baek Ha-yeon had to record 2 deaths, but thanks to him, he caught 4 players of the original scene.
In addition to that, even catching the Buddha, an object that can pull gold closely.

At this level, it could be said that the initiative in the early stages was completely passed on to us.

And the game started to flow to our advantage, as expected.
If there’s one thing that’s regrettable, it’s that the game drags on when you get past the mid-half, because of the original scene’s players who persevere like tenacity.

‘Surely these children. Are you aiming for a fitness issue?’

As a professional gamer, it was natural to do our best in a given game, but against our team, that could also be a strategy.

You probably already know that our team is vulnerable to multiple premises.
If so, even in a game with visible results, he could have used a strategy to drain his stamina by dragging it.

I bit my lip furiously.

‘I have to finish it at least by overdoing it.’

However, as it was such an important game, it is not easy to make a bold decision.
Especially in the second half where the game could be overturned in one teamfight.

Eventually, after more than 50 minutes, the game came to an end.
Considering the early advantage, it was a very disappointing game time.

“Whoa… “

Players who have only played one game yet can’t hide their tired look.
For a moment, I thought of a ‘good quality stamina pill’, but I shook my head.

‘Quality stamina pills’ are also items that require 5 points per pill.
If you use all 5 people, 25 points will be used.
I had to save it and save it and use it only at the moment when it really mattered.

“I’m resting until the next game.”

Feedback was kept as simple as possible.
And we went into the second set with a short break.

‘There’s nothing good about dragging time.’

This time, our team is the red formation.
This meant being able to coordinate picks and bans by looking at the opponent’s strategy and matching it.

Get it done ASAP!

It was my strategy for the second set.

‘In order to do that, Jihye Lee has to work hard.’

In order for a one-deal carry to be established, growth time is inevitably needed.

If you think about Ryu Seo-yoon’s carry, you will have no choice but to play for a long time this time.

That’s why the picks I picked are very aggressive characters in the beginning.

The opponent’s tendency was also on the aggressive side, so in the end we ended up with some very hot combinations.

“It’s a very aggressive combination for both teams. There is a very high probability that the early initiative will go all the way to the end!”
“It means that it is a structure that cannot be reversed!”
“Exactly. A showdown of power versus power! I really wonder who will win.”

The person who needs to work hard in the second set was Lee Ji-hye.
She captured Fenrir, her signature carnivorous jungle her.

She quickly ran around the entire map, ganking when it was ganking, and kajeong when it was a ganking, so there was no time to rest.

At first glance, it seems that the jungle is the domain of junglers, but in reality it is not.
Of course, when the junglers met one-on-one in the jungle, an important factor was who was better at fighting.
But, ironically, the most important factor for a jungler was line leadership.

Can the liners push the creeps into the tower faster than the opponent and join the jungle fight?
There is no reason to avoid jungle fights as long as you are sure that your allies’ support will come faster even if the jungle is weak in one-on-one combat.

In that respect, Lee Ji-hye has always been fighting against the odds.
This is because Han Yuna, the mid laner whose combination with the jungle is more important than any other line, has always lacked the initiative.

It can be said that there has never been a time when our team joined the mid lane faster than the opponent.

But should we say that an earthworm wriggles when stepped on?
Or should I say in good words that Seodanggae also recites Poongwol in three years?

Han Yuna, who was always pushed back, was unexpectedly putting pressure on her opponent, Fat Man.

Lee Ji-hye did not miss that figure and stabbed her mid-line.
Is it because of the popular opinion that Battle Angels will start by abandoning the mid laners?

Fat Man didn’t even expect Lee Ji-hye’s ganking.
Even though Lee Ji-hye came close to her, she didn’t notice at all, and only when she was hit in the back of the head her did she react.

[First take!]

The preemptive point that entered Lee Ji-hye’s mouth her.
It was a very meaningful first kill because it was a situation where they met each other on a single wooden bridge and fought without a fight.

And as more time passed, Hanyuna, who usually only defended her mid tower, was very rarely able to push her opponent’s mid tower first.

It hurts to talk about the importance of the 1st mid tower as much as the initiative of the mid line.
The mid towers of both teams in the center of the map are closely related to the battle of vision.

When warding, it is natural to start occupying the bushes near the tower.
Doesn’t it make sense to shove your face into a place where you can’t see and ward from the depths of the opponent’s jungle?

In addition, the tower also plays a role in illuminating your surroundings while you are alive.
In other words, the existence of the primary mid-tower is directly related to the survivability of the team.

‘I’ll win the 2nd set easily.’

The momentum is very good.
If you win the 2nd set and take it to the 3rd set like this, the days you prepared hard for 2 weeks will feel in vain.
It would be a very pleasant emptiness, though.

“Battle Angels! As it is, up to the second set, I will take it!”
“The set score is 2-0! Can we finish the game 3-0 like this?”
“For the original scene, you have to hold on to your mentality and do your best in the 3-set match, which could be the last. You can’t collapse like this! It’s a relegation, a relegation!”

However, the expressions of the players who returned after the second set were not very good.
The ship must have been more tense and focused than usual.
The tiredness they were feeling was evident on their faces.

“It could be the last set. You just have to squeeze in your strength and do it one more time.”

The players silently nodded.
But I’m only half sure.

The players’ stamina reached the bottom due to the pressure they had never experienced before.
From now on, it’s a battle of mental strength.

‘It’s not going to be easy.’

I thought about bringing out the strategy I had been preparing for two weeks if I were to lose in this third set.
