[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim) nominated Hyeinbo (Beain)]

Despite suffering a humiliating defeat by the Master Yi, who was a master of level 3 timing, Ryshim did not give up. As soon as he respawned, he ran towards the bottom lane, spamming pings.

However, the current bottom lane situation was already in favor of the enemy team.

'This is going to be tough.'

Moreover, the allied bottom lane combination of Ezreal and Nami was not particularly proactive in responding to ganks, while the enemy bottom lane consisted of Beain and Blitzcrank. It was a gank that was even more malicious than a mindless full camp.

'Mindless full camps at least ensure that the jungle is definitely strong, but mindless ganks can ruin even a well-developed team member.'

The outcome was obvious.

- Enemy eliminated!

- Double kill!

However, the sudden rain from a clear sky was a variable.

'They fell for it.'

The bottom lane situation was as far from a gank as heaven is from earth. Yet, contrary to expectations, the enemy team charged forward just as Ryshim arrived.

Was it because the enemy Master Yi came and the allied team responded recklessly? Of course not.

In other words, the enemy bottom lane self-destructed.

"..."

I was momentarily stunned, but since the allied team benefited, it wasn't a bad outcome.

'I still have a lot to improve.'

Playing this game, I feel like my entire worldview of League of Legends is being shaken.

At that moment,

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): Ah]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): S1t]

The entire bottom jungle was cleared.

Master Yi, taking advantage of the timing when Ryshim went to the bottom lane, chose to clear the jungle rather than counter-gank.

'Hmm.'

Of course, if we were to compare the benefits and losses, the allied team still benefited.

Not only did they secure a double kill at the bottom lane, but they also successfully pushed the lane and mined the turret defenses.

But...

'This isn't the end.'

Frustrated, Ryshim entered the enemy blue side, but it was already empty.

True to form, Master Yi, who had secured a kill early on, quickly cleared the jungle with his characteristic speed.

'Ryshim should have gone straight to his own blue. Trying to make up for the loss, he almost nullified the gains from the bottom lane.'

If the double kill had gone to the ADC, Ezreal, it might have been a different story, but unfortunately, it went to Ryshim.

Even considering that it's generally better for the jungle to secure kills early on, the fact that the jungle who secured two kills was Ryshim made the situation quite awkward.

* * * * * *

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim) nominated 20210720 (Malphite)]

Ryshim, who had suffered a significant loss in the jungle, nervously pinged for a mid-lane gank.

'That's not it.'

The current position of the enemy Master Yi should be around the enemy red or the river.

Even if Ryshim had secured a kill, without buying items, he was no different from a 0-kill Ryshim.

Moreover, the enemy Master Yi had already secured a kill, bought items, and had a level advantage.

'Even with that, it would be difficult to burst Malphite with a 0-kill Ryshim...'

Even if Malphite was squishy without items, he was still Malphite.

If the gank timing was delayed, Master Yi would arrive.

Despite the risk, Ryshim charged towards Malphite without hesitation.

- Flash!

Whether the gank was sharp or the response from Zed was good, fortunately, Master Yi did not appear, and Malphite's Flash was used.

'Hmm.'

From here on, it was crucial.

'How can I handle this?'

Ryshim's position was exposed.

Moreover, the balance between the jungles was already significantly off.

If I were Ryshim, I would have either pinged the base or changed my route.

But...

'He's heading straight to the wolves.'

It was a foolish choice, and as expected, just as Ryshim was heading to the wolves, Master Yi jumped out from the bush.

A completely obvious ambush play.

- Shh!

Ryshim's position had been exposed long ago, so it was more unusual for it not to be there.

- Ally eliminated!

If we had met on flat ground, it might have been different, but the Master Yi hiding in the bush was no longer the Master Yi we knew.

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): Ah, S1t, really]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): Playing with luck]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): Master Yi is trash]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): Really, I'm getting screwed]

Despite it being clear that it was Ryshim's mistake, Ryshim genuinely seemed to think it was bad luck.

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim) - Hecarim survived]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): Why didn't you back up?]

Oh, blaming others?

---

Then I will give you a cute penguin.

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): **************]

[Hororororororor (Zed): Hahaha, so funny]

One good way to win an argument is to make the other person a laughing stock.

Right now, for example.

'Well, strictly speaking, it's not entirely my fault for not sticking with him earlier.'

If it were someone else, I might not have, but I had already predicted that the enemy Master Yi would be lurking around there.

Still, I didn't go to back up Ryshim because of a small bit of selfishness.

'I can't just easily resolve this hellish freeze.'

Somehow, I started to understand their feelings.

'Not just that, though.'

Even if the 'line' has a strong pull, I am someone with a very rich jungle sense.

If Ryshim were a normal person, I would have easily provided backup.

It's all about personal responsibility.

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): I can't play with these kids]

[Hororororororor (Zed): ;;]

[Hororororororor (Zed): : The top lane is growing well, so take it slow]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): Didn't you see that the backup didn't come earlier? The enemy is just a bug]

Such high praise?

Of course, I didn't need to respond to every compliment, so I remained silent.

And...

After Ryshim recorded another death, Master Yi's growth accelerated explosively.

To the point where it couldn't be stopped.

If this were a game at a certain tier or higher, the well-rounded growth of the allied team might have given them a slight advantage, but...

'Let's see how this goes.'

When Master Yi, who had been silent for a long time, finally appeared, the level difference between the jungles was already 2 levels.

[Master Yi - Level 8]

[Ryshim - Level 6]

The battlefield Master Yi chose was the bottom lane.

Since I, the best-developed member of our team, was stuck at the top without a Teleport, it was a wise choice.

- Ally eliminated!

- Enemy, double kill!

- Enemy, triple kill!

- Enemy, unstoppable!

Finally, the allied ADC, who was quickly cut down by Master Yi, spoke up.

[I am Kim Suho (Ezreal): The jungle difference is so obvious lol]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): ? How is this a jungle difference? It's a top lane difference]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account (Ryshim): The top lane didn't back up earlier, that's why this happened lol If you don't know, just be quiet]

[I am Kim Suho (Ezreal): What are you talking about? The top lane is doing well. Can't you see that the game is messed up because of the jungle?]

[y3op3i53fgk (Nami): Ezreal is right]

Ah, I know well.

Clearly, from the jungle's perspective, it seems like the team is to blame, but unfortunately, when the immediate results are attributed to the jungle...

'If it were in the past, I might have helped...'

But I don't really want to.

It's not because of personal feelings.

Really.

'Besides, it seems like the game is almost over, and I might as well stop playing.'

While playing alone at the top, I had already secured two Rift Heralms, making the top lane a literal highway.

Normally, after destroying the first turret, the next step would be to move to the bottom lane, but without a Teleport, I didn't want to be constrained by the usual strategy.

'I also wanted to see how Ryshim would fare.'

Since I had seen what I wanted to see, it was time to wrap things up.

'If I leave it any longer, it won't end well.'

Master Yi's growth was now at a level where he could 1v4 the allied team, excluding me, even if he missed a few skills.

'Of course, things would be different if I joined in.'

I instinctively felt that now was the time.

As soon as Master Yi appeared near the Blade's Call, I charged towards him.

The top lane and the upper jungle were already my territory.

'Goodbye.'

There was a time when a full-camp jungler could grow explosively faster than a laner.

But that was a story from the past. In the current patch, under normal circumstances, a jungler cannot keep up with a laner's growth.

Let alone a laner who had completely destroyed the enemy turret and taken all the turret gold?

Naturally, even if I had grown well, it was nowhere near Master Yi's level.

- Phase Smelt, Heal.

Commonly, a laner who is stuck at the top says this when they finally go down.

- Enemy eliminated!

- Suppressed!

Wangguyo.

- Enemy eliminated!

- Pentakill!

- Legendary appearance!

After that, it was simple.

There were a few team fights, and with me, the best-developed player, focusing on Master Yi, the enemy team fell easily.

[Victory]

The game ended.

For me, it was an easy victory, but for the team members, it was a different story, as the chat window was on fire.

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account: Carry]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account: It's hard to carry unranked players]

[I am Kim Suho: ?]

[20210720: These guys are in Diamond, lol, they're sick]

[20210720: If it weren't for the top lane, it would have been a clean win, gg]

[20210720: And Ryshim is so bad, lol, getting destroyed by Master Yi]

[Yanghyeong's Alternate Account: I don't talk to unranked noobs, gg]

Yanghyeong's Alternate Account left the lobby.

[Hororororororor: GG, legend, really]

[Hororororororor: But, Mr. Hecarim, what tier are you? You're in Platinum, and you're really good, wow]

[GameWell4148: Haha;]

A predictable conclusion.

Of course, since this was just the first game, I immediately moved on to the next one.

'What should I play next...'

I pondered happily for a moment.

* * *

A week had passed.

During this time, I played various positions, enjoying the game.

[Victory]

'Hmm.'

Perhaps due to the unprecedented winning streak.

Even though I hadn't even started ranked games, I was starting to face opponents in Diamond and above more frequently.

'At this rate, I might soon face Master and above.'

It was a sign that I was finally returning to the League of Legends world I knew.

The peak was not far off.
