Chapter 12: Ranking 1st place

It started with a post on a community forum.

[LOL Gallery]

Title: Para started streaming

(Para’s stream screen)

The Challenger middle school girl who was on Han Byeo-ri’s Master Invitation last week started streaming.

Looking at her score, if she wins about 3 more games, she’ll be Challenger rank 1. Amazing

Who is this, you nerd?

Pretty middle school girl Challenger, cute (not really), if you don’t know Para, why are you even on LOL Gallery?

LOL go watch Para’s Master Invitation on YouTube

But is she not turning on her cam?

Someone happened to find Yoon Seo-ha’s stream and wrote a post on the community.

Normally, it wouldn’t be strange if it got swept away by numerous other posts.

But now was the off-season.

With the World Championship, the culmination of the year, already decided, the posts had no more meaning.

Someone’s post about Yoon Seo-ha’s stream quickly became a popular post.

Wow, she’s so pretty, why is she playing LOL with that face LOL

She could have just been a cam girl and made tons of money

15 years old? Damn… I can’t hold back

Get your notepad ready LOL

You’ll really get in trouble with a minor, get your notepad ready

Title: Her match history is insane;;

(Photo of Para’s match history showing 300 wins and 40 losses)

It’s ridiculous that she has this win rate in a season where fresh accounts are blocked LOL

And the few games she lost were either when she was duoing with Han Byeo-ri or in Bronze/Silver/Gold LOL

She’s a monster

Her solo queue record is better than Soul’s, she beat a World Champion LOL

She’s seriously preparing to go pro

A girl going pro? LOL what a joke

She’s Challenger rank 20 though LOL

She’ll be rank 1 if she wins 3 more games? You’re the joke LOL

Title: A middle school girl who boycotts mara rose tteokbokki tanghulu and asks for gukbap

She’s just too good

I think I can appoint her as my girlfriend at this point

LOL

Get out of here

Look at her pale skin… I can’t hold back

You should hold your breath

To the community users who were bored without any news, a middle school girl Challenger was a big deal.

Not just any middle school girl Challenger, but a beauty who made people wonder why she was playing games with that face.

And the easygoing personality she showed on Master Invitation.

Yoon Seo-ha’s existence was enough to set the community on fire.

Title: Is this even a stream…?

(Screenshot of the stream where she’s just playing ranked games while ignoring the stream)

She just turned on the stream and played two solo queue games in a row?

But it’s a high elo queue, so it’s fun to watch

And the streamer’s playstyle is to break through with mechanics, so it’s fun LOL

That’s what’s good LOL

Sometimes when she dies, she says “ooh,” and that’s the best

Get out

A current middle school girl’s “ooh”…

The viewers, who gathered one by one, grew to 1,200.

1,200 viewers for the first stream without any promotion was a huge number.

The action Yoon Seo-ha took after seeing the increased viewers.

<Wow, a lot of people came? Then I’ll just quickly go for another game.>

Was to play solo queue.

[She’s amazing]

[Legendary LOL addict Legendary LOL addict Legendary LOL addict]

[This guy just likes solo queue]

[Is she not going to do a cam stream here?]

[Turn on the cam!!!! I’m going to die!!!]

‘There are a lot more people than I thought.’

1,200 was a small number if you looked at it that way, and a huge number if you looked at it another way.

If it were me in my past life as a pro gamer, I would have stopped the game and chatted, but.

Right now, queuing up was the priority.

‘I can’t resist when I’m one win away from rank 1.’

Momentum was important in games.

If you’re on a losing streak, you should stop, and if you’re on a winning streak, you should keep playing.

No one could stop me when I was already on a 2-game winning streak.

[Reaching rank 1 on stream is acknowledged]

[Let’s go, let’s go~]

[A middle school girl reaching Challenger rank 1 is a legendary event]

[Rank 1 is ImSorry right now LOL]

[The ImSorry who got 20 deaths and got recorded?]

When I checked the chat, it seemed like the viewers were welcoming the challenge for rank 1.

[Game found]

“Hmm…”

The game was found faster than I thought, and I happened to be the last pick.

The top laner picked a tank, and the bot laner picked a cheesy non-ADC.

And the enemy mid laner was Azir, a champion who was weak in the laning phase due to consecutive nerfs.

Then.

[One to cut, and the other to seal]

I chose Yone, one of my main champions.

It’s not manly to back down when the stage is set for you to carry.

‘…I’m not a man, though.’

The game started.

TOP: Maokai

JG: Lee Sin

MID: Yone

AD: Jhin

SUP: Leona

VS

TOP: K’Sante

JG: Viego

MID: Azir

AD: Aphelios

SUP: Renata

[CheesyWorld’sStrongest(Jhin): I’ll just clear the bot lane]

[CheesyWorld’sStrongest(Jhin): Play the top side, I’ll ult if there’s an opening]

As expected from someone who picked a cheesy non-ADC, his mindset was different.

Usually, ADCs have a disease where they can’t stand not being the main character.

‘You win.’

The mid lane where the minions arrived and showed themselves.

The enemy Azir had the Conqueror rune.

He was planning to endure and then deal DPS in teamfights.

Knowing that, I chose the Grasp of the Undying rune.

Until level 3, Azir could pressure Yone, so he tried to poke me, but I didn’t let him.

I got poked a few times, but Doran’s Shield and Second Wind are amazing.

As the level 3 timing approached, Azir pushed the lane and tried to back, but.

[There is no escape!]

With my Q stacked, I used my E, Soul Unbound, to approach the enemy and interrupt his recall.

The next wave was a cannon wave. If Azir went home now, he would be frozen even if he used Teleport.

“Yeah, you can’t go home, right? Then take your punishment.”

I traded with Azir, who was trying to push the lane one more time instead of going home.

I couldn’t get a solo kill because it was early, but I pushed the enemy’s health to the brink of death.

[Para(Yone): Nice, Lee Sin]

Lee Sin, who had cleared the enemy’s raptors, finished him off with a dive.

This ended the mid lane.

All that was left was to inflict pain on Azir whenever my Q’s whirlwind was stacked.

****

Time passed, and it was over 40 minutes.

Starting with Lee Sin’s gank in the early game, I got two solo kills, but the top laner got ganked and was destroyed.

It’s not easy to do that with Maokai, who had recently been buffed, but it was the top lane, as expected.

[del145141(Lee Sin): Let’s just have one teamfight and end it]

Judging that there was no chance of winning if the game dragged on any longer, Lee Sin started to take Baron alone.

Honestly, I think he was just tilted because he died consecutively.

The enemy top and support were visible in the bot lane, so I started hitting it with him.

[del145141(Lee Sin) is on the way]

But because the ADC was Jhin, it was taking longer than expected to take Baron, and the enemy top and support arrived.

Here, Lee Sin decided to start a fight.

As soon as the enemy Aphelios got hit by the sound wave, Lee Sin followed up with his flashy ultimate-flash, followed by Maokai’s CC.

The enemy Aphelios, who had used Cleanse in the previous teamfight, couldn’t react and was instantly killed.

But the enemy team still had a well-fed K’Sante and Viego.

[CheesyWorld’sStrongest(Jhin): That long thing, f*ck]

As if to avenge Aphelios’s death, the enemy K’Sante used flash-ultimate to kidnap and tear Jhin apart.

Followed by Viego’s passive, allowing him to change his appearance.

If I were a mage champion, I would have killed either K’Sante or Viego and died to the other one.

But the champion I was playing was a well-fed Yone.

[No time for pleasantries!]

I used my Q’s airborne followed by my ultimate to knock up both K’Sante and Viego.

Followed by my W’s health-based damage, Q, and auto-attacks.

I quickly killed Viego, who had transformed into the weak Jhin, and then finished off K’Sante with my E’s finishing damage.

Then I killed the lone Azir to finish it off.

Super minions were running towards the enemy top inhibitor that had been pushed earlier.

[vz Lucie (Leona): If you TP top, it’s over]

Following the order of our support, who had been silent until now, I used Teleport on top.

Just as I was about to destroy the Nexus after destroying the twin towers, the enemy Aphelios revived.

Fortunately, I was able to gain distance with my E and focus the Nexus to win the game.

[Victory]

Even though we won, it was too early to be relieved.

I checked the score, and it was +27, 1023 points.

If the original rank 1 wasn’t playing a game, I would be rank 1.

‘Please…’

I went to the match history site and checked the ranking.
