The game has begun.

I closed all windows except the game.

I will snipe, but I won’t play with my team.

For that reason, I end the stream when I end up on the opposing team of the streamer or BJ I’m sniping.

The reason I snipe is that I want to bother the streamer, not because I want to win.

Tool is Freedom (Nautilus): Azir [Unsealed Spellbook]

Tool is Freedom (Nautilus): Azir [Unsealed Spellbook]

Tool is Freedom (Nautilus): Azir [Unsealed Spellbook]

Tool is Freedom (Nautilus): What is this?

While we were checking the timing for an invade, Nautilus’s chat popped up.

I didn’t feel it was worth responding, so I intentionally ignored it.

Tool is Freedom (Nautilus): How does Azir deal damage without mana regeneration or Comet?

Tool is Freedom (Nautilus): Ah, I should have dodged.

Tool is Freedom (Nautilus): Why is Azir playing when he doesn’t even know how?

Since I didn’t react, ‘that’ line opened its mouth again.

It was clearly provoking me, and I naturally blocked Tool’s chat.

‘Support players have been like this lately…’

For some reason, I find myself missing the mysterious Orianna master, and I wonder if it’s just my imagination.

Still, after blocking, I felt a bit relieved from the complicated feelings.

‘By the way, Twisted Fate is cocky.’

Using Ignite with a champion that’s practically the essence of standard play?

Usually, champions like that take Teleport; that’s the unspoken rule.

But the fact that he took Ignite instead of Teleport means…

‘Is he planning to pressure Azir with Twisted Fate?’

Ignite is a spell used only when trying to pressure the opposing laner.

And Twisted Fate took Ignite against me,

while my spells were Cleanse and Flash.

It was a standard spell choice against Twisted Fate.

[Minions have spawned.]

Both teams started the laning phase without any attempts at invading.

Twisted Fate actively initiated trades from level 1, but I didn’t respond.

Whether I liked it or not, since the opponent took Ignite, I had to manage my health carefully.

If I let my guard down, I could give away a solo kill, and if the enemy jungler poked in once, I was very likely to die.

So I farmed smoothly until level 3.

Twisted Fate, who kept trying to poke me, pushed the lane when I didn’t respond.

‘Since both the enemy jungler and our jungler started on the red buff…’

There was a high chance a fight for the crab would break out in the upper river.

Twisted Fate is pushing the lane hard because he knows that.

In this situation, I should also ideally push the lane as much as possible.

However, due to the early harass, lane control has already shifted to Twisted Fate.

‘I can’t help but take a bit of a loss.’

I focused on harassing Twisted Fate, who was pushing the lane even more aggressively.

When I looked at the minimap, I saw that both junglers had revealed themselves in the upper river bush.

Due to continuous harassment, Twisted Fate’s health was nearly halved.

However, Twisted Fate succeeded in shoving two waves of minions into the turret.

A typical mid laner would ping their jungler for assistance to farm the waves,

but since I was aware of that strategy from the start, I boldly gave up farming and chose to join the fight.

NayunPrincess (Azir) has pinged llililil (Twisted Fate).

NayunPrincess (Azir) has pinged llililil (Twisted Fate).

NayunPrincess (Azir) has pinged llililil (Twisted Fate).

I intensely pinged Twisted Fate as he was joining.

After all, the enemy jungler was Nunu, and Nunu was an absolute predator in objective fights.

It seemed that Jarvan IV also understood this well, as he used his saved EQ combo on Twisted Fate according to my ping.

Maybe he didn’t expect the sudden turn; Twisted Fate couldn’t dodge Jarvan’s skill.

[Enemy eliminated.]

Twisted Fate, who failed to manage his health, ended up being taken out by our combined attack.

However, the fight wasn’t over yet.

The enemy Nunu had taken the crab and was heading straight to the top lane.

My thing is also solid (Malphite) has sent a support request.

My thing is also solid (Malphite) has sent a support request.

My thing is also solid (Malphite) has sent a support request.

Malphite’s desperate pings echoed through the canyon.

NayunPrincess (Azir) is on the way.

Moorim Hidden Master (Jarvan IV) is on the way.

I pinged in hopes that he could hold out just a bit longer as I headed over.

Thanks to that ping, Malphite managed to retreat inside the turret.

However, unable to let the low-health Malphite go, Renekton recklessly attempted a turret dive.

[Our ally has been defeated.]

In the end, Malphite did die.

However, Renekton and Nunu were in such low health that they could die from stepping on a LEGO.

Moorim Hidden Master (Jarvan IV) is on the way.

Moorim Hidden Master (Jarvan IV) is on the way.

Jarvan headed toward the Nunu, who was escaping into the enemy territory.

I turned right to chase after Renekton, who was fleeing.

Renekton hid in the bush in front of the second turret.

‘He’s definitely teleporting.’

I boldly jumped over the wall with my Flash and dashed into the bush with my WEQ combo.

As expected, Renekton was using his Teleport, and I recorded the kill with a few auto-attacks.

[Enemy eliminated.]

[Enemy eliminated.]

Around the same time, our Jarvan also finished off the fleeing Nunu.

Having won the skirmish, I pressed to return to base.

I lost a lot of minion waves due to being away from my lane, but it wasn’t too bad.

After burning three waves and giving up one kill, I gained three kills.

‘This is a good start!’

“No, that Twisted Fate, damn it!”

Park Kwontae expressed his hatred for Twisted Fate while looking at the black-and-white game screen.

[Oh.]

[Low health blind bug cut!]

[You killed Nunu, you killed Nunu, you killed Nunu, you killed Nunu.]

[Why did you kill him…? Why did you kill him…? Why did you kill him…? Why did you kill him…? Why did you kill him…?]

[Azir’s bold use of Flash decision]

[It was almost the heart of a beast.]

[You might as well be executed.]

“No, I know I can get executed.”

[But why did you die after using Teleport?]

[Is it because he’s the ‘Guardian of Diamond’?]

[This guy will die to the Diamond II diving today.]

[Hold on tight!!!]

“But if you get executed, Azir gains experience.”

[?]

[?]

[What are you saying?]

[Aha! You normally only give experience, but you gave a bonus of 300 gold instead!]

[Is this that confident fool or whatever?]

[3-minute Curry donated 10,000 won.]

These days, there’s too much unreasonable criticism. Our Curry-nim hasn’t done anything wrong. In fact, he did well in that situation.

[?]

22

[?]

[?]

[Unreasonable criticism]

[Ugh…]

[20]

[Get rid of the treacherous minister.]

[Hang the treacherous minister.] [20 aa]

[Kill the treacherous minister.]

“Thank you very much for the 10,000 won donation, 3-minute Curry. Honestly, what you said is right; there’s a lot of unreasonable criticism these days. Can we acknowledge this fact?”

[?]

[How many question marks is this guy trying to collect?]

[Question mark tycoon Curry]

[What does this premature Curry know in three minutes?]

[I want to fold his head into a question mark shape.]

“Hey, don’t cross the line.”

Park Kwontae deleted the overstepping messages.

Once he enforced a bit of fear in the chat, the atmosphere cooled down.

“Just wait a little longer. I’ll show you that I can carry this game properly.”

Park Kwontae boldly made a boastful remark to lift the dropped tension.

[Clipping this for later.]

[If you can’t protect it, sprinkle Big Macs.]

[If we can’t protect it, we should post it on the national petition]

[I told my mom to make sure to keep her promises.]

[Infinite… Infinite… Infinite… Infinite…]

Thanks to that, the firepower of the chat room, which had weakened, began to rise again.

Park Kwontae, who revived the broadcast atmosphere, refocused on the game.

Time flowed into the late game.

The kill score was almost even at 10 vs 15.

‘Not bad.’

The situation itself wasn’t bad.

As the game progressed, Azir’s carrying potential increased.

[The Brand Nashor has respawned.]

The Brand Nashor, which had already been defeated once, respawned.

Since we had already established vision control, the enemy team had no sight of it.

Moreover, the enemy team’s bottom inhibitor was pushed, and Renekton, who had Teleport, was absent.

Given Azir’s characteristic of quickly bursting down objectives, we had a very high chance of securing the Brand right now.

The enemy team couldn’t recklessly enter without vision.

Our Jarvan, who shared the same thought as me, began to attack the Brand.

If we secured the Brand, it would likely lead to a smooth victory.

But at that moment.

[Tools are Free (Nautilus) targeted the Master of Eye Tricks (Nunu and Willump)]

Our support pinged twice and then left the Brand pit.

Then, he led the charge and hooked Nunu, who was approaching from the river bush.

What angle did he even see?

I couldn’t understand Nautilus’s initiation at all.

Because of that Nautilus, we had no choice but to pick one of two options.

We could abandon Nautilus and secure the Brand, then retreat.

Or we could stop the Brand burst and start a teamfight here.

Nautilus, who entered first, was being focused by the enemy team.

It was an obvious situation where he would die.

In that situation, our top laner, Malphite, made a decision.

He closed the distance with Flash and used his ultimate, knocking up three enemies.

Since our main tank initiated, we had no choice but to follow.

We hurriedly stopped the Brand burst and opened the teamfight.

Malphite’s knock-up landed on the enemies, while Jarvan IV’s Cataclysm struck down.

However, it was far from where Simi and I were, so a momentary damage loss was unavoidable.

On the other hand, the enemies that Malphite knocked up were Renekton, Nunu, and Leona—three of them.

The well-farmed Tristana and Twisted Fate were in a free damage situation.

Simi and I tried to deal damage late, but we were already overwhelmed by the damage difference.

As a result, all our allies, except me, were wiped out.

The enemy team, consisting of Twisted Fate, Renekton, and Tristana, survived.

Having won the teamfight, the enemy team headed toward the mid lane, which was pushed.

Quickly returning home, I hurriedly consumed a potion and left the fountain.

And I hid next to the wall beside the mid inhibitor tower, waiting for the enemy team.

Before long, the enemy team advanced, leading minions towards the inhibitor tower.

I held my breath and waited until their vision was barely out of sight.

Just when they were fully exposed, I unleashed all my skills and targeted Tristan.

“Shurima will be eternal!”

Azir’s ultimate voice echoed across the Rift.

“You have slain an enemy.”

[Kill streak denied!]

Tristan, who was at full health, was taken out in one hit.

Now, all that remained were the Renekton, who hadn’t managed his health since the Brand fight, and the underdeveloped Twisted Fate.

I quickly took care of Renekton, the biggest threat.

[Double Kill!]

Twisted Fate tried to finish me off while I was left with half health.

But I quickly ended it with a WEQ combo, refreshing my skill cooldown.

[Triple Kill!]

Although Ignite was on me, I barely survived thanks to the shield from my E skill.

[Finish!]

I moved the minimap to check the situation at the enemy’s bot lane.

Two of our super minions were pressuring the enemy’s twin towers.

Without hesitation, I used the [Unsealed Spell] I’d been saving to swap my cleanse spell for teleport.

‘The enemy team member who will respawn the fastest is Leona, in 19 seconds.’

Teleport

Casting time is 4.5 seconds.

Could I push to the Nexus in 14.5 seconds?

“Definitely possible.”

Confident of victory, I raised the corners of my mouth.

With that, I destroyed the twin towers.

As I pressured the Nexus, the respawned Leona tried to stop me.

However, the Nexus’s health was already depleted.

[Victory]

Finishing the game, I connected to the Curry broadcast with a racing heart.

What caught my eye immediately was Curry, who was hiding his face in his hands, with his head down.

Feeling a pang of sympathy, I shifted my gaze to the chatroom, which was rapidly descending into chaos.

[Curry, stop bragging! Azir is invincible. Nayeon, Yone is a god. Curry, stop bragging! Azir is invincible. Nayeon, Yone is a god.]

[Don’t try to establish a rivalry! Don’t try to establish a rivalry! Don’t try to establish a rivalry! ]

[Don’t die! I’ll carry you (actually said)] [Hahahahaha]

[If you endure, you’ll break? If you endure, you’ll break? If you endure, you’ll break? ]

[Hehe… Nayeon nana… Hehe… Nayeon nana… Hehe… Nayeon nana…Nayeon nana… Hehe…]

[You carry me, you carry me, you carry me, you carry me]

[Mu~ Yahoo~ Mu~ Yahoo~ Mu~ Yahoo~ Mu~ Yahoo~ ]

[Please greet Curry, first time. Please greet Curry, second time….. Please greet Curry, seventeenth time.]

[Nayeon, Queen, please step on me. Hehe… Nayeon, Queen, please step on me. Hehe…

Nayeon, Queen, please step on me. Hehe… Nayeon, Queen, please step on me. Hehe…]

[Wow! You know Undertale! For those who don’t know, let me explain.

The final boss of the genocide ending among the three endings of Sans in Undertale is really, really hard.

All attacks are dodgeable, and my HP is 92, but the attack of Sans is 60 per second, plus poison damage…

However, since this makes it impossible to clear the game, the creators made a fatal weakness.

Sans’ fatal weakness is that he gets tired. After enduring all the patterns, he gets tired and falls asleep while maintaining his turn.

But when he falls asleep, if you move the spear and try to attack, he can dodge the first attack.

But immediately after, he gets hit by the second attack and dies.]

[I am the Curry Room evil! I will spam! I am the Curry Room evil! I will spam!

I am the Curry Room evil! I will spam! I am the Curry Room evil! I will spam!]

[Nayeon ate the Curry promotion with a first match win. Hehe.

Nayeon ate the Curry promotion with a first match win. Hehe.]

The chat window of the Curry that wrecked the promotion’s first match was like a hellscape.
