Chapter 85 : Iron Plate Duo

Did you know that mysterious Yone master is a woman?

That person was a woman?

Yeah. But honestly, she’s overrated.She is overrated.

She’s not very good.

We met yesterday and I crushed her.

One-trick ponies should have their score reduced by 500 points.

If she was good, she wouldn’t be barely in Challenger, she’d be in the top ranks.

Watching the Temple stream video from yesterday morning, I let out a dry laugh.

Although they weren’t directly on camera, Opera and Drill’s conversation was clearly audible.

To be honest, I thought the summary post I saw earlier was exaggerated.

But it was just a direct transcript of Opera and Drill’s conversation.

How should I respond to this, or rather, deal with it?

Neither Opera nor Drill had particularly good images to begin with.

Even without any special gestures, their self-destruction was inevitable.

But in a way, this situation was Opera and Drill targeting me, wasn’t it?

Simply put, I felt disgusted.

Like stepping in dog poop on the street.

Recently, I had only found amusement in tormenting Curry, so their attack was like rain in a drought.

Continuing the enjoyable contemplation of how to thoroughly crush them, I first organized Opera and Drill’s remarks.

Barcode is a Yone one-trick pony.

Barcode is just a barely Challenger, a bubble.

Barcode’s skill is below theirs.

After roughly summarizing their remarks, I let out another dry laugh in disbelief.

Their remarks seemed to have a foundation of inherently looking down on me.

I thought I had been in Challenger for a long time and set unprecedented records.

But to them, that image of me seemed laughable. Enough to blatantly talk trash behind my back.

After deciding how to best give Opera and Drill the middle finger, I logged into LoL.

My current tier was Diamond 1 80LP.

I hadn’t escaped the Diamond 1 bracket yet.

On the other hand, Opera and Drill had surpassed Master 100 points.

The point difference was greater than I expected, but I didn’t care.

I had barely played any serious games since the new season started.

I could always have fun tormenting Curry instead of playing solo queue.

There was no need to play solo queue, which was less fun. In fact, I had only played around 20 games this season.

In terms of game count, Opera and Drill had played over 50 duo queue games, but I didn’t want to dwell on that.

After checking my current score, I started preparing to stream.

I turned on the camera, which I only used for collaborations with Curry, and checked if there were any issues with the broadcasting equipment.

I set the title to “No Mic Hardcore Gaming Stream” and left a message for Curry’s contact.

After leaving a message saying I wouldn’t be able to participate in the virtual marriage cohabitation content for a while, I started the stream.

[Barcode high]

[Barcode high]

[Did you know Opera and Drill talked trash about Barcode-nim?]

[What’s this “No Mic Hardcore Gaming Stream”…]

[Seriously, those bastards are ridiculous]

[I almost said, “I want to beat those unprofessional bitches to a pulp”]

[Is this the “barely Challenger” stream? lol]

Since it was a sudden stream, there were no moderators to manage the chat.

As a result, the chat quickly turned into chaos, but I completely ignored it and started queuing.

The main reason I was being ignored was my score.

If I reached a higher score than those bastards, the bracket they thought I couldn’t reach, that would be enough.

That would be the best middle finger I could give them, and to do that, I had to stream in a way that didn’t feel like a stream.

Speaking and playing a game without breaks is surprisingly difficult, even if it looks easy.

That’s why I had set the title to “No Mic Hardcore Gaming Stream” beforehand, and turned on the camera as a substitute for sound.

Of course, whether the camera could perfectly replace sound was uncertain, but broadcasting wasn’t my priority right now, so I didn’t care much.

Opera’s highest score last season was 1321 LP.

I couldn’t surpass their scores right now, at the beginning of the season.

But with the ranking system changes, the minimum cut for Challenger was changed to 500 points.

As a result, no one had yet surpassed 500 points, meaning no one had reached Challenger.

According to the current rankings, a Challenger-born BJ was leading with 250 LP.

I would surpass everyone trying to reach Challenger first and claim the first Challenger title.

Of course, I wouldn’t stop there and would raise my rank points as much as possible before this controversy cooled down.

Actually, there was no need to go this far, but I just wanted to try.

What would happen if I reached Challenger first in this situation?

What kind of reactions would people show? I was so curious and excited that I couldn’t resist.

To compare, it was similar to the thrilling sensation I felt before tormenting Curry.

The match was found, and I hovered Yone’s portrait.

But the opponent banned Yone, and I had to pick Talon.

There was a chance it was a targeted ban, but I had only been streaming for a short time.

Moreover, I was the one who indirectly encouraged the targeted ban from the start.

I didn’t hide the screen while queuing.

I had implicitly acknowledged the targeting by not hiding the screen.

Therefore, the Yone ban was highly likely a targeted ban, but I didn’t care.

This way, I wouldn’t be called a one-trick pony.

It’s true that I’m particularly good at Yone.

But I wasn’t so bad at LoL that I deserved to be called a Yone one-trick.

I decided to show them properly this time, so no one could make such ridiculous trash talk.

And so the game started.

On that day, Barcode’s record on stream was 7 wins 0 losses.

My solo queue record after turning off the stream was also 4 wins 0 losses.

The day ended only after a total of 11 wins 0 losses.

People were able to recall that Barcode was the ‘mysterious Yone master’ on this day.

Playing LoL and climbing the ranks all day.

It was something I had always done since I got hooked on LoL.

But maybe because I hadn’t exercised much recently, or because my body had changed.

I was so tired that I almost fell from dizziness when I woke up in the morning, both mentally and physically.

After about 8 hours, each game became very difficult.

But my team luck was better than before, and I was able to surpass Master 100 points smoothly.

After drinking a cup of coffee for mental refreshment, I started preparing to stream again today.

Yesterday, I started solo queue as soon as I turned on the stream, but today I planned to talk a bit before that.

There was no other special reason, I just couldn’t eat the sandwich Ji-hye had prepared while playing the game.

“Unnie, fighting!”

Ji-hye left her shy encouragement and quickly left the room.

A smile naturally spread across my lips, and without delay, I turned on the stream.

I continued my breakfast, hiding my raised lip corners with the sandwich.

[What’s with the mukbang as soon as you come on?]

[Is this the “mysterious Yone master” stream?]

[Catching a malicious viewer pretending to be a newbie]

[Barcode high]

[Score reversal in just one day lol]

[Truly legendary]

I read the incoming chats one by one and surveyed the atmosphere.

As expected, the viewers were enjoying themselves without me doing anything.

And for good reason, I had surpassed Opera and Drill’s scores in just one day after the controversy.

Just as I was about to finish my meal and start my no-mic hardcore solo queue stream as usual.

A viewer’s chat asking to play video donations caught my eye, and deciding to take a little more time, I allowed video donations.

The no-mic thing was a concept during the climb, so I didn’t turn on the microphone.

After waiting for a short while, a Twitch clip arrived, and upon checking the clip’s thumbnail through the stream manager, the corners of my lips involuntarily turned upwards.

It was a clip from Curry’s channel, and even though it had only been a day, it felt like I hadn’t seen it in ages, and a smile didn’t leave my face. I played the arrived clip from Curry, stopping everything I was doing and entering viewing mode.

-There’s been a lot of talk about Barcode-nim, so I’ll say one thing.

-These days, are people without basic professional ethics even considered pros? This world is ridiculous.

-What? Be careful with your angles? What angles? You think they might sue?

-If you didn’t want to get caught, you shouldn’t have gotten caught.

[crazy b*tch]

[He’s really out of his mind]

[Angle breaker Park Curry ]

[He says what needs to be said, Coca Curry]

[Newbies are shocked by the spicy Curry!]

[This is the taste of home lol]

Usually, when such controversies or incidents occur, those not directly involved are careful with their words.

Because trying to make a bold statement and causing another controversy would only harm them.

But in the video, Curry didn’t care about anyone’s feelings and was just openly insulting them.

“Hmph…”

It could have been acting, but no matter how I looked at it, that was a genuinely angry Curry. He pretended to dislike me on the outside, but when it came to this, he was the first to step up and insult them, which was strangely cute. Of course, knowing Curry’s personality well, I knew that his anger was expressed without personal feelings towards me. But thanks to him, my condition, which had been just okay until then, started to perk up.

[Curry is really going no-holds-barred]

[What’s with the “I’ll protect my woman” sweetness…]

[Reassuring! Sweet Curry Man!]

[Ah, refreshing. That’s what I call cider]

After the video ended, I closed the video donations and tidied up my desk.

To call it tidying up, I basically just pushed the dishes and cups to the side.

Anyway, having regained my energy, I immediately started queuing.

It was early morning, and I expected the queue to take a long time because of my high score.

But the game was found in about 3 minutes, and after pressing the accept button, I hovered Yone as soon as I entered the champion select screen.

Hoping that they would ban Yone, or that a twisted ally would ban him.

Unfortunately, my ally didn’t ban Yone.

But the opponent’s 5th pick banned Yone, and I happily picked Sylas.

Sylas was a champion I was experimenting with recently, and since his performance wasn’t bad, I used him often.

The champion selections proceeded, and the opponent’s 5th pick, who had banned Yone, picked Kai’Sa.

The opponent’s 4th pick, who was picking at the same time, then picked Pantheon, and judging from their composition, Pantheon was likely support.

Kai’Sa and Pantheon.

A common bot lane combination.

There was a duo who often used that combination in this bracket.

But I dismissed the suspicion that started to rise in my mind.

Even so, would they play a game at this time, less than a day after the controversy?

Playing a game now would mean they have absolutely no sense of tact, and surely grown adults wouldn’t be that clueless.

Moreover, since duo queue was disabled for Master and above at the start of this season, the probability of the opponent’s bot lane being that duo was close to zero.

However, the opponent’s Kai’Sa banned my main champion, Yone.

It was too suspicious to completely dismiss the suspicion.

“Nah, would they really target me after causing such a controversy?”

It was a scenario that was impossible in reality, disregarding all logic.

Concluding that it was just a delusion, an empty process, I cleared all the suspicion from my complicated mind.

And then, the game started.

After checking the opponent’s bot lane duo’s nicknames, I let out a dry laugh.

Opera and Drill.

This tactless, thick-skinned duo was targeting me.
