Chinese players had a very negative image in many areas, especially in the gaming world.
There were vicious rumors that had been around since the PC version.
And most of those rumors were true.
Hacks, bot farms, etc.
They were involved in almost every illegal activity that the game companies were trying to crack down on, and some games were even taken over by Chinese players and gradually headed toward ruin.
Some game companies even set region locks, specifically banning access from Chinese connections, when releasing games.
It was natural for Koreans to harbor negative feelings towards Chinese players in games.
It wasn’t exactly a matter of patriotism.
They simply disliked them because they were Chinese.
Moreover, in League of Storm, a rivalry had been formed for a long time.The professional league teams of Korea and China had been fighting for the throne for a very long time.
Last year, the Chinese team won the League of Storm World Championship, while the Korean team finished second.
Of course, the core pro gamers of that Chinese team were actually Koreans.
Anyway, the Smg I messed with was a pure Chinese AD carry who had a lot of fans.
Since I openly messed with such a figure, the viewers’ reactions were bound to be intense.
– “Soon, the Chinese will come at your house with axes, lol.”
– “I wish they’d stop playing on the Korean server since they can’t even speak Korean. Trash Ch*ngs.”
– “Ch*nks must die?”
– “LOL.”
– “Don’t cross the line. Disparaging Chinese people is racism.”
– “What racism, lol. That guy trolled six games in a row. How can you not be angry when a pro gamer does that on another server?”
The public opinion was continuously spewing anger towards Smg.
No wonder, considering that interview he gave after winning the World Championship in China last year.
He said something like Koreans could never beat Chinese players in virtual reality games.
It was nonsense.
Back then, the key players in that winning team were Koreans.
Of course, the current pro team he belonged to, <Emperor>, was composed entirely of Chinese players.
After overwhelmingly securing first place this season, they were advancing to this year’s World Championship.
It was obvious why he was playing on the Korean server.
This year’s World Championship was being held in Korea.
He was enjoying the game as part of his field training.
According to the viewers, he had shown similar behavior in previous games, not just this one.
A pro gamer trolling…
It was unimaginable if it were a Korean pro gamer.
Anyway, in that game, Smg kept getting killed by the enemy after seeing my chat, ending the game with a 15-minute surrender.
Apparently, he blocked me because, after “Taiwan Number One,” he said nothing and kept dying.
He was a shameless guy with a narrow mind.
– “Soon, Woo-rah-agh might be known in China as well.”
– “Smg is broadcasting on China Hia TV right now?”
– “Breaking news: Smg declares one-sided trolling if he sees Woo-rah-agh!”
– “LOL. He’s just messing around because it’s not his country. You can tell his level.”
Some viewers who could roughly understand Chinese shared the information in the chat.
They said he would troll one-sidedly if he met me.
Seeing the chat, Sung-shin cautiously asked me.
“Should we delay queuing up a bit, hyung?”
I frowned at Sung-shin’s words and answered.
“Sung-shin, is that what you should say in this situation?”
“…Hyung, I need to raise my rank.”
“Queue up immediately. This time, I’ll play AD carry. That way, we have less chance of meeting him on his team, right?”
“Smg is a world-class AD carry, hyung. You’ve never played AD carry even once…”
“Shut up and queue.”
“Yes.”
Reluctantly, Sung-shin started the game, and soon we matched up.
After a simple pick-ban process, I chose <Wanderer> and entered the game.
In the old days, it would have been considered trolling for a non-AD carry hero to go to the AD carry position, but things had changed a lot now.
Especially in virtual reality versions, it was quite common for non-AD carry heroes to appear in the bottom lane.
It was easier for melee heroes to fight.
AD carry heroes had to focus on hitting the enemy throughout the fight, which was quite tiring.
In contrast, melee heroes’ attacks were almost unavoidable, making it inherently easier for them.
Of course, if you controlled an AD carry hero well, you could achieve even more destructive power than in the PC version.
As the game started, I activated the in-game voice chat, and the support player who would be with me in the bottom lane spoke in an oddly greasy voice. ℟ANƟᛒƐS
“Being in the bottom lane with Woo-rah-agh… I’ll do everything you say. Hyung, I’m watching your stream too. Can you curse at me once?”
Kindly, our team’s support player picked a hero called <Mad Cow> to match my <Wanderer>.
The laning phase would be tough, but it was probably to increase our teamfight power.
I smiled at my support and said.
“Are you really watching the stream?”
He nodded with a gleam in his eye.
I had encountered many players like this on my way up, so it wasn’t awkward at all.
I closed my left eye, turned off the in-game voice, and spoke to the support in a good mood.
“From now on, you are just a tool. Act like a tool and do as I say. Lick when I say lick, die when I say die. Got it?”
A few seconds later,
The support smiled contentedly and nodded.
We soon moved to the legendary rift, and I could soon see the opponents’ nicknames.
I checked the opponent AD carry’s nickname first. Then I raised the corners of my mouth and nodded.
“Nice.”
<A person who doesn’t know how to speak Korean>
Smg’s nickname.
I successfully sniped him.
Viewers who saw the nickname with me started pouring donations and chat messages.
Among the constantly flowing text, the one that caught my eye the most was from a viewer with a quite familiar nickname.
‘국뽕미션맨’ donated 10,000 won!
[LOL, this is the perfect time for a mission. Win this game, 500,000 won. 50,000 won per kill. Go go?]
When I played <Samurai Wars> last time, a viewer who made the most donations to me.
I remember that they donated over 5 million won in total.
I didn’t know who or where they were, but I could say they were a very valuable customer to me.
I laughed out loud as I confirmed the donation.
“Is there any doubt?”
All my reactions were already being broadcast.
There was no reason not to jump on the nationalist coin now.
It was time to teach that arrogant Chinese player a lesson.
2.
In the bottom lane of League of Storm, while hero matchups were important, the most crucial element was the synergy between the AD carry and support.
According to the chat, this time Smg queued up with his professional gamer support.
In other words, the opposing bottom lane was Team Emperor’s bot duo.
They claimed to be the world’s strongest bot duo, aiming for the World Championship victory.
My support, seeing the enemy lineup, spoke in fear.
“Hyung, I’m nervous with 40,000 viewers, and now we’re up against a pro gamer duo. Is this even fair?”
My support was quite a talkative guy.
He kept glancing at me with fervent eyes and wouldn’t stop talking as we headed to the bottom lane.
I couldn’t blame him entirely.
With 40,000 viewers watching his gameplay, who wouldn’t feel the pressure?
But my support was a strange guy.
“I’m so excited. I feel like I can do anything with you, hyung.”
“Hey.”
“Yes!”
“Are you sniping?”
“Of course, hyung! Even though I look like this, I’m a Challenger support! I queued up with a smurf to snipe you, hehehe.”
He was very proud.
But it was good news to me.
If he was a Challenger support, he would be a very useful tool.
– “Even if he’s a Challenger support, isn’t it hard against a pro gamer duo…”
– “Didn’t you see Woo-rah-agh’s games against top pro gamers? He actually dominated.”
– “Top and bottom lanes are different lol.”
– “Besides, they’re the bot duo that won last year’s World Championship. Still, that’s a bit…”
Most viewers were saying that this game would be difficult.
The top and bottom lanes were very different.
But I glanced at the chat and casually said.
“If you’re going to talk about the game, put your rank in front of your name, kids.”
– “$A3) Haha, do you even know how to do that?”
– “A1) I bet they’ll die a total of 10 times in the bot lane and surrender, peace out.”
– “Most viewers must be in Iron rank lol.”
– “Why are you pretending you’re not one of them?”
– “Isn’t the lane matchup in their favor?”
Some viewers were offended by my words, but that was my intention.
“Shut up and just watch the game.”
When we arrived at the bottom lane, the enemy bot duo was already waiting for us.
Their composition was <Frost Archer> and <Glacial Shield>, a combo that could respond stably to any opponents.
That composition was balanced and didn’t care about matchups. If there was a skill gap, it could easily dominate the opponents.
I looked at the two and greeted them lightly.
Since they probably wouldn’t understand if I provoked them in Korean, I kindly spoke in English.
“Hey, Taiwan No.1, China No.99. Okay?”
The two Chinese players, who had been staring at me, grimaced severely.
I meant it as a good-natured challenge.
But they soon entered the laning phase with very serious expressions.
Pshoo!
Smg’s arrows started to harass us.
“Hyung! I don’t see any good angles for engaging. They’re controlling their distance too well.”
My support whined to me, looking distressed.
In fact, he was already down to half health.
I gave a clear solution to my whining support.
“As soon as we hit level 2, just dive in.”
“Hyung, I haven’t managed my health well…”
“Why does a tool talk so much? Just do what I tell you to do.”
At my sharp command, he nodded and, as soon as we hit level 2, he immediately used his skill to dive into the enemies.
<Mad Cow>’s skill lifts enemies within a certain range high into the air.
But it could be dodged depending on the enemy’s reaction speed.
Nonetheless, my support fearlessly dove into the enemies.
He was a very obedient tool.
He really did as he was told.
Smg’s <Frost Archer> reacted promptly to <Mad Cow>’s skill and dodged it.
As expected of a player who claimed to be the world’s best AD carry.
[The enemy has achieved first blood.]
“Hyung?”
“Yeah, good job.”
Our <Mad Cow> was helplessly pierced by the enemy’s arrows and died.
Smg of the enemy team took the first kill, and they immediately charged towards me.
Bwooong!
Having used all their skills to kill <Mad Cow>, they recklessly rushed at me.
The enemy’s arrows and shields narrowly missed me, and they began to surround me.
A 2v1 situation.
But I calmly swung my sword, blocking all their attacks, and slowly smiled as I glared at the two.
This game called League of Storm seemed to have better balance in the PC version.
Why?
In a game where even basic attacks could be dodged, what was the importance of synergy or strategy?
In the virtual reality version of League of Storm, physical skill could overcome everything.
Just like now.
I tightly gripped the sword in my hand and slowly walked forward.
The reason I had intentionally sacrificed our support to them.
It was simply to create this situation.
A situation where the enemies recklessly dive in to kill me.
It was a play based on confident reasoning that I couldn’t lose a 2v1 fight.
And generally, it’s true that you can’t win a 2v1 fight.
But that’s only in ‘general’ cases.
Psshhk.
I lightly stabbed my sword into the neck of <Frost Archer> and smiled.
It took only a moment for Smg’s expression to turn to one of shock as he suffered a fatal blow right before his eyes.
Wasn’t it said that around 4 million people were currently watching Smg’s stream in China?
Great.
It was the perfect timing to make my name known in China. Before finishing off the Frost Archer, I looked Smg straight in the eyes and said,
“Free Tibet. Free Hong Kong.”
Today, I intended to mercilessly trample on the pride of the Chinese.
This game, which would become a terrible memory for Smg, was just beginning.
