Gender Swap: The Introvert’s Broadcast

“Let’s win, really. Fighting.”
Normally, I wouldn’t say something like this, but since this match was so important, the words just came out naturally. It was the result of my strong desire to win.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: How nervous is he, lol] [강후민입니다: Damam being this nervous] [강후민입니다: I’ve never seen him this nervous except when going to a part-time job interview lol] [Part-time job interviews are nerve-wracking though…] [Well, I guess part-time job interviews are understandable] [Let’s go] [Please lose with a 3-0 sweep, please lose with a 3-0 sweep, please lose with a 3-0 sweep, please lose with a 3-0 sweep] You have been temporarily muted! [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: If you curse, you get muted, lol...] [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: I don’t really want to, but it’s the rule so I have no choice]

After saying that, the real ban picks began.
“I’ll go with Kindred for jungle.”
Generally, it’s best to go with Kindred. There are other champions like Nidalee, but in my opinion, Kindred is the best for carrying.

Then I’ll take the second pick! “Alright, let’s do that.”
 
However, I didn’t feel like picking the first champion, so I chose support first.
“Rimaldo, is Leona okay for support?”

Ah, yeah. Leona’s great. “Then choose Leona, please.”
 
As I said last time, it’s crucial for the ADC to survive. That’s why I chose Leona. She’s a great champion for catching dives, and she’s also good for counter diving.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Leona’s definitely good] [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: The problem is she’s boring] [If she were fun, it wouldn’t matter, but she’s boring, lol] [강후민입니다: Honestly, just using the other teammates as tools, lol] [Using her as a tool is actually the right move] [환희: If she plays well, maybe not, but using her as a tool is the right way]

After choosing the support champion, the enemy team immediately picked their bottom lane. With a high-tier ADC, they prioritized champions that would strengthen their bot lane.
“Sure enough, since their ADC’s tier is high, this is a bit tricky…”
Up until now, other teams were usually strong in top or mid lanes, which made it easier to counter them. But when the ADC is strong, that becomes a little more difficult.

If you use the jungle as the second support, it’s tough to counter them.
“Then let’s go for a combination that makes it easier to counter the other lanes.”
Got it.
 

After that, the rest of the ban picks went smoothly. Knowing the enemy’s ADC was their ace, we optimized our team composition to counter them. And the enemy mid picked Zed, too.
“This is something we’re not losing, so don’t worry. Our composition is way better.”
It was a simple fact.
Of course, objectively speaking, our composition wasn’t great. But evaluations are always relative. Compared to the enemy, our composition was much better.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: But Haton...] [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Is it really a good idea to give him the hard-carry ADC?] [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: I’m a bit nervous about that] [For real, a little nervous] [Can we win?] [It’s not just any ADC, it’s a challenger-tier ADC, it’s questionable] [강후민입니다: Please lose, please lose, please lose, please lose, please lose, please lose] You have been temporarily muted! [Curious whether we can win now]
After picking, I realized our team lacked enough damage, so I gave Haton the hard-carry ADC role.
‘Well, I think it’ll be fine.’

I trust Haton. Based on what I’ve seen, I’m confident he can perform well.
“By the way, Parsley, how much of your innate energy can you use? If possible, it’d be best to use 100% of it.”
If it’s 100%, I’d die after one game… “Ah, then let’s use 20% per game.”

If I use 5 full charges, will I die…? “Exactly, so you’ll have to do your best before hitting that 5 charge limit.”
Got it..!
 

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: ??] [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: What kind of conversation is this?] [These idiots, lol] [For the first time, Parsley actually seems pitiful..] [What’s this, pulling out innate energy like a portable charger, lol] [But using 20% per game lowers its value, right?] [It’s not a great idea since you have to let the body take control]
With Parsley’s competitive spirit ignited, we started the game.
“Hyunmin, just focus on winning the laning phase. It’ll be easier to win that way.”

We should win this, but it’s more convenient if Hyunmin wins the laning phase to control the game.
A moment later, the game began.
“Go for Malphite!!!”

Yep!!!
 
As soon as I spoke, Parsley threw himself into the enemy’s territory. Then, shortly after—
[Triple Kill!]

It was an incredible achievement. Yet, I didn’t feel all that great. If things had gone well, we could’ve wiped them all out in one go.
A little disappointing, maybe.
“This is good enough. We’ll win this game easily.”

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Kindred has 8 stacks, we have to win, lol] [Can’t ignore 8 stacks on Kindred..] [If we lose after 8 stacks, are we even human?] [That’s not even Leore] [It’s unbelievable] [강후민입니다: Malphite and Maokai got the legendary 5-man ult, and if Kindred doesn’t flash and ult to save them, then what?]
I was curious what they were saying in the chat. Since I had turned the chat off to avoid potential stream-sniping risks, I couldn’t see.
‘I wonder if they’re complimenting us.’

It made sense. We did perform well.
Thinking that, I continued managing the game.
“ADCs, just keep attacking and don’t let them do anything, everyone.”

With Maokai, Leona, and Malphite—champions with some of the best initiation abilities—I said this. If they were another champion, I wouldn’t have said anything.
As I said that, we secured important objectives—
[Victory!]

We easily took the first set.
“Nice.”
I wasn’t overly happy, though. We still needed to win two more sets. I’d be happy once we won two more.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: We won pretty easily] [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Could it be?] [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Are we going to get a 3-0 sweep?] [강후민입니다: It’s so boring though] [강후민입니다: I hope the enemy bans and picks well for the next game and wins] [It’s not like we’re a weak team, though… this team with Damam is really strong..] [대 듀 공] [듀공아 나 지금 젖었어..] You have been temporarily muted. [Seriously, why the hell are they talking about sexual harassment after we won?]
“I’m really curious what they’re saying in the chat, since I’ve got it turned off.”
I thought I’d check the chat replay after the finals to see what was said. I was a bit excited to see what kind of comments were there.

As I rested, thinking this, the next match’s ban picks began.
We won the first set easily, but I didn’t think the second match would be so easy. I actually thought it might be more risky.
“Let’s go.”

With that, I started the next round’s ban picks.
A moment later, when the picks were over, I had to say something.
“Ban picks are totally messed up. I’m sorry.”

The ban picks were really messed up. We didn’t have a good team fight comp, and the laning phase wasn’t favorable either.
And the jungle didn’t pick a good carry champion, either.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: How did the ban picks get messed up this bad?] [🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Ban picks are always ruined with Du Gong, lol] [강후민입니다: We might as well just give this one up] [강후민입니다: There’s no point trying hard, we’ll probably lose anyway, lol] [Is this really the right choice?] [환희: We’ve endured enough, time for disaster to leave!] [You’ve really endured enough… I say resign from coaching]

Despite this, I spoke with optimism.
“Let’s all fight! We can win this!!”
I tried to instill some hope in everyone, and the second match began.

[Defeat!]
“Ah, that’s a shame.”
We lost.

If this continues, Parsley’s life is down to 60%.
 
With the unfortunate news...
