Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 98: Just One Round

“Anyone who wants to target me, go ahead. I’m confident I can win against almost anyone.”

I said this in advance to the viewers.

It didn’t matter if they tried to snipe me.

I just had to win and move on.

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: I’m going to snipe right now, ㅇㅇ]

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Just wait for it]

[High-tier sniping is really easy, and yet you're asking for it]

[Rize: Can I actually snipe?]

[Gang Hoo-min: Rize, you HAVE to snipe. DO IT. DO IT. DO IT.]

[Hoo-min’s in a hurry, lol]

[Guess it's understandable, ㅇㅇ..]

[If you're gonna do a nude self-pleasure show, why not use an anal plug? I'm not a lesbian, but I’m curious]

[Temporarily banned!]

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Stop talking dirty...]

Rize said she was going to snipe.

Honestly, I was a little nervous.

My laning skills had improved, but I wasn’t confident enough to completely dominate Rize.

It would be better to avoid her if possible.

“Well... I don’t mind if you snipe... You know that, right?”

I gave a vague hint.

This should make her reconsider sniping me right away.

[Rize: Ah, I understand what you mean]

[Rize: Got it]

[Rize: Understood]

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Did you understand correctly?]

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: I’m skeptical, lol]

[If Rize is in the next game, that’s suspicious, lol]

[Gang Hoo-min: Please just snipe...]

If Rize ignored the warning and started a solo queue game, there was nothing I could do.

I’d just have to meet her and give her a good talking-to.

Avoiding her wasn’t an option.

‘I can’t avoid her anyway, how would I even dodge?’

I couldn’t run away if I wanted to.

With that thought, I started queuing up.

Then, I received a message.

Since I was live, I quickly checked it on the second computer.

[Ye-ram: Hey, oppa]

[Ye-ram: What are you doing with Dabin lately?]

[Ye-ram: (photo)]

[Ye-ram: What are you saying here?]

I could tell that Ye-ram was really mad based on her tone.

Reading the message carefully, I could see why she would have misunderstood.

A guy and a girl meeting up and working out together...

For a high school senior, it would definitely be easy to misinterpret.

‘How cute.’

I smiled wryly, thinking it was cute, and looked over at Ye-ram glaring at me from the other side.

I sent her a message.

[Me: I registered at the gym]

[Me: Met Dabin there]

[Me: I was getting PT]

[Me: What exactly did you misunderstand...]

A little while later—

“Ugh...”

With a small exclamation, Ye-ram buried herself in the blanket.

It seemed like she was embarrassed.

But I wasn’t planning on letting her off the hook.

When this happens, it’s best to tease her relentlessly.

[Me: Hiding under the blanket]

[Me: Doesn’t mean it’s going to be forgotten]

[Me: Like an ostrich]

[Me: Time to face reality, mm]

[Ye-ram: Oppa, please]

[Ye-ram: ㄷㅊ]

“Pff.”

I couldn’t hold back a small chuckle as I continued to think about which champion I’d play next.

I wanted to pick a fun champion for the last game.

Which one should I go for?

Just then, the first game got matched.

Ding-

I quickly accepted and checked the names of my teammates.

Just in case there was someone I knew.

But unfortunately, there was no one I recognized.

“Looks like I don’t know anyone.”

The only person I recognized was Rize.

But since there were no snipers, it was actually a good sign.

There was nothing worse than having a sniper on your team.

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: What’s this]

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Jungle is getting wrecked????]

[Lol, lol, lol, lol]

[The jungle player is getting wrecked, lol]

[Rize, try acting like you know them ㅇㅇ]

[Are you sitting next to Rize right now?]

[Rize: Huh? What’s going on?]

[Rize: Why is Bali here?]

[Rize: That person is really good at League lately]

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

“...Wait, I don’t know, is that person famous?”

Honestly, I didn’t know.

Rize barely knew them, so how would I know?

But if I said that honestly, it might cause trouble, so I tried to stay neutral.

Then—

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Are you serious right now]

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: How can you not know Bali?]

[How could you not know the GOAT of League?]

[Taiwan ㅋㅋ]

[China ㅋㅋ]

[Hong Kong ㅋㅋ]

[Gang Hoo-min: Hawaii ㅋㅋ]

[But seriously, if you’re going to joke, you’d have seen Bali’s name in pro games]

[Hwanhee: If you play enough, you’ve probably seen Bali’s name on the jungle player]

The chat was going wild.

I didn’t know, but it seemed like this person was well-known.

Judging by the excitement, they had to be famous.

“I’m guessing they’re a pro from what I’m seeing in the chat. If so, we can rely on them. That’s good.”

Pro players are known for being good at the game, after all.

They’ve spent so much time studying the game that they usually have great mental and strategic skills.

So, I thought I could trust this game to go well.

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Hmm...]

[Rize: Our jungle player is good, but]

[Rize: To be honest]

[Rize: She has clear high and low points]

[Rize: So don’t expect too much]

[Lol, lol, lol, lol, lol]

[The teammate is talking about their high and low points like that...]

[That’s funny, lol]

[Gang Hoo-min: Sigh]

But there were some negative evaluations coming through.

I felt a little uneasy.

How could a pro player hear this kind of comment from a teammate?

What kind of game play would make them say something like that?

I felt a bit uneasy but chose to pick Yone for now.

The pro player “Bali” picked Sejuani.

“Looks like they’re going for top lane.”

They must have checked my history.

That’s why they picked Sejuani, a champion that pairs well with melee champions.

I felt good about it and started the game.

“...Rize. Do you have this person’s number?”

I was serious.

I didn’t expect a pro player to perform like this.

They picked a tank champion, so I thought they’d at least be able to land basic hits, but they didn’t breathe for a second and ended up with 9 deaths.

Somehow, we won the game, but I needed a break.

[Gang Hoo-min: But their performance is really clear, lol]

[Gang Hoo-min: The lows are obvious]

[Rize: Should I connect to Discord for you?]

[Rize: I heard they wanted to talk to you]

[🗡️ Jeon Ji-Jong Neung Han Cthulhu: Oh]

[Sounds good]

[What are they going to talk about?]

[Maybe they just want to argue on Discord]

[Hwanhee: But seriously, is there anything the jungle player needs to address with the top lane?]

Discord, huh.

Since I was taking a break anyway, it seemed like a good choice.

“Then please invite me to the public room.”

I asked for the connection, hoping they weren’t a weird person.

And a moment later—

Ah, can you hear me~!?

A loud, booming voice filled my ears, like a train whistle.

“Ah, yes. Are you Bali?”

Yes, yes!!

By the way, what did you want to talk to me about on Discord?”

This was the most curious part.

If I was the one contacting them to complain, that would be one thing, but there was no reason for them to contact me first.

After I asked, the response came.

There were too many mistakes in your in-game performance, so I came to point them out!

“...What?”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

Was I hearing this right?

They came to point out my mistakes when they were the ones who had 9 deaths without even breathing?

I almost lost my temper but managed to calm myself down and spoke.

“...In terms of in-game performance, I played perfectly though?”

That was the simple truth.

It was hard to play a game as cleanly as I did.

Then—

No, there were definitely better options.

“...Could you explain which parts?”

Sure, let me share my screen, just check this out!

“Alright.”

I decided to listen first and then decide how to respond.

I was curious what they were going to say.

With that in mind, I entered the Discord and paid close attention to what Bali was saying.

So here, if you push to the extreme, you could even catch the enemy jungle!

“...That’s true.”

Surprisingly, Bali’s points weren’t entirely unreasonable.

If I had been more mechanical, I could have gained more from certain situations.

They were small details, but they were valid.

At that moment, Bali continued.

We need to beat Rize one more time. I heard about the rumors, and that’s why I contacted you. We need to fix these small things to perfectly beat Rize.

I could sense Bali’s sincerity.

But now, it was time to analyze Bali’s movement.

“Alright, that feedback is done. Now let me analyze your movements one by one.”

It was time to break down Bali’s plays.
