Pro Gamer Raised by Selling 244

Chapter 244 – 244. A New Monster Appears (3)

The game has begun.

The stage of the first division that I had been waiting for.
The pressure made my body tremble even when I was still.

[OZ Min: Don’t be too nervous. Just do it as usual.]

The leader of the team and the oldest, Kang Min-hyung, comforted me, but the tension did not ease easily.

‘Whoa… Are you okay. A moderate amount of tension would be rather helpful.’

Besides, it was obvious that the opposing team was even more nervous.
It is clear that not only the players of Battle Angels, who are new to the 1st league stage, but especially Shia, who is playing for the first time as a pro, are not breathing properly.

‘Even at a quick glance, he seems to have a very timid personality. Can he demonstrate his skills on such a big stage?’

Thinking like that made me feel a little more at ease.

The line war started without anything special.
He had already heard it through the ears of his coach, manager, and teammates, but this set was a game he could only win if he persevered.

Ares, like a sword character, is an advantageous character only in a 1v1 composition, but if you enter the teamfight level, its value doubles.
Thanks to that, if he doesn’t grow well in the laning phase, there’s a high chance that he’ll become like a giraffe in the second half.

On the other hand, what about the Gilgamesh he caught?
He was a character capable of gold farming using passive skills.

If you get through the beginning well, you can accelerate your growth by picking up items faster than others with the gold you have accumulated steadily.

‘It’s a much more comfortable composition for me. I just need to waste my time while farming moderately.’

He made his way to the line with the creeps and started eating CS.
He intended to manage HP by hiding behind allied creeps as much as possible.

‘Huh?’

There was no change in the strategy until Ares, the opposing mid character, proudly walked up to him.
With his first skill, he ate the last hit of the minion, and after a long time farming, he blocked Ares’s sword with a puzzled face.

‘They openly challenged me to a fight like this?’

Knowing Arena’s system, it was a decision that was never easy to make.
This is because creeps target enemy characters that attack friendly characters first.

Besides, the number of friendly creeps is much higher because he was holding enemy creeps until just now.

Even if you trade moderately and then leave, you will benefit from the trade due to the difference in creep.

After lightly swinging a knife at Ares, Fresh tried to step back as planned.
If Ares had stopped the attack, the operation would have succeeded.

Kang!

His sword bounced off with a clicking sound.
It was Ares’ passive skill, ‘Counterattack’.

Fresh was caught in a brief stun, and in the meantime was mercilessly attacked.
A little taken aback, he quickly opened up the distance and got out of range.

It wasn’t unexpected.
Ares is the essence of a 1v1 fight.
His representative skill, ‘Counterattack’, is an all-around skill that can defend everything from long distances to short distances.

However, as a character with an atrocious sword, the difficulty of hitting the counterattack was quite high.
It is important for him to hit the opponent’s attack accurately, but the timing has to be right.

‘I can’t help it. I just need to farm with arrows for a while.’

But Fresh was not discouraged.
Although there was a loss of physical strength, it was restored by drinking a potion, and in the meantime, you can farm with a bow instead of a sword.

This is also a great advantage of Gilgamesh, the King of Farming.

He puts his knife in, pulls out his bow, and starts eating CS.

‘Besides, if it’s a long distance, it’s easy to keep in check.’

Ares is a thorough melee character.
He could also use range to keep him in check.

Fresh fired arrows at the enemy and did not stop his check.
The sin of taking out the knife character, spend a painful time and repent!

Kang! Kang!

However, the arrows that were flying vigorously changed their direction so much that they came back to him.
He narrowly dodged the attack by rolling on the ground.

‘…It must be a coincidence?’

Unable to believe what he had seen, he shot Ares again with an arrow.
However, the scene that followed was no different from the one close to the feat we had just seen.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

[OZ Fresh: What is this… ]

Fresh only when he unknowingly makes a stupid noise.
He had no choice but to do so because the mid laner, who was shooting arrows, was deflecting them with his sword.
All of that while activating the ‘counterattack’ skill.

Unlike melee attacks, ranged attacks are reflected immediately after successful counterattacks.
Thanks to that, Fresh had no choice but to throw his body once again to avoid the arrow returning to him.

As the situation progressed, fear gradually spread throughout her body.
Twice he rolled on the ground, but not all arrows were dodged.

That’s why HP didn’t recover that much even after drinking the potion.

‘You said you counterattacked everything? Shit, it can’t be.’

Akmun Fresh dedicated this to evil and fired arrows more skillfully and precisely.
CS farming had long been forgotten in his mind.

Kang! Kang!

I also shot arrows at the time Ares was eating CS,

Kang! Kang!

When he pushed the line and showed his back he even fired an arrow.

Kang! Kang!

However, every time that happens, Shia continues to block out long-range attacks casually and successfully counterattacks.
The difficulty of the character Ares was that it was difficult to counterattack a frontal attack in a peaceful laning situation.

He was also a rookie pro gamer who was confident in his physical skills, so he knew it well.
No pro gamer in existence has been able to counterattack so perfectly.

This is impossible unless something is bugged or hacks are used.

[OZ Min: What’s going on?]

The team’s leader, jungler, Min asked.
Fresh, the team’s new player, had been muttering something in an unusual atmosphere from earlier, so I couldn’t help but be concerned.

However, Fresh, who had already run out of HP and was returning home, was not in a state of mind to give an answer leisurely.

[OZ Fresh: Mi, please come to the mid… This is something strange.]

If you listen to the mid, it wasn’t very good in terms of movement, but I couldn’t ignore the ominous feeling that was filling up at 22.

Min tries to gank mid mid as requested by Fresh.
And he too realizes that something is going wrong.

###

The caster and commentator’s astonishment and the audience’s admiration jumped out when the mid-lane battle situation was shown.

“Once again, the composition of the mid-lane is very important. It’s up to you whether Shia breaks through or Fresh blocks!”
“It’s the so-called spear and shield battle! If I just block it, Gilgamesh can come back to life, right?”
“That’s right. Gilgamesh is literally a character who makes money, so he will grow up quickly if you give him a little time.”

While the commentators are explaining, a small skirmish between the mid laners takes place.
Fresh started the deal exchange by hitting the opponent.

Kang!

“Oh! Successful counterattack!”
“This is Ares! If you use your counterattack properly, you can’t lose in a one-on-one match!”
“The counterattack succeeds very easily. Player Fresh also looks embarrassed because he didn’t expect to be counterattacked so easily, right?”

He wasn’t too surprised until the first successful counterattack.
It was obviously a skill with a high level of difficulty, but it was also a skill made to be used.
If he was a pro gamer, he could show off his physical abilities to this extent.

But then, when Ares fired arrows in succession, the situation became inexplicable with simple exclamations.

“Hey, what is this? It seems that all the arrows were deflected with a counterattack.”
“…I thought that one day a player like this would appear. I never expected that a player with this level of physicality would be a woman. What a surprise!”

The audience is fascinated by Sia’s splendid movements.
The atmosphere reached its climax when Ozone Frost’s mid laner, Medusa, came to gank.

Fresh’s response and Sia’s leisurely escape from the scene while deflecting all of Medusa’s arrows!

She only dodged one of her ganks, but her miraculous play erupted into thunderous cheers from the audience.

“Waaaaa!!”
“Sia! Sia! Sia!”

Could it be because of the stadium that was immediately enveloped in heat?
Commentators and casters were also busy praising Shia, making all sorts of fuss.

“Sia!! No, what is this?! To be able to play like this!”
“I’ve never seen a player who uses counterattacks so well. I heard rumors that this player is good physically, but was this enough?”
“It was a huge superplay… ! It’s a monster-like physicality!!”

Since then, her unbelievable play has continued.
Holding a sword and deflecting all attacks while sweeping the battlefield was like a nightmare for Ozone Frost.

It was obviously a difficult skill and had the weakness of being able to counterattack only with moderately heavy physical attacks, but he succeeded so easily that he felt like a fraudulent character.

The game gradually moves towards the middle.
Around that time, the other Battle Angels players also began to show off their might.
God Dog showed off his unique aggression and got twisted in the top line, and Ryu, who was second in terms of physicality, also succeeded in becoming a major contributor to victory in small teamfights while receiving support from the team.

“I didn’t know today that the Battle Angels are such an aggressive team?!”
“The game is already leaning! Ozone Frost was the second-place team last season?!”
“Ah… Player Fresh seems to be very flustered. Mistakes that shouldn’t have been made have been coming up ever since. At times like this, you need to hold on to your mentality!”

Players of Battle Angels run amok as if every place on the map is their territory.

Contrary to its reputation, Ozone Frost was collapsing in vain.
Plays that seemed to have already been broken continued to appear.

As if he couldn’t concentrate properly, he went forward without noticing that he was killing each other, and was bitten to death in an instant.

“Battle Angels! End the game like this?!”
“Is this really a catastrophe?! The Battle Angels, who just entered the first division this season, beat Ozone Frost, a prestigious gaming team?!”
“GG!! An unexpected accident occurred from the first match of the opening match! Battle Angels!! How far are you planning to go?!”

Fans of Battle Angels jumped up from their seats and cheered, while fans of Ozone Frost made faces of despair.

I didn’t know that Ozone Frost, who had been in the ranks of the strong teams for all four years, would lose to a new team that had just risen to the first division in less than a year.

But the sad part was that their nightmare wasn’t over yet.
In the waiting booth of Battle Angels, a man who confirmed that the first set of strategies worked was smiling evilly.
