[TS] Malicious Sniper

Streamer Curry.

He was a popular League of Legends streamer with 500,000 subscribers.

Thanks to his unique remarks and insane high tension, he rapidly grew as a streamer.

Despite the continuous influx, Streamer Curry’s popularity increased daily.

But the rise in popularity wasn’t necessarily all good.

‘These damn pimples…’

Streamer Curry, Park Gwon-tae, stared blankly at the game loading screen.

It had already been a year since he switched platforms.

But ‘malignant pimples’ still remained on Park Gwon-tae’s broadcast.

Known as ‘the underworld,’ Noryang City was a place that, in the past, Gwon-tae had betrayed, his hometown, to leave for the new streaming platform, Twitch.

Thanks to that, his broadcast grew quickly, but perhaps too quickly, remnants of the past pimples were still there.

Notably, the three showing on this loading screen.

Two had toxic usernames, but the real villain was different.

Nayun Queen.

Back when Park Gwon-tae was streaming as ‘PD Gwon-tae Park’ and not Streamer Curry in Noryang City.

Suddenly, Nayun Queen appeared and started targeting him every time Gwon-tae started a game.

Some might think, “But isn’t it rare to succeed at sniping?”

But Nayun Queen was unlike any ordinary sniper.

Nayun Queen, Nayun Princess, Nayun Prince.

She was sniping simultaneously with three different accounts.

The realization came thanks to a tip from a viewer.

Three IDs with similar but different nicknames.

Those three accounts were parked in the high tier of Diamond where they played.

Moreover, the three IDs had never started a game at the same time.

In short, the sniping chances were raised with three computers and three similar-tier accounts.

While other snipers were just fake crazies,

Nayun Queen was the ‘real madness.’

‘After being quiet for a while…’

When PD Gwon-tae Park transformed into Streamer Curry,

Nayun Queen began to fade into obscurity without revealing herself.

But now,

In this rare opportunity matched with a showdown player after the World Cup,

that damned malignant pimple, the notorious sniper had targeted him.

There were even other snipers around.

Just playing with the showdown player was enough to make a viral moment happen.

Wasn’t the hottest potato in esports right now the showdown player?

A video with around a million views was practically guaranteed right in front of him, but,

Gwon-tae decided to give up on that million views.

His 20 points were far more valuable than a million views.

Tears in his eyes, Gwon-tae moved the mouse cursor over the X to exit.

Click-

[Are you leaving now?]

If you exit the game now, summoner…

A dodge confirmation message appeared on the screen, and as the game start timer hit one second,

“F*CKING HELL!!!”

Park Gwon-tae screamed and clicked the mouse.

[No way]

[Ultimate bore]

<...>

[To throw away a potential viral moment…]

[Are you really throwing this away?]

[Showdown will carry us anyway, and you’re throwing this away, lol]

[Info) The match started according to the stats site already]

“Started? Don’t f*cking joke with me!!!”

At a viewer’s comment, Gwon-tae quickly reconnected.

As soon as he reconnected, what appeared on the screen was none other than… the game loading screen.

“Ah, sh*t.”

[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

[LOLOLOLOLOL]

[Feeling dizzy, huh?]

[Hehee… Nayun Unni… Hehee… Nayun Unni… Hehee… Nayun Unni… Hehee… Nayun Unni… Hehee… Nayun Unni… Hehee… Nayun Unni… Hehee… Nayun Unni…]

Cheers of joy, it’s hilarious!

[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

[Stop spamming, f*cking hell]

[Let’s go~ let’s go~ let’s go~ let’s go~ let’s go~ let’s go~ let’s go~ let’s go~ let’s go~]

[Let’s do it!]

[LOLOLOLOLOL]

[Unni, I’m dying~ Unni, I’m dying~ Unni, I’m dying~ Unni, I’m dying~ Unni, I’m dying~ Unni, I’m dying~ Unni, I’m dying~]

[Please stomp on me, princess, please stomp on me, princess, please stomp on me, princess, please stomp on me, princess, please stomp on me, princess…]

The chaos in the chat was already filled with joyous pandemonium.

Ignoring the chat, Gwon-tae kept repeating positive affirmations.

‘This could actually be a good thing.’

‘It’s a showdown after all.’

‘Guaranteed 1 million views… What should I name the video for clicks?’

Though serious about the game, Gwon-tae was also a proper streamer.

He tried to avoid it, but since he could not, he had to enjoy the situation.

Positive mindset.

That was the secret to Curry maintaining his high tension for long.

The game started.

I quickly bought the standard items for an AP champ: a Doran’s Ring and two potions.

Then I pinged furiously to let my teammates know the route I would take while rolling my snowball.

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

As I pinged, my teammates moved.

Starting a bit late from the fountain, I rolled my snowball at the halfway point.

As a result,

[First Blood!]

The opposing Zard got hit by my snowball in a traffic accident while checking the invade.

“Wow, I get to start with a kill. By the way, the Zard getting hit by something like that is more legendary, right?”

Did I forget who helped me secure that First Blood?

I felt a bit, just a tiny bit, unsatisfied.

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Are you happy?

So I asked Curry for the first time in a while.

If he was happy about getting First Blood.

But no reply came back, and my inner mischief started to bubble.

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Aatrox – Survive

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Aatrox – Survive

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Aatrox – Survive

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Aatrox – Survive

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Aatrox – Survive

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Aatrox – Survive

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Respond, please

“What the hell is this crazy girl doing…”

Curry typed angrily on his keyboard while streaming.

While he wasn’t watching chat, he was hearing the sounds, so we could guess what he was doing.

The Lonely Gourmet (Aatrox): sigh…

Curry gave a splendid answer to my question.

The mischief that had been bubbling started to dissipate, replaced by a sense of satisfaction.

[Hehe… Unni…]

[The First Blood given by the Queen, wow!]

[Whoa!]

[Seeing him makes me cringe, he looks like a 20-something unemployed dude with hair in weird places smoking.]

[Ugh, f*ck.]

[Curry, where’s your pride as a great general?]

[Shut your mouth and meet ‘a glorious death.’]

[Nayun Unni, please don’t act all cute.]

Checking Curry’s broadcast on my phone, sneaking a peek at the chat made me feel even more thrilling.

“I want to cuss at that b*tch too. But if I get reported this time, it’s a 30-day ban.”

[Scared?]

[You don’t have any guts?]

[Does your heart not even beat?]

[Am I getting banned? Haha!]

“Look at them talking sh*t like it’s not about them.”

Having finished scanning the reactions, I moved up and turned the Oracle Lens I had saved.

The brush at the central river where the stone crab appears is often warded by the opposing mid or jungle.

‘Of course.’

Finding a ward in the bush, I quickly removed it.

Then, going back down to the mid second tower, I stood beside the tower and waited.

[Minions have spawned.]

I rolled my snowball in sync with the advancing speed of the minions.

After brushing through the melee minion once, I wiped out the three ranged minions behind in one go.

Truly an overwhelming lane-pushing ability.

Nana had the fastest lane-pushing ability at level 1.

In contrast, what about Zard?

While not the slowest, he was comparatively slow at pushing lanes.

After cleaning up the remaining melee minions with basic attacks, I leveled up.

Hitting level 2, I skill E and immediately started moving downwards, slipping out of the enemy’s vision.

‘If this works, the enemy bottom has to back off.’

Our bottom duo was Garen and Brando.

On the other hand, the opponents had Caitlyn and Morgana.

Naturally, the long-range Caitlyn and strong CC Morgana would dominate the push.

But by disappearing outside their visual range with my downward movement, their bottom had no choice but to back off.

If this were a Bronze or Silver level, this strategy wouldn’t work.

But this was Diamond.

In fact, a high-tier Diamond where only the top 0.1% are, so my plan was bound to succeed.

I turned my movement up, taking advantage of the fact that the stone crab had not spawned yet,

swiftly rolling my snowball toward the top while pinging furiously.

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp) is on the way

An unexpected timing for roaming.

Both allies and enemies bewildered, it was the extreme roaming of Nana causing chaos among the two tops.

To poke at the beginning, Kamal, who had taken W at level 1, hastily used Flash in panic.

But flustered, he dashed straight back, and I forced my snowball on him.

With Kamal airborne, Aatrox perfectly executed his Q-Flash combo.

In that moment, slowing him with E, then binding him again.

And the bound Kamal got airlifted once more by Aatrox’s second Q.

Finishing off the severely weakened Kamal with Aatrox’s third Q…

[You have slain an enemy.]

…was the end.

A chaos-class CC combo and a perfect teamwork display.

“Jenna! What the hell was that, Nana?!”

[Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen! Nayun Queen!]

[Is this a princess…? Is this a princess…? Is this a princess…? Is this a princess…? Is this a princess…? Is this a princess…? Is this a princess…? Is this a princess…? Is this a princess…?]

[The queen of League of Legends! The queen of League of Legends! The queen of League of Legends! The queen of League of Legends! The queen of League of Legends!]

Image of joy dominating the chaos!

[Whoa, sh*t, that was insane.]

[How the f*ck is someone level 2 before the first wave even ends? Is this a bug?]

[Is it because she got First Blood xp?]

[Are you hogging the chat alone, you brats?]

The vibe of the broadcast and chat was at the breaking point.

It was heated to a high degree.

Watching such reactions made my body tremble for some reason.

An electric feeling surged through my body filled with joy and excitement.

Nayun Queen (Nana and Wyrmp): Are you happy?

I asked Curry once again.

Kiiing… Cling… Haah…!

The Lonely Gourmet (Aatrox): sigh…

Curry provided me with satisfying answers twice.
