Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 86: You Don’t Know Pro Gamers

Duo for 3 Consecutive Wins.

It was an extremely intriguing proposal.

And even offering twenty bucks, too.

“Hm.”

I was in deep thought.

Honestly, I wanted to accept it right away, but if I did a duo right now, I’d feel like I was riding someone else’s coattails.

At least, I wanted to reach Grandmaster first and then do the mission.

“I do want to do it, but I think it’s better to hit Grandmaster first, so I’ll hold off for now.”

Who would turn down money?

If I could earn it quickly, I’d want to.

But right now, it wasn’t about the money, it was about the tier.

At least if I hit Grandmaster and then did the duo, I’d feel more at ease.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: This is the right move.]

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: It’s more important to raise the tier than be swayed by money.]

[팩트) Money is way more important.]

[Seems like duo would be more fun though... lol]

[환희: Anyway, we just need one more win for Grandmaster. Let’s win one and then duo.]

[강후민입니다: Let’s win quickly, go go.]

[Oh, really? Only one more match until Grandmaster? In that case, let’s just play one more and duo after.]

It seemed like the viewers agreed with me.

Considering the way I had been playing lately, it made sense.

It wasn’t surprising that they were skeptical.

With that thought in mind, I queued for the game.

“I just hope my teammate is a bit more normal this time.”

I wasn’t expecting perfection.

Just an appropriately normal teammate would be enough.

Someone who could follow my initiation and help me stay alive.

If they could do that, I wouldn’t really need anything else.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: That’s the tough part...]

[In solo queue, getting five teammates who are normal <<< That’s so hard.]

[You can just jungle and improve the mental state of the other lanes.]

[강후민입니다: Just tell those idiots to screw off and carry the game.]

[We’re not in Bronze, we’re in the Master tier. Can you carry with one idiot on the team?]

[환희: Let’s just jungle this time.]

Hmm.

Considering how important this game was, it might be better for me to jungle.

Of course, top lane is fun, but right now, increasing my tier was the most important thing.

As I pondered this, suddenly—

Ding-!

The game popped up.

Just as I was considering changing my position.

“Tsk, guess I’ll just stick with top.”

I didn’t want to cancel the queue and wait too long to requeue.

With that in mind, I started the game—

“Hm?”

I was assigned to the support position.

I had definitely queued for top.

It must have been a position bug.

It didn’t happen often, but when it did, it wasn’t a huge surprise.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: You got support? Lol]

[You can still carry with support, though.]

[If all lanes do well, you can carry regardless.]

[Top lane doesn’t really let you carry unless you’re completely dominating.]

[환희: Let’s do something fun with support.]

[강후민입니다: I highly recommend Sako for support.]

[Let’s go with an off-pick.]

“What should I do...”

I could ask top lane to swap with me, but I didn’t like doing that.

It felt like I’d be admitting there was a bug.

I didn’t want to demoralize my teammates.

With those thoughts, I started looking at support champions.

‘I want to do something fun.’

Of course, I wanted to win, but I didn’t mind which champion my support played, as long as it wasn’t something terribly inefficient.

The way a champion is played matters more than raw stats.

After thinking for a moment—

“Let’s go with Zhao.”

I chose Zhao.

A champion that wields a spear to attack enemies.

He’s a champion that can be played in both top and support roles, so his potential was solid.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Now this is actually fun.]

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: You’re going support Zhao? Lol]

[Support Zhao is a bit dizzying though...]

[환희: If you use him well, he should be fine.]

Read lat𝙚st chapters at fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓ Only.

[He’s support, but Zhao could work, right? He has CC and everything.]

[강후민입니다: If he just jumps in and melts them, it’ll be fine.]

It was a well-thought-out pick.

If I used him to jump in and melt enemies, it could work out.

Then the ADC’s response was—

“Nice.”

It was Tristana.

A champion who specializes in bursting down enemies in one shot.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Ohh.]

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: He knows what he’s doing. Lol]

[Looks fun.]

[Zhao and Tristana, can’t resist.]

[강후민입니다: If we lose after this... hmm...]

[There’s no way we’ll lose. Lol.]

[Let’s win and then duo.]

With the viewers cheering me on, I started the game.

How much time passed?

“Argh.”

We were getting crushed.

Even though Zhao and Tristana are supposed to be good together, if the enemy hits us from range, there’s nothing we can do.

We were just getting beaten up.

I couldn’t even engage, and was barely getting farmed.

“Seriously, this is ridiculous. How are we supposed to lane against a poking comp with Zhao?”

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Doesn’t this mean we’re not supposed to lane?]

[They’ve picked a poking comp, so we’re not supposed to lane. Lol]

[This is so funny. Lol.]

[하린: Let’s win this game and do a duo.]

[하린: I want those twenty bucks.]

[강후민입니다: Why are we suffering because of support Zhao...]

[강후민입니다: Should’ve gone with Sako.]

[Sako would’ve already torn them apart. Lol.]

What could I do?

It was all in the past.

Rather than dwelling on what happened, it was better to focus on the present.

Like right now.

“I’ll use my ult here to push them away.”

Zhao’s ult has a knock-back effect, so I could use it to push the enemy closer to our team.

And after doing that, a few seconds later—

Tristana jumped forward and began to melt the ADC.

I was hitting from the side as well.

Cling!

How much time passed?

[Enemy slain!]

[Zhao -> Caitlyn]

“Wow, finally killed her.”

We finally killed the enemy ADC.

We used every trick we could think of.

It shouldn’t have taken this long.

I thought to myself, reflecting on how poorly we had handled lane phase as we started to turn the game around.

[Victory!]

The victory message popped up in front of me.

At the same time, my tier also upgraded.

From Master to Grandmaster.

“Phew...”

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: You sound like you aged ten years. Lol.]

[It was tough, but it’s worth it.]

[So, next time, let’s just do proper support.]

[It’s tough because we pick weird support champions.]

[강후민입니다: But hey, it had some romance.]

[Anyway, we got the romance and the win, so let's have a drink~]

[But seriously, we should have a drink for this.]

So, after reaching Grandmaster, I took a short break.

And then, suddenly—

“Alright, no time to rest. Let’s go duo right now.”

Harin barged into the Discord and shouted.

“Geez, you’re so impatient. Let’s take a little break first.”

“Forget that. Let’s get started quickly.”

Hmm.

She made a good point.

There are always viewers who say they’ll make a mission and then disappear, so getting started early was probably better.

“Ugh.”

My body was tired, but what could I do?

I had to complete the mission.

With that thought in mind, I accepted Harin’s invite.

But there was something different this time.

“What? When did your score get this high?”

Harin’s score had increased a lot.

It was almost embarrassing to compare it to before.

She wasn’t this good last time I saw her.

“Did you suddenly gain some enlightenment or something? That can’t be possible otherwise.”

“Well, I did gain some insight. I met a former pro and got some lessons.”

“Oh, that explains it.”

If she met a former pro, that made sense.

The perspective of an amateur and a pro is completely different.

She could’ve grown this much in such a short time.

“By the way, which pro was it? A famous one?”

I wasn’t too familiar with pro gamers, so I asked just out of courtesy.

I didn’t think it’d be someone I’d know.

“There’s a guy named Rize, don’t you know him? He’s really good, Leo Re is amazing.”

“Rize? Who’s that?”

I’d never heard of him in my life.

I thought about a soccer player famous for his fragile body before I came to this world, but it couldn’t be him.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Wait, you don’t know Rize?]

[He’s been in amazing form lately.]

[He’s even going to the World Cup this time.]

[강후민입니다: Rize is really good.]

[No one better than Rize.]

It seemed like everyone knew him in the chat.

I guess if you’ve been watching Leo Re for a while, you should know him.

I was a bit taken aback as I tried to process it—

“What? You really don’t know him? I’ll have to introduce you later.”

“Huh?”

Harin said something I didn’t expect.
