Selene 2 weeks ago: 42 ranked games, this week: 145 games

(Loose record)

Scary 2 weeks ago: 50 ranked games, this week: 121 games

(Record)

Skeleton 2 weeks ago: 57 ranked games, this week: 99 games

Most pros that you check have significantly increased their ranked game counts recently.

Why are the pros suddenly grinding solo rank like racehorses injected with stimulants?

The secret is…

Great Seol

This is a screenshot taken during the broadcast of Great Seol yesterday at 5:30 PM.

The genuine Tier 150 Heaven Queue, which usually struggles to form a single game, had three games running simultaneously.

I think Great Seol, being female, is adding tension to the otherwise relaxed solo rank scene.

Soon, rankings will be rearranged, but I don’t know why everyone is working so hard since Great Seol will be first anyway.

─[I worship the GOAT]

└[Anyone looking would think 1st place is already decided]

└[Yeah, she’ll soon secure it]

└[Chilling fact: Great Seol currently ranked 70th still maintains an 80% win rate]

─[If you’re Challenger, you’re all Challenger. Stop acting like the ‘real Heaven Tier’]

└[Is this guy ranked 151?]

└[No way, 151? haha]

─[Wow, did 30 out of 150 people play at that time? Great Seol is incredible]

└[At Challenger level, everyone basically lives for the game, playing all day]

└[Even if they play all day, do they earn more money than her?]

└[Why the sudden outrage?]

─[Great Seol]

─[It’s just that Spring is coming, so they’re practicing more. Don’t make it about Great Seol]

└[Solo queue isn’t practice for anything]

└[Would pros do it if solo queue weren’t useful for practice at all?]

─[What thoughts come to mind when ranked by a woman? haha]

└[Even regular women beat you]

└[I don’t play Teama!]

└[Ah, there you are disturbing the game again]

└[Why are you in the Teama gallery if you don’t play Teama?]

└[If you don’t play, you technically don’t lose to Victory. Gameless, invincible haha]

└[Are you serious?]

─[Is it because Great Seol is a woman that they don’t want to lose? Are pros all sexist?]

└[Either misogyny or worship, it’s a catch-22 haha]

└[Why would anyone willingly follow the queue?]

└[Rankers grind together to avoid low-level queues]

└[Are you calling me a sniper even though I didn’t write a single word about it?]

└[If it’s not sniping, then what is following called, idiot?]

─[Here we go again, these guys projecting their egos onto pros…They’re just Bronze Silver Gold players in reality]

└[Remove ‘Platinum’, dude. Is Bronze Silver Gold the same as Platinum?]

└[Yes, Platinum]

└[500 won check for fake Platinum posing as Silver DA]

└[I’m Bronze, give me 500 won]

At first glance, this post seems like nonsense, but it actually hits the nail on the head.

Rankers are all gamers obsessed with the game, embodiments of living competitive spirit.

It’s a clear fact that everyone except #1 Victory has someone above them in ranking.

But having a ‘woman’ above them in ranking is different.

There’s something that drives rankers and pros crazy.

Even those who haven’t been surpassed yet feel it.

The tension of possibly being outranked by a woman!

It’s like adding a spoon of tension to an otherwise lax solo queue scene, or maybe sinking an entire oil tanker.

Suddenly, a storm has hit the Heaven Tier.

—

─[Still, it’s nice to have a lot to watch during off-season, time flies just watching matches]

For viewers not caught in the storm, it’s all pure entertainment.

Everyday Great Seol’s reputation grows, and her broadcasts gain automatic fame.

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Why does Great Seol keep inching up the rankings so annoyingly slow?]

[Let’s just take 1st place decisively like a man!]

─[She’s a woman, what’s a man about, haha]

└[There are fabricated records to discredit women]

└[Just blocking female players]

─[Chronic ‘Cowardice’]

└[What’s Cowardice? Coward?]

└[Weakness’ Coward you]

└[Coward and Weakness refer to the same thing]

└[Bastard]

─[Do you know that our gallery owner collapsed after being King of Challenger Tier? Let’s protect our gallery!]

└[Who made this person our gallery owner?]

└[Seems like they really have a weak body]

└[That’s what makes it funnier]

└[Yeah, that’s enough]

“Today the gallery is peaceful as ever.”

Among pros and broadcasters, there’s an unwritten rule:

Never look at community sites.

The internet is full of toxic devils.

Since there’s only bad content, it’s best to avoid it altogether.

However, humans are genetically unable to resist Ego-Search – searching for your nickname online.

You get so curious about what’s being said that you might explode!

Great Seol is no exception.

Occasionally, inflammatory – no, explosive – posts grab attention.

But as long as it’s just words on a screen with no real threat, there’s no reason to be afraid.

What’s truly scary is…

“Going out into the world really is terrifying.”

Infinity Games keeps insisting on meeting in person.

Whatever they’re preparing, they’re not forcing face reveals, right?

Why do they insist that contracts must be done in person?

It’s not strange that people are suspicious of someone who never shows their face…

But still…

“Why am I so pretty?”

She spends more time looking at her own face in camera mode than doing Ego Searches.

Seeing a pretty face is always a mood booster.

Reason for growing hair?

Because longer is prettier.

Not that she chose to be a woman, and it’s been nothing but trouble since,

But humans instinctively choose the prettier option.

“This beauty should be mine alone.”

Joke.

The reason for not showing her face is obviously to avoid stalking crimes and romance drama entanglements.

There were times, when trauma was fresh, she seriously considered disfiguring plastic surgery.

Fortunately, she regained sanity in time, realizing destroying her face due to rare lunatics was foolish,

Thus preserving her beautiful face.

“Holy shit, so pretty.”

Not princess syndrome, not psycho.

A face that made someone nearly shoot her, a face that made her a witness to a shooting.

Even obscene cursing can’t tarnish her beauty.

Instead, it enhances it.

This is her reward.

Even when ranting alone, she looks like a work of art.

If given the choice, would she go back in time to keep this face or have a plain one?

Answer: Drop out of school and live as a hikikomori with this face.

Huh? Same conclusion as now.

…A face so mesmerizing it enchants even its owner.

There are surprisingly many sweet jobs in the world that you don’t see in the average person’s eye because these positions don’t need public job postings.

They just slot in someone nearby who fits the basic qualifications. No need for a formal hiring process.

Which makes it all the more lucky that Jung Min-hee found such a plum job.

Without Seol Ah and her father’s special circumstances, this kind of ultimate sweet job would never have had a public job ad.

Very little work, lots of pay.

Some might call it wasting a life, but when living day-to-day is hard as it is, how can you plan for the distant future?

The era when doing nothing at home earns you 500 thousand won.

Does that sound like crap when the job is easy, comfortable, pays well, and even gives you a manager’s business card?

It might have an unclear future…

…You think being given a manager’s business card is weird?

Jung Min-hee thought it was strange too.

Why does the mysterious streamer Great Seol need to hide their identity to the point of having a front manager?

Naturally, curiosity arises.

Curiosity that the contract forbids.

Yeah, it’s suspicious.

But doesn’t it pay well? Isn’t the work easy? Three games set.

‘Today ends all curiosity.’

For some reason, the boss is meeting in person.

Of course, the real boss – Chairman, an uncle in his 50s named Jeon Dae-in –

But since the main identity of this organization is streamer Great Seol, calling her the boss works, right?

Jung Min-hee arrived at the reserved restaurant and was guided with the name “Jeon Seol Ah.”

Seemed like she was the first to arrive, the private room empty.

Sitting and waiting briefly, the next customer arrived with staff guidance.

“Holy shit!”

Talking to oneself can be strange, making sounds alone can be strange.

But it couldn’t be helped.

The person who entered was extraordinarily beautiful and unique.

Really strangely pretty in an unusual way.

Towering height, a chest that seems almost abusive to clothing in contrast to the height.

Ash-colored hair, quite unusual for human head color, topped with violet highlights.

And the beauty beneath cannot be adequately described with words.

The attire is beautiful, but it’s the kind of beauty that makes the outfit seem overshadowed.

“Hello.”

“Whoooa!”

Hearing her voice, Jung Min-hee couldn’t but let out a second exclamation.

I think I’m about to become a fan.
