Chapter 32

**[Summary of NoName’s Arsteria攻略 Broadcast from Yesterday]**

The Arsteria攻略 broadcast (x)

If it had just been a ‘LoL’攻略 broadcast, I would have loved it, hahaha!

– Upvotes 240, but only 3 downvotes? What’s going on? hahaha!

– This guy was a toxic troll, but I forgot all about that after yesterday’s stream.

– His skills are inhuman levels, but the knowledge gained from 50,000 games is just insane.

– Seriously, what is Sarah doing?

**[NoName’s LoL Skill Tricks Compilation]**

1) Dodging Comets

Even though many diamond players might know this, surprisingly, a lot of people didn’t, so I included it. Comets hit a stationary target right in the center, but for moving targets, they follow a path adjusted to their direction. By taking advantage of this, you can dodge comets after moving forward and then backward to avoid the skill motion of the enemy. But what’s terrifying about NoName is that he calculates the cooldown of the comet rune’s skill and the total damage formula every time the enemy levels up.

There were many times during the lane phase where he survived with just 10 or 20 HP, and it seems that was all calculated.

2) Return to Lane with the Turtle at Level 6

Nowadays, more junglers are designing pre-emptive dives using the difference in ultimates when both players are in a perfectly even lane situation with the same experience (not applicable to those below diamond). If the lane is pushed and isn’t reset properly, minions will start pulling towards the ally fortress. If the ally jungler is on the opposite side, even if they secure the Rift Herald, they’ll take the same losses at the bottom.

However, NoName doesn’t push the lane to go home at level 5; instead, he hunts the big turtle and returns. The important part is that he leaves two small turtles and the medium turtle alive. And with the support who returns first clearing the medium turtle, NoName can head to the bottom lane after taking care of all four turtles along the way without wasting movements.

Then, when the enemy comes to dive, with just one melee minion (and if there’s ward experience, he can hit level 6 immediately), he can stop the dive. The 4-man dive you know is exactly that.

3) Using Arsteria for Poking

Since NoName hasn’t given away Arsteria strategies, there were many times I didn’t understand why he chose certain runes, so I’ll give my thoughts mixed in. NoName believes that increasing the possession rate of Arsteria is not everything. You can win objective team fights through poking at the maximum range of the enemy composition (including skill and normal attacks). At this time, NoName never chooses lethal tempo. If you take the critical speed rune, it increases your attack speed, which in turn raises the possession rate, so he prefers the grace rune or the conqueror.

4) Checking for NoSiah’s Jungle Gank

This is a trick I just learned too, but it seems some pros already know it. When you’re laning without wards, it might be jungle gank timing, and there are often situations where it can be a loss to back off (especially in top lane). At this time, NoName does something crazy; when a gank comes, he is in a position where he will definitely die, and he spams ‘going’ ping in a location where the jungler could be.

Then, the movement distance is displayed at the top bar; if there’s an enemy jungler on the route, this distance increases exactly by 2 meters. So it oscillates around plus or minus 1 until it suddenly jumps to 2, sensing the jungle gank timing and retreating. There are times when it seems to fail when he gets ganked, but there are also many times it seems successful?

– Yeah, it doesn’t mean anything in bronze-silver ~

– Fact) NoName got enlightenment after 50,000 games in bronze and reached master in just a week.

– Why is this happening? Hahaha

– NoName-style? I really want to lick it.

– I’ll sue you for this, thank you for the hard work, hahaha.

– Just their insight is different from ours, you know? When they explained why Orianna masters could excel with Arsteria, it was laughable.

– Dodging comets → I actually tried it, but besides Malphite’s Q skill, I failed almost all of them, hahaha!

**[Encountered the Complete Boot Camp Opponent Team]**

– I played free ranked yesterday, and what is this?

(Screenshot of the results)

– The post from yesterday is going to the same match today, hahaha!

– How did it get buried?

– The cut from the match is too intense;;

– I’m so jealous of the one who got matched with the same team.

**[HyeBam: Hey, Namé, are you streaming again?]**

While Namé was organizing the stream, she confirmed a secret chat message from Siah had arrived.

[NoName: No, I just finished.]

[HyeBam: Then today we were going to play some ranked in celebration of Myunjoon and Imyr’s return, want to join?]

Myunjoon and Imyr were also clan members. Unlike Siah, who frequently dropped by the clan room and became familiar, these two were known for their obsession with games and while Namé knew them for a long time, they weren’t close.

[HyeBam: Let’s play together, Namé~~ It was my dream to play with our clan members!]

Namé thought about ignoring Siah’s request, but the earnest plea made her heart waver a little.

[NoName: When are you playing?]

[HyeBam: Now!]

[NoName: Now?]

[HyeBam: Yep! Right now! Everyone’s gathered in the waiting room!]

[NoName: Got it, invite me!]

A familiar summoning circle appeared beneath her feet.

The strange sensation of having her entire body pulled in felt like her vision dimmed as everything faded away.

“Yay! I knew Namé would come!”

Inside the Dome House, three clan members were huddled together. One was Myunjoon, with a large Viking avatar, and the other, Imyr, exuded a noble look.

Before Namé’s digital form was fully realized, Siah leaped at Namé.

“What? You two got so close?”

Myunjoon bluntly asked. He was bothered by Siah’s unusual behavior.

“I don’t know because I’ve been on a period of reflection, but we’ve even collaborated before, right?”

“What? Collaborated?”

“Right, Namé?”

“Yeah.”

Siah’s bragging made Myunjoon’s expression twist with intensity.

He then stomped over to Namé and pinched her cheek hard.

“Honestly, say it, you’re not a girl, right? Since we’re not around, it’s very suspicious how you’re being all friendly with Siah.”

“Let go.”

“Hey, Myunjoon! What are you doing!”

As Siah intervened, only then did Myunjoon step back, raising his arms.

“No, even Imyr, say something! It’s honestly suspicious what kind of feelings she might have for Siah, without knowing her identity!”

“When did we ever face each other to form the clan? It’s Siah’s feelings; you’re the one reacting overly.”

“Ugh, I’m so frustrated.”

Meanwhile, Imyr had been indifferent about NoName coming from the beginning.

When he first opened his mouth, his eyes widened slightly, but that was all.

He couldn’t understand why Myunjoon was making a fuss.

“They’re both so lost in their heads; have they already forgotten the incident where a streamer was almost attacked by a stalker recently?”

Eventually, Myunjoon decided to take charge. He was determined to thoroughly expose NoName.

While the game queue was running, Myunjoon quietly made a suggestion to Siah.

“At least if you can prove NoName is a girl, I won’t pry anymore about their identity. But if it turns out he lied about his gender, a sufficient explanation will be needed. If you want to remain in the clan.”

“What, are we playing mini-games or something? Sounds good! How are we going to set it up?”

“Let’s take turns asking one question each.”

“But if Namé is a girl, then you have to delete that uncle-like avatar and change it to whatever I say!”

A purely macho avatar that Siah had disliked from the start. She planned to make him into a little princess who gets angry just by seeing him.

“Delete? I’m not scared at all. You can expect a Mohican biker from me.”

“Then can I start? Namé! What’s your favorite food?”

Siah confidently asked.

“You don’t have to think too much about it. Just say it as you usually do.”

Due to the sudden question, Namé seemed quite taken aback. As Siah added more descriptions, it made her think unnecessarily harder.

“Hashis Parmentier or Cordon Bleu?”

“What…?”

“Isn’t this just a fancy pork cutlet? Oooh, this is tricky…?”

While Siah was flustered, Myunjoon quickly searched for the food online.

Hashis Parmentier, a dish of minced meat and mashed potatoes, was one thing, but Cordon Bleu very much looked like a cheese pork cutlet.

Isn’t pork cutlet a food that guys particularly love?

Myunjoon already envisioned his victory.

“Hey, who’s your favorite celebrity?”

“A celebrity? I’m not sure.”

“Then just a famous person. Don’t you have hobbies or anything?”

Could it be that he truly only ate and played LoL?

If it’s NoName, it’s a story that seems quite possible.

However, Namé was able to give a valid answer after enough thought.

“Johannes Brahms.”

“Who’s that?”

“Oh, a pianist! Right? Listening to classical music is a common hobby for high school girls!”

“What nonsensical things are you saying, Yushia! Hey, NoName, are you purposely answering strangely? Just name three Brahms songs.”

“Hungarian Dance No. 5 in G minor, Alto Rhapsody, Song of Destiny.”

“Damn, what? But does Brahms count? Has classical music ever discriminated between genders? This alone isn’t enough.”

Despite Myunjoon’s obstinance, Siah moved on to the next question without concern.

“Namé, have you ever worn a school uniform? Where do the buttons go? Left or right?”

“I think it was probably on the left.”

“What does button placement have to do with gender?”

“This confirms it, doesn’t it? Most school uniforms have different button positions for boys and girls, you know? Boys on the right, girls on the left.”

“Isn’t that forced?”

“Nope. If they were unified, they’d all be on the right; the left buttons are only on girls’ uniforms.”

“Are you testing me?”

Namé shot a piercing glare.

Siah promptly hugged her tightly to calm her down.

“I keep hearing Myunjoon calling you a guy! Now, can you trust me?”

“Guys, stop fighting. We can’t get ranked games with just the four of us. Let’s invite one more to make a five-man queue.”

As the voices grew louder, Imyr tried to intervene late, but in the end, only Namé agreed to his request.

While Siah and Myunjoon barked like dogs and cats, Namé checked her friends list.

[Not angry, working hard – Lobby]

“I’ll invite them.”

“Oh, NoName, thank you for that.”

In the meantime, Myunjoon still couldn’t accept his defeat.

“Did you two plan this?”

“That’s just dented, Myunjoon! There were over 200 more questions I could’ve asked! Should I ask another? Namé, what’s your underwear size?”

Now, Siah was casually asking a question full of ulterior motives.

If she were a girl, she wouldn’t simply respond with B cup or C cup. The answer Siah wanted was more specific, like 75C or 80B, considering the underbust measurement.

But Namé’s answer that came next was something nobody could have predicted.

* * *

“This doesn’t make sense! Others haven’t even started yet, and we’re already a month in!”

“I know, but we just finished our clinical practice last week, so we’re breathing a little easier.”

“You wouldn’t understand the normal pace. No, don’t even try!”

“Stop whining.”

“In that sense, PC room? Or have you even been to a PC room?”

“What are you talking about? I play games often.”

“What do you play?”

“LoL.”

“What’s your tier?”

“Gold. But now I’m silver.”

“Hey, you actually have a human side! But it’s infuriating that a Gold player seems more like an insider. When you think about it, a normal person wouldn’t stay below Diamond.”

In the first place, being good at LoL required a certain neurotic trait.

At least, Junho thought so.

“Let’s go to a PC room. I have a lot of time today.”

“Really? I’m so touched! I want to see Cheon Semin playing games.”

“If you keep that up, I might lose the will to go.”

Since last summer break, Semin had gone into the capsule so few times it was remarkable.

It wasn’t just that he had been busy; he had lost the reason to enter.

[Thanks for saving me, everyone. I’m doing well now.]

A meaningful message from NoName.

Since then, NoName hasn’t logged into the virtual reality, and Semin had tried to find him several times, but all efforts returned fruitless.

Was he trying to play with them? Even in the hospital, the name ‘NoName’ was blankly left, and no one knew where he had gone or what had happened.

Detective Ma Beom-il kept avoiding any mention, so he couldn’t even plead for answers.

What exactly did he save himself from, and how was he doing well? Not getting a single call or message from NoName was making him feel resentful.

“They say from this year onward, we can duo in ranked with no normal games first. Are you jumping into ranked directly?”

“Wait, I haven’t played in so long that I don’t know any of the patch notes.”

“I don’t know either. We’ll adapt as we play. What?! Why is my account suspended?”

“Probably because you were reported by Net-kama for sexual harassment.”

“Seriously? That’s ridiculous! Where are the girls even in Diamond 1 to be so common… No, damn it, it’s going to take ages to make a new account. You go ahead and play a match first.”

“Uh…?”

In that instant, Semin couldn’t help but close his mouth upon witnessing the unbelievable message in the client window.

[You have been invited by NoName – Valhalla Battlefield · Free · 5 vs 5]

[Accept/Decline]

Automatically, Semin’s gaze moved toward the accept button.

[Not angry, working hard has accepted the invitation.]

The long-sought NoName.

After an 8-month wait, the little one was standing in the waiting room corner of the Dome House, leaning against the wall.

“I don’t wear a bra.”

With that incomprehensible remark.
