ImOS – Chapter 92: I Shall Play Jungler for You to See
Sponsored Content
After so many days of training, JAY’s overall skill had improved greatly, but Ouyang Xue was still rather worried .
The skill level of JAY’s top, mid, jungle were still their weakness . Even though they improved greatly during this period of time, there was still a large gap between them and IM(I May) .
“For the match against IM, do you have any strategies?” Ouyang Xue rubbed her temples and asked directly .
With such a short period of time, she didn’t have any method to pull JAY’s standard to be comparable with IM .
According to the current training and players’ talents, they would need at least one month .
Ouyang Xue didn’t have a choice and had to call for Xiao Ran to discuss a strategy .
Xiao Ran was feeling pleased but agitated: You are rather incredible uh? Didn’t you use me as a sparring partner for Taekwondo everyday?! In the end, you still have to look to me for help! But since this is the case, I need to put on a show before helping out at the end . If I simply accept it so quickly, I will not be able to exhibit my importance .
“This… is a little difficult . ” Xiao Ran started to put on a performance .
His frown looked just like a huge lump was squeezed out .
Anyone who saw his face would know that he was especially troubled .
“Sigh, that is true . All your strategies must be done under the condition of an early-game advantage . Furthermore, after using it once, the opponents will be precautious of it . Also, a successful and peculiar strategy isn’t that easy to research . ”
Xiao Ran sighed and said, “Actually, in this season, the Junglers and Top-laners are very important…”
Ouyang Xue rolled her eyes and said, “Which season are the Junglers and Top-laners not important? Our China has always been lacking good top, mid, and jungle players . ”
“That’s right . ” Xiao Ran nodded and said, “Support and ADC players are plenty in our country . After receiving the Protect the ADC influence from RNG(Royal Never Give Up), it has been flourishing, especially for ADCs . ”
“It has also resulted in the lack of value in top, mid, and jungle players in the country . It has even caused some of the teams that had great Top-laners and Junglers to disband . ”

“My condolences…”
Ouyang Xue had also sighed and said, “Our JAY’s top, mid, and jungle players are also extremely weak . When playing against IM, it will be up to your bot-lane . Why don’t we also set our tactics as ‘Protect the ADC’?”
“If I play as Jungler, there might be a trace of hope…”
Ouyang Xue sized up Xiao Ran and asked, “You as a Jungler? Can you do it?”
Xiao Ran wasn’t happy . “What do you mean by ‘can I do it?’ . At least remove the question mark, okay?”
“I have watched your streams . The Jungler champions that you use are very unconventional . It might have great results in public games, but during professional matches, keke…”
Ouyang Xue’s ‘keke’ had severely triggered Xiao Ran’s prideful ego .
Putting aside men’s innately ‘cheap’ nature, Xiao Ran stopped his acting and only wanted to show his skills right now!
“Come, let this big brother show you what is the world’s no . 1 Jungler!”
After declaring, Xiao Ran sat down in front of Ouyang Xue’s computer and logged into his account before starting the queue .
Ouyang Xue was astonished as she looked at Xiao Ran . “You aren’t joking, you can really play Jungler? What I mean is can you really play Jungler in professional matches?”
Her tone was filled with suspicion .
Xiao Ran had a confident expression as he said, “Who am I? God Kun, don’t you know, God Kun!! China’s ranked no . 1 on the Challenger tier!”
“Che!” Ouyang Xue looked at Xiao Ran and sounded as though she was provoking him, “Who doesn’t know how to brag? Come on then, if you are really capable, show this big sister some moves?”

“Just you wait, don’t be anxious . ”
Xiao Ran picked the primary role as Jungler and the secondary role as a Mid-laner before clicking on ‘Start’ .
This time, the queue was done quickly . The players were all found within a minute .
Ouyang Xue touched her chin and when she saw the teammate that Xiao Ran was queued up with, she laughed heartily and said, “You are rather lucky this time to actually find a leg to hug . ”
(TL note: Find a leg to hug is to describe there is a very good player for you to rely on to carry the game)
Leg to hug?
When Xiao Ran saw his teammate’s ID, he shook his head and said in an upright manner to correct Ouyang Xue . “I don’t need to hug a leg . ”
He then clenched his fist and said confidently, “I am the leg . ”
Ouyang Xue gave a ‘wow’ and clicked her tongue . “You sound rather confident . Alright, let’s see what kind of performance you can offer in this match . ”
Ouyang Xue might have said it like that, but her tone was obviously filled with disbelief .
Xiao Ran’s solo queue teammate was actually We1less(GodV) .
That’s right, it was We1less who was known for his declaration to kill Faker and also his renowned reverse Q with Varus…
Since S5, We1less had been known as ‘Esports’ Magellan’ .
(TL note: Since GodV used the reverse Q became so famous that he was known for it throughout the world, they gave him this nickname as Megallan did the first circumnavigation of Earth)
He was once famous .
Esports’ Magellan, the first person to revolve around Earth with his reverse Q!

Gao Dewei pulled his bow and loaded the arrow . He had already aimed at this target and his enemy was retreating .
(TL note: Gao Dewei is We1less’s real name and also why his is called GodV)
Just as everyone was convinced with We1less’s skills, he turned around and shot his arrow in a reverse direction and shocked the audience .
As a result, the enemies invaded the base and defeated LGD .
Someone once asked We1less: “The public thinks that your behavior seems strange, why did you do such a thing?”
We1less replied: “I shot my arrow in the opposite direction because I wish to deter my enemy . The Earth is round and the enemy surely believes that my arrow can go around the world to shoot him in the back . If the enemy is afraid, they will surely escape due to my arrow . Doing so will allow my team to tear down their formation!”
(TL note: This is just come talk of nonsense)
When Xiao Ran was streaming the match against We1less, he had been mocking We1less while using his skill to trample on We1less to ascend onto the altar .
Xiao Ran had a very special feeling towards We1less because of it .
…
“Sign, I have done detailed research on China’s Mid-laners . We1less is actually considered a top-notch Mid-laner in the country but it is a pity that he was ruined by S5 . ”
“Oh?” Xiao Ran was rather surprised . “Is We1less that good?”
Ouyang Xue nodded and said, “We1less became famous because of his playstyle that goes against the game patch version . Be it his Diana or Ahri gave off a very different feeling during S4’s minion wave clearing meta . ”
“Furthermore, S4 was the season when Jungler items were enhanced . We1less actually invented the meta to purchase Spirit of the Spectral Wraith as a Mid-laner . ”
“Soon enough, it received the likes and imitation from countless Mid-laners in LPL . ”
“The match with the deepest impression was his Oriana with Spirit of the Spectral Wraith . At the 20 minute mark, he already had 250 CS and back then, it was truly a shocking feat . ”
Xiao Ran nodded . “The We1less back then seems to be rather skillful . ”
“S5 is the year when We1less ascended and also the year when he fell the quickest . ”
“Back then, when Korean’s top-notch Mid-laner had just arrived in LPL, LGD’s mid-lane didn’t become a weak spot, instead, it became the team’s crucial carry . ”
(TL note: PawN joined EDG)
“Furthermore, LGD had exceeded all expectations and barged into the finals of spring split . They had even forced the league’s tyrant, EDG to desperate straits . ”
“During those matches, We1less’s deep selike champion pool wasn’t inferior to PawN at all . He had obtained the highest reputation in Esports and instantly became the player that received the most attention in China . ”
“It is a pity that he didn’t perform as ideally during the S5 World Championship . His reverse Q had made it worse and caused him to receive criticism from the world . ”
Xiao Ran shook his head and said, “Actually the haters on the internet cannot be blamed, as I am also one of those people . China has always been ‘honored’ to be ‘invincible within the country’, but once it is involved with a world event, we should start to weaken . ”
(TL note: Please don’t be offended by such comments about country as this is just a web novel)
“Why is that? Why would we always weaken during world events? It doesn’t matter if it is overconfidence, a mental problem, or some other reason . At the end, it is the problem with the athletes . ”
Ouyang Xue’s expressions were rather gloomy . “You are right . It is actually the problem with the athletes . However, among all the domestic Mid-laners, Top-laners, and Junglers, there are only a few rare elites that can reach the world-class standard . After S5, we lost yet another world-class Mid-laner . ”
Xiao Ran laughed and said, “To be honest, We1less has to rely on himself for this situation . If he can resist the pressure and regain his prime, I believe he will become better . When he returns to the LPL with his dominant performance, it would be on the world stage . ”
“Mm . ” Ouyang Xue covered her mouth and laughed . “I hope that the We1less by then will not just be the laning player who lacks team fighting skills in my eyes . ”
Subsequently, Ouyang Xue pointed at the screen and said, “Alright, the ban phase is already over . It is your turn to pick . Who are you going to use as a Jungler?”
Xiao Ran laughed mischievously and said, “I am naturally going to continue using odd champions . Don’t think that only We1less can go against the patch version and gain his reputation . As a Jungler, don’t even talk about going against the patch version, I am simply going to use oddness to become famous!!”
