Overfarming Disaster
I'm deep in thought right now.
'How the hell do I climb out of this tier?'
Physical skill or brainpower? Sure, those matter. But to escape the Simhae abyss, I needed some game-changing strategy. And recently, I'd actually seen someone pulling it off in real time.
That's it. That Bronze 3 top laner I'd run into last time. Instead of meekly farming lane like everyone else, he dove between the enemy towers and snatched every minion. Thanks to that, TrueTopLaneGod carried the game by the throat with his overwhelming growth.
'Now I get the principle.'
Eat all the minions. Gold rolls in. Items come online fast. Obviously.
"Heh heh heh…."
What to do? I feel like I've cracked the code on Asgard completely.
"Everyone, I just had a massive revelation."
"This isn't trolling, okay? Watch. I'll carry this game."
The viewers, predictably, weren't buying it. But these assholes would deny anything right off the bat, even if it was spot on. Tell 'em the sun rises in the east, and they'd grit their teeth and drop a novel-length rebuttal claiming it's the west.
'Can't just ban them all.'
Annoying as they were, seems like roasting me was half the reason they showed up. Ban too many, and most would bail.
Match found.
Match locked in the meantime.
I picked my main, Nike. As soon as loading ended, I bought just a practice bow from spawn and bolted.
I ignored the support and charged bot lane. Except... not our side.
"Everyone, today we're sneaking through this side path and hiding in the bush."
I moved like an assassin, stealthy as hell.
Destination: between the enemy's first and second towers.
"Lemme show you what overfarming really is."
Once there, I hid in the bush and stared at chat. Hooks everywhere.
"Y'all don't seem to get it, so lemme explain again. Watch close. If I eat all these minions coming through here, the enemy ADC's stuck chowing on tower leavings, right? They'll miss a ton. Boom, I pull ahead in levels naturally."
Super polite explanation. But the viewers weren't high-level enough to grasp it, apparently.
Right then, minions arrived.
"Here they come, my precious minions!"
I popped out from the bush at the perfect timing, like a feral wolf pouncing on a flock of sheep.
My arrows shredded a melee minion in seconds. Full XP and gold, 100%. My call was spot on.
But as I went for the next, I noticed my health was over half gone.
"...Wh-what?"
The minions fought back. Melee ones hacking with axes, ranged swinging wands—Nike got pummeled. Health dropped to a third in a flash. Stunned by the counterattack, I gaped and muttered.
"D-don't fuck with me…."
Were they always this strong? No, wait—dying to minions?
"Sh-shut the fuck up… Health's fine, just potion up and tank it!"
I chugged a pot in a panic. Still, eating this whole wave puts me ahead. Normally I'd snag like two per wave max, so even with pot cost, it's profit.
But shit didn't stop there. As I farmed between towers, the enemy bot duo came sprinting over.
"Why the fuck are you chasing!? Dropping those minions hurts you guys!"
"Ah."
Right. Dying to minions or tower doesn't give gold to enemies. I bolted for the tower but…
First Blood!
Enemy support's CC landed first.
"You fucking BITCH!!!!!!"
First death at 2 minutes in.
"You fucking demons…."
This stream was a den of evil spirits reveling in my misery.
The support saw my fuckup and ran his mouth. I fired right back.

After ending stream, I ordered chicken with the gifticon from Simhae Cheongsobu.
Ding dong!
"Chicken!"
Pondering how to devour it properly when delivery arrived.
I dashed to the door, grabbed the chicken from the driver, rushed back to my rig, and set it down. The savory aroma hit, and my mouth watered instantly.
"It's been forever…!"
If memory serves, three months. Couldn't eat it 'cause no cash, obviously. But gifticon? No reason not to chow down.
Before digging in, I pulled out my phone. Opened the box, snapped a pic of the goods.
Click.
"Nice, looks appetizing."
Sent the pic to Simhae Cheongsobu via messenger. Gotta certify when you get a gift, right?
A.
"You pay for this."
True that. First chicken in ages—no half-assing it. I'd deploy max bone-picking skills and feast.
Grabbed a drumstick, crunched the crispy bits first.
"Hauuugh."
Insane.
So fucking good…!
Too delicious; no clue what noises were coming out.
Crunch, munch.
Munching chicken, I fired up Nutube. To recover from that overfarming fiasco, had to study real pro plays. Searched Asgard ADC.
Click.
Screen switched, videos popped up. Nothing jumped out. Switched to sort by views.
"Oho."
Views-first, and now solid ones appeared. Editing quality alone blew the scrubs away; aggro was next level.
"Damn, wish I had an editor like that."
When to hire one? Thought that while clicking the top vid. Most views ever.

Probably Yuri0921 or something.
