Chapter Title: 900-Pointer and the Leftovers Form!

Just like that, I ended up joining Glow's team.
And after the auctions wrapped up for the other lanes...
『Ugh... To be on the same team as Lulu... Thank you, Glow! I'll serve you as big bro for life!』
『I never imagined I'd end up with Lulu. Is this what they call fate?』
『Man, our lineup looks solid. As a diligent grinder, I'll push forward with everything I've got.』
『Am I really allowed to be here? Our members are way too good...』
Top: Bandit.
Jungle: Jung Jin-man.
Mid: Me.
ADC: Kombbang.
Support: Nyangta unni.
Hehe, just like my Cherries said, the lineup really does look solid.
At first, they were teasing since most were unsold picks, calling it "Lulu-chan and the rejects."
But that worry seems unfounded. At least from what I see, it's a pretty sturdy roster.
『Alright, since we've got scrims tomorrow, as coach I wanna quickly sort some basics before we wrap. Could everyone share their comfort picks?』
『Yes sir! I'm confident in Shen, Fiora, and Jake!』
『Wait, those are your comfort picks? Bandit? I saw you on Mityube the other day—Fiora into a brick wall, 0/12/0.』
『Aw, that day I was just off. I'm a top-lane highway maker in solo queue, you know.』
Meanwhile, Nyangta unni actually knows Bandit a bit, so the second he mentioned his most-playeds, she jumped in with a roast, sparking some fun banter.
The rest of the team and the chat exploded into laughter at the sight.
Bandit's mains are definitely tricky champs, no doubt.
Shen isn't super mechanically hard, but its unique kit is so distinct there's even a saying: "Shen players aren't playing League—they're playing Shen."
Don't even get me started on Jake or Fiora.
Top-tier difficulty in top lane. They're sharp champs—fragile bodies, tough to make impact if you fall behind.
『Still, with Lulu on mid, I'll tank up! Starting tomorrow, I'll practice Sion or Ornn!』
『That's the spirit.』
But he wasn't dead set on that mindset even in team games.
Bandit quickly added he'd grind other chars too.
The reason being me made my stomach twist a bit weirdly... but yeah, good outcome anyway.
『I've been spamming Elise and Rengar lately—carnivore junglers.』
『Nice champ pool. You stick to higher-tier stuff?』
『Haha, yeah. Best way to climb.』
Jung Jin-man's picks were solid carnivore junglers too.
Among the most popular in solo queue right now.
Glow's voice brightened up instantly upon hearing it—he'd been all "what do we do?" during Bandit's turn.
『Next up, Lulu?』
"Y-Yes...! Um, I mainly play mages like Orianna and Syndra."
『Mages, huh? Unique choice. And Jeong-ho told me you're a beast in lane?』
"Eh? Jeong-ho... You mean the Empire player?"
『Yeah, he said if you give Lulu a strong laner matchup, she'll solo-explode mid and jungle for you.』
"Eeeek?!"
Nooo! As expected from the legend!
But Empire pros, what did you tell Glow?!
You're building up crazy hype!
I'm just your average mage main!
『Whoa, Lulu. How cracked do you have to be to get props from an Empire pro?』
"N-No! He's just nice and said it to be kind...!"
『Nah, I know Jeong-ho well. He doesn't sugarcoat. Means you're legit good.』
"Uuu..."
You guys be quiet!
Don't hype weird expectations!
I'm just gonna lane mages comfy and ride the bus!
O-Of course, I'll try hard as a teammate...!
『If Lulu smashes mid lane for us, games'll be a breeze. Looking forward to it!』
『Yesss! Then I'll Senna/Aphelios and just heal Lulu nonstop!』
"D-Don't expect too much...! And you gotta deal damage too, Kombbang...!"
Starting with Glow's words, the mood turned to piling hype on me.
Jung Jin-man and Kombbang joined in, pouring fuel on the fire.
That sparked banter between me and the team, easing the awkwardness from before.
A bit sad the icebreaker was all about me, but sniff.
『Anyway, what about our team name? Anyone got ideas?』
『Nada here... Nyangta, any thoughts?』
『Why ask me? I'm trash at this stuff.』
『Figured the ladies might have better sense... Lulu? Kombbang?』
『Gasp! Jin-man's sexist! Uuu!』
『Th-That wasn't what I meant...?!』
"M-Me neither..."
Before wrapping the meeting, we tried settling on a team name.
But no killer ideas popped up.
So we brainstormed...
『How about 900-Pointer and the Leftovers? Most of us are unsolds, and Lulu was 900 points.』
『Ooh, nice. Avengers vibe.』
『What about you, Jin-man?』
『Psh, that's just flavor.』
『I'm good. Actually dig it.』
"I think it's cute too."
A-Ah, no, I didn't pick the team though...
Not that I think it's a bad one, of course.
And so, our team name became '900-Pointer and the Leftovers'.
Perfect fit—limited to 7 Korean chars, matches exactly.
Suits our identity too.
『Cool. Team name set, so Discord for today. Tomorrow pre-scrim, we'll do light ban-pick meeting and strat talk. Good work everyone.』
『Good work!』
"Good work!"
With the team name locked in, our first team meeting finally wrapped.
I chatted a bit with the Cherries, then ended stream.
Gotta grind some extra solo queue post-stream to warm up for tomorrow's scrims.
Eee, nerves...
I'll do well tomorrow, right?
