📰 Breaking News [Author: Anonymous] [Title: The Reason Pros Are Grinding Solo Queue So Hard Lately... Fact] [Screenshot from match history search site] Selen: 42 ranked games 2 weeks ago, 145 this week (Match history) Scary: 50 ranked games 2 weeks ago, 121 this week (Match history) Skull: 57 ranked games 2 weeks ago, 99 this week If you search around, you can see most pros have massively increased their ranked game count lately. Why are the pros suddenly going full throttle on solo queue like stallions shot up with stimulants? The secret is... [Screenshot of Virtual Jellyfish model] Great Jeon Jeonseol [Screenshot of spectator board from match history search site] This is a screenshot from Jeon Jeonseol's stream yesterday at 5:30 PM. You can see three in-150 true heavenly tier queues spinning at once, when usually one barely pops. I think Jeon Jeonseol, being a woman, is injecting some tension into the lax solo queue scene. They're all gonna get sorted by rank soon anyway, why grind so hard? Jeon Jeonseol's taking first anyway. 💬 Comments — WorshipTheGOAT I worship her, GOAT. — Anonymous ↳ Reply Anyone would think she's already #1. ↳ Reply She will soon. ↳ Reply Scary fact: Jeon Jeonseol is maintaining an 80% win rate even at rank 70 right now. — ChallengerOrBust Challenger is Challenger, what's this in-150 true heaven bullshit? — Anonymous Are you #151? — Anonymous Lol no way #151. ⭐ Top Comment — QueueWatcher 30 out of 150 people queuing at that exact time? Jeon Jeonseol's influence is insane. — Anonymous At Challenger level, they're all game addicts playing 24/7 anyway, so not that impressive... — Anonymous So she's earning more than those 24/7 grinders? — Anonymous Why'd you hit the rage button all of a sudden? — GreatJeonseol Great Jeonseol. — CasualPlayer It's just spring season approaching, so they're upping practice volume. Stop blaming Jeon Jeonseol. — Anonymous Solo queue isn't practice at all. — Anonymous If it wasn't practice, would pros do it? — RankRival What does it feel like to get outranked by a girl lol? — Anonymous You lose to normal girls besides Jeon Jeonseol too. — NoTeamsPlz I don't play team games! — Anonymous Ugh, game ruiners, you again? — Anonymous Why's a team dodger in the team gallery? — TheoryCrafter Theoretically, if you don't play, you won't lose to Victory either.

IRL you're bronze trolls. — Anonymous Don't lump Plat with bronze. — Anonymous Silver pretending to be Plat, 500 won bounty. — BronzeLord Bronze, so give me 500 won. At first glance, this post looked like utter nonsense, but it nailed the core of the issue spot-on.
Rankers are all game maniacs, incarnations of raw competitive drive, aren't they?
Except for #1 Victory, everyone has someone above them—that's obvious.
But having a 'woman' above you in the rankings? That's different.
Something was bubbling up inside the rankers and pros, boiling their guts.
Even those not overtaken yet.
The tension of getting outranked by a woman!
It was like sinking a battleship of anxiety into the lax solo queue waters.
Suddenly, a storm raged through the heavenly tiers.
— SpectatorLife At least off-season has more to watch. Spectator mode will kill time flying by. For spectators not caught in the storm, it was pure entertainment.
Jeon Jeonseol's fame soared higher, her stream gaining buzz on its own.
📰 Breaking News [Author: Anonymous] [Title: Why's Jeon Jeonseol inching up the ranks so teasingly?] Just go full throttle to #1 like a man. — ManlyGrind She's a girl, what "man" lol. — Anonymous Fake male accs exist, impure ideology. Block bait for girl haters. — SickBay The 'sick' in Sick Leave. — Anonymous Sick as in retard? Sick as in sickly, idiot. Retard sick and sickly sick are the same sick. Dumbass. — GalDefender Don't you remember Gal Lord got wrecked trying Challenger #1? Protect our Gal Lord! — Anonymous Who made her Gal Lord? She really must be frail. That's what makes it hotter. Whoa, that's too far. Open notepad. "The gallery's peaceful as ever today."
There's an unwritten rule among pros and streamers.
Never look at community sites.
The internet is full of venomous demons.
It's best not to see the toxic posts that do nothing but harm.
But humans are genetically wired to ego-search—their own nicknames online.
It's torture not knowing what's being said!
Jeon Jeonseol was no exception.
Sometimes horny rants catch the eye.
But if it's just beyond the monitor, no real threat, it's not scary.
The real scary part is...
'Going out into the world is still terrifying.'
Infinity Games kept nagging to meet in person.
Whatever they're prepping, they won't force a face reveal, right?
Then why insist on an in-person contract?
I get it's suspicious not showing your face, but...
"Why'd I have to be this gorgeous?"
She switched her phone to camera mode for some self-admiration time.
Way more frequent than ego-searching.
A pretty face always lifts the mood.
Reason for growing out her hair?
It looks prettier.
Even if she didn't want to become a woman.
Even if womanhood brought nothing but nightmares.
Humans instinctively chase the prettiest options.
"Gotta keep this good stuff to myself."
Kidding.
The real reason for hiding her face is to avoid stalkers or drama.
At her worst trauma, she seriously considered disfiguring plastic surgery.
But luckily, she regained sanity—no ruining her face for rare crazies.
Thus, this face was preserved.
"Fuck, I'm stunning. Holy shit."
Not princess syndrome or hatchet syndrome.
A face that nearly got her shot, witnessed a mass shooting.
Even crude curses don't dim its beauty.
Nah, it suits her better.
Perks of perfection—solo freakouts still look cinematic.
If given the chance: live past with this face or average one?
Answer: dropout, hikikomori with this face.
Wait, same as now?
...A face so bewitching it mesmerized even its owner.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ The world has more sweet gigs than you'd think.
Why don't normals see them? No job postings needed.
They just slot in a connected fit—no public ads.
Jeong Min-hee landing one was pure luck.
Without Seol-ah and her dad's special situation, no ad for this honey pot.
Minimal work, fat pay.
Some call it life waste, but survival's tough—future plans later.
NEETs get 500k in this era.
Easy, comfy, high pay, even business cards as "President"—looks shit?
Future's hazy, sure.
...President card weird?
Yeah, Jeong Min-hee thought so too.
Who the hell is streamer Jeon Jeonseol to need a puppet prez for secrecy?
Of course she's curious.
But contract bans prying.
Yeah, sketchy.
But great pay? Easy work? Deal.
'Curiosity ends today.'
Boss finally showing face, some whim.
Real boss is 50s chairman dude.
But streamer's the true body—call her boss?
Jeong Min-hee arrived at the reserved restaurant, gave name "Jeonseol-ah," got seated.
First there—empty room.
Waited, then next guest with staff guide.
"Gasp!"
Talking to self is weird, making noise alone weirder.
But couldn't help it.
Entrant was too stunning.
Utterly, uniquely gorgeous.
Tall as hell, bust tormenting clothes to match.
Ash-gray hair—rare hue—with violet bridge dyed atop.
Beauty below defies words.
Pretty outfit, but face overshadowed it.
"Hello."
"Gasp!"
Hearing her voice, Jeong Min-hee let out a second shriek.
She was about to stan hard.
