Chapter 129 – 129. Round 1, VS Dragon Knights (2)

ACK Challengers League Spring Week 1, Day 2 match.

“Everyone has been waiting for a long time! Today is finally here!”
“Ah… I’ve really been waiting for this day. Dragon Knights vs. Battle Angels!”
“Waaaaa!!”

When ‘the team’ was mentioned, cheers erupted from the audience.

At that, the commentator and caster smiled proudly.
They were supposed to give the best commentary in any situation, but it is better to broadcast a game with a large audience and a lot of interest.

Because of that, the Battle Angels match was one of the matches they really wanted to broadcast.
A supernova team that is paying attention to both tournament officials and fans!

Regardless of the outcome of the match, it was obvious that the Internet would heat up.

“I haven’t been able to sleep since yesterday either. I’m thinking of broadcasting this match!”
“The interest from the fans is really amazing!”
“You’re right. Finally, the queen who came up from the 3rd division! Battle Angels and the emperor of the 2nd Division! The Dragon Knights match has been concluded. You can see the skills of the Battle Angels that have been hidden in a veil!”
“Many fans are predicting the overwhelming dominance of the Dragon Knights. Actually, it’s normal. Battle Angels, as you introduced earlier, are a rookie team that just came up to the 2nd division, but the Dragon Knights have been in first place for 2 years in the 2nd division.

Along with the shouts of excited commentators, the atmosphere at the scene gradually heated up.

“Ruler! Then, let’s look at the observation points. Let’s all watch it together!”

Then, a group photo of Battle Angels and Dragon Knights is displayed on the huge screen in the center.

“Battle Angels and Dragon Knights! It’s a battle between the Dragon Knights, who traditionally have a strong mid, and the Battle Angels, who are said to have a strong bottom!”
“You’re right. Besides, the style is completely opposite. Apparently, Luna, the mid laner of the Battle Angels, is not known for her strong carry, so it is a position that the one-dealer Ryu usually plays. On the other hand, Dragon Knights tends to show stable management because all players have equally good carry skills.”

The picture on the screen goes to the next one.

“And as I said earlier, it is a battle between the Dragon Knights, the emperor of the second division, and the Battle Angels, the queen.”
“Yes.Hehe. Never in history has an all-female team been promoted to the second division. So the title of first queen is taken by the Battle Angels!”
“The last observation point… “

Finally, as the picture of Luna and Neto appears on the screen, small cheers erupt from the audience.

“I knew the fans would like it. It is the recruitment of Battle Angels’ new mid laner, Neto!”
“There was something the Battle Angels heard from the 3rd division. Weak mid-line… ! It seems that Neto’s recruitment was to solve that problem, but… It’s a bit questionable. As many of you know, Neto was originally a one-hander from the Neo Trance team! But why recruit a player in a one-deal position as a midfielder?”
“It’s such a bold challenge.”
“That’s right. Thanks to that, there are many fans who are worried!”
“So today, the point to watch is whether Neto, who is a new face, or whether the existing Luna player will emerge.”
“You’re right! Shall we see for ourselves then?! 2nd division league first appearance! These are Battle Angels!”

A stage where smoke erupts along with the voice of the caster.
And the players of Battle Angels appear from the open door in the center.

“Waaaaa!”
“Wowaaaaa!”

Players come to the center of the stage with the shouts of the audience.

They were Carrie Woman, Wisdom, Ryu, White, and Luna.

“Player Luna! Luna, who was with us in the 2nd division promotion match, is coming out!”
“Anyway, I’ve been cooperating with my teammates for longer, and he’s a very good defensive player, so maybe he doesn’t want to gamble!”

Battle Angels players bow to the audience and enter the capsules listed on the left.
And then the smoke erupted once again.

“Then, let me introduce you to the champion of the second division! These are the Dragon Knights!”
“Waaaaa!”

It wasn’t as good as the Battle Angels, but there was a shout that could resonate in the stadium in its own way.
Since it was completely backward compatible with the first division, it was quite a big cheer considering the second division, which did not have as many viewers as expected.

Afterwards, the Dragon Knights players also walked out to the central stage.
No, one was in a wheelchair, so all the players were retaliating.

Hope, Love Bear, Endeavor, Face, Guardian.

They also went into the capsule once again receiving cheers from the audience.

“Unfortunately, the Dragon Knights failed to promote to the 1st Division again this time. There must be a lot of fans who were disappointed thanks to that. However! There have been testimonies from many people involved that you have achieved another growth recently.”
“These days, it is known that his momentum in his scrims is unusual.”
“That’s right. How long will the Battle Angels be able to withstand in front of the Emperor’s attack? !”
“Maybe it will be a tighter match than I thought. Didn’t Carry Woman carry a knife character that she hadn’t taken out before in the 2nd division promotion match? Many say that the Battle Angels have now moved away from the bottom carry one tool!”
“The moment I speak! It is said that the banpick is ready. Let’s see the ban pick!”

Coo kung… !
The screen on the huge screen shows the arena banpick stage with magnificent music.

The players facing each other, and the manager and coaches behind them.
However, there was only one coach behind the Battle Angels, but there were three coaches behind the Dragon Knights.

After that, the ban pick proceeds step by step.

“Battle Angels, the blue formation, will ban first. He bans the blue dragon, a tier 1 character, without difficulty.”
“The Dragon Knights are Hyunmu and Artemis. It’s not a pick that’s used well these days, but it can be seen that Hyeonmu is Luna’s trademark and Artemis is Ryu’s trademark. We start by cutting the best picks of the two players.”
“In a way, it can be seen as recognizing the Battle Angels players. Instead of tier 1 characters, I will ban characters you say are good at!”

After that, characters known as Tier 1 were banned one after another.
And the starting pick order.

“The first character to take from Battle Angels is… “
“It’s Fenrir. It’s a decent jungle pick.”
“Dragon Knights take Helios and Jeo Bajie. The bot combination is a bit harsh, isn’t it?”
“Top Thor and Yeti Pick. Yeti would be a support. Fenrir has already appeared in the jungle.”
“The Dragon Knights who oppose him are the Jungle White Tiger and the Mid-Zeus. This makes forking a pretty strong combination, right?”
“Yes. Battle Angels seem to need more characters to open the initiation. The moment I tell you, there is a place for the shooter in the one deal. It has a long basic range, so it is a character that can fight against poking characters.”
“Not bad. And the last character…”

For Battle Angels, the mid laner, Luna, is left with a pick.
A character becomes a pick only after the timer runs out until the last minute.

“Nine tailed fox? Hey, a nine-tailed fox appears.”
“Isn’t it a character that Luna has never shown before? It looks like you really sharpened your knife?!”
“It’s not a tier 1 character, but it’s not bad for Dragon Knights, which has a lot of poke characters. However, I think the important thing is whether Luna can handle an assassin-type mid character well!”

However, the last pick of the Dragon Knights that followed drew even greater cheers.

“Lubo! The top follicle comes out!”
“Yeopo of the 2nd division promotion match that became a hot topic! The main character is Carrie Woman from Battle Angels! The spirit of taking out the follicle against the main character!”
“This game is so exciting!”
