Chapter 228 – 228. Guest Commentary (3)

2nd set lost.

Incredible results came out.
No, to be precise, the process was even more unreliable than the result.

‘Certainly, the form of Psychic is not the same as before.’

Mad Tiger Gaming’s carry role and the downfall of Psychic, who is currently evaluated as the best physically in Korea.
This was even more shocking than the defeat of Mad Tiger Gaming.

“It was a very disappointing match. The psychic player in particular seems to be very nervous, right?”
“It can be. Isn’t it the World Championship after all? But the next set will definitely loosen up a lot.”

The commentators worked hard on the bloody shield, but the sluggish past was not fixed.
I bit my lip and paid attention to my expression.

‘What if someone really messed with the condition of the psychic by force?’

Physical evidence and psychological evidence were too weak to be sure.
It’s just that I had a similar thing happen to me 4 years ago.

‘But the odds of that happening are very low. If something had happened, the reaction would have come right from the various tests.’

Even the medical staff supported by the league and the capsule’s own tests are not negligible.
I just thought it was a joke and decided to pass it on.

Then, the 3rd set of bans and picks proceeded.

I was a little worried about the psychic, but I couldn’t stop the game.

Ban picks flow similarly to sets 1 and 2.
It was a one-on-one situation, but both teams think there was no problem with the ban pick so far.
In fact, it was not unreasonable as we exchanged one room at a time with a similar ban pick.

“Tintin is taking Cerberus. Overall, I think the teamfight will be very strong because it is a combination that sweeps the wide area.”
“Then Mad Tiger will take Helios as the last pick, right?”

The situation reached the 5th pick turn of Mad Tiger, the blue formation.

The expected pick is Helios, who has a long range and is also a tier character.
However, a character that I never thought of, or to be honest, I can’t understand at all, appears.

“Hello?! Is it Hell?!”
“No, this… I guess I picked the wrong one?”
“Hey… I don’t know if it’s been practiced. It’s a pick that doesn’t appear often in solo rank…”

In Norse mythology, he is the son of Loki and a mythological figure who rules the world where the dead go.
In the arena, it is also a character who fights with various gimmicks by commanding various minions and declaring the territory of the dead.

‘And it’s also one of the characters with the lowest pick rate.’

Hell, a character abandoned even by craftsmen.
What were your thoughts on choosing this guy?

I couldn’t read Hwang Ji-yeon’s intentions.

###

‘Ah, it’s ruined.’

Hwangbo Jiyeon held her throbbing head and let out a long sigh.

In a situation where she should have drawn Helios, she had to draw Hel.
Hell, a non-mainstream character who hears’Are you a new character?’Whenever his name is called because he is not even used in solo lang!
Even in a World Championship 1v1 situation!

‘It’s really ruined.’

How could I have made such a ridiculous mistake?

By the time she left her final fifth character pick, her hair was a mess.
Grabbing her throbbing hair her, she somehow managed to get here.
But when it comes to calling the character, she makes a big mistake.

[MTG Peace: You know… It… ]
[MTG Kid: That? What is that?]
[MTG Peace: Ah… What is that… ]

I spent all the time I had left trying to come up with a name for a character that didn’t come to mind.
Then finally, finally, he shouts the name Hell.

[MTG Peace: Hell… The one that starts with!]
[MTG Kid: Ah… Helios! Helios!]
[MTG Wizard: Hey, pick it up quickly! No time!]

Thud…

Can we really blame Kid’s physicality?
Kid barely searched for Hell, but the remaining time ran out, and Hell, which was at the top of the list of characters, was picked.

Team members who can’t hide their embarrassing feelings.
There was only heavy silence over the voice chat for a while.

[MTG Kid: … Does this restart?]
[MTG Wizard: I don’t think so… ]
[MTG Peace: Hey, I’ll see what I ask!]

A mistake that should not have been made was made at the World Championships.
Can an accident that occurred due to a pure individual mistake in such an important game be treated as something that never happened?
Naturally, Hwang Ji-yeon received an answer that it seemed impossible, and she had no choice but to watch the game start as it is.

‘Ah… Head hurts… ‘

Thanks to the big accident, I came to my senses for a while, but after I came out of the capsule, the headache started again.

Sitting blankly in her chair, she couldn’t help but listen to the questionable reprimands of the other coaches and coaches.
Until now, only she had the right to speak about the ban-pick, so she is in a situation where she has nothing to say even if she has ten mouths.

“…Really sorry. Strangely, my head hurts so much today. I’ll be sure to come to my senses for the next set.”
“Nope. You look really bad in my opinion. I’d like to take a little break this time. There are many other coaches and managers. I am too.”

Hearing her trembling voice her, Park Seong-pil, general manager of Mad Tiger Gaming, spoke in a worried tone.
She made a big mistake, but it would be a lie if she said she did n’t have her dedication as the reason the team worked so well.

General manager Park Seong-pil pressed her shoulders with a firm voice and secured her to the chair.

“I know. How much did director Hwangbo pay attention to the monthly championship? But I think I really need to rest now. Do you know what color your face is now? Psychic is not in good condition, but there is no need to sacrifice yourself.”
“……”

Hwangbo Jiyeon could only nod her head in the end.
Slightly turning her eyes her, the in-game relay monitor that she looked at saw a psychic playing with the Hell she had pulled out.

Of course, the situation was not in their favor.

She silently closed her eyes at her deep feeling of guilt.

###

2 consecutive losses.

One time was because of Psychic’s mistake, and the other time was because of Hwang Ji-yeon’s mistake.

The commentators and casters had no choice but to look sad.

“It was a very unfortunate mistake. One set, one set was an important situation.”
“But I can’t help what has already happened. If you’re feeling down like this, wouldn’t the next set really be the last? Forget everything in the past and work hard until the end!”
“Sure. It’s not over until it’s over.”

I struggled to come up with words of consolation and hit them as comments, but everyone knew.
The momentum has already been considerably overtaken by Tintin Chimera, and Mad Tiger Gaming’s form has been steadily declining since the first set.

‘It’s a pity for me to see.’

If you sit in the relay seat, you can see the stage at a glance.
I couldn’t help but see Hwang Ji-yeon, who returned to the backstage with a sullen appearance after the ban pick was over.

If she ends up losing this set, she will be runner-up twice in the World Championship alone.
She has more runner-up finishes than she wins.

Even so, she said that she was more happy with her bronze medal, which made her feel relieved that she had won a medal, than her silver medal, which left her regret that she had missed out on the gold medal.

The runner-up was definitely a good thing, but you will never be satisfied.

‘If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have taken on guest commentary…’

A 4-set match will follow.
After losing two sets in a row, Mad Tiger Gaming may have felt that something needed to change, so they came up with quite a different ban/pick.

‘I think it’s right to do what I did in sets 1 and 2, but.’

Hwang Ji-yeon could not be found among the coaches and coaches entering the capsule.
If it were her, she would have made the same judgment as me, but the newly inducted Gamko Jin seemed to think a little differently.

Anyway, there was no answer to the ban pick.
Even in the 3rd set, she drew the wrong Hel, but if she had won she would have been wrapped in a Joker card or Goddess or something.

Soon after, the ban pick is completed and the 4th set proceeds.
It might be the last match.
Then came a sound that shattered her tension and shallow expectations.

[First take!]

Tintin Chimera got the first point with an aggressive invasion.
The commentator’s face deepened.

In the situation just before, they could have blocked it or even aimed for a counterattack if they were alert, but it seemed that the mentality of the players had already been shattered.

The commentators also realized that and blew their comments gloomily.

“I think the 4th set will also be a really difficult road.”
“Our players, we have to work hard until the end. You have to increase your concentration.”

However, contrary to their wishes, the in-game situation was getting more and more difficult.
Even in line battles, joining fights, and object fights, he is pushed back little by little.

There was a game going on that wouldn’t be strange if it exploded at any time, although it didn’t collapse so close that the viewer was breathless.

“Uh uh… This is dangerous! Psychic!”
“Ah… The position of the psychic player was too forward. Tintin did a really good teamfight.”
“The game has tilted a lot now.”

Still, the torture of hope that I had been holding on to, wondering if it would do something for Mad Tiger Gaming, eventually came to an end.
Tintin Chimera sneaks in without missing Psychic’s position mistake.

The gap that had been built up until now widened all at once and became so large that it was difficult to narrow it.

After that, there was only a massacre show that I couldn’t even open my eyes to.
Opponent team lightly stepping on the hands of Mad Tiger Gaming players who are barely holding on to the edge of a cliff due to their obsession with winning.

Mad Tiger Gaming, who was highly anticipated and wanted to achieve a miracle run, faced defeat in the final much easier than expected.

“GG!!”
“That’s amazing, Tintin Chimera.”
“I have to admit what I have to admit. It was a flawless performance.”

Casters and commentators chose to uplift the opposing team rather than lower Mad Tiger Gaming’s players.

I also finished the first guest commentary by throwing a three-three comments.

###

After the match, Psychic couldn’t lift his face his.

‘Where did it go wrong?’

No matter how much I turn my head, I can’t figure it out.
In fact, my head hurt so much that I didn’t even want to think about it.

With a rejected smile, he returned to the waiting room and sat in a chair for a while.
The team members, coach, and coach didn’t say much, but everyone must have the same idea.
If he had done his part, the outcome could have been different.

‘How do I look at my older sister’s face now?’

Psychic smiled bitterly when he remembered Hwang Ji-yeon.
If I were to pick someone who supports Mad Tiger Gaming, most would pick Psykick and Hwang Ji-yeon.

Psychic was in charge of the team’s carry in the game, and Hwang Ji-yeon was in charge of everything outside the game.
However, in this World Championship, the two did not use their strength at all.
So if you want to win, can you win?

‘My sister must be having a hard time too… I can’t comfort you because my nose is dead… ‘

Consolation is something a good guy has to do.
If the guy who had the same accident is cheering for you, you can’t seem worthy.

Psychic sighed and rose from his seat.
It’s true that I’m worried though.
Even if they can’t openly comfort each other, wouldn’t it be possible for criminals to lick each other’s wounds?

He asked and asked for her location of her Hwangbo Jiyeon her, and headed to where she was.
It was a small cafeteria prepared for league officials to rest.

“Who is Hwangbo… “

Kick between trying to approach her with her bright face as much as she could.

However, he realizes that Hwang Ji-yeon is already talking to someone.
She quickly hid behind the wall without realizing it.

‘I didn’t commit a crime, why did I hide?’

Should I say hello again?
Although he was the one who she wanted to, she soon realized that she was happy with her choice.

She was very familiar with her and the other person she was talking to.

“Jiyeon-ah, good job.”

Now he was the coach of the Battle Angels and his love rival Kim Jeong-soo.
