Chapter 25 – 25. Sell Mission (2)

The quarterfinal match has begun.

The opposing team is ‘Daewon PC Room’.
As a team organized by the owner of the capsule room at his own expense, he was serious about the competition.
It was likely to be the biggest hurdle among the teams they have faced so far.

However, it is clearly a team with major weaknesses.
It was the tier of the opposing jungler.

[DW I’m a Gozar (Platinum 3)]

It was the lowest tier in the DW team, and it is not a high tier even in the overall competition.
Even in our team, white white, the lowest tier, is stuck at Platinum 4.

She’s about the same as her, so it’s obvious how big of a hole this jungler is.

I thought ban-picks would be a very important factor in this edition.
My goal is to destroy the opposing jungler.

As I entered the arena pick-up stage, I focused on Lee Ji-hye’s back his.

[BA Battle: Lee Ji-hye. Can you continue counter jungling without a break?]

Counter jungle.
In a battlefield divided into blue team and red team jungles, it refers to the act of entering the opponent’s jungle and skipping the ‘Sentinel’.

Again, Sentinel has a similar meaning to Line’s creep, but the difference is that Sentinel regenerates in the jungle camp.

The jungler catches these Sentinels and earns levels and gold.
However, since they respawn in a specific place called a camp, rather than continuously flocking along the line like creeps, the jungler needed to plan out their routes and hunt these jungle camps deliberately.

But what if counter-jungling ruins your jungling routine?

Junglers sometimes fail even faster than liner failures.
If there is a really big gap with the opponent’s jungler, you can’t even enter your own jungle, so meaningless walks often happen.

[BA Wisdom: I think you should think about your opponent’s pick]
[BA Battle: Don’t worry about that. The other person will probably play the Three Masters]
[BA Wisdom: That’s Possible]

The character Xuanzang is a commonly referred to as herbivorous jungle, and in the beginning, he only goes around the jungle camp to grow.
Whether it’s ganking or counter-jungling, it’s common play to watch teamfights while avoiding fights as much as possible.

[BA Battle: I’ll catch Hong Gil-dong.]
[BA Wisdom: Okay]
[BA Battle: Enter the counter jungle like crazy. The mid will pick up a character who is quick to organize the line, so just focus on holding the opponent in the line]
[BA Luna: Yes]

After hearing the answer from mid laner Han Yuna, I started the ban pick.
The first van was the ‘Go-Hyeok-Jo’ van, aiming for the opponent’s jungler.
It was the opponent’s jungler’s best pick.

The Daewon PC room team chose ‘Artemis’ as their first van.
Thanks to Ryu Seo-yoon, an Artemis loyalist, I always feel like I’m going in after eating a ban card.

Next, I banned ‘Gabriel’ as the second ban.
This is also the opponent’s jungler’s best pick.

Opponent bans ‘Atalante’.
I can see the willingness to try somehow to bite down on the narrow character pool of Ryu Seo-yoon.

In the past, this alone would have reduced Ryu Seo-yoon’s skills by more than half, but now it was a rumor.

I used the last ban card on ‘four o’clock’.
Likewise, the opponent’s jungler’s best pick.
And the opponent bans Ryu Seo-yoon’s ‘Hydra’.
It was a scene that clearly showed the ban-pick strategy of both teams.

Battle Angels attacked the opponent’s jungler, and Daewon’s PC room held our own one-dealer in check.
Now it was a showdown to see who had a wider character pool.

‘The opposing jungler showed a herbivorous jungle-oriented play. If Lee Ji-hye’s counter-jungling is successful, I think I’ll win this match easily.’

She proceeded with the pick with confidence.
And as expected, the opponent brought out the herbivorous jungler, ‘Samjang Mupsa’.

It was a deliberately opened pick. This is a possible strategy because there are few teams that give low-tier players unfamiliar characters.

And we caught ‘Hong Gil-dong’ right next.
The Korean-style character, bandit Hong Gil-dong, is a character specialized in counter-jungling.
If Lee Ji-hye did well, she could make the teammate character Samjang Muppa breathless.

Team Battle Angels
Top: BA Carrywoman (Hercules)
Jungle: BA Wisdom (Hong Gil-dong)
MID: BA Luna (Hyunmu)
AD Carry: BA Ryu (Orion)
Support : BA White (Hestia)

Team DW
Top       : Stop the DW troll! (Woman King)
Jungle : DW I’m a eunuch (Samurai Master)
MID: Ace (Zeus) of the DW cotyledon crime corps
AD Carry: DW 3v50 (Captain Hook)
Support : DW Sister’s Water Bucket (Aphrodite)

All picks and bans have been completed.
I let out a deep sigh from exhaustion and entered the game in spectator mode.
And on one side, the broadcast of the nuclear sphere was turned on. On the broadcast, we were talking about ban-pick for a while.

“Battle Angels vs Daewon PC room! Happy Life, how do you see the two teams’ picks and bans?”
“The Daewon PC Room team brought a typical teamfight combination. A sweeping combination with an AoE ultimate. On the other hand, Battle Angels is a combination focused on laning.”

Happy Life picked up our team’s top and jungle lines.

“The idea is to fully take the initiative in the early stages through the very aggressive upper body of Hercules and Hong Gil-dong. In the end, I think it will be a battle of how well the Daewon PC room can withstand the laning phase and play well in teamfights.”
“Yes. Thank you for your words. Then we’ll see the game!”

The die has already been cast.
In the past, when I was a player, if from now on was the beginning of the main game, after becoming a coach, my role is over.

I looked at Hong Gil-dong, who was climbing a tree.
With her recent awakening of her, she will surely be able to do it.

###

“Ah, player Wisdom. We will enter the enemy jungle without fail!”
“Samjangbeop is the representative herbivorous jungler, and Hong Gildong is the representative carnivore jungler. If you meet on the road, Xuanzang must run away unconditionally!”

Wisdom moved between the trees with nimble movements.
Just in time, the priest Samjang, who was holding the Sentinel, came into sight.
A Wisdom player who waits until Sentinel runs out of health.

Even though I was eating Sentinels while being wary of the surroundings, I didn’t seem to have found Wisdom yet.

In the end, right before Sentinel died, Wisdom jumped out and took the last hit.
The player, who had guessed to some extent, quickly fell back and was able to save his life.

“Also! Thief Hong Gil-dong is this taste! Sentinel Skipping the big ones and disappearing! I really want to cook in an earthen pot!”
“Still, Koja must have expected it to some extent. In fact, no matter how many counter-jungling hits, Xuanzang Xuanzang is strong in teamfights, so it’s not a big damage.”
“No,hehe. The nickname of the player who plays Xuanzang is ‘I’m a Gozar’! You can’t call me a eunuch!”
“Oh, sorry!”

After that, Wisdom almost lived in the opponent’s jungle and began skipping Sentinels.
Samjang Xuan also tried to avoid Hong Gil-dong and enter the jungle on the Battle Angels side in preparation for that, but a problem arises here.

Hercules, an aggressive top laner, and Hyeonmu, a mid laner who manages creeps with ignorance.
As the two characters continued to provide support based on their leadership in the line battle, the Daewon PC room team began to be pushed back in the fight to join.

[First take!]

[Hong Gil-dong → Samjangbeopsa]

In the end, Xuanzang Xuanzang, who forced himself into the jungle of the Battle Angels team, met his death.
It was said through the team voice with the anger of the three chapters.

[DW I’m a eunuch: opponents keep coming into our jungle. You have to catch this once.]
[DW Cotyledon Security Team Ace: Hang on for now. Let’s team up with only level 6.]

But even after that, Wisdom’s counter-jungling continued.
He teamed up with his supporter His, White, to set up a ward in the Jungle Formation of the Daewon PC room, and constantly pursued the Three Masters.
The second kill followed.

[Hong Gil-dong → Samjangbeopsa]

Thanks to that, when Hong Gil-dong was level 6, Master Samjang was level 4.

“Ahhh…! The level difference between jungles is too big! If this is the case, from the point of view of Xuanzang, just meeting him is death?!”
“Wow. Hong Gil-dong’s play is truly king. Xuanzang has nothing to do but take a walk!”

[What are you really doing lol]
[Battle Angels opponents are all idiotshahafighting in the jungle but no support haha]
[What is jungle sensitivity? It’s a pick without line leadership in the first place, but how long does it take to support?]

Commentary as well as public opinion on the chat window gradually leaned toward the victory of the Battle Angels.
And in fact, even the object fight that took place after a while, the Daewon PC room was defeated.

There was a large object called ‘Guardian’ in the arena. In the lower jungle, there was a Buddha who gave gold, and in the upper jungle, there was a Messiah who gave powerful buffs.

The Battle Angels, who took care of Buddha, returned to the line with a stronger appearance.
Daewon’s PC room, completely deprived of the initiative, became unable to enter their own team’s jungle because of the East Sea and West Sea flashing Wisdom players.

“The Battle Angels team has a great sense of stability unlike a third division team! Except for the well-rounded Wisdom players, they rarely overdo it, so the Daewon PC room team has no chance.”

The jungle was so scary that I couldn’t get out of the base camp, so the growth gap started to widen.
All objects were taken by the Battle Angels, and the number of towers broken was greater than the number of kills.
The chat window was flooded with cheers.

[Wow, bitch no jam. When do you fight?]
[Is this the true story of 3 kills at this time? I’ll give you something and give you a game too haha]
[This is the K-League.]
[Fight the fuck.]

And finally, a team fight took place in the twin towers in front of the core of the Daewon PC room.
But by then, the gap had already widened to the point where a fight could not be established.

The Battle Angels took down all the players in the Daewon PC room and even destroyed the core.
Total killscore 8 to 0.
It was a perfect score.

[And the best no-jam game ever]
[I lost without being able to fight properly lol]
[Is there a difference in level? Isn’t the competition balance ruined?]

The number of viewers did not recover even though the Battle Angels team’s match was a hot topic.
Even in the second set, there were scenes that were no different.

Coach Kim Jeong-soo, who persistently attacks the jungler of Daewon’s PC room.
The jungler of the Daewon PC room, whose mentality was completely broken, avoided Lee Ji-hye with a gray face all the time.
Fear imprinted in the DNA of a herbivorous jungler!
Just looking at Lee Ji-hye’s face made him give up the Sentinel he was eating and run away.

“Ah… Daewon PC room team. In the end, it collapses like this.”
“I showed that I wouldn’t give up until the end, but if it’s going to be like this, I’d like to give a siren.”

The quarterfinals ended with Nukgu’s constant mockery.
Now, a week later, the finals of the nuclear guillotine match will take place.

The matchup will be a best-of-three match between the Battle Angels, who are attracting attention for their looks and skills, and the NTR (Neo Trance) team, a professional team that was relegated from the 2nd division in the previous season.
