Chapter 254 – 254. For Vengeance (2)

The opponent was Mad Tiger Gaming, the best gaming club in Korea.
No matter how much our team has achieved steady growth so far, it was clear that it was a wall that could not be easily overcome.

I looked at the players I had taught one by one.

God Dog, Wisdom, Luna, Ryu, White.

And then I look at the opponents I taught or played with in the past.

Carryman, Beyond, Major, Psychic, Kid.

Among them, there was no relationship with major players, but as Hwang Ji-yeon is a player who has been called up from the 2nd team, her potential is already proven talent.

Each and every one of them were not easy opponents.

The ban-pick phase began right away.
Various combinations are still in play, so it is not strange to see which character appears.

If there’s one problem, it’s that our team hasn’t had enough time to practice because of recent events.
I didn’t even think of preparing a special combination to face Mad Tiger Gaming.

[BA Battle: Let’s ban mainly meta picks.]

I had no intention of winning this game anyway.
Recently, our team proved that it has enough potential to rise to the top team by capturing even Ozone Frost, which is called the second-ranked team in the first division.

Even if I gave up this game, there was a next round and a next season.
If we look at it slowly, eventually we will win first place.

After I safely ban Helios, the opponent bans Hercules.
It seems that it will probably give strength to the top.

Heo Sook-hee’s character range isn’t quite as wide yet, but that doesn’t mean she’s blocked by a few ban cards.

I then tried it while banning Fenrir, an aggressive jungle character.
Then, as expected, the opponent uses a ban card on the top character once again.

[BA Battle: I think it means to stick together as sword characters in the tower. Heo Sook-hee is preparing.]
[BA GODOG: Ha! I’ll give you a smash! Dare to challenge me… ?]

Heo Suk-hee asserted in a confident tone, probably thanks to her recent outstanding performance.

Carrieman and Goddog.
Personally, I’m sure Carryman will win more than 70 times out of 100 fights, but he hasn’t said anything about it.

Burning her once in a while will help her career as an athlete.

The stage to pick has arrived.
Let’s pick a support character again this time, and the opponent chooses a sword character to be used for the top, perhaps showing confidence.

[BA GODOG: Wow… I never thought I would pick a real Carl character… Am I easy enough?]

Ignoring Heo Sook-hee’s muttering, I continued her ban-pick.

Depending on the opponent’s top and support, this side also draws a top and a one-hander.
After that, the composition was a way for us to adapt to the character chosen by the opponent.

After selecting all the characters, I didn’t really like the overall structure, but I thought that it would be the same for the opposing team.
It was a real sword fight that no one could see as having an advantage.

[BA Battle: Be careful not to explode the tower.]

The opponent is a veteran team and the best club in Korea with both physical and skillful skills.
At least the other players were less worried, but it was true that Heo Sook-hee, who was still like a runaway colt, was very anxious.

I left her capsule one last time, leaving her with one piece of advice.
When I return to the waiting room, I see Kang Yul and Lee Ji-ah waiting for me.

She sat down next to Kang Yul and asked her.

“Didn’t you want to go to the game today?”

Her opponent top laner is a carry man who means a lot to her.

No matter how shy she is, she will want to prove herself to him at least once.
She realizes that she is no longer Carrie Woman, his knock-off.

But she shook her head.

“The team wins first. Heo Sook-hee will definitely not be pushed back physically even against Carryman.”

Well.
I couldn’t agree with that.

I let out a subtle moan and turned my gaze to the monitor that was relaying the game.

At the same time, the monitor shows the top, mid, and bottom laning status alternately, then stops in one place.

“Uh?”

Kang Yul’s voice sounded embarrassed.
It was also because Heo Sook-hee’s physical strength was remarkably low.

If you trade with your opponent once more, you can get a kill angle.
However, perhaps because Heo Sook-hee believed in her physical strength, she gave up her return and continued her line battle without any concessions.

In that moment, I was sure.
She is dead

[First take!]

As expected, Heo Sook-hee dedicated the first point to Carrieman.

###

Easy, too easy

Carrie Man watched her counterpart’s character crumble to dust in front of her own.

At first glance, it was a fierce physical battle.
A single skill shot could ruin the deal exchange, and even when we weren’t fighting, we kept looking at each other.

Carrie Man, however, found the whole process boring, to the point that she yawned.

The reason was simple.
It was because the opponent was too reckless.

Like a raging bull, a physical monster that only knows how to go straight.
If he loosened his tension just a little, he would have been hit by a horn and knocked out, but he was as skilled as an old bullfighter.

He flexibly responded to the charging God Dog, and took the upper hand in the deal exchange.
The result was this.

[First take!]

Suddenly, I remembered the days when I played at the World Championship.
There were many monsters who had excellent physical and intelligent play.

Every moment was a series of trembling life-or-death decisions, and constant fights with opponents took place.
On the other hand, the current laning battle was at the level of twisting the wrist of a child.
Because I didn’t feel any trembling in my chest.

‘I’m going to go in moderation today.’

It was a little disappointing.
I was looking forward to it because it was a club created by that ‘Battle’ hyung.

It was really below my expectations when I think of him who taught him the true pleasure of the top line.

[MTG Beyond: I’ll look at the mid-line.]

Then, Beyond’s ganking succeeds in the mid lane as well.
Glancing at the situation there, it seems that the opposing mid laner made a clumsy effort and even gave up a kill.
What happened was similar to the situation that just happened in the top lane.

[MTG Phychic: What is it. It’s nothing. Let’s make a perfect game like this.]

He said in a voice as if the psychics were futile.
Carrieman also agreed with that statement.

Wouldn’t it have been a little more fun if Carrie Woman, who was her clone, had appeared?

But he soon laughed and denied his own thoughts.

He is a player named after himself just to increase his popularity.
He made it all the way to the top division, but just there.
It was safe to assume that he had nothing to look forward to seeing as he was no longer in the game.

‘Then… Let’s think about how to humiliate them.’

Carrie Man smiled, raising the corners of her mouth.
An evil plan passed through his mind.

###

It was true that she always felt uneasy about Heo Sook-hee’s play style.
She was a style that only believed in her physicality and pushed her forward, so if she met an opponent who was more physically superior or experienced, she would hit the limit.

‘Moreover, Hanyuna is also starting to break down.’

Could it be because of Lee Ji-ah’s influence?
Originally, she was the one who played her growth type character better, focusing on her stable play, but this time she insisted on her unreasonable play and lost her stability.

I crossed my arms and looked at Kang Yul sitting next to me.

As expected, when the team was faltering, the leader needed to step in and hold the center.
She looked at me as if she noticed my gaze.

“Let’s get ready for the second set.”

Having said that, she silently nodded her head.
It was a place that could be a burden in some ways.

It was a genuine product that the opponent had copied, but it was also because there were only a handful of Kang Yul’s appearances in the past few matches.

Because of this, maybe even after she sortied, her results might not change at all.
The team was still shaking uneasy, the opponent would run amok, and the probability of ending badly was quite high.

‘Nevertheless, Kang Yul is a wall that must be overcome someday.’

Even while I was thinking about it, the game was leaning more and more.
The game, which started to break from the upper body, was pierced to such an extent that it was difficult to recover even in the second half.

So the first set ended unfortunately.
Mad Tiger Gaming, a veteran among veterans, could not slow down the twist once it was caught, and our team faced defeat after wielding it all day due to a series of excessive upper body plays and loss of initiative.

I didn’t count exactly, but Carrieman, who got about three solo kills and overpowered the top line, was the MVP of the first set.

‘I also showed a play that was like humiliation in the middle.’

Carrie Man was normally not a lively person, but she would be lively only for a moment.
The maniac for battle to the point of being burdensome, the stronger the opponent, the more aggressive he was, and he didn’t hesitate to insult him after winning.

Still, if it was Heo Suk-hee’s level, it seemed that he could be humiliated after winning.
There was no reaction at all in a game that wasn’t hot.

Just in time, a highlight scene was played on the monitor.
It was the figure of Carrieman standing on the corpse of Heo Sook-hee after getting a kill.

“…”

I glanced to the side and saw Kang Yul staring blankly at him.
It was a dry gaze that showed no special emotion, but there was no way she was happy that her younger brother, who was like her family, was humiliated.

I quietly encouraged her desire to compete next to her.

“I’ll get you the character you want.”

Kang Yul silently nodded her head.
