Chapter 284 – 284. Soul Duo (6)

“What, is there anything wrong?”

Any building in the United States.

It was very hectic to just look at the large messy room.

A woman in between.
With gray hair and a ferocious expression, she was looking at a huge monitor with a mocking expression on her face.

In the monitor, a Korean Arena Division 1 game was playing for a while.

“What do you think about it? Will you be an opponent to us like that?”

Beneath her was a large man lying flat on the floor.
It was her father, chairman Kim Yong-dae.

He muttered blankly with an expressionless face.

“I think the Crystal Snake will win.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Whoa… What do I expect from you?”

She tangles her white hair and casts her gaze back at her monitor.
Somehow, the Battle Angels took the first set and took the victory.

Krystal stood up from her seat with a hearty smile.

“Time is precious. I watched it live because there was not much time left before 1st place in the first division.”

It was Crystal Snake, who had just taken over the US 1st division club this year and competed, but its momentum was no different from the existing strong teams.

From her point of view, the Battle Angels, who have slowly risen from the 3rd division and are fighting a sweaty match with the 5th-ranked team, are not something to be checked.

“I’ll be up until the World Championships, but I don’t know after that.”

Krystal wants to leave with a light heart.

However, just as the second set started, a man appeared on the monitor.

“Hmm… “

It was Battle, her half-brother and the manager of the Battle Angels.

Even though the team was in crisis, he was concentrating on the ban pick with a faint smile on his face.

She grinned, raising the corners of her mouth.

“The game is for the players. No matter how much you put your heads together to strategize… “

Looking at the first set, the Battle Angels players were already broken-hearted.
In this situation, no matter how much the manager and coach struggle, can the atmosphere be reversed?

“At most, I’ll have to drag it into the second half like the first set and aim for a one-shot turnaround.”

Everyone had to hope that Ice, the supporter, would make a mistake rather than Fire, the Bronze’s one-hander.

When she had an optimistic attitude in her heart, her bans and picks started.

All of the blue formations, the bronzes’ bans were the same as in the first set.
It was said that he would cut out strong laning players who could hit mid and top, and openly start a one-deal bus.

“So what are you going to do?”

Krystal looks at the battle in the monitor with an interesting face.

Battle Angels’ confidence in ban-pick continues.
The next character to be banned was Tinkerbell.

“It’s a scary character if you’re attached to a one-hander.”

The Blonds’ van was nowhere to be seen.
Just because I was busy banning the assassin character.

The second ban in Battle Angels is still directed towards characters that increase retention.

Krystal, who had been in the arena for less than a year, tilted her head for a moment because she did not know his intentions.

“What, what does it mean to ban a healer?”

Then she could tell by looking at Bronze’s van the next time.
The combination that the manager of Battle Angels planned!

“Was it poke?”

It was only then that I realized what angle I was looking at.

The ice player’s super save in the first set.
And the character pool of Fire players focused on orthodox AD.
Finally, even the team members who decided to ride the one-deal bus.

In order to break all these plans, a poking combination in which each person’s evasion ability was a counter was appropriate.

Krystal changed her thoughts on leaving him.
It was because he wanted to see to the end whether the guy’s idea was right.

“Do you think you can make up for your lack of physical skills with strategies?”

After that, as expected, the ban picks are headed for a poking combination versus a one-deal raising combination.

Pole forking combinations have all sorts of downsides, such as lack of initiation and lack of tanks.

There were no tanks to stand in the front line or characters to respond to attacks instead, so if you made a mistake at first glance, there were many cases where you could not do a proper poke and melted in reverse.

However, Battle Angels filled their roster with characters with long range without hesitation.

“Ohh.”

And the last character to take the pinnacle of Fire Dragon was supporter Hermes.
It meant that we would never give a team shot by maintaining a sword-like distance with an increase in movement speed.

“It sounds good in theory… You know everyone has a plan until they get hit, right?”

Before anyone knew it, Krystal was immersed in the game and was staring at the monitor.

Due to the nature of AOS games, there were many people who quit the game due to the excessive stress they received while playing, but among them, there were people who watched the league closely.

Esports was as fun to watch as it was fun to play.

###

Battle Angels pole poking combination.

The commentators and casters cheered but couldn’t help but express their concerns.

“At this level, everyone’s body is so weak that even a small angle of entry would melt them away.”
“In addition, the proportion of AP is too high, right? In the second half, the defense items are well equipped, so the deal may not be as much as expected!”

A fight that must end at least before halfway through.
Even so, I didn’t think I would lose because I believed in the players.

“It’s a combination with a high level of difficulty because you have to do it slowly and finish quickly without getting excited, but it should work well enough since you destroyed the opponent’s retention through the ban pick.”

Hwang Ji-yeon sat down with a confident expression.

I also sat next to her and watched the second set begin.

First of all, if you look at the compatibility of the laning battle, the laning battle of the poking character wasn’t too bad.

First of all, the range was long, so it was good to keep the opponent in check, and the existence of the tower compensated for the weak point in the open area.

However, if you get hit by a destructive melee character or ganking even once, it just went downhill after that.
Basically, you have to grow bigger than your opponent, but since the poke damage comes out meaningfully, if you lose in growth, you won’t be able to use the strengths of the combination.

However, in this game, at least there was no need to worry about laning.
It was because most of the opposing laners were utility-type characters.

There were many characters who gave up even the ability to detect attack, defense, and initiation only for the sake of carrying friendly characters.
Their downside was that they were weak in laning battles, so it was best to stay silent behind the tower, let alone exchange deals.

In the beginning, as expected, it goes to our team’s advantage.

It was painful to push the opposing laners one line, one line, and the jungle was already occupied, and the objects were also monopolized.

However, as in the first set, only one fire player was raising gold and jade.

“We lost the first set unfortunately, but it is true that we almost caught the Battle Angels. This time, the fire player has to do it. Right now, all Blonds are raising only one Fire player by selling cows, selling pigs, and pulling up the roots of pillars in the house!!”
“Because everyone in the family is enduring the laning war while looking at only one Fire player? Fire player must succeed unconditionally!! Either that or you’re ruined!”

All of a sudden, the commentator and the caster were creating a story in which the Blonds, who are all lowly people, succeed against the conglomerate Battle Angels, dreaming of reversing their lives by somehow succeeding in the smartest fire player in the house.

How immersed he was, he spat out all his saliva and shouted loudly whenever an incident occurred.

“Ahh!! Got this right again! In this case, we must go home!”
“When did the mid-tower health decrease like this?! I will break it on the next line!”
“The tyranny of large corporations is too severe! If we wipe out the jungle monsters like this, what will the common people eat!”

The Battle Angels, who are all ready to dry up and kill the Blonds, sweep up the money.
Somehow, the gap was wider than in the first set.

Will the sister bot duo be able to reverse this unfavorable situation!

Now that all the strange expectations are focused on the blondes, the fire and ice duo rushed at Ryu Seo-yoon and Baek Ha-yan.

It was the timing that we had to go home as both sides were running out of stamina after half-and-half laning.

White Hermes’ movement speed increase skill used just in time.

Thanks to this, when Ryu Seo-yoon properly avoided the ice player’s initiation, it was the ice player who fell into danger because his body was rather focused.

Opponent duo fall behind with one mind and one will.
It was an angle where you could see the kill if you chased it.

However, Ryu Seo-yoon and Baek Ha-yan also kept the line with one heart and one mind, and did not play excessively.

All of them were the jungle of the Blonds, who had little impact throughout the game, but this time they were digging carefully in the bottom bush.

If he had entered excitedly, he would not have been able to avoid the counterattack.

“It’s an animal sense! Did you notice that Winner is hiding in the bush?”
“When the time for poking comes after the laning match, you can win as much as you like, so I think it might be the idea not to give it a chance!”
“Everyone is as close to the Battle Angels duo as the Blonds’ bot duo! By the way, I didn’t see any gains from the bottom, what should I do?! The opponent has already pushed most of the top and mid towers!!”

Afterwards, everyone who wanted to watch with all their might, as the Bronze’s top and mid turrets were pushed back, the line battle was forcibly ended and a confrontation and management fight began.
The players gathered in front of the object, all of whom were openly thinking about teamfighting, slowly broke through the field of view and moved forward.

It was then.
Something flew from far away from beyond the wall and pierced the midfielder Marvel.

“Bang!! Forking deals are no joke now!”
“You gave away two turrets and gave the first Buddha and even Maria! It’s strange that the deal doesn’t stick with this much item difference!”

Only then do you feel a little more at ease.
The strategy he had conceived with Hwang Ji-yeon and his head matched exactly.

All of Blonds’ strength stems from their teamwork, where their hands and feet fit together even in fleeting situations.
However, their ranking without an ice player is 5th in the league.
In the end, it was said that basic physical and operational skills were far below our team.

If so, there is no need to save their strength, teamwork.
Rather, we chose an extreme forking combination to maximize our advantage of being physically good.

Bang!!

Another in-game situation with the sound of something exploding.
Looking at the stamina bars of the bronze players, it was almost impossible to find any players in good shape.

At this point, they have no choice but to make one of two decisions.

Either eat the object before getting hit by more poking, or run away!

Their choice was the latter.

All the blondes who run away with their tails falling out!

“I’m falling for now! Object fights are impossible because even one or two more hits will kill you!”
“You have to be careful when you run away! Poking is not over yet!”

And Ryu Seo-yoon’s Helios skill hits the back of their heads.
It was a solar arrow shot high in the sky.

Falling Marvel players.

“Ryu!!”
“Now I really have to run away!! How can I break through that poking hell?!”
“The gap is too big if we give up this, but there is nothing we can do about it! If we fight now, it’s obvious that we’ll be annihilated!”
“The poke hit rate is insane!! How do you win if you hit all the cooldowns?! Battle Angels!!”

Our team then takes the Buddha.
After I went to the base once, the difference between the two teams’ temps was indescribably wide.

It seemed that there was no longer a case where everyone could win.
