Chapter 334 – 334. Did You Lose Again? (2)

The long awaited ACK summer season has begun.
Along with our team’s popularity, the popularity of the Arena League has also increased, so the ACK League has also enjoyed an unprecedented boom.

“Everyone has been waiting for a long time! The ACK League is finally back!”

Thanks to this, a large number of spectators flocked to the event from the opening day.
Broadcasting rights were sold well, and there was no shortage of sponsors.

According to rumors, the number of participating clubs will increase to more than 10 from next year.
It was a virtuous cycle in which the scale of the tournament, including the size of the prize money, increased that much, and the popularity also increased again.

In the meantime, it was the Battle Angels match that once again drove the popularity of the Summer League.

“Battle Angels! As soon as the summer league starts, they record an overwhelming performance in the first game!”
“Now who’s to say that the Battle Angels aren’t a strong team?!”
“It was a 2-0 game. It’s neat!”

The Battle Angels achieved a clean first victory report against the Sejong Avengers.
Since then, while building a winning streak, they lightly hit the lead and come out.

And not much different from the spring league, Mad Tiger Gaming and Extreme Korea Telecom followed suit.

###

When the ACK Summer League started, we went crazy again.
Continued scrim matches, external schedules, and games that return every day.

Even in the off-season, I was busy running solo lang, but with the competition season just around the corner, I couldn’t even rest to my heart’s content.
Nevertheless, I was just grateful to the girls who followed me without much complaint.

“After this game, I need to take a short break.”

Heading to her arena, talking to Hwangbo Jiyeon, she nodded her head as well.

“I’ve been working hard for the past few days, so it’s going to be okay.”

After the summer season is over, it becomes even more difficult to rest because there is a very high probability of preparing for the World Championship.
There was a high probability that this vacation would be the last one before the Worlds.

“Instead, you have to do better than usual today.”

The reason was the opponent to face.
Because it was WM Winners with a master coach!

‘If it was a normal game, I wouldn’t have to be more nervous than usual.’

I had a bet with the master coach.

A bet that he would win with a difference of more than twice the kill score.

That’s why today’s match should not end with simply winning.
You have to press it with an overwhelming difference and make it feel like the class difference is muddy.

“Now! Then, shall we go after a long time?”

When I got out of the car and arrived at the waiting room inside the stadium, the girls gathered in a pile.
It was to fight for my words that today I have to play harder than usual.

“Is everyone gathered? Then let’s go.”

Under the leadership of Kang Yul, the girls gather in a circle and put their hands together, raising their hands to the sky with a short spear.

“Battle Angels!”
“Ascension Heaven!”

The lively shouts of the girls echo through the waiting room.
It was a sight that made me smile without knowing.

“Wow… What was that lively slogan you just said? Me too… I want to do it too…”

As I watched the girls lively, I heard a calm voice next to me.
When I turned my gaze, Hwangbo Ji-yeon, with unusually bright eyes, stood up from her seat.

I smiled.

“Arthur. The kids are playing.”
“Huh. Kang Yul-ssi is the same age as me?”
“…”

Come to think of it, yes.
I suddenly realized that I, Kang Yul, and coach Hwangbo were the same age.

“I completely forgot.”
“…”

At that, I could feel her glaring at me with her terrifying eyes, but she tried to ignore it.

After waiting in the waiting room for a while, the staff gives a signal to come up to the stadium.

We headed to the stage with strong steps.

As the girls step onto the stage, thunderous cheers erupt.
Is this the taste of success?

Even at the moment when you are thinking about something unkind, the staff guides you to the capsule.
Looking the other way, the master coach was giving instructions to the WM Winners players with a serious face.

“Battle Angels, let the game begin. Please enter the capsule.”
“Yes.”

Soon after, the opposing team or our team entered the capsule and prepared for the game.

In this game, I have to win by a big margin, but I had no intention of going safely like a jerk.
Rather, it will be a combination of dehydrators that dry and kill opponents with tight management that does not tolerate even a single mistake.

[BA Peace: Top is a soup character that is strong against split pushes. For the jungle, choose a dealing jungle character that is strong against ganking.]

It was after we made a plan like that and used the van card.
It seems that the opponent also had a prepared combination, and it gradually begins to show its teeth.

[BA Battle: Are you thinking of locking up and not coming out?]
[BA Peace: You seem to be aiming for the 16th level of the phoenix?]

As soon as she finished speaking, a phoenix appeared on the opponent’s pick window.
The phoenix, also called Phoenix, was one of the royal ghost-type characters.

Among them, the ultimate and passive are fraudulent, so it is known that no one can stop it if the timing comes to level 16, when the level 3 ultimate is taken.
Of course, that was an exaggeration to some extent, and in reality, even if you took a 3rd level ultimate, you could have experienced defeat if you made a mistake.

Anyway, there was no change to the fact that he was a royal character.

We noticed our opponent’s intentions, but we couldn’t change it because we had already decided to snowball combinations with early gains.

It was more comfortable to choose an extreme early-type combination and break through rather than to bring out the same late-stage-oriented combination.

[BA Battle: I need to pick an assassin in the mid.]
[BA Peace: Yes. Then should I play Freya?]
[BA Battle: Okay.]

When Han Yuna was given an assassin character, the opponent responded by creating a character that could protect the phoenix.
Lastly, we finished our ban pick by picking Helios-Gabriel, who has strong laning skills, from the bot lane.

Soon after, the game started.

WM Winners, who planned the phoenix level 16 shooting operation, led the line war with a defensive attitude.
I’m trying to pass the time somehow by handing over all the early objects.

Of course, it was up to our players to break through the space defense.

Fortunately, the girls were quite used to knocking out opponents who were holding out.

Tower dives, enemy jungle control, object fishing, line freezing, and more.
If the opponent shows their face even a little, they press down as if they will not forgive them.
As a result, even after time passed, the growth of the Phoenix was only slow.

The kill score until all the primary towers are pushed is 7 to 0!

At this point, no matter how much they wait for the phoenix, the gap has widened before that.

Like a swarm of locusts, the Battle Angels players sweep everywhere.

In particular, Freyja, who was handled by Han Yuna in the mid-game, was slicing through the entire map as if it were her own house, slicing up every enemy character she could see.

“Waaaaa!!!”

Han Yuna, who was very good at killing CS and killing, succeeded in assassinating one person in a 3-on-1 situation, and the moment she caught all three, the stadium was filled with shouts.
But her play isn’t over yet.

Baek Ha-yan tied up the remaining two members of the WM Winners who came to help the team members, and Freya, who quickly flew in, succeeded in assassinating them as well.

‘Can’t it be called assassination in this case?’

I wondered what kind of assassination it was to kill openly, but in the end, since there were no witnesses, wouldn’t it be an assassination?

At some point, the phoenix reached level 11 and took the ultimate level 2, but it was of no use.
The guy’s carry ability was after taking the 3rd level of the ultimate skill.

Since then, as the damage of Phoenix’s ultimate skill, ‘Fire Zone’, has risen ridiculously, the passive ‘Resurrection’ also has meaning.

Flame Zone is a continuous wide-area dealing skill that literally burns the surrounding terrain and inflicts strong magic damage.
Resurrection is when a phoenix dies and is reborn from the place of death after a short waiting period.

When these two things are combined, they have monstrous one-hit power due to the flame zone that is maintained even after death.

‘Of course, it’s a story when things go according to plan.’

The game is over before the phoenix blooms.

The voices of commentators and casters resonated throughout the arena.

“GG~!!”

The kill score was 11-0, a perfect game.

After winning the first set by a wide margin, the second set went smoothly.
WM Winners announced that they would hold out until the second half with a similar strategy.
However, it was a meaningless defiance in the face of overwhelming force.

“The gap in the second set is huge too?!”
“This… It looks worse than the 1st set! I don’t think I can survive until the second half of the year!”
“Another teamfight defeat! What choice should WM Winners make to overcome this situation?!”
“If you’ve come this far, all you can do now is hope that Battle Angels will make a mistake. Unfortunately, the situation that can be reversed on its own has already passed!”

With commentary full of joy, WM Winners’ core explodes for the second time.
