Chapter 367 – 367. World Championship Group Stage (15)
In a professional game, it was virtually impossible to end the game within 10 minutes.
It was a difficult time to even eat 100 CS, let alone the 1st tower.
Nevertheless, in order for the game to end in the 10th minute, the only way to open the mid was to make the opponent lose their desire to play.
‘But there is a character who can make a 10-minute game that seems impossible in the arena.’
In order to finish the game extremely quickly, I had to use an extreme character.
[BA Peace: Let’s try Cyclops.]
Cyclops were titanic giants with one eye.
Since he is basically a giant, he has high physical strength.
And in addition to that.
[BA Peace: Let’s go to Uranus for the tower and Kronos for the jungle.]
It was the same with the titans that came to mind after that.
All characters have high health and are strong against melee attacks.
Like this, Titan was a character who had no choice but to be beaten because he was so big that he hit many people, but when three or more Titans gathered, a little special effect was activated.
This characteristic, called ‘Titanomachia’, increases the physical strength and physical strength regeneration of the Titans.
Titan was a character who was quite good at destroying towers in the arena, but with this effect, it really felt like a siege unit.
Once the ban picks started, Battle Angels focused on banning mid-lane characters.
I was paying attention to that side to push the mid-lane quickly, but Cyber Akuma, who judged the intention to be a power struggle in the mid-lane, started banning mid-lane characters in the same way.
It meant cutting each other’s limbs off and starting.
But that judgment turned out to be the worst.
The Battle Angels, who intend to play the Titans who would not give it to them anyway.
If Cyber Akuma cuts out a mid character to play on its own, it couldn’t be better.
After the ban was over and it was time to pick characters, the Battle Angels used a deceptive tactic by picking a seemingly normal bot duo.
Then, Cyber Akuma thought it was right and chose a character first in the middle.
Among the remaining mid-length characters, I took the nine-tailed fox, one of the major picks.
As an assassin based on spell power, if you stack well, your power will not drop even in the late game.
The Battle Angels, who had been hiding their true feelings until the end, took out the titan from the third pick.
The first to appear were Top Uranus and Jungle Cronus.
The moment the two titans appeared, perhaps even Cyber Akuma realized the Battle Angels’ intentions.
In the meantime, Hwang Ji-yeon briefed them on how to operate the siege union.
[BA Peace: You have to quickly destroy the mid early. And when the laning battle is over, dive to the point where you think it’s too much and push it away.]
[BA Ryu: Yes~]
[BA GODOG: Yuna unnie needs to cheer up.]
[BA Wisdom: Mids have to be destroyed before I go.]
[BA Luna: It’s a bit burdensome… ?]
She was a weak-spoken Han Yuna, but her eyes were full of eagerness to show her something.
In Battle Angels, Heo Sook-hee was the most respected player, but below that, she pretended not to be and spied on her social media every day.
She was a genuine internet revenant who forgot to sleep and roamed the community on any day when she thought she was super playful.
Finally, when the Battle Angels picked up the mid-Cyclops, the game was ready to start.
[BA Peace: Finish in 10 minutes.]
Hwang Ji-yeon said firmly.
She was like her iron rule, but she didn’t use words like ‘play with no regrets’ or ‘play comfortably because you can lose’ for fear that the players would feel pressured.
Rather, she feels a lot of pressure and has to be pressured to win unconditionally, but she can go up.
She thought the professional world was such a place.
After the girls answered with confident expressions, they waited earnestly for the game to begin.
###
Bang Bang, a Taiwan Esports supporter, looked at his monitor with cold eyes.
He was usually the kind of guy who doesn’t watch other teams’ games, but he remembered the last match against the Battle Angels and he couldn’t help but watch them.
‘Dogs. I’ll make sure to crush it this time so that you don’t mess with it again.’
Known as a psycho both in the mainland and abroad, he has never been intimidated even while dealing with countless players.
However, the last match against Battle Angels honestly felt a little wally.
I feel like I can’t break it no matter how hard I try.
I wanted to somehow find the opponent’s weakness through monitoring this time.
‘Let’s see what he does this time.’
However, it was only after the titans appeared that he felt something strange.
“What the hell is this all about?”
Does the contest look like a joke?
That was my first thought.
How will you respond to the opponent’s kiting if you pick three titans who are big and clumsy?
At least, it was designed so that he could rub it while selecting Hermes as a supporter, but the picture drawn in his head right now was to die in vain after playing hide and seek all day.
After all the ban picks were over, I felt a sense of regret.
‘It’s a shame. I should have been on the opposing team.’
Bang Bang licked his lips and squeezed his hand tightly.
If he had been there, he would have punished the Battle Angels for taking an easy combination!
I thought that only Cyber Akuma was very tight.
That’s because I took one of the kongseung.
Soon after, the game started.
Players from both teams hurriedly enter the opposing jungle.
Cyber Akuma was to reduce the initial variable by putting wards in the jungle of the Battle Angels, and the Battle Angels seemed to be thinking about getting a kill first.
Although he was a big-bodied titan, his basic stats were pretty good, so he showed considerable strength in a level 1 invade fight with only one skill.
Players of Cyber Akuma return to their base from the jungle of Battle Angels and enter their own jungle.
It was then that he contacted the players of the Battle Angels, who had been hiding in the bush all day.
‘Ehh, assholes.’
Bang Bang clicked his tongue and shook his head.
It was a mistake that he wasn’t careful when entering the friendly jungle, even though he put his wards into the opponent’s jungle.
Of course, the strategy of hiding and waiting in the buff sentinel camp and distant bushes by twisting the opponent’s psychology was good.
‘To miss such a good opportunity… ‘
As he thought, Cyber Akuma was properly defeated by the Battle Angels who chose a combination that was like a gamble.
And the price to return for that was quite horrendous.
After winning First Blood, the Battle Angels began to roam the opponent’s formation like fearless puppies.
###
When Battle Angels picked the titans, even the Korean commentators were speechless.
“Uh uh… It’s a great gambler, isn’t it?”
“It’s a decision you can’t make unless you’re a real Battle Angels. If you look at the matches they’ve played so far, you can see that they’ve played a lot of different combinations. This time, it shows a new attempt.”
“Choosing three Titans means that we are aiming for Titanomachy. Honestly, it’s a combination I don’t choose because I have more weaknesses than I gain.”
Maybe the Battle Angels were caught off guard and suffered their first defeat.
They thought so
And it was the same for the fans who were watching the broadcast in Korea.
[No fuck… Don’t do anything weird, just do what you’re good at… ]
[Originally, Battle Angels was a team that did strange things?]
[It’s an opponent who can win with just a combination of soup and rice. Who is the director who directed this?]
[You are so careless. Are you testing how far you have to be vigilant to win?]
Fans full of dissatisfaction with the ominous combination!
With the exception of the Battle Angels, other Korean teams were not able to use their strength in international battles, so I felt even more nervous.
It was the invasion situation in the beginning that relieved the ignorance of such fans and broadcasters.
Cyber Akuma’s jungler who wants to start in the friendly jungle after quickly warding the opponent’s formation.
However, in Battle Angels, they hid in the bush until the end and raided the scene where they were trying to eat the buff sentinels.
[First take place]
Along with a pleasant first-run alarm, even buffs are handed over to Wisdom players.
In the early invasion situation, the jungler being deprived of buffs and even getting a kill was the worst, hard to find a worse situation than this.
Not only could I not receive the leash again, but I couldn’t even get to the 2nd level and the buff was taken away.
If this was the case, it would have been considered that there was no ganking until at least level 6.
[Yeah, Battle Angels!!! I believed it!!!!]
[I was hiding in the bush on the subject of being a titan, but they let me do this haha]
[Uh? Isn’t it serious? I can’t even breathe in the line… This… Akuma?]
[Fuck haha]
The bad news of Cyber Akuma did not end there.
In the ensuing line war, endless pain began, as if being punished by Sisyphus.
Although it is obviously a composition that is quite worth playing in line battles, as time goes by, the entire line starts to fall behind.
Then, after a few more minutes, the approaching creeps became terrifying.
When I went out of the tower to eat CS, the deal exchange came in without fail, and I was beaten and kicked out.
[Wow fuck haha this is just not compatible?]
[Is there such a difference in skill? DD Battle Angels form is just crazy… ]
[Cyber Akuma can’t even breathe hahaBeing purified like a dog by the angels haha]
[Change your name to Cyber Angels starting today.]
Thanks to that scene, a festival broke out among Korean fans.
How many humiliating days have you gone through in the past year, giving up the No. 1 spot to China?
If there was a team that showed such overwhelming performance, it seemed that they could finally reclaim the throne.
The game reached its climax when Han Yuna got a solo kill in the mid lane.
[Shout out loud]
[Just King God Luna… It’s confirmed as my bridesmaid… ]
[Cyber Akuma Visa aaaaa. The 1st turret is slowly melting down!]
[Titan has a fast siege speed hahaNo, did you come from a service company? Lol]
[If you want to do business here, pay taxes haha]
Because the whole line was painful, it was not easy to come to help the mids anywhere.
Even on the top line, where the match was favorable to Cyber Akuma, God Dog had no choice but to give up the initiative thanks to his pure physical power.
The first mid tower dive took place at level 4.
Usually, if you dive before reaching level 6, it was when you thought that if the opponent took an ultimate, it would be difficult to kill anymore, or in a situation where you had to kill it somehow to stop growing or benefit.
However, the intention now was completely different.
Even though it didn’t matter at all if they grew up slowly, it was only to get kills quickly and put pressure on the opponent.
The Battle Angels, with their jungler and support attached, ate up the mid laners in an instant.
On the way, support player White was beaten by Cyber Akuma’s jungler and support who rushed to support, but the intended goal was fully achieved.
After going home and returning by teleport, Luna was incredibly strong.
Starting with the 1 kill I ate in the jungle, I have already picked up 3 kills and barely missed CS.
Natte, Cyber Akuma’s mid laner, appeared in front of her as she quickly pushed the line.
Luna, who approached by lightly avoiding the CC plane fired by the nine-tailed fox with moving ice, stretched out her fist once, and Natte’s blood dripped so quickly that she could see it.
‘Fucked… ‘
The difference in growth has widened at a time when the word “Growth difference” Shouldn’t have appeared.
Looking like he would lose the game in a really ugly way if he gave up any more kills, he ran away and hid inside the 1st tower.
However, when even the Wisdom player in the jungle came to support and threatened to dive, he was inevitably pushed to the 2nd turret.
“Uh uh… The 1st mid game is now collapsing?!”
“Is this too fast?! Mid has completely exploded!”
“Battle Angels… Battle Angels are coming… No, this team is crazy?! What about your own line, everyone come up together?!”
Then, when the first round of the midfield collapsed, the Battle Angels players stopped laning and slowly began to rise to the midfield.
Fans who watched the scene had no choice but to think the same thing.
Something was going on.
