Chapter 386 – 386. World Championship Tournament Stage Round of 16 (6)

[Rosé’s asshole haha]
[It tastes like rosé pasta, right? Is it a restaurant?]
[Rosé… Find another job Still, if you live off your appearance, you won’t starve to death.]
[When is Rojé’s debut? Please do a 3-part sexy dance with Done reaction~]
[Uh-huh~ I didn’t get money from Roje-nim~ This is what I saw. Don’t be mean!]

If you were to pick the player who gets the most criticism in ACK, there was one player you couldn’t leave out.
It was Rosé, ETK’s one-dealer.

A look that anyone can turn around at least once with gorgeous blonde dyed hair.
In the professional gamer industry, where there are not many women, it was a style that was almost treated as a goddess.

However, thanks to that, anti-fans were also the most numerous among the players, and there were many cases of viciousness.
It was so serious that there was even such a joke in the community.

‘The only days Rosé doesn’t get hurt are holidays.’

Since all the young fans who write malicious comments are taken away by their parents on holidays, it meant that only on that day, Rosé’s swearing would not come up.

It wasn’t that Extreme Korea Telecom didn’t respond in any way to this situation that everyone acknowledged was wrong.
There was also an attempt to protect the player by suing a large number of malicious commenters just a year ago.

[To all the fans who love Extreme Korea Telecom,

Extreme Korea Telecom has been loved by fans since its foundation. Laughing, enjoying, crying, and getting angry together, the players, coaches, coaches, and staff were able to have a great time together. However, recently, incidents that hurt players, officials, and their families have occurred frequently. Therefore, we inform you that we will no longer respond with silence to the act of spreading unfounded rumors and accusations and threats beyond the limit.

In addition to a healthy esports cheering culture, it is revealed that we will take legal action even to protect the health and safety of our players.

We are working hard to actively communicate through our official social media account and club website, and we are infinitely grateful to the fans who always support and support us. We will continue to do our best to repay your support, and we ask for your anticipation and support.]

In the official statement, it was written that they would not hesitate to take legal action for the club and its officials, but everyone knew the truth.
Whoever sees it, it is the entrance door that sniped the bad guys of Rosé, who is getting cursed at two or three times compared to others.

After that, the community was buzzing with talk about the lawsuit for a while.

[I’m really being sued haha, are these Extreme Korea bastards crazy?]
[I brought something like this to my house, but did it get fucked up? What do you say to your parents?]
[Assholes hahaSo someone crosses the line haha ​​haha ​​yeah~ It’s okay if it’s not just me~~~~]
[I told Rosé to be good at moving, but I guess they didn’t think of moving themselves haha]
[Extreme Korea tried to get one Rosé, but their image got ruined~ Who will support the team that fans are suing?]
[The accused idiots clenched their teeth and were casting ETK Fucked haha. It’s a news agency, so are you going to boycott it?]

And whether the hardline response had any effect, the swearing toward the player disappeared for a while.
Of course, after a few months, it started to work again as if it was like when!

This year’s Extreme Korea Telecom barely managed to advance to the World Championship, but the swearing at them did not end.
Of course, it was the same even if they advanced to the round of 16.

[Yeah~ 2nd place on the group stage~ 2nd place is perfect for Extreme Korea~]
[It’s true that we didn’t get 2nd place haha]
[Why did you keep coming up because you’re going to get beaten up and fall down by the Battle Angels in the round of 16 anyway?]
[If Rosé isn’t released, there’s no way to come to the round of 16 again, so enjoy it a lot.]
[Rosé, when are you going to retire? How long will the team members suck blood!]

Bad comments about Extreme Korea Telecom continued today.

###

Rosé did not listen to any feedback.
His head seemed to be full of rumblings, and his mind floated as if he was looking at his body in third person.

‘Ah… Do not want to do it.’

Why are you continuing to be a progamer?
To be insulted?
If not, is it a high-end supporting role for other players to shine even more?

Even though he heard all sorts of swearing, he somehow managed to get to this point, but he didn’t seem to be able to hold on any longer.

‘I just have to play until this World Championship and then retire.’

Thinking so, Rosé raised her head and looked at her team’s coach.

“Coach.”
“Huh?”

Extreme Korea Telecom coach Beowulf looked at her.
He had a puzzled look on his face because he usually rarely asserted himself during the feedback phase.

“The next edition… Can you pick the pick I want?”

I will think of it as the last game of my professional gamer career and give it my all.
Did you notice her stern expression?
After thinking for a moment, Coach Bear Wolf nodded.

“Okay. Next time, let’s try it from the bottom.”

After the coach gave permission, Rosé quietly closed her eyes.
His fast-beating heart was slowly starting to sink.

The third set match has begun.

It was a best-of-five match, so it could have been the last match of the round of 16.

Hwang Ji-yeon looked at me with a very serious face.

[BA Peace: Let’s do a combination that will definitely end this time.]
[BA Battle: Yes.]

It was correct that it was important to conserve physical strength as much as possible because it was a multi-premise, but in this case, it was not to save physical strength for the match against Extreme Korea Telecom.
It was already under the assumption that this match had been won, and it meant to control fatigue for the next quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals.

The match against Extreme Korea Telecom wasn’t very difficult, but it was a World Championship Tournament match anyway.
The players must have been nervous more than necessary, and they would feel exhausted even after just three games.

If I could finish it in three rounds, I had to.
There was no need to take a long game.

[BA Battle: Let’s start with the opponent’s combination.]
[BA Peace: Yes.]

The series of victories forced us to play in the red camp again.
The first ban of the opponent who caught blue follows.

Ryu Seo-yoon’s Helios from the previous version must have been fierce.
Furthermore, since Helios is a character like soup that is located in the last tier character, it is good to cut and start with a question and answer dance.

[BA Battle: Let’s just prevent the game from getting longer.]
[BA Peace: Got it.]

At the end of the discussion, the first van we chose was the mid-Zeus.
Because the lines are organized quickly, you can never finish the game within 30 minutes if you make up your mind and hold on.

Extreme Korea continues to attack the bottom.
This time, he bans Artemis and once again removes one of Ryu Seo-yoon’s cards.

[BA Peace: I think you’re thinking of driving it to the bottom? I’m a little surprised.]

Extreme had a famous one-hander named Rosé, but he was not highly recognized for his skills.
In particular, at the World Championships, there were evaluations that he was weak on the big stage as he could not show a good performance every time.

[BA Battle: Maybe they’re trying to bring out a unique supporter. Let’s leave it for now.]

We still had two more bans available, so we decided not to be reckless.
The next character we cut off was Cerberus.
He is, of course, a character with good line clearing.

The opponent’s last ban was support Athena.
With this, I was able to come up with one character.

Consistently use ban cards on the bottom line to draw the AD they try to draw.

[BA Peace: I guess it’s the locust that Rosé uses well?]

Hwangchung was the character whose performance varied the most depending on the player’s proficiency within the arena.
First of all, it was a character capable of both close combat and long-distance dealing, but the main use was a bow, because if you adjust the angle and strength well, you can hit the enemy at a very long distance regardless of the terrain.

Because the pleasure of hitting a high-angle shot with a higher degree of difficulty than anything else is so great, some users sarcastically called it a locust with the word insect.
Of course, Rosé’s Hwangchung is known as a luxury product among professionals.

However, even though I understood the other person’s intentions, I had no intention of writing a ban card to them.

[BA Battle: I think it’s worth it, let’s release it and go.]
[BA Peace: Okay. Then I’ll ban Prometheus.]

Instead, we finished the ban phase by banning Prometheus, who is compatible with the sniper character Hwangchung.
If so, it seemed important to first draw a character from the bottom and induce them to pick Hwangchung quickly, and then design it so that they could draw a character worthy of counting.

Our opponent’s first pick was Top Surt.
It’s not a bad character to pick as a first pick because the lineup was so strong that there was no compatibility in the top lane.

We respond to it.

[BA Battle: Let’s draw from the bottom.]
[BA Peace: Yeah. Seo Yoon-ah, are you confident?]
[BA Ryu: Um… Hydra?]
[BA Battle: Not bad.]

Hydra, which had high stamina for a one-hander and was consistently in good form, appeared.
And right away, Hermes was chosen as a support to compensate for Hydra’s slow movement speed.

Picking the bottom composition first could have been a risky choice, but in this case it was a good enough decision.
It was because Extreme Korea took the expected character right after.

[BA Battle: It’s out.]

It was the one Dil Hwangchung and the supporter Demeter who could assist him.
Neither of them are strong tanking characters, so this decided the combination we had to play.

[BA Battle: Wisdom.]
[BA Wisdom: Yes.]

I said to jungler Lee Ji-hye.

[BA Battle: Can you destroy the opponent’s jungle?]
[BA Wisdom: How much does it break?]

She asked without hesitation.
It was a tone that seemed natural to be able to destroy it.

[BA Battle: Um… Enough to think about retirement?]
[BA Wisdom : Then I will retire all five today.]
[BA Luna : Kya… ‘Then I will retire all five of them today… ’ We’ll believe and go!]
[BA Wisdom: Don’t follow me… ]

The other players were also busy making fun of Lee Ji-hye, as if they weren’t nervous at all.
Anyway, it was a believable scene in many ways.

Then it was my turn to choose a character that would make the opponent’s last match without any regrets.
