Chapter 417 – 417. Crystal Snake (3)
There was a dead silence in the waiting room.
The match against Crystal Snake started with a pleasant victory in the first set.
However, in the second and third sets that followed, something that could only be described as the worst happened.
The players’ mistakes combined with the opponent’s outstanding skill resulted in a whopping two consecutive losses.
If we allow just one more loss, we will lose the game with three consecutive losses.
If that happens, our journey will end in the semifinals.
Crystal Snake, who beat us, will advance to the finals and face the winner between Mad Tiger Gaming and Tintin Chimera.
The winner of the World Championship, which arena fans around the world are interested in, will also emerge from among them.
‘It doesn’t work that way.’
There were still many ways to use the last one.
A typical method is to give a physical increase buff.
But I didn’t think it was time to write it yet.
‘Even when the buff was first used, the players thought it was strange.’
If you hand it out now that controversy over drugs has emerged, you can’t avoid looking at them with suspicion.
No matter how much the players unconditionally trust and follow me, I don’t want to do anything that could cause distrust.
‘I don’t know if I secretly feed it later.’
And the reason I didn’t want to use the buff was because I didn’t think the reason for the loss was the players’ lack of skill.
It was a game we could have won if we had focused a little more.
I called them over and looked at them one by one.
If things continued like this, I might be able to win the next set, but I might not be able to lift the championship cup.
It was a time when I needed something to awaken my concentration.
“Everyone must be very worried.”
So this time, I decided to tell you my more honest thoughts than anything else.
“If we lose the next game, our challenge this year will be over, and we will have to watch the other team win.”
“…”
The players nodded quietly.
“To be honest… I’m scared too. I am afraid that our dream-like challenge will end like this. Furthermore, I am afraid that we will remain as a mediocre championship contender, not a championship team.”
Maybe I had even more expectations because of the fuss I heard from people around me.
Just looking at the atmosphere, anyone could tell that we would win the Miracle Run.
As those expectations were shattered, I was further mentally damaged, which would have led to a decline in confidence and a breakdown in concentration.
During my first World Championship, I was very disappointed because I lost badly while feeling like I was going to win.
“But I believe that won’t happen. “My children would be able to overcome this level of hardship.”
That’s why I wanted to believe that my players wouldn’t go through that process.
Finally, I looked at the children and said.
“It may be a little selfish, but win for me.”
After hearing my last words, they slowly approached me.
And then he slowly started hugging me.
With all seven players gathered together, it was a bit suffocating, but it wasn’t uncomfortable because their feelings were conveyed.
A challenge that could possibly be the last.
The players fell with a determined expression.
And soon the fourth set began.
###
Battle Angels suffered two consecutive losses in the 2nd and 3rd sets.
Korean fans were shocked.
[It hits like a dog lol Battle Angels Cut!]
[There is a lot of difference in level? Crystal doesn’t make mistakes.]
[Ah, I’m nervous~ The final feels like the USA VS China, right?]
[Now you can’t even make fun of the 2nd division lol. Starting today, Korea is the 3rd division.]
[I think 4 sets would be just fine.]
The shocking fall of Battle Angels, which was at the center of anticipation and attention.
Since the score was already 1-2, the future was predictable.
A future is envisioned where the player ends the journey in the semifinals after losing up to 4 sets.
Thanks to this, fans began writing much higher quality posts than usual.
The Battle Angels, which were different from existing strong teams in every way, were the perfect target for criticism.
[Wow, female team class~ I told you not to use girls with no roots like this haha]
[Just create a unique resume and become a celebrity. Fooled for a day or two?]
[Director Joy Joe, did you believe them? Haha, since other teams can’t go, they stick together haha]
[I don’t like the director the most. In order to protect the female team concept, they insist on not accepting male players.]
[Fuck you bitches, did you go to China to open your crotches to these two bastards? I am afraid of heights, so I am only writing this much.]
Malicious comments about Battle Angels became more and more severe.
It was also because even the fans who still had hope until they lost the second set gradually gave up that hope.
Some fans who sincerely support Battle Angels gave up watching, saying they couldn’t watch it anymore.
[Ah… In the end, it happens like this. Since this is a new team, this is really amazing…]
[It’s really unfortunate. There will never be a team like Battle Angels again.]
[Maybe next year, the players will disperse. There will be a lot of offers from teams with better conditions than new teams.]
[In the end, Battle Angels will only remain as legends.]
[I think I have to see this far… I can’t watch it anymore ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
However, the next 4 sets.
Battle Angels players appear with a determined expression.
Just when people’s expectations began to build again thanks to her serious appearance and beautiful appearance, the 4th set ban picks began.
As in sets 2 and 3, Crystal Snake forms a strong ban pick focusing on tier characters.
However, Battle Angels also chose a power struggle structure centered on tier characters.
The fans who watched the scene felt a little puzzled.
From anyone’s perspective, Crystal Snake’s military power was extremely powerful.
Because they knew that, Battle Angels chose to fight for management rather than fight for power.
If they were to fight head on, Crystal Snake would win with 100 points, so the anxiety grew even more.
“The game is about to start. “This is a ban pick in which no one is particularly advantageous since both teams share good characters.”
“Until now, Battle Angels has tried many complicated and difficult things, but I think the idea is to go a little simpler for the 4th set. “I regained my original intention.”
“This may be the last game. “I hope the Battle Angels give us a little more strength!”
And then the game began.
Crystal Snake enters the jungle of Battle Angels with momentum to invade.
But surprisingly, the Battle Angels were waiting for their opponent within the jungle bush at the bottom, as if they were fully aware of their opponent’s intentions.
“The Battle Angels knew!”
“The combination of Crystal Snake is strong against Invade! But it’s a different story if your entire movements are discovered like this!”
And as planned, the two teams meet and a fierce battle breaks out.
Level 1 status with only one skill.
Although there were many characters in Crystal Snake that were strong at level 1, Battle Angels had an advantage in the fight by identifying the opponent first and attacking them intensively.
Crystal Snake’s supporter, who came in at the front, receives the most damage and dies in an instant.
The composition was 4 to 5, but the result was still unknown.
Perhaps the loss of the Battle Angels’ skills could have been more fatal than the loss of one person.
At that moment, the Minotaur chosen by GoldD, Crystal Snake’s top laner, caused an earthquake.
The earthquake caused by the minotaur in the form of a cow was a powerful CC that knocked down all nearby opposing characters.
However, at the same time, the Battle Angels scatter in all directions using blinking.
“Uh… !”
The narrator’s surprised voice was heard.
Since the two teams met in the bush, the distance was very short, but every one of them responded to Minotaur’s skills.
Although all five players lost their flashes, they had a very advantageous position in the teamfight that followed.
The Battle Angels attack Crystal Snake from all directions.
However, the targeting was accurate.
Crystal Snake’s mid laner was down, and the ADC was dead.
On the other hand, Crystal Snake, who was unable to properly kill a single player due to the aggro of each of the Battle Angels players scattered in all directions, had no choice but to run away late.
Top laner GoldD’s Minotaur was able to escape thanks to his strong body, but all other players suffered 1 death.
The score was 4-0 in the invade stage.
Although all the Battle Angels’ players lost their flashes, it was clear that once back at the base, the gap in items between the two teams widened considerably, giving them an advantage.
“You defended the invasion very well! Now the future is really important! Since there is no blinking, how can we get out of this crisis?!”
“The item came out better than Crystal Snake, so you can make a profit just by going mediocre! It’s a good start!”
“Uh?! Meanwhile, Luna was very aggressive and did a good job exchanging deals?!”
The commentator hoped to get through this critical moment smoothly, but the Battle Angels players thought a little differently.
In particular, mid laner Luna started with a whopping 2 kills in the invasion.
Thanks to this, there was an item that was one level higher than the opposing mid laner, which meant that he could have the upper hand in a power struggle.
Luna comes in big when Crystal Snake’s mid laner, Ruby, has not yet realized the difference in power.
Even in light exchanges, Ruby’s stamina was quickly reduced.
And at the level 2 timing, she traded deals again and got the kill.
“Lunaaaaa!!!”
“A level 2 solo kill has arrived! It’s so reassuring as expected!”
“I really appreciate it if you do this when the team is having a hard time! At this level, I guess we can say that American dramas have exploded?!”
That wasn’t the only crisis that came to Crystal Snake.
The gains that had been made little by little across the entire line were rolling in all at once.
Battle Angels, who had tried to compete through management until now, was showing signs of supremacy.
