Chapter 428 – 428. World Championship Finals
The popularity of the 2055 Arena World Championship finals was truly incredible.
It has spread to the extent that it has become famous even in countries that are not normally interested in the game, so I started looking into the Arena World Championship at least once.
And the stories related to the competition that we learn.
The 2055 Arena World Championship had the most events and stories among all world championships, so people’s interest quickly arose.
In particular, the popularity of Battle Angels was increasing day by day.
A female team that has emerged like a comet in the existing male-dominated professional gamer market!
It was not an ordinary female team, but girls so attractive that it was surprising that they had come together.
It cannot be unpopular, regardless of gender and race.
Moreover, the scenario they built up from Korea’s third division is very dramatic.
The team members are clearly made up of low-level players.
A team of losers filled with girls who only drank sweet water and threw it away.
However, Battle Angels, who eventually advanced to the first division, took first place in ACK.
The challenge of Battle Angels, who can be called the minor among minors!
As the World Championship begins, their challenge blooms beautifully.
Battle Angels, who stood out in the Korean League, one of the major leagues, showed outstanding performance and advanced to the tournament stage, eventually reaching the finals.
And the 2055 World Championship finals are approaching.
Battle Angels showing Tintin Chimera and the Miracle Run, which have been brought up as legends.
It was no exaggeration to say that the success of the match between the two was guaranteed.
In fact, when the World Championship broadcast was broadcast, the number of viewers soared even though the game had not yet started.
The world championship held on the largest scale ever!
The huge stadium was already filled with people of many races, and in the center was a stage that was too large for a game.
This was where the finals would take place.
“Hello to all Arena fans around the world!”
And the side of the stadium.
At the broadcasting station where broadcasters from all over the world were gathered, there were also Korean broadcasters.
There was still an hour left from the scheduled game time, but even just analyzing the matchups on the eve of the match, it was easy to fill an hour for the finals.
As usual, commentators Song Si-yeol, Park Jin-woo, and Kim Nam-jin were present as commentators.
However, there was a special guest sitting at the end, which was Mad Tiger Gaming’s original damage player, Psychic.
“Today’s finals broadcast is specially with Mad Tiger Gaming’s Psychic! Hello, psychic player!”
“Yes. Hello. “I am Psychic, the ADC at Mad Tiger Gaming.”
Psychic, who was giving a guest commentary for the first time, spoke in a stern voice, causing a burst of laughter.
For a while, there were jokes about his commentary debut.
But what was really important was the story about the upcoming finals.
“You’ve waited a long time. Today has finally arrived! Battle Angels face off against Tintin Chimera!”
“You’ve waited a really long time. Somehow it feels like I waited longer than usual… “
Haha! The finals have been postponed by a week! Thanks to this, broadcasters from around the world were able to stay in China for an extra week.”
“If we hadn’t scheduled enough, we could have been in big trouble.”
Afterward, the broadcasters began analyzing both teams while looking at the indicators prepared in advance.
“Battle Angels can be said to be the queen of ACK, but honestly, the road to the finals was not easy. “Even in the semifinals, we defeated Crystal Snake!”
“That’s right. It was a really close match, and it wasn’t surprising if I lost, but I ended up winning. But if you look at it that way, Tintin Chimera also defeated Mad Tiger Gaming in the semifinals, right?”
The commentators glanced at the psychic player for no reason.
The Psychic player smiled awkwardly and nodded.
“Yes, but… Because we collapsed too easily… “
“But in the end, you chilled Tintin Chimera!”
Haha… “
“Neither team advanced to the finals by beating tough opponents, but it is true that Tintin Chimera’s performance is good.”
Several indicators appeared on the screen and then disappeared.
Starting with KDA and kill involvement rate, object acquisition rate, etc.
It was an indicator that could not help but laugh at Tintin Chimera, who won all games by a landslide, and what’s more, when the two were compared head-to-head, the difference was clearly revealed.
Anyone can see that the Battle Angels’ figures seem to be lacking more than Tintin Chimera.
“What… Indicators aren’t everything!”
“Of course! Battle Angels is a team that has created countless miracles so far!”
The commentators lifted the sagging mood with bright smiles.
Next, there is a comparison of the players of both teams and an analysis of the managers and coaches.
The analysis of the players was something that had been chewed and chewed and tasted in various media, so there were no special elements, but the analysis of the coaches was a little different.
“The coaches in Tintin Chimera feel more like trainers training players rather than strategists, right? In fact, there is a saying that in ban picks, players are just left to choose the character they want to play.”
“I think I can trust the Tintin Chimera players because they are that good. On the other hand, Battle Angels is led by a very famous manager and coach, right?”
“The heart of old Mad Tiger Gaming! “Do you all remember the first Arena World Championship?”
“How could I forget? Unfortunately, we finished as runners-up, but it was a competition we almost won before Arena became famous in Korea!”
“It was the bottom duo of Coach Battle and Coach Peace that went out to Mad Tiger Gaming at that time. “Now that those players have retired, and new history is being written by new players, I am so moved!”
“The two managers and coaches are truly creating a virtuous cycle in the professional gaming industry!”
Coach Battle, who trained the players from the time the Battle Angels were in the 3rd division and eventually brought them up to the 1st division.
And Coach Peace, who was his partner in the past, joined and presented various ban picks up to the World Championship.
These two characters played a very important role in the miraculous progress of the Battle Angels.
Kugung…
But suddenly, along with the loud sound of drums, the screen on the huge monitor in the center of the stadium began to change.
Before the actual final stage begins, various events will be held.
Kugung…
Once again, along with the sound of drums, the number 30 appeared on the screen.
The number soon begins to decrease one by one.
29, 28…
The commentators who were watching the scene from the side expressed admiration and expressed anticipation.
“First, a celebration stage is about to unfold. Let’s all shout together?!”
When the number decreased to 10 and finally dropped to 1, the arena official mark appeared on the screen.
Then, people on stage perform while majestically beating drums.
Anyway, people wearing oriental clothes and beating drums to the music.
Figures dressed like black ninjas also danced in the center of the stage.
Viewers watching the live broadcast reacted indifferently to the performance, which did not give much emotion.
[What is it? What is this fundamental traditional performance?]
[It looks like a mixture of all Eastern cultures. Are you stuck? Just start watching the game quickly.]
[Gathering this many viewers and showing them something like this?]
The performances held due to this difference did not receive much response.
It’s already dark time.
This time, a singer that all Koreans know appears.
“Oh! “This is veteran singer Yuai!”
“Wow, the arena paid a lot of attention!”
“Isn’t it very unusual for a Korean singer to appear in a match held in China?”
[Wow, scream!]
[The main stage has arrived. This is a performance.]
[I withdraw my swearing. You paid a lot of attention to the kids.]
The public’s sentiment is instantly divided!
After Yuai’s performance ended, the stage went dark once again.
Now it was so dark on stage that I couldn’t see an inch in front of me.
Lastly, the singer who sang the main theme song in 2055 appears.
[Kya…]
[The sound source and voice are the same. Maybe I sing it better.]
[This year’s opening stage scale has changed.]
And the highlight part of the song.
Along with the acting that fills the stage, 10 players from both teams appear.
Despite the magnificent sound of the music, the stadium is filled with cheers that echo.
Five male players from Tintin Chimera and five female players from Battle Angels.
Soon after the music ended, and the singer left the stage, only ten players remained on stage.
“Proud Korean players have appeared! You can also see Tintin Chimera players on the other side!”
“That was a really great scene!”
The host comes up on stage soon.
He said something in Chinese and started introducing the top players of Tintin Chimera.
“Asian monster! 1-1 record, undefeated! The living embodiment of nothingness! Homunculus!”
Homunculus comes to the center of the stage, bows, and heads to the capsule.
The top laner of Battle Angels is introduced next.
“A mad dog from Korea! A hunting dog that catches the hunter! GODOG!”
However, it was definitely a less impactful comment than when Homunculus was introduced.
The introduction continues.
“Leader of Tintin Chimera! The jungle god who dominates the game! Alien!”
“We solve the game through management! Wisdom!”
Introductory remarks from both teams that are still being compared!
The atmosphere at the scene was also louder when Tintin Chimera was introduced, so it seemed like Tintin Chimera was taking advantage of the home game.
