Chapter 88 – 88. Promotion Match (1)

Defeat.

Words that are still bitter to accept.
In addition, in the promotion match, if you lost the game because of your own mistakes, the guilt was indescribable.

“……”

And, as expected, the atmosphere in the players’ waiting room after returning from all games was also to the point where there was no place to sink.

‘Breathe… I can’t rest.’

Her teammates didn’t say anything, but her every word of her was replaced by her eyes her looking at her from time to time.

‘I lost because of you.’
‘They forced me to practice like that normally… Ji is the worst.’
‘I don’t think I have to team up with that guy again next season, right?’

Those silent words made Neto suffer.
In the end, she ended up crying quietly.

“Everybody did a good job. Don’t think deeply about what happened today… Uh? Neto, are you crying?”
“Oh, no.”

She hurriedly shook her hand, but her teammates had already seen her tears.

“… I’ll go to the bathroom for a minute.”
“That, yes. I’ll be waiting for you, come slowly.”

She ran out of the waiting room and took a moment to catch her breath.
Could it be that she’s mistaken that she’s completely gone?
Or is it because it doesn’t matter?

I could hear the conversation of the team members behind my back.

“Ji is the worst and is crying.”
“So, to be honest, at the end of the day, if he did a little better, he would have won.”
“… Don’t be too hard on yourself. Because she is a woman, it is inevitable that she has less physical strength than a man.”

‘Fucking bastards… ‘

Neto swears softly and runs to the bathroom.
She was usually the kind of woman who would take back her nonchalantly even if he heard her gossip, but this time she was different.

‘This time… Because my mistake is right.’

Meetings began to come into my life as a pro gamer.

Gone are the days when neither she nor she could now be called a rookie.
Some people use the first division as their stage from their debut and get nicknames like monster rookies, so why do they have to live the life of an extra?
And if the main stage of the novel is the 1st league, then she, who is staying in the 3rd league, will be an extra who will disappear without being mentioned.

‘What am I going to do now?’

Even when she fell from the second division, she knew there would be no more bottom.
But I never thought I’d fall out of the promotion match and stay in the 3rd division…

‘It must be difficult for me to stay on the team… ‘

Rather, it might have been better to leave the team if it remained in the 3rd division.
That was, of course, if they found her team to hire her.

“Black… “

She went into the toilet seat and squatted down.

Due to the nature of her job her as a pro gamer, no matter how good she is at games and the potential for growth, if there is no team to find her, she will be retired.

But at that moment, a team passed through her head.

“Battle Angels…”

Coincidentally, the next match was the Battle Angels promotion match.

She left a text message to the head coach of the Neo-Trance team saying that she would return to her practice room separately, then turned on her cell phone.

“Hello! Greetings to the second match of the promotion match!”

Thinking about reality any longer will only stress you out.
She blankly focused on her phone screen her.

“Lee Ji-hye, take off your panties.”
“……”

I whispered in her ear and turned around with a puzzled look.
However, she immediately takes off her panties without asking why.

“…Where are you going to use it?”
“What are you going to use your panties for?”

I threw her panties that I had given her into her trash can that was around her.
Then her expression changed even more.

“… What is it?”
“You take your pants off and play games.”
“……”

Juseom Juseom Lee Ji-hye glances at me as she pulls down her own skirt.
But she couldn’t pick up and put on the panties she had already thrown into her trash can.

“Battle Angels players! You can come out!”

Just in time, the staff even starts urging them.
Lee Ji-hye had no choice but to go up to the stadium wearing no panties.

The reason for taking off Lee Ji-hye’s panties was simple.
To activate her shame imprint her.

Could there be anything more shameful than playing in front of a large audience with no panties on?

‘Next, I have to pay attention to the white engraving.’

She bowed briefly to the audience before she entered the capsule.
I also had to wait in-game for a ban pick.

[BA Battle: white white.]
[BA White: What?]
[BA Battle: Always remember. If you can’t, our team will be ruined.]
[BA White: I see!]

It wasn’t easy to bring out guilt in a short period of time, so I didn’t feel as deep of guilt as I thought, but I decided to be satisfied with this for now.

I haven’t even played the first set yet.
It was necessary to adjust the tempo because excessive selling could lower the stamina.

And not long after, the long-awaited ban-pick began.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this day.
I came up with the best strategy I can think of by analyzing the information that Jihye Lee stole from her opponent jungler, Rust, and the matches the original scene has played so far.

In the first set, our team was the blue formation.
In other words, bans and picks go first.

[BA Carrywoman: Coach. What can I do with the van?]
[BA Battle: Uriel first.]

First of all, the first character to be banned is Uriel, a mage-type mid character.
For Yuna Han, who can only play defensive characters, she killed a character that is considered strong in the current meta.

The first ban in the original scene is, of course, Artemis.
It wasn’t a meta character, but it’s like Ryu Seo-yoon’s signature pick, so it’s probably easier to use a ban card.

Then I banned the rest of the meta characters, the ones called OP, in turn.
However, one-deal characters were excluded.

The bottom line was our team’s strongest line.
No matter which character came, I was confident that I wouldn’t be pushed back in the laning match, and rather, I was on the side of wishing for that.

Being strong against the laning in the early game usually means that the value goes down in the second half.

[BA Battle: Our first pick is mid-Hyunmu.]

After all the bans were over and it was my turn to pick, I took the Hyunmu that hadn’t been banned.

In fact, Hyunmoo wasn’t a good enough character to ban.
However, since he is so strong, he would never die if he didn’t overdo it even if he was alone.

In our team, the biggest reason we chose Han Yuna was because she was almost at the level of a worm, except for Hyunmoo.

Correspondingly, the original scene selects a bottom duo character.

Since I didn’t use a ban card in the bottom line, Helios + Gabriel combination, which is known to be the best character in the meta these days.

Gabriel is a mage-type supporter who eats away at his physical strength through his constant magic attacks.
Players with poor moving moves could end up getting hit throughout the line.

Helios is a very suitable character to create synergy with Gabriel.
Helios rides the sun chariot and fires arrows from afar.

Players who have tasted the ruthless skill shots of these two characters will never want to play the same lane again.
It’s not an FPS game, and you have to hug a tower all day avoiding skills, but who would like it other than Mazu?

‘But if it’s our bot duo, we can do it.’

[BA Battle: The bot avoids skills well, then goes in unconditionally when each comes out. Pick up Hydra and the Palgye.]
[BA Wisdom: Yes.]

Both Hydra and Jeo Bajie are sluggish characters.
In other words, it means that there is no character that is easier to face skill checks.

Nevertheless, why did you choose this combination of characters?
Killing the opposing bot duo is not a job if you can stick to it and hit it.

In this way, the composition of the bottom line was completed.
If we can dodge the skill well and start a fight, we will win.
It was found that the combination difficulty was much higher on our side.

The next characters chosen by the opponents were Mid Blue Dragon and Top Thor.
Blue Dragon, a roaming mid character, and Thor, a tank character, are both good picks.

I’m the last pick

[BA Battle: Pick the white tiger and Hercules.]

Kang Yul’s best pick, Heracles, and tank-type jungler, Baekho.

The next opponent’s last pick is Jungle Hong Gil-dong.
He was a character who used the map widely because he had very good mobility.

Team Battle Angels
Top: BA Carrywoman (Hercules)
Jungle: BA Wisdom (Baekho)
MID: BA Luna (Hyunmu)
AD Carry: BA Ryu (Hydra)
Support : BA White (Palgye Jeo)

Team Original Sin
Top: OS Pride (Thor)
Jungle: OS Lust (Hong Gil-dong)
MID: OS Fatman (Blue Dragon)
AD Carry: OS Violet (Helios)
Support : OS Bill (Gabriel)

All bans and picks have been completed.
Starting from the promotion match, it is common for the manager or coach to come out to the center of the stage and shake hands before entering.

It seemed that Angry Park appeared in the original scene.
On our side, I stepped out.

Still, the opponent is an old man who has eaten twice as much as my age.
I was polite and reached out my hand first.

However, Angry Park only bows his head from a distance.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, I bowed my head and returned.

Let’s see where that attitude goes, how far it goes.
