Chapter 90 – 90. Promotion Match (3)

“Hoo-wook… Whoop…”

Director Park of the original scene spits out the sound of rough breathing.
After losing two sets in a row, he was dizzy.

‘How did this happen?’

Obviously, the players were trained hard.
Under the pretext of hell training, he did not even sleep and rolled, and did not hesitate to punish him if the play he wanted did not come out.
However,

‘Three to zero is absolutely impossible.’

As the effort went down in the third set, it was in danger of being relegated to the third division.

And that, too, by the Battle Angels with that arrogant coach.

“Don’t get your mind right!”

After the coach’s feedback, the short time remaining before the third set begins.

Angry Park stepped forward and personally comforted the team members.

“You guys really want to be relegated to the 3rd division?! If you go to the third division, your players’ lives are over, it’s over!”
“……”
“……”

But I don’t know how much his extensive reading of him would have helped.
The expression of the players who heard the shouting suddenly darkened.

“I risk my life for the third set.”
“……”
“Why no answer? Okay?!”
“Yes…!!”

From old times, coach Park thought that professional players need to press hard and exert pressure to show their real skills.
That’s why he decided that he should put more pressure on the players in this crisis situation.

“This edition, if you show even a little sluggishness, be prepared.”
“……”
“I can understand why you can’t, because you guys are people too. However! Not being able to concentrate is a disqualification as a player!”
“Yes!”

Director Park nodded his head as if satisfied with the answer, which still gave off a bit of lively energy.
The goal is win-lose-win-win.
It wasn’t impossible.

The faces of the Battle Angels players after the 2nd set match did not look very happy.
It’s only been two games, but it’s already exhausting.

‘This is why female pros.’

It was not that he was unaware of the pressure of the professional stage, and of course, the promotion stage.
Unless you’re an experienced player, everyone gets nervous, which causes their stamina to drain faster than usual.

‘That’s why a person’s vessel must be large in order to do great things.’

If you are exhausted to this extent, you will never be able to stand on the big stage.
This multi-premise system, if it was as it is, it was possible enough.

###

The 3rd set ban pick has begun.

If you win this set, you will succeed in promotion as it is, and you will be active in the second division from next season.

It was unimaginable when they were named Battle Angels, no, Pink Angels.
Players who couldn’t even take a master teamed up and advanced to the second division…
Even a passing dog would not believe it.

However, a season has passed since then, and apart from Ryu Seo-yoon, who was originally in the master tier, Lee Ji-hye and Baek Ha-yan entered the master tier in turn, and were about to be promoted to the second division.

‘But it’s not over until it’s over yet.’

It’s not too late to feel the feeling of grandeur and emotion after you’ve actually achieved a promotion.

I spoke to the players while proceeding with ban-picking.

[BA Battle: This edition will go completely with early combinations.]

Mo or do.
If you fail in the beginning, take a combination that has no answer, but do not have regrets about winning or losing.

[BA Battle: If you don’t finish early, your opponent might try to take time.]

It was a strategy I had never seen before in my professional career in the first division.
Deliberately wasting time and draining the opposing team’s stamina…
We should win when we can win, but it is a very risky choice in the second half, when the game could end with a single team blow by wasting time.

But now the situation is a bit special.

‘Now that we have a combination that is impossible to turn around in the second half, and we realize that the stamina issue is fatal to our team, it might be worth trying.’

Then, how to fight a special strategy with a special strategy.
I gave instructions that the players might be reluctant to do.

[BA Battle: If the opponent tries to take a little bit of time, just surrender.]

Seren rarely appears in professional matches.
If there is even the slightest possibility of reversal, it is the virtue of a professional to try to the end.

Therefore, giving up midway was not only an unprofessional act, but also could have disappointed the fans who supported it.

Even so, I dared to direct Seoren.

[BA Battle: It’s one game anyway. If you think it won’t work after trying it boldly in the beginning, give up and see the next version.]
[BA Carrywoman: Yes. All right.]
[BA Battle: And Ji-hye is ganking mainly on the top of this version.]
[BA Wisdom: Yes. I’ll plan the route well.]

The match started shortly after coming out of the capsule.
As expected, a very fierce fight took place from the beginning.

“Wow… Battle Angels! Showing an incredibly hot game?”
“Was this team this aggressive? No matter how much you took the early combination, you can’t imagine showing such an aggressive side…!”
“We haven’t even played 10 minutes yet and we already have 10 kills! Today’s game is truly the best ever!”

However, as time went on, the game started to get weird.
Strangely, the players in the original scene survived by a single point, and the kill score began to occur.

It is not easy to close the gap once it has been opened because it took an all-in combination in the early stages.
It has been scheduled since then.

No matter how hard our players struggled, it was not easy to kill the opponent’s character who had already matured.

‘It’s over.’

The third set is lost.
I expected it to some extent, but I felt a little confused.
If the early rush had worked, it could have ended the promotion match.

But it wasn’t without success at all.

When I did the combination in the very beginning, I could see how much the estimate came out.
This was quite useful information to write the next strategy.

‘This is enough.’

In particular, the most important line in this set was the top.
This was the reason why Ji-hye Lee was ganked on the top line right before the match started.

Even so, Pride, the top laner in the original scene, completely lost his momentum as he persistently sold the top to a combination that was strong against strength in the early stages.

‘Enough with this.’

Pride, who had grown up, was slowly regaining his confidence, but the promised time came.

When you don’t roll the snowball right in the early stages and there’s little chance of a comeback.
On top of that, the original scene players, who felt that they had completely taken the initiative, were slowly putting pressure on our team and eating away at our mentality.

In that look, I could already feel the composure of a winner.

“Battle Angels! Even though the situation has turned out like this, we boldly open a team fight!”
“There is no point in wasting more time! But it won’t be easy, doesn’t it?!”
“As expected, it is not enough! A complete come-from-behind victory for the original scene!”

Battle Angels players gather their last strength to open a team fight.
And after winning that teamfight, the players from the original scene pushed down like crazy!

It was a respawn time that could end the game if you accelerated it.
However, players in the original scene only push as far as the inhibitor and get out of it.

‘As expected, I’m thinking of dragging the time.’

The current situation of our team is like entering a swamp where the more we struggle, the deeper we fall.
Even if you try harder here, the odds of winning are very low.

Wooooo…

Sudden moving relay screen.
The faces of the audience and the broadcasters went blank.

And a frozen screen in the core of Battle Angels.

Uh uh uh uh…!

[Defeat]

“……”
“……”
“Uh… GG!!”
“Serren! Is Seoren out now?!”
“Yeah. This is the first time in 10 years of commentary life that this has happened!”

Something happened that broke the unwritten rules of the AOS game competition.

It was a national rule to throw a game but not to play Seoren, but when the Battle Angels players lost in the last teamfight, they played Seoren without much worry.

Suddenly, I was curious about public opinion, so I looked for a community through my cell phone.
As expected, I could see the ghosts of the Internet who were running the relay before the promotion were chewing, biting, and tasting.

[Hey fuckhahaI made a siren in the promotion matchhaha]
[He’s a real legend. Is this the spirit of the new team?]
[If you fail in the beginning with that combination, it’s right to play sirenhaha]
[See how dumb the commentators are.

Who knows, maybe it was because of the atmosphere of the game.
Not many people seemed to question the judgment.

In fact, public opinion didn’t matter much.

History is written by the winners.
In the end, if the promotion is achieved, all of this will also end in a happening.
But what if you lose?

I decided not to think about it that far.

I patted the shoulders of the team members who had returned from the capsule.

“You judged well.”

If you do more, it will only eat away at your mental and physical strength.
In that case, it was right to watch the next game.

We still have two more chances left.

“Kang Yul.”

Of course, I had no intention of going all the way to the last set.
When I called Kang Yul, she turned to me with her trusting face to her.
He seemed to have figured out what I was going to say.

“Are you ready?”

I asked and she nodded her head.
I met her eye to eye and told her what she wanted most.

“Now is the time for you to show.”
