< Psychic Wars - All-Star Game (3) >
Episode 204
Korea is not alone in the All-Star Game.
You could tell by looking at the votes in the first place.
The fact that the voting was held in eight countries (Korea, China, Japan, the United States, France, England, Germany, and Taiwan) where their own leagues exist in Psychic Wars means that eight All-Star teams will participate in this year’s All-Star Game.
Naturally, they were preparing for the All-Star Game in their own way.
The All-Star Game is nominally a festival enjoyed by many fans.
But saying that the most popular players in a country is the same as saying that they are the most talented players in that country’s league.
As long as they form a team to compete, a certain level of competitive spirit is bound to arise.
‘Which country’s players are the best?’
Because the All-Star Game was also a yardstick by which to measure it, even if it was vaguely.
No matter how many event matches or whatnot, how many people can think of it in such a strict way?
It is natural for fans to want their players to be the best, and it is also natural for players to work hard to repay them.
And it was the same with the managers and coaches who joined the All-Star team.
“What about the other All-Star team’s power analysis results?”
“It is generally at the same level as last year. There is no place where there has been a significant jump.”
“In other words, there is nowhere to fall.”
“Damn. So you’re saying that the four of us will come out again in Korea? Can’t we just leave at least one injured?”
Brandon, who is the manager of the US All-Star Team, said with a kick.
The four Koreans he spoke of were Khan, Brad, Xenix, and Shia, commonly referred to by Psychic Wars fans as Kanble Jesha.
The United States remembered being knocked out by Korea in the All-Star Game last year after being swayed by four of them.
So that’s why I spoke so bluntly.
“By the way, we have Cynthia in addition to Arta. Compared to last year, it’s worth it.”
“It’s true that Cynthia is good at it. She’s also talented. But she’s not at the level of Khan and Arta yet. Right now, it’s only at the level of Xenix or Shia.”
“We have to see the potential to grow in the All-Star Game.”
“It’s absurd, but there’s no other choice but that. Whoa….”
At the coach’s words, Brandon licked his lips.
The Kanbljesha line was the fear of all countries participating in the All-Star Game.
As soon as the Psychic Wars League was launched, he debuted as a Trickers, and the legend who reigned supreme by chewing on the professional league, Khan.
Likewise, after debuting as the Trickers, Brad has established himself as an undisputed ace in overseas leagues.
Two people who took away the championship and MVP for a while against Khan, even Xenix and Shia.
There is a reason why the joke that monsters appear one after another in Korea is not just a joke.
Besides, I heard that there is another person, a monster worse than Khan this year…
“Isn’t that Kratos, who ranked first in the All-Star Game voting, won’t participate?”
The director suddenly remembered the person he had heard of as a rumor and asked a question.
The coach, who was rummaging through the papers, found what he was looking for, confirmed it, and nodded.
“Yes. No participation is confirmed. Due to the rules, event match participants are not allowed to join the team.”
“Event Match…….. Was it the ‘Sword God Raid’? How are you preparing for this?”
“We are preparing normally. We do not know what the prepared event psyker is, and we have not yet revealed how it will proceed.”
“Yeah. Well. It’s just an event match anyway.”
Brandon shrugged.
The coaches also seemed to agree with his opinion.
It’s just an event match.
What matters is this game!
Because that was their collective opinion.
“It’s a pity, though. Hopefully, we could have played against Korea, which had an amateur player.”
“Well. From what I’ve researched, I might be thankful that I didn’t join.”
“To be called an amateur player, his record is pretty flashy.”
With those words, Brandon went through the documents investigating Dohyun and read them roughly.
What was written was not very long.
It was Dohyun who didn’t do a lot of activities in the first place.
However, the weight of the contents contained within it was very heavy regardless of its length.
“Winning the Physical Ultimate Tournament. Victory against all of Khan, Vlad, Xenix, and Shire? What, this monster?”
Brandon asked with a look of exasperation.
It was because it was absurd to hear that there was a monster that had defeated all four people he was worried about until now.
I even looked at the records, and in a special match, it was said that I overpowered four people!
“With this one person, I wouldn’t worry about the All-Star Game and the Wars Cup. Ha. I didn’t think there would be more monsters than those four.”
“If that’s enough, wouldn’t it have beaten Khan in Korea to take the first place in the vote?”
“Is there really something in the country called Korea? If you see monsters like this being discovered every year, isn’t it possible, Mac?”
“Anyway, all the team scouts have gone to Korea these days. And I didn’t participate in the All-Star team, so I don’t have to worry too much about it.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Brandon nodded at the coach’s words and fluttered the papers he was holding.
“Hmm. If you haven’t made your professional debut yet, you might be able to sign him into our team later.”
“Haha. That’s a funny joke.”
“Does this sound like a joke?”
“·······I am sorry, but coach Brandon. I have to say that he is currently being considered by our team as the number one signing.”
“Yeah? So, it’s the first place on our team, too, because I, the manager, want it.”
“We’re talking about the All-Star Game.”
“That’s right. For now.”
That was the end of the All-Star Game US team manager and coach talking about the event match with Dohyun.
They were concentrating on the main All-Star game, so the event match was passed without much thought.
And it was the same in other countries.
“Event Match? It’s more of a match than that!”
“Make sure to analyze the other team’s power!”
“This is like a preview of the Wars Cup! Don’t try to disappoint the fans!”
Seven other countries, including the United States, also skipped the event match and prepared only the main match.
It means that Korea was the only place that came up with a strategic-like strategy.
and as it is.
Finally, the All-Star Game has begun.
The broadcasting rights of all matches, including the Psychic Wars League, are owned by the developer, Blyon.
And Bleon broadcasts matches, including leagues, in two ways: Tricky TV and iTube.
-The opening is long without use.
-Why did I have fun hahahaha
-By the way, why didn’t Shani appear at the opening?
This way, viewers on the platform can chat while watching the All-Star Game.
Moreover, the number of viewers exceeded a million on both platforms combined.
What a huge number!
Considering the broadcasts that are being broadcast separately, it may actually be close to twice that number.
Even if it was a special number of viewers for the All-Star Game, it was possible to feel the popularity of Psychic Wars at least.
“Hello, Psychic Wars fans all over the country.
This year’s All-Star Game has finally begun. I am Jinwoon Jin, in charge of the host. Nice to meet you!”
– That face I saw again
– God Jungwoon hyung who believes and sees!
-I miss Hanul-hyung…
– He was the god Jungwoon hyung before the All-Star game haha
The host of this All-Star Game was a true caster.
He was the official host of the regular first division league, and was evaluated as having the ability to progress almost at the level of one of the domestic casters.
To the extent that it is said that he unconditionally took a seat in an All-Star Game like this one or a world championship called ‘Words Cup’.
“And we have two commentators to join us for the All-Star Game. Hello?”
“Hello! I’m Kang Kang-woo, who is the commentator for the All-Star Game this time.”
“Likewise, this is Lee Han-soo, who will be taking on the role of commentator for the All-Star Game. Please take care of me.”
– Sensei Kang is an All-Star commentary hahahaha
– Even if Hansoo-hyung understands, what is the lecture?
-It’s the hottest commentary these days, but what’s the point hahahaha
-Shut up and see you
It was none other than Kang Kang-woo who participated as one of the commentators of the broadcast crew.
He participated as a guest commentator several times earlier and also worked as a regular commentator for the second division for another season, and was selected for the All-Star Game broadcaster.
It goes without saying that the fact that he was associated with Do-hyeon this time and his awareness increased considerably also had a considerable influence on Lee In-seon.
The other person, Han-soo Lee, is a person who is said to be ‘If there is genuine luck in the caster, there is Han-soo Lee in the commentary’.
“Will Korea really be able to win the championship for the second time in a row in this All-Star Game? Many fans are looking forward to it?
-Isn’t this actually the answer?
– How can I say that I can’t do it here hahaha
– You have to do it all the time!!
-mind! Don’t you know the patriotic commentary?
Even though it was a combination that viewers saw for the first time, is it because they have basic abilities?
The three broadcasters got along well and started watching the All-Star Game.
The game hasn’t started yet, so for the rest of the time, we just chatted to make sure the viewers didn’t get bored, but just looking at it gave the impression that it wasn’t bad.
“Personally, the American player ‘Cynthia’ is the most notable…”
“China has also prepared a new strategy for the All-Star Game…”
First of all, caster Jin-woon, who has been broadcasting for a long time, and commentator Han-soo Lee, worked very well together.
When I needed it, I hit it hard and came out, I typed a comment, accepted it, and proceeded without being bored.
It was understandable why they were called ‘true numbers’ combinations.
“Come to think of it, there was a time when I was in contact with Khan after the best physical match this time. At that time, Khan also had a strategy for the All-Star Game…”
One surprising thing is that Kang Kang-woo secretly got along well with them and showed off his knowledge.
This is because, unlike the other two who are merely commentators, they have made use of their strengths as commentators and personal broadcasters to tell stories that are difficult to understand easily.
It was good to see it as a commentary with a unique taste that was different from the previous ones.
“Alright, while I’m telling you, the first event match is ready. It’s an event match that will mark the start of the All-Star Game, right? It’s the ‘Sword God Raid’!”
How did we chat like that?
As soon as the match completion signal came, the true caster quickly came out with a message.
“What is ‘Sword God Raid’…’
Caster Jin-woon explained ‘Sword God Raid’ at a fast pace, considering the viewers who might not know – I don’t know if there are such people.
Most of it was previously known.
Information that Dohyun is the opponent, it is a raid type, and uses a special psyker.
Still, it wasn’t a joke at all.
This is because the information provided to the relay crew was properly released.
“If you clear the Sword God Raid, the one with the shortest clear time wins! If you can’t clear it, the one who lasts longer wins.”
“If you can’t clear it, conversely, you’ll have to use a strategy that prolongs time.”
“Yes. Of course, in that case, if there is a team that clears before or after, it will be an automatic loss. But at least it will give you a chance to get a higher rank.”
It’s great if you can clear it.
Even if it seemed impossible to clear it, it was a rule in the sense of not giving up easily and holding on to the end.
In fact, the management team leader, who saw Dohyun handling the swordsin, thought, ‘Maybe there may not be a team that can clear it’, so a new rule was added in a hurry!
As the broadcasters were about to finish explaining the rules, something new appeared on the chairman’s holographic screen.
There were eight balls with the names of each country written on them.
“It is said that the decision is made through drawing who will challenge the raid first. Which order do you think is better?”
“Isn’t it better to say that it is better to sell first, because it is more comfortable to do it first?”
“I think the same.”
-sympathy. It would be better to do it first
-No, you should take it easy at the end
-You can do it later to steal and attack other teams.
-? Can’t hear the rules? I can’t see what other teams are doing, so what’s wrong ;;
While viewers are arguing over which order is the best.
Eight balls floating on the venue’s hologram screen spin around and then pop out one by one.
As a result.
“The first team to challenge is Korea and Korea. What kind of record will they set? Let’s check the strategy we have prepared.
Then the event match, ‘Sword God Raid’
now! Start-Let’s go!”
The first challenge team for ‘Sword God Raid’ was Korea.
