< Psychic Wars - All-Star Game (6) >
Episode 207
“The Korean team failed to clear?”
“Is the ‘me’ Korean team failing?”
Words in a tone that could not be understood came from the players who realized the situation late.
Because the status of the Korean team was that great.
In addition to winning the All-Star Game last year, the Korean team also won the World Championship and ‘Words Cup’ last year.
What was even more frightening were the four top tier players they had.
Khan, Vlad, Xenix, Shia!
Four monsters who can become the best players in any country or league.
In fact, Brad entered the Chinese league and is playing an active part as an undisputed ace for his team, and he was battling with ‘Wang Tau’ for the position of the best player in China.
These four men, who are fearless even if set aside, will gather as a Korean team once the All-Star Game is over.
Naturally, the status of the Korean team is high.
‘That Korean team failed in 7 minutes?’
‘What a monster-like thing you made….’
‘Isn’t this just embarrassing for nothing?’
In a way, it was natural for the players to worry.
Even the Korean team, the best team in the world, barely lasted 7 minutes and 3 seconds.
Of course, the fact that this event match would be terrifyingly difficult was predictable.
What if you can’t last 5 minutes let alone 7 minutes?
Compared to the Korean team that lasted longer, it was obvious that they would be treated as downgraded for a long time.
No one was going to laugh at it.
Because none of the players gathered here thought that the All-Star Game was a festival.
It’s probably an international competition, a world competition.
It would be strange that those who risk their pride as representatives of each country are not concerned in this exceptional situation.
Of course, there are exceptions everywhere.
“Hey, this is… fun, isn’t it?”
It was Arta, the captain of the American team who said that.
Called Captain Arta, she rejoiced with a broad smile.
I am not particularly happy with the failure of the Korean team.
Because she wasn’t petty enough to laugh at the failures of others.
If it were such a person, he would not have been selected as the captain of the American team, nor would he have been given the title of captain.
The reason she smiles is that from now on, even that great Korean team will take on a challenge that has failed.
“It’s our turn next. What’s fun? Ugh. No.”
It was Cynthia who shot at the smiling Arta.
Cynthia is the opposite of Arta, who is positive in everything and full of leadership.
She frowned as if she didn’t like the fact that from now on even the Korean team had to go to a failed event match.
Arta tilted her head and asked at her, who was blatantly dissatisfied.
“Why? It’s funny. What would the reaction be if the Korean team failed and we succeeded? It’s amazing!”
“Even if it fails, it will be awesome.”
“That’s something to think about then!”
“It’s something to worry about from now on, that’s! Really, you’re so positive!”
“Oh, thanks for the compliment.”
“It’s not a compliment!”
Cynthia complained that Arta was overly positive, but the other players in the waiting room focused on something other than that.
Because they also realized one thing from Arta’s words.
The fact that the Korean team failed to clear.
In other words, if you succeed in clearing it, it means you suppressed the Korean team!
Even if it was an event match, it was clear that it was a big blow to the Korean team, which is publicly called the best in the world.
‘Even if I lose this match-‘
‘If you get results here, you have something to say!’
Besides, the odds were higher this way.
It was clear that it would be easier to aim for a longer duration in the event match than to win against the Korean team.
Of course, they thought that way because they did not know the existence of a monster called Do-hyeon who was crouching before the swordsman.
“ha······.”
The eyes of the sunken players caught fire.
Cynthia looked at it and sighed deeply.
After all, isn’t it worthwhile to act to make the atmosphere sag?
“Really, you’re an idiot. Arta.”
“No. Anyway, we have no choice but to do it anyway, so let’s think about countermeasures.
“No, not at all!”
Cynthia sighed once more at Arta’s refreshing reply.
I know that Arta has the leadership to lead the team and has the charisma to follow, but she was too stupid.
Even so, he wants to follow him, so he’s called ‘Captain’, but…
‘At times like this, honestly, it’s a bit frustrating.’
Arta, realizing the young frustration on Cynthia’s face, made excuses by scratching her cheek.
“Honestly, there is too little information to come up with any countermeasures. At best, controlling a special psyker is about an amateur called a swordsman.”
“Did you know that that amateur defeated all four of Khan, Vlad, Xenix, and Shire in an event called “Physical Strongest Fight”?
“What? Did I? But why didn’t I know?”
“I told you, but you didn’t hear it. It’s the same with you and your team manager. Especially the fact that if you’re not interested, you don’t even listen.”
As a side note, the team Arta belongs to is ‘Feast’, and the manager is Brandon William, who is currently serving as the manager of the All-Star team.
When Arta heard that he was the same as the director, he giggled and laughed.
“After all, it’s an event match, so I must have done it in moderation. With that in mind, did I ever lose in an event match?”
“I wouldn’t have done it properly in the All-Star Game.”
“Yeah, that’s right-“
Arta nodded her head and then smiled.
“But it’s okay. We’re strong enough. Rather than thinking about countermeasures now, let’s focus on what we’re good at.”
“Things I’m good at….”
“Yeah. We have no choice but to push for what we do best. That’s our style.”
“It must be your style.”
“That or that.”
At Arta’s smile, Cynthia immediately nodded her head with a trembling expression.
Certainly, Arta might not have been right.
There is a possibility that the answer might be to choose the best psyker and push it rather than taking measures.
Did he even wait for the conversation between the captain and staff of the US team to end like that?
– Next order, Team USA. Please prepare.
The system, which had been silently silent, called the next team.
Immediately, Arta laughed as if the person had changed.
It wasn’t the sarcastic laugh before, it was a smile like a wild beast.
“Come on, let’s go! Friends!”
“Yeah. That’s right. Everyone goes. With our captain.”
It was around the time when the players in the waiting room were thinking about various things after hearing the results.
The broadcasters were watching the replay of the Korean team’s game they had just played.
Because the game itself progressed so quickly, I didn’t have time to watch the replay during the main match, so I’m here to watch it again.
What they were seeing now was the situation in Phase 1.
Twenty swords flying in the sky, pressuring the Korean team, and barely persevering!
“Phase 1 has endured very well, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, I can’t say it’s perfect, but it wasn’t a defense that would break easily. If it hadn’t been for Phase 2, it might have taken 10 more minutes to be wiped out here.”
“Individual physical is also physical, but the connection between tanks and dealers is very good. Khan, Brad, and Xenix who chose the dealer intervened appropriately whenever the tank was in danger.”
– You have a good strategy. Those with a lot of experience;
-I felt that the Korean team prepared well here.
– It wasn’t just that we hired 7 tanks for nothing.
-But the thing that doesn’t work is the swordsman class.
And the long-awaited second phase followed.
At the same time as the start, the light flashed and there was a scene where the toaster was stabbed to death by Do-hyeon’s sword.
After changing it slowly and very slowly, somehow, the English language was revealed.
“At the same time as I summoned the sword of light in my hand, I sprinted out of the throne and pierced the toaster. The toaster, who was concentrating on the other sword, didn’t even respond.”
In fact, I wondered if he would have been able to react even if he had been concentrating on Dohyun.
The swordsman who reached Phase 2 was able to achieve the fastest ‘Blue Lightning’ speed among psykers.
While Caster Jin-woon and commentator Lee Han-soo were analyzing the cause, Kang Kang-woo, who was looking through the data, suddenly spoke.
“One interesting thing is the feud between Toaster and Kratos.”
“Is it bad?”
“It started with the best physical fight, and it was Kratos who dropped the Toaster player from there.”
“Huh?”
“In addition to that, the player who got the game over the fastest was the toaster player, and the player who did that was-“
“You’re a Kratos player!”
-Toaster luster ooing
-Isn’t this enough to bother you?
-My favorite player, Toaster, treated me like this.
“Of course it’s a coincidence, but it’s Kratos who made the first dropout of this year’s All-Star Game into a toaster player.”
“Haha. It’s an interesting relationship. No, it’s a bad relationship.”
The replays showing the highlight scenes continued.
In fact, the game itself was short at 7 minutes, so the highlight scene was almost the entire game, but anyway.
The story progressed mainly as the Korean team members lost their lives one by one by the twenty swords.
Meanwhile.
“······Is that true?”
“Wow, then really-“
“haha.”
-? what mi
– Did you get any messages?
-Oh hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
– Awkwardly
After seeing the message delivered to the system, the broadcasters had a startled expression on their faces.
Then, soon after they came to their senses, they coughed in vain.
Among the broadcasters who exchanged glances for a while, it was Caster Jin-woon who was in charge of the host who spoke as the representative.
“Now, Blion has delivered one piece of information to the broadcasters of each country. It’s a story about a special psyker in an event match. It’s probably a description of ‘Isn’t it too strong’?”
-event psyker was strong
-Twenty swords haha Blah class speed haha Eva tuna hahahahahahahahahahaha
– Isn’t it Eva Tuna who can handle that?
– I can’t even write that I’m giving, so I get frustrated.
After seeing the collapse of the Korean team, the best in the world, it seems that a lot of stories were told to Bleon.
Seeing the feedback being returned so quickly.
However, the feedback returned by Blion was completely different from the thoughts of those who inquired.
“To start with, the current event psyker’s output is said to have been nerfed by more than a tenth of that of the previous year’s event psyker. In terms of overall ability, it is said that there are three psykers. Of course, it is superior in terms of technology. ············”.
The chat window was quickly covered with ‘?’ at the words of Caster Jinwoon.
Because Dohyun’s appearance was too overwhelming to think that the nerfed psyker showed it.
Have you not won a victory against ten Korean team members without ever faltering and not allowing a single attack?
But, was it nerfed?
– Then how much longer did you originally count?
-Have these blions lost their minds;
– No, then how did the bigger Korean team win?
-If the psyker isn’t a scam… the pilot is a scam?
“Originally, it was controlled by a player, not a developer, so it was said that it was made at half the output of the existing event psyker. Blon’s announcement
all.”
-Emergency haha additional lol nerf lol
-Me and the people who said that psyker was a scam hahahaha
-Pilot was a scam, so I nerfed Psyker, but it was a scam hahahaha
-??? : Try nerfing this too!
In other words, this was the meaning of the information Bleon delivered.
‘We did our best to nerf it, but the person handling it is just a scam.’
It could not help but put to rest the complaints of having to deal with an overly powerful event psyker.
“I wonder what it was like before it was nerfed, so it was urgently nerfed.”
“At least he must have been stronger than he is now? Well then, hmm. I think choosing the nerf was the right choice. If it hadn’t, it could have ended right after the event match started.”
“Then I think it would have been recorded as one of the greatest event matches of all time. Hahaha.”
The broadcasters were joking, but they didn’t know.
Indeed, Bleon was concerned about it and asked Dohyun for his understanding and made an additional nerf.
Because Dohyun, who deals with the event psyker before being nerfed, was truly a god.
And that was one of Dohyun’s abilities.
Do-hyeon had the talent to bring out the abilities that were given to him beyond the limits.
In other words, if you give him a strong psyker, he becomes stronger.
Since I gave him a god, he has no choice but to become a god.
“Now, while we’re talking, it looks like the US team is ready!”
“The Korean team, who knows Kratos, came with an extreme tactic of 7 tanks? On the other hand, I’m looking forward to seeing what the American team will do!”
“Then let’s start with the pick!”
