Swordmanship Veteran's Game Stream Chapter 158
【Read only at hivetoons.org】
“Team Wealth Gap! Hit by Dokkaebi's club, they are defeated! GG!”
Arin's resounding voice announced the end of the game.
“Ah, Wealth Gap! It's not a pity! Because they were completely helpless!”
Bangju said mockingly.
-Dokkaebi really rushed them down.
-As expected of the jungle!
Following that, Bangju spat out rapid-fire words like a rapper.
“Bot? Blown open! Jungle? Blown open! Top? There was a gap in skill, so player Wind Sword kept holding the initiative, but if we only look at the KDA? Blown open! Yes! The game is blown open! Wow!”
If judging solely by the laning phase score, Wind Sword was at 0 kills and 2 deaths.
And the opposing top laner had 0 kills, 0 deaths, and 2 assists.
Wind Sword's two deaths became the foundation for Dokkaebi's carry.
“Player Dokkaebi relentlessly camped top. He went there constantly. It's terrifying.”
“And because of that, what could Wind Sword even do? Since he had to be so careful of ganks.”
“On top of that, bot lane was pushed back the entire time due to the early kill, and they couldn't recover, and they were completely ruined when Dokkaebi visited again.”
The cause of the defeat.
“The jungler really did nothing. They lost completely. In every aspect.”
It was the jungler. However, this was a fact everyone had expected.
Even getting devastated this brutally.
“We can say that while they are still unfamiliar with the jungle, the opponent was just too strong, right?”
“Exactly. Still! Today's match doesn't affect anything, so they can just build up their skills for next time!”
Arin said positively.
It was also true. The time given after the scrims ended was long.
Although they did not know what they should do to get stronger during that time.
“Ah. And we really can't go without talking about this player in this game.”
This time, it was about Seo-jun.
“He really is an absurd player, isn't he?”
“Yes, that's right. Since he drove Dokkaebi away with his sheer presence alone.”
The commentators all laughed together.
To be precise, everyone except Penguin.
“Everyone was truly shocked. The moment player Dokkaebi suddenly froze like he saw a ghost and abandoned the gank!”
“Some say that Dokkaebi was just really hungry, and since he is a Glutton Goblin, he went to eat jungle monsters. Or that he offered a sacrifice for victory.”
Bangju flatly denied it.
“Player Seo-jun was either red beans or horse blood!”
“Dokkaebi hate red things, you see. Isn't that right, Penguin-nim?”
Penguin said in a resigned manner.
“Just say he was scared.”
Once again, laughter erupted from everyone except Penguin.
-Hahaha, no but he was seriously scared
-You can tell by how Dokkaebi didn't even show his face near mid after that
-But is Seo-jun really that scary?
-There might be something we can't see ㄷㄷ
-Dokkaebi could have pulled off the gank, but he made a strategic choice fearing the losses would be too high, you fools!!!!
-Strategic choice (grinning while going to farm jungle camps)
-No, he was experimenting by abandoning mid. For the sake of the future
-Meanwhile, Penguin's face is totally miserable lolololol
Although Dokkaebi and Seo-jun did not realize it, his act of abandoning Hat to choose jungle monsters, and not going to gank mid since then, became a bigger topic of discussion than Seo-jun's defeat.
In fact, it was only natural.
This was because the only reason for a jungler to avoid a gank was out of fear of losing, but the situation at the time was absolutely not to that extent.
Others could not share the field of vision that Seo-jun and Dokkaebi had.
[Teammates < Jungle Monsters]
[Ah lol, he sacrificed Hat as a tribute to pacify the monster named Seo-jun.]
[Could it be that he was a toxic player who pretended to gank to make his teammates fight and then pulled out himself? lololol]
[Just how hungry was Dokkaebi? Let's find out.]
Therefore, many strange reasons came up, and the topic of Seo-jun paying for his karma also lost momentum.
“It seems the trauma was deeply engraved after being hit by the parachute taunt in Ground Zero!”
“Indeed. Even if it were me, I wouldn't have wanted to go in on player Seo-jun.”
“He certainly is an amazing player. He showed an incredible performance in this game as well, didn't he?”
“Driving away a fellow A-grade top jungler with nothing but sheer presence is amazing, but getting a total of nine solo kills on player Hat during the laning phase is also incredible.”
“I think player Dokkaebi, who didn't go to help even once during that time, is even more amazing, though.”
-Since he blew up all the other lanes while Hat died nine times, we can cut him some slack.
I'm telling you, he just made an efficient choice!
-Are there Dokkaebi fans here too? Why are you guys shielding him so much?
-But isn't it true? They won in the end lol. I think it's true he was just testing if they could win even if they abandoned mid.
-No. Looking at the final part, it's understandable even if he chickened out.
“Certainly. I think the two-man Sword of Judgment shown at the end was also amazing. Did anyone happen to catch it properly?”
To Arin's question, Taeyang answered first.
“Since they were so tangled up, I couldn't see it properly.”
Bangju said the same.
And Penguin was quiet. No one asked him.
“Shall we take a look?”
The observer played the video.
It referred to a large-scale battle that could tilt the game's victory or defeat in a single blow.
“It's a chaotic five-on-five scramble! The initiation opening the teamfight is player Dokkaebi's skill!”
The skills of the heroes became entangled.
Having reached the late game, they had also purchased runes with the gold earned in-game, so their skills were enhanced as well.
In the chaos where skills were tangled and it was difficult to tell who was hitting whom.
Seo-jun was caught on the screen.
Seo-jun was moving freely through the chaos, dodging the shards of skills flying from all directions while swiftly slashing the vital points of the enemies.
It was a movement that even an average pro would struggle to pull off.
He attacked the enemy in front of him while dodging skills flying from the side and rear, and activated invincibility when in danger.
“In the end, the teammates are all dead, and player Seo-jun falls back.”
“He doesn't forget the Sword of Judgment while backing off at the end. In that short moment, he activated the Sword of Judgment on two people.”
-He really is amazing
-So what? They lost lololol
-He couldn't win even with those mechanics. No matter how good he is, it's just too hard...
-???: If you don't make mistakes, blah blah
Arin, who was reading the chat, chuckled.
“Yes, that's true. They did lose in the end. But! Could it be that he wasn't giving his all?”
From Arin's perspective, Seo-jun spent almost the entire time in mid.
He had not made any attempts to carry the game.
In other words, was he holding back to some degree? Playing casually? That was Arin's theory.
“You're telling me to stop talking nonsense? Understood.”
That theory was quickly shot down.
Indeed, if that wasn't his full power, it would be terrifying.
“Now, before we move on to the next game! Mr. Penguin?”
“Why did you even make a bet in the first place?”
Bangju clicked his tongue with a laugh.
“Of all things, it's nyan-speak. Hahaha.”
Taeyang was delighted that Penguin had added another dark history to his record, and
“The muscle kitty is deploying once again!”
Arin shouted, holding a headband in her hand.
In the end, Penguin cursed his past self from an hour ago, who had brainlessly believed that Seo-jun would win and made a bet he didn't need to.
Soon, a gruff voice echoed through the studio.
“That last team is fighting well. From the very start.”
“Those two teams on the other side were powerhouse teams, weren't they?”
“Powerhouse teams...”
The atmosphere was like a funeral home.
“Everyone, if the other laners get fed, I can cover for it, so don't worry. The jungler blowing up everything was because Alpaca-nim isn't used to the role yet, so it was natural that we couldn't stop it.”
“I didn't do well, either.”
-Ah lol look how downcast he is
-Honestly, the streamer is also responsible. He was pushed back in his role to carry as an A-grade.
-There was nothing he could do, for real
-Yeah, the host lost, right?
Of course, the effect was minimal.
“I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I clearly read all the way up to the advanced guide on understanding the jungle five times, sob.”
Alpaca repeatedly apologized.
“Still, it's a bit embarrassing that I couldn't even beat a D-grade. I should have stood firm like you, Seo-jun-nim. It's been so long since I played anything but Kael.”
Wind Sword let out a sheepish laugh, feeling apologetic, and
Had Ha Yun-ho lost his mind?
“Seo-jun-nim is right. This round was just really unlucky. The problem is, it looks like we'll keep having bad luck in the other rounds too.”
Finally, Rumi rationally predicted the future.
“Then, how should we train?”
So Seo-jun asked, tossing out the bait.
“Since I have a wide network, let's do infinite scrims!”
Ha Yun-ho said. Indeed, they didn't seem to need to worry about scheduling other private scrims.
“But if we focus mainly on scrims, it'll be physically draining and won't have much effect. Scrims should only be used to improve teamwork; they don't really help with boosting individual skill.”
“Then, as expected, we should look for a coach, right?”
Wind Sword said. He was new to LiOS.
However, as a Teusu, he had watched it a lot and remembered seeing streamers often doing content with coaches.
-Will this team get a coach too?
-Give them a solution quickly! And make these guys practice
“Sometimes an A-grade teaches, but they do recruit coaches a lot, too.”
They could also use being coached as stream content.
“Then, for the coach, this Ha Yun-ho with only a wide network will—!”
Seo-jun stopped Ha Yun-ho.
“Ah! No need for that.”
“Ah... is that so! Haha!”
“Are they a streamer?”
The teammates were slightly worried.
First of all, Seo-jun was new to LiOS, and he didn't even seem to have watched it before.
On top of that, due to his short career, he probably didn't know any streamers, so they had absolutely no idea who he would bring.
“I should have told you earlier, but to be honest, I was a bit unsure myself.”
“Ah, I'm sorry.”
“Sob. It's because we did so poorly...”
“Anyway, I'm just planning to recruit them. If you guys don't like it, please let me know. After all, proper practice won't start until four days from now, right?”
“Is it someone we know too?”
“Hmm. I'm not sure, but by any chance, do you know Dong-soo... no, Lee Dong-soo?"
In an instant, silence descended on the surroundings.
As Seo-jun looked at each of his teammates' faces, all of their eyes were wide with shock.
And they all wore expressions of sheer disbelief.
“Why? Do you all know him?”
Seo-jun tilted his head and asked back.
-Lee Dong-soo? Do you mean Lee Dong-soo of Freefall?
-Wait, what is this? Is he bluffing?
-Seriously, what is the streamer's deal?
-Is this guy's network crazy good too?
-With just Lee Dong-soo, Ha Yun-ho's network is instantly made obsolete lolololol
-Lol hiring Lee Dong-soo as a coach? Aren't pros super busy?
-Seriously what is this *shudder*
Judging by their faces, they did seem to know him.
‘I guess he really is quite famous.’
Had Lee Dong-soo been standing before him, Seo-jun would have looked at him with a renewed sense of novelty.
Or, he would have patted his shoulder and teased him about being popular.
-Ah, that guy Lee Dong-soo lol. How did he become close with the streamer? I'm so jealous lol
-Hey you lunatic, this isn't a matter to just joke about lolololol
-Why Lee Dong-soo, seriously?
This remark caused an even bigger stir than Seo-jun had anticipated.
