The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 325

Episode 324 – Who Are We? (1)

5 days, the period given for practice after the draw for the brackets is completed.

The fighting game community, including the Metal Punch meta, has been in a state of turmoil for some time.

[Godple really doesn't plan on using ban pick cards?]

[Looking at the fact that you're only looking for the 10 Severus, it seems like you're a real person?]

[No lol you can tell just by looking at it that it's a bluff]

[Really lol You're the one who's really quick to indulge and then prepare for the sub character behind the scenes]

In the broadcast of Lee Kyung-bok that followed, Decibel showed herself preparing for the main character of the Serengeti Women's Division leader, Mom Queen.

[Mom Queen seems really confused right now lol]

[Really lol I alternate between my main and sub characters when broadcasting]

[But Mom Queen just needs to prepare for the jaguar, lol]

[So who will be banned and picked in the men's match?]

[Of course I have to ban shoulder rage lol]

Those who didn't know the details offered various theories. But there was one thing they all agreed on.

[Just one chance card is shaking things up so much!]

[Really lol First of all, holding the card is a psychological warfare game]

[It's best to win at anything lol]

[On the battlefield, victory is the only thing that matters.]

The mere fact that he had obtained a chance card gave Try a psychological advantage even during the practice period.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere of the Purge Day fan cafe was different from other communities.

[Share the free cheering prop avatar code!]

[Is it better to Q&A in a foreign language?]

[Anyone have the mask code for the Booster?]

[I made a cheering stick. How was it?]

[Can I go and blow a couple of jelly beans?]

[I wonder if a couple jellyfish will work lol]

Among the Try viewers, there are those who are strongly united in their fandom, and they found and shared prop avatars to use during cheering matches.

[All the cheering props are there]

[There is only a difference in quality, but there are not many types lol]

[A groundbreaking perfection – no props!]

[What are you doing, you idiots! Give me some ideas!]

But something left me with a sense of regret. Given this rare opportunity, I wanted to offer a more special cheer.

So the fans were putting their heads together and thinking about it.

[(Important!) Purple Day Support Guidelines]

A newly posted post caught the attention of fans. Comments quickly followed.

[-Kya hahaha, today is the day!]

[-A man who is good at cheering at a genetic level ㅎㄷㄷ]

[-Wow ㅋㅋ Yong-ui-ju only left out the purple bulletin board]

[-ㅋㅋㅋ That's right ㅋㅋㅋ I only posted on the Genome and Eclipse bulletin boards]

[-This guy is also a real think tank lol]

The publisher was none other than Genome.

Viewers who saw the content happily expressed their participation.

[-Can we surprise Godple, Imaringa?]

[-How do you hold back from being surprised by Godple? LOL]

[-If this works out, it'll be really awesome lol]

This time it was the viewers' turn to surprise him.

* * *

Late morning on the day of the competition, Lee Kyung-bok's studio.

Team Perfect started holding online meetings instead of offline ones.

“Well, the reason we decided to meet in the studio today is simple.”

Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly and spoke to everyone.

"I don't have any work to do today. You can just relax and watch the event."

The first to change their expressions were Cho Dae-han and Madman. They both smiled brightly, then glanced around and spoke.

“Excuse me, sir. Isn’t today your busiest day…?”

The two were fans, but they were also loyal employees.

Since it's a big event, the workload must be considerable. I was worried because I was both a huge fan and a company fan.

"That's okay. This broadcast will be simultaneously broadcast on Try North America's headquarters and the Japanese branch channel. It seems they've reached an agreement with Serengeti."

Park Joo-ho answered instead.

It was easier for him to explain since he knew all the employees' work schedules.

"Since it was originally broadcast on the official channel, Try was responsible for managing the chat window. However, with the decision to broadcast overseas, real-time interpretation and subtitles were to be provided. We decided to receive the translation script separately."

“Oh, then I really have nothing to do.”

Cho Dae-han agreed with him. However, the editorial team had a different opinion.

"I'm out of the question for now. I have some video editing to do."

Madman flinched at Choi Byeong-hun's words, but soon nodded.

“Oh, then I’ll help you too.”

At that sight, Lee Kyung-bok frowned slightly.

'No, this kid isn't clueless, is he?'

If Choi Byung-hoon had revealed that he was working, others would have felt burdened. Especially since they were on the same editorial team as Mad Men, they'd have to be careful.

“Can’t you rest for a day or so?”

"I think so too. Anyway, you're going to edit the video using the source code provided by Try, right? You'll have to start after the competition."

Park Joo-ho also agreed with him.

Choi Byeong-hun smiled at the words of his two friends.

"Of course that's true. But if you only think about the obvious, you can't call yourself a professional. I have plans for everything."

His answer made others blink. "A plan?" What can you do without a video source?

Choi Byeong-hun looked back at Madman and Jo Dae-han, as if he had already guessed the question.

“Both of you should go to the event stadium.”

"yes?"

“No, you said you had to edit the video?”

“Oh, so I have to extract the sauce.”

Choi Byeong-hun smiled and said to the two surprised people.

“What I want is a ‘fancam’.”

Park Joo-ho's eyes lit up at the keyword 'fancam'.

“Indeed…! That’s a really good idea.”

He was able to immediately grasp Choi Byeong-hun's intentions.

"The video of today's competition will probably be uploaded to Try Korea's YouTube channel anyway. It will inevitably be uploaded to PerTube later."

“Oh, right. I need time to edit.”

"Yes. Of course, there will be viewers who will wait for or watch our edited version, but watching the same thing twice is bound to lose interest."

“Oh, but if it’s a fancam…!”

Lee Kyung-bok also understood Choi Byeong-hun's intentions.

“It will contain a sense of realism that you can’t feel in the official video!”

"That's right. The footage from the audience's perspective is clearly different from the official footage. Even if you've seen the original footage, the fancams will still be fun to watch."

Unlike the clean and neatly edited footage, the fancam footage is much more raw. However, nothing can capture the atmosphere of the scene quite like it.

“Wow! As expected, you are the editor-in-chief!”

"Wow, why didn't I think of this? You sure have a lot of time on your hands."

Cho Dae-han and Madman also expressed their understanding and admiration. Choi Byung-hoon chuckled at the others' reactions.

"Ugh! Are you getting it now? When President Per thinks about broadcasting, I only think about the video!"

Everyone burst into laughter at his self-praise. Lee Gyeong-bok quickly sorted out the situation.

"Oh, then I'll take back what I said. It's unfortunate, but I have to go back on my word. You'll have to work hard today, too."

His words drew the attention of others.

Lee Kyung-bok said with a bright smile.

“I hope everyone enjoys the festival.”

That was today's task.

* * *

Early evening, event stadium.

Jeong So-yoon and the commentators bowed their heads toward the camera.

"Hello, viewers! This is Jeong So-yoon, the host of 'Let's Fight as a Set', the ultimate platform battle of all time!"

"A man who is biased at the genetic level! It's the genome!"

“It’s nice to see you again! I’m your commentator in the Serengeti!”

The chat window immediately responded to the lively greeting.

-Jeong-chae! Jeong-chae! Jeong-chae! Jeong-chae! Jeong-chae!

-What the f*ck is genetic level bias?

-Finally! Finally!

-5 days of solidified fun!

Jeong So-yoon continued the presentation with a smile.

"Now, the curtain has risen on the competition so many have been waiting for. The five days felt like five years."

“Yes. As each day passed, my anticipation grew.”

“The thing is, there’s no place in the community that isn’t talking about our set.”

"That's right. It's garnering such a lot of attention that it feels like it's not just a hot topic in the capital, but in South Korea as well."

As she spoke, the camera panned to reveal a panoramic view of the stadium. But the stands were empty.

"We appreciate the many people who have visited this stadium. To ensure smoother access, the organizers are currently organizing a waiting line. We ask for your understanding."

Viewer access was restricted to allow for sequential access. Genome and Doelka immediately agreed with Jeong So-yoon's explanation.

"If we just open the door now, the traffic will be no joke. Given the nature of fighting games, even a millisecond of delay can be fatal!"

"That's right! That really gives you a sense of the scale of this competition. I've commentated on Metal Punch competitions many times, but this is a first! As expected, collaboration between two major platforms is on a different scale!"

-That's true too lol

-There's lag in such an important competition?

-Then both platforms are doomed lol

-Thank goodness the chat room is open, Imari.

-You lasted 5 days, so you can't even last this? LOL

-If you don't want to wait, get out!

The viewers agreed. Jeong So-yoon, relieved by the chat window response, spoke again.

"Well, it's nice to chat amongst ourselves, but aren't there other people you viewers would most like to meet? While we wait for your connection, let's have a quick interview with the representatives of both teams! Shoulder and Purple!"

As she spoke, Lee Kyung-bok and her shoulder appeared in a halo of light. The two bowed slightly in greeting.

"Well, we've invited you two. Even I, a third-party member, was incredibly nervous. How must the two people in charge of the team be? Could you tell us a little about your feelings over the past five days?"

The first to receive the microphone was Shoulder. He turned to Lee Kyung-bok with an awkward smile.

"Wow, I really was very concerned about many things. I checked Purple's broadcast every day, and he was so consistent."

“Oh, right! Purple, you’ve been doing coaching broadcasts all along?”

"I think you've probably prepared something special. I'm really looking forward to seeing what it is."

After saying that, Shoulder handed the microphone over to Lee Kyung-bok.

“I think it’s a success just because you put so much effort into it.”

“Oh, does this mean that this was also a psychological warfare?”

"Yes, the fight has already begun. You'll soon find out what we've prepared."

Lee Kyung-bok smiled and turned his shoulder.

“And I, personally, am really looking forward to meeting you as a competitor.”

-Ah haha, you're a difficult expert, right?

-The team is a team, but I want to fight quickly, Imari ㅋㅋㅋ

-Let's try to stick our shoulders, godfather, and tongue together, right? LOL

-Upper Daejeon is a legend of invincibility! Anyway, it's a legend!

-It seems like it'll be really funㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Viewers also expressed their anticipation. Meanwhile, Jeong So-yoon nodded slightly.

"Yes, it's good. It's as wonderful as the long wait! I'll look forward to it. They say the queue is cleared now. We'll begin admittance now!"

As she spoke, a halo of light began to spread across the stands. Both Lee Kyung-bok and Goo-hye turned their attention.

"If you don't give us one more, we've blocked out the sound from the stands to ensure a smooth event. Once everyone has entered, the soundproofing will be removed. Please note."

Jeong So-yoon finished her explanation and immediately tilted her head.

“Oh, but there’s less purple than I expected? Are Serengeti viewers entering first?”

The stands were filling up quickly, but there were only a few people wearing purple.

No, rather, the other audience members said something to the person wearing purple and even changed their clothes.

While everyone was confused, one person stepped forward.

“That’s not it.”

The person who spoke like that was none other than Genome. Jeong So-yoon became even more curious.

'What have you prepared?'

I'd heard from the organizers, especially the Try staff, in advance. They told me not to panic, because Genome had prepared something.

“Ahem! Okay, then…”

Genome cleared his throat slightly. Then he took a deep breath.

“Remember Purple Dayeeeeee!”

I raised my voice at the top of my lungs.

The soundproofing only blocked the sounds from the stands, so the voices echoed throughout the stadium.

Everyone was startled by the sudden shout, but soon everyone opened their eyes wide.

“This is…”

"and…!"

The spectators who had been standing irregularly took their places and all focused their attention as if waiting for something.

Then, the moment the soundproof curtain disappeared, Genome raised his voice again.

“For the Purple!”

For purple.

“By the Purple!”

An event for the listeners.

As if in response to his command, a resounding response came from the stands. With that, the stands simultaneously erupted in a purple ripple.

We all started changing clothes together in accordance with the signal of the genome.

“This is it! Try Team! It’s an incredible performance from the start!”

Jeong So-yoon raised her voice in surprise.

"We've prepared well for the cheerleading event! Genom-nim is the cheerleader!"

If you look closely, there were some people who couldn't get the timing right. But what's the problem with that?

The stands were completely dyed purple.

-I really lost my unity lol

-I'll take a look at the entrance!

-Me too! Let me in too!

-How can 100,000 be paid right away?!

The stadium capacity is 100,000 people.

Viewers who were unable to connect due to overflowing capacity expressed envy.

"no…"

Lee Kyung-bok was speechless at the fans' performance. They were all wearing merchandise.

It was a completely unexpected gift.

'To cheer me on.'

Laughter spread across my face. I couldn't help but smile in this situation.

'So many people…'

He prepared it only for himself.

Everyone came together to support streamer Purple. When else would you experience something as amazing as this?

In particular, Lee Gyeong-bok's appreciation was different.

'It seems completely locked.'

The positive energy sensed through the device was truly overwhelming.

At least for now.

I was so convinced that I was the happiest person in the world.

'Does this make sense?'

The positions have completely changed.

If anyone needed to use Gemalcon right now, it was me.

Genome was satisfied after observing Lee Kyung-bok's expression.

'Honey, I'm really surprised.'

It was worth mobilizing the fans.

Seeing them so happy makes me feel confident that I made the right decision in planning the performance.

Genome shouted again with all his might.

“Who are we!?”

This was the climax of the performance.

The answer to his question was so shocking that it shook the stadium.

“Ow! Ah! Puffeeeeeeeeeeel!”

The preparation period was short, as it was a surprise. Therefore, it had to convey a concise and easily understandable message.

The overwhelming momentum was so overwhelming that not only the shoulders but also the Serengeti viewers were dumbfounded.

“I really appreciate it…”

It was the moment when Lee Gyeong-bok was moved and wanted to express his gratitude.

"Okay! This concludes the performance I've prepared!"

Genome smiled and flicked his hand. The performance he had envisioned was over.

“From now on!”

Soon, the audience began to take out the cheering props they had prepared.

“This is cheering prepared by the fans themselves!”

The cheering match is now starting.

There was another performance prepared by the fans.

325 – Who Are We? (2)

The Fuzzy Day fan cafe was the place where Lee Kyung-bok's fans gathered the most because of its convenience.

However, the fan cafe was a gathering place created after the crew was formed. Existing fans originally had their own community.

Each fan had their own favorite game, and they became fans after seeing Lee Kyung-bok play that game.

[Something! Something fresh is needed.]

[Really lol, aren't other communities also preparing for this?]

[Imari, we need something of our own to show Godple]

Because of this, each gaming community was busy preparing for support. Fans who participated in both fan cafes and online communities brought Genome's support plans to their communities.

[Hahaha this would be awesome if you saw it in person]

[Easy, short, impactful, lol]

[The guy is really smart lol]

[Oh, but this doesn't have the community characteristics!]

It was natural to join Genome's plan, but community users weren't satisfied with that.

They wanted to reveal more about the games they liked and thank Lee Kyung-bok for enjoying them.

[If you get Godple Coins, you have to give something back]

[Thanks to this, the influx has increased, Imariya]

[If a real god player does it, he'll be resurrected like a dog lol]

For those who are passionate about games, the game's reputation is like their own reputation.

[How about we just follow Godple?]

After much thought, someone came up with an idea.

[Of course, I'm not saying you should become a hawk

The intelligence of the bastards is an issue lol

If you look at the genome plan, it ends with 'We Are Purple', right?

How about preparing a prop that represents our game and showing it to Godple?

But that doesn't mean it's a complete cosplay

[It has to be a perfect hoodie to be unified, so how about matching it with something like a weapon or accessory?]

It wasn't a great idea.

[-Are you a genius?]

[-Oh lol this looks okay]

[-Ah haha, originally, fashion is all about the points]

[-Fashion? Are you talking about passion?]

[-Then what kind of awesome is it?]

[-Ool-ke native pronunciation]

[-Native pronunciation ㅇㅈㄹ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

The idea was well-received and was even exported to various communities.

* * *

Back to the present, the stadium.

Jeong So-yoon took a deep breath as she looked at the audience.

“Oh, this is amazing! The props you prepared are divided into each section!?”

At her words, the camera zoomed in on the crowd. Fans stood at attention as their images appeared on the scoreboard.

“One, two!”

They put on their police hats and chanted commands. Then they all saluted and raised their voices.

“Salute to President Ba!”

Everyone could identify them just by the props they had prepared and their shouts.

-What is the unity of the Baboongis?

-Kya haha, where are you going if you don't have a fundamental understanding?

-Oh my gosh, why is there a thief?

-Bakreet is king lol

-I've been a fan of Godful since its debut.

They were fans of Biocrisis, the game that could be considered Lee Kyung-bok's debut stage.

If we had to be specific, they were true fans who belonged to the old-timers among the fans.

Soon the camera moved to the side.

“Wow! It’s Purge Day!”

“Purge day! Purge day!”

Fans in the next section immediately chanted "Purge Day" as soon as they saw themselves on the scoreboard.

They were all wearing frying pans and helmets.

“Ah, you’re definitely a Gunner Ground fan! Purple-nim, you’re really good at Gunner Ground!”

"I'm a bit proud of this, isn't it? Isn't it all thanks to me that Purple-nim enjoys playing Giant?"

Genome stepped forward and commented. Laughter immediately spread throughout the chatroom.

-Oh my gosh, you were just a bus passenger!

-That bastard is acting up again!

-King! You're going to show off somehow!

-Still, the name Fuzzy Day is really catchy lol

As soon as the commentary ended, the fans in the next area were revealed.

They were holding small dolls and swords, but they were hard to see, so the camera had to get closer.

That doll is it.

“The only sword! The only sword!”

“Elden Soul is a martial arts game!”

It was a mini version of Alicia, the witch from Elden Soul. Fans' cries quickly filled the chatroom.

-Elbungiesㅋㅋㅋ They're here for martial artsㅋㅋㅋ

-I miss you, Mini.

-???: Broken one, can you hear me?

-Alicia: Why aren't you coming back?

-The only true sword is a legend…

-Every time I see the perfect article, I think of Godpleㅋㅋㅋ

-The Aiden boss fight was really cool lol

As viewers reminisced about the past, the cameras rolled. This time, there were two types of fans mixed together.

One side had a monitor head, the other had a purple coat and a silver wig.

“Are there any fans who haven’t tried Purple Coin?!”

“Perfect voice! You’re the best!”

They were fans of the escape games Escapers and Demon Must Cry. Perhaps because their fan bases were smaller than those of other games, they shared the same area.

-Ah haha thanks to Godple, these are the games that have really become popular?

-Escapers really pulled off the effect lol

-Demerk was a really old game, but it became popular right away, right?

– Seriously ㅋㅋㅋ It was so funny to see the Hakkodas take out the console version ㅋㅋ

Soon, the camera focused on the center of the stands, the area with the most fans.

Black masks with shurikens, crowns with spears, green aura swords, blue soul swords, etc. Unlike other fans, their outfits were not unified.

But rather, it made it even clearer which game I was a fan of.

“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!”

“Upper is science!”

The fans of Mystic League, all of the props were from champions that Lee Kyung-bok played for.

-Oh really, I should be there!

-To be honest, the competition for that position was really fierce lol

-Ah haha, even connecting requires psychological warfare haha

-This is going to be so much fun ㅅㅂ

-Wanna be honest, I'm so jealous

The chat room also had a large number of Mystic League fans, a figure that mirrored the game's popularity.

Finally, the camera arrived at the final area. As if they had been waiting, the fans flashed their props.

They were carrying unusually long-barreled pistols with detective badges.

“Father!”

“Farm work is so hard!”

Lee Kyung-bok burst into laughter at their cries. The viewers did the same.

-Oh my gosh lol it wasn't Godple but Billy

-???: My father left the farm and never returned.

-I left everything to my son, Imari haha

-That modified pistol is really cool lol

-What the heck ㅋㅋㅋ Everyone holds it with both hands, but how did you hold it with one hand?

-Godple can also use a one-handed shotgun lol

The camera, which had quickly scanned the audience, turned back to the stage.

"Ah, what an impressive cheer! It seems like a performance worthy of the 'We are Purple' shout at the end. I think it's because Purple is a comprehensive game streamer that he was able to come out."

Jeong So-yoon opened her mouth as if she had been waiting for him.

"But what's truly amazing to me is Purple's career? You've only been on the air for three months, and you're almost in your fourth month, and yet you're receiving so much love? It's not even a year, or even half a year, but a quarter! A quarter!"

“Ah, since I’ve reached this level, I think I can run as a representative of Try.”

Genome smiled and accepted the comment as if he was more proud of himself.

"As you can see, our Tri looks completely dominant in the cheerleading match. Perhaps Serengeti has prepared something as well?"

When he asked with a triumphant air, the eyes of the people on his shoulders turned to him. However, the Serengeti stands remained silent.

Some were wearing green, but not many.

-Oh my gosh, this is too much!

-???: Serengeti can tease Try, but Try can't. That's too much, right?

-What the heck ㅋㅋ The meme will come out right away ㅋㅋ

-This is my fault lol

-???: You killed him…

The contrasting atmosphere made viewers playfully mock Genome.

Lee Kyung-bok smiled at him and was overcome with emotion.

'I can't express my gratitude in words.'

A favor for a favor.

Lee Kyung-bok wanted to somehow repay the support his fans had given him. He was struggling to find a way to do so.

“Purple, may I ask you a favor?”

"yes?"

His shoulder came close to mine and he whispered softly.

While the two were talking, Jeong So-yoon gave a short cough.

"Okay, good. Now that we've entered the stadium, let's get on with the main event…"

The atmospheres of the two teams were starkly contrasting. However, if one side were to be biased, the event would face difficulties.

So she quickly tried to change the mood by moving on with the game.

“Ah, Caster Jeong So-yoon!”

But the attempt was put on hold by a shoulder restraint. Jeong So-yoon turned to him, her eyes wide.

“I have an impromptu suggestion to make.”

“A suggestion?”

The crowd, once filled with cheers and commotion, gradually quieted down. As attention turned to him, Shoulder smiled and spoke.

"First of all, I really enjoyed Tri's cheering. It was truly impressive. But Serengeti has something to show, too."

“Oh, did Serengeti prepare anything too…?”

Jeong So-yoon cautiously asked back, observing the situation. Judging by the reaction of the Serengeti crowd, it was clear that no special preparation had been made.

The shoulders were still proud.

"Cheering doesn't necessarily have to be done by the audience. That's a prejudice!"

“Huh? Then…”

"This time, as the representative, I'd like to cheer on the spectators who have come all the way here. By doing so, I'll prove that choosing the Serengeti was the right choice!"

“Ah, Mr. Shoulder, the audience? This is a new approach!?”

Cheer up in reverse?

Jeong So-yoon's eyes widened, as did everyone else present.

Except for one person, Lee Kyung-bok, who had previously talked to Shoulder.

"I also wanted to express my gratitude to those who supported me. So, I'm going to try to continue this momentum with you, Shoulder."

“Huh? Is Purple-nim joining us too?”

Lee Kyung-bok's subsequent words only deepened the questions in everyone's minds. What else could these two have planned in the meantime?

Shoulder and Lee Kyung-bok smiled, as if they were pleased with the reaction.

“How should I explain this…”

“How about introducing it like this?”

Lee Kyung-bok said while looking at the camera.

“You can think of this as a ‘teaser’ for today’s main event.”

* * *

Jeong So-yoon and the commentators did not hide their anticipation as they looked at the stage.

"Okay, Shoulder and Purple are both ready. I never imagined I'd see this so soon!"

Shoulder and Lee Kyung-bok were facing each other on stage.

"What I'm about to show you this time isn't a simple sparring match. As you can see, Shoulder-nim is wearing protective gloves, while Purple-nim is holding a pistol in one hand and a shuriken in the other! Both are wielding their primary weapons!"

"Yes, that's right. You could say it's a showdown between a pure fighting gamer and a hardcore gamer. It's not a battle between Metal Punch characters, but pure physicality! I think it'll be a chance to see how both players are performing."

I immediately got the message that it would work with Genome.

A match based on experience playing games without relying on skill, to check condition and refresh the mood.

This is exactly what Shoulder and Lee Kyung-bok were discussing.

"I understand why both fighters called it a 'teaser.' It's not everything we're showing here, but depending on their skill level, it could give us a glimpse into what the main event, the Upper Division, will be like!"

Jeong So-yoon took a deep breath after organizing her comments.

“Then let’s get started!”

Her words echoed through the air, and both men reacted immediately.

“What an incredible reaction speed!”

“Purple player shot!”

“Oh my goodness! It’s so easy to block!”

Lee Kyung-bok pulled the trigger as he ran. The gunshot rang out, but the only response was the sound of metal.

It was thanks to the bullets deflected by the protective glove on his shoulder.

“It was a snap!”

The distance between them quickly narrowed. Lee Gyeong-bok fired again, but the bullet missed.

The shoulder pushed the barrel to the side, changing its trajectory and creating an opportunity for a counterattack.

But Lee Gyeong-bok was not easily defeated either.

“The speed is incredible!”

“Shoulder player counterattack!”

“I deflect it with my shuriken!”

A sharp, metallic clang rang out as the shuriken and the glove collided. Lee Kyung-bok deflected the punch and immediately thrust his shuriken through the gap created.

But before the sword could reach him, the shuriken suddenly stopped. A shoulder grabbed Lee Gyeong-bok's wrist, twisting it sideways and tripping him up.

The attack was immediately reversed, but Lee Kyung-bok remained unfazed. Instead of resisting the force, he kicked off the ground and tumbled back into position.

As soon as he landed, the aimed gun fired again.

“Help the purple player!

“I shot it!”

“The commentary is going at a speed that it can’t keep up with!”

It was a close-range shot, but once again, I missed. My shoulder narrowly avoided it thanks to a momentary turn of my head.

-????????

-This is the same person as me?

-What? Are you broadcasting at double speed?

-What the heck;;; Wasn't this done on the spot?

-Right? LOL. Isn't that something you planned out in advance?

-No lol even if we all work together it'll be hard to do this ㅅㅂ

-Why are you guys such monsters!

-ㅁㅊ Instead of metal punch, why don't we just compete like this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The thrilling transitions between offense and defense in every match and the optimized movements without any unnecessary details are endless.

Exclamations erupted from the audience and even the chatroom. The battle was so intense that I forgot to even breathe.

“Both of us are going!”

“Cross Counterattack!”

“It’s sooo …

The two ended up fighting with each other, throwing their fists and shurikens.

Everyone held their breath as if a mute button had been pressed.

The scoreboard showed a glove and shuriken stopped right in front of the two people's faces.

And both of them were smiling brightly as if they were having fun.

“It seems like there are no problems with your condition.”

Lee Kyung-bok was the first to speak. The corners of his mouth rose even higher.

"Can it get any better than this? I'm in perfect condition. I think Purple feels the same way, too."

"I'm in perfect condition. I'm really looking forward to the match."

After that brief exchange, the two men put away their weapons. Only then did gasps erupt from here and there.

"Ah! Here, here, it all ends like this! It was a truly breathtaking competition!"

Jeong So-yoon tactfully summarized the situation with a comment. Genome exaggeratedly responded, as if he found the comment ridiculous.

"No, isn't this too much? This is really a teaser!? If you do this, it's really going to be difficult!"

"Ah, I can't help but agree with this. Showing such a wonderful sight and then waiting until the very end? This is truly vicious, vicious!"

Laughter spread throughout the audience and even in the chat room.

-Really lol this is crazy lol

-Wow, I should have seen this coming.

-Upper Daejeon is already a legend just from the teaser…

-If the teaser is legendary, then this match will probably be legendary ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Somehow! King! I'll make you watch it till the end!

-Who would believe me if I said I ad-libbed this? LOL

-Even the teasers for super fun events are fun, isn't that common sense?

The atmosphere quickly heated up, and a satisfied smile formed on his shoulders. He then whispered to Lee Kyung-bok.

"Thanks to you, the atmosphere is lively for both of us. Thank you for hanging out with us."

"Oh, no. I was also thinking about the reaction. I'm glad everyone seems satisfied."

Shoulder changed the stagnant atmosphere of Serengeti and Lee Kyung-bok gave satisfaction to the fans.

It was literally a 'win-win' situation.

Soon the two men shook hands briefly.

At that sight, loud cheers erupted from the audience.

"Well, as expected, you're both qualified to represent the platform! I think this is where you both proved your worth! But now that I think about it, I have another thought."

“Oh, what do you think?”

“Both Shoulder and Purple came forward as platform representatives, but now that I look at them, I think they could confidently come forward as representatives of Korea.”

She, too, had read their intentions. Now was not the time to compare platforms, but to raise the tension overall.

And as intended, the excitement in the stadium grew stronger.

-Ah haha, as expected from Soyun!

-Caster Jam, where are you going? LOL

-Jeong-chae! Jeong-chae! Jeong-chae! Jeong-chae! Jeong-chae!

-You're hitting the facts here lol

-Imari, your shoulders and god-like figure are truly unmatched no matter where you put them.

Among the viewers watching from beyond the screen, there was no one who disagreed.

And the concept of fun.

-With this level of performance, overseas broadcast channels must have been in an uproar?

-If you don't find this funny, you're not human. LOL

-Now it's not a nationality but a planetary unit? LOL

-But it's true, but it's also a trap lol

-Ah haha I'm curious so I'll go check it out

It was an element that all of humanity felt in common.
