The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 326

Episode 326 – Just as I learned (1)

Try North America broadcast channel.

The chat window was filled with surprised face emoticons and smiling furry emoticons.

-WTF!? This is seriously amazing!

-I literally got goosebumps! I didn't know fans could be so cooperative!

-Damn! This is why we made group uniforms!

-lol, if someone who doesn't know sees it, they might mistake it for North Korea?

-Nah, North Korea doesn't even have enough money to buy clothes.

It was an admiration for the simultaneous costume change performance that unfolded in the audience stands.

-You paraphrased Lincoln's words appropriately! XD

-GENOME? That guy made that cheering slogan?

-Yup! That's really clever! You even used the rhyme between 'Purple' and 'People'!

-Yeah, that was a really good punchline!

Moreover, the performance was well-received because the audience's cheering chants were familiar to North American viewers.

-At first, I thought it was discrimination because I couldn't access the stadium, but now it's different!

-Delay is a big problem in any game.

-That's right! If we had allowed overseas access, the event would have been ruined!

-Well, that's true, but it would have been terrible if I had been in the stands without knowing anything!

-What the… Just imagining it would be really awkward

-It's easier to look through the screen =)

That was the moment when I thought the performance was over.

<The fans have prepared a cheer. It begins.>

As Genome spoke, the interpreter conveyed his meaning, and question marks filled the chat window.

What else are we doing here?

-Wow, this is really impressive!?

-There are so many fans for this game?

-WTF? Purple didn't just create Mimicry!?

-Holy shit! This guy was the perfect knight!? On Reddit, it was Purple?!

When fans revealed props that showed their affiliation, overseas fighting gamers expressed surprise.

Those who were already fans of Lee Kyung-bok laughed and chatted.

-lol, if you're not familiar with Korean abbreviations, it can be confusing.

-Right, even on Reddit, they mixed up 'Perfectplay' and 'Purple'

-Guys, he's also the one who saw the hidden ending of Biocrisis!

-That's not all! Purple is the unofficial world champion in RDR speedrunning!

-Do you know that the voice pack sold as DLC by DMC is his?

Even the gamers laughed at the flood of reports.

-I can't believe it! I knew it was great, but I didn't know it was this bad!

-I knew it! There's no way anyone would admit to having shoulders like that!

-He deserves to wear the name 'Perfectplay' with pride.

While I was satisfied with that, the atmosphere changed.

"It's amazing. It's only been three months since he started broadcasting?! It'll soon be four months! It's not even a year, it's a quarter! His popularity is truly incredible!"

This time, it was because of Jeong So-yoon's words. Even the calm interpreter raised his voice in surprise.

-What? What?! 3 months?!

-Are you having trouble interpreting right now?

-lol! No way! The pronunciation of 'Year' and 'Quarter' are completely different!

-That's a proper translation. Purple is a rookie in the streaming industry!

-Yup! That's what a 'Perfect-Newbie' is!

The atmosphere in the chat room became even more lively.

-It hasn't been long since the broadcast started, but every moment is a series of surprises.

Although each person was busy expressing their own feelings, there was something they all had in common.

-lol, I'm glad I watched the broadcast!

-This is the best choice this month!

It was an excellent choice to watch this broadcast.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the Japanese broadcast channel was a little different.

-Eeeee-! I feel like crying! This performance is so amazing!

-Korean fans! This is the best!

– I also felt happy because I could feel Purple's laughter and emotion.

-What should I say? It feels like I've been rewarded for Mr. Purple's efforts. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold it in and just burst into tears.

-Hey, hey, Try Japan! This is too much! Why can't we fit in there!

Lee Kyung-bok was more well-known among Japanese viewers than among North American viewers.

Not only did it become a hot topic on Twitter, but it also became familiar thanks to Triple and Yattaman's broadcasts. Everyone knew about Lee Kyung-bok's accomplishments.

The reason the chat window of the Japanese broadcast channel was in an uproar was another reason.

-Hey hey hey, is this real!

-Wow, it started all of a sudden!

-Is this a cartoon? An animation? This kind of movement is absolutely impossible.

-Eh-? Skill? No, no, it's not a skill? You're saying you move like this yourself? Ehhhhhh-!?

It was a contest that Lee Kyung-bok and Gyeore had impromptu proposed. The chat room was thrown into shock by their clash.

-Wow! It was so amazing that my eyes got blurry.

-These bastards www cause dry eye www

-Ah, but you can't just close your eyes to this? You'll absolutely regret it if you miss it!

-Etto, Triple C… I had no choice but to lose…

-Do superhuman gamma rays come out in Korea?

The chatroom was filled with admiration for the skill displayed by the two. But that was short-lived. As soon as the match ended, the atmosphere in the chatroom changed.

-??????

-Why? Why are you stopping here?!

-Huh? Really? Was this really a teaser?

-Wow, this is bad! It's too bad! This is total torture!

-Well, it's better than anime that requires waiting until next week, right? I'm a seasoned person, so I can wait (laughs).

-Ah, you're the one who endured the 'Hunter X Huntress' hiatus? I'll wait until the end!

-You guys, are you trained to wait through manga and anime?

-As expected, ninjas didn't come from Japan for nothing.

The chat room was filled with regret. But they took the situation positively.

-Well, isn't it better than the North American channel? It'll probably be harder to wait there because of the time difference, right?

-Wow! It's a good thing it's close to Korea!

Since the time zone was the same as Korea, it was more convenient for Japanese viewers to watch the broadcast.

Jeong So-yoon and the commentators prepared for the main match. Before it began, Jeong So-yoon opened her mouth.

"Okay, now it's time for the first round! It's time to start the women's competition. But before that, there's something we need to briefly touch on."

She quickly turned her head. At the end of her gaze was the question, "Will it work?"

“Originally, Mr. Goeun was going to be the narrator, and Mr. Gyeol-kka was going to be the assistant narrator, right? But instead of Mr. Goeun, Mr. Gyeol-kka is here.”

“Oh, yes. This time, Mr. Shoulder has entrusted me with the full commentary.”

Genome interrupted as if he had been waiting for an answer to whether it would work.

"Oh, that makes sense. Didn't you have a chance to face Purple on the spot, Mr. Shoulder? He even commentated, and he felt like he was a formidable opponent!"

"It might be more because of what Genome said. Perhaps you thought my simpler commentary would be more appropriate for this competition than a detailed, frame-by-frame analysis."

Doelkaga immediately responded. But Genome didn't back down easily.

“Ah, is this what you mean, sir? Sir, you have a gentlemanly side, taking my words to heart.”

"yes?"

When Doelka was shocked, laughter spread throughout the chat window.

-Oh my gosh, this material for causing trouble never dries up, lol

-This very idea reveals the inner self of this idiot, Imari.

-Really ㅋㅋ That ugly guy only sees ugly things ㅋㅋㅋ

-You really are so twisted!

-A man who turns things around on a genetic level

At this, Jeong So-yoon drew attention with a cough and intervened.

"Well, don't take jokes too seriously. What matters is that you, Mr. Dol-ka, provide good commentary! And that means we can't keep the players waiting any longer! If they wait too long, it could affect the outcome of the match!"

As if waiting for her words, the screen on the scoreboard changed.

[Sunbong – <Gyurani> VS <Maktasuni]

As everyone turned their attention to him, Jeong So-yoon raised her voice energetically.

"You've waited! A representative match between the two platforms! The first match of 'Let's Fight as a Set' is about to begin. These two, Gyurani and Maktasuni, are ready for a showdown!"

The screen then split into two, showing the two teams' waiting rooms. Each room was occupied not only by the players, but also by the team's representative, Lee Kyung-bok, and others.

"Ah, so that explains why Mr. Shoulder didn't do the commentary! Both Mr. Shoulder and Mr. Purple prepared to coach their teammates ahead of the match!"

“Oh, these kinds of pictures aren’t common at Metal Punch competitions, are they?”

“That’s right. In previous competitions, all the participants were your rivals.”

Genome agreed with him, but soon returned to his biased commentary.

"But I doubt Mr. Shoulder is really good at coaching. Coaching at eye level is quite difficult, isn't it?"

As expected, the order was genome first.

"Of course, our Purple has already proven it, so there's no problem. This year's rookie, Decibel, is living proof!"

Do-kka rolled his eyes in surprise at those words.

“Genome-nim just mentioned eye-level coaching, but isn’t that eye-level gap also an important factor?”

After thinking for a moment, he launched a counterattack.

"Our Serengeti athletes have a solid foundation, don't they? The more you know, the easier it is to understand. I think Genom's boasting about his excellent coaching at eye level is because he thinks the Tri team's foundational skills are lacking."

The chat window also reacted immediately to the clash between the two commentators.

-What the heck, is that okay to say?

-The more I hang out with that rat, the more poisonous I become. LOL

-Aren't you raising them too strongly? LOL

-I'm going to corrupt you to become a bastard!

-???: Drink the scream…!

-That's why they say you have to make good friends, Imari.

-Because of that, the biased commentary has become stronger?

– Seriously ㅋㅋ Where did you go while you were watching me ㅋㅋㅋ

Jeong So-yoon felt the same way as the viewers. Her eyes widened, wondering if it would work, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Well, coaching is only an afterthought! What matters is the players, and their skills! Now that we're all set, it's time to choose your characters!"

Along with that, a list of characters appeared on the scoreboard. However, unlike the usual selection screen, the character slots for both teams were marked with a '?'

"Well, we have no idea which character each player has chosen. Once both players have chosen their characters, they'll be revealed simultaneously. Is there anything else we should pay attention to?"

"Yes, that's right! It's about whether or not our team uses the ban/pick cards we've secured."

"I don't see any changes in the character select screen right now. I don't think any ban/pick cards have been taken out."

Jeong So-yoon nodded at the two commentators' words. Soon, character selection was complete.

"Oh, the game will proceed without Chance Cards! But who knows, there might not be any cards until the very end? Well, let's check out the two players' choices!"

"Player Gyurani, it's Philip Firebird! Ah, you're playing as the main character!"

"The last player is Doctor Ace! This one is the same! He's the main character!"

Both sides chose confident characters. The commentators assessed the situation with serious expressions.

"This way, there's no other factor involved. It becomes a pure battle of skill!"

"Yes, that's right. This is the historic first match of the set, isn't it? I look forward to seeing both players show off their best skills!"

Jeong So-yoon said with a satisfied expression.

"Good! Then the long-awaited first match begins now!"

Tri-Team waiting room.

Maktasuni was lightly stretching her body as if trying to relieve tension.

“Sister, if you just show your true skills, you’ll definitely win!”

“Just spread it out as usual. You have to make sure you get a good portion.”

Decibel and Hasoyeon offered her encouragement. Maktasun smiled at her younger siblings' words.

“Oh, of course! My husband will be watching, so how could I lose?”

She added with a playful smile.

"Guys, isn't this all you're going to do? You're going to win the mid-level matches, too? Since you're getting married first, you're going to be taking care of more, so don't be too resentful, right?"

Everyone laughed as if they had already won the first match.

“Because if you’re the youngest, you can do it well enough.”

“Oh, I feel so reassured when even Purple says that.”

Lee Kyung-bok laughed at that and added a word.

"Well, I was wondering if I should tell you. If you have time, I think it would be good if you could just focus on one thing."

“Is there one?”

Everyone's eyes turned to him. Lee Kyung-bok raised his hand and pointed to the left.

"When dodging by moving sideways during a match, try aiming to the left. This won't conflict with your experience, even Maknu."

"Oh my? A one-point lesson, or something like that? But why the left?"

Maktasuni asked him in surprise. Lee Gyeongbok opened his lips to answer.

A flash of light appeared before my eyes and the scenery changed.

“Oh my, the timing is so off.”

She was beamed from the waiting room to the stage. She had already transformed into Doctor Ace.

She took a stance, looking at her opponent, Gyurani, across from her.

A familiar voice is heard along with it.

As the fight was declared, cheers from the stands filled the stadium.

Both players immediately closed the distance.

“It has begun!”

“Both players are starting a light exploration battle!”

"Ah, as expected, they're the Golden Troupe players! Despite their frugal hands, they're quite fast!"

Since they were of the same rank, their skills were similar. They briefly exploited each other's weaknesses.

"Player Gyurani! Let's attack by surprise!"

“Oh, but that won’t do! Our youngest sister doesn’t have much time left!?”

"I was guarded, but it was a good try! If this continues, I'll have to be conscious of it from now on!?"

The commentators continued their explanations in a tense tone. However, Maktasoon's ears were completely deaf.

'It's easy to stop, but…'

Guarding was the best option for a stable response. However, to maintain control, evasion and counterattack were necessary.

'Let's proceed cautiously for now.'

There was no need to overdo it from the first round. And strategically, any hasty attempts were forbidden.

'I need to get him used to the guard.'

She blocked several of Gyurani's attacks, making her opponent recognize the pattern.

'This time it's a counterattack.'

Maktasuni took a slight step forward, creating distance between them. This was to encourage Gyurani to use her skill again.

‘Avoid here…!’

As Gyurani approached, he pulled his arm back. Maktasuni pretended to raise his guard and prepared to move sideways.

Normally, I would have habitually avoided it by turning to the right.

'Look to the left.'

Lee Kyung-bok's advice flashed through my mind. Why was it on the left?

Gyurani is right-handed.

From the last attacker's perspective, the direction the punch was coming from was the left. Therefore, the easier side to dodge was the open right side.

She hesitated for a moment, but then made a decision.

'There must be a reason!'

Normally, I would have avoided it to the right as I usually do. But this time, it was different.

All the players, including her, watched the opening in the waiting room.

After the cheering ended, I couldn't help but believe the martial arts Lee Kyung-bok displayed while competing with his shoulder.

“Ah! Horizontal movement!”

“I dodged it!”

“Ah, this is…!”

Gyurani's fist literally passed right before his eyes. Maktasuni, who caught the flank precariously, glared.

'This is it!'

Skills aren't just about attacking. The thrusting arms and legs need to return to their original positions. And even that recovery motion takes time.

'There's a gap.'

If she had dodged to the right, Gyurani would have been able to restrain her with his left hand.

But now it was different. Gyurani's right hand, which had struck the air, was folded again, and there was no way to block Maktasuni's attack in the meantime.

She had the skills to not miss that opportunity.

“Ah! The last hitter is a player whoa whoa!”

“Shootupper! It’s in! I’m floating in the air!”

“This is fatal!”

With a mechanical click, the suit's elbow opened and a blue propellant was released.

The fist, which had risen with that momentum, lifted Gyurani into the air.

Excited voices erupted from the commentators.

“If I do this, I’ll immediately start an air combo!?”

“Okay! Here comes Maknu’s signature!”

Genome raised his voice excitedly, but Dokkae just chose to keep his mouth shut.

“All the audience, cheer together!”

Maktasuni entered the command with a bright smile, along with Genome's voice.

The suit opened and a mechanical arm emerged, rushing towards the floating Gyurani.

And the stadium is full.

“Squid squid! Squid girl!”

The crowd's roar echoed.

Her signature move, a series of squid-like mechanical arm strikes, earned her the nickname "Squid Woman."

"It's a complete clean hit! Kyurani's stamina is rapidly decreasing! Oh, this is big! It's really big!"

“I don’t know yet! It’s not over yet!?”

To the question of whether it would work, Genome replied teasingly.

“Don’t you know?! Are you the only one who doesn’t know? We all know!”

-Really ㅋㅋㅋ Even though you're on our side, you still want to eat honey chestnuts ㅋㅋ

-Oh my gosh lol Don't turn me into a villain lol

-Ah haha but what can I do if it's true!

-What is this girl group chanting? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The famous scene comes out right away lol

It was clear to anyone that Maktasoon had the upper hand.
