Episode 173 – Fate (1)
After the first game, Team Purge Day continued their winning streak. It was a successful merger that was hard to believe was their first match in the Mystic League.
After Team Purge Day's debut broadcast ended like that.
[Breaking News] Black Company Purple Listed and Hitting the Upper Limit (999+)]
[If you envy that ugly guy, you should be jealous of him (999+)]
[I am a supporter who has ridden the Zero Back Bus (with certification) (941)]
[The only true king of the Mystic League is Perzan! (932)]
[I really believe in Purge Day ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (871)]
The Mystic League community was abuzz with stories about the games. All of the games were great, but there was one game that everyone voted the best.
[From now on, Ragnell's counter pick is Barzan lol (999+)]
[Analysis of the Ferzan-style moveset build (999+)]
[Kajing's New Paradigm (999+)]
[The ending after being beaten lol (999+)]
[Perfect Barzan VS Fullcon Elephant.avi (999+)]
The very first game.
Among them, it was a match against Tier One pro-gamer Elephant.
[No, it's a 3:7 win rate, how can you win this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
That too, defeating Ragnell controlled by Elephant lol
lol
Godple seems to be a true champion rework master, including Perfect Yami ㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Rework okay lol]
[But the level of rework is right, lol]
[Rework (pilot change)]
[You're completely different from the Babung I knew, lol]
[MP.GG What the heck is Big Data! He has fuzzy intelligence!]
[-Where on earth did you learn spearmanship?]
[I've never played a character that uses a spear before lol]
[I'm seriously so surprised lol I just became an expert right away]
[Nah, that's 'Perfect Master']
Even though it's her first time playing the champion, she shows skilled play and overcoming counters.
[Analysis is bullshit
Don't follow me because I can only do godflip, you s**t
In ranked games, all the trolls who build Barzan move speed items are reported and stuffed. Seriously]
[-fishing rod]
[-Ah lol I get really pissed off when I think about people who would imitate Perzan]
[-Are you dizzy thinking about the bumblebees coming up again?]
[-???: That bird is a harmful bird]
A completely different item build than before.
[It's rare to find a real jungler though lol
This is the first time I've seen politics like this.
No;; How did you eat all the creeps in that short time?
It was a really stupid play lol]
[-Monopoly in the Jungle!]
[N forced herbivorous meta lol]
[Elephants are herbivores, right?]
[Reason for extinction) Purple]
[N King, this is really Godple's fault lol]
[Crownship Ceremony: Isn't it like seeing a 1:1 guaranteed kill with the buff or just locking them up and seeing the teammates escape?
Wow lol If you're at least fuzzy, you can use the Barzan Palace like that
It's really different when you play with Godple, ㅅㅂ]
[-What the hell is this title? LOL]
[The way he thinks about using the bow like that is genius lol]
[ㄴ3:1 It's amazing that he held out, but he killed 2 people in the process lol]
[I found the escaped elephant more fascinating lol]
[A real pro is a pro lol]
The success of a strategy that seemed bold or even reckless against professional gamers.
[How can a match of this quality take place in a competition that isn't even a professional one?
I've been watching Elephant for a long time and now he's in top form ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It's a shame that Elephant lost this time, but I think this is a chance to gain experience and explode with potential ㅋㅋㅋ]
[-He was a legend right from the first game lol]
[As soon as the two of them get together, the genre changes f*ck]
[Nah lol this is really heaven]
[Heaven = Diamond]
[Oh my, you guys are acting up again?]
[1:1 Mid-bread hot?]
Above all, the riveting match between the two players drew attention.

The community was so heated, but sometimes that enthusiasm could become a precursor to an explosion.
[It's not like Elephant was pushed back in terms of skill (999+)]
At the center of it all was one post.
[Don't all those who see elephants know?
Seriously, elephant condition has been really bad lately.
I'm stuck at the bottom of the second division right now because of that damn slump syndrome and I can't get back up. What the fu*k, I'm so frustrated that I'm falling behind. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
But why are there so many newbies who are like, "Oh my god, I lost another game"?
Honestly, is the Mystic League decided by one game? Or is it decided by a 1:1 match?
It's a team game to begin with, so aren't those who try to bring down elephants just certifying their ignorance?]
The gist of the story was that Elephant's skills cannot be underestimated based on this game alone.
[-Really ㅋㅋ I played with people I've never seen before in free rank]
[-Comparing them to Purple, who came as a team, is nonsense, f*ck, lol]
[-Ah haha finally Mijalal has appeared]
[-I also looked at the community atmosphere and thought, is this right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
However, the tone was a bit strong. Comments were left by people who agreed with the opinion or those who wanted to cause trouble, despite the intention.
[-I know, lol]
[- Kingjik Elephant's condition is really bad, but you didn't watch the clip until the end?]
[-Really ㅋㅋ I got a full control in the second half]
[-What the ㅋㅋㅋ If you want to match the sum, Fuzzy Day was also the first ranked game]
[-not;; why is everyone so angry?]
Since the post was against the flow, rebuttals were quickly posted.
[-I didn't intend to compare, but after reading the article, it seems like it's confirmed to be the same ㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Really ㅋㅋ If you're comparing Godple and Elephant, isn't it already a 1:1 match?]
[-No lol I used a counter pick in the first place, do I need to say anything else?]
[-Also, Godple gives orders while negotiating with others ㅋㅋㅋ]
The argument for the rebuttal was also sufficient. It was natural since Purple won the game.
[-No, but why did you write that losing to Godple was a flaw?]
[-Really ㅋㅋ Godple wasn't just a smurf, he was a professional aspirant]
[-ㅇㅇ From what I saw talking to Elephant, it seems like you know Director Baek?]
[-If he goes straight to the pro scene, he's skilled enough to eat everything up ㅋㅋㅋ]
[-It's like you're looking at me with colored glasses, lol]
[-Now, who doesn't know?]
The gathered enthusiasm became a spark, and the community began to burn out little by little in that spark.
[Foreign products are the best when it comes to putting out fires!]
[(Photo of actor bringing pizza looking at burning room)
I saw this Purge Day broadcast and I was so shocked that I spread it on Reddit and translated it, what the f*ck
Why are you so greedy?
In my eyes, they're both awesome, but do we really have to put them in a line? lol
No, just take a look at this.
(Crazy! Is this Ferantem?)
(No, it's Perzan now)
(What the f*ck? The opponent is an elephant? Tier one? Seriously?)
(ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Counter picks don't mean anything)
(WA! Literally 'mythical' with 'perfect play', I doubt if the game he played is the same as the game I played.)
If you look at it, you'll see that they're all rave reviews ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Purple's skills are beyond words, but isn't that why he's on fire right now?
The key is this guy
(Elephant is the most impressive jungler I've ever met. But who is this guy? I can't even imagine following him)
Surely there's no one who doesn't know?
Isn't this one explanation enough? LOL]
This was a post by someone who had been translating overseas reactions to Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast.
Comments began to appear quickly below.
[-Translation wagon come on]
[Now I'm going to make some stuff to translate lol]
[I'm a professional translator, okay?]
[What would be an appropriate photo?]
[-Wow lol Shayan saw this?]
[N-monthly salary lol]
[I thought it was some kind of spring water because it was foreign water, but it was a waterfall pouring down lol]
[As expected, foreign news is trustworthy!]
[Foreign news, okay lol]
[-Shit, are you a Shayan or a Saiyan or something?]
[You don't know Shayane while being Mystic?]
[Don't you know the youngest Mid Cup winner?]
[That's also Barzan craftsman and he even got a winning skin ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The Fanatic logo is blatantly attached next to the ID]
[Nah lol, you're just going to confess right away?]
[Please go play in the neighborhood!]
Not only did overseas gamers react, but the winner of the Mystic League World Championship, also known as the 'Mid Cup', expressed surprise after seeing the play.
[-Now that I look at it, it was the non-mystic Buntangshaks who came and made a mess]
[ㄹㅇㅋㅋ I never heard anyone say they couldn't do elephant, but I suddenly felt something]
[The N-bun-tang-ssacks went to the Tier One Gallery and started a fight first ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Why do people live like that in real life? LOL]
The existence of people who were inciting conflict was revealed through that post. The administrator also deleted the problematic post.
Thanks to this, the controversy quickly died down.
[The nationalistic tow trucks are starting to start up soon]
[I really didn't expect Shayane to appear ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Shouldn't we be giving away the Perzan skin at this point?]
[Ah haha first, change the chroma to purple]
[You crazy guys! Don't try to imitate Perzan!]
The community is more fun than ever.
* * *
The next day, at the training camp of the e-sports team 'Tier One'.
The results of the promotion match have been announced.
Elephant sighed deeply as the Mystic League players gathered around him.
Other colleagues patted him on the shoulder.
“Man, today was really crazy.”
“Truly the greatest of all time!”
“I knew you’d come back to the first team!”
“If things continue like this, MCK won’t be a problem?!”
Elephant returned to the first team.
He displayed overwhelming skills that were acknowledged by all team members.
But the person involved wasn't very happy.
“… … It is important to maintain this in the future.”
He was more worried than happy. It was because of his chronic jinx, 'Jjinmak Syndrome'.
The team members also smiled bitterly, knowing that fact.
“Hey hey, it’s okay.”
“Yeah, we don’t have ups and downs either?”
“Everything will be okay.”
The elephant smiled weakly.
It was a comfort I had always heard. I appreciated the consideration, but it wasn't helpful.
“Good morning, everyone worked hard today.”
The players turned their heads at the voice they heard at that moment. There was Coach Baek Kang-min, a middle-aged man wearing the red Tier 1 uniform.
“Sangjun, come see me for a minute.”
"yes."
Elephant, Jeong Sang-jun nodded at the call. He could guess why the director was looking for him.
“You did really well today.”
As the two entered the room, Baek Kang-min lightly tapped his shoulder.
“Thank you for confirming that my thoughts were not wrong.”
"thank you."
"but."
Director Baek Kang-min quickly wiped away his smile and spoke seriously.
“The problem isn’t solved yet?”
"……yes."
“Yes, so I believe you understand that even if you are a first-team player, you have no choice but to be a candidate.”
The roster for the competition has not been finalized yet. Even if he is promoted to the first team, he may not be able to play in the actual game.
“But I still think it’s a positive sign. I’ve never done this well before.”
Baek Kang-min encouraged him.
It's not just empty words, his skills have really changed.
“As the limit has been exceeded, the minimum will have also risen. So don’t worry too much. If we can just reduce this fluctuation, the first team won’t be a problem.”
Baek Kang-min highly evaluated his potential. That is why he took a risk and brought him back to the first team.
“Thank you, Director. That… … ”
The elephant bowed its head and hesitated for a moment. But soon it continued speaking with a determined expression.
“I have a question about that.”
"hmm?"
“Excuse me… Do you know Purple?”
To that question, Baek Kang-min surprisingly nodded obediently.
“Oh, that’s what you mean.”
As a coach, he personally looked into the community to manage the players' mental health. There were many opinions and comments about the players that could be more harmful than beneficial.
Thanks to that, I also knew about the match between Purple and Elephant yesterday.
“When you play a game, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. You don’t need to be so discouraged. I heard your opponent is a famous streamer with some skills?”
“Oh, no. It’s okay to lose the game.”
“Huh? Then?”
“I was wondering if you know Purple personally.”
“… …Personally?”
Baek Kang-min's eyes widened. But he soon shook his head.
“Um… … No, I just found out about it this time. He might be a candidate for scouting, but I haven’t heard any stories about him debuting as a streamer.”
“But I think Purple knows the director.”
Elephant said so and showed a video of Smart Link.
The video was an interview with a metagamer.
“It wasn’t the Mystic League that I got the offer for. It was before virtual reality, so it was probably the Legends League. I said I had to turn it down because of health issues.”
“Legend League? Health… …?”
Baek Kang-min's expression changed at that explanation. Perhaps feeling hopeful, Elephant showed him another video.
“At that time, my parents also passed away, so in the end, it all came to naught.”
Baek Kang-min's eyes widened.
Legend League, a high school student who lost his parents due to health issues.
“… … Kyungbok?”
There was only one person who fit that bill. He was a special talent, one that I had never seen before in my entire career.
As he muttered, a color came to the elephant's face.
“Do you know him? Are you still in contact with him…?”
“No, it’s been a while since we last contacted each other.”
Baek Kang-min let out a short sigh.
“I don’t know if that friend is Purple. We exchanged numbers and told each other to contact me if he or she changed their minds later, but I haven’t heard from him.”
“Do you have the number?”
“Um… … But this is such an old number, I don’t know if I can use it as is.”
Baek Kang-min scratched the back of his head.
“Can you please contact me just once? I felt my condition improving after competing with Purple! And today’s play was all thanks to you!”
But he eventually gave in to Elephant's earnest attitude.
“Okay, I got it. Let’s give it a try.”
As they dialed the number, a call tone was heard. Both of them held their breath as the other person answered the phone.
<Yes, hello?>
“Oh, that… … Is this Gyeongbok calling?”
Elephant unconsciously clenched his fists until his hands turned white.
Finally, the answer came back over the phone.
<Is this an alarm? No, you got the wrong number.>
“Yes? No… … ”
Silence flowed as the call suddenly ended.
“Hmm… … I see the number has changed. Well, it’s been almost 10 years.”
Baek Kang-min turned his head, frowning. Elephant nodded with a bewildered expression.
“I can’t help it. Thank you… … ”
As he was about to say hello and leave, Baek Kang-min dialed the number again.
“No, maybe you can contact me this way.”
"yes?!"
The elephant's eyes came back to life. Soon, when he heard a phone call, he covered his mouth with his hand as if he did not want to be disturbed.
The phone rang again in the tense atmosphere.
And finally, the call is connected.
<Hello?>
The elephant tilted its head. The voice it heard was a woman's.
“Oh, are you by any chance Lee Kyung-bok’s guardian?”
The person Baek Kang-min was calling was.
<Kyungbok? Oh my, who are you? I saved it as Mr. Baek, but I can't seem to organize it.>
It was Yang Hwa Bodhisattva, Aunt Yang Gyu-ri.
