The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 197

Episode 197 – Everyone Has a Plan (1)

The strategy and tactics of Mystic League are determined by many factors. There are many factors such as player skill, item build, and buff timing, but the basis is one.

Champion, everything in the Mystic League begins with those who stand on the battlefield.

“Okay, both teams have finished their bans and picks!”

That's why champion selection, as well as champion restrictions, were decisive factors that influenced the game.

The commentators immediately opened their mouths to comment on the choices of both teams.

“Plus Alpha’s ban pick is really good, isn’t it?”

“Yes. I banned Yami, Ragnell, and DD! This is a very good strategic choice.”

“I guess it’s because of the scrimmage?”

The commentators on both sides nodded simultaneously at the caster's question.

“In the first scrim, Plus Alpha failed to predict. However, in the scrim with Latte Pro, a position change occurred! The check itself wasn’t wrong!”

“Yes, that’s right. Among the three, this DD ban is a really good idea. If DD can’t come out, even if you change positions, Purple will have to choose an unfamiliar mid champion, but there’s no reason to do that.”

“Oh, that’s right. In fact, if you look at it in terms of value, it’s clear that the currently open Purple players’ Barzan and Perzan are better than Genome player’s Shaka.”

This leads to Lee Kyung-bok's Barzan pick.

Plus Alpha's strategy was very blatant.

“If I had to choose between Purple Player’s three champions, it would have to be Barzan! The other two are just too! Too violent!”

“Yes. In fact, using three ban cards on one player is a real gamble. You can bring in the safe Ferzan and bring out the sub champion of Genom, the mid laner. It’s the best choice that Plus Alpha can make!”

“Yes, I think it was a ban pick that showed the extra effort put into it. Then, let’s take a look at the ban pick of the Purge Day team!”

Caster Wanggeom quickly moved on to the next one.

Unlike scrims, in this tournament, everything from ban picks to champion picks was timed.

This time required ample time for thought from the players, and was also a time for commentary for the viewers.

His role was to moderate the commentary so that it did not go too far to one side.

“Zen, Kay, and Orian are out. What do you think of this ban pick?”

“It’s a ban pick that’s not much different from scrim. In other words, I can say that it’s safe and stable.”

“Yes. Along with Pride’s check, the last DD got banned, so they responded with a counterattack. If that happens, both sides’ mid laners will have to bring out their sub champions.”

“We’ve balanced the mid lane. I guess that’s how it’s going to be. But in scrims, Pride is playing as the jungler? Brave is open right now!”

In the scrim match, Pride changed his position to jungler. However, instead of responding to him, the Purge Day team chose to target the mid laner.

“I think this is the famous perverted feeling. Because Plus Alpha side provoked first by opening Barzanman at the end. If this is the case, I can’t not go.”

“Right. If you want to be a jungler, come here! I get that strong feeling. Purple is not the type of player to avoid a challenge like this.”

“Ah, here’s where the sense of humor comes into play again.”

The viewers burst into laughter at the commentators' words.

-The feeling of being a pervert is fundamental lol

-Why are you provoking me like that here?

-???: Are you that good at following? Follow me to Okttang!

-What kind of Mystic Street atrocities are these? LOL

– Are you good at fighting? You are good. / Follow me! I'll follow you.

-Ah hahaha I told you not to go but you said you would!

-Ah, that's 'ganking'

Meanwhile, the champion selection time was over. Wanggeom and the commentators' eyes widened.

“The champions of both teams have now been revealed!”

“Oh, as expected! Purple player, you chose Barzan!”

“Genome’s sub champions are Hellfire and Brandon! Not a bad choice. He’s a decent champion after all.”

-Welcome the return of the King! Welcome the return of the King!

-There is only one rightful king, Perzan! There is only one rightful king, Perzan!

-The listeners have completed joining the Knights of the Order.

-Heir to the throne? Is this a hint at Mad Smurf's victory?

-Is there evidence of an upper here too?

-After all, the basis for science is important.

-What a jerk lol. You choose a flaming head.

-That's why you're losing your hair because you have so much scalp heat.

-What is scalp fever? LOL

While the viewers were excited, the screen turned to the opposite side.

“Oh? Pride player! I chose Lucid!”

“Pride is back as a bottom ADD! This will be a completely different scene from scrims!”

“Actually, that’s true. If it’s like a scrim, there’s no point in playing the actual game!”

“Yes! What will the result be? Players from both teams will enter the game right away!”

I commented after seeing the screen where the king's sword was changing.

As the real game began, the players dispersed.

“Oh, both sides are running in line? Invasion doesn’t seem to have any thoughts?”

“I think they’re wary of Kajung right now. They’re sticking close to the lane and jungling so they can get in at any time!”

“Yes, as a plus alpha team, we should avoid early team fights. Purple’s flag buff and CC skills are very useful in team fights!”

Wanggeom tilted his head slightly.

“Oh, so you’re saying that Purge Day has an advantage in early team fights? Why didn’t Purge Day’s team attempt an invasion?”

“Seeing that it’s heading straight for the line, I wonder if there’s another way.”

“The original purpose of Inve is to cut down the opposing jungler, right? Maybe one Purple player is enough for jungle fights! It could be a display of confidence like this.”

The chat window was filled with 'yes' and 'really lol' at the commentators' comments. They also agreed.

“Okay, then let’s take a look at Purple Player’s moves!”

The screen changed to Wanggeom's comment.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lee Kyung-bok was steadily hunting creeps.

“Ah! Purple Player, you’re clearing out creeps at an incredible speed!”

“We’re doing very standard jungle jungling. Since this is the main match, we have to be careful!”

“Purple Player always shows us unconventional appearances, so this feels even more unfamiliar. But still, a competition is a competition… … Ah! Right now!?”

Wanggeom interrupted his comment and suddenly raised his voice.

“Huh? What the!? Purple player suddenly runs over!?”

“Car-park? Car-park!? Are we going to go to Car-park again!?”

“Because there’s no Inbe? No, we figured that out a while ago.”

As minions appeared from both bases, his behavior changed. Commentators and viewers thought he was heading to the opposing jungle.

But that thought was wrong.

“Huh?! Suddenly jumping to the bottom line!?”

“Pride player, are you trying to gank early? Purple player! Is that right?!”

“It’s different from Scream! Right now, there’s a supporter and a turret next to Pride! It’s definitely not easy!”

“Have you been practicing a joint attack with the bottom duo!? Oh, but there’s a ward right now! If we keep going like this, we’ll get warded?!”

Pride had also placed wards in advance in preparation for a gank. As expected, when his position was revealed, he and his support quickly moved towards the tower.

“Oh, isn’t this a waste of time? The Pride player has secured safety while also taking care of CS.”

“Something is strange. There’s no way Purple would make such a rookie mistake. The bottom duo was acting as bait before.”

“Player Purple, are you nervous because it’s the actual match?”

The commentators spoke in a voice mixed with despair. But they had to raise their lowered voices again.

“Huh? Huh!? What’s going on now!? Purple Player won’t stop!”

“Ganking has already been discovered?! What are you thinking!?”

“You’re not trying to steal our CS, are you? That would be like cutting your own flesh!”

Lee Kyung-bok entered the bottom lane as it was. He planted his flag in the fierce battle between the two minions clashing and the bullets flying between the bottom duo.

And with him, everyone witnessed Lee Kyung-bok's trick.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“What the heck is this!”

“What am I looking at right now!?”

It wasn't a forced tension.

The commentators screamed with genuine amazement. The viewers also screamed with words, not with their voices.

-Yay, hahaha, crazy hahaha

-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)

-Is this Mystic? Is this the Mystic I've been seeing?

-Another day! Another day! Another day!

-Common sense special) Destroyed like a dog

Lee Kyung-bok's actions that shocked everyone were not that complicated.

All he did was deflect the attacks flying towards friendly minions with his spear.

But the aftermath was enormous.

“Right now! Purple is blocking Pride’s CS! I couldn’t even imagine such a play!”

“I’ve commentated countless games, but I can guarantee you that I’ve never seen a play like this!”

“In the meantime, the bottom duo of Purge Day! They steadily remove minions and collect CS! I can, but you can’t! It’s a self-righteous restraint!”

-I don't like being introverted, lol

-Wow! This is black corporate style restraint!

-Wow lol If I were really Pride, I would have a mental breakdown.

-Really ㅋㅋ If it weren't for the broadcast, I would have cursed right away

-No, is this really possible?

-Is it really possible (X), it is possible, but no one has been able to do it until now (O)

-Even Ikle can't do thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Really ㅋㅋ Even Ikle-nim can't do it while standing still, he can't do it while moving around like that

-You can't do this without a real Godple ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The commentators and viewers were all excited. However, things did not go so smoothly.

“Ah, the minions are advancing and entering the tower’s firing range!”

“Purple Player! You can block bullets but not shells!? But you can prevent CS even when you get hit by shells!”

“Stamina! You have to take care of your stamina! If you die, you’ll lose it! You have to lose it now!”

The Pride's attacks could be deflected, but the tower's shells could not.

As the stamina gauge dwindled, Pride and Supporters glared at each other, hoping to score a kill.

“Ahhh! Player Park Japcho!”

“I don’t spare my skills! I use them to recover Purple Player!”

“In terms of value, Purple is better than Skull Kim! It’s a very smart play!”

“Purge Day Team! We prepared Counter Pride instead of Counter Jungle! It worked out great!”

The stamina that had been lost due to Park Weed's recovery skill was restored. The viewers could not hide their joy at the situation.

-Oh lol the minions got swept away by the tower?

-Wow lol You really make it so I can't get my pride CS

-Isn't this really snowballing crazy?

-Really lol, your income has completely stopped lol

-Killing out competing companies, isn't that common sense for a black company?

The commentators' thoughts were similar to the viewers' reactions. However, since they were experts, they looked further ahead.

“Wow! The Pride player finally steps down!”

“The operation went well. But if it goes like this, Purple Player won’t be able to grow either?”

“Yes. Skull Kim and Park Jap-cho are saving up CS, but Purple doesn’t have enough money! On the other hand, the enemy jungler is growing fast!”

“Oh, that’s right! Purple was always in the bottom lane and was actively jungled!”

“This is what is called a ‘jungle gap’! The restraint was effective, but it was also a self-restraint!”

Even though their voices were loud, the commentators assessed the situation calmly. Isn't that why they are treated as experts?

That's why they commented on the situation as follows:

“But that’s only true for normal people! Purple Players are different! The Purge Day team has a huge advantage!”

“Yes! Who is Purple? I can tell just by looking at the tricks he showed in the bottom lane! He is a complete jungler, a ‘perfect jungler’, so this gap means nothing to him!”

The need for growth was, after all, a story of ordinary people.

As for Lee Kyung-bok, since he has a unique skill that lies at the bottom, the 'Jungle Chai' was rather tilted towards the Fuzzy Day team.

To balance that tilt, the opposing jungler needed more funds.

“Wow, that was a truly unprecedented and shocking strategy! But with this strategy working again, the Purge Day team is in the lead!”

It was clearly the Purge Day team that had the upper hand.

* * *

There was no change.

Group A's first match ended with Fuzzy Day's second consecutive win.

Overseas viewers who watched the game on a live broadcast channel could not hide their admiration.

-This is the craziest game I've ever seen in my life!

-lol, 'perfect' is correct, not 'crazy'!

-Either way makes sense

-You'll never see a match like this even in the pro league.

-That's right! That's why we have an amateur competition!

-It's ironic, but those scenes were possible because there were few key players, or like now, only one.

-Unorthodox play! That's what amateur tournaments are for!

-I don't think this kind of play would come out in other amateur competitions lmfo

-I agree. I don't think anyone else can do this kind of play except Purple.

-Damn, I don't know if I can wait until the membership video comes up.

The chat window was filled with excitement as if it was a festival. But that moment didn't last long.

-WTF? Why are we playing Group B?

-What? Wasn't Group A playing today?

-I don't know anything about any other teams except Group A.

This was because Group B's first match started after Group A's first match ended.

-Are we supposed to have one game per group?

-Is it the end for today?

-Oh my God, this can't be happening! I've only had two beers.

-lol, calm down! After this match, Group A's 2nd match will start!

-This is in order for fairness.

-Fairness?

-If you play the next game right after finishing the first game, the first team will be at a disadvantage.

-I agree. The game is played in turns because both parties need time to rest.

In response to some viewers' complaints, others kindly responded.

But still, dissatisfaction remained.

-What? Group A's 2nd match isn't Purge Day, right?

-Isn't this fair? The loser plus alpha is playing the game right away?

-Nope, this is the order established for the competition to proceed.

– It's right for the loser of game 1 to play first, because if the winner gets 2 wins, the 3rd game is meaningless.

-Because we've secured a spot in the playoffs!

-lfmo, prevents the 2nd win from being decided first. A very simple rule.

-That's right. If Purge Day had been the loser, he would have gone to game 2.

-But that won't happen. It doesn't make 'scientific' sense.

-According to the 'Upper' formula, we have no choice but to wait for 3 games.

Viewers who were not interested in the game of an unknown team focused on the explanation of the situation. Thanks to this, most viewers understood the reason.

-Then it's time for me to rest too.

-I need to take care of some piling up work now.

-Damn, I should put the beer in the fridge so it doesn't get cold.

-I guess I should go check out Riddit.

-Let's wait for the climax, friends!

The chat started coming up sporadically and soon became quiet.

Strictly speaking, what they want to see is not the competition, but Purge Day.

Among them, it was Purple's play.

* * *

All two matches in Group A and two matches in Group B have been completed.

“Oh, it’s unfortunate, but it ended up like this.”

“Yes. Plus Alpha suffered a bitter defeat with two consecutive losses.”

“That’s right. Originally, Plus Alpha was also a strong candidate to win.”

The winner between Latte Pro and Plus Alpha was Latte Pro.

The commentators expressed their regret. Wanggeom let out a short sigh.

“It’s not that Plus Alpha didn’t advance because they lacked skill, but rather that they just had bad luck with the draw. They ended up feeling frustrated because the draw happened this way?”

“Yes! Viewers who watched the competition will know this as well.”

“It’s such a shame, because these are players who could have performed better.”

Wanggeom cleared his throat. He couldn't continue to let the mood deteriorate like this.

“But the world of competition is a cold one. The players of Team Plus Alpha will know this well. Above all, isn’t our team leader, Mr. Pride, a medalist!?”

“That’s right. And this isn’t the end of Crazy Smurfs. There’s another season!”

“Yes, I ask for the viewers’ support for the Plus Alpha team! We have to prepare for the next game, right?”

The commentators also actively participated in Wanggeom's guidance, raising the tension of the broadcast once again.

“Yes, this narrows down the candidates for Group A to two! With Fuzzy Day and Latte Pro each winning once, they will advance in this game!”

“There are no longer any ties in KDA. Now, all you have to think about is winning!”

“Both teams are such strong contenders. I can’t believe this is just a playoff game!”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying! The match is basically a preliminary match, but this tension feels like it’s the semifinals!”

Wanggeom rubbed his palms against the jackets worn by the casters on both sides as if his hands were sweaty.

“Huh?! Your Majesty the King!”

“No, why are you wiping it here!?”

Wanggeom burst into laughter at the two people's reactions and continued his comment.

“Of course I’m joking. I think you two are more nervous. Okay, now! Let’s meet the players who are more nervous than anyone else!”

“Yes! Who will make it to the playoffs?”

“Are you the Purge Day team? Or the Latte Pro team!”

The final match of Group A.

“Now is the time to check the results!”

The match for advancement to the playoffs has begun.
