The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 198

Episode 198 – Everyone Has a Plan (2)

Before the start of Group A's third match.

Choi Byeong-hun's officetel was unusually clean.

“Ha, now it looks like a place where people live.”

“Huh? Are you talking too much?”

“If I may speak frankly, I agree with the manager’s opinion.”

“Even you, Daehan… …!”

2 matches in Group A and 2 matches in Group B.

This was because Park Joo-ho and Jo Dae-han cleaned the house with the landlord while the Purge Day team was resting.

“Usually when you invite guests, isn’t cleaning a given?”

“That's what I did.”

“…you did that?”

Park Joo-ho glared at him and then let out a short sigh.

“If I had known it would be this bad, I would have gathered at my house.”

“No, it’s clean. What else do you have in your house? What do you cheer for there?”

Joint cheering, that was why the three of them gathered here. Park Joo-ho was more of a minimalist, and Jo Dae-han lived alone, so his house was small, so Choi Byung-hoon's officetel was chosen as the location.

“Ahaha, now it’s clean.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll apologize on his behalf. This isn’t part of the job.”

“No! You couldn’t stand it anymore, so Daehan did it reluctantly.”

When Choi Byung-hoon complained, Park Joo-ho glared again. While Jo Dae-han, who was caught in the middle, was watching, a loud vibration saved him.

"oh!"

The notification that appeared as a hologram at that moment was a good topic to change the awkward atmosphere.

“The 1st match clip is hot on Reddit!”

At those words, the two people's gazes turned. Jo Dae-han continued speaking with a happy expression.

“You know that Pride CS block at the bottom lane? That’s the best right now. It even became a meme!”

Cho Daehan immediately brought up a webpage with a hologram. There were numerous comments under a short video of Lee Kyungbok blocking Pride's bullets.

“People call it ‘Perfect Dry Cleaning.’ I guess even foreigners get the feeling that it’s been dried to death.”

At first it was just for a change of pace, but soon Jo Dae-han continued speaking in a sincere voice.

“Wow, as expected from a world-class person. Look at the speed at which you can mass-produce memes!”

Park Joo-ho and Choi Byung-hoon also burst into laughter at that sight.

“Okay, it’s your house, so do whatever you want.”

“Hey, don’t worry. I’ll make sure to do it at this level next time too.”

The two soon returned to their respective seats.

Cho Dae-han was relieved and thought about continuing to fangirl until the last game of Group A started, but he couldn't do that.

'The broadcast is off… … '

This is because the broadcasts of the participating players were turned off at the request of the organizer, Light Games Korea.

The plan was to gather viewers on one official channel so that the scale of the event could be clearly revealed and to deal with any potential spam in advance.

'You're working again.'

Still, the two did not rest.

Choi Byung-hoon was uploading and editing the full video of Game 1.

Although broadcasting was prohibited, recording was allowed. The video played from Lee Kyung-bok's perspective was scheduled to be uploaded to YouTube.

'There's a reason why Pertube works well.'

Park Joo-ho was organizing his business mailbox. As Lee Kyung-bok’s popularity grew, his mailbox was filled with new offers every day.

Normally, there would be a distinction based on the relative size or level, but he politely replied to all of them in order and without discrimination.

'You don't make enemies. That's what a manager does, you said.'

Of course, he didn't just rest.

Due to the nature of his job, Cho Dae-han's work began only after the game began. This was because he had to translate conversations between team members into scripts during the game.

“Ah, it’s starting now!”

At those words, the other two people also turned their eyes to the large screen installed on the wall.

After a short break, the final match of Group A began.

Jo Daehan's eyes widened at the ban pick that was decided.

“Yami, DD, and Gaien? Purple-sama hardly ever holds them back?”

Latte Pro's team leader, Caffeine, used the ban card on other members rather than focusing it on Lee Kyung-bok.

Accordingly, the Purge Day team also chose Latte Pro's top and bottom duo to bring out the sub champion in order to maintain balance.

“Oh… … This is a pretty bold move by Latte Pro.”

“Is it bold? It’s not a mistake?”

Cho Dae-han tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

“I can’t understand why they ignored Purple in this match… … ”

“I don’t think it’s being ignored.”

Surprisingly, Park Joo-ho answered that question. He adjusted his glasses with a serious expression.

“Based on previous scrim matches and past performances, Caffeine is in a similar league to me.”

“Similar type?”

“Rather than making judgments based on your senses like you, I make judgments based on rationality and accumulated data.”

The other two nodded at those words. Thinking about it, they were similar in that respect.

“In that respect, we can infer what kind of thought process it was.”

“Is that possible?”

“Banning DD meant to check the position change like in scrims. However, no matter what we do, we can’t completely stop Purple.”

“That is true.”

As Park Joo-ho muttered as if talking to himself, Choi Byeong-hoon nodded his head as if in admiration.

“That’s why purple restraint is not very effective. So instead, restrain the surrounding members, lower the value of the entire team, and compete in a team-vs-team structure. I think it will be organized to that extent.”

Cho Dae-han opened his mouth in surprise at that reasoning.

“Ah! So that’s why you responded in kind?”

“That’s right. Caffeine-nim also made the best choice since his champion pool is wide and the ban card has little utility.”

Cho Dae-han blinked his eyes and then spoke with a bright expression.

“Well, in the end, it’s Purge Day who wins anyway!”

* * *

The king and the commentators couldn't hold back their sighs.

“Wow, I guess this was a ban pick worthy of Caffeine.”

“That’s right. That’s exactly it. Give me what you want! This is a plan to abandon the jungle and see who wins based on the differences between each lane!”

“That’s right. Objectively speaking, the LattePro team has a lot of experience and is far superior in sub-champion proficiency. In terms of overall value, it’s a very good choice.”

“Yes, this game highlights the importance of lines! Oh, the picks have been revealed now!”

As soon as the champions of both teams were revealed, the commentators nodded their heads.

“Purple Player! I chose Ragnell! The Purge Day team is also aware of the current situation.”

“Since the lane is important, you have to make sure to gank as well! Ragnel has to come out instead of Barzan!”

“Well, there’s no way Latte Pro wouldn’t know that. Did he prepare countermeasures during the last training period?”

The commentators took a short breath at Wanggeom's question.

“Huh, this is a really difficult question. Purple’s Ragnell, I wonder if there’s a way to stop it?”

“If there is no groundbreaking solution, I think there will be a more passive play style due to concerns about ganking.”

The chat window was also filled with opinions agreeing with him.

-Ah haha where did you get the idea to stop Pugnell?

-If you're going to fight for team value, it's best to protect your invincible body.

-ㅇㅇ Latte Pro watches the game for a long time

-But how do we stop Godple from monopolizing the jungle?

– Is Latte Pro jungler forced to eat grass?

-Even if the team value drops, it won't end if one god player increases lol

But things turned out differently than everyone expected.

As the real game began, both teams began to run.

“Huh?! Just now, as soon as I say that, both teams are gathered together and moving!”

As if they had made a promise, neither team moved along the line.

The intention was one.

“Ah! Both sides are thinking of Inve!”

“Wow! That’s right! It’s the best choice for Latte Pro to try to invade! Now is the best time to restrain Ragnell!”

“That’s right! As I said earlier, Latte Pro is confident in his ability to control the line! Even if his return is a bit delayed, it’s more advantageous to go after cutting Ragnell!”

“The calculation is that it’s okay for Purge Day to come out to defend Inve?! The team value is high and the team fight composition is advantageous!”

As the situation became more urgent, the chat window also became abuzz.

-It's a bit disadvantageous if you do it right away;;

-If Ragnell fights 1:1, it's a sure win, but a team fight is a bit;;

-It's a bit disappointing that Ragnell CC is gone

-Latte Pro doesn't have the physical strength to be affected by the roar.

-I tie it with a noose, but it only ties the movement.

-Wow, whoever wins, it's going to be a big snowball fight.

The distance between the two teams began to narrow. Accordingly, the voices of Wanggeom and the commentators gradually became louder.

“Okay! Okay! Soon! We’ll meet soon!”

“I already predicted that both teams would invade from the minimap! The lanes are completely empty!? Initiation is important! Which team will move first!”

“It’s stuck! It’s stuck now! We’ve found each other! The first strike is rightoooooooo!”

Both sides found each other.

The response was immediate and the speed of the reaction.

“Initiate! This is Eclipse!”

“What an amazing reaction speed! It was literally instantaneous! It was so fast that it was as if it had been predicted in advance!”

“Kaiser Mode! Race Grab is out!”

As the Ghost Knight, Kaisermode, clenched his fists, dark green spirits flew out.

The target was Latte Pro's long-range attackers, but they weren't easily defeated either.

“Wow! Darias is stopping me! I’m being dragged away instead!”

“This is the job of a tanker!”

“I’d rather use Grab! AXE SLAM!”

The opposing top laner was dragged in front of the Purge Day team. However, he did not resist and used his speed to chop Kaisermode's body with his axe.

“We have to save Darias! We have to get back up quickly!”

“Ah! Genome player! Brandon is putting up a wall of fire! Ahh! Very good play!”

“If this happens, news of Daria’s death will come out!?”

A wall of flames rose up in a straight line, separating the two teams. But it didn't last long.

“Whoaaaa! The wall of fire is exploding!”

“Fire it out! Caffeine player! Open the way with an engineering grenade!”

“As expected, he has a lot of experience! He doesn’t panic at all!”

“Both sides are starting to pour out full-scale fire!”

The wall of flames split apart with an explosion, and the Latte Pro team members behind it began to attack.

Genome, Skull Kim, and Park Weed also poured out their skills so as not to be outdone.

-Wow! The early game fights were crazy!

-Is this an amateur competition? Is this an amateur competition?

-Are all of them Notem? What about the physical?

-F*ck, this is seriously semi-final levelㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah haha, as expected, Mystic is Hantaji!

-But in terms of skill, it's fantasy

-Why are you suddenly matching limes? ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ

-But why doesn't Godple come out?!

As the viewers wondered, the commentators also looked for Lee Kyung-bok.

“Ragnel! Where is Ragnel!?”

“The icons on the minimap overlap so I can’t see them well!”

“We definitely came together!?”

At those words, a shadow rose from the bushes with frightening intensity. It was Ragnell, Lee Kyung-bok's heavenly attack.

“It’s out!”

“Ugh! This is not good!”

“Latte Pro! Did you practice this!?”

The commentators were delighted and then screamed. As soon as Lee Kyung-bok appeared, the caffeine, ranged attackers, and supporters aimed for him as if they had been waiting for him.

Both the commentators and the viewers had a gut feeling that death was imminent due to the concentrated fire that poured down in an instant.

"no!"

“What is this?!”

“Yaaaah!”

But what followed was an unbearable exclamation.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lee Gyeong-bok did not die.

“The noose! The noose has been blown!”

“Does this make any sense!?”

“I’ll avoid it with a trap!”

Ragnell's noose was thrown, but none of the opposing team was caught in it.

It was a completely different situation from when he was dealing with Pride. It wasn’t a problem that could be solved by stopping anyone. So Lee Kyung-bok made a different choice.

-On the Kaiser's Greatsword?!

-Was it possible to use a noose like that?

-The chemistry is amazing lol

-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)

I tied a noose around the weapon of Kaisermode, a greatsword with a green glow flowing through it.

Eclipse swung her greatsword in a big way while Genome knocked back her opponent with flames.

Lee Gyeong-bok used the centrifugal force to escape the saturation.

-Black corporate evasion maneuvers lol

-Is this what it means to be good at riding the line at that company?

-Ah haha Mr. Lee is the eldest in the CEO line

-Was that the line? LOL!

-Wow lol, take away all of Latte Pro's skills

The fight wasn't over yet. Lee Kyung-bok let out a roar as he landed.

“The beast roar erupts! It’s in a perfect location!”

“The Latte Pro team is staggering!?”

“Ah! Darias! Darias’s stamina is amazing!”

The opposing top laner couldn't handle the attacks coming from the front and back.

“First Blood! Purge Day takes Pubble!”

“Player Skull Kim! Penetrating Shaaaaat!”

“Mr. Lucky’s critical hit! Supporter kill! It becomes 3:5 in an instant!”

“Player Park Japcho! This is Gwangyeok Heal! If this continues, Latte Pro will have a hard time!”

The situation changed in an instant. LattePro lost his supporter right after the death of his top laner.

Caffeine, who was cornered, quickly deployed a gravitational field and retreated.

“Ah! I’m going to fall for Latte Pro! I can’t help it! If I hold out, we’ll all be wiped out!?”

“Yes! That’s wise! It’s the best decision!”

“A battle between the two teams! The victory belongs to Purge Day!”

The commentator continued, his voice rising to a pitch.

“Wow, this was an incredibly early fight.”

“Yes! It’s really amazing. As expected, both teams are of a great level!?”

“First of all, Purple Player! I saw Elephant Player’s Ragnell? Is it just me!?”

“Ah! This snare usage! This is Elephant Player’s exclusive feature?! This has led to some incredible super plays!”

“But while Elephant player has only moved the terrain so far, Purple player has utilized Eclipse player’s weapon! I could never have imagined such a play! This is a perfect play!”

Viewers expressed satisfaction with the commentary.

-The commentators know a thing or two lol

-Ah haha how do you mix perfect play with super play?

-Really lol This can't even be mixed in parentheses

-Why is a bibim noodle company coming out? What the f*ckㅋㅋㅋ

-5252, Elephant is a body that received coaching from Godple?

-The teacher is better than the student, isn't that common sense?

-Wasn't it a mistake for Latte Pro to use all his skills on Gotple?

-You've seen the air kill angle, right?

-Look at how wide your field of vision is, Mr. Leekle. ㅋㅋㅋ

-If I hadn't seen this Godple, I wouldn't have been able to react

-As expected, he protects his lord like a knight.

In the meantime, the Purge Day team members who had finished their fight each returned to their lines.

“Wow, if you do this, Latte Pro, the game will become really difficult?”

“Yes. It’s become harder to control the lane and control the jungle. And now that I’m watching the team fight, I can’t help but wonder if the ban/pick was right!”

“We are surprised by the synergy of the Fuzzy Day team! I think Latte Pro will be surprised by this part too.”

The commentator continued his explanation with a voice still immersed in lingering emotions.

“Okay, we need to cheer up Latte Pro! Earlier I explained that the strategy is to ‘give what you have to give’, right? If we keep doing this, we might end up giving things that we shouldn’t have!”

As Wanggeom quickly organized his comments, the chat window filled with laughter.

-Sapparadas!

-This house was such a blessing ㅋㅋㅋ

-If you give something to a black company, they take it all, lol

-Isn't this more like an avalanche rather than a snowball? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah, lol, so it turns out that what they were giving away was a playoff spot?

Group A winner.

Because the results were visible.
