Episode 201 – Fearful (1)
The day of the Mad Smurf finals.
Before the full finals, a match to decide 3rd and 4th places was held.
“Ah, finally GG! Set 3 is over!”
“So, 3rd place goes to ‘Kukrukrukru’ and 4th place goes to ‘There Are No Bad Champions in the World’!”
“It was a really great match! It was truly a battle between dragons and tigers!”
The referee and the commentators quickly gave their comments after the game ended.
“Watching this game made me think that way again.”
“Wanggeom Caster? What do you think?”
“No, what kind of joke are you trying to make with this build-up?”
The commentators turned their attention to Wanggeom's words. While the main event, the finals, was being prepared, the three had to fill in the audio.
“No, this is a serious story. You saw that both teams were very good, but they lost all of their matches in the semifinals. This could be misleading to the viewers.”
“That’s right. The opponents were too strong. It’s not that Purge Day and Don Damas are too skilled, it’s that they’re lacking.”
“Oh, I agree with you. Unfortunately for both teams, this tournament was overdone. To be honest, if it was the year before last, they would have been competing for first or second place.”
-That's true lol
-Really ㅋㅋ Since people of the same level fight each other, the potential actually survives better
-???: Ugh… … Of all places, I have to meet Purge Day and Don Damas in the quarterfinals!
-No lol is that an honorable death lol
-I told you you did a good job, so why are you like that?
While the viewers were laughing, Wanggeom quickly changed the subject. Now it was time to announce the finals.
“Okay! But the world of competition is always cold! The two teams that have made it through fierce competition! The final between Purge Day and Don Damas awaits us!”
“Yes. It’s the long-awaited final! Long-awaited, this isn’t an empty phrase. A huge crowd has gathered at our broadcast right now!”
“Wow, I really didn’t know that this many people would come. Those who watched the MCK finals yesterday would know, but I think it’s because Elephant himself came and talked about the competition.”
Wanggeom accepted the words with a heartfelt sigh.
“Really! Surprisingly, the current viewership is almost 300,000! Not the total number of viewers for the competition so far, but right now! There are 300,000 people watching this broadcast! And there are almost 50,000 foreign viewers watching on the broadcast channel, so the total is 350,000!”
“What’s great about this is that the viewership is much higher than that of the second league. The average viewership of the MCK Challengers League is around 50,000, right? The MCK that ended yesterday also averaged 400,000. 400,000! No, but 350,000 from Crazy Smurf?!”
“If this is the case, then I wonder if we can really call the Crazy Smurfs an amateur competition.”
“No, I feel like I’ve been saying the same thing all season, but this tournament is truly one of the best ever!”
The chat window was filled with responses agreeing with him.
-But wasn't it already a new record on the first day of the group match?
-Really ㅋㅋ It was already a hit since the Purge Day game
-Ah haha, it was all thanks to Godple that Elephant promoted it
-To be honest, this tournament was all about purple coins lol
-I'm saying this because the competition is not the greatest ever, but because the greatest Smer participated.
In the meantime, Wanggeom received word that preparations were complete. He immediately began to organize his comments.
“We can’t keep so many people waiting any longer, right? The final match of the Crazy Smurfs, the finals, is ready!”
“It’s finally starting! I knew this was going to be the best ever even before I saw it.”
“Yes. And unlike the previous matches, the finals are best of five. I’m so thrilled that I can enjoy more of these wonderful matches.”
Up until the semi-finals, all matches were best-of-three, but the finals were different.
“That’s right! It could be a long-term battle. It’s fun for us to watch, but it’s an important issue for the players on both teams.”
“Both teams have already revealed their strength to some extent through the semifinals. How they will respond to that will be another point to watch.”
“Well, I wonder if both teams have prepared enough strategies! The first set of the finals begins!”
As the screen changed with the declaration of the King's Sword, the players from both teams were facing each other.
-Purge day! Purge day! Purge day!
-Let's go for the ultimate legend!
-Spoiler) It ends with a 3-game winning streak for Purge Day.
-Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
-Don Damas! Don Damas!
-Prize money is a paradise!
-Team games are a waste of money lol
The chat room was filled with cheers from both teams. However, the percentage was overwhelmingly in favor of Purge Day.
There was one reason.
-Ah haha I coached Elephant too, so you're saying he'd lose haha
-If you're a Tier One fan, cheer for Purge Day!
-Just light! Just heaven! Just perfect!
-The one who finishes Tier One and Purge Day with a win!?
It was because Tier One fans came to cheer on the Purge Day team after seeing Elephant's interview.
“Okay, let’s start the first set of bans and picks!”
“This is our first direct match, right? It’s a chance to see who each team is keeping an eye on!”
“It’s kind of like a first impression. It’s short, but it gives you an overall feel. It’s a decision that can affect the next set!”
The commentators' eyes widened at the subsequent ban picks and results.
“No, what the hell is going on!?”
“Wow, I used to anticipate things in advance because of the commentary. If a ban or pick like this comes up, I’ll have to explain it like this, but now all that preparation is useless!”
“I suddenly have a headache! My expectations were completely off from the first game.”
That's why the commentators started getting headaches out of the blue.
“Don Damas, I didn’t use a single ban card on Purple! Is that possible?”

“I wonder why, I keep thinking about it. If this happens, Yami, Perfect Yami will be open?”
“Don Damas doesn’t know Perfect Yami? There’s no way that could happen!? There must be a reason!”
Don Damas used his ban card on Genome, Skull Kim, and Park Weed's main champions.
As a result, Lee Kyung-bok was able to choose the champion he wanted.
“I think this is probably because it’s similar to the Latte Pro team. Don Damas’ strength is the synergy between the team members.”
“That’s right. It’s obvious that we have to lead it to a team-vs-team structure, a team value fight. That’s why Caffeine player didn’t focus his ban cards on Purple. But he did ban Yami, right?”
“Could it be that the Don Damas team has prepared a special plan for Yami? If not, this ban pick makes no sense.”
Wanggeom said that and moved on to the ban pick of Purge Day. Since time was limited, he couldn't focus on explaining only one team.
“As I said earlier, Don Damas wants to lead the team-vs-team structure. That’s why the Purge Day team also focused on lowering the value of the opposing team.”
“Yes. We fought on the same lane. Both sides got their mid and bottom lane players banned.”
“I didn’t hold back on the jungler Donkatsu player. This is confidence. I believe I can handle a Purple player!”
Soon, the given commentary time was up, and the champions of both teams were chosen. The commentators' jaws dropped wide at the announcement of the champions of both teams.
“Ah! It came out as expected!”
“Purple Player’s Yami! It’s the perfect Yami!”
“I never thought I’d see Perfect Yami at a competition! I’m really looking forward to this!”
Lee Kyung-bok's champion was, as expected, Yami.
-Ah haha I can't stand Perfect Yami!
-The game is over lol
-Really lol If K-Hokage comes out, you win, right? Lol!
-The return of the legend lol
-What the heck is going on from the first game!
The chat window was also filled with cheers. However, the commentators' reaction immediately changed.
“Don Damas picks against this… … Ah!”
“Money player, Pierstick! Pierstick is out!”
“Wow! This was a desperate measure! I kept it hidden away in preparation for the finals!”
Jungler, the champion chosen by Donkwak was 'Embodiment of Terror' Fierstick. It was a champion that he had not chosen in the previous matches, let alone in scrims.
“Don Damas’ hidden card has been revealed! If it’s Piercing, then it must have been prepared as a Yami Counter, right?”
“Yes. If it’s the ‘fear’ effect of Piercing Stick, then it can even block Perfect Yami! Is that what you’re thinking?”
“Anyone who has experienced this condition will know that it is completely impossible to operate!”
Piercing Stick's skill had the abnormal status effect 'Fear'. Although the duration was not long, the effect was enough to seal Yami.
“This means that we won’t fight directly. Even the money-based players know that if we fight directly, there’s no hope. That’s why we’re going to hold onto Yami while jungling and run away!”
“Yes. That’s enough. And during Hanta, you can also exclude Yami, right? And if you fight with the rest of the members, you win! That’s the calculation!”
“Hey, this basically means we’re going to play the game with both teams’ junglers separate. It’s a really bold but effective strategy!”
Now, the commentators who had finally read the intention of the ban pick were able to commentate with relief.
But the fans' position was different.
-Wow;;; As expected, Don Damascus Jam never goes away
-If you prepared for Pierce Stick, doesn't that mean you already expected the fuzzy day and the finals?
-You did so well that you actually succeeded in predicting it, lol
-Really ㅋㅋ It seems like Don Damas also applied the upper formula
-Then shouldn't it be done according to the formula? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Anyway, science won! Anyway, we won!
-Trust me, trust me!
-Then the key is how much the money value will handle the Pierstick.
-You'll know when you see it for yourself!
-Let's gooooooo!
The first set began amidst everyone's attention.
* * *
The Purge Day team moved together to prepare for the early invasion.
But soon, Lee Kyung-bok's eyebrows twitched.
'Separately excluded means… … '
As we got closer, the movements of the Don Damas team were strangely detected.
He figured out their plan and smiled faintly.
“That’s enough. Everyone, get back on line.”
"yes?
“Already?”
“That’s a bit dangerous… …”
Just as his teammates were starting to worry, enemies showed up in the top and mid lanes.
“Oh, it’s not Invega?”
“My lord, please take care of your health!”
The team members dispersed, relieved by their appearance. Lee Kyung-bok immediately headed to the enemy jungle.
Meanwhile, Skull Kim and Park Japcho arrived at the bottom line a beat late.
They pinged the minimap in a hurry.
[>Bottom Mia!]
[>Be careful!]
There were opponents in the top and mid lane, but the bottom lane was completely empty.
Eclipse and Genome were also perplexed by this.
[>No, fishing?]
[>My lord! I will go!]
[>No, we'll back it up!]
[>Come down!]
Everyone was in a hurry, but Lee Gyeong-bok was relaxed.
"it's okay."
He noticed the faraway Pierstick and the money and smiled.
“Please focus on your respective lines.”
It was an emergency for them, but not for Lee Kyung-bok. He had already figured out Don Damas's movements.
The reveal of the top and mid laners was a trick to show that it wasn't an invasion, and Donga and the bottom duo waited in the jungle for him to come.
Nevertheless, he deliberately threw himself into the trap set by his opponent.
'The fear effect is clear… … '
A cold threat enveloped his body before he could even think. Pierstick's mouth opened wide and a scream burst out.
The reason why the champion was chosen was because of Piercing Stick's skill, 'Masculine'.
"it's okay!"
“Got it!”
The ranged dealer and supporter who had been hiding in the bushes appeared happily. However, they were not visible to Lee Kyung-bok.
With the fear effect applied, the field of vision narrowed as if looking into a hole, and the skill resource, chakra, decreased.
And most of all, my body wouldn't listen to me.
“There’s a line in my favorite novel that says:”
A voice called out from in front of him. In his small field of vision, Pierstick was running towards him, holding a huge scythe.
“Three against one.”
With those words, three men attacked him.
* * *
The commentators immediately let out a sigh.
“Ah! Don Damas’ surprise operation is a success!”
“This is tough! It’s too late to back up from mid or bottom! No item and fear! Even the most purple player can’t escape this!”
“Purge Day Team! Are you going to lose your First Blood so easily? This is a big snowball! It’s too big!”
They accepted Lee Gyeong-bok's death as a done deal. But the situation that followed was different from what they expected.
“Huh, huh, huh!? What the heck is going on!?”
“Purple Player dodged!? Was it a coincidence!?”
“No, no! Now, Purple Player! I’m dodging all the attacks!”
A series of Piercing Strikes that flowed like water against the pouring projectiles. It was a combined attack by three champions that lived up to Don Damas’ reputation.
But Lee Kyung-bok avoided all of that without a care.
“The fear effect isn’t over yet!? The icon is definitely floating above my head!”
“What the heck!? No! I’m going to counterattack, I’m going to counterattack! The money player, I’m panicking!”
“Recovering the consumed chakra! I’ve formed a water seal, water seal! I’m being pushed back by the money-valued player’s knockback!”
The commentators' eyes widened as if they were going to pop out. Their voices grew louder naturally, not forced.
“Did the fear effect get patched?! What the hell is going on!?”
“Vision, your vision is absolutely impossible!? When you go to an optician’s, they have you look at a hot air balloon when they do your vision test, right? Your vision becomes narrower than that!”
“The vision isn’t the problem right now! It doesn’t make sense to move your body in the first place!? When you’re scared, the control system becomes distorted! It’s a mechanism that causes your body to move differently than intended!”
Unlike the commentators who had no idea what was going on, the chat room was filled with laughter.
-Oh lol, did Godple do a preview of this?
-Really ㅋㅋ If it's your first time, you might get scammed, but it's not your first time, right?
-Looking at the adaptability he showed back then, it seems like he just lost some of his blood ㅋㅋㅋ
The fans knew.
This wasn't Purple's first experience.
-Demonk's help turned out to be this helpful?
-At that time, I wore the evil spirit like clothes.
-The horror effect is just child's play compared to that, lol
It was because I had a similar experience while conquering Demon Must Cry, especially the Realm of Wrath.
Wanggeom, who had been watching the chat, confirmed the report.
“Ah! I heard that Purple Player is already familiar with this mechanism!”
“Are you familiar with it? Is this something that you can get used to!? But Purple Player wouldn’t know! If this happens, it’s Don Damas who’s in danger!”
“That’s right! It was supposed to end quickly, but instead of finishing it, we’re being counterattacked!”
“Oh, oh, oh! The icon is fading! The fear effect is ending!?”
Their predictions were wrong again.
[First Blood!]
[Perfect Play Ransom]
A kill message that appeared before the abnormal status ended.
The supporter fell.
“Pubble! Pubble is out! Purple takes the first point aaaaah!”
“I drew Don Damas Big Picture, but things are not going well! I drew the picture big, but it’s completely torn!”
“Oh my god! I see the kill in a state of horror! What the hell is going on? Purple player even surpassed the systemoooooo!”
The commentators raised their voices enthusiastically. The excitement was transmitted to the viewers as well.
-This is it! This is perfect Yamiji!
-System transcendence f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is crazy for realㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah haha, feel free to draw the big picture
-Big rip! Big rip! Big rip!
-5252, Geniuses are not bound by systems!
-Money worth itㅋㅋㅋ He said that because he knew he'd winㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-???: Three against one (actually said)
-I wish they would stop the orchard…
-When will the bird drink poison?
Three against one.
But let me put it another way.
-What does it matter if three or how many come? Lol
-Really lol whoever comes, they can't beat Perfect Yami
-Now the 'Perfect Snowball' is rolling?
That meant that one was capable of dealing with three.
