The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 209

Episode 209 – Season Finale (2)

Event match preparation time.

The Purge Day team was waiting in the game lobby.

“Wow, I’ve actually played games with Tier One in my lifetime.”

Genome opened his mouth with a moved expression. Eclipse, who was next to him, also smiled brightly.

“It’s a rare opportunity. I always look forward to fighting the strong.”

Lee Kyung-bok looked at the two people and smiled, then quickly turned his head away.

“Are you two okay?”

Unlike them, Skull Kim and Park Japcho looked visibly nervous. The two flinched at Lee Kyungbok’s words and then let out an awkward laugh.

“Ah, when I first heard about it, it didn’t feel real… … ”

“I’m really nervous about competing against a real Tier One.”

Naturally, Lee Kyung-bok explained this event match to his team members as soon as it was decided.

At the time, everyone was interested. However, unlike Genome and Eclipse, who had considerable broadcasting experience, the two were unable to shake off the burden.

“To be honest, I’m worried that I might make a mistake.”

“After all, we are the least skilled… … ”

Lee Kyung-bok, who was looking at the two timid people, smiled faintly.

“The opponent is a professional gamer. It’s inevitable that there will be a difference in skill level. But it can’t end there.”

At those words, two people raised their heads.

“The important thing is to then ask the question, ‘So what do we do?’”

“How?”

“Yes. What should we do? We can’t reduce the skill gap right away. Should we just give up? Is that what you two want?”

The two men shook their heads.

Regardless of the difficulties, I knew this opportunity was important.

“But like Purple said, there’s nothing we can do right now… … ?”

“No, there is.”

"yes?"

Lee Kyung-bok looked at the two people's wide-open eyes alternately and spoke.

“You could ask for help.”

“Help?”

“We’re not a team for nothing.”

Eclipse spoke from the side. Kyungbok Lee nodded as if he agreed with what she said.

“The game is meant to be enjoyed, right? I’ll gank from time to time. Let’s dominate the lane together.”

The expressions on both of their faces improved significantly. Didn't Lee Kyung-bok say that he was the one who was watching over them?

“Hey, and it’s okay if you die. Honestly, dying is also beneficial.”

Then Genome added with a sly voice.

“Honestly, which Smer has ever died to a Tier One? This can be used as a storytelling tool. But what if you manage to get a kill? Oh, then you’re in luck!”

The match itself was a great asset to the streamer. Lee Kyung-bok agreed with a laugh.

“That’s true too. In the end, the key is whether you can enjoy it.”

If you are happy, the viewers will be happy too. Lee Kyung-bok's basic premise has not changed.

“As expected, you have a different mindset.”

“Really, I learned a lot.”

Skull Kim and Park Japchae also laughed at this.

“Let’s go have fun!”

Before we knew it, the preparation time was over.

* * *

The king's sword and the commentators began to speak in excited voices.

“Okay! You’ve waited a long time. The greatest event match of all time, the showdown between Purge Day and Tier One! It’s about to start, right?”

“Yes, that’s right! However, since this is an event match, it’s not a best of three, but one set! It will end in just one match.”

“Pro gamer vs amateur, it’s a shame because it seems like it’ll end quickly if you just listen to it, right? But this time, the amateur isn’t amateur at all!”

Wanggeom nodded his head actively.

“That’s right! I’m sure the Tier 1 players also felt something unusual while watching this final match?”

“Of course. Especially the great scenes that Purple showed! The Tier 1 players must have been very surprised! That’s why it seems likely that this ban pick will be focused on Purple.”

“Oh, I can’t stand this! Yami is the basic, and Lee is the master of solo Duke, and Diego showed off his solo 1:5 team fight at the end. How can I just leave it after seeing all that?”

The commentators shook their heads as they spoke. Most of the people in the chat room also agreed.

“Then, Barzan and Ragnel remain. Ragnel is also Elephant’s main champion, right? There is no reason to ban him as a Tier 1.”

“Oh, then maybe there could be a Purple player’s Barzan pick or a Ragnell mirror match!”

“Yes, on the other hand, the ban picks of the Purge Day team are likely to focus on reinforcing the weak lanes. In fact, it’s surprising to say this, but honestly, Purple has the advantage in jungle fights? This is something that Elephant has already acknowledged.”

“That’s right. So I don’t think they’ll be focusing on the jungle, and there’s an Eclipse player in the top lane, right? I expect they’ll focus on the mid and bottom lanes.”

The commentators who were explaining like that soon frowned.

“But this is where the difference between amateurs and professionals becomes apparent. Even though Tier 1 players are sub-champions, their skill level doesn’t show a big gap.”

“This difference is inevitable! It’s like the difference between a major student and a liberal arts student in the same class. There’s bound to be a difference in understanding!”

“Huh? But aren’t all the Purple players good?”

“Oh, he’s a double major.”

“And he is not only a student, he also completed his master’s and doctoral degrees and became a professor.”

-Oh lol, that's the oldest

-The commentators' analogies were crazy today lol

-What is a double major professor? Lol

-Professor Gotple, your class is too difficult.

-The practical part is the hardest part lol

-Really lol So I'll just audit the class

The commentators, who had been laughing with the viewers, soon spoke in a serious voice again.

“Anyway, back to the main topic, the ban picks of the Purge Day team are not about choosing the best. It feels like choosing the lesser of two evils to avoid the worst.”

“That’s right. After all, the weakest part is the bottom lane. The mid lane is somewhat supported by Purple players going up and down and ganking, but there is a high possibility of bloodshed in the bottom lane.”

“Then, Purple’s performance will be very important in this match! Closing the gap while controlling with ganking will be the key to victory!”

-This is the eldest

-The heavy-duty duo is good, but not that great.

-Really lol. It's a good thing that there haven't been any holes so far.

-This time, I think I need to take extra care of myself.

-If you're Tier 1, you'll really die a lot lol

Then, once the preparations were complete, the bans and picks of both teams began. And the commentators couldn't help but be astonished.

“Wow, this is it! Tier One has really put a lot of thought into coming up with a strategy!”

“Wow, this is completely unexpected!”

“Eclipse players are being heavily targeted here! They’ve even banned Gaien and Kaiser Mode!”

The ban picks of the Purge Day team were as expected, but Tier One did not ban a single one of Lee Kyung-bok's champions.

“The last card is Genome’s Brandon!? This is unexpected! He blew up the sub-champ!”

“Wow, I thought it would be a little looser because it was an event match? Like, the first pitch in baseball!”

“Oh, absolutely not! This is a full-on serious matchup! My head lit up as soon as I saw the ban picks! These are some really exquisite ban picks!?”

“Can you explain in a little more detail please?”

The commentators spoke quickly in excited voices.

“Tier One is confident in their own skills. Of course. As a pro gamer, it’s a fact that they are better than amateurs, right? But there’s a variable. It’s player Purple!”

“That’s right. So we expected that the focus would be on Purple players who would rule out variables, but Tier One’s judgment was different!”

“In what way is it different?”

“Purple players are uncontrollable! Even if you lead them to Barzan or Ragnell, how much will the value of Purple players decrease? This is the premise of the current ban/pick!”

“That’s right! That’s why the top and mid laners are under pressure instead! Eclipse has never revealed a third champion before? Is he ready? And DD is all about skill, but card shuffling and luck play a bigger role!”

“Aha, it looks like you’ve definitely made a choice that will blow away the power of the Purge Day team! But this will open up Yami. We’ll have to wait and see if this is the right choice! Now, the champions of both teams will be revealed!”

The commentators sighed as they watched the champions of both teams.

“Oh, Eclipse player chose Tourinda right now? But looking at the record, he doesn’t have many plays.”

“It seems like he chose a champion that uses a greatsword. In fact, Eclipse’s Mystic career is not that long. It seems like it was difficult to prepare for the third champion.”

Eclipse's choice was 'Barbarian Chief' Turinda. As predicted by the commentators, he was a stopgap champion.

“But still, Purple Player, I chose Yami! Perfect Yami is back in the end!”

“Elephant player chose Ragnell. In this case, it looks like Purge Day team has the upper hand in the jungle. Purple player will have to shoulder a bigger burden.”

“Tier One is really sincere. It’s not a variety show pick at all! That means the Purge Day team is highly rated!”

Wanggeom cleared his throat slightly and said.

“I didn’t expect a match where people would laugh out loud because it was an event! Rather, this fierce competition makes my heart beat even hotter! What will the result be? Let’s find out now!”

Fuzzy Day and Tier One.

The final stage of Crazy Smurf has begun.

* * *

The match was surprisingly close.

'I'm glad that Mr. Ikle promoted it.'

Eclipse, who chose Turinda, was not familiar with using skills, but was able to hold out sufficiently with the swordsmanship and physical strength he had learned over time.

'Thanks to that, I was able to maintain a precarious balance.'

This allowed Lee Kyung-bok to focus on the mid and bottom lanes with peace of mind. Thanks to his ganking and his involvement in the lane battle, neither lane was pushed back.

'But the snowball keeps rolling.'

But as time passed, the gap widened.

Eclipse in the top lane was too focused on holding out to get much CS, and Lee Kyung-bok was too focused on protecting both lanes to do much jungle or counter jungle.

“Whoa, thank you, boss! Miss, it just so happens that the skill card wasn’t drawn… …!”

He once again rescued Genome from the mid lane. Lee Kyung-bok ran straight to the bottom lane without even having time to respond.

“Slow after 3 seconds, support only.”

While Skull Kim and Park Japchoe were being pushed back, Lee Kyung-bok gave a short order and formed a fire-attribute water seal.

But soon he changed his mind.

'this……!'

Looking at the kill log, it seemed that Skull Kim was about to die. So he made a new seal.

Soon, a strong wave crashed down on the opponent.

“Whoa… … !”

“The speed is crazy.”

Tier One's bottom duo was knocked back and their aim was off. They pulled away without hesitation, leaving Skull Kim with the last attack left.

“Go, thank you!”

“Give me Heal. I’ll chase after you.”

At Lee Kyung-bok's words, the two immediately followed him. But that didn't last long either.

A clear threat was detected in Lee Gyeong-bok's mind.

“Take it out!”

At the same time as those words were spoken, a black shadow covered Skullkim. It was Elephant, Ragnell's backup.

But the claw was blocked by a shuriken.

'As expected, the connection is amazing.'

The bottom duo, who had turned their backs and run away, returned and started firing bullets and projectiles.

Of course, it didn't hit Lee Kyung-bok. He twisted his body to dodge and bound the two with a wooden seal.

At this, the elephant immediately prepared to attack in front of the two people.

“Got it!”

"at las……!"

Skull Kim and Park Japcho, who had retreated in shock, tried to run forward again. However, Lee Gyeongbok blocked their path.

“No, take it out. The mid laner is coming.”

As soon as I said that, a ping appeared on the minimap.

As soon as the fight started, the mid laner left the line, choosing to roam for backup.

[>Mid Mia!]

[>Wow, when did you disappear?]

The following genome chat.

“Get out before you get hit in the back of the head.”

"yes yes!"

“No, how did you do it so quickly… … ”

Skull Kim and Park Japchae blinked their eyes as if they were possessed.

Lee Kyung-bok stepped back and checked his opponents. They did not chase after him recklessly.

'Pros are different after all.'

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

'It's definitely fun.'

It was a good idea to invite Tier One. Lee Kyung-bok was once again satisfied with his choice.

Isn't it more fun when the game gets tough?

'But if it continues like this, I'll lose.'

Tier One was professional and cool-headed.

They avoided making aggressive plays on each line and took advantage steadily.

'Rather, if we waste time, it will be disadvantageous for us.'

The team members were giving their all, but it was difficult to overcome the skill gap. And Lee Kyung-bok himself had limitations in covering the line.

'To destroy a snowball that is already rolling… … '

The flow had to be changed.

To do that, we needed variables.

Lee Kyung-bok's smile grew even brighter.

'I guess I'll have to cause an avalanche.'

A variable that turns the game around.

It was only him.
