Episode 212 – Double the Advertisement! (1)
Early afternoon.
Dandy's professional gamer, Ambush, turned on the broadcast. As soon as the broadcast started, the number of viewers skyrocketed.
“Hello, everyone!”
Ambush smiled and gave a short greeting. The chat with the viewers who returned to him was also conducted in English. Most of them were overseas viewers, with a small number of Korean viewers.
-Wolcl Suyeon lol
-Look at the American tricks that are fast.
-Ambush is really great lol
-MVP isn't something that just anyone can ride.
But Korean viewers were also tolerant of that situation.
“What time is it in the US now? Oh, it varies from state to state. Anyway, thank you for coming at this late hour, and welcome to the Korean viewers.”
This was because Ambush's English skills were not very good.
However, the reason why many overseas viewers came was because the club, Dandy, provided real-time interpretation.
Thanks to this, he was able to continue speaking comfortably.
“You know why I turned on the broadcast today, right? But there might be some people who don’t know, so I’ll just briefly mention it.”
As he moved his hand, the official Mystic League channel appeared on the screen.
“Wow, this one went up another million in the meantime. Anyway, you all saw these videos, right? If you haven’t, go watch them. They’re shorts, so you’ll see them quickly.”
-Even if it's shorts, 15 million lol
-Gotple is a bit strong
-I saw it on a Korean channel and then I saw it again in North America lol
-It's still fun no matter how many times I watch itㅋㅋㅋ
Ambush smiled as he looked at the chat window. Since there were many English chats, the Korean chats stood out more.
“That’s right. This is really fun even if you don’t do Mystic League. Anyway, today I’d like to talk about the star of this hot video, Purple.”
He paused briefly and rolled his eyes.
“Actually, it wasn’t because of this video that I got to know this person. Overseas viewers may not know, but Perfect Yami was popular in Korea, right? That was the first time I saw Purple.”
-When Perfect Yummy first came out I was really crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow, I can't believe this is my first time doing Mystic.
-The beginning of the first fuzzy day ㅎㄷㄷ
-There's still no one who's succeeded in the challenge that was popular back then, lol
Embush continued speaking with relief at the viewers' sympathy.
“But at the time, it was the height of the MCK preparation season, so I wasn’t really interested. I was just like, ‘Wow, this guy is really good.’ What really got me interested was the interview with Elephant during the opening game.”
The name Purple was officially announced in the Mystic League during the MCK opening game interview.
“But even then, I didn’t have time to find out. It’s hard to take time out when the competition is in full swing. I was busy analyzing the opposing team, and I put a lot of effort into analyzing the Elephant players in particular.”
Dandy and Tier One were rival teams in the pro scene, and Elephant was in the same position as them, so it was natural that they would be concerned about each other.
“But the more that happened, the more interested I became. And then I lost in the finals of MCK. So I became even more curious.”
The chat window was filled with tear emoticons. Most of them were Dandy fans, expressing their disappointment at the loss in the finals.
“No, but as you all know, it was a match where I had no choice but to concede. Wow, I could really feel that Elephant had changed a lot.”
Ambush, the person involved, continued speaking with a relaxed expression.
“It’s not that this is a different level from before, but the beginning and the end of the league are different. Rather than saying my skills have improved, I feel like I’ve grown internally. My play has become more active and unstoppable.”
He let out a series of exclamations as if recalling the game, then nodded his head.
“I think this is also due to Purple’s influence. I had that suspicion. Elephant also mentioned this during the final interview, right? He said he coached him on the day. But after watching the video that came up this time, my suspicion became certain.”
Ambush then selected a video and played it.
“Oh, that’s right. I won’t talk about Perfect Yami today. I can’t talk about something I don’t know, right? Not only me, but I don’t think there’s anyone among the pros who would talk about Perfect Yami.”
The video he chose was the most viewed one, Master Lee's solo Duke strategy.
“Wow, this is crazy even when I watch it again. The play is amazing, but what is that? Is it called mise-en-scène? The way the universe moves in this poisonous fog is truly a work of art.”
-The comment that it's not a masterpiece but a perfect piece is perfect ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol I thought it was a dog food collector
-I recommend this to everyone regardless of nationality lol
-I didn't know Mystic was such a cool game!
-Isn't that because the T-shirts are just bangts bangts?
-The fact is so painful lol
As expected of a short video, Ambush watched it once and then opened his mouth again.
“While watching this video, I felt that champion evaluation has become a kind of stereotype.”
At those words, question marks spread across the chat window. Unlike a moment ago, Ambush’s expression was now serious.
“You all know what Master Lee is evaluated as, right? In a nutshell, it’s ‘a champion that’s fun to play alone.’ Why is that? The skill set itself is passive and strengthened, so the difficulty isn’t that high. But the kill rate is also high. The defense and damage are that much more meritorious.”
He immediately frowned slightly.
“But when it comes to team play, it’s a different story. Why is the Mastery pick rate so low in the pro scene? The individual value is high, but the team value is almost non-existent. There’s no CC for the slow lane, right? So the team dependence is high.”
There was no hesitation in Ambush's evaluation. It was not only his own thoughts, but also those of other pro-gamers.
“If there is no response, you can’t gank. So rather than improving the team value, it feels like you are losing a champion spot. However, Purple’s Master Lee. Master Pur is completely different.”
His stiff expression relaxed. His eyes began to shine.
“I told you about team value, right? In the end, each player and each champion must contribute to the team to increase the chances of victory. What kind of contribution did Master Fur make? This is it! This is it!”
He raised his voice, pointing to the video playing on repeat.
“Solo Duke raid, people say it’s great and awesome just by considering the difficulty, but it’s even more incredible when you consider the team value. No, think about it. The team members’ time and resources that go into raiding Duke are considerable, right? But if you do it all by yourself, you save that much. And when your team members benefit from it, you get a buff too? That’s a real game changer!”
The viewers also followed his passionate speech.
-Kya hahaha this is correct
-There are so many people who don't know this lol

-Ah haha, you have to look at the forest and not the trees!
-But that tree was the world tree?
-The world tree, f*ckㅋㅋㅋ
-How can you see the forest when the world tree is standing there? LOL
“Ah, the World Tree! It’s perfect because even the aura is green!”
Ambush also burst into laughter in the chat. The interpreter was embarrassed, but it was none of his business.
“Anyway, if Master Lee users follow Purple’s lead even halfway, it will become a must-have champion. But everyone will admit this, but is there anyone who can raise the value of Master Lee to Purple’s level? I can guarantee you that there isn’t a single person in the entire world. The Universe’s Only Sword appeared during the broadcast, right? This isn’t just a meme. It’s real! It’s the real Only Sword.”
He concluded his words and played the next video. It was a video of Diego's 1:5 team fight and his 5 consecutive ultimates.
“Wow, this is really… …! This is the main topic for me.”
Ambush was speechless for a moment, only to exclaim in admiration. He had good reason to be so.
-A play that even surprised Diego Pro ㅋㅋㅋ
-I guess he realized that I was even crazier because I did well lol
-Ah haha, that's the truth
-But Ambush also tried Diego's 5 consecutive palaces, right?
Because Diego was the main champion of Ambush. He checked the chat and quickly waved his hand.
“No, I tried it too. But this is different! It’s not the same at all! I’ll explain that to you too.”
Ambush cleared his throat with a short cough.
“I do have some pride as a Diego craftsman. But after watching this video, I immediately became humble. You mentioned it in the chat window, but you did a 5-hit palace? I did that. But I didn’t do it in a 1:5 situation.”
-Suddenly polite lol
-No lol what is that putting both hands together lol
-Well, it happened in a 5:5 fight lol
-Isn't that awesome too?
Ambush, who was watching the chat, became serious.
“Let me be clear here. I can’t be sure of this, having ‘alone’ robbed myself of my existence five times in a row. Please interpret what I just said clearly.”
He definitely emphasized it and paused for a moment to check the interpretation. Only after checking everything like that did he begin his explanation.
“The reason for this is that those who have played Diego will probably get the hang of it. It is very difficult due to the nature of the skill. First, I will explain the suppression and movement skill, ‘Spirit Suppression’.”
Ambush paused the screen. It was a scene where Lee Kyung-bok was stunning the enemy ranged attacker, Felios.
“It’s almost always a characteristic of a mobile device, but it’s hard to respond immediately when you teleport like this. You really need to have great physical strength, from recognition to reaction, right? Purple-nim is really perfect in this. At least you’ve proven this so far, so let’s just move on.”
Soon he moved to another scene, hiding himself in a ghostly fog.
“This is really important. Those who have tried it will know it as soon as they see it. From the perspective of the person being affected by the Phantom Fog, it seems like a really good skill, right? But from the perspective of the person actually using it, it’s not that good. Why? Even the player can’t see the vision obscured by the fog.”
When the fog spreads, vision is obscured. But it is not only for the opponents, but also for Diego himself.
“Diego is in hiding. That’s why he has the upper hand. But that’s only in a 1:1, or at best, 1:2 situation. In a 1:5 situation, you can gain the upper hand just because the fog spreads a bit? That doesn’t make sense. The opponent isn’t stupid. If you look, he’ll come out of the fog right away.”
As the fog cleared, the members of Don Damas came out and surrounded the area.
“Come out and attack at this time? You’ll be out of stealth and killed instantly. That’s why it’s usually used as a survival tool in these cases, but that’s not really a good choice. But this is where Purple’s sense comes into play.”
Ambush brought up the pointer and started drawing a red line.
“You subdued Pelios before he could spread the fog, right? That prevented him from spreading shotguns into the fog. But if you look here, the enemy has completely sealed off the area. So this is the only way out, and there’s no way the enemy wouldn’t know about it.”
His explanation continued with rapidly drawn arrows.
“If you fall here? The Noklus Anchor will fly right in. If you get caught, you know what happens next, right? That’s why Purple chose to take a chance. And you saw the end of it here!”
As I moved my hand, the red lines disappeared and the video started playing again. A splendid battle unfolded, starting with Pelios.
“To be honest, I think this is even better than the solo Duke strategy. It’s not that I’m biased because I’m a Diego user, but the depth of the gameplay is different!”
His voice grew louder and faster, but he continued speaking with clear pronunciation.
“The commentators did a great job explaining things. Accurate damage calculations and understanding of champions, not just physical prowess. Isn’t this real gaming skill? This is the alpha and omega of the Mystic League!”
-This is so true lol
-Maybe it's because I don't know much, but the explanation is so concise ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really ㅋㅋ If you only talk about fuzzy things, you're really being rude.
-As expected, Diego is a master craftsman.
The viewers also did not hold back their enthusiastic response. Ambush continued speaking with a much more relaxed expression.
“In my case, my teammates poured out damage in team fights, so there was no need to calculate. I just had to rush into the enemy team and it was a success. But Purple, you stole existence, and you even used champion skills to the fullest, and you saw both ultimate and kill shots, right?”
He shook his head with a sigh, as if he was still surprised when he thought about it again.
“Wow, this is… … It’s a difficult play even if you coordinate with your opponent in advance. The physicality, sense, understanding of the champion, and even the timing. These four beats are really perfect.”
-After hearing the explanation, it got even crazier lol
-The four-beat thump was crazy lol
-Are you a pervert? LOL
-Ah, haha, if you do it four times, I have no choice but to admit it.
While the viewers were satisfied, he moved on to the last video.
“As I said at the beginning, I can’t explain Yami. But I realized this after watching this. There’s a reason Purple-nim isn’t a pro.”
It was the last Penta Kill scene in the event match with Tier One. He laughed as question marks spread across the chat window.
“It’s because Purple-nim hasn’t come to the pro scene. His skills are already at a pro level among pros.”
-Oh my gosh, you're really being truthful today.
-Really ㅋㅋ If you enter the pro scene, you'll be recognized right away
-???: How is Godple an amateur?
-???: How can you call yourself a pro when you're not a pro?
-Yay, hahaha, is it Perseho this time? hahaha
-This is a real pro-fanity scam lol
-Really lol I won't participate in the pros lol
Ambush laughed while watching the chat, then sighed.
“I really understood Elephant’s feelings while watching the Crazy Smurf video this time. I’m so grateful that I got the chance to receive help from someone like this.”
He then looked at the camera and smiled.
“In that sense, if Purple-nim happens to see this broadcast later, please contact me anytime and I would be grateful.”
And he bowed his head respectfully.
“I would like to ask you to teach me when I have the chance.”
* * *
Around the same time, in a study room downtown.
The four members of Team Perfect were monitoring Ambush's broadcast together.
"and……"
As the video ended, Cho Dae-han let out a sigh. Even though it wasn't his business, something inside his heart was pounding.
'Our boss, the more I get to know him, the more I realize how amazing he is.'
If you merge with Ambush, your reputation will rise even higher.
He looked around at the others with shining eyes, thinking they all felt the same way.
“Hey, Park. This isn’t a separate official offer, is it?”
“None. I think it was because it was the player’s personal decision.”
“Then I guess I can decline by saying I’m busy with my schedule.”
The other three people had different thoughts. At this, Jo Daehan's eyes widened.
Lee Kyung-bok, who saw that expression, immediately smiled and explained.
“Ah, the reason I helped Elephant is… … ”
The reason I ended up helping Elephant was because of my relationship with Director Baek Kang-min. There was no need to talk about the funeral, so I gave a brief explanation.
“Oh, that kind of thing… … ”
“That’s why helping the rival team Dandy is something that should be avoided.”
“Right. I haven’t even seen your face in person.”
Cho Dae-han felt a little regretful, but soon shook it off.
'Well, our CEO is such a person! There's no need to feel sorry for a genius recognized by the world.'
He has already become known to the world as he has been featured on official channels. He was well-known even without being associated with Ambush.
“I don’t think it’ll be a problem, so let’s start over.”
“Oh, where did we end the conversation?”
“We were discussing the following content!”
“Ah, that’s right. What does Mr. Genom do?”
Lee Gyeong-bok nodded his head at Choi Byeong-hun’s question.
“They said that the rule was that after Crazy Smurf ended, the team would do some after-party content.”
“Oh, that’s right. Usually, the teams that make it to the semifinals have a fun after-party.”
“Oh, but since we won, he told us to wait so he could plan it properly.”
“Then we can leave that to Genie and just worry about ourselves. We can’t rest forever.”
The Crazy Smurf Competition, which was Purge Day's debut stage and a long-term project, has ended. As they had not rested for a while, the viewers were generous in accepting the hiatus.
But taking a break didn't mean I could rest comfortably. As a streamer, I had to think about the next content.
“But I heard GGG made another offer?”
Park Joo-ho nodded his head at Lee Kyung-bok’s question.
“I got an email last night. I guess they were waiting for Crazy Smurf to end.”
“Hey, but didn’t you say you’d put that ad on hold? It wasn’t a cancellation, it was a proposal?”
When Choi Byung-hoon looked puzzled, Park Joo-ho smiled.
“I guess they decided that those conditions wouldn’t work. This is a newly updated proposal.”
While he was preparing the files, Cho Dae-han clenched his fists and his eyes lit up.
“Whoa… …! As expected, boss! Your value keeps rising!”
“Hey, it’s actually better to postpone it! How about postponing it once more?”
Choi Byeong-hun was also playing along with him.
“It won’t be too late to decide after looking at the proposal. And this time, there are things more important than money.”
“What’s more important?”
Park Joo-ho opened the file. The logo appeared in front of the three people who were confused.
The logo had a big 'R' instead of 'GGG'.
Lee Kyung-bok wondered what this was, but the other two were different.
“Huh? Manager, what is this?”
“What is this? Why is this here?!”
When they were startled and frightened, Lee Kyung-bok's eyes opened even wider. What is this logo that makes them so surprised?
“What is this?”
“I thought you wouldn’t know.”
Park Joo-ho smiled at Lee Kyung-bok's reaction and opened the hologram document.
“While Crazy Smurf was in progress, GGG increased the scale of their advertising. To be exact, the timing was right. They decided to collaborate with an overseas game company.”
“Overseas game company? Then this logo?”
Lee Kyung-bok could see the logo, and the faces of Choi Byeong-hun and Jo Dae-han beyond it.
Both of them looked as if they couldn't believe it.
“The boss really quit playing games and bought them.”
“I always say I can’t get used to it. How can I not know this logo?”
Choi Byeong-hun said with a laugh.
The developer using this logo is none other than.
“Have you heard of GAT?”
GAT was developed by Rock and Roll Games, the developer of Grand Auto Thief.
