I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 66
Returned, the World is Not Ruined -66-
066.
Sponsored by Banco Spirits and SI Entertainnt (the organizers of the EVO tournant), and hosted by Twork, the Iron Fist tournant.
Twork Rivals: Iron Fist Invitational.
A event where strears from South Korea, China, and Japan participated, the qualifications were quite loose due to its event nature, resulting in a considerable number of strears participating.
As a result, there were preliminary matches for each country.
[“Idohyuk’s broadcast has started.”]
Idohyuk’s broadcast started only after all the preliminary matches were over.
– The door’s open!
– They’re here!
– Do-ha
– Hyuk-ha
– Did you watch the preliminaries?
“Hello, everyone. Ah… I didn’t watch the preliminaries. But soone did upload a summary to Twork. They said Geomdoengso-nyeo won?”
– Yeah
– Quite impressive
– She seed to have practiced hard ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Geomhee was only briefly in a past season, but there was a ti she dominated.
Idohyuk was exempt from such preliminaries as an “invited guest.”
A qualification that allowed one person to be selected from each Twork branch in South Korea, China, and Japan.
Twork Korea had chosen Idohyuk.
“Thanks to Anatol-nim, I was able to skip the preliminaries.”
Of course, Anatol’s strong recomndation, who has wielded significant influence in the Korean gaming and internet broadcasting scene since the Ultimate Fighter days, played a major role.
But it wasn’t just for that one reason.
[Hm, is that so? / KR]
#1774
[72 wins 0 losses]
Idohyuk’s Iron Fist account record.
An undeniably impressive win rate.
Not a single loss in a single ga, maintaining a 100% win rate.
Moreover, he held the highest rank, just below the Godslayer, the Celestial God!
Considering the entire Asia server, this rank placed him within the top 200.
Above this, it could be said without exaggeration that 99 out of 100 Rankers were practically professional players.
And the Twok Rivals: Iron Fist Invitational was, after all, a strear competition.
Thanks to a trick by the creators of Iron Fist, Vanco Spirits, professional gars with “less than a year of pro experience” but “over a year of streaming experience” were allowed to participate. However, there weren’t many Korean pro gars who t these qualifications.
There might have been one or two if you looked closely…
[-Hey, you sure you won’t just embarrass yourself going out there?]
[-Are you crazy? I heard that Idohyuk guy is competing. You think you stand a chance against him?]
A professional player who t the criteria ntioned going out to Rivals was rely a conversation they overheard from other players around them.
In reality, it had already been several days since Idohyuk started Iron Fist.
The rumors about Idohyuk had spread among dostic pro gars a while ago.
Just a few days back, Anatol either taught or was taught in an educational broadcast.
[-Wow… Damn, he’s good!]
[-Looks like the guys didn’t just make up stories for nothing…]
[-Coach, can you help analyze this replay?]
A considerable number of them had faced defeat at least once in the past few days encountering Idohyuk’s account <Heumgeujeongdungga>.
Forr pros in Elpha had experienced being trounced once, and they, too, had recently gone through the sa.
Therefore, for a while, within various Iron Fist teams in Korea, a “solo queue alert” had been activated.
If you happened to et the wrong opponent, you’d end up getting stripped bare, your chanics getting twisted in strange ways.
Anyway-
Thus, Idohyuk beca the highest-ranked Korean gar among those participating in this competition.
With Anatol’s recomndation added to the mix, and considering that even within Twok Korea, this rookie strear Idohyuk had been gaining quite a bit of attention, it was only natural that he obtained the qualification to compete.
“Shall we watch the main tournant draw together then?”
-DGDG
-Shinjiro was supposed to et the Japanese invitee, right? If only they’d t right away lol
-No, eting in the finals would be more fun, honestly.
-Lololololol, those Japanese folks still don’t know much about Dohyuk-sensei.
-For real, I watched their community and they seed to think he’d already won.
Idohyuk spoke as he turned on the official broadcast of Twok Rivals.
With the preliminary rounds over and all the finalists decided, the drawing of the brackets was up next.
As he tuned in, he saw the Korean comntators watching the Japanese broadcast.
Although three countries participated, due to Twok Japan being the sponsor and organizer of the event, it seed that the draw was being conducted on the Japanese broadcast.
-What’s that lol
-Are we in the 20th century or what?
-Lmao lol lol
“..Wow.”
In true analog-loving Japanese fashion, the draw was being done manually in a studio, not through CGI.
Panels full of handcrafted traces of paper-folding, sticking, and adding were visible.
[Now, before we finally proceed with the eagerly awaited bracket draw!]
And at that mont.
“···Huh?”
[Today’s Special Guest is Here!]
With the announcent of a special guest, a figure appeared.
“Isn’t that person from back then?”
-hahahahaha.
-Yes, Hisashiburi.
-Student No. 4, co on in.
-hahahaha, nice to see you again.
-No. 4 is here, hahahaha.
Viewers welcod Student No. 4 with joy, calling out his na.
This No. 4 was a born from the Ultimate Fighter videos on his YouTube channel these days.
Student No. 1 was Black Girl, Student No. 2 was Anatol, Student No. 3 was ‘That Beyond,’ and Student No. 4 was…
From Noble mtl dot com
[The Emperor of the Japanese Fighting Ga World—!!! The star of the semi-finals legend in the last world championship—!]
“Wolfgang, right. Ah, what was his na again. It was… Chaki?”
-hahahaha, Chaki is the best.
-hahahaha, try to rember.
-Too much, hahahaha.
It was indeed Chaki.
“Now, let’s welco Player Chaki!”
“Oh, right. It’s Chaki. Skilled in dual-wielding weapons.”
-hahahaha, Chaki must rember Sensei Do-hyuk.
-He only rembers who he hits, doesn’t know the one who hit him well.
-How do you know that?
-Oh…
**
“Now, let’s welco Player Chaki!”
The comntator called out Chaki loudly.
The Emperor of the Japanese gaming world, the great Chaki, who showed overwhelming skills and won the recent Japan tournant!
Of course, across the sea in the peninsula, he was just ‘Student No. 4,’ but as a comntator, there were things yet to be known.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Chaki. Today, I et you not as a player but as a comntator. Please take care of .”
“hahahaha. We also ask for your care, Player Chaki. Oh! I heard that you initially rejected the offer to comntate but later changed your mind. Was there a special reason for that?”
“······”
Chaki, upon hearing the question, paused for a mont.
He would have been fully focused on practicing for EVO at the ti, but he had accepted the offer to comntate.
‘Why did I do that?’
He couldn’t say that he wanted to witness the despair of the foolish black mages who summoned the Demon Lord with their own hands, as revealing such thoughts was a taboo for a Japanese person.
“Ahem. It’s nothing special, just that among the strears participating in this tournant, there was soone I had my eye on, so I accepted the comntary offer for analytical purposes.”
That was Chaki’s response.
In truth, it was a sowhat truthful statent.
“Oh, sohow I feel like I know who that is. Could it be Shinjiro, the player?”
-www
-Everyone knows it’s the Shinjiro EVO Sending Competition www
-Who’s better at Iron Fist, Shinjiro or Tsuki? (laughs)
Of course, Tsuki’s words were interpreted by the casters and viewers as naturally referring to Shinjiro.
“Well, it could be, or it could not be. Although I’d like to speak my mind, I’ll refrain from doing so because if I ntion it, it might burden him in future competitions.”
Tsuki didn’t outright deny it either.
But he didn’t confirm it either.
If the conversation shifted from Shinjiro to Ido Hyuk, Tsuki might beco a traitor for supporting a Korean even before the main event started.
On the other hand, if it was about Shinjiro, he might hear criticisms of being ignorant about Iron Fist after the competition.
So, Tsuki gave an answer that could allow him to escape at any ti.
This was the attitude that a seasoned Japanese person should have.
-I’m curious about Tsuki’s thoughts on that Korean strear with an impressive win rate 草
At that mont, a ntion of Ido Hyuk ca up in the official broadcast chat.
The caster asked Tsuki about it.
“Oh, right. There’s a Korean strear who’s been a hot topic lately, right? Ido Hyo-ku. Has Tsuki t that strear?”
Using the sa Asian server as Korea, Japan naturally couldn’t help but be interested in Ido Hyuk’s account, which suddenly appeared and was breaking through top-tier gars with a 100% win rate.
However, only rumors were circulating, and detailed information about Ido Hyuk wasn’t widely known in Japan.
“He’s not in Iron Fist. I’ve faced him a few tis in Ultimate Fighter.”
“Hmm, I see. Tsuki must have won, right?”
“…I lost.”
“Eh-? Seriously?”
First and foremost, it wasn’t widely known that Tsuki had lost to Ido Hyuk in Ultimate Fighter.
[Gasp-!]
[Hmm… A gap here. Ah, here too]
[Thud! Boom! Clang!]
And it wasn’t just a loss; Tsuki, in derogatory terms, had been utterly defeated.
-www Is this for real?
-Hey, Tsuki- Forget about acting!
-Hey hey, it’s not even funny anymore
Tsuki’s viewers watched this unfold.
So, from the perspective of those who had been Tsuki’s longti fans from his days in Ultimate Fighter to now in Iron Fist, it was both understandable and unacceptable that Tsuki, who they had supported for so long, would be so thoroughly defeated by a random Korean.
At first, they probably thought it was a hidden cara prank.
But such defeats didn’t end after just one ti.
[Oh, oh no!]
[Hmm… That was good just now.]
Two tis, three tis…
[Sniff!]
[Hmm, it’s getting quite long now?]
[Thud! Clang! Bam!]
Eventually, as the 5th consecutive match unfolded.
And when Tsuki was defeated in that 5th match.
-Kkyaaah!
-Woah!
-This can’t be happening!
Faced with an overwhelming terror, they were on the brink of despair.
The strongest in Japan’s fighting ga scene, the reigning Iron Fist of Japan, the emperor of the Japanese fighting ga world, Tsuki, lost to a sudden appearance of a re strear?
It was different from Anatol and Beyond’s fans who faced similar situations.
It had to be that way.
Because the one who shattered their idol from their perspective was also a fellow Korean, Ido-hyuk.
But to Tsuki’s fans, Ido-hyuk was a foreigner.
Not just any foreigner, but a Korean… Kangkokujing!
No… Josenjing!
So, in order not to go insane, Tsuki’s fans chose one thod.
Brain record obliteration.
-Huh? Doyokku? Was there such a person?
-I have no idea?
-Tsuki played Alpa yesterday? That never happened?
In the end, after the battle of that day, Tsuki’s fans who ntioned the 5 consecutive matches between Ido-hyuk and Tsuki ceased to exist.
Bringing it up would damage Tsuki’s reputation, and ultimately their own.
During the Ultimate Fighter days, Tsuki, who was once ridiculed by fellow Japanese for losing to an inexperienced Anatol, endured those hardships.
As Tsuki’s fandom, who stood by each other through those tis of hardship, their solidarity extended beyond borders, making them the strongest in Japan!
It was because of this strength that they managed to withstand the rumors about the genius disaster called Ido-hyuk without spreading.
Moreover, Tsuki’s fandom didn’t stop there.
[Who owns this Korean account?]
Hmm, who could it be? / KR
#1774
The win rate is abnormal?
A few days ago, a post surfaced in Japan’s Iron Fist community.
-True, maybe it’s not Anatol www
-Apparently, it’s a Korean strear?
By the ti a comnt or two appeared there.
-That’s an abusive account lol
-lol They paid to post it
Similar comnts started pouring in, outnumbering the rest.
It was Tsuki’s fandom leaving those comnts.
In a corner of their hearts, such sentints resided.
“…You should suffer too.”
If Tsuki’s 5 consecutive losses were revealed, it would beco Tsuki’s sin.
The guy who heard the voice of the emperor of the Japanese fighting ga world dared to lose to an outsider.
But what if the person who was defeated wasn’t Tzuki alone?
If all the other Japanese gars also get defeated?
Then, it wouldn’t be just Tzuki’s personal sin anymore; it would beco a hardship that the Japanese fighting ga world as a whole must endure together.
So, hold on until then!
While hiding Tzuki’s defeat as much as possible!
“Oh, you were quite a skilled gar. But Ultimate Fighter is a ga of the past. I wonder how you’d fare in Iron Fist. Of course, you wouldn’t be a match for Shinjiro, the player, right?”
“hahahaha… Is that so?”
And on the other hand, Tzuki’s fandom had such hopes.
“Please let Ido Hyoku vs. Shinjiro happen in the Round of 16!”
“If not, at least in the quarterfinals…”
In this tournant, it would be great if Ido Hyoku could et Shinjiro as soon as possible.
The current emperor of the Japanese fighting ga world, Tzuki.
And the current prince of the Japanese fighting ga world, Shinjiro.
They were called the emperor and the prince, but wouldn’t it an that Shinjiro would eventually succeed Tzuki’s throne if you put it differently?
In fact, Shinjiro’s fandom often spread such rumors.
Shinjiro, who hadn’t even been playing Iron Fist for a year, was already at this level. If given more ti, he would soon defeat Tzuki, and then the Japanese fighting ga world would stand at the top of the world.
Apart from the friendly relationships between the players, from the fans’ perspective, it was a convincing argunt.
“Well, let’s start the draw!”
Thud, thud, thud…
And the draw results were revealed.
Round of 16, Match 1.
[Shinjiro] VS [Dark Maiden]
The wishes of Tzuki’s fans didn’t co true.
Round of 16, Match 7.
[Ido Hyoku] VS [Jao Lung]
Even Ido Hyoku was far away from Shinjiro.
It seed they would only et in the finals.
And when the first match ended.
“Oh-again…”
Even the comntator, who was quite thick-skinned, was left speechless.
[Shinjiro]
□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

The prince of the Japanese fighting ga world, Chosun Jeilgeom (Female), took the place!
