Chapter 189
=Ah, what is this…?
=The opposing team is not using ban cards or select cards!
=Is it still possible to play the ga like this?
Just as the comntators were puzzled by the Elven Coach’s choice.
=Oh…! According to the analysts, it is possible to play without using the two cards.
=By collecting three ban cards like this, they can definitely use more bans starting from the 4th ga!
=if they gather 3 select cards, they can definitively choose maps!
Having obtained information from the Association, the comntators were able to explain why the Elven Coach made that decision.
=Additionally, if they make it to the 5th ga after collecting 4 cards… there is a special effect allowing them to change the ga options as well!
=Changing options? What does that an?
=No detailed explanation was given. But since they’re giving up bans and selects for 4 gas, there probably aren’t many options they can change.
=But generally, isn’t it best to finish before the 5th ga? Seems using ban and select cards every ga would have the highest win rate instead of saving them…
=You’re right. How do they know if they’ll make it to the 5th ga! There’s a chance their saved cards could go to waste!
As the comntators said, saving cards for later gas instead of using them in earlier gas was an inefficient choice.
If they saved them for no reason and lost the first 3 gas, the cards would go to waste without being used.
And,
[3 players from ‘World Tree Elves – 71’s top 10 are banned.]
[1st, 3rd and 5th ranked players are banned. They cannot participate in the 1st ga.]
=Oh, 1st, 3rd and 5th ranked players! The ban card picked out well!
=A good start!
[The map for the 1st ga has been decided.]
[The 1st ga will take place on ‘Southgate’.]
Due to the opponent not using cards, humanity welcod the best case scenario.
The bans precisely took out the opponent’s top ranked players.
And the ga map was Southgate, the most familiar map from the tutorials.
=Oh! It’s Southgate!
=A familiar map appeared. If the opponents used a select card, there would have been a 70% chance one of the chosen maps between both sides appeared…
=This is the best outco for humanity! Please win the first ga!
On the Southgate map requiring 100 players.
Following the predetermined lineup for when this map appeared among the 2,000 players.
Players were called up.
“I’ll be back, brother-in-law.”
Sword King, 1st ranked Warrior Class, was the first to stand up.
“I’m also participating since it’s Southgate. Too bad Seong Jihan isn’t here….”
Top Korean player and 1st ranked Archer Class, Ha Yeonjoo also made the 100 players participating in the 1st ga.
“I’ll be in your care as well.”
“Yes, I’ll definitely bring back a win!”
And so, among the 100 players, 2 Koreans were included as the lineup for the 1st ga was finalized.
“It would’ve been nice if Seong Jihan was here too…”
“Too bad he isn’t Diamond.”
“Then why is he even on the list of 2,000?”
“Right? He can’t play anyway unless he’s Diamond so there was no need to include him in the list.”
Those not participating in ga 1 chatted amongst themselves, glancing at Seong Jihan.
While his skills were recognized by all, They didn’t understand why a Platinum unable to play matches was on the lineup.
“He probably just wanted to be included in humanity’s first ever lineup, right?”
“Does a top player like Seong Jihan care about things like that?”
“If he cared then he should’ve ranked up to Diamond faster….”
Various negative chatter surrounded Seong Jihan but
=Ga, begin!
As the 1st ga of the opening match kicked off, all eyes focused there.
Humanity vs Elves.
Nothing was a greater spectacle than this first confrontation.
And,
=Ah~ Sword King! He’s devastating the enemy camp! The Elven warriors are trying to stop him but can’t respond at all!
=World Tree Elves, if you would fall so easily then why didn’t you use ban cards? This makes no sense!
The Elven base, located at the fortress.
They took out bows, summoned spirits and prepared defenses, but
With Sword King taking the lead, brandishing his sword,
And the other human players supporting from behind, it instantaneously collapsed.
Especially,
=Uh, these elves… don’t they seem different from the elf Seong Jihan fought? They don’t demonstrate that absurd regeneration!
=This much should be good enough!
=Among the many races seen in the Chaos Battlefield, it seems elves are the weakest!
Unlike the absurd regeneration shown on Seong Jihan’s channel,
The elves here didn’t exhibit physical abilities much different from humans.
-What the? They’re nothing special!!!
-Why is this so easy?
-Watching Sword King feels so comfy. Did Koreans enjoy this themselves?
-Non-Koreans haven’t felt that joy yet. Seong Jihan isn’t joining.
-We haven’t experienced that yet either;
-Would’ve known if Sword King and Seong Jihan ca out together.
Foreign viewers continuously praised the Sword King dominating ga 1.
Especially after always facing him as enemies, now that he was their ally, they enthusiastically enjoyed his performance.
They felt at ease thinking if Seong Jihan also joined these two warriors pulling humanity forward, there would be no worries even at the Space League.
And so,
[1st Ga Ends]
[Humanity Wins]
[Sword King, Yoon Sejin has been selected as the MVP for 1st Ga.]
In the opening match’s 1st ga, humanity easily achieved victory.
The MVP award went to Sword King for devastating the enemy base.
Having perfectly won the first ga, The comntators spoke in more relaxed tones compared to the start.
=Humanity has secured the first win of the opening match!
=In these gas, the first set is critical! World Tree Elves passed their cards. I wonder how they’ll co out in the next ga?
=Shouldn’t they draw cards next? If we win the 2nd and 3rd ga as well, they’ll have wasted saving cards…
However, contrary to the comntators’ predictions.
“We will not use cards.”
With the sa faint smile as before ga 1, the Elven Coach declared they would not use cards.
‘Despite losing the first ga so terribly, they still act carefree. Pretty suspicious…’
While Humanity’s Coach Davis stared at the Elven Coach awkwardly,
‘But we still have to use cards.’
He chose the sa as last ga.
Randomly banning 3 of opponent’s top 10, and selecting Southgate map.
Then.
[3 players from ‘World Tree Elves – 71’s top 10 are banned.]
[1st, 4th and 8th ranked players are banned. They cannot participate in the 2nd ga.]
[You have duplicated use of a specific ban card option. You cannot use this option starting the next ga.]
=Oh, 1st, 4th and 8th ranked players! Better bans than before!
=Coach Davis, today’s your day!
=It says this option cannot be used in the next ga onwards but… we can still ban with different options right?
=Yes. There’s also an option to ban 5 players from the top 20. If we’re lucky today, banning 5 people might be more beneficial!
[The map for the 2nd ga has been decided.]
[The 2nd ga will take place on ‘Southgate’.]
=Whoa, Southgate again…!
=70% chance triggered twice!
Humanity began the 2nd ga under even better conditions than before.
The ga result was also one-sided.
[2nd Ga Ends]
[Humanity Wins]
[Barren has been selected as the MVP for the 2nd Ga.]
Since offense and defense switched with humanity as defenders in the 2nd ga.
Arican First’s guild master and world #1 ranked Mage, Barren took the MVP spot.
=Barren! As expected of world #1!
=Just how many spells can he cast at once?!
=Truly Arica’s pride!
The Arican comntator heaped praises on hogrown superstar Barren, foaming at the mouth.
Seeing the elves pathetically crumbling, he wondered if the match would end 3:0.
=At this rate, it might end 3:0!
=Then I wonder who today’s MVP will be!
=Since Sword King and Barren each got the MVP, it cos down to who plays better in ga 3 right?
While discussing so with other comntators, Christopher rembered Seong Jihan claiming he would take MVP.
‘This looks like it’ll clearly end 3:0 though?’
He was so confident saying that so
‘I bet 10,000 dollars on a whim but… looks like I lost it all huh’
What did he know to make that claim?
Just a guy brimming with confidence it seems.
‘Well, I’ll be getting the Akashic Page anyway.’
10,000 dollars was nothing compared to an Akashic Page.
Christopher decided to just brush it off as a happening.
Until ga 3 began,
The general mood looked headed towards a 3:0 finish.
However,
“We will not use cards.”
The cardless Elven Coach this ti.
[5 players from ‘World Tree Elves – 71’s top 20 are banned.]
[11th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 19th ranked players are banned. They cannot participate in the 3rd ga.]
After humanity’s bans ended, she broke into laughter.
“I wasn’t banned this ti?”
“…..What do you an?”
“The #1 survived.”
Pointing at herself, the Coach grinned.
Hearing that, Coach Davis realized who the previously banned #1 was.
“The Elven Coach is their…. #1 player?”
“Hehe…. It’s the Train map. See you inga.”
Flash!
As the Coach disappeared into the light,
Coach Davis’s face hardened.
‘I have a bad feeling about this…’
Despite consecutive losses, the still cardless elves.
And their peculiar #1 player acting as Coach…
Coach Davis looked at the Elven Coach with unknown anxiety,
“No….!”
Soon unable to hide his shock.
* * *
The Train Map.
Along with Southgate, it was the ga map humanity played most in representative matches.
Expecting elves to excel at long range, Southgate was primarily picked until now but,
After gas 1 and 2, confident humanity would dominate at range too, the Train map was chosen…
“The Train map is so easy.”
First revealing herself inga.
Top ranked Elven Coach giggled, reaching to the air.
“Spiritualize.”
Shuu—!
Then the bodies of nearby elves turned transparent.
Green energy gathered above the Elf’s hand.
That made so 30 elves disappear.
“There, done!”
Atop her hand, the green energy already took shape into one form.
=Is that… a train?
=Yes, the looks are very similar to the two trains currently running parallel…!
What she held was a train, identical to those on the Train map.
Tiny light blobs moved about atop the train.
The shape closely resembled humanity’s train seen from afar.
“Look forward to a more exciting map next.”
As she flipped the train after speaking,
Rumble…!
From far away, humanity’s train
Instantly flipped over.
“What the, what’s this…!”
“Why did the train suddenly…!”
At the overturned train,
Swarms of zombies rushed over.
Thud, Thud…!
The Elven train left those humans behind as if mocking them, moving forward.
So far that humanity players couldn’t even think to catch up.
=This is… overturning trains…?
=So this is the Elven #1’s level…?
=The ga will end soon at this rate…!
The surviving players from the overturned train tried desperately resisting the zombies sohow, but
After losing the train on the Train map, that was rely a aningless struggle.
[3rd Ga Ends]
[World Tree Elves – 71 Wins]
[Elven Coach has been selected as the MVP for the 3rd Ga.]
Leisurely taking the MVP after effortlessly flipping the train.
The Elven Coach returned to the coaching table, faintly smiling once more.
“We will not use cards.”
Already the 4th ti repeating the sa words.
But the pressure Coach Davis felt now was on a different level than before.
‘We have to win the 4th ga no matter what. If they use their saved cards in ga 5… I don’t know what’ll happen.’
Coach Davis watched the Elven Coach.
When she didn’t get banned as #1, that girl ca out and blew up the ga.
In that case.
“…Changing ban card.”
The captain decided to pick another ban card option.
[World Tree Elves – 71’s #1 player is banned. Cannot participate in the 4th ga.]
Rather than random, aid to cut out the Elven Coach showing powerful strength.
-5 bans down to 1, a bit disappointing…
-Nah good choice, look what happened in the 3rd ga.
-For real, that Coach is mad strong. Flipping a Train in the train map? Crazy
-Getting her out should make it easier like gas 1 and 2.
However,
“Hehe….”
Seeing Davis’s decision, the Elven Coach let out a mocking laugh.
“I’m not #1 though.”
“….What?”
“You’re so naive. How could you believe what the enemy says?”
“Then why didn’t you participate in the 1st and 2nd gas…?!”
I thought she couldn’t co out because she was banned in the 1st and 2nd gas.
But what she’s saying now is completely different.
“Well, yes. We have to go through five gas, after all.”
