=Ah, what is this…?
=The opposing team is not using ban cards or select cards!
=Is it still possible to y the game like this?
Just as thementators were puzzled by the Elven Coach’s choice.
=Oh…! ording to the analysts, it is possible to y without using the two cards.
=By collecting three ban cards like this, they can definitely use more bans starting from the 4th game!
=if they gather 3 select cards, they can definitively choose maps!
Having obtained information from the Association, thementators were able to exin why the Elven Coach made that decision.
=Additionally, if they make it to the 5th game after collecting 4 cards… there is a special effect allowing them to change the game options as well!
=Changing options? What does that mean?
=No detailed exnation was given. But since they’re giving up bans and selects for 4 games, there probably aren’t many options they can change.
=But generally, isn’t it best to finish before the 5th game? Seems using ban and select cards every game 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 game! There’s a chance their saved cards could go to waste!
As thementators said, saving cards forter games instead of using them in earlier games was an inefficient choice.
If they saved them for no reason and lost the first 3 games, the cards would go to waste without being used.
And,
[3 yers from ‘World Tree Elves – 71’s top 10 are banned.]
[1st, 3rd and 5th ranked yers are banned. They cannot participate in the 1st game.]
=Oh, 1st, 3rd and 5th ranked yers! The ban card picked out well!
=A good start!
[The map for the 1st game has been decided.]
[The 1st game will take ce on ‘Southgate’.]
Due to the opponent not using cards, humanity weed the best case scenario.
The bans precisely took out the opponent’s top ranked yers.
And the game 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 oue for humanity! Please win the first game!
On the Southgate map requiring 100 yers.
Following the predetermined lineup for when this map appeared among the 2,000 yers.
yers were called up.
“I’ll be back, brother-inw.”
Sword King, 1st ranked Warrior ss, was the first to stand up.
“I’m also participating since it’s Southgate. Too bad Seong Jihan isn’t here….”
Top Korean yer and 1st ranked Archer ss, Ha Yeonjoo also made the 100 yers participating in the 1st game.
“I’ll be in your care as well.”
“Yes, I’ll definitely bring back a win!”
And so, among the 100 yers, 2 Koreans were included as the lineup for the 1st game 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 y anyway unless he’s Diamond so there was no need to include him in the list.”
Those not participating in game 1 chatted amongst themselves, ncing at Seong Jihan.
While his skills were recognized by all, They didn’t understand why a tinum unable to y matches was on the lineup.
“He probably just wanted to be included in humanity’s first ever lineup, right?”
“Does a top yer 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
=Game, begin!
As the 1st game 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 yers supporting from behind, it instantaneously copsed.
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 sofy. 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 came out together.
Foreign viewers continuously praised the Sword King dominating game 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 Game Ends]
[Humanity Wins]
[Sword King, Yoon Sejin has been selected as the MVP for 1st Game.]
In the opening match’s 1st game, humanity easily achieved victory.
The MVP award went to Sword King for devastating the enemy base.
Having perfectly won the first game, Thementators spoke in more rxed tonespared to the start.
=Humanity has secured the first win of the opening match!
=In these games, the first set is critical! World Tree Elves passed their cards. I wonder how they’lle out in the next game?
=Shouldn’t they draw cards next? If we win the 2nd and 3rd game as well, they’ll have wasted saving cards…
However, contrary to thementators’ predictions.
“We will not use cards.”
With the same faint smile as before game 1, the Elven Coach dered they would not use cards.
‘Despite losing the first game 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 same asst game.
Randomly banning 3 of opponent’s top 10, and selecting Southgate map.
Then.
[3 yers from ‘World Tree Elves – 71’s top 10 are banned.]
[1st, 4th and 8th ranked yers are banned. They cannot participate in the 2nd game.]
[You have duplicated use of a specific ban card option. You cannot use this option starting the next game.]
=Oh, 1st, 4th and 8th ranked yers! Better bans than before!
=Coach Davis, today’s your day!
=It says this option cannot be used in the next game onwards but… we can still ban with different options right?
=Yes. There’s also an option to ban 5 yers from the top 20. If we’re lucky today, banning 5 people might be more beneficial!
[The map for the 2nd game has been decided.]
[The 2nd game will take ce on ‘Southgate’.]
=Whoa, Southgate again…!
=70% chance triggered twice!
Humanity began the 2nd game under even better conditions than before.
The game result was also one-sided.
[2nd Game Ends]
[Humanity Wins]
[Barren has been selected as the MVP for the 2nd Game.]
Since offense and defense switched with humanity as defenders in the 2nd game.
American 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 America’s pride!
The Americanmentator heaped praises on homegrown 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, ites down to who ys better in game 3 right?
While discussing so with othermentators, Christopher remembered Seong Jihan iming 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 dors on a whim but… looks like I lost it all huh’
What did he know to make that im?
Just a guy brimming with confidence it seems.
‘Well, I’ll be getting the Akashic Page anyway.’
10,000 dors was nothingpared to an Akashic Page.
Christopher decided to just brush it off as a happening.
Until game 3 began,
The general mood looked headed towards a 3:0 finish.
However,
“We will not use cards.”
The cardless Elven Coach this time.
[5 yers from ‘World Tree Elves – 71’s top 20 are banned.]
[11th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 19th ranked yers are banned. They cannot participate in the 3rd game.]
After humanity’s bans ended, she broke intoughter.
“I wasn’t banned this time?”
“…..What do you mean?”
“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 yer?”
“Hehe…. It’s the Train map. See you ingame.”
sh!
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 yer 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 game map humanity yed most in representative matches.
Expecting elves to excel at long range, Southgate was primarily picked until now but,
After games 1 and 2, confident humanity would dominate at range too, the Train map was chosen…
“The Train map is so easy.”
First revealing herself ingame.
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 some 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 simr 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 yers couldn’t even think to catch up.
=This is… overturning trains…?
=So this is the Elven #1’s level…?
=The game will end soon at this rate…!
The surviving yers from the overturned train tried desperately resisting the zombies somehow, but
After losing the train on the Train map, that was merely a meaningless struggle.
[3rd Game Ends]
[World Tree Elves – 71 Wins]
[Elven Coach has been selected as the MVP for the 3rd Game.]
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 time repeating the same words.
But the pressure Coach Davis felt now was on a different level than before.
‘We have to win the 4th game no matter what. If they use their saved cards in game 5… I don’t know what’ll happen.’
Coach Davis watched the Elven Coach.
When she didn’t get banned as #1, that girl came out and blew up the game.
In that case.
“…Changing ban card.”
The captain decided to pick another ban card option.
[World Tree Elves – 71’s #1 yer is banned. Cannot participate in the 4th game.]
Rather than random, aimed 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 game.
-For real, that Coach is mad strong. Flipping a Train in the train map? Crazy
-Getting her out should make it easier like games 1 and 2.
However,
“Hehe….”
Seeing Davis’s decision, the Elven Coach let out a mockingugh.
“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 games…?!”
I thought she couldn’te out because she was banned in the 1st and 2nd games.
But what she’s saying now ispletely different.
“Well, yes. We have to go through five games, after all.”
