I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 66

066.

Iron Fist tournament sponsored by Banco Spirits and SI Entertainment (EVO organizers) and hosted by Twerk.

Twitch Rivals: Iron Fist Invitational.

This event involved streamers from three countries: Korea, China, and Japan. Since it was an event-type event, the qualifications for participation were quite wide, so a considerable number of streamers participated.

That’s why there were preliminary rounds for each country.

[‘Lee Do-hyeok’s broadcast has started.]

Lee Do-hyuk’s broadcast turned on only after all the preliminary rounds were over.

-The door is open.

-I’m here

-Doha

-Hyeok-ha

-Have you seen the preliminaries?

“Hello, everyone. Oh, I didn’t watch the preliminaries. But I saw that someone posted a summary on Twitch. I heard that Black Girl won?”

-yep

-I was hitting him a bit.

-It looks like you practiced hard lol

-Geumhee Lee had a brief moment in the previous season where he was a god of destruction. This was because Dohyuk Lee was an ‘invitee’ who was exempted from the preliminaries.

An invitation qualification that allows one person to be selected from each of the network branches in Korea, China, and Japan.

It was there that Twork Korea selected Lee Do-hyuk.

‘Thanks to Anatol, I was able to avoid the preliminaries.’

Of course, there was the active recommendation of Anatol, who had a great influence on the Korean gaming industry and internet broadcasting since the Ultimate Fighter era.

It wasn’t just for that reason.

#1774

[72 wins 0 losses]

The record recorded by Lee Do-hyeok’s Iron Fist account.

It’s a surprising win rate for anyone to see.

A 100% win rate without losing a single game.

Even the rank is the highest rank, the God of Destruction, just below the God of Heaven!

Even when compared to the entire Asian server, this rank would place you within the top 200.

In fact, it is safe to say that 99 out of 100 of the rankers above are professional players.

And Twitch Rivals: Iron Fist Invitational is a streamer competition after all.

Due to a trick by Banko Spirits, the makers of Iron Fist, it was possible for pro gamers with “less than 1 year of pro experience” and “more than 1 year of streamer experience” to participate, but there weren’t many pro gamers in Korea who met those qualifications.

If you look for it, there are one or two people…

[-You, you’ll just end up embarrassing yourself if you go out there?]

[-Are you crazy? I heard that guy Lee Do-hyeok is going to be there. Do you think you can win?]

One of the pro players who met the requirements said that he would try out for Rivals, and then heard about it from other players around him.

In fact, it’s already been a few days since Lee Do-hyuk started Iron Fist.

Among domestic professional gamers, rumors about Lee Do-hyeok had already spread for a long time.

Right now, Anatole was so ripped off that I couldn’t tell if he was teaching or being taught on an educational broadcast a few days ago.

[-Wow.. shit, you’re so damn good?]

[-It wasn’t for nothing that my brothers got in trouble···]

[-Coach, please help me analyze this replay.]

This was because many of them had already been scammed at least once by Lee Do-hyeok’s [Heumgeujeongdunga] account over the past few days.

They too have had to experience what many former pros have experienced in the past few days.

So, for a while, a ‘solo rank warning’ was issued within several Iron Fist clubs in Korea.

If you accidentally choose the wrong opponent, you’ll end up getting ripped off and the mechanics will become strangely tangled.

anyway-

Lee Do-hyeok became the highest ranked Korean gamer participating in this tournament.

With Anatol’s recommendation, and the fact that even within Twork Korea, there was quite a bit of attention being paid to this new streamer named Lee Do-hyeok, it was only natural that he would be eligible to participate.

“Okay, then shall we take a look at the draw for the main draw together?”

-dgggg

-Shinjiro is the Japanese guest, so I wish I could have met him right away lol

-No, honestly, it would be fun to meet them in the finals

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It seems like the Japanese still don’t know Dohyuk sensei very well

– I actually watched your community and I thought you already won. Lee Do-hyuk said this while turning on the official Twerk Rivals broadcast.

Now that the preliminary rounds are over and all the finalists have been decided, the draw for the bracket will take place.

When I turn on the broadcast, all I see is the Korean broadcast crew turning on the Japanese broadcast.

Although three countries participated, it seems that the draw was held on a Japanese broadcast as both the sponsor and the organizer of the event were from Twerk Japan.

-What is that lol

-What is this 20th century?

-Ugh hahahahahahaha

“..wow.”

As expected from Japan, which loves analog, it seems like they are trying to do the lottery drawing directly in the studio rather than using CG.

There were panels full of traces of handwork, such as folding, pasting, and adding paper.

[Now, before we finally get to the draw for the bracket you’ve all been waiting for!]

At that time.

“···uh?”

A familiar face appeared in the official broadcast.

[Let’s invite today’s special guest!]

A single person appears with the words that they will be inviting a special guest.

“Is that the same person from back then?”

-Ugh lol

-Open, Hisashiburi-

-Disciple number 4, come quickly

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋI’m just happy to see youㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-No. 4 is here lol

Viewers also reacted happily, calling him Disciple No. 4.

This #4 meme came from an Ultimate Fighter video that’s been uploaded to his iTube recently.

Disciple #1 is the Black Girl, Disciple #2 is Anatole, Disciple #3 is ‘The Beyond’, Disciple #4 is…

[The Emperor of the Japanese Fighting Game World?!!! The protagonist of the myth of reaching the last World Championship semifinals?!]

“The person who used to use Wolfgang. Oh, what was his name? I definitely recognized him. Oh… Chaki?”

-f*ckㅋㅋㅋchaki okay lol

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋRemember this

-That’s so crazy lol

It was Tsuki.

[Now, let’s invite player Tsuki!]

“Oh, that’s right. You were a Tsukishi. Someone who was talented with dual weapons.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋTsuki will probably remember Dohyuk sensei

-I only remember the person who got hit, but I don’t really remember the person who hit me.

-How do you know that?

-oh..

**

“Okay, let’s invite player Tsuki!”

The commentator called out to Tsuki loudly.

The emperor of the Japanese fighting game world, Dai Hwang Tsuki, who recently won the Japanese tournament with overwhelming skill!

Of course, on the peninsula across the sea, Tsuki was just ‘Disciple No. 4’… but as a commentator, it’s something I still don’t know.

“Yes, hello, everyone. This is Tsuki. I’m here to meet you today not as a player but as a commentator. Nice to meet you.”

“Haha. We ask for your help as well, Tsuki-chan. Oh! From what I heard, you originally declined the offer to be a commentator, but later changed your mind. Is there a special reason why you changed your mind?”

“······”

Tsuki paused for a moment after hearing the question.

Tsuki was originally busy practicing for EVO, but changed his mind and accepted the offer to be a commentator.

‘Why did I do that?’

You can’t say that you did it because you wanted to see right next to you the stupid black magicians who brought down the Demon King with their own hands despairing at the coming of the Demon King.

Revealing one’s true feelings was one of the taboos for Japanese people.

“Ahem. It’s nothing else, but among the streamers participating in this competition, there is someone I’m keeping an eye on, so I agreed to do the commentary in order to analyze their abilities in advance.”

That’s why Tsuki gave this answer.

In fact, there was some truth to that statement.

“Aha, I think I know who that person is. Could it be Shinjiro?”

-wwwww

-Anyone can see the Shinjiro EVO sending contest www

-Who is better at Iron Fist, Shinjiro or Tsuki? (laughs) Of course, the casters and viewers naturally interpreted Tsuki’s words as him talking about Shinjiro.

“Well, maybe, maybe not. I would like to tell you, but I’m afraid that if I mention it, it might be a burden to him in the upcoming competition, so I’ll hold back.”

Tsuki also didn’t deny it.

But that doesn’t mean I was positive about it.

That would be the case, because if we talk about Lee Do-hyeok instead of Shinjiro here, Tsuki might become a traitor who cheers for Koreans even before the start of the main tournament.

On the other hand, if you talk about Shinjiro, you might hear people say that he doesn’t know anything about Iron Fist after the tournament.

So I gave an answer that seemed like it could be an escape at any time, neither here nor there.

This is exactly the attitude a skilled Japanese person should have.

– I wonder what Tsuki, the streamer with the highest win rate in Korea, thinks. At that time, a mention of Lee Do-hyeok came out in the chat window of the official broadcast.

The caster who saw that asked Tsuki.

“Oh, that’s right. There’s a Korean streamer who’s been a hot topic recently, right? Idohyukku-san. Have you met that streamer, Tsuki?”

Japan uses the same Asian server as Korea.

Naturally, other Japanese people also couldn’t help but be interested in the account of Lee Do-hyeok, who suddenly appeared and was destroying the celestial gamers with a 100% win rate.

However, there were only rumors, and detailed information about Lee Do-hyeok was not known in Japan.

There were several reasons for this.

“Not in Iron Fist. I’ve fought him a few times in Ultimate Fighter.”

“Hmm, I see. Of course, Tsuki-san won, right?”

“···I lost.”

“Huh? Are you okay?”

First of all, the first thing is that it is not widely known that Tsuki lost to Idohyuk in Ulpa.

[Cough-!]

[Hmm.. there’s a gap here. Oh, there’s one here too.]

[Bam! Bam! Bam!]

Tsuki wasn’t just defeated, he was, to put it bluntly, beaten.

-www Is this dotkiriji?

-Hey, Tsuki- Stop acting like Sokomadeda!

-Oh, oh, at this point it’s not even fun.

Tsuki’s viewers who were watching it.

So, from the perspective of those who have been long-time fans of Tsuki since the days of Ulpa to the present day Iron Fist, it was neither understandable nor acceptable that Tsuki was so obsessed with a Korean, let alone Anatole.

At first, I thought it was a hidden camera.

But that defeat doesn’t end with just one defeat.

[Oh, oh my!]

[Hmm… That was good just now.]

Twice, three times···

[Sigh!]

[Hmm, it’s grown quite a bit?]

[Bang! Tukang-! Bang!]

When it eventually went on to a 5-game series.

And when Tsuki was kicked in all 5 games.

-Kkiyaaaaak!

-Uso!

-This is ridiculous!

Faced with an unbearable fear, they were on the verge of losing their minds.

The strongest Japanese ulzzang, the current strongest Iron Fist, in other words… the emperor of the Japanese fighting game world, Tsuki, was defeated by a streamer who suddenly showed up, not Anatole or Beyond?

Anatole, who faced a similar situation, was different from the fans of Beyond.

It had to be that way.

From their perspective, Lee Do-hyuk, who defeated their idol, was a fellow Korean.

But to Tsuki’s fans, Lee Do-hyuk was a foreigner.

And not just any foreigner, but Korean··· Kangkokujin!

No… Chosun-zing!

So, in order to avoid going crazy, Tsuki’s fans took one approach.

This is the type that erases brain records.

-Eh? Dohyoku? Was there such a person?

-I don’t know?

-Tsuki did an icebreaker yesterday? She’s never done that before.

In the end, after that day’s match, there were no more Tsuki fans who mentioned the five-match series between Lee Do-hyeok and Tsuki.

Mentioning it would be a disgrace to Tsuki, and to themselves.

During his time as the Ultimate Fighter, Tsukida was beaten up by Japanese people like Anatole on a fake day.

As Tsuki’s fandom stuck together and endured those difficult times, their solidarity is the strongest not only in the prefecture but also in Japan!

It was because of them that they were able to endure without spreading the rumor about the genius named Lee Do-hyeok.

Even Tsuki’s fandom didn’t stop there.

[This Korean account. Who is the owner?]

Hmm, is it true/KR

#1774

The odds are abnormal?

A few days ago, a post appeared on the Iron Fist community in Japan.

– Really? Isn’t it Anatole?

-I looked it up and it says he’s a Korean streamer?

By the time there were a comment or two there.

-That’s an abusing accountwwwww

-ww I paid for it

Similar comments like this started appearing in numbers that were twice as many.

This is just a comment from Tsuki’s fandom.

In a corner of their hearts, there was this thought.

‘···You guys should experience it too.’

If Tsuki’s five consecutive losses become known, it will be Tsuki’s fault.

Because the guy who is called the emperor of the Japanese fighting game world dared to lose to an outsider.

But what if Tsuki isn’t the only one who’s been affected?

What if all the other Japanese gamers get hit too?

At that point, it will no longer be Tsuki’s personal fault, but a hardship that the Japanese fighting game industry will have to endure together.

So, let’s hold on until then!

While hiding Tsuki’s defeat as much as possible!

“Wow, you’re a pretty skilled gamer. But Ultimate Fighter is a game from the past. I wonder how you’d be doing in Iron Fist. Of course, you wouldn’t be as good as Shinjiro, right?”

“Haha.. Really?”

And on the other hand, Tsuki’s fandom also had that kind of wish.

‘Please, Ido Hyogo vs Shinjiro in the round of 16!’

‘If that doesn’t work, then at least in the quarterfinals…!’

I hope Lee Do-hyeok can meet Shinjiro as soon as possible during this tournament.

Tsuki, the current emperor of the Japanese fighting game world.

And the current crown prince of the Japanese fighting game world, Shinjiro.

It’s nice to say that he’s the emperor and crown prince, but if we put it another way, doesn’t that mean that Shinjiro will one day inherit Tsuki’s throne?

In fact, Shinjiro’s fandom often talks about such things.

Shinjiro, who has not even been playing Iron Fist for a year, is already like this, so if he is given more time, he will soon beat Tsuki, and that is when the Japanese fighting game industry will truly stand tall at the top of the world.

Regardless of the close relationship between the players, it was a really harsh remark from the fandom’s perspective.

“Okay, then let’s start the raffle!”

Knock knock knock-

And here are the lottery results.

Round of 16, match 1.

[Shinjiro] VS [Black Girl]

Tsuki fans’ wish was not fulfilled.

Round of 16, match 7.

[Lee Do-hyeok] VS [Zhao Rong]

Even Shinjiro, who is far away from Lee Dohyuk.

If things continued like this, we would have to face each other in the finals.

.

.

And when game 1 was over.

“Ah-again···”

Even the commentator, who is quite seasoned, was left speechless.

[Shinjiro]

[Black Girl]

The crown prince of the Japanese fighting game world has been replaced by Joseon’s best swordsman (female)!
