Episode 84 [Iron Fist] – EVO Held (3)

[FIGHT!!!]

“The game begins!”

fault-

Gatak dashed towards Lee Do-hyeok.

A charge that seemed to have been waiting only for the signal to start battle.

“Huh? Contrary to expectations, Player Gatak is running first!”

“Is this a display of confidence?”

The Tetsujin your opponent plays is a tricky character whose style changes with each game.

That was the answer that Gatak had for him.

‘Right from the start.’

Trying to make the flow your own.

‘I said you’re not someone to be ignored.’

It wasn’t that I was underestimating my opponents because of the facade of being ranked number 1 on the Asian server.

Before the match, Gatak heard brief information about his opponent.

Although India is geographically part of South Asia, due to various reasons such as communication speed, Indian Iron Fist players used the Middle Eastern server rather than the Asian server.

But even so, there were still a few people who played on Asian servers.

Since each server has slightly different popular styles and characters, the goal was to absorb those.

And the coach said that this is what some Celestial gamers who went on a tour of the Asian servers said.

‘There’s a monster living on the Asian server?’

It was time to check those words.

Gatak took a big step forward.

Swish!

At the same time, the first attack of the whip was extended like a whip.

It wasn’t meant figuratively.

Danil is a character who handles a sword.

A flexible, long sword with a sharp edge, similar to a whip.

It was a weapon called urmi in the Indian language.

The blade extending from his hand twisted and turned in a dizzying manner.

fault!

Lee Do-hyuk was the first to step back and step back.

Then, Gatak immediately chases after it.

He quickly advanced and swung his sword once more.

Taat!

This time, Lee Do-hyeok uses back dash to create distance.

‘good.’

Gatak’s eyes lit up when he saw that.

First, evasion and then exploration, a seemingly standard choice.

But that was an option that anyone who had dealt with Danila a lot would not have chosen.

“Ah! This should have been fought against!”

“Now was the chance.”

“It may be that I lack understanding of the character. According to the data, Lee Do-hyeok has never participated in a competition before.”

The commentators also thought the same thing.

It’s all because of the characteristics that Danila possesses.

Danila’s sword, as a soft sword, has relatively weak attack power compared to other characters.

Because it requires a lot of skill to handle properly, the pick rate is also not very good.

Because of that, Danilo is one of the unpopular characters who is ranked at the bottom of the pick rate no matter which server he goes to.

But even so, there must have been a reason why Ghatak chose Danila as his main character and was considered the best player in India with that character.

Shhh-!

The sword is swung again.

Oh my!

This time, Lee Do-hyeok swung his fist and knocked it away.

“…hmm?”

But the feeling of discomfort lingers at the tip of my fingers.

Lee Do-hyeok’s eyes sank slightly.

‘It seems to have gotten faster.’

If I hadn’t corrected my course midway, I wouldn’t have been able to hit it as perfectly as I just did.

At first, I wonder if he just swung it around a bit.

Shhh-! Blame!

When another sword strike was swung.

Lee Do-hyeok, who avoided it by creating distance, was able to find the answer.

The attack just now.

It’s clear that the swing speed has gotten slightly faster than before.

It was a very small change, but Lee Do-hyuk wasn’t the one who couldn’t notice it.

‘It’s a system where the more you swing it, the faster your attacks become.’

His thinking was correct.

Danil is a character whose attack speed increases slightly as he stacks up consecutive hits against his opponent.

Thanks to this, Danila was able to attack his opponents at a faster rate than any other technique in Iron Fist.

It is limited to the sword, but it is said that Danil, who has reached the highest attack speed, can catch a god-level gamer even if caught by the Blue Group.

‘I was wondering why there are such shitty characters.’

Danila’s story mode was very short, perhaps because she was an unpopular character.

Lee Do-hyuk also proceeded with it without much interest.

At first, I was briefly interested in the weapon called the Yeongeom, but that quickly faded away.

A weapon perfect for play, but in actual combat it wouldn’t leave a scratch on alien skin.

This was Lee Do-hyeok’s assessment of Yeongeom after swinging the sword a few times.

Danila’s traits don’t manifest just by swinging it in the air.

If that was the case, it would have been natural for everyone to fall back and swing their swords as soon as the game started.

Anyway, that’s why I just put the sword away and played the story mode using only my hands and feet.

‘It’s somewhat threatening.’

It feels a little different when you meet the opponent.

Even though it may not be very good in terms of attack power or hand feel, if it has those characteristics, it is still not a character that can’t be used.

The most important thing to do against Danila is to not allow consecutive attacks.

If it had already been allowed, it could be seen as a relative law to cut it off even if it meant suffering damage to HP.

But the current Lee Do-hyeok has allowed the previous four attacks to continue.

In fact, it was as good as starting with a penalty already served.

“There’s nothing to see. Game 1 is a win for Gatak.”

“Haha. Isn’t that a bit too hasty, Asus?”

Moreover, Lee Do-hyeok showed a play that was obviously rookie, not even trying to block Danila’s consecutive attacks.

It was not strange for commentators watching the game to say things like this.

WHEEK!

fault!

At that moment, Lee Do-hyuk twisted his body.

This time, instead of stepping back, Lee Do-hyeok dodged the sword by staying in place.

Then, he swung his foot and aimed for Gatak’s side.

Bam-!

But it got blocked.

Gatak easily blocked Lee Do-hyeok’s attack by lifting his leg.

He didn’t get the 1st seed for nothing.

Ghatak is a top-class player who would have been a contender to win every tournament if not for the appearance of Kwabna.

He possessed skills that overwhelmed most players in close combat.

In addition, because of the sword being swung, the paths through which Lee Do-hyeok could avoid it were limited.

“It’s a weak attack. If it was going to be like this, you should have rushed in earlier.”

“Or maybe we should attack a little more boldly!”

-Isn’t it too one-sided?

-It wasn’t for nothing that the prediction results were like that!

-Hehehe, there aren’t any fools who bet on reverse gear, right?

-It’s a shame the dividend is so low!

A match prediction where fans predict the winning team before the match.

It’s not an event where you bet real money, but rather a prediction where you bet on points earned by watching the broadcast for a certain amount of time. However, since you can use those points to enter a prize draw, it’s an event that EVO fans can’t miss.

The current match had a result of 93% VS 7%.

Of course, the one who recorded 93% was the one on the side of the trust.

-Hmm… Is that it…?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋWhat are the Yankees saying?

-There are victims who are being fooled by Dohyuk Senpai again… (laughs)

Of course, excluding a few reverse harems, the Korean and Japanese viewers, who account for the majority of the 7%, were laughing at the ignorant foreign viewers during the official broadcast.

Just then.

widely-

“Ah, so this is what happened. Lee Do-hyeok is in a dead end situation!”

“There’s nowhere to run now, right?”

Lee Do-hyuk had already reached the wall.

‘This is an opportunity!’

A situation where several consecutive attacks have already piled up.

With just a few more swings, he would reach maximum speed.

There’s no way anyone could avoid that situation when they’re backed up against a wall!

Gatak smiled, thinking he had seized the opportunity.

Wheeze-

In that way, Gatak’s sword moved in a rotating motion and continued to aim at Lee Do-hyeok.

Sword strikes pouring down without regard to up, down, left, or right.

Moreover, when it comes to this, the movement of the sword changes so drastically that even the player swinging it has difficulty predicting its movements.

But is it called Gatak for nothing?

Whoosh-!

He is a skilled swordsman who can continuously change the movement of his wrist to adjust the movement of the compensated sword as he wishes!

Gatak’s splendid combo rushed towards Lee Do-hyeok.

‘They said it was a monster, but what is this…’

Isn’t it just a bubble?

It was a thought that made me think like that.

‘After all, an amateur is an amateur.’

Of course, his physical abilities were worthy of recognition.

Even though he had swung his sword more than a dozen times, Lee Do-hyeok had not been hit even once.

But that’s it.

Looking at the way he dealt with it, it’s clear that he didn’t even prepare properly for his main character, Danila.

There doesn’t seem to be any particular strategy for leading the game.

Ultimately, this is the limitation of amateurs, not professionals.

WHISTLE-! WHISTLE-!

A sword attack that maintains a medium to long range, which is Danila’s strength.

As the attacks continued to pile up, the attack speed increased.

Now that we’ve come this far, the outcome of the game is pretty much decided.

Should I just dodge like this and eventually fail to dodge and lose all of my HP? Or should I try to resist now and lose all of my HP?

In the end, it all ended in defeat.

Ppaang-!!

And at that moment, a sonic boom was heard!

It was a sign that Danila’s attack speed was at its peak.

Of course, it didn’t actually reach the speed of sound.

But even at this level, it is almost impossible to avoid with human cognitive ability.

Shh.

Gatak’s smile grew brighter as he became confident of victory.

[Lee Do-hyeok]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Lee Do-hyeok’s HP is still full, but he can’t just keep dodging!

‘Let’s see how long you can avoid it!’

Gatak swung his arms with that thought in mind.

“This is your chance! Player Gatak!”

“Lee Do-hyeok’s evasion skills are amazing, but he can’t do that forever. Choosing to evade against Danila means giving up half of your chance of victory.”

Bang-!! Bang-!

The sonic boom continues!

“I never thought I’d see such a rudimentary performance at a competition like EVO… Hmm…?”

‘How long can you avoid it… How long… .’

-?

-??

-uh…?

Ppaang-!

How many more bursts of air could there have been?

Not only the players who were attacking, but also the commentators and viewers who were watching the game.

It didn’t take long for them to sense something was strange.

Bang-! Bang-!!

why…

All I can hear is a sonic boom…

Can’t you hear the sound that fits it?

“hmm….”

At that moment, a sound close to a sigh burst out.

Then another word was added.

“… Is this it?”

-Ugh hahahahahaha

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow this is it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I kept holding my pee to see this -‘That comment’ ON

“…?”

The meaning conveyed through automatic interpretation.

Is this it? What is this it?

Your level? Or… Danila’s maximum attack speed?

That was the moment.

Baaaak!

The sound of impact was finally heard.

But it was a little different from what most viewers expected.

“Ugh!”

The elasticity came from Ga-tak, not Lee Do-hyeok.

“Lee Do-hyeok’s counterattack! How on earth did he do it?”

One of the commentators shouted in surprise.

This was because Lee Do-hyuk was able to dodge all of Gatak’s sword strikes, which seemed to be not just one but dozens of swords, and he managed to squeeze through them all and land a precise attack on Gatak’s chin.

Of course, Lee Do-hyeok’s offensive did not end there.

Bang! Bang!

Gatak’s face became distorted and then recovered.

Rather than seizing the opportunity at its best, he allowed the attack to happen instead, but he should not have regrets about what has already passed.

The HP lost is now at most one bar.

‘The match was just slightly tilted from the starting point!’

I had to think like that and come to my senses.

of course……

Bam! Bam!

“Ugh!”

If the situation had changed when he came to his senses with those thoughts, Anatol, Beyond, the Black Girl, Tsuki, and the others wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.

“Ah, what is this! It’s floating in the air! Player Gatak! A series of attacks, a series of attacks! Player Gatak’s stamina is rapidly decreasing!”

Eventually, Gatak was defeated after being repeatedly beaten in the air.

Oh my!

His avatar was slammed to the ground in a defeated pose.

-WTF?

-Who is that Korean person?

-Did Gatak let his guard down?

-Don’t let your guard down lol

-Hmm, is that right? Hmm, is that right? wwwwww

-F*ckㅋㅋㅋIt was exported to Japan in the meantimeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

* * *

“Yay! Perfect victory in set 1!”

Gian, who was watching the game, took a victory pose.

Tiring-

[Mission Success!]

-The bear has the talent, but the money is…

-Sensei Dohyuk won, but why are you eating the mission?

“Haha. Well, it’s my show after all! Ah, if you feel wronged, oppa, you should have eaten the victory mission when you go to that competition.”

-It’s a one-sided deal, but that’s it

-Gianchu… won the competition…?

-It would be fun to gather all the shit hands and have a competition.

-There too, the room leader was overwhelmingly last, and the wrist sword was ㅇㅇ

“This is crazy! Where on earth did these players come from?!”

“Danila with the highest attack speed! And the overwhelming performance shown against Danila of Gatak! Is this possible?”

The commentators are very excited and are giving passionate speeches.

The on-site audience also looked similar.

Whooooaaaaahhh-!!

Dohyuk! Dohyuk! Dohyuk!

Fans who chant Lee Do-hyuk’s name.

Giant killings, where David takes down Goliath, are always met with cheers.

Of course, in this case, it was no different from Goliath catching villager A.

However, for most of the fans on the scene who didn’t know much about Lee Do-hyeok, the first set just now was a huge upset!

“… The opponent is no ordinary guy.”

However, Ga-tak’s thoughts after dealing with Lee Do-hyeok directly were different.

Anomaly? This wasn’t anything like an anomaly.

It’s just a natural result where the stronger one beats the less strong one.

Ugh.

Gatak bit his lip hard.

It was because of the anger rising from deep within my heart.

It wasn’t anger towards Lee Do-hyeok who had defeated him.

Rather, it was anger at himself for letting his guard down despite the warnings he had received about himself and his opponent, and for thinking of himself as a sloppy amateur who only relied on his physical strength and went wild.

‘They said it was a monster…’

There was absolutely nothing wrong with that statement.

In the current Iron Fist, when people say monster, they usually refer to Kwabna.

A monster that made many professional gamers, who were considered top players, despair upon their debut.

That’s why the word ‘monster’, which was commonly used in the past, is not used much in Iron Fist these days.

Because there already exists an entity that overwhelmingly fits that word.

However, the person that Ga-tak met just now, Lee Do-hyeok, is also not lacking in those words at all.

“Phew.”

Gatak let out a long breath and calmed his mind.

He acknowledged his opponent, but that didn’t mean he gave up on the current match.

Rather, I thought quite the opposite.

‘I tried to save it.’

I don’t know when this competition will be, but if I ever face Kwabna, here’s a secret attack I’ve prepared to use against him!

In the second set, Gatak intended to show it all off without holding back!

“Okay, let’s start set 2! This time, both players chose the same character?”

The two are ready to play again.

[Lee Do-hyeok – Tetsujin]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

[Gatag – Danila]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Ugh-

Gatak bit his lip once more, as if to remind himself to come to his senses.

Although it wasn’t the stage he had in mind, how could a fighter hide his skills when he faced someone as strong as me?

“Oops! I forgot to get the 2nd set mission!”

“… If I’m going to receive it, I’d better receive it quickly, right?”

The black girl tells Gian to hurry.

In fact, it seemed to her that it was already too late to accept the mission.

[3…]

[2…]

The countdown for set 2 has begun.

If things continue like this, it looks like the second set will be over before I even get to the end of the mission.

‘That comment from earlier.’

And the look in Lee Do-hyuk’s eyes at that time.

‘that…’

I know the girl in black well because I’ve received it a lot too.

When I attacked Lee Do-hyuk again without any significant development, I often received the same look.

That meant I had already seen everything there was to see and was losing interest.

[READY]

[FIGHT!!!]

“Put the pressure down!”

The second set started like that.

Gatak rushed towards Lee Do-hyeok with a shout.

‘…monster?’

I admit it.

But I too, was once called that!

The strongest man in India with no rivals!

A secret technique that he had been desperately honing since the last World Championships and was finally able to perfect recently!

Tell that to the other person… …

Hook, tat! Pavat!

─Snap!

-?

-??

-Ten lol

-What?

-WTF???????

This time, it was the official broadcast chat room full of hooks regardless of nationality.

[Lee Do-hyeok – Tetsujin]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

[Gatag – Danila]

□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

That’s literally killing in a split second!

The second set ended quickly without any chance to show off the skills I had worked so hard to hone.
