Episode 87 [Iron Fist] – The Real Monster (2)

-Bang!

Gulov ran towards Lee Do-hyeok with his body lowered and tried to grab one of his legs.

He was pinned to the ground in that position.

“Huh!”

Gullov let out a breath of surprise.

It is an unexpected moment, a shock that comes.

Maybe that’s why I feel pain that shouldn’t be there.

But what was occupying Gullov’s thoughts now was not pain.

‘…How on earth?’

Bewilderment and incomprehension.

Could it be that you misjudged the timing of your opponent’s stiffness?

No, that’s not true.

Gullof is not the type to make such a rookie mistake.

So then what the heck?

-Dismissal! The sound of the street

It wasn’t Ivanov who was affected, it was the character of a brain god.

How on earth is this possible?

‘no way…?’

At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

Just a moment ago, Lee Do-hyeok’s appearance, the steps he took, and his movements in close combat were all things that anyone could tell were in Ivanov mode.

Maybe all of those things…

‘…!’

You said that all of this was done directly without any correction?

The shock that followed immediately followed.

Is that possible?

Even though I saw it with my own eyes and it is the only way to explain the current situation, I just can’t believe it.

Gulov was a world-class player.

There was no player who could be said to be above Gulov right now, except for Kwabna.

That’s why, because he was like that, it was even more unbelievable.

Gullof may not be the world’s strongest, but he is definitely close to it.

Even he thinks it makes no sense.

There is a monster in this world that can do that… …

“Cough!”

The thought could not continue any longer.

Lee Do-hyeok’s additional hit to Gullov, who was lying on the ground.

Gullov rose into the air this time.

Pot! Papat!

And then the flawless chain of attacks continued.

Temporal region, side, nasolabial fold, etc.

Lee Do-hyuk’s consecutive strikes poured down on every nook and cranny of his body.

“That’s ridiculous! That’s ridiculous! No, that’s how crazy it is! It wasn’t Ivanov!”

“This is a crisis, Gulov. A moment of carelessness can have fatal consequences!”

“I don’t think I let my guard down. The tackle from earlier, if Lee Do-hyeok’s Tetsujin was in Ivanov mode, it would have worked, right?”

-Wow hahahahahaha

-Gulop is a slut lol

-humiliation

-Tackle but why are you doing it? (I really don’t know)

-I don’t know either lol

-Ah, that’s me, Iba the craftsman…

For the commentators and viewers watching the game, it was chaos itself.

Of course, there were those who figured out the reason for Gulov’s sudden tackle attempt, but they were a minority.

Anyway-

Bam!

Lee Do-hyeok’s roundhouse kick hits Gullov’s chest.

Gullof, in a state of helplessness, flew backwards.

And then the downpour pours down on Gullof.

Boom!

In an instant, a large cloud of dust flew up.

A pile of rocks bouncing up with it.

After continued impact, the ground collapsed and collapsed.

Floor brake.

“Ugh!”

A gull that falls through the collapsed floor and gets stuck.

Still unable to resist, he held his breath, bracing himself for the coming shock.

─Kwaaang!

Set 1 ends.

It was Lee Do-hyuk’s perfect victory.

* * *

“It’s a shocking result! Of course! There must have been quite a few people who predicted that Lee Do-hyeok would win against Gulov.”

“That’s right. The match prediction result was 54% to 46%, with Lee Do-hyeok having a slight advantage. Of course, not all the sets have been completed yet, but I don’t think anyone expected this result!”

“Oppression. Lee Do-hyeok can be seen as oppressing Gulov throughout the first set. What’s particularly surprising is this scene. Didn’t the ASUS commentator say earlier that it wasn’t Gulov’s mistake?”

“Yes, that’s right. This was more of a misjudgment than a mistake. The reason for the loss was that we thought Lee Do-hyeok’s Tetsujin was in Ivanov mode. Not only Gulov, but all of us who were watching the game were fooled, so Gulov may feel wronged, but… … .”

An analysis desk for the previous set that exists between each set.

What caught my attention there was the scene in question.

A sudden tackle attempt by Gullov.

What kind of thinking did that come from, and why is Lee Do-hyeok’s play, which easily destroyed it with a brainwave, so great?

“… So to sum it up, it wasn’t Tetsujin imitating Ivanov, but rather Lee Do-hyeok imitating Ivanov’s fighting style? How on earth is that possible?”

“I don’t know either. Gulov, who got hit by it in the first set, probably doesn’t know either. I want this match to end quickly and I want to ask Lee Do-hyeok! How on earth did he do it?”

Asus’ appearance is like a passionate speech.

And the other commentators also stuck out their tongues after hearing his explanation.

-Ah lol foreign newbies are cute

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThe reaction is so funny

-Yami

-You don’t understand? Yeah, that’s Lee Do-hyukㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Hey, hyung

-Dae Do Hyuk

Korean viewers liked it because it had a familiar taste but never got old.

For Lee Do-hyeok’s viewers, one of the unmissable pleasures is watching something like that.

The fun of watching the series of events that occur as newbies encounter Lee Do-hyeok, first being shocked by him, then not understanding him, and then eventually praising him.

In fact, this is exactly why Lee Do-hyuk’s broadcasting has grown at such a rapid pace.

It doesn’t stop at just watching the influx of newbies, but fans go around to all sorts of places and do sales work, asking, “Would you like to try this?”

In this way, new viewers continued to come in, and these viewers also realized the same fun after only three days of Lee Do-hyuk’s broadcast and did the same thing.

“Oh! As expected from my brother! But then, isn’t that android character a total fraud? Should I practice that when I start playing Apple?”

“…?”

-?

-jrln

-It might be really confusing in another sense.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋI guess there’s no difference in reactions

-Lee Do-hyeok’s opponent: What on earth did you copy? Jian Chu’s opponent: What on earth did you copy?

Tiring-

[‘Heumgeujeongdunga’ donated 1,000 won.]

-It’s not that the character is a fraud, it’s your brother who is a fraud ㅋㅋㅋㅋ-Really ㅋㅋ

-Oh, Rarenick Murgo

-Wow, now it’s a global rare nickname.

-Can’t you have duplicate nicks on Twitter?

-But lol if you do that how are you going to stop Lee Do-hyuk and Tetsujin? (I really don’t know this either)

-What do you know? Lol

At that time.

Viewers flocked to Gianchu’s broadcast.

Another comment that amused them flowed through the broadcast.

“One thing I can say for sure is that Do-hyeok Lee! He’s a player who works incredibly hard! Incredible talent plus incredible effort! I guarantee that Do-hyeok Lee will be the next generation’s top player.”

“Well, you must have needed a ridiculous amount of practice to be able to pretend to be Ivanov like that when you have a different character like Tetsujin?”

“Yes! Didn’t you say that Lee Do-hyeok only started Iron Fist for a short time? And yet he can imitate Ivanov to that extent? I can’t even imagine how much training he must have put into refining himself.”

-Huh? Effort?

-No effort lol

-Training lol

-I don’t know myself, but I do train myself to break other people’s pots? -I’m Lee Do-hyuk, and that’s right… I tried hard in the past… to survive…

-Manager, please give me an aggro ban.

「Perhaps they practiced their main characters in preparation for the numerous top-level pros they will meet at this EVO. Starting with Gullov, Nick Jackson, Jensen, and Tian Long, they might have met players who are not only masters but also have extraordinary skills in handling certain characters. If that’s the case… Wow, this player. I really have to admit it.」

Asus continued speaking with great admiration.

Of course, it was a proper blunder.

– Information) The total time for Lee Do-hyeok’s Iron Fist practice mode is 45 seconds. – Practice? Why do you do it when you can just say ‘Beyond’?

-Ah haha, you just have to clear the story mode

But from Asus’s perspective, it was only natural that they had to think that way.

Without any help from correction, he imitates Ivanov’s movements to the point of fooling Ivanov’s master, Gulov?

Yeah, I was able to understand that somehow.

For top-level pros, it is essential to mix and match correction and non-correction, and among them, Kwabna, who is considered the best, sometimes does all of his movements like that during a set.

One, doesn’t it make sense to just look at it and say, ‘I tried it once and it worked’ without putting in any effort?

Of course, such ridiculous people did exist in real life, but it was a separate matter to think that such a person existed without knowing it.

“… I got beat up.”

And the same was true for Gullof, who was preparing for the second set.

Of course, I realized this after playing one set.

I have no choice but to realize it.

Opponent, Lee Do-hyeok is a monster.

A monster as big as Kwabna… no, maybe even bigger.

But even so, the fact that the Ivanov imitation that Lee Do-hyeok had shown earlier was not the result of arduous training, but rather something that was simply ‘beyond’ was beyond Gulov’s imagination.

“Ivanov doesn’t have much of a play history. Tsk, he must have kept it a secret. Maybe he was expecting to see us.”

“I bet several of the other contenders, including myself, have practiced their main characters. Tsk. It’s just unfortunate that I’m the first victim.”

That’s why Gulov couldn’t be bothered by the loss in the first set.

‘… but it’ll be different in set 2!’

His downfall was that he judged his opponent too hastily.

I never thought that there could be another monster as big as Kwabna in the world.

And it was by relying on such hasty judgment that we took the easy way out.

“Both players chose the same character as in Set 1! But Lee Do-hyeok’s mode will be different, right?”

“Set 2, let’s start!!”

“… Come!”

Gullov shouted curiously.

Erase any attachment to set 1 from your mind.

He finished preparing to face Lee Do-hyeok with a new mind.

‘I won’t make the mistake of saving it for Kwabna and then losing it here!’

Gulov began to think of his current opponent as a formidable opponent, just like Kwabna.

[3… 2… 1… ]

[READY]

[FIGHT!!!]

That’s how the game started!

‘Thinking about the future is… pointless!’

It was right to just do my best on this board.

A desperate combo that I thought would work on anyone, as it was intended for Kwabna!

He intended to show it off in full force in this second set.

Pfft!

Just seconds after the match started, the two found themselves facing off at close range once again.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

This time, unlike before, it was Gullof who didn’t give up the opportunity.

The battle continues.

-Oh lol

-The roller coaster is also a bit tricky.

Of course, the losses piled up little by little.

-Kkkkkkkkk but you get cut off?

-If you can hold out like that, you’re holding out well, okay?

“Ah! Lee Do-hyeok is gaining the upper hand against Gulov in close combat!”

“Lee Do-hyeok is not just good at imitating! As you can see from the last match, his offensive and defensive abilities are outstanding!”

Gullof’s HP is slowly decreasing.

But there was nothing I could do.

‘This… son of a bitch…!’

“It’s going to be frustrating! Lee Do-hyeok is hiding his mode thoroughly this time too. Just like in the first set, he’s imitating Gulov’s Ivanov!”

“Oh, then Gulov will have no choice but to think a lot. And when you reach that level, those little differences tend to accumulate, right?”

‘What the heck… what mode is it this time…?!’

Tetsujin Lee Do-hyeok is following Ivanov just like in the first set, as if he is teasing him!

Naturally, Gullov had no choice but to be cautious.

“hmm….”

Lee Do-hyeok’s eyes sank as he looked at Gullof.

‘This kid… .’

You said you were Ivanov’s craftsman, so why don’t you put out something decent like a set?

[Mode: Ivanov]

It was a real mirror match that happened to be happening at the right time, and Lee Do-hyuk was fully prepared to ‘go beyond’ this set.

Bang! Bang!

Pfft!

The battle continued like that.

Eventually, Gullof fell below half-life.

Ugh-!

He chewed his lip as if he had no choice and leapt forward.

Show me!

The culmination of my endless training with the sole purpose of defeating Kwabna!
