Episode 95 [Overground] – Shitty Character..? (1)

EVO: The moment when the Iron Fist winner was confirmed.

Korean gaming communities are heating up.

Of course, there was one topic.

Lee Do-hyuk.

yep

-Simple facts

-Keep on going lol

-What is a changeup?

– Honest young man

Starting with posts praising Lee Do-hyeok, to humorous posts that pop up in the gaps.

The entire community was flooded with posts related to Lee Do-hyuk.

EVO is the world’s best stage, the Olympics of the fighting game world.

This is not the first time that the winner has been Korean.

There are currently three EVO: Ultimate Fighter champions from Korea, one of whom has won the title four times.

Rather, at that time, news like, ‘What? A pro from another country, not Korea, won?’ became a bigger issue.

But those days are now a thing of the past, and in the years since the paradigm shift from Ulfa to Iron Fist, not a single Korean has won an international fighting game tournament.

And this is not just talking about Iron Fist, but also including other unpopular fighting games.

[Wow, how long has it been since I’ve seen a win like this?]

[Should I suck it…?]

[Great Emperor God]

-f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋ Lee Do-hyuk and I have completely different writing styles

N You’re in at the end, right?

Yeah lol

This time, the winner of Iron Fist, which is the most popular of all the events in the world and even in Korea, was a Korean.

It was only natural that stories about Lee Do-hyeok would pour in.

“Wow, bro. I think you should take a look at this.”

Even this heated response toward Lee Do-hyeok was not limited to the gaming community.

Kim Yun-seong hands his tablet to Lee Do-hyeok.

As he serves as editor and manager, it is also his job to check external emails such as advertisements.

Since it is an email that is made public, he goes through a primary verification process because he receives all kinds of emails from all kinds of places, not just business-related emails.

If not, Lee Do-hyeok might have had to check dozens of emails a day asking to borrow money.

But this time, there were too many calls to go through that process.

“…hmm?”

Lee Do-hyuk holding the tablet.

The first thing that caught my eye were the emails from the professional clubs that had backed out after hearing his counteroffer yesterday.

‘You’re taking all of this?’

It was a bit unexpected.

There were quite a few clubs that accepted Lee Do-hyeok’s conditions, which were almost like, ‘I’ll only come to competitions when I want and take the money, so do whatever you want.’

Although the amount he had mentioned was large, there was no place that would match his entire annual salary, but the contract terms were to be as close to that as possible through various options.

‘Is it because of the rivalry with Kwabna?’

Of course, the difference shown in the final was quite clear enough to warrant the name of rivalry.

But no matter how big the difference between the two was, once they started fighting as rivals, box office success was bound to follow.

Still, isn’t it a fight between the strongest characters in the Iron Fist universe?

This is a fact that can be easily seen just by looking at the Great Battle of Meho, which has now become history several decades ago.

anyway.

Boom- Boom-

Lee Do-hyeok puts those emails aside without a moment’s hesitation.

You can just send a separate rejection email later.

The decision was made a long time ago.

I don’t think a pro would do it.

The next thing I checked were the advertising proposal emails from companies.

Since most of them are game-related companies, their company names were familiar.

The fact that he knows the name means that it is a big company in the gaming industry.

Among them, SI Entertainment, the organizer of this year’s EVO, and Banko Spirits, the producer of Iron Fist, as well as Fair, who had once commissioned him to advertise…

‘hmm?’

Bb-

At that moment, an email caught my eye.

Lee Do-hyuk clicked on it as if he was possessed.

“…Wow.”

Elasticity that comes out naturally.

It wasn’t Lee Do-hyeok’s, but the exclamation made by Kim Yun-seong, who was reading his email next to him.

Of course, Lee Do-hyuk also showed some reaction.

Lee Do-hyeok skimming through the contents of the email.

‘One, two, three…’

Lee Do-hyeok counted the number of zeros written in the email.

‘Five, six…?!’

Quickly calculated exchange rates.

His eyes opened wide.

* * *

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

Viewers rushed over as soon as the alarm rang.

-Kyaaaaaaaaaaa

-sssssssssssss

-It’s here

-Setgs

It wasn’t a broadcast that was announced and turned on in advance.

Rather, it was closer to the opposite.

A broadcast that started at an unexpected time.

[Real-time ‘God’s’ location.jpg]

[Current Bank speed is about Mach 1. Equal to or higher than Dohyuk sensei ㄷㄷ]

[Pacific…? Hmm, is that it?]

These were posts that had been uploaded within the Twitter community.

Viewers were chattering as they tracked the location of the international flight that Lee Do-hyuk was on in real time.

Since the arrival time was also shared, it was expected that it would take quite some time to sort things out and turn on the broadcast.

But the broadcast came back on a few hours earlier.

It was clear that he turned it on as soon as he got home.

-Okay

-ttttttt

-Doha!

-Oh, you’re turning it on as soon as you get home?

-Why did you come now? Why did you come now? Why did you come now?

-Surprise broadcast!

-Light light light

[Current viewers: 2,132]

Five seconds after turning on the broadcast.

[Current viewers: 4,517]

10 seconds.

[Current viewers: 12,328]

30 seconds.

The units for the increasing number of viewers are different.

If the broadcast time had been announced in advance and turned on, it would be unimaginable to what extent it would have been.

Ta-da-

At that time.

A sound effect was heard.

The broadcast screen, which was completely black, is further shattered with a bang in the center.

Boom! Boom!

The intro that follows.

The bass is added to the majestic drum sound.

And what appears is-

────! ──!

───!!

The heat of the EVO stage.

The crowd roared at the top of their lungs.

“Eeeeeeeeek!!!”

Lee Do-hyeok is walking in the meantime.

Because it depicts a real-life scene, it is lightly dressed.

But right then.

Crackle, crackle-

The appearance of Lee Do-hyeok being overlaid with something along with a mechanical sound.

It started to overlap with Tetsujin’s outfit.

Pushik-

The capsule door opens.

The volume of the background music increases.

The cheers from the audience poured in after that.

The atmosphere becomes more and more tense as the voices calling out Lee Do-hyeok’s name grow louder.

-Wow

-What?

-dgggg

-Is this a Dotube work?

-You used some strength

Only then did the viewers realize what was going on.

An edited video that was probably prepared on the way back.

It was clear that this was a brief summary of Lee Do-hyeok’s journey at this year’s EVO tournament.

As expected.

Whoosh! Whoosh-!

Kuuung-!

Starting with the preliminary round, the matches that Lee Do-hyeok played are presented with a sense of speed.

Lee Do-hyeok, who chose a melee-focused martial artist character in most games, and even if he didn’t, he played that way.

Thanks to this, each battle flows smoothly with just a little bit of CG.

Papak! Pot!

Wanted, Gullof, Beyond…

Finally…

─Kwaang!

[-

“Kwabna. You?”

]

Bam- Bam!

[-

“You’re talented. Just keep doing this.”

]

Even the sight of Kwabna flying far away.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋWow I did it again for real

-Even if I look at it again, it’s still really annoying

-What’s really creepy is that there are almost no edited scenes lol -Did you get hit 4 or 5 times in total during the competition?

-Which one did you hit in the meantime? You’re talented, right?

-Really, if it’s at the level of Kwabna, it’s worth joining the bottom of the Four Heavenly Kings

-Then who’s missing?

-Ah haha, tell him to leave the room

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!! He’s the world champion!”

Champion Call.

And the video ends with Lee Do-hyeok lifting the EVO championship trophy.

────! ──!

───!!

The video stops as Lee Do-hyuk raises the championship trophy high in the sky.

How many seconds passed like that?

-?

-Meet

-Broadcasting accident?

-So always with me

By now, we’ve seen all the videos, so Lee Do-hyuk should be making an appearance, but he still hasn’t shown up.

The last part of the video is frozen and floating.

-Where is he?

-Have you been to the fable platform?;;

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋf*ck

-Really why aren’t you coming?

[Current viewers: 42,129]

As the EVO recap video plays for a few minutes, the number of viewers increases dramatically.

At that time, all 40,000 people were bewildered because Lee Do-hyeok did not appear.

Kiriririk-

I can hear the sound of the spring winding.

Then the video plays again.

Time flows in reverse, with the sound of a clock ticking as if turning back time.

Kwabna, Beyond, Gullov… at the trophy

Pfft!

After going through the EVO entrance scene that was first shown in the video –

─Crunch!

Twerk Rivals who defeated Lin.

The video continues.

The black girl who appears one after another, Shinjiro.

Boom!

The background music changes with the impact sound.

Next up is Ultimate Fighter.

This is the last match between Lee Do-hyeok and Anatol in Ulpa.

Kiriririk-!

At that moment, the video plays at several times the speed.

A view of the water flowing backwards, reflecting Tsuki and the like.

-They’re showing all the broadcasts I’ve done so far. Wow

-What? LOL

-Wow, I helped edit it

-Save me

The playback speed has now become so fast that it is difficult to tell who is in the video.

Then, the screen finally stops.

[“Haha.”]

What I hear is someone’s hollow laughter.

It was a voice that fans of Lee Do-hyeok, or even fans of Iron Fist, might recognize.

-uh?

-no way

-Oh, at this timing?

-???

-Wow

-Lightning… cut it…

The moment when Lee Do-hyuk made the biggest impression on people was when he first came to my attention.

How many memes were created from just this one scene?

That wasn’t all.

The scene with the highest number of views among the shorts uploaded on Lee Do-hyuk’s iTube.

Taat!

Lee Do-hyuk leaped forward.

That was the moment.

Hwaruk-

Lee Do-hyuk’s feet spitting fire.

Any viewer who has visited here right now cannot help but know about ‘That Combat Technique’.

Lee Do-hyuk’s legs quickly stretched out.

fault!

From Seonpunggak to Hongyeomgak.

Breaking the collarbone, and then…

─Bam!

Finally, to the Jilpunggak.

After that, the screen goes black again.

Then a logo slowly fills the screen.

[Overground]

Overground.

The official title of the game is [Summit War: Overground].

The concept was simple.

1. I prepared everything because I didn’t know what you would like.

2. So, from now on, kill each other.

A battle royale game that lets you choose from a variety of characters from all kinds of games.

Naturally, the once popular game Ultimate Fighter was also one of those ‘all kinds of games’.

That is, among the playable characters in Overground, there is one that is particularly welcome to Lee Do-hyeok’s viewers.

“hmm….”

A familiar word that I heard at that moment.

Paat-

The lights flash, the logo disappears, and a person finally appears.

Why was Hawken the last one in the video?

It was Lee Do-hyuk who appeared with the answer to that question.

A body surrounded by black fog.

In hand is a black gauntlet.

Hwaruk-

Even the burning red flames in between.

“I, Kangrim.”

The night fighter, Lee Do-hyeok, appeared in the form of Hoken.

* * *

[Summit War: Overground].

If you’re a gamer, you can’t not know this game.

This is the true king of the battle royale genre.

It is usually called Opji, Opgg, Normal War, or Brawl, but some gamers call it Jjattang Royale.

The reason it is called Japtang is because of Overground’s box office strategy.

[Overground] brings together popular characters from most genres of popular games, including characters from Legend League, the most popular game in AOS at the moment, playable characters from famous RPGs, Souls games, and hyper shooting FPS games, through an octopus-style collaboration strategy, as well as original characters.

It was a similar concept to the once popular game’s user map, PaoCae.

If you just look at the gameplay format, it’s a very typical battle royale game.

As time goes by, up to 100 people are dropped into a map that gradually shrinks, and the last person (or team) is determined by farming items and obtaining supplies on the vast map.

But, since I put all kinds of popular characters from popular games in there…

-and

-ssss

-Do-hyuk sensei is giving you an option?

-Are you going to throw it away?

-I threw that away a long time ago lol. You guys are stealing the room too. -Really lol. Even though it was a hit, it was too popular and over-the-top.

Peak concurrent users: 8.2 million.

One of the major games that still enjoys immense popularity.

Perhaps that’s why viewers reacted so positively despite the sudden change in game style.

Of course, Overground’s popularity wasn’t the only reason viewers reacted that way.

For a general game streamer, game transition was a topic that had to be approached very carefully.

Depending on which game is played, the viewership can either drop or rise.

But in Lee Do-hyeok’s case, he was quite free in that respect.

Most of the viewers who watch his broadcasts are fans of fighting games, but it was thanks to this that they had long since become fans of the person Lee Do-hyuk rather than a specific game.

In other words, it means that even if Lee Do-hyeok showed up with Monster Buddies turned on instead of Overground and said, “It’s been a while since I’ve done a Bbaeng Bbaeng Mukbang Ret,” he would be the kind of person who would die for happiness.

And one more reason.

[Overground, Running for 1st Place in Ranking with Hawken / Lee Do-hyeok / 51,218 people]

Lee Do-hyeok’s Hoken, which was revealed from the beginning, declared to run for first place.

The important thing is this part, ‘to Hoken’.

Ultimately, the biggest base for Lee Do-hyuk’s fandom is the fighting game fandom built up by Ulfa and Iron Fist.

I like any game I play, but I can’t help but like fighting games even more.

-Wow

-Wow, Dohyuk sensei is coming to Hoken ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I’m really looking forward to it already

-I live in a strange place

-Honestly, even if you’re not an idiot, it’s nice to see Hawken after a long time, so I recommend it ㅋㅋ-ssgggg But you’re going to play Overground only with Hawken, who isn’t just a fighting game character, but is also the most popular character even within the idiot community, and who even has a symbolic meaning to Lee Do-hyeok!

Besides, Hawken…

I don’t know about the Ulpa, but Hawken on the Overground…

-But is it possible for this to be number 1? LOL

-I don’t know?

-If we don’t get first place, we’ll have to play for 720 hours, so we’ll just end up in second place-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ -No matter how much Dohyuk sensei you are… Sseup… 1st place with Hoken… ??

-I can’t even imagine it

Shithead.

No, not just any piece of shit, but the shittiest of the shitties.

With the addition of 6 new characters a week ago, the total number of characters in Overground has increased to 324, ranking 324th with the lowest average win rate.

In other words, it is the worst of the worst in terms of performance.

Although his pick rate is high compared to his win rate thanks to his unique sensibility, he is also at the bottom of the rankings, never having made it into the top 300 in the past 3 years!

This is a son of a bitch that was thrown away by Overground and Fair Games, the developer of Ulpa!

That was the position that Hawken occupied in the game called Overground.

But Lee Do-hyuk plays that?

And even running for first place while keeping your promises?

There is something that any viewer of Lee Do-hyeok would agree with.

That is, ‘Lee Do-hyuk = world’s best physique’.

That guy… the maggot character Hawken?

-I don’t know if it’s Dohyuk Sensei

-Yeah, you fooled me once or twice?

-Are you kidding me again?

-No lol but I don’t know about Hawken

-? Isn’t it okay to just hit them while avoiding all the guns and projectiles?

-How do you dodge a gun?

-If that were the case, then it wouldn’t have the lowest win rate, lol

-No, the opponent fired 10 rounds of slash, lol

-Hmm… Is that it?

-???: How do you dodge a gun? First, look at the direction of the gun muzzle… (Actually said)

-Fact)

-Ah haha ​​I said it’s possible for that person

Will Hawken win!

Will Lee Do-hyuk win?

Whoever the winner is, I just couldn’t stand this.
