Episode 394 Enemy and Comrade
Since the power of the relic is so certain, even if the spirit in the game is realistic, it is unlikely to have a significant effect on the actual body…
Was the danger of this underground tunnel and freezing that much of a shock to Kim Do-jun?
Kim Do-jun, who came out after finishing the game, was shivering and sneezing as if he had a cold.
“It was… cold… and lonely… .”
“What are you talking about, Kim Do-jun! We were together too, so it’s lonely!”
Ryu Jae-jun immediately refuted the claim as if it was ridiculous.
“You were such a coward that you went out alone.”
Kim Do-jun didn’t even eat the seeds. He knew that he had gone out as part of a strategy, but he seemed to be dissatisfied with something. Was it because he had stayed in a damp and cold place, and Ryu Jae-jun had gone out alone?
Anyway, I don’t know what happened, but it really felt like I had caught a cold.
But the interesting thing was that Ryu Jae-jun, who was there with them, as well as Lee Yeon-ju and Lee Seo-hyun, showed no such signs.
‘Is it a mental issue? Or maybe I caught a cold from someone before I actually came here… … .’
I thought it was a strange thing. But I had to get in shape for the next game, so I covered Kim Do-jun with a blanket and turned off my attention.
Actually, it was natural, because I finished a difficult game. I was more concerned about this game than Kim Do-jun. And this was right. Whether it was for reviewing feedback or just to maintain my senses.
‘Lastly, Yoon Han-gyeol… … If I hadn’t made this decision, it would have been a little dangerous because of the momentary hesitation.’
Of course, it wasn’t a calculated choice. After finishing this game, one thing was clear. Just because it’s difficult and a path no one has ever taken before, you shouldn’t accept the danger that comes and give up.
After enduring the crushing weight and looking back at yourself calmly, if you keep moving without stopping even in that fear, only then will you be able to see the sky.
‘Before the regression, I was the one who walked the tightrope. I always thought so, but lately, there have been too few crises.’
I thought maybe it was because there were so many games where I won pretty well, but I might have become a little dull.
But on the other hand, it was also a match with many positive aspects.
Maybe it was because this match was really not easy. Because every moment of the match was like walking on a knife’s edge, it reminded me of that extreme feeling again.
‘Ryu Jae-jun also [Mana Unleashed]… … It seems like he’s grown a lot. As a netizen said, he’s used Lee Seo-hyun and confirmed its effectiveness in real life with the ‘Relic Omakase Strategy’. It couldn’t be better.’
In short, the process was difficult, but the results were satisfactory.
By the way, I wondered if other people had seen it well. There were also parts where my heart was pounding while going to the waiting room.
While I was thinking about this and that, it was only a matter of time before I arrived at the PER team waiting room.
Squeak -.
But the first reaction Kim Do-jun, who was walking in front, had when he opened the waiting room door was… … Yes.
Kim Yu-hyeon’s reaction was to see Kim Do-jun, stand there dumbfounded, and then reluctantly say a word in the awkward atmosphere.
“Ah… … That. Basement freezer.”
Was it because it was after riding the dragon that the flames in my heart burned so hotly?
I felt like the spark was dying down at the cold response of my teammate.
***
“Ah… … The reaction was good, and I opened the door with a pounding heart. But all I saw was Kim Do-jun shivering from the cold, so that’s why I said that?”
That was the only fortunate part.
Actually, looking at the bulletin board posts, as Kim Yu-hyeon said, the response was not bad.
‘No, if you think about it, it can’t be bad.’
I’m probably the first hunter in the international league to ride a dragon.
“Oh. But… … Interview! Have you thought about the interview?”
After a brief chat, Kim Yu-hyeon asked, as if he had just remembered something.
If you think about it, the MVP of this game was easily predicted to be me, and that was the reason why the question came up.
But since interviews are something I’m quite familiar with, I wondered if I should prepare separately and why they’re asking me this. It wasn’t until Kim Yu-hyeon asked me again that I realized.
“I said that in the pre-match interview. ‘That judge, I will judge today. I will even leave a comment.’”
Was it funny that he imitated my voice and spoke with a serious expression? The surrounding team members burst into laughter at Kim Yu-hyeon’s unexpected side… …
Actually, when I heard those words, a cold sweat ran down my back.
Because I had completely forgotten that I had said that. At the time, I had just said it thoughtlessly, to lighten the mood.
Since he was actually going to win the MVP, questions about it were bound to come up.
“It’s an interview… … .”
I have said the words, but actually leaving a critique to someone who is a senior in the industry. Maybe it won’t be seen so favorably by other people…
But a promise is a promise.
‘And I have something I want to say… … .’
Even if it is a place where it is easy to make problematic remarks, it is a position that you must rise to.
“Then, Lee Chang-hyun! I would like to ask you to interview me as the representative of the PER team.”
Just then, the staff’s call was heard.
***
Outside, heading towards the interview room, the British team’s interview was in full swing.
[Caster: The British team was also quite strong. And in the end, they were defeated by Lee Chang-hyun, who was also a player you judged in the past. What do you think is the reason for that?]
It’s a bit of a harsh question to ask a player who seems to want to win more than anyone else.
But it was also something to be expected.
Because that would be polite to the players who support the British team.
[Lee Min-seok: I can give you some specific reasons or examples of strategic mistakes, but I think there is a fundamental difference.]
[Caster: What is the fundamental difference?]
Lee Min-seok answered the caster’s additional questions with a bitter smile.
[Lee Min-seok: It’s skill. It’s just a difference in overall and basic skill. When I first figured out the map and planned the strategy, I couldn’t have imagined that a PER player would be able to break through the air of a map that no one else had. And isn’t it the difference in ‘skill’ that actually made it possible?]
And Lee Min-seok was evaluating himself and the British team objectively and coolly.
Simply put, it wasn’t a good thing that the map was hung.
It would be safe to say that it was something no team in the world would have expected to be able to take control of and move a dragon, which was considered an area that no one dared challenge.
He was saying that it was purely his own and the British team’s lack of skill.
This interview was one that made me think that Lee Min-seok is an amazing person, just like I felt during the first audition.

It’s easy to make excuses for losing, but it’s not easy to say that it’s purely your own fault.
It was also a statement that was easily targeted by fans who blamed him for the defeat.
I also understood why it was difficult because I had been in the same position as Lee Min-seok, so my heart was not at ease.
But even so, I can’t avoid doing the interview I promised…
‘I said I would judge the judges and leave comments half-heartedly… … but I guess I’ll have to do it eventually.’
However, it is true that I also wanted to support Lee Min-seok, who knew how to respect others and wanted to move forward while being aware of his own shortcomings.
With that in mind, I began the interview.
Across from where Lee Min-seok’s interview is still in progress. From a position where they can see each other.
[Caster: This match features Lee Min-seok, who was a judge in a past audition. You said that you will judge Lee Min-seok, who judged you in the past. So what are the judges’ comments?]
Along with the caster’s question, countless responses poured in from the live chat seen from the side.
[Lee Min-seok’s comment lol They really make you do that.]
n You traitor who abandoned Korea and went abroad to win!
No, you’re a traitor. When you were playing in overseas leagues, you were making a fuss about how you were the pride of Korea. Do you have a conscience?
N yeah, if we lose, it’s not our team~ It’s that team~
n Lee Chang-hyun’s personality: Expected answer ‘As it’s a review… … hmm. It’s harder than Jo Ara or Jin Su-hyeok, but it’s still easy. It was a little bit boring.’
n If you think about Lee Chang-hyun’s personality, this is better than that. ‘Hmm… … He left Korea and went to a foreign league to win. He’s not that great.’ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The reaction in the chat window was mixed.
Half of the people just reacted provocatively regardless. Half of the people were upset that Lee Min-seok, a traitor who rarely participated in the national team, lost.
From the perspective of netizens watching, there were definitely parts where they felt a sense of betrayal. But I guess it was because I could empathize with Lee Min-seok’s feelings as a player.
Although less provocative than usual, he said this:
[Lee Chang-hyun: Judging comments… … Ahem. Then let me try to act like a real judge.]
He cleared his throat and crossed his arms as if he was imitating Lee Min-seok during his first audition.
And then, when he was ready, he began to speak.
[Lee Chang-hyun: We clearly lost, but… … we fought hard. The British team showed many great performances, such as causing a tidal wave and tormenting the opponent with a huge javelin. But in the end, it was a difference in skill, I guess? A difference in the ability to see the decisive moment. In that regard, I can say that Lee Min-seok’s leading was a little disappointing.]
[But he still treats me politely because I’m his senior. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
n Interpretation: ‘If Lee Min-seok had done as much as the guy who caused the tsunami or threw the spear, he would have won lol’
N f*ck lol I guess it really does sound like that.
ㄴ I’m a fan of Lee Min-seok, so it’s a little heartbreaking, but… … it’s true that he won.
Even though he tried to tone it down to lessen the stimulation, he continued to exploit the gap and jeer at Lee Min-seok.
However, I didn’t stop answering there.
[Lee Chang-hyun: However, the player who caught my eye the most was Lee Min-seok.]
Perhaps no one noticed. This was what Lee Min-seok said in defense of Jo Ara, who tried to eliminate him by exploiting a loophole in the rules during the first audition.
[Lee Chang-hyun: Since the air cannot be used, the base strategy is to tie up the opponent’s feet and force them to make an unreasonable choice. And the combination of ‘Pachoseon’, throwing ice shards, and throwing spears prepared to block the relics through drones. All of those strategies were excellent. And the person who came up with those strategies was none other than player Lee Min-seok.]
Even though Lee Min-seok is not the main orderer, it is one of the facts I know well that he is the ‘real brain’ of the British team who devises various tactics.
[Lee Chang-hyun: So, in fact, Lee Min-seok’s leading… Even though the tactics were a bit disappointing, it was only a slight difference. It was definitely the best and the best. Of course, if any other team other than our team came from the international league, they would have lost to the British team’s tactics. I think Blackhawks would have been no different.]
In short, the opponent was bad. If it weren’t for our team, any team could have easily won on this map. As the ace of the winning team, that was the highest compliment I could give.
Didn’t I know you’d say something like that? I felt Lee Min-seok blinking and looking at me from across the room.
Of course, since the weight of those words was not light, the casters and viewers seemed to be focusing on something else.
[Caster: If it weren’t for PER, but any other team… any team would have lost to the British team on this map. So does that mean that PER is confident of a complete victory against any team in the quarterfinals?]
It was also a simple fact. If what I am saying is true now. That is, if the English team, even though they lost to PER, were good enough to beat all the other teams. Because PER had to be willing to beat all the other teams.
[Lee Chang-hyun wide area aggro ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Can you handle this?]
N yeah lol Black Hawk Aurora Golden Leafs all declared “just crawl”.
N Every single moment was just crazy lol I felt it when I was riding the dragon too
N Rather, I like it. Hehe… … Bro, I feel weird.
Are you crazy???
n If you lose like a dog in the semifinals like this, you’re a legend
The reaction in the comments was pretty much expected.
If he said something like that and lost the next game, it was obvious what would happen.
Rather, it was an action that only increased risk. It was an action that only increased risk without any return by being a guest for no reason.
It was like fighting with the honor of the defeated British team on their shoulders.
But I said it with a smile instead.
Because I believe in the time I’ve accumulated so far. Because I don’t hesitate to believe in my talent and have confidence in it.
“Of course. The enemy is Black Hawk, Aurora, Golden Leafs. It doesn’t matter where… … .”
And the years that Lee Min-seok has built up so far and the efforts he has made to win. The results of that have not been able to shine because the opponent was PER. I thought that the performances he showed in this game would definitely shine.
He took a deep breath and said.
“I’m telling them to rush in. I’ll judge them very strictly. Well, I don’t think there are many teams that will be evaluated better than England.”
fantasy,
