I Have Reasons to Hate Streamers

Chapter 26 - Second Preliminaries (5)



After Gawol defeated Camellia, the community became quite lively.

The assassin who could slice anyone in the field.

For some reason, a peculiar person who didn’t dabble in broadcasting or the pro scene, but only engaged in PK.

A mysterious female user whose image has recently become somewhat ambiguous.

Talk about Gawol swept through the domestic Infinity Black users.

Streamers who mainly focused on game analysis content couldn’t miss this great topic.

[Title: Breakdown Analysis of Gawol’s 2nd Preliminary Match]

[‘Yurang’ is streaming.]

Streamer Yurang.

Known for his exceptional brain skills, currently working as an analyst for a pro team.

Recently, he was also talked about for creating a bamboo spear hunter build.

While his catastrophic physical skills held him back in the pro league, even that became a unique characteristic in the internet broadcasting world.

Now, he could even talk about it with a smile.

Though he still couldn’t laugh at the culture of frequently burning the chat.

For some reason, there were particularly many malicious users among his viewers.

– Here he comes here he comes here he comes

– Why are you late why are you late why are you late

– Na

– (fire)(fire)(fire)

– Rak

– Na

– (fire)(fire)(fire)

– Rak

“I’m sorry, everyone. I found something while reviewing the video, so I’m late. Calm down. Since I’m late, let’s start right away without small talk.”

As he said, Gawol’s video immediately appeared on the screen.

First, it was Gawol preparing for battle in the waiting room.

A smile that seemed to be enjoying this situation was briefly visible, and prepared presentation materials popped up on the side.

“There’s something I always say, right? That in Infinity Black, you start with about 30% from the initial build. Of course, that’s what we’ll look at first.”

There was no need to introduce the complex content in detail.

Such things had long since spread on strategy sites anyway.

What people expect from him is not boring skill lectures.

Yurang understood this point precisely.

“First, Camellia. It’s just standard, right? It means ‘Nice to meet you, let’s have a good fight.’ The problem is Gawol’s side, but don’t try to imitate this, everyone. Only Cerberus uses builds like this.”

The PPT slide changed, revealing Gawol’s build.

An extreme direction at a glance.

For Yurang, who usually played stability-oriented, it was enough to make him question his sanity.

Combat in Infinity Black is based on movement.

So passive skills are highly efficient, but… isn’t this too much?

“To summarize this, it would be ‘I’m good at fighting. I’m confident. Only attack!’ Overflowing with confidence, right? This mindset was clearly shown in the first match as well.”

Yurang skipped through the video.

The next point played was when Camellia’s spear first targeted Gawol.

The moment Gawol lightly avoided it.

“It’s a samurai basic. Downward slash. But look at the spear blade position. It’s aiming exactly at Gawol’s shoulder, right? Perfect distance control. I’ll tell you in advance, Camellia played well that day.”

– It’s hard to hit an assassin

– They really used it at just the right distance to hit

“What did this mean? It was just a greeting. ‘Hello?’ At the same time, it’s testing. They’re curious, right? Whether this person tends to dodge or block. But here, Gawol makes a sudden move. ‘How dare you test me?’ The expression seems a bit surprised, doesn’t it?”

He sharply pointed out what Elderin and SoolBbang had missed.

Camellia’s first attack was one that could be either dodged or blocked.

The reason for making an attack that wouldn’t connect was one thing: to figure out Gawol as an opponent.

But as Gawol suddenly tied up the weapon, the match started to tilt.

“From here, I tore it apart frame by frame. What did I say about Gawol’s build earlier?”

– I’m good at fighting

– I can do it.. if it’s me!

“Yes. They really just fought well. Especially this part where they climb up the spear is art, right? Even in this situation, the dagger position is sharp. What I felt here is that this person basically uses their body very well.”

?

 

Oh

“For a scene like that to come out, the thought process needs to reach there, right? Think about it. You need to know that such a movement is possible to even try it. Especially the flexibility shown here. At this level, I guess they would have amazing athletic ability in real life too?”

Yurang advanced the video frame by frame.

There was no other option for Camellia here. The detail of utilizing two daggers was good.

Simple yet clear explanations were like his specialty.

But was he too absorbed in the explanation?

His chat was already boiling over with a different topic.

Yurang’s mouth, which had been speaking calmly, gaped open.

– ???: Gawol is a woman who uses her body well

– lololololololololol

– Explain yourself

 – ???: Gawol’s body is surely flexible

“Hey, you crazy bastards! That’s not what I meant!”

[Title: Arena 3rd Round]

[‘Sigma e-Sports Luche’ is streaming.]

The berserker’s battle axe swung relentlessly.

Though the shield blocked it with a holy light, it seemed insufficient to withstand the fierce attack filled with demonic energy.

In the end, it was the paladin who took a step back first.

But that didn’t mean she was going to give up the initiative completely.

The blonde paladin, Luche, wedged her longsword between the axe blades.

Blocking each other’s arm while pulling out the weapon outwards.

Simultaneously, she charges forward with her shield in front.

[The berserker’s fighting spirit shakes your heart.]

[‘Light God’s Protection’ is consumed. Ignore the fear status effect.]

[Physical defense has increased by 20.]

The berserker didn’t stand still either.

As he struck down with his axe at the side not protected by the shield, the armor dented, leaving a wound.

However, it couldn’t stop the charge.

The warrior’s characteristic high strength. Added to that, the weight of heavy armor.

The paladin’s shield charge was itself a kind of mass weapon.

The berserker’s body collided with the solid wall. Blood bursting from his mouth dyed his beard red.

The berserker’s remaining health was about 20%.

It seemed like it would end if pushed a little more, but Luche chose to withdraw without regret.

Rather, it was the berserker’s role to desperately charge in.

The blood-covered berserker shouted loudly.

“Valhalla──!”

The foundation of desperate builds.

The skill that is like the identity of desperate berserkers opened.

[The berserker receives the effect of ‘Frenzy: Valhalla’.]

[The berserker cannot recover health, and all defense is fixed at 0. Also, they take fixed damage equal to 0.8% of their maximum health every second.]

[Instead, attack power increases by 75% of the reduced defense. Gain a shield equal to 10% of the damage dealt…]

The time left until the berserker’s self-destruction was about 30 seconds or less.

But at this timing, the berserker was stronger than any other class in Infinity Black.

She blocked the front again with a shield that had accumulated holiness and enlarged, but it couldn’t withstand for even a few seconds.

With the paladin’s slow movements, it was impossible to avoid engagement.

It was natural since this was probably a build assuming this situation.

But a kind of relief was visible in Luche’s expression.

She could endure enough. Thanks to advantageously resolving the early skirmish, she had many cards left.

The moment the berserker shattered Luche’s shield, pure white angel wings enveloped her body.

Blood-red eyes met hers, but the madness soon lost its vitality.

– Oh brave god, receive the warrior’s soul…

[You have won Round 3-3.]

[vs Igor(Berserker)]

[You have successfully advanced to Round 4.]

As soon as the system message appeared, Luche slumped down.

Clenching her fist tightly. It seemed she was checking her sense of reality.

Loss-Win-Win. The lingering feelings didn’t fade from the heart-pounding result.

“Haa, ha… Wow, wow. That was close.”

Battles between warrior-type classes are the most popular matchups in Infinity Black.

Heavy and slow, yet each strike is fatal!

It was a fight enough to stir the hearts of many men… but it was also physically demanding.

Especially today, it felt like her stamina had been completely drained.

– Wow, that’s really fortunate

– Igor is so scary

– I thought he was just a crazy concept fanatic lololololol

– Loving berserkers so much that he became a berserker himself….

“Today’s Arena… I’ll stop here. I feel like I’ve used up all my concentration.”

– Well, the previous rounds were all close wins too

– Seems like the matching luck is a bit harsh;

– They say Gawol is doing Arena soon, are you going to watch?

Spectating, huh.

She was just thinking of resting from now on, but wouldn’t spectating be okay?

Luche was tempted.

“Oh, really? Then… I’d like to watch. It must be a rare opportunity. Shall we all watch together? Just a moment. I’ll ask SoolBbang and Elderin if it’s okay to turn on the broadcast and watch.”
