Chapter 184 : Strategy Meeting
Chapter 184: Strategy Meeting
“···Hehehe···.”
Yoojeu-Yoojeu, who made eye contact with Baek Woohyun, grinned broadly.
While it was expressed that she was clinging to Baek Woohyun’s back, that didn’t mean she was stuck to him like a turtle shell.
If that were the case, the chat would have been overflowing with talk about Yoojeu-Yoojeu while ignoring Lee Sihu and Dodo.
Interestingly, she was simply standing quietly, just one step behind Baek Woohyun.
According to the chat’s expression, ‘like a doll waiting to be controlled.’
The sensation of entrusting everything and simply following Baek Woohyun’s control seemed to resonate deeply with her.
‘Yoojeu-Yoojeu is needless to say, great.’
Perhaps because of this, the person currently receiving the greatest coaching effect from Baek Woohyun in Team All-In wasn’t the Lee Sihu and Dodo Gold duo, but Yoojeu-Yoojeu.
She, who had been hovering around the lower ranks of Diamond tier, had now reached Master tier, achieving the same level as team leader Redok.
Of course, looking at tiers alone, Bronze→Gold is a two-tier jump, while Diamond→Master is one tier, so one could argue the former was better.
However, considering that she focused more on solo practice in the training grounds than PVP rank, the story changed.
Viewers gossiped that if she had spent time playing ranked games instead of fighting Etinel, she might have reached Grand Master tier.
This was because they had seen her completely demolish Diamond tier and utterly crush her opponents even when playing in Master tier.
‘If everyone were like Yoojeu-Yoojeu···.’
Suddenly, a plan that could be called an alternative formed in Baek Woohyun’s mind.
A plan to form a raid party consisting only of those who matched well with his ‘Puppeteer Art,’ like Yoojeu-Yoojeu, and proceed with the raid purely through his control.
For now, he would proceed with the raid by carefully selecting only skilled individuals, but if even the dream team failed, it would be worth trying.
“······.”
Nod.
-Does anyone know why she’s smiling and why he’s nodding?
-Don’t know lol (really don’t know)
-Maybe there’s something only the puppeteer and puppet can understand
-That side may be worse, but this side isn’t normal either lol
Anyway, Lee Sihu, Dodo, and Yoojeu-Yoojeu, the three who were considered the biggest problems when Team All-In was formed, were all normal—in Baek Woohyun’s view.
Kang Soyul was also taking the SSR Cup seriously from the normal camp, having abandoned the One Who Enjoys mode as the three climbed up.
“Everyone looks so excited! Let’s go strong today too!”
-Everyone looks so? excited?
-Two of them are so excited they’ve lost their minds though?
-Team leader, do something about it lol
-Useless. To a madman with clear eyes, even this scene is just ordinary daily life
Redok, who had always been a madman with clear eyes, hadn’t changed at all despite the tremendous changes in the team from the auction to practice.
He still remained as a madman with clear eyes, taking on the role of team leader for the chaos-filled Team All-In and establishing himself firmly as an unwavering pillar.
While other team members changed like crazy through Baek Woohyun’s coaching, only he remained the same, making him feel even more reliable.
It was indeed a conduct befitting the talent Baek Woohyun had recruited as raid leader.
“Now, let’s begin the strategy meeting.”
Kim Jijun, whom viewers called the only completely normal person in the madman-filled Team All-In, the coach ‘Enre,’ spoke.
The interesting fact was that he only conveyed the strategy meeting start declaration to Kang Soyul, Redok, and Jeong Nayeon—she shouted “Why me again?!”
He didn’t even glance at the three people considered Team All-In’s three great madmen—Lee Sihu, Dodo, and Yoojeu-Yoojeu—merely delivering a single note to Baek Woohyun.
-Enre: Please gather everyone for the strategy meeting!
“······.”
-Smart people don’t get involved with fools
-This is just dumping work lol you bad guy
-It’s fine since he’s asking the puppeteer to bring the puppets
-True lol if you just call the puppeteer, everyone comes, so why bother?
It was indeed a very wise choice befitting Team All-In’s only normal person and coach.
It’s not that they wouldn’t come if Kim Jijun called them, but anyway, if you’re a wise person, you don’t associate with crazy people, right?
Rather than being displeased after reading the note, Baek Woohyun chuckled and soon snapped his fingers.
Snap!
“Hahaha! -Hm?”
“It’s Gold, Gol! -Ah!”
“···Hehehe···.”
-Wow, they react to that?
-At this point, the coach chose the right method
-Even with their minds gone, they still have to follow coaching
-Madman-gers Assemble lol
Since Baek Woohyun’s finger snap was executed based on superhuman physical strength, it had a more intense resonance, which is why they reacted—but what does that matter?
To viewers who sometimes self-deprecatingly call themselves dopamine addicts, the more interesting hypothesis was the truth.
“Everyone, gather.”
“Understood.” “Coming right away!” “···Yes···!”
Even if you dismiss the finger snapping, looking at Lee Sihu, Dodo, and Yoojeu-Yoojeu promptly gathering when Baek Woohyun casually threw out a word, it wasn’t exactly a wrong claim.
Even if not as much as the viewers claimed, it was clear that Baek Woohyun wielded tremendous influence over the three.
Lee Sihu, who had been flying around bursting into mad laughter, and Dodo, who had been displaying Gold Syndrome in real-time, obediently descended next to Baek Woohyun as if nothing had happened.
Not to mention Yoojeu-Yoojeu, who had been continuously staying in Baek Woohyun’s shadow since gathering at the training grounds before the scheduled time.
-This is why they really look like a Demon King and subordinates
-It’s a shame there aren’t four lol
-True, the Four Heavenly Kings is the standard!
-If you include ‘One Who Enjoys’ Kang Soyul, it’s perfect haha
‘ㅇㅇ’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[Demon King’s army deployment complete]
Viewers who saw this scene chattered about a Demon King’s army or whatnot, which was inevitable given the appearance of Baek Woohyun and the others.
Baek Woohyun, who was handsome but had dark circles under his eyes, the gloomy-atmosphere beauty Yoojeu-Yoojeu, and the sharp-featured Lee Sihu wearing a hood.
At least Dodo, true to being just twenty years old, boasted a fresh appearance, but even that had been eerily distorted through Baek Woohyun’s coaching.
It wasn’t for nothing that the community also called Team All-In a Demon King’s army and referred to Baek Woohyun as the leader, the Demon King.
Not only had their weight class absurdly inflated from laugh candidates to championship contenders, but their appearance made it absolutely impossible to place them on the side of good forces.
“Let’s go.”
“””Yes!”””
-Look how spirited they are
-But I would’ve done the same;
-Ah lol if they get on his bad side, the promised Platinum tier flies away lol
-Yoojeu-Yoojeu isn’t thinking anything because she’s just not thinking anything at all
Lee Sihu, Dodo, and Yoojeu-Yoojeu responded vigorously to Baek Woohyun’s words.
However, rather than commenting on their attitude, viewers were busy giggling, thinking they would have acted the same way.
It was only natural to listen to the words of a benefactor who would raise Bronze to Gold, and further to Platinum, and Diamond to Master or higher.
“You’re here. Then I’ll start by telling you what I analyzed about the other four teams. First, if you look at this diagram—”
While Baek Woohyun was rapidly inflating Team All-In’s weight class (skill) as a coach, Kim Jijun quickly laid out information he had confirmed by spying on other teams’ training.
Currently, excluding Redok’s Team All-In, there were four participating teams in the SSR Cup ‘Struggle-Annihilation’ division, led by team leaders Deres, Kim Woong, Bior Han, and Semyeong.
Since the ‘Struggle-Annihilation’ division was conducted in a full league format, it meant they had to analyze all four teams and prepare strategies tailored to each team if necessary.
“In the case of Team ‘Dereste’ led by Deres, they seem to set up one tanker and fill the rest entirely with ranged dealers—”
-What does Dereste mean?
-First of all, it’s short for Deres’s Stage
-Feels like there’s another meaning mixed in, hmm···
-Freeze! Everyone acting like they know is an otaku!
“Lastly, in the case of Team ‘One Person, Two People, Three People’ led by Semyeong, they have quite a few close-range build users compared to other teams—”
Kim Jijun, talking non-stop, was clearly showing how thoroughly he had analyzed the other four teams in exchange for abandoning coaching.
Not only what ability builds each team’s members preferred, but also the strategies opponents used that could be inferred from that.
He had even cleanly established countermeasures Team All-In should take—what strategies would make it easy to gain an advantage.
It was fair to say that coach Baek Woohyun handled team coaching while coach Kim Jijun handled the team’s overall strategy and tactics, both perfectly performing their roles.
“—That’s all. Any questions?”
“Ohhh···!”
“As expected of my friend! Good! Very good!”
-This is why you use a coach
-The coach-director team here is just overwhelming??
-I thought he was just a poor person always suffering under Redok lol
-With an already crazy weight class plus this level of tactics?
Clap clap clap!
Actually, if you think about it, calling this a strategy meeting was a stretch. Kim Jijun had already finished analyzing other teams and even created custom strategies.
It would be more accurate to call it a strategy ‘explanation’ meeting. Or remove even the word meeting since there wasn’t even discussion.
But that absolutely didn’t mean it was bad. Just looking at Team All-In excitedly showering him with applause made that clear.
Well, spying on other teams, analyzing them, and setting up strategies is bound to give you a headache, so naturally players wouldn’t like it.
“While browsing the community, I saw a quite interesting evaluation. They called our team a Demon King’s army, saying we’re a balance-breaking team that will beat everyone and win?”
“Ah, I saw that too! It was well organized!”
“Demon King’s army. Cool! Since it’s come to this, should we change the team name to that, everyone?”
-Demon King’s army birth one step away
-Redok, you crazy bastard, if you even change the name lol
-When formed they were laugh candidates, now they’re balance-breaking lol
-If you’re upset, get Hackphysical coaching~
Jeong Nayeon, true to being a self-proclaimed and publicly acknowledged community specter, nodded saying she saw it too, and Redok chattered about changing the name since it’s come to this.
Of course, it was unknown whether actually changing the team name was possible. Anyway, the team name submission period had already long passed.
Separately from that, it was truly an amusing matter, like one viewer’s chat.
Team All-In, which was treated as laugh candidates after dumping a thousand points on Kang Soyul while everyone else received only unsold bids, was now being called a balance-breaking team.
“So since we’re already being called a Demon King’s army and hearing balance-breaking talk, let’s really beat everyone and win the championship! How about it!”
“That’s it! Championship let’s gooooo!”
“Yes! If you’re in a tournament, you have to win!”
“Good! I agree!” “Of course.” “···G-good···!”
-Championship let’s gooooo
-Since it’s full league, really possible to beat everyone and win
-First beat each one once, then beat whoever comes to finals again for championship
-With Hackphysical, nothing to fear lol
“······.”
“···I’m not a tournament participant though?”
When Redok jumped up and shouted at Kim Jijun’s speech, Kang Soyul and the three great madmen—Dodo, Lee Sihu, and Yoojeu-Yoojeu—responded enthusiastically, raising their hands high.
Baek Woohyun merely nodded without being swept up in their passionate atmosphere, and Jeong Nayeon was still saying things that wouldn’t work, but anyway.
It was the moment when the strongest championship contender and balance-breaking team of the SSR Cup ‘Struggle-Annihilation’ division, the ‘Demon King’s Army’ Team All-In, finally stretched its wings.
