Chapter 190 : Cup - Demon King
Chapter 190: Cup: Demon King
“Team All-In, fighting!”
“”Fighting!””
-Fighting!
-The undefeated championship team is going out
-The Demon King army raised by Hackphysical is crazy ㄷㄷ
-Show us the power of the solo 1st Emperor!
In truth, even though they’d been called a balance-breaking team or the Demon King army, no one had actually witnessed Team All-In’s true power.
They had only repeated their own training regimen while receiving Baek Woohyun’s unique coaching—the so-called Combat Correction: Hackphysical—and hadn’t played any practice matches.
This situation was due to Baek Woohyun’s directive. He prioritized hammering Combat Correction: Hackphysical into their bodies to raise their foundational skills above all else.
Additionally, it was to prevent any hastily driven wedges from being pulled out during practice matches.
“First, rush to the center quickly! After that, do as planned!”
“Understood!” “Confirmed!”
“…Yes, yes…!”
In fact, even when the community erupted with absurd claims about tier fraud, it wasn’t based on Team All-In’s practice match results.
It was simply because news spread that two Bronze tier players, Dodo and Lee Sihu, could reach Platinum tier within the practice period.
When examined closely, it was quite ridiculous.
Just because high-tier players gathered didn’t guarantee a strong team.
They needed to see team synergy through practice matches. They had to confirm how strategies and tactics would be structured too.
Yet people tried to nitpick mindlessly based solely on the fact that tiers had increased…
No wonder other users reacted negatively to those who seriously argued about tier fraud back then. It all had good reason.
【Finally, the first matchup between Team All-In led by Captain Redok and Team Rainy-Day-Makgeolli-Pajeon led by Captain Bioreu Han! It’s a tense moment!】
【Team All-In, rumored to be the Demon King army but with skills still shrouded in mystery, what kind of performance will they show against Team Rainy-Day-Makgeolli-Pajeon!】
-They seem like they’ll be fucking strong though
-Hackstradamus said complete victory championship ㅅㄱ
-Didn’t Makgeolli-Pajeon do pretty well in practice matches?
-ㅇㅇ Won quite a bit
Anyway, the important thing was that no one knew Team All-In’s true power. Even Team All-In themselves were included in this.
They were aware that their skills had improved greatly—their tiers proved that fact—but they didn’t know what level that represented in the SSR Cup.
Part of this perception was because they hadn’t sought out practice with other teams. That was all handled by their strategically and tactically obsessed director, Enre Kim Jijun, so they didn’t need to worry about other teams.
Team All-In’s members just had to watch their own skills grow rapidly under Baek Woohyun’s coaching. They weren’t relaxed enough to extend their hands elsewhere anyway.
Thus, when Team All-In, the Demon King army, finally revealed their true nature in their first match, first round, first encounter battle.
【Huh?!】
【How is this…?】
-ㅁㅊㅁㅊㅁㅊㅁㅊ
-What the fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㄹㅇ It really is the Demon King army ㅋㅋ Does this even make sense ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-??? : Complete victory championship
The commentators were at a loss for words, and viewers were shocked.
Before such an overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly vast difference in power.
Team All-In, crushing Team Rainy-Day-Makgeolli-Pajeon in one stroke, was truly the Demon King army.
【Total wipe! Makgeolli-Pajeon’s total wipe!】
【Emergency! A catastrophe has occurred!】
In general, team wipes rarely occurred in 5v5 battles unless retreat was impossible and they fought to the death. Somehow one or two people would survive and escape.
Even ordinary team wipes were that difficult, so naturally it was even harder for one team to be unilaterally wiped out in a direct 5v5 clash.
However, when Team All-In and Team Rainy-Day-Makgeolli-Pajeon collided, it was different. Thoughts about team wipes being difficult didn’t even cross anyone’s mind.
Team All-In swept over their opponents like a raging wave, and the enemy team, swept away before they could even say “huh,” met the worst result of a total wipe.
【What’s even more terrifying is that Team All-In had zero deaths in the first encounter battle!】
【Unless there’s an overwhelming gap in power that cannot be bridged between the two teams, this absolutely cannot happen!】
-Are they really crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They just smash right through ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The expressions on the revived Makgeolli-Pajeon members right now are hilarious ㅋㅋ What the hell just hit us ㅇㅈㄹ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The Demon King army’s invasion of the human realm ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
【Demon King army! Team All-In is the true Demon King army! The forces of Demon King Hackstradamus are invading the human realm without restraint!】
Kim Gwangjin raised his voice, invoking Team All-In’s nickname, Demon King army.
The achievement of wiping out the enemy team without a single death in the first encounter battle warranted such acclaim.
Especially in the SSR Cup, where relative skill differences weren’t supposed to be that large.
【The battle structure itself was even. When Team All-In and Team Rainy-Day-Makgeolli-Pajeon clashed here with full force, each side had their own arguments to make】
【That’s right. Moreover, for Makgeolli-Pajeon, they needed to clash once to gauge them. They needed to see how strong their opponents were】
【But Team All-In’s voice was louder. Too loud. When they just went “crush!” Makgeolli-Pajeon couldn’t even argue back and got beaten one-sidedly】
-Crush!!!!!
-Originally fights are won by whoever has the louder voice ㄹㅇ;;
-Getting destroyed while trying to gauge is absurd
-The weight class difference is just ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Watching the brief battle replay footage, Cha Seongcheol calmly analyzed the fight.
While the weight class difference was tremendous, his assessment was that Team All-In also overwhelmed their opponents in aspects like strategy, tactics, and team synergy.
【At the center of Team All-In’s strategy is player Dodo, who was called the Bronze-tier All-Master】
【Ah, this player. I remember the auction. His strength was that you never knew what he’d bring】
【His weakness was that whatever he brought, it was Bronze level, but not anymore. After receiving coaching from Hackphysical, he became a true All-Master】
-An All-Master with only strengths and no weaknesses ㄷㄷ
-He uses anything well, truly a master key
-That’s why during Team All-In’s practice, Enre gave especially many instructions to Dodo
-Being able to execute any strategy, how can you resist ㅋㅋ
Of course, the other players performed just as well as Dodo.
It was just that this strategy was based on the ability build Dodo brought, making him stand out more.
The depth lacking due to increased breadth was filled by Captain Redok along with Lee Sihu, Yoojeu-Yoojeu, and Kang Soyul, so the Demon King army couldn’t help but be strong.
【As for team synergy, what more needs to be said? You might as well say one person is controlling multiple bodies】
-“One person! We need to take down at least one!”
-“We can’t get wiped like this!”
Just then, the replay footage showed Team Rainy-Day-Makgeolli-Pajeon’s last-ditch struggle to somehow eliminate at least one person.
The moment the survivors gave up even protecting themselves and poured all their ability techniques toward Dodo, Team All-In reacted in unison.
Even those who had been attacking elsewhere or trying to protect themselves quickly turned to attempt shielding Dodo.
-Wow ㅁㅊ
-They react and block that
-In annihilation battles, it’s better to share damage moderately than have one person die ㅇㅇ;
-The question is whether you can actually do that ㅋㅋ
If you had eyes, you couldn’t help but see how excellent Team All-In’s synergy was.
They complemented each other like multiple puppets controlled by one person. Believable enough to say they possessed a hive mind.
If so, the Hive Mind above them must surely be named Baek Woohyun.
“……”
Baek Woohyun, watching Team All-In’s performance together with director Enre Kim Jijun and Jeong Nayeon, raised the corners of his mouth in a satisfied smile.
The work he had diligently carved throughout the SSR Cup practice period was displaying overwhelming power before everyone, so he couldn’t help but smile.
He could guarantee that if you had to pick the strongest team in the SSR Cup, it would be Team All-In. Who could defeat a Demon King army full of inferior Hackphysicals?
“Though it’s our team, they’re really terrifying—”
“The strategy they took to the first round worked out quite well. Then for the second round, hmm…”
‘Demon King Army Minion’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[The Demon King army completely destroyed their opponents in the first round! Demon King Hackstradamus-nim! Please share your thoughts!]
“It’s merely a natural result.”
Baek Woohyun, now being called Demon King Hackstradamus—or Hackphysical—by viewers, dismissed the donation in one stroke.
No need to make a fuss. No reason to celebrate victory noisily. This was just as natural a result as the sun rising and setting.
His tone and attitude conveyed this, truly befitting a Demon King leading the Demon King army.
“Didn’t I clearly tell you? Team All-In will achieve complete victory championship.”
-Of course he’d declare complete victory if he’s confident
-I’d be confident too if I raised them like that
-Can totally declare championship without seeing the future ㅇㅇ
-Not for nothing was he chosen as the solo 1st Emperor without even playing practice matches
“They’ll keep winning going forward too.”
‘Hackstradamus’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[“Win”]
Indeed, Baek Woohyun’s bold declaration came true exactly, and Team All-In crushed every team they faced on the first day, rising to the solo first place position.
Victory without dropping a single set. Even the death count of team members was overwhelmingly low enough to count on both hands!
Commentators, viewers, and participants alike were all shocked by the Demon King army’s overwhelming strength.

[General] The Demon King army is really too fierce
[Info] SSR Cup Alliance Performance Summary (Day 4)
[General] If you’re in the same alliance, quickly get coaching from Hackphysical!
However, regardless of what was said in the community, the SSR Cup proceeded without any measures.
In fact, taking action now after Day 1 had already passed would be ridiculous anyway, and hadn’t the other team captains already said it when things burned up before?
Legal hack, legal doping—it’s all bullshit. This is part of the tournament too, and being the underdog doesn’t mean you can’t win. Things like that.
Whether they’d maintain the same feelings facing the Demon King army that revealed its fierce demonic aura was uncertain, but anyway, the Demon King army controversy was already a settled matter from back then.
【They’re strong! Really too strong! Team All-In!】
【Even the Returned Legend doesn’t want to end the finals this easily! They want to win at least once!】
Therefore.
On Day 2, Team All-In still trampled all other teams to set the SSR Cup’s first—though it was the first tournament!—perfect league record with complete victory.
Followed by Day 3, when they crushed Team ‘Returned Legend,’ who had clawed their way up to the finals after their full league defeat.
The record of the SSR Cup’s first complete victory championship was content already ordained by the unprecedented prophet called Hackstradamus who appeared like a comet.
“Wooooooo—!”
“Let’s go!” “This is it!”
【Team All-In! Complete victory! Undefeated! They finally claim the ‘Struggle-Annihilation’ division championship under the name of the strongest!】
【The Demon King army’s invasion has swept through the human realm. Incredible. When will we see such a strong team in any event tournament going forward?】
【Unless the Demon King appears again to gather his forces, it will be impossible】
-All-in on one coach and got complete victory championship ㅋㅋ
-The team name isn’t All-In for nothing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-When Hackphysical coaches, a 1st Emperor is just born
-A coach but has more presence than players ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
