A little while before game 3 started.
"and… … Wouldn't it be better to lose three games?"
Coach Davis gathered the players together and talked about this game.
"Go, Director… … ."
"They boasted that they would execute the holy player. There must be some kind of trick in the game 5 map. 50% chance, it can take as long as you want. The fate of humanity should not be left to the toss of a coin."
"Then you will lose in the end… … ."
"yes. But losing doesn't mean people die. "Particularly those who are strong will survive."
For humanity, Sheng Zhihan now accounted for more than 50% of the power.
In addition to serving as an important card in the Space League.
Earning points for humanity on a regular basis also accounts for a significant portion.
"50 percent chance, it's unsettling."
"It seems like a skilled player would be able to overcome the elves' moves, but… … ."
"is it so. "Didn't you solve the brainwashing of the king of the beginning of the Constellation?"
The national team players believed that even if they were truly unlucky and had to go to five games, Seong Ji-han would be able to solve the problem.
"Is there any need to take the risk?"
"If a famous athlete is executed, only a terrible ending awaits humanity."
"I agree with the director's policy. Don't you remember the last game against the Joiners? Since we didn't have any good players, we lost to the 20th ranked team in the league. "It's better to just lose one game."
Still, in order to avoid even one possibility, the players generally agreed with the coach's opinion.
"Even a sacred player… … Are you okay?"
And Director Davis asks the person concerned for their opinion.
This strategy was designed to save Seong Ji-han.
His attitude was cautious because if he said he wanted to leave, there was no stopping him.
Seong Ji-han listened to this in silence and then asked him a question.
"How do you plan to lose?"
"I had the second-team players practice in advance. "I will commit suicide with a poisoned dagger."
"ah… … ."
The national team players were impressed by Coach Davis.
After all, being the coach of the human race is not something that just anyone can do.
When did you prepare for something like that?
"It's suicide… … ."
"Is there something on your mind?"
As Seong Ji-han trailed off, Director Davis watched him with anxious eyes.
"no. "Please do so."
Seong Ji-han immediately nodded and expressed his consent.
Actually, I wondered if the World Tree elf would just let him commit suicide so calmly.
'Rather, it might be better for me to fail. If we start losing here, it will be difficult for humanity to accumulate enough points to be promoted from the Bronze League.'
Seong Ji-han thought it was okay even if things failed.
Anyway, no matter what they planned in the 5th game, I was confident that I would overcome it.
and.
"all right!"
Director Davis' face brightened at Seong Ji-han's answer.
It was as if the final decision was made after the coach received permission from the player, Seong Ji-han.
The coaching staff and players watching took this for granted.
'Whether it is the Korean national team or the human national team, the importance of the sacred place is absolute.'
'Because he's a player above the coach.'
The three games started as planned.
At first, the game seemed to be going as Coach Davis intended.
Flash! Flash!
Of the 50 players who participated in this game, most of them started logging out.
-no… … What is this?
-Why is Seong Ji-han not appearing and committing suicide?
-Director, did you really throw the game?
-ah! It seems like they are telling us not to go to 5 games; If you are unlucky there, you may be executed.
-aha… … It is better to be defeated than to die.
-But every time I face a world tree elf, I lose like this, it's too easy... … .
-Before that, we need to build up our strength and win in situations like game 1 or 2.
Viewers who were initially puzzled by the suicide of the human race team quickly understood the situation and supported it.
"this… … Are you going to commit suicide?"
An elf quickly flew towards the human camp and rushed towards the warrior who had not yet died.
"I can't leave it like that."
Then the elf opened his inventory and took out a leaf.
He fed it straight to the surviving human warriors.
"Ugh… … ."
Then, a human warrior whose poisonous wound quickly heals.
The elf looked at that and smiled brightly.
"We commit suicide."
He stabbed himself in the neck with the wooden sword he was holding.
Sigh!
Then, the sword pierced the elf.
Shuuu… … .
The elf's entire body split apart and disappeared into dust.
-Wow, what is elf speed??
-The map was too small... … I was caught committing suicide too quickly.
-No, but it's creepy that they found out right away and they died haha.
-Eat the leaves and watch them die ㅡㅡ
And the elves' suicide parade begins with him at the head.
Sigh! Sigh!
The elves who were running toward the human camp stopped when the leader elf committed suicide.
He took out a wooden sword and stabbed himself.
=Ah. What kind of scene is this? … !
=Is there such a strange game? Game 3, players on both sides commit suicide... … !
= Yes, only one person survives. There is no other player than Nguyen!
=Humanity wins game 3!
=If this happens, you will automatically be selected as the MVP of the 3rd game... … However, the player himself is shaking his head as if he has no shame.
=I had no choice! The elves died too quickly!
Because the elves committed suicide in an instant, humanity won three games in the blink of an eye.
Coach Davis' face distorted when he saw this result.
"Crazy elves… … !"
What on earth did they prepare for the 5th game to commit suicide so neatly?
There.
"That crazy regenerative power that elves have… … Why didn't it apply this time?!"
"I saw earlier that he only committed suicide with a wooden sword. "Maybe that has something to do with it?"
"I think so. The wizards also took out small wooden swords from their inventory and appeared to stab themselves in the neck... … ."
"Whoa, that's really gross!"
Director Davis sighed deeply.
I tried to save humanity's greatest power, Seong Ji-han, even if it meant defeat through suicide.
Looking at the results of the 3rd game, it seemed like they would win the 4th game as well.
"In the 4th game, better than Elf… … "Couldn't you commit suicide sooner?"
"… … "I will try my best."
Let's die quickly somehow.
The human national team thought so, so they selected only the players with the lowest physical strength, mainly the wizard line, and sent them to four games.
=Game 4 begins!
=This map is a dungeon map! 'Seven caves'. This map... …
Before the start of game 4, the commentators were trying to explain the map.
[The opposing race 'World Tree Elf 200' has been annihilated.]
[The race 'Humanity' won 4 games.]
[Game 4 ends.]
As I watched the game end in an instant, I was speechless for a moment.
=4 games… … It took less than a minute!
=… … Of all the games I've commented on, I've never seen one that ended as quickly as this one.
=I thought the 3rd game was the best ever, but the 4th game renews that.
A super-fast space league game that lasted less than 10 minutes for games 3 and 4 combined.
-It's crazy today, really haha, seeing people commit suicide because they're going to lose in the Space League.
-Oh, I just ordered chicken, but isn't it going to be over before I get there?
-There are 5 games left. That's the main dish.
-Ugh, nothing special happened in the 5th game... … There won't be any, right?
-The elves may have set a trap, but Seong Ji-han will solve it... … .
The 5th game that humanity had tried to avoid going to the point of committing suicide was approaching.
* * *
The Space League's director's office.
The coaches of both teams were summoned there for the five-game ban pick.
"Hehe. Director, you really used your brain. "We almost won, right?"
The elf high priest looked at Davis with a smile on his lips.
"It's not like there hasn't been a race that uses this kind of strategy. "In the middle or later stages of the league, races give up the game because they don't want to be executed by our World Tree Elves."
"… … "It wasn't just us."
"is it so. If everyone runs a league, they know the topic. Let's just lose quickly rather than having to go to five games and get executed. And we... … He shows mercy. Finishing the game in 3 games. but."
Grinning.
The elf high priest had a smile on his face.
"But humanity. You guys are different. You executed the elves and even sacrificed the great Go-Elf... … "All members of the World Tree Elf Alliance will wipe out humanity."
"under. In reality, it's just that you tried to execute us and ended up getting it back! Go elf? "He attacked first himself!"
Director Davis raised his voice and refuted the elf high priest's words.
The elf's smile grew brighter.
"Hehe… … The weak did not know the topic. That is the biggest sin. "Today, let's start with 'him' who is number one in the rankings."
The elf then takes out the selected cards he had collected.
Not to be outdone, Coach Davis also took out all of his selection cards.
OK.
[Representatives of both races collected all selection cards.]
[Map selection is randomly assigned to one of two races.]
Jiiiing… … .
On the table, a huge silver coin fell from thin air.
Tuk. Tuk.
When it hits the table, the coin bounces loudly and spins around.
A human was depicted on one side and a tree on the other.
-Are you sure this is going to be won with coins?
-Are the trees the elves and the humans us? … .
-After the suicide show, there is a coin draw at the end... … ㅡㅡ
-Oh, please human come out!
The viewers, with one heart and one mind, hoped that a human would emerge from the coin.
widely.
What floats on the top of the coin that lands on the table.
"Hehe, as expected."
It was a tree.
Flash!
When the tree rose, the select card in front of humanity disappeared, and the elf's card remained on the table.
"Ugh… … !"
"Then, at least say goodbye to your number one ranking. "Humanity will soon follow."
The high priest smiled and played with the select card.
Director Davis sat down in his seat with a devastated face.
Two directors with a stark contrast between light and dark.
Commentators also sighed when they saw this.
=Ah… … Lady Luck ignores Director Davis this time!
=World Tree Elf… … They also have a sense of kinship with other World Tree elves. Are they really all on the same side?
=It is also significant that the High Priest mentioned the middle and latter half of the league. It seemed like this wasn't the first time they had participated in the Space League.
=Is this kind of race even allowed to exist in Bronze?!
=I'm worried about what kind of map they'll bring out from over there… … .
and.
"Using the select card, I will select the game map 'Constellation Research Institute.'"
The High Priest took out the map he had prepared.
[The 'Constellation Research Institute' map is a map with special settings.]
[Do you want to load all settings?]
[4 select cards are required.]
"yes."
In response to the high priest's reply, information on the emerging Constellation Research Institute map.
[Conditions of admission to the Holy See Institute.]
[Only those ranked 1st in the race can participate.]
Coach Davis swallowed his sleep after seeing these conditions.
"Only first place… … ."
"Please consider it an honor. It is no place for a species like humanity. Originally. However, since your first place is so special that it transcends species, we have prepared a stage worthy of it."
Anyway, now that I have been summoned to the Constellation Research Institute, humanity's #1 ranking is over.
The high priest was so confident.
and.
"It's a constellation research institute… … ."
Seong Ji-han smiled brightly as he looked at the map name in the waiting room.
"uncle… … ! How to. "It looks like they planned and prepared!"
"It's actually better, isn't it? "The name of the map looks like there's a lot to loot."
"Hey, looting?"
"huh. I will come back. "See you later."
He waved lightly to the players who were looking at him with concern, and then played in his first Space League game in five games.
