Got matched with some crazy bitch in Arena and had to deal with this shit the whole game

Push me down when I climb up, push me down when I climb up, push me down when I climb up, push me down when I climb up

If I try to clear the undead first, she hits me from behind and runs away

Felt like I’d go insane if I continued, so I just cursed and left

But looking at the reaction, it seems the translation didn’t work

I’m having a reality check about this game

Seriously, buff the Guardian if you don’t want it to die

– Lol, got abused for over 10 minutes

– That kick to the back of the head is so infuriating

– But how did you not land a single hit? What’s your tier?

What do I mean?

This crazy bitch tied me up with chains and kept steeping me in the sea until I died

At first I thought about surrendering and leaving

But I got curious about how far she’d go, so I just stayed

In the end, I died from suffocation due to the chains

The opponent was an assassin, probably an American

They’re the only ones who steep tea in seawater

But how do you read this nickname?

It doesn’t seem to be English

[Comments]

– Looks like some Asian script

– Your expression looks like you’ve seen it all, it’s hilarious lololol

– It’s Korean, it says “Gawol”
└ What does that mean?
└ Don’t know, only the creator would know

– Isn’t this the same person from the Guardian abuse video earlier?

[Title: Thinking of changing class, looking for recommendations]

(Attached video)

I met an assassin in the Hall of Shadows, and I was a berserker?

I lost without landing a single hit

I felt humiliated until the moment I died

Isn’t this matchup supposed to be in my favor?

Today I felt the limits of my talent

I think I need to look into other classes soon

Is Inquisitor okay?

Only recommend melee DPS, I don’t do coward characters

I won’t do assassin classes either

[Comments]

– Just git gud, you’re the one who sucked
└ Go whine somewhere else, you whore
└ Vodka123/Vodka
└ OK, come at me bro

– I’ve been seeing this person’s videos often lately

– This one got executed

……

– I lost, brother
└ I was too harsh with my words too
└ I acknowledge you as a warrior

[Timer 3 – Alarm will ring in 04:32:11]

I queued for Arena as much as time allowed.

It seems the preliminaries are indeed coming to an end, as the level of players has risen considerably.

I wonder if all those who participated just for fun have already been eliminated?

It’s at a point where you can’t survive unless you’re serious about the game.

Only about a day is left for this phase, and the next will be the last of the second preliminaries.

As if determined to leave only the very best, the scale of eliminations is overwhelming. From the next phase, the spectator function will be unlocked… I wonder if that matters to me.

It seemed like the final phase would have really high-level games.

In other words, it still felt a bit lacking.

The opponents I met today weren’t particularly bad.

They all had the basics down, and you could see they had their own strengths.

Still, it’s true that they were far below pro level.

Thanks to that, I did enjoy myself.

[Do you want to craft 100 Blessed Recovery Potions? Y/N]

[Crafting in progress… 16 minutes 39 seconds remaining]

A level of skill where I didn’t feel guilty about trampling them.

At the same time, a gap large enough to allow for any kind of eccentricity.

When these conditions met my turbulent mood… my behavior got a bit excessive.

“Pfft…”

Honestly, how could I not laugh?

Personally, I found it most fun when I hung the archer from the ship.

I thought they might just surrender and leave, but it seems the opponent was curious about my antics too.

I dipped them in the sea dozens of times, but they didn’t leave until they died.

The fortunate point is that most of them were foreigners.

Their nationalities didn’t overlap much either, so they’ll probably just think they met one weird girl and move on.

Originally, skill is something that grows as you get hit, right?

It must have been a good experience for them.

Anyway, my physical condition has worsened, so it’s quite challenging to do PVP now.

My head feels hot and dizzy, so I probably have a slight fever.

I might be able to handle the friends I just met, but if I encountered a pro, I couldn’t guarantee a win.

My score was already safely in the stable zone anyway.

Since it’s come to this, I decided to pass the time with some backlogged life content.

When your body is sick, you need to rest like this sometimes.

[Sigma e-Sports Luche has started streaming!]

Just then, good news came to me.

As soon as I pulled up the broadcast on my screen, the corners of my mouth curled up.

Luche is good because she streams diligently.

Although I often target streamers, that doesn’t mean I don’t watch broadcasts.

Rather, I’m among those who watch a lot.

It’s because playing alone was more boring than I thought.

As long as Infinity Black is an RPG, leveling up and acquiring basic resources must continue.

I usually choose to hunt alone, and repetitive hunting can’t always be enjoyable.

When I start to miss the smell of people, I end up turning on broadcasts like this.

– How do I think the Arena will go? Well, I’m not sure.

– Winning… Of course I want to. My goal is to win, so please keep watching.

– Possibility? Well, it’s a difficult goal, so there’ll be more satisfaction in achieving it, right?

– With the paladin buff, I’m looking at it quite hopefully.

Luche, who started broadcasting, was defeating opponents even more smoothly than before.

In the early days of Arena, her matching luck was really bad, and paladins were too weak back then.

Now that the buff patch has been applied, she’s on a winning streak as if she’s grown wings.

The skill gap is clear with every opponent she catches.

Before, she had to overturn unfavorable matchups, but now the games are one-sided.

Luche seems quite surprised too, as if she didn’t expect it to be this easy.

– The guard gauge has definitely become more solid. At this rate, should I remove a few defensive traits?

– Nerf? Until yesterday, it was the dark ages.

– Who do you want to face in the group stage if you make it to the main tournament? Well, I’d like to avoid my teammates.

– Ah… revenge match. That’s right. I definitely want to seize that opportunity.

Luche’s voice lowered a bit.

Last year. Luche and Sigma e-Sports suffered a bitter defeat to a European pro team in an international tournament.

It was a crushing defeat. They ended the season in the round of 16 without putting up much of a fight.

What was even more devastating for Korean league fans was that her performance was the career high for the Korean league last year.

The Korean league of Infinity Black is powerless in international tournaments.

There were many attempts to analyze the reason.

The direction of pro teams is wrong, the overheated siege scene is the problem, the assassin line is weak, it’s a problem arising from the absolute low population, and so on.

I’m not sure what the real cause is, but it’s clear that it’s not being fixed.

– The Arena survivor list just came out? Well, I guess we can look at the top ranks now.

– Then shall we take a look? I’m curious who we’ll meet too.

– The organized link… Ah, here it is.

Luche stopped queuing.

Because continuing to play wouldn’t change anything.

In the last phase, victory points become meaningless anyway, and her score wasn’t at a level where she needed to worry about elimination.

Continuing to play now would just be like a giant stomping on bugs.

Soon, the broadcast screen changed.

The familiar site banner was the most famous strategy site in Korea.

The post listed pro gamers, famous streamers, and Korean players who were safely in the Arena.

Luche slowly gave her thoughts on the players from the top.

– There are quite a few familiar nicknames.

– It seems like pro gamers will win the Arena in the end… Well, I have similar thoughts.

– In fact, the amount of practice is different from the start. The quality of internal coaching and analysis would be different too.

– But I don’t think pros will definitely win. We don’t know what kind of dark horse might appear.

– Isn’t the charm of e-sports that we can’t predict easily?

She’ll probably only say nice things about most of them.

Luche is quite cautious in her attitude towards others.

It’s not like she’s trash-talking before a match, and badmouthing other players in private would only lead to controversy.

So I wasn’t particularly interested in Luche’s evaluation of pro gamers.

For me right now, pro gamers are just satisfying opponents to beat. Nothing more, nothing less.

The reason I kept listening to the broadcast was… because if she kept scrolling down like that, my nickname would soon appear.

My favorite mentioning my nickname!

This thrilling anticipation.

When the word ‘Gawol’ appeared as the scroll went down like that.

I turned up the volume of the broadcast.

– Gawol is on the list too. And even in the upper ranks.

– That’s amazing. There are really only a few domestic amateurs left.

– I can understand what Traveler said. They must be really strong in one-on-one.

– Come to think of it, they still haven’t accepted Traveler’s friend request, right?

– I wonder if they personally dislike him?

My head tilted as I listened to the broadcast.

Traveler sent me a friend request?

What does that mean?
