Chapter 72
‘Guild Section,’ popular for its witty commentary and highly likable panelists, was especially praised among enthusiasts for meticulously covering even lower-tier guilds that were rarely discussed.
Among league analysis channels, it was considered one of the top three programs.
“Chorong, what did you say? Could you repeat that?”
“Of course. At this point, the probability of Mir Guild defeating NG Jaguars is practically zero.”
“Uh-huh-huh-huh….”
Ẃ е ḃ n̊ о́ v el̀ Ė ñ u̇ mа̊
She spoke bluntly, like a woman who doesn’t hold back. Even the veteran host, who had been running Guild Section for twenty years, was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Ugh, Chorong, you’re intense today~ spicy as ever.”

“I never thought those words would come out of Chorong’s mouth.”
“Even in the off-season, you said, ‘Even with that squad, they can get promoted to League 2.’ You all heard that, right?”
“I remember. You even promised to give a gift if the mid controlled by Park Su-bin collapsed by the end of the season.”
What made Lim Chorong’s statement even more shocking was that she had been a fervent supporter of Mir Guild until now.
Е̇nū m̊a .i̇ď
A disciple of Mountain King, Lim Chorong had been an almost religious fan of her mentor and highly praised the guild under his leadership—until today.
Everyone was surprised by her uncharacteristic behavior, but Lim Chorong, as a professional analyst, provided evidence.
“Let me make it clear. My opinion hasn’t changed: by the end of the season, Mir Guild will be in first place. They’ll also be promoted. I still believe they could compete for promotion even if they move up to League 2. So if you continue to treat me like one of those trolls outside, I’ll shove my fist into that shallow mouth of yours.”
“Oops~!”

“Ah, I said too much… (zipping her mouth).”
“Then I’m curious. Chorong, why do you say Mir Guild is bound to lose to NG Jaguars?”
Еn̆ u̇m а̌
“That’s what we’ll talk about today. I guarantee it’ll be extremely interesting. Let’s rewind the clock a bit while looking at the data.”
This was after the shocking 21st-round confrontation, when Lim Chorong watched NG Jaguars’ astonLee Shing performance live.
Naturally, she first praised the younger hunters for their overwhelming skill, but the more she watched, the stranger it felt.
It was like… there was some intention behind NG Jaguars’ squad.
The more she analyzed, the stronger this feeling became.
“…At first, it was just a hunch. As you know, it was the first match so there wasn’t enough evidence.”

But in the 23rd and 25th rounds, she found clues. In both matches, the opponent had been overwhelmingly eliminated without even a chance to breathe.
It was then that Lim Chorong finally understood NG Jaguars’ ‘intent.’
“Let me give you the conclusion first. NG Jaguars’ current confrontation squad was specifically designed as a counter to Mir Guild. And it was meticulously designed by top-level experts.”
“……!”
“……!”
“Now let’s take a closer look at how NG Jaguars’ squad was designed.”
Ӗ n ü m̈а̀
NG Jaguars first chose between Mountain King’s spear and shield, and they went with the spear.
Speed alone had made Yu Rira, the high-speed military-school girl, a terror in the league.

“Yu Rira has flashy offense and stylish gameplay, and at first glance seems flawless, but many experts, including myself, are fairly certain of this: she has definite weaknesses despite her shocking performance.”
“Short attack range, low defense, reckless aggression from inexperience, leading to sudden deaths. And most importantly, guess what?”
“Finally, an opportunity to show my skills to the viewers…”
“Low attack power.”
Е ň u mа
“Yeom Sang-sik!”
“Let me say it first. Many are deceived by her stylish attacks, but surprisingly, Yu Rira’s attack power is weak. The evidence is that most of her kills come from critical hits.”
“Thanks, Yeom. I’ll continue.”
It seemed absurd to call a hunter who achieved two pentakills in half a season weak, but it was true.

Yu Rira had low attack power.
Yet she topped the kill count because of her incredible accuracy and critical-hit ability under overwhelming speed.
Ёǹ u m̈а̄ . і̃d̄
“Peel back the layer, and Yu Rira is actually a high-risk, high-reward AD carry.”
NG Jaguars had prepared specifically to exploit Yu Rira’s weaknesses.
“They overwhelmed her short range with long-range attacks, countered her low attack power with a tanky ranged attacker, and above all, neutralized her speed as the ‘White Reaper’ with targeted attacks.”
On the screen appeared NG Jaguars’ new ADC footage.
Dynamic spear throws twisted at strange angles, hitting enemies like guided missiles.
The panelists were collectively impressed.

“Wow, that looks real. A guided spear… even Yu Rira would be in danger.”
“She won’t dominate the battlefield like before.”
“This can suppress her incredible carry ability. An anti-carry, perhaps?”
“Exactly. That’s what I wanted to say: anti-carry!”
Anti-carry.
Like Yu Rira, NG Jaguars’ counters focused entirely on neutralizing Mir Guild’s carry power.

They matched top-lane bruiser Park Jung-seok with a superior hunter, paired the jungle’s fast, poison-based Lee Hye-jung with an aggressive predator jungler—perfect counters.
Even Mountain King, the flawless commander, couldn’t fully avoid it.

He accurately caught the handicap of not front-lining and ignored it, attaching a defense-focused sitting support to eliminate Yu Rira’s remaining variability.
“But there’s a problem.”
“A team built like that can’t function properly.”
“That’s what I’m curious about. They don’t just face Mir Guild, right? There’s only one round against them!”

“Exactly. That’s why I said, before explaining, that it’s a counter meticulously designed by experts.”
The masterstroke binding such an extreme squad together.
Controversial in ethics and personal life, but undeniable in skill: Dr. Hong.
“His magic can unify a team with extreme tendencies.”

He had also excelled at the EU Olympus Tower, claiming to be a master of magic.
“He has a variety of weapons to remain unshaken by any variable.”

Earth, fire, wind, water—he was an elemental mage.
“And…”
Most importantly:
“We said at the season’s start: Mir Guild’s core is Park Su-bin, and unless that fortress is broken, Mir Guild can’t lose.”
“Dr. Hong can do it.”
Shield breaker.

“A siege engine capable of destroying the fortress called Park Su-bin, which all opponents had tried and failed to breach.”
Astronomical funds, immense manpower, jealousy and malice—all directed solely at Mir Guild.
That was NG Jaguars’ current position.
“Let me say it again. At this rate, Mir Guild cannot beat NG Jaguars.”
Mir Guild CEO’s Office.
On LeeDo Electronics’ new 120-inch TV, a rare broadcast of another guild’s match was playing. It was a showdown video of NG Jaguars.

― “…Since the hunters I recommended started performing, it seems my advice is finally being taken seriously. Lately, So-yul has been asking if there are any good hunters available.”
“So-yul went from ‘Miss So-yul’ to just So-yul, huh, sis? You must’ve gotten pretty close?”

― “Yeah, I was surprised too when So-yul suddenly called me ‘older sister.’”
“But sis, we agreed to speak casually—why are you still using honorifics?”
― “Uh, yes, okay… got it…”
Though Lee Shin’s mouth sounded gentle over the call, his eyes and hands told a different story. He repeatedly pressed the pause and play buttons on the remote while replaying the match in his mind.

“Are you satisfied with the recruits I recommended?”
― “What can I say, they’re insane. Especially Dr. Hong. So-yul really likes him. How did you know his weakness? I heard he was persuaded immediately when you recited it to him?”
“Just hearsay.”
― “Anyway, So-yul is planning to recruit him once the rental ends. That even caused some trouble with the guild who sent him on loan.”

“Don’t get unnecessarily involved, sis. You remember what I taught you, right? Slip away quietly and just test the waters.”
― “Yeah, that’s what I’ll do. It’s too stressful otherwise.”

“Good, smart thinking.”
― “But, you know, I recommended them like you said… are you sure it’s okay? I mean, soon we’ll face your guild in the showdown… ah.”
Lee Shin, busy taking notes, stopped mid-pen stroke as his gaze shifted to the schedule.
Round 29.
<Mir Guild> VS <NG Jaguars Guild>
“It’s fine. Do I look like someone who’s going to get beaten up?”

― “Definitely not.”
“Anyway, thanks for cooperating.”
The call ended with the Korean-style farewell, “Let’s have a meal next time.”
Lee Shin’s wrist bent at a strange angle to cover his face, and he shook his chest as if he could no longer contain himself.
“Kukukukuk…”
He was laughing like a villain behind the scenes.

“A cold city man who orchestrates everything from the shadows and moves the world as he wishes. But warm only to his people.”
A dark, sinister laugh echoed.

Cha Dong-ha, witnessing this absurdity firsthand, let out a deep sigh for the first time in a while.
“Hoo… I really can’t stand seeing him act normally for even a moment.”
Not long ago, the evening Lee Shin had visited the chairman’s mansion, Cha Dong-ha had gone to their usual pork belly restaurant at Lee Shin’s summons.
The moment he entered, he saw that villainous pose from the corner and instinctively knew: This bastard’s madness had flared up again.

Sure enough, Lee Shin began to pull off extraordinary actions the very next day.
“I’ve never seen a guild leader write a scouting report for another guild in my life. And for a guild we’re about to face in the showdown!”
“Kukukukuk…”
“Look, the one you interfered with, Dr. Hong or Um Bok-dong, performing, and destroying the mid-lane of the current 2nd-place <Haetae Guild>. Half of that was thanks to you!”

“Kukukyakyakyak!”
Cha Dong-ha, having gained hardcore experience alongside Lee Shin, no longer asked questions like “Why?” or “What were you thinking?”
W еb̌ ñȯ vеl̄ Ӗň ü m а̌
He could now see the moves coming.
“I understand your intention. This is similar to the secret plotting with guild leaders who invaded ours last year.”
“Oh? You caught on.”
“You said guilds need drama to succeed—heroes, villains, and checks… What was that called? Ah, I remembered, Evil Empire. That’s it, right?”
“Kya, this is why we raise SS-rank talent. Teach once, and they grasp it immediately.”
Legendary Mountain King, world-class prospects Park Su-bin and Yu Rira producing dazzling performance and overwhelming results.

And Lee Shin, becoming a fully-fledged genius leader through various projects.
No one could deny that the current massive popularity of League 3 was thanks to <Mir Guild>.
However, as mentioned before, the public gets bored easily.
“Shock!”, “Astonishment!”, “Overwhelming!”—these exclamations are effective only once or twice; repeated exposure dulls the effect and causes fatigue.
Evidence of this was the slight decline in League 3’s popularity since the offseason began.
Cha Dong-ha had thought this issue would eventually need solving. At this moment, he learned of their secret plotting.
Ẁ е̊ḃ ñ оv̈ е̂ ĺ Ĕnum а̄
It felt like bells ringing from the heavens.
Yes, this is it. Using these guys, a pretty interesting scenario could be created.

“Evil Empire Season 2!”
“You really have no limits…”
In that brief moment, Lee Shin decided to combine and solve this issue.
Cha Dong-ha looked at him as if staring at a monster, impressed by his instant reflexes.

“Good. Lift the dull atmosphere, create drama, and drive the league’s popularity. Sounds good, but isn’t it a bit too much? Look at their performance.”
“They’re good, no doubt.”
“Not just good! This is insane!”
On the 120-inch screen, NG Jaguars were crushing their opponents with relentless pressure, as if showing the gap between League 2 and League 3.

At the center of it all was Dr. Hong, recommended by Lee Shin.
“So there is a solution, right?”

The LeeDo Derby had stakes far beyond just points.
Cha Dong-ha’s anxious question met Lee Shin’s eyebrow, drawing a confident arc.
“Of course.”
Time passed and before long, the day of the 29th Round showdown had arrived.
