I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work - Chapter 93.1

After winning the second round in a row, almost no one on Youngun’s broadcast was speaking properly.

“… No.”

Even Youngun himself was speechless.

He thought that after taking the red pill that his play style wasn’t suited for Combative at all, he could either seriously commit or show a crack play or two.

But he didn’t expect her to crack the round itself.

At this point, it wasn’t a crack, but a crevasse.

Magia got 3 kills in both rounds, and when I say 3 kills, I mean she did it all by herself without any help from her teammates.

It was different from a normal 3 kills.

What about the chat?

They seemed to have forgotten that they had ridiculed Magia and were now busy criticizing the coach.

— The coach was a moron.

— This is just Youngun’s fault.

—No, she’s just flying around since the leash was taken off? lol

— Why did you muzzle her lol

:: Anonymous donor sponsored 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: Sigh… How can a team function properly when the coach doesn’t even know the players and coaches them ::

— True lol

— Why is this true?

— Why is this real?

— lol

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t upset, but it was also true that Youngun didn’t have high expectations for Magia.

After all, Combative and Battle Colosseum were two very different games.

Even Magia was aware of that.

She said herself that she mainly practiced Smoker with an AR and smoke ability because she wanted to help the team.

‘If you’re so good at using smoke, you should have said so from the beginning…’

But this happened because Youngun, a former pro, didn’t understand Magia’s mindset.

Breaking the entire game with one crack to win was too difficult for someone who believed in the standardized play and snowballing of a pro.

Youngun didn’t even know Magia until right before they became a team.

He couldn’t attend the year-end party where Magia was mentioned a lot because of a family event, so how could he know?

It would have been different if Dohee was the coach.

She would have immediately understood Magia’s tendency to blend in and immediately come up with an analysis like, ‘She’s playing Smoker because she can’t give up smoke while still being dedicated to the team. Let’s just let her do whatever she wants.’

“I’m going crazy. How can a person change so much just by giving up one smoke?”

– To be exact, it’s smoke and shotgun.

– That’s right.

– You didn’t let her shoot the mini-barrel lol

“Ah. That’s right. Shotgun included. No. Still. Geez.”

Still, there’s a reason why Youngun is the coach.

Even though the chat was full of ridicule towards him, he was only looking at how the team could win.

After all, he took on the role of coach for this tournament because he wanted to win with Serena.

‘It might be easy to win the first two rounds, but that’s not enough.’

In the early game, Magia had definitely shown that she could crack the game with smoke + mini-barrel in the pistol fights in the first 1-2 rounds. But you can’t use the same strategy every time.

Once you show it even once in scrims, every team will start preparing for it.

Where will Magia try next?

What if they get through?

How should we change the layout next time?

The very fact that these thoughts are imprinted in the players’ minds is effective.

But there needs to be a stronger shock to break the enemy’s head.

In other words, Magia’s crack play can’t stop here.

‘If we can keep this shock going into the next round…’

From the third round, when at least one person has a primary weapon, regardless of the outcome of the previous round, even Magia with smoke can be taken down by a normal burst fire that grazes the head line.

But that common perception is also an opportunity.

If Magia shows something even in this situation, the weakest team with 0 wins and 22 losses, which was treated as a tonic, can suddenly make all teams feel uneasy.

‘Let’s go. Show me something more…!’

Meanwhile, the third round begins.

Magia immediately bought a good AR with the money she had saved.

— ?

—

— What

— I thought she was going to use a shotgun?

The viewers’ question was also Youngun’s question.

Why an AR?

It wasn’t even the gun that Magia usually used.

It was the assault rifle that was always there when Bajubi, who was in charge of infiltration, threw a flashbang and jumped in, often rolling the dice.

And the reason was soon revealed.

She wasn’t buying a gun for Bajubi, who had O kills, and handing it to him?

[Jubi, you used to shoot well when you held this. Use this.]

[…?…Man………….De!]

[It’s okay. The mini-barrel is enough for me.]

Didn’t she know that the opponent was now going to bring out their main weapons?

But if she wants Bajubi and Kamik, the two entry players, to have weapons first, then that’s not it?

But why give the gun to that side?

– Isn’t it better to buy for the 1st and 2nd tiers first? Hmm

– No, Kamik and Serena have already saved up enough money to buy their own guns.

– Still, I don’t think it’ll be efficient.

Serena also had that question, so she asked Magia.

[Um… Jia, are you not going to rush this time?]

[I need to rest sometimes too.]

Magia gave a surprisingly plausible answer, but.

The reason why Youngun, who was watching, tilted his head was probably because Youngun also knew Magia to some extent now.

“… What’s wrong? This isn’t like her?”

Isn’t she like a ghost who died because she couldn’t rush?

The number one reason why Magia, who was doing well, kept falling was her rush.

Is Magia taking a step back?

Magia’s intention, which was hard to understand, was soon revealed directly through her mouth.

[I’ll follow Serena’s orders this round. Play like there are 6 smokes.]

[Ah, yes!]

Youngun couldn’t help but cover his mouth.

Magia wanted to play as a team on her own.

And that was the offensive breakthrough strategy they had been practicing.

They lost 22 times during the 3 days of scrims.

Magia was constantly restricted and coaching became increasingly difficult.

It was all to break and destroy Magia’s FPS ego.

Even so, Magia seemed unable to abandon the formula of Battle Colosseum forever.

‘… She realized it.’

But while Youngun was struggling with the player Magia, whom he had never experienced before, and couldn’t give up the perfect picture of his pro days.

Magia found a way to adapt to Combative while maintaining her ego.

And that was the way that best suited the team.

She’s a Battle Colosseum user, so she can’t completely melt into Combative.

But she’s going to use even this as a benefit to the team.

…That’s what she declared in the conversation she just had with Serena.

That’s how it was born.

Winning the first two rounds with a rush and then resting for one round.

A strategy like this that the old Magia would never have thought of.

In a way, it looks like a boast, like ‘I’ve had enough fun, so I’ll play normally for once’.

But that’s not it.

It’s definitely a psychological warfare.

What state is the opponent in right now?

Aren’t they worried that Magia will suddenly pop out from somewhere?

Naturally, a tunnel effect occurs, so they focus on catching the one person who suddenly pops out, and they don’t think about the team that’s rushing in at once.

They can’t use the very basic defensive strategy of Combative, which is to retreat and preserve numbers when the enemy is rushing in.

If they try to stop five people from rushing in and two of them get cut off?

The round is as good as over.

As expected.

[Two with flashbangs, three going in. One, two, three!]

As the team members rushed in at once according to Serena’s order, two of the enemies desperately engaged in combat and were immediately knocked down.

As I said, if they don’t make mistakes, this team plays the game quite well.

Even Magia calmly followed Serena’s orders.

Of course, as soon as the situation became 5:3 and Youngun’s team had the advantage, Magia moved again.

Why would Magia stay still when they’re herding rabbits?

She immediately ran through the middle to cut off the enemy who was coming to defend from B.

Pshhh.

Smoke screens were laid down in succession, and then the news of victory was heard in succession.

{{Magia >> (head) (mini-barrel) Su-bak-jeon-gol }}

It would be a win if Magia just traded kills and died.

Maybe it’s because the enemy was already on the defensive, but they didn’t even respond properly.

Even if they were the 1st and 2nd tiers of the Gongsadamang team, players who were said to be good at shooting.

{{Magia >> (head) (mini-barrel) Jin-sam }}

{{ The bomb has been planted!}}

– Crazy

– Wow

– No lol

– So good lol

– Kyaaaaa

– No, just give her smoke and a shotgun lol

– The installation point is so perfect lol

– Crazy Dae-jia lol

– Why didn’t you do this when you could have!!!

– Let’s beat up Youngun first?

-The coach is the problem.

Listening to the pouring criticism, Youngun also realizes.

That even though he was one of the shining players in his active days, he wasn’t a good coach. ‘Suppressing them wasn’t the answer.’

People aren’t machines. How can they only do what they’re told?

In the end, the coach needs to adapt to each member in order to lead the entire team.
