Chapter 26: Chapter 26

After Gawol's victory over Camellia, the community became quite lively.

The assassin who cut down anyone in the field.

A peculiar player who, for some reason, avoided broadcasts and pro scenes, sticking to PK only.

A mysterious female player with a somewhat ambiguous image recently.

Stories about Gawol spread through the ranks of Infinity Black’s Korean players.

There was no way a streamer who focused on game analysis would miss out on such hot news.

Title: Analysis of Gawol’s Second Qualifier Match

User ‘Yurang’ is live.

Yurang, a streamer known for his unique insights, now works as an analyst for a pro team.

Recently, he gained attention for creating a spear-hunter build.

In the pro league, his lack of physical skills held him back, but in the streaming world, even that was a quirk.

Nowadays, he could laugh about it. Though, the culture of his chat getting heated wasn’t quite as amusing.

For some reason, his viewers were particularly rowdy.

Chat:

Here we go, here we go, here we go

Why are you late? Why are you late? Why are you late?

Me

????????????????????????????????????

Rock

Me

Rock

????????????????????????????????????

“Sorry, everyone. I found something during the video review that made me late. Let’s calm down. Since I’m late, I’ll skip the small talk and get straight to it.”

As he spoke, the screen switched to a video of Gawol.

At first, it showed Gawol preparing for battle in the waiting room, with a hint of a smile as if enjoying the moment. The prepared presentation slides then appeared beside her.

“I always say this: In Infinity Black, the build is about 30% of the game. Naturally, we’ll start there.”

There was no need to introduce the complex stuff in detail.

Those kinds of things had long been shared on strategy sites. What people expected from him wasn’t a boring skill lecture.@@novelbin@@

Yurang knew that well.

“First, Camellia. She’s standard, right? ‘Nice to meet you, let’s have a good fight.’ That’s the vibe. The problem is Gawol’s side, and let me tell you, don’t try to imitate this. Only Cerberus uses this build.”

The slides shifted to reveal Gawol’s build.

It was clear at a glance that it took a highly extreme approach.

For someone like Yurang, who played with a focus on stability, it almost seemed reckless.

In Infinity Black, battles rely on movement.

So passive skills are quite effective… but isn’t this a bit too much?

“To sum this up, it’s like saying, ‘I’m good at fighting. Confident. All offense!’ Lots of confidence, right? You can see that mindset clearly in the first match.”

Yurang skipped ahead in the video.

The next point showed Camellia’s spear aiming for Gawol for the first time, which Gawol easily dodged.

“That’s a basic warrior technique—a downward slash. But look at the spear tip's position. It’s precisely aiming for Gawol’s shoulder, isn’t it? Her spacing was perfect. Let me tell you, Camellia did well that day.”

Chat:

Assassins are hard to hit

She struck just within range

“What did that mean? It was just a greeting, like, ‘Hello.’ At the same time, it was testing the waters. Is this person a dodger or a blocker? But right here, Gawol speeds up. Like, ‘How dare you test me?’ She looks a bit taken aback, right?”

Yurang sharply pointed out what Eldorin and Sulbbang had missed.

Camellia’s first attack could have been dodged or blocked.

The only reason for an ineffective attack like that was to assess Gawol as an opponent.

But when Gawol immediately bound the weapon, the match started to tip in her favor.

“I broke this down frame by frame from here. What did I say about Gawol’s build earlier?”

Chat:

I’m good at fighting

I can do it… if it’s me!

“Yeah. She really did fight well. Especially here—climbing up the spear is a work of art, right? Even the dagger positioning is sharp in the midst of this. From this, you can tell she’s got a great sense of body movement.”

Chat:

?

Wow

“To pull off moves like that, you need to have the reflexes. That’s just how it is. You need to know a move is possible even to attempt it. The flexibility she shows here? I’d bet she’s got remarkable athletic skills in real life.”

Yurang moved through the video frame by frame.

At this point, there was no other way for Camellia. The dual daggers detail was solid, simple yet clear—Yurang’s specialty.

But maybe he was too engrossed in his explanation?

His chat had already veered off-topic. Yurang’s jaw dropped as he scanned the comments.

Chat:

???: Gawol’s got a great sense of body movement

LOL

Explain yourself

???: Gawol’s definitely flexible

“Hey, you lunatics! That’s not what I meant!”

Title: Yurang Says, ‘Gawol’s Body Is Very Flexible and Smooth’

Just stating the facts without any malice.

Comments:

Where’s this IP from?

Is this real?

Where did ‘smooth’ even come from? LOL

The battle against Igor (the berserker) was brutal and close, but with her last bit of strength, Luce stood victorious. Even though the fight was exhausting, Luce seemed curious to watch Gawol’s upcoming match.

“Ah, really? Then… I’d love to see it. It’s a rare chance, after all. Let’s watch it together, everyone. Hold on. I’ll ask Sulbbang and Eldorin if we can watch on stream.”
