DEFEAT

On the screen flashing that horrific word "Defeat," Wooseum sharpened the blade of his revenge.

He had let his guard down.

He had figured five Masters would win, no question.

He had been too complacent.

He could do better if they ran it back.

That was what he told himself.

💬 Comments— AnonymousJeonseol pro with 42 kills, 0 deaths, 6 assists? For real?— AnonymousThat nick's value is off the charts.— AnonymousWhat's with desperately turning on Biscod lololol? Need voice chat even against that kid you trash-talked? lololol— AnonymousGot smashed so hard, time for a meltdown.— AnonymousMaster tier's all hype?— AnonymousFor real, what's the diff from Silver or Bronze? lol

Wooseum's life's sole achievement and source of pride—his tier—was under fire, and he started fuming for real.

"Shut your traps, you basement-dwelling trolls."

"Chat ban for below Master."

The one edge he had over his viewers—his tier—he wielded to clamp down.

But to anonymous masses? It fell on deaf ears.

— AnonymousThose Masters got bodied by Jeonseol anyway lol— AnonymousBelow Master can't chat, but you got wrecked too?— AnonymousWorld's first stream where the host can't even chat.— Anonymouslololololololololololololol— AnonymousAlright~ Today we're diving into 'over' vs. 'above', 'under' vs. 'below'~— AnonymousKnock it off, you're gonna make the kid cry.

The endless barrage of mockery cracked his mentality just a bit, and Wooseum began regretting ever firing up the stream today.

There was only one way to salvage this plummeting public sentiment.

Take down Jeon Jeonseol.

Fortunately, intel came in: even after Biscod finished setup, Jeon Jeonseol still hadn't queued up.

Her sky-high normal-game win rate had the matching system adrift, struggling to find a proper opponent.

"Got her!"

In the end, Wooseum's squad nailed the snipe once more.

Revenge match. Round two against Jeon Jeonseol was underway.

This time, they had a pre-planned strategy.

"Prioritize fights and scout Jeon Jeonseol's position."

—"Ooseung hyung! Keep an eye out!"

Start and respawn points: just ten total.

Respawns could overlap, but starting spots had to be unique for all ten players.

Engagement-heavy playstyle would let them pinpoint her location.

—"Not northwest tower."

—"Not right side jungle."

—"No dragon nest."

One minute in: his team cleared nearby neutral monster camps at top speed, dashed to enemy-likely zones, and threw down in skirmishes.

Five ally start points covered. Three enemies spotted.

Just two spots left for Jeon Jeonseol.

Master tier pros needed no further explanation.

They knew every inch of the map from thousands of games.

Naturally, they split into groups of two and three to sweep the final zones.

Pre-game voice chat consensus:

Early game, stick in twos or more. Find Jeon Jeonseol and harass the hell out of her.

The rest of her team—sans her—were worse than punching bags.

Just stifle her growth. That was it.

Their plan seemed airtight at a glance. But...

—"Fuck, why's she dodging everything so well!"

"Gah!"

That only worked after the power balance of two-beats-one was established.

They'd "spotted" Jeon Jeonseol—or so they thought.

In truth, they were the ones spotted.

A frog spotting a hawk can't take it down. A hawk spotting a frog? Easy snack.

"Can't land a single CC! What gives?!"

—"She just dodged good!"

— AnonymousEnemy dodging well or us whiffing? Eternal debate.— AnonymousJeonseol's movement god-tier.— AnonymousDodges everything, lands everything, fuck lol no wonder she never throws.— AnonymousJeon Jeonseol! Jeon Jeonseol! Jeon Jeonseol! Jeon Jeonseol!

Two Masters butchered in seconds.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the back of Wooseum's neck.

This wasn't just a game anymore.

It was a battle for masculine pride.

And the outcome? Already all but sealed.

'Game's already fucked, isn't it?'

The two he'd sent to curb her growth had turned into obedient snacks.

Handing over heaps of gold and EXP in the process.

One fact proven by this fiasco:

Careless or not, Masters were just Jeon Jeonseol's prey.

Even teamed up in pairs.

As the game tipped hard, Wooseum hammered out chats like mad.

Victory was off the table. Time to divert viewer eyes elsewhere.

— AnonymousPathetic interview time lololol— AnonymousGenuinely seems butt-hurt asking that.⭐ Top Comment— AnonymousHost's inner monologue: "Pls say Challenger pls say Challenger pls say Challenger"— AnonymousFor real lol— AnonymousMechanics scream Challenger smurf.

But there was one thing Wooseum didn't know.

Teamfight Arena had patched in a default "ignore all-chat" after users brawled nonstop in chat.

Only players who manually checked "view all-chat" in settings could see enemy team messages.

Newbie Jeon Jeonseol, who hadn't? She only saw her own team's chat.

No reply was coming.

"Arrrgh!"

Instead of words, a sudden gank claimed Wooseum's champion's life.

— AnonymousDid this dude actually just die? Did this dude actually just die? Did this dude actually just die?— AnonymousDying laughing lololololol— AnonymousJeon Jeonseol (delivers) Justice (to deadweight) Squad.— AnonymousWinning with those anchors? Insane.— AnonymousWho calls Team A a team-luck trash game? Just solo 9v1.— AnonymousChallenger #4 lucktrash called it team-luck trash?— AnonymousObviously sarcasm, but some literal-brained moron took it straight lol

Teamfight Arena: team-luck trashfest or skill-based godgame? The forums burned with that debate eternally.

But Jeon Jeonseol left zero room for argument.

She smashed with four deadweights dragging her down. Effortlessly.

Skill-godgame stans pocketed more proof as the five-Master squad ate another brutal loss.

They were eating it.

But one guy refused to swallow defeat—clinging pathetically...

"Look here. These two skills' paths go like this and this, right? Normal human reaction? Flash to dodge. But watch: Jeon Jeonseol just walks between them. Collision barely clips her for that much. Think a human pulls that off?"

TryitTV Wooseum—the man who'd just gotten crushed live—flipped to his final desperation mode: nuclear noob accusation.

Replay on, 0.2x speed. He dissected Jeon Jeonseol's plays, ranting how impossible they were.

"So... helper, right?"

Helper. Literal aide.

Specifically, Teamfight Arena helpers: third-party programs handing unfair edges.

One word? Hack.

Wooseum's two prime suspects for her:

Auto-target: skills auto-home.

Auto-evade: skills auto-dodged.

— AnonymousJust straight-up cracked at the game?— AnonymousPathetic, Wooseum lol— AnonymousInfinity that blind?

Infinity: shorthand for Infinity Games, Teamfight Arena's devs.

Users trusted they'd sniff out hacks eventually. But...

Wooseum pleaded desperately.

"No dev's hack-proof forever. It's hack, patch, hack, patch. And this run? 100% skill hit rate, 90% evade. Non-target skills? Doesn't even graze her."

Perfection. Every hittable skill connected. Every dodgeable one evaded.

Zero human slip-ups—bar unavoidable hits.

Not weird some bought it: "Hmm, smells legit?"

— AnonymousIgnores friend reqs cuz hacker vibes lol— AnonymousLogs off instantly post-game too?

Sensing the tide sneak toward him, Wooseum grinned in relief.

Started as a Hail Mary to save face. But mid-rant? He convinced himself.

'No way that's not a hack. Hitting and dodging that clean?'

Some psych experiment effect by whosits. Whatever.

The fate of hack-smeared Jeon Jeonseol?

To be continued next chapter.
