Space Warfare

20 wins, 4 losses.

As soon as I got home from school, I started playing ladder matches, crushing opponents with my overwhelming skill.

Even after reaching ladder S rank, I kept playing consistently, and I could feel my opponents getting better little by little, but they were no match for me as my skills improved with each game.

However, I had to reluctantly give up those early rush builds, the kind where the build order is so messed up that anyone would lose.

And if there’s one slightly disappointing thing, it’s that most users in the top tier of the ladder are too kind. No matter what they suffer, they don’t say a word in the chat and just cleanly GG and leave.

Even in ladder A, they spew out the most bizarre insults, so how can there be such a big difference with just one rank difference?

In RTS games, beating the crap out of your opponent and getting insulted is more satisfying than any compliment. The opponent’s insults = praise. This is the golden rule in gaming.

Bbibik.

99

This time too, GG came out, and I achieved 3rd place on the ladder. It’s not much different from 1st place on the ladder. At this rate, I can probably get 1st place with about 10 more wins.

‘Let’s see, what time is it now?’

It’s still 11 PM. Then I think I can definitely hit 1st place on the ladder today and sleep well.

I immediately started matchmaking.

,I’ve met him.”

Lee Young-oh, seeing the [Amputee] nickname on the broadcast screen, stretched his body greatly, closed his eyes, and began meditating.

I wanted to meet him again.

Last time, I unfortunately couldn’t do more because of the match. And since then, I’ve wanted to meet him again, but since the opponents you meet on the ladder are random, I haven’t been able to meet him.

But finally, I’ve met him.

-Oh, it’s [Amputee], the anonymous monster

-Wow, crazy, [Amputee] is so good these days

-Every time I see him on the broadcast these days, it seems like his skills are improving more and more

-ㄷㄷ

-Crazy, is this a prelude to the end?

-[Amputee] is definitely an AI

,I’m going to focus without looking at the chat or making comments.”

Lee Young-oh.

In Space Warfare 5, he is so skilled that he has an overwhelming performance and a win rate of nearly 80% even in the world of pros, so he is nicknamed God Young-oh because his skills are like a god.

Space Warfare 5 has lost its official pro tournaments, but he has won 4 consecutive individual leagues hosted by broadcasting platforms and has won 8 out of a total of 18 individual leagues, showing his insane skills.

The fact that Lee Young-oh is seriously engaging in a match with [Amputee] proves how strong [Amputee] is.

The first game was a smooth start for both of them.

[Amputee] and Lee Young-oh both went smoothly without excluding anything.

A stance of eating everything they can.

That start felt boring to the viewers.

But Arang and Lee Young-oh were different.

They already knew each other’s skills to some extent. They were preparing to just fight head-on without looking at each other, as a way to warm up.

After scouting each other’s main bases and confirming that they were starting richly, they felt it without talking or chatting.

Let’s have a proper head-on fight.

And from the moment it hit 6 minutes, the fight began.

Due to the characteristics of the race, Arang was the first to attack.

Among the monster units, there is a unit that flies in the sky and attacks by bouncing three times. The strategy is to pick that unit at 6 minutes and harass the opponent to buy time.

Depending on the situation, it’s not just about buying time, but also a build that can continuously pick that unit and collapse the opponent as is, and various situations come out depending on the user’s control.

Lee Young-oh had already grasped all of Arang’s strategies, so Lee Young-oh built the best optimization and the best defense towers he could think of.

Arang’s Mura-ri arrived exactly at the time Lee Young-oh was thinking, and the fight broke out.

Arang’s Mura-ri tried to inflict as much damage as possible on Lee Young-oh, and Lee Young-oh tried to block it with as little damage as possible.

‘He’s much better than last time…!’

Lee Young-oh was slightly taken aback by Arang’s harassment that didn’t stop for even 0.1 seconds.

No matter how fast multitasking is, there is bound to be a slight gap. But the fact that he’s harassing continuously without that gap means that he’s only looking at this harassment right now.

‘If I make even a slight mistake, I’ll collapse.’

Mura-ri that keeps increasing.

Lee Young-oh realized that Arang was not simply ending with harassment, but attacking to destroy him as is, and began to consume resources mainly on building defense towers and troops.

Up to this point, it was a tense tug-of-war.

A fight where whoever loses concentration first loses.

Viewers were enthusiastic about the fight that didn’t give way to each other and didn’t stop.

-The Mura-ri control is really crazy?

-How can he not make a single mistake? It’s always one-shot one-kill?

-I’ve never seen him make a mistake. ㄷㄷ

-Lee Young-oh is crazy for blocking that in the meantime ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, crazy

Something else suddenly intervened in the tense tug-of-war.

It’s another Mura-ri.

A certain number of Mura-ri each began to attack from different places.

-Oh, two-location control, isn’t that the control that Lee Je-do used to do?

-I was shocked when I first saw that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is he doing that control that Lee Je-do would only do when his condition was at its best during his prime?

-Is this anonymous Zerg Lee Je-do?

-No, no, Lee Je-do also played against anonymous Zerg

-Ah, really?

Viewers are simply thinking of it as two-location control, but Lee Young-oh realized that the two-location control that Arang is showing is not simply explained by control.

Usually in Space Warfare 5, you can control units all at once, but when controlling two groups of units that are divided, there is a delay of about 0.1 seconds, no matter how fast you are.

This is natural for a human. It is impossible for one person to have two thoughts and give two different commands.

But now, the Mura-ri of the two groups are harassing the main base and the front yard without even a 0.1-second difference.

No matter how fast Lee Young-oh multitasks, he takes a little time, but Arang’s Mura-ri was attacking like crazy in each place without that.

In that very short time, Lee Young-oh’s losses began to accumulate little by little.

As his troops were whittled down like that, Arang’s Mura-ri gathered in one place and annihilated all of Lee Young-oh’s remaining troops, and Lee Young-oh immediately GGed.

‘What the hell just happened…?’

It felt like two people were controlling it at the same time. It was impossible to control it without that.

‘There was a mode where two people could play in Space Warfare. But that’s a custom map, and this is a ladder? Is there a bug? No, there hasn’t been a single one so far. That’s impossible… What the hell is it?’

Lee Young-oh turned it on again to meet Arang again, but he met another opponent, immediately left that game, and turned on the replay he had just played with Arang.

==

,Yay~”

I cheered as soon as I won the ladder match against the [FlaSh] user.

,It works?”

Just now. I tried out something I was thinking about at school today.

It’s the dual personality skill.

Space Warfare can basically be controlled with gestures and words, but the thoughts that come to mind are very important.

Because the command must be transmitted from that thought in your head to your mouth and hands for your mouth to open and speak and your hands to gesture.

Usually, people give simple commands to the battlefield screen and units with their hands and give detailed commands with gestures.

But I thought, what if you had two thoughts and expressed one thought with words and one thought with gestures?

It’s absolutely impossible for ordinary people, but I thought it was possible.

Why?

Because I used to have two personalities. To be exact, two personalities have fused into one person, but under certain conditions, they return to two personalities again.

In the past, my personality was active in the virtual world, and Arang’s personality was active in reality, but now they have fused a lot, so whether it’s my personality or Arang’s personality, they have just become one, but under one condition, that personality is slightly separated.

When is that? It’s when I have my period.

Due to menstruation, hormones increase, and senses and mind become sensitive, and Arang’s spirit appears as if it is rising to the surface, as in the past.

At that time, my mind weakens slightly, and I act cute and cry easily, and I really change to be like a child, not like a man.

Surprisingly, I am in a very sensitive state because my period is just around the corner.

So I thought, should I intentionally try to have different thoughts? And I just did it, and it worked.

I don’t know why this works.

I just had two thoughts and played.

It’s not like we’re talking together with different personalities, it’s just a feeling that we can have different thoughts. It’s like having two brains.

‘This is so OP?’

The downside is that it might be a skill that can only be used during menstruation. Of course, it’s not accurate, but I think it’s worth trying again after my period is over.
