The GOAT of Entertainment

 

The studio where the auction was taking place.

At that location, MCK pro team coaches were sitting in chairs, racking their brains and making plans.

They were deeply contemplating who to pick as their main player and how to select supporting team members to create a harmonious team.

Plus, the newly added rules for this first joint tournament between the two platforms gave them quite a headache.

“Hah… Hyun-tae, who are you going to pick?”

Amid the silence and sighs of the coaches, a deep voice was heard asking the man next to him casually.

“Why? Will you give up if I tell you?”

The man called Hyun-tae answered in a prickly voice, indicating he wouldn’t give any information about his plans to the person addressing him.

If one were to ask whether it’s okay to be so prickly to a fellow pro team coach?

“Tsk. So petty.”

For the man who just clicked his tongue, one could say it’s perfectly fine.

The name of the man who called Hyun-tae was Kim Ma-gyun.

He was the coach of the team that placed second in the MCK Spring tournament this year.

Unfortunately, in the Summer tournament, they finished sixth due to the poor condition of the players.

He was sitting here after narrowly losing in the MOL Cup Wild Ticket match.

Ma-gyun looked around at the coaches in the same industry, rolling his eyes as he recalled the plans he had devised.

 

Hold out until Lucy appears.

Bid all points when Lucy comes out.

 

A truly simple plan.

Other coaches were probably also aiming for Lucy, but…

‘Fuck. Going all in with 1000 points…’

Kim Ma-gyun wanted to guide Lucy’s play just once.

While Ma-gyun was passing on other lots with the reverent heart of a monk in training, waiting for Lucy to appear.

“Wow! This person has come out very quickly…!!”

“I cautiously predict that the coaches’ points will be greatly depleted here…”

Along with the commentator and caster’s ominous reactions in the studio.

“Lane is top! Solo rank is… 1st place. The lot coming out now is Lucy!!”

Lucy, whom Ma-gyun had been eagerly waiting for, came out as a lot.

♦♦♦

[Who Will I Be Sold To]

“Oh… it’s me.”

─ Wow, that’s really exciting lolol

─ Look at those coaches’ butts wiggling

─ Isn’t it already confirmed that the team that gets Lucy will win?

─ For real lolol just enjoy the chemistry of the people who end up on Lucy’s team

While I was leisurely communicating with viewers and watching the auction process, when I came up as a lot, the chat speed increased tremendously.

Well-I’m not being conceited, but… it’s confirmed that the team I’m on will win… yes.

I was watching the broadcast, hoping that good people would be picked as my teammates.

[Wow… the points keep going up! It’s broken 600!]

“Hmhm..”

─ Look at this girl enjoying it

─ Honestly, if I were Lucy, I’d be excited too. MCK coaches are really courting Lucy

─ Wow it just passed 700

─ The previous lots were kind of pitiful lolol just because Lucy hadn’t appeared yet, tsk tsk

My value had risen to 700 and started slowing down as it was about to exceed 800.

Just as I was thinking I would be sold at the latest bid of 820 points.

[“Nine hundred!!”]

A resounding voice from the side-streamed broadcast.

─ Crazy guy

─ Is he really putting in 900?

─ Is he planning to fill the rest with failed bids?

─ Ma-gyun… fuck, this isn’t right, you bastard!

[Ah.. Coach Kim Ma-gyun has called 900. Anyone else? Then I’ll count down.]

Danso started counting after the bid from the man called Kim Ma-gyun.

[3……2……1. Bang·Bang·Bang─ With this, Lucy has been appointed as the first player on Coach Kim Ma-gyun’s team for 900 points!!]

[Wow… this means Coach Kim Ma-gyun only has 100 points left… what are your thoughts on how he plans to form a team…?]

After the long three seconds passed, I ended up on the team of the person called Kim Ma-gyun.

“Hmhm..”

900 points… it’s a bit disappointing. I was hoping to be called for 1000 points since there were several coaches who hadn’t spent any points yet.

I’m a woman worth that much, you know. Yes… but

─ Ma-gyun is a fucking crazy bastard

─ Where’s the guy who told him to bid 900 instead of 600?

─ Is Ma-gyun a Lucy stan?

─ lolololol I’m suspicious too.

The viewers’ reactions were quite different from what I had expected.

I thought they would cheer and congratulate me for being called at 900…

So I expressed my curiosity about their reaction of cursing Ma-gyun, who had bought Lucy for 100 points cheaper than the proper price.

LucyHacker has donated 100000 won.

[Are you stupid? If Ma-gyun blows all his points on you, the average tier of other teams will rise way up, how can you say that?]

─ Is this girl a narcissist?

─ What makes you worth 1000 points, you bitch!

─ It would be nice if you could win by blowing all your points on one player, you girl

Hmm…

“Why? I think I can beat anyone.”

I really don’t understand their reaction.

Who is the person who fed on Challenger tier and reached rank 1? That’s me.

And who watched that scene? The viewers watching my broadcast.

Despite having shown and proved myself, getting such a reaction. Tsk.

“Just shut up and watch. I’ll make us win no matter who gets picked.”

─ …OK

─ Lucy’s confidence is crazy, crazy

─ But those failed bid idiots are really something else

─ Let’s just shut up and watch as Lucy says.

The viewers’ reactions weren’t excessive.

If there was a difference between solo queue and this tournament, it was that the gap between tiers was quite wide.

Since she had fed on Challenger tier and reached rank 1.

It was certain that the opposing team would lose against Lucy, but if they poked at the relatively weak spots and caused fractures, it would be very difficult for even Lucy to lead the game.

Despite this, the viewers quietly watched the auction broadcast, alleviating some anxiety with Lucy’s excessive confidence, and Lucy’s teammates were determined.

TOP ─ Lucy

JG ─ Ground Duck

MID ─ MK12

AD ─ Ret

SUP ─ Hello Hello

─ …Fuck, it’s doomed lolol

─ The entertainment value is GOAT

─ Aren’t those jungle and mid guys Master 0 points?

─ Yeah, they’re fucking guys who park at Master 0 points and only play soccer games

One Challenger, and the rest all Masters were formed.

♦♦♦

Viewers who watched the auction broadcast spent time predicting which teams could be called championship contenders after the broadcast ended.

The armchair MOL experts predicted 3 teams as strong candidates for the championship.

A team composed of 3 Challengers, 1 Grandmaster, and 1 Master.

A team composed of 5 Grandmasters.

And a team composed of 1 Lucy and 4 failed bids.

The first had excellent team composition, and the second had great stability with a high floor, even if the ceiling was lower.

As for the third…

[“Wow! It’s an honor to meet Lucy like this. Ground-iru! I’m BJ Ground Duck, broadcasting from the Continent!”]

A Master 0 points who changed position from support to jungle.

[“K-ru~ Lucy and I are on the same team, Coach, do you think this is balanced?”]

A mid-laner who reached Master for the first time this season by fluke.

[“Haha! It’s been a while, Lucy!”]

An ADC who met Ara through bad karma but received enlightenment from her and had his skills skyrocket from Diamond to Master.

[“Oh my, Min-gu oppa, what’s with the confidence? If Lucy is a 5, Min-gu oppa is a -5. Ah! Lucy unnie! I’ll only trust you, unnie!”]

A Master support already passing the log to Ara.

If you asked top-tier pro gamer users whether they could win with these 4 people, the word ‘impossible’ would come to mind, as the skill level of each team member was widely known.

However

[“Hello. I’m Lucy from the VTuber group Twins Tail, active on BB-bic.”]

Just having Lucy made the team worthy of being called a championship contender.

Not only did she feast in the top tier, but rumors circulated that even pro gamers didn’t want to queue for games because they didn’t want to face her, her skills were that extraordinary.

But why a championship contender? Isn’t the championship already set in stone? If asked this

Unlike solo queue where if the opponent is Challenger, our team is also Challenger, Ara’s team had 4 Masters while the opponents were distributed from Grandmaster to Challenger.

Some teams also had Masters, but because Ara’s team swept up all 4 of the failed bid-level Masters, other teams were left with just 1 or 0 Master-tier broadcasters as a side benefit.

No matter how good Lucy is, if her teammates can’t support her even minimally and self-destruct, it’s hard to guarantee victory.

That’s why the Lucy faction, who knew Lucy’s skills, couldn’t relax.

Well-even so…

[“Hey! Hello Hello. Keep disrespecting me and you’ll get in big trouble?”]

[“Weh! Aubae aubae. Nyae jyaekkue nyae mwesyehwedukwe kwekwe hwenyandae?”]

[“Wow~ Ret. I thought you were Diamond, but you reached Master? How did you do it?”]

[“Haha! Well, I gained a bit of enlightenment thanks to Lucy? No, but wasn’t Ground Duck also just above Diamond before?”]

Thanks to the boisterous sound, it would be entertaining as a broadcast.
