The game is still underway.
But the situation feels deeply uncomfortable for Madric.
— CasterMadric's bunching up, trying desperately to break through!— CasterSaseong's defense is rock-solid! With that lineup, it's no surprise!— CasterAnd at the center, of course, Lee Siwoo! Madric's gotta figure out how to deal with that sniper first?!— CasterImpossible! Their defender's health is getting halved before they even breach the shields!It's safe to say the match is already Saseong's for the taking. With time running out and Madric unable to mount any counterattack.
— CasterMadric's charging with their assault defender at the core, attempting another breakthrough!— CasterAh, but the health drain is brutal! Siwoo's Force Enhancement shots aren't missing a beat!— CasterForce Enhancement shots fired in rapid succession like that?! Recoil control is flawless!— CasterPerfect control from player Lee Siwoo! Avatar, recoil, aim—nothing's lacking!— ChatWhoa, Siwoo is the real deal lololol— ChatHistoric sniper just dropped?— ChatStove League's top prospect lololol— ChatThis kid debuts straight to first team;;— ChatStill calling this hype after that? lolol— ChatLegend ;;— CasterNot much time left! Just 2 minutes remaining! If Saseong holds for 2 more minutes, they secure the first set!— CasterBut Madric can't break through at all! They'll lose helplessly like this—don't they need to go all-in?!No matter how Madric tries to find an opening and squeeze through, the sniper's shots shut them down effortlessly.
Switching to another approach? Not an option either. Their lineup is specialized for breakthroughs from the start.
Then, amid the chaos—
Bang—!
Siwoo pulls the trigger once more. And the result hits Madric like a nightmare.
— CasterSiwoo with consecutive headshots! Emergency!! Madric's defender is down!A barrage of Force Enhancement shots takes out their assault defender.
— CasterAhh, now they have to regroup, wasting more time?! Situation's dire for Madric!— CasterKim Woo-hyuk and Park Jin-woo's attacker duo have to push alone! What now for Madric?!— ChatFr real, total domination lololol— ChatOne of the four great attackers at this level?— ChatTotally possible yeahKim Woo-hyuk bites his lip.
'Damn it.'
Things couldn't get worse. Their opening gambit fizzled out, and now the whole game is tangled.
This gap isn't just from lineup differences. Even a defense-specialized comp has openings eventually.
So what caused this?
'Lee Siwoo.'
The sniper.
Popping heads with impossible shots—how do you even counter that?
Constant movement? Same result. The slightest gap, and your head's gone.
'Is set one over here?'
Before the match, he'd been confident they could counter perfectly.
That's why they picked this assault comp—to take out Siwoo and win.
But not even the first step worked.
'Gotta change plans.'
Kim Woo-hyuk speaks up.
"Guys, for set one, we try this all-in. If it fails, just concede. Can't break this."
"OK."
"Told ya. Better for set two."
"That sniper's insane."
Madric's other members don't object. Woo-hyuk's the main caller, but they feel it too.
This comp just won't cut it.
— CasterMadric attempts another breakthrough!— CasterThey have to break through this time?!With their decision made, Madric charges the point with the assault defender leading—no looking back.
Bang—! Bang—!
Siwoo responds with a storm of Force Enhancement shots, trigger flying.
The blue glow of Force Enhancement envelops his body without end.
— CasterBut Siwoo won't let them! Force Enhancement shots raining non-stop!— CasterKim Woo-hyuk's down! Park Jin-woo too! Saseong's backing Siwoo perfectly!The result: Madric's ace attacker duo wiped. Perfect headshots both.
With their core duo—Kim Woo-hyuk and Park Jin-woo—gone, the outcome was sealed.
"Ah...!"
"Damn it!"
"No way...!"
The rest fall without resistance, black-and-white screens greeting them. No need for Siwoo to snipe; numbers overwhelm.
— CasterTeamfight ending like this? Ahh, ace play! Madric wiped!— CasterTime's up completely! GG, Saseong takes set one!— ChatSiwoo collar-carry again lolol— Chat???: Watch out for that one sniper?— ChatYes, Sergeant Siwoo is dangerous— ChatFull-auto Siwoo lolololAnd with that, set one ends.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇Right after the game ends.
"Nice!!"
"Madric crushed! Boom boom boom!!"
"Whoa, that was a total shutout win!"
Saseong's capsule booth erupts in cheers. Siwoo's friends hug and jump in place.
"How was that game?"
Siwoo grins and asks, playing humble with one line. The reaction explodes.
"No need to ask! Perfection itself."
"For real, Siwoo, I'm moved."
"Hook Shot legend, no cap!"
Their satisfaction pierces the sky.
High-fives, laughter, faces reliving the replay in excitement.
Siwoo watches, lips curling up.
"Condition was peak today."
A playful toss-off, but laced with self-assurance.
'Fun.'
Heart pounding. Fingertips alive, the play's thrill still coursing through him.
His control turns into team cheers, friends' laughs, hot air. The link feels vivid.
His play moves people, draws roars.
That's the rush—not just winning, but scenes etching into memories.
In that moment, Siwoo clearly knows why he's on this stage, why he craves more.
Still buzzing, he glances across at Madric's booth.
Their players all wear dark expressions, lost on where to even start fixing things.
"What d'you think Madric's next strat'll be?"
Park Jongsu asks.
"Dunno, probably not the same. They know it won't work."
Han Jiyeon replies, stroking her chin.
"Still, they'll mark Siwoo, so not a huge shift."
Their moves are obvious.
Other members are average at best, so take out Siwoo to win.
"Whatcha gonna do?"
"Mirror match to lock Siwoo?"
"Head explodes instantly? Even Lee Jung-hyuk got wrecked."
"No options fr."
"Standard comp's the play?"
"We win that easy."
Friends chuckle.
Even they think nothing stops Siwoo without a 1v1 tie-up.
But is that possible?
Not even famed Lee Jung-hyuk managed.
"OK, chit-chat over—rest done? Prep for next set. Quarters are next!"
Clap!
Han Jiyeon claps.
"Aye-aye!"
"Quarters bound! Saseong to quarters!"
"iSIU train departing!"
Siwoo and crew, quarters certain, head back to capsules.
