Chapter 55: Dominance: Taking Control of the Match
The energy shield cracked like a spider web and shattered like glass fragments.
He immediately gave the next order.
"Don't worry about taking damage, just charge! Let's get inside the objective first. Pharah, go up in the air and shoot your cannon. Genji, there's a side path on the left—take that route. I'll go through the right side path, and the rest of you break through frontally."
= Ugh. This damage hurts too much, right? Oh, heal came through. But wait, don't we not have a healer?
"I placed heal packs in the center. Your health will recover if you stay in there. They disappear quickly so don't stay too long!"
= Roger. Frontal charge!
= Ugh. Sorry guys. I'm dead.
= At this rate we're all gonna die. Are you sure about that order?
Just because the shield broke doesn't mean they won immediately. The enemy team didn't stand idly by and fired attacks, so their allies' health depleted rapidly.
Soon the first casualty appeared, and Genji, who was trying to go around to the left, was caught by the enemy team and died.
-Ah, that's not how you give orders ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅋㅋㅋ Mistaken order ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
"Oppa, fighting!"
Their team's skill level wasn't as good as expected. And the enemy composition was too good. Somehow, despite it being the first day of closed beta, they had the basic 2 Damage, 2 Tank, 2 Support composition, making them considerably troublesome.
'Even so, this much is manageable!'
It wasn't just their team that died. The enemy team also lost one member.
The situation was definitely reversible.
Seo Juhwan, who went around to the right, aimed at the head of an enemy shooting bullets forward.
Rat-a-tat!
Boom!
Three bullets and one grenade.
One enemy team member instantly retired.
The enemies watching the front noticed him from the commotion, but it was already too late. After using one grenade, he had 23 bullets remaining.
He rushed into the objective and aimed his gun at the enemies. His aim clung to them as if it were magnetic.
Rat-a-tat-a-tat-tat!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
A relatively fragile damage dealer's health quickly depleted.
Another one down.
He then used all remaining bullets on Zenyatta, the support hero.
Boom!
Zenyatta's health rapidly drained away.
The panicked Zenyatta healed himself and quickly turned to escape, but an ally in front handled him.
"Everyone get inside the objective now! I'm placing heal packs, so recover health while defending the point!"
The first objective point on Hanamura is relatively small compared to other maps.
When placing Soldier: 69's heal packs here, players could recover health while attacking. However, since it was open on all sides, they couldn't let their guard down for a moment.
= Wow. Your aim is insane.
= That order was so cool!
= The heal packs taste good!
= I'll join once I respawn!
= Wow, I died and watched you. Your aim rotated. I thought hacks were already out.
"Tank incoming. Be careful of the charge. I'll handle Pharah."
Despite his teammates' praise, Seo Juhwan didn't let his guard down. As mentioned, the first objective on Hanamura had a narrow space and was wide open on all sides.
If Pharah's cannon flew into this cramped space, they could be wiped out in an instant.
Tap, tap-tat-tat, tap-tat!
He fired in bursts, controlling Pharah in the air. The Pharah player, still unfamiliar with the character, flew around erratically in panic.
Then, the moment her time in the air ended and she descended.
Boom!
The flying grenade completely eliminated her remaining health.
With that, he had single-handedly killed two damage dealers and one support hero.
The remaining two tanks and healer were handled when his arriving teammates joined in.
[98… 99… 100.]
[First Objective Captured!]
[Capture the Second Objective.]
The moment the capture announcement appeared, he rushed forward while speaking.
"Let's end this while they can't react. I'll go around the left side, so support hero please follow me, and the rest of you go straight ahead."
Seo Juhwan caught that one teammate had switched to a healer role despite the urgent game situation. His multitasking ability had expanded his awareness.
= Yes, understood!
= Roger that!
= Charging!
= This time I'll show you the true power of my cannon!
= Please, just don't get cut down immediately again!
He sent his teammates forward and went around the stairs on the left with the healer.
On the first day of closed beta, it was rare to find a user who already knew all the map layouts. Surely there wouldn't be anyone here.
Even if there was, it didn't matter.
With his current condition, he felt like he could win against anyone.
'I'm playing exactly how I want to play!'
Since he was playing exactly as he thought, his tension naturally rose. It was as if he'd used the Blessing of Focus—every situation was clearly visible to him.
Was this the world professionals lived in?
It felt completely different from when he normally played games.
'This feels amazing.'
As he went around to the left and emerged next to the second objective, he saw his teammates in a frontal collision with enemies.
In a 6 vs 4 situation, his allies were clearly being pushed back.
"Support hero, forget healing—use your buff!"
= Yes? Understood!
The healer's chosen hero was Lúcio.
Lúcio heals with left-click and applies attack-enhancing buffs with right-click.
A blue glow enveloped the buffed Soldier: 69.
Seo Juhwan pressed Q, his ultimate button, in this enhanced state.
[Enemies Targeted.]
Along with the ultimate voice line.
Rat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tat-tat!
Rat-a-tat-a-tat!
Rat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tat!
Rat-a-tat-a-tat!
Rat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tat!
His gun blazed with fire.
[Enemy Eliminated!]
[Double Kill!]
[Triple Kill!]
[Quadra Kill!]
[Penta Kill!]
One enemy remained.
The ultimate was over.
He fired a grenade with right-click.
Boom!
A message appeared with the explosion.
[Team Eliminated!]
[88... 93... 97...100.]
[Second Objective Captured!]
[Red Team Victory!]
It was a clean victory.
