Chapter Title: Winner's Interview
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Last-minute secret weapon pulled out only in the fifth set.
The viewers' reactions were nothing short of jaw-dropping.
Not just in the VerGal, Blue LUV's home turf, but even in the Hyper War Gallery packed with Hyper War enthusiasts—it was a total frenzy of excitement.
(Lulu wiping out 3 enemies with nano dragon sword) (Lulu assassinating Genji with gale blade right-click melee combo) (Lulu massacring foes with just nano, no dragon sword)
(Lulu shoving all fleeing enemies back into the fray) (Lulu landing gravity orb mindgame) God damn, is this even real? lololololol Hanji played a bit sloppy, but seeing that orb land had me creaming my pants top to bottom. Should've watched while showering.
Her game sense is on another level, like she has two brains dd
That comp wouldn't work without perfect synergy
She deserves it, unlike comeback vet Luke or smurf Lulu pretending newbie, she was legit total noob... probably stressed about being deadweight
Other talents you can be born with, but meta creation? Pro teams brainstorm for that level
Watching Lulu constantly invent new comps and lead the meta like this,
WarGal folks half-jokingly, half-seriously started worshipping her as the god of Hyper War, aka "War God Lulu."
And in chat, "ㅇㅅㄹㅅ" (as expected of Lulu God) became a full-blown meme.
After clinching the semifinals victory,
our team gathered for a group interview.
From semis onward, it's not just the MVP—they interview the whole team.
"Alright, time to interview the 'Blue LUV' team who snatched a nail-biting win in today's semifinals. Hello!"
No separate interviewer, so one caster's intro sent chat scrolling into overdrive.
Going from underdog after roster reveal to upsetting the favorites for finals? Reactions were extra hype.
"One, two, three!"
"Hello! We're Blue LUV!"
"And President Haneul Bom here."
Ugh, knew President would join.
A tad bittersweet.
"Blue LUV team! You showed insane play and took the win—what's your take right now?"
"Uh... super happy, kinda dazed."
"Opponent was so strong, never thought we'd win."
"Yeah. We even said before match, win or lose, just have fun."
I already talked plenty in quarters MVP interview,
so today I zipped it to hear the members.
Truth is, this win's joy is too much—hard to speak.
In my old world, Blues crashed out here,
comforting each other sadly in Discord till bittersweet end.
Changing that? Pure bliss.
"Last set 5, new comp sealed the deal—what went into that?"
"Not much research... just followed our maknae's idea."
"Scrims were rough lately, so Lulu suggested trying it."
"Wanted to save for finals, but enemy too strong—had to pull it last."
"Lulu's foresight strikes again? Let's hear from her—what sparked this fresh comp?"
Eh, me? Now?
Mid-sip to wet my dry mouth, I fumbled mic on in panic.
"Uh, n-no real spark... Just love Brigitte so much, thought build around her. But Genji in? Counters double sniper... so what if we ignore snipers, go brawl with mainforce? Tossed in D.Va."
"'No spark' but that's detailed af? Pro coaches watching would drool—top-tier analysis!"
"N-no, pros? What..."
B-broke? No!
Just flustered by overpraise!
I'm just stealing future metas!
Can't say that tho...
"Lulu snags MVP again today. Hidden MVP pick—who ya giving it to?"
"MVP? Uh..."
Too many?
All five deserve it easy.
Rahee unnie owned set 1 highlight,
Yuna always ulted faster for favorable fights,
Chae-yoon unnie our rock,
President topped damage as Genji last set insane.
Hmm.
Hidden MVP? Gotta be...
"All amazing, but if one? Ellin unnie."
Hehe, everyone sees it.
Main healer less flashy,
but even accounting? Ellin unnie peak today.
"Picking Ellin—any reason?"
"Before 3-3 prep, asked Lilith unnie and Ellin unnie first. New chars not mains."
"Right! Both crushed off-meta heroes today!"
"Yeah. Lilith plays lots, but Ellin started recent, stuck Mercy. Asking switch tough. But she agreed quick, played perfect today—super grateful."
Not newbie praise or lip service.
No Ellin unnie, no win today.
Her resolve, grind—that's top contributor.
"Maknae shows respect—Ellin, your thoughts?"
"......"
"Ellin?"
Caster passed to Ji-ah unnie after me,
but no reply.
Mic off by mistake?
Then faint sob over mic.
"...Hic, sniff. S-sorry. Too... happy..."
For unnie who stressed hard,
did my sincerity comfort a bit?
Faint sobs brought brief silence...
"Wah! Big sis crying!"
"Lulu made Ellin unnie cry!"
"Lulu bad."
"Maknae, President's watching—gonna get scolded?"
"Eek?! M-me?!"
Back to Blue LUV brightness quick,
turned it fun, comforting Ji-ah unnie.
"Unnie, cry after winning! Too early!"
"Yeah! Finals to win too!"
"Y-yeah. Sorry. Promise—cry after finals."
Like vowing championship tears,
we pledged group cry post-win, wrapped interview.
"For close, maknae who cried big sis does aegyo trio as apology!"
"Approved!"
"Too mean...!"
Interview done,
but encirclement closing in.
This joyful finals advance day,
I paid for making Ji-ah unnie cry with aegyo set,
ending as today's MVP and team punchline.
Uuu...
Why this ending?
