[Lee Siwoo, Running Away... But!]
Tatata-tat—!
Siwoo keeps running, burning through his Force.
The distance to Ryu Jin-seok is about 3 meters.
Just far enough that he won't get caught.
In one hand, he clutches a flashbang.
This will be the piece that flips the matchup.
One chance. That's all I get.
Siwoo's eyes narrow.
When the flashbang goes off.
If you instinctively look away or cover your eyes in that split second, the effect lasts just 1 second.
But if you get caught flat-footed and take it head-on, you're blinded for 3 seconds.
That's why players dread flashbangs above all else. In a hyper-FPS like Overlant, 3 seconds is more than enough time to die.
Players even set up private rooms to drill flashbang evasion training.
No choice—they have to.
A flashbang that can even cook off? Straight-up broken.
But.
For pros with elite focus and reaction times, dodging a flashbang isn't that hard. Just whip your head away or shield your view in that instant.
Top-tier pros? Even easier. They live and die by the second.
Ryu Jin-seok's no different.
He's an OCK top-rank pro pulling in tens of billions in salary.
Dodging a flash? Child's play.
Of course, that's not what Siwoo's aiming for.
Screeech—!
Siwoo slams on the brakes, sliding across the ground. His body kicks up a dust storm as it skids. He twists at the waist, naturally lining up his sights.
Lee Siwoo has stopped!
"……!!!"
Ryu Jin-seok spots it and brakes hard. He hooks the ground with his arm for leverage, accelerating, then unleashes the gauntlet close-range attacker's signature—Strengthened Punch.
A forward dash that slams the enemy and shoves them back. Can't let it connect. Bouncing off a wall adds extra damage, plus knockdown and stun.
And it chains into Earthquake Slam, a leap that pounds the ground.
But Siwoo's aim is faster. Plenty of time to dodge. He pulls the trigger.
Tatata-tang—!
Flames erupt from the barrel, recoil shoving his body back. The Ban-dal shakes like an earthquake. But the bullets fly true.
Pababak—!
Four Ban-dal rounds slam into Ryu Jin-seok's head in an instant. His health bar melts like ice cream.
"Damn...!!"
Ryu Jin-seok frantically raises his gauntlets in a guard.
Ryu Jin-seok switches to desperate defense!
Gauntlet close-range attacker's Super Block!
Pababak!
Siwoo's bullet storm rages on, but the damage drops off after the opener. Super Block's damage reduction kicking in.
Didn't expect it'd kill him anyway.
Still, he scored. Whittled down that health bar some.
Screeech—!
Siwoo snaps his ankle around. Pajijik! Force surges, enhancing his body. He kicks off and bolts.
Even on the run, he scans the surroundings. Terrain, Ryu Jin-seok's position and stride, where he'll react if he stops—
He reads it all.
Lee Siwoo running again?!
Run-and-gun! Rifle attacker textbook play!
Damn it!
Ryu Jin-seok kicks off late, leaving an afterimage as he chases Siwoo down.
Can't let this drag out any longer.
This golden chance to close the gap on a rifle attacker. Can't let it slip. But overcommitting's suicide—opponent backup could show any second.
Snatch a chance like this, only to get caught? Nothing more pathetic.
Push a bit, shove him off, then bail.
Ryu Jin-seok plans to let Siwoo go once he hits safe distance. Grabbing him would be nice, but not mission-critical. Snag the objective, regroup with the main squad—that's the play.
But in that instant.
Ting—.
The flashbang drops to the ground. Ryu Jin-seok instinctively ducks, shielding his eyes with his gauntlet. Pro gamer reflexes.
But that's—
Got him.
Exactly what Siwoo wanted. That split second ducking the flash? The window to flip the script.
Tatata-tang—!
Flames roar from the barrel. Heavy Ban-dal recoil whips his body back.
Pababak!
Bullets rip into Ryu Jin-seok. No headshots—gauntlets blocking the front.
"Damn it!"
Full damage lands anyway. Not enough to finish, but he's on the ropes.
And in that instant.
Poof—!
The flashbang detonates. A white sheet blinds him. Sound vanishes, replaced by ringing.
Can't see, but he remembers everything.
Ryu Jin-seok's position, his stride length, ankle angle, preferred dodge direction, best cover spots in the structure—
All mapped out.
Pabak—!
Ryu Jin-seok can't tank the storm. He dives sideways in desperation.
Countering with Strengthened Punch while eating shots? Viable, but health's too low from the opener. He's critical.
Super Block spent too—no breaking through.
So he dodged.
Lee Siwoo's aim tracks him!
"……!!"
Pababak—!
Siwoo masters the recoil, swinging the barrel to track Ryu Jin-seok.
Bullets shred his body.
Health left—
0.
What?! Lee Siwoo predicts and downs Ryu Jin-seok!
Perfect solo kill in set 2, just like set 1!
Viewers baffled.
Ryu Jin-seok's in chaos. A dump truck of shock slams his brain.
Wasn't he blind?!
His vision should've been blocked.
Unlike him, Siwoo was pinned for those 3 seconds.
But the aim? Eerily perfect. Reading his moves from memory?
No other explanation.
Of course.
Blinded, yet the aim tracked flawlessly. Nailed the dodge direction, timing, distance—even.
Ryu Jin-seok has no fixed patterns. Inconsistent, his perfomance shifts per match.
Means Siwoo read him in that blink.
Patterns even he didn't know he had today.
Insane.
Chills crawl up his spine, a creepy shiver lingering at his nape.
Impossible bastard.
Siwoo's way beyond what he thought. Analysis won't cut it—that level.
God-tier mechanics?
Bold calls?
Sharp instincts?
Not his real edge.
His true strength—
Innate combat genius.
Fighting itself.
After Ryu Jin-seok drops.
Siwoo casually scoops blue and red buffs—speed boosts too. Massive edge in the teamfight phase.
A1 pushing hard! Teamfight's brutal! Damage gap's no joke!
Full wipe incoming! A1 needs to retreat—but can't!
Point's active! Falling back hands Kaiserst the win!
Firepower disparity.
Even straight fights favor Kaiserst. They regen Force and health slowly, plus dot damage and min damage amps.
There it is! Lee Siwoo charges forward! Lee Soo-hyuk and Kim Yong-taek follow!
Breakthrough play?! Kim Ho-jong harasses, Park Chan-seong ties up A1's defender!
That's when.
Mid fierce point brawl, Siwoo dives forward.
Kim Yong-taek sticks close, speed-buffing and Force-charging to keep him alive.
Lee Soo-hyuk tags along, splitting focus so it doesn't all pile on Siwoo.
Smoke out! Lee Soo-hyuk blankets A1's whole formation!
What the—?! Why not just push?!
Everyone puzzled.
Siwoo dives into Lee Soo-hyuk's smoke. His body dissolves into blue particles, teleport-dashing through space.
And.
Siwoo's barrel whips around, spitting five precise shots per target. Perfect straight lines, bullets cratering A1 players' heads.
Lee Siwoo! Into the smoke! Perfect aim searching!
That moment—Lee Min-young down! Lee Hyun-jun too—wiped!
A1 helpless.
Smoke blinds them already, now bullets raining. Panic piles on—no clear decisions.
Lee Siwoo searching perfectly in the smoke! Recoil flawless!
Unbelievable! How is this even possible?!
Historic genius debuts! Even that A1—Masters stars—getting pushed!
Finally.
A1 full wipe! Couldn't shake the chasing defender either!
Kaiserst captures the point! Game sealed?!
Kaiserst, foes routed, forms up around Siwoo for a 5-man entrance seal.
Game winding down.
A1! Desperate frontline break!
Ryu Jin-seok breakthrough attempt!
Ryu Jin-seok risks it all, charging in.
The "hated courage" of a bold attacker.
Gauntlet close attacker's leap!
Earthquake Slam forward... but!
Focus fire! Everyone on Ryu Jin-seok!
Ryu down! Kaiserst perfect sync—focus locked!
But just an attempt.
Kaiserst barrels converge on Ryu Jin-seok.
Tanky close attacker or not, can't eat focused fire.
And soon.
Point capture ticking down!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Done!
GG—!
Game over.
That A1! OCK's big three A1! 2-0 to Kaiserst!
Basically lost to Siwoo solo! He swept them clean!
Lee Siwoo and Kaiserst show A1 what a circus really is!
