Time Warfare - VS Team Killernoid (1)
Peach Brothers.
Contrary to the bold declaration of war made during their interview with Team PerG-Day, they were actually extremely cautious.
"If you know yourself and your enemy, you need not fear a hundred battles. To be honest, if we're not properly equipped, we're at a disadvantage."
Once the interview ended and in the following break, soldier A, who was in command, set the team's direction.
"Many teams will be targeting PerG-Day aside from us. But they won't go down easily. So we need to focus on looting early on and solidifying our position."
He did not underestimate his target. Even when Genome tried to provoke him from the plane, he didn't rise to it.
Instead, keeping his distance, they occupied the next most important area after the military base: the 'School' area.
They quickly eliminated competitors and pooled the items they'd collected.
"Bravo, Charlie take rifles. Delta takes the sniper."
Soldier A efficiently scanned the items each member gathered and quickly handed out the gear.
It was right as they were about finished preparing.
"What the heck?"
"What's this...?"
Their eyes went wide at the sudden barrage of kill messages. Soldier A narrowed his eyes.
"So many eliminated already?"
"If it's Purple's team, it's possible."
Big Peach nodded grimly, but even he found something odd.
"But this is strange. The kill messages are popping up per team member, almost as if it's in some set order..."
"That shouldn't be possible in a free-for-all, right?"
"Could they be fighting solo?"
Soldier A snorted at his teammates' theories.
"Nonsense. Even without experience, they'd know that's basically suicide."
"He's right. All that matters is that PerG-Day's alive and well. Alpha, now's the time to reassess. Please take command."
"Killernoid showing up earlier than anticipated, but there's no change to the main plan."
At Big Peach's request, soldier A looked at the holographic map and continued.
"Given PerG-Day's playstyle, there's no way they'd skip the time portal. We'll wait for them to engage Killernoid, then strike."
"So the location is... Downtown?"
Big Peach's lips curled in a subtle smile.
An area full of low buildings and narrow alleys—perfect terrain for the Peach Brothers' specialty, urban warfare.
"Whether PerG-Day succeeds or fails in taking down Killernoid, the final winners will be us."
Soldier A thought the same.
* * *
Team PerG-Day left the military base, traveling by car.
Lee Gyeongbok, newtonLord, Eclipse, and Genome all rode in separate cars.
Having all four in one vehicle left them too exposed to a possible ambush.
"How do you feel?"
"What?"
Lee Gyeongbok, at the wheel, asked her. NewtonLord replied in a rather indifferent tone.
"Playing a game together is fun, isn't it?"
The question came again, this time with a pure smile. NewtonLord looked at him briefly before turning away.
"I don't care about fun."
Her answer was neither a yes nor a no.
"I just want a rematch against you, rather than getting tangled with these lousy players."
"Then you'd better try your best. Remember, you only get that rematch if you win?"
"Honestly, looks like I don't even need to put in much effort this time."
Their conversation triggered immediate reactions from the chat.
― Did she learn Purple confidence from her mentor too?
― What's this Newton confidence LOL
― NewNunna, truly a science genius
― What even is being said?
― Uhwooper is science, after all!
― For real LOL—Newton, so of course science is her field!
― They made a deal that the two would rematch if they won?
― Something big coming? Something big coming?
― Seriously LOL, is it always something big coming!?
― PerGNewton rematch? That'll be insane LOL
Lee Gyeongbok cheerfully responded to their reactions.
"I can't comment on what'll happen after we win. Stay tuned and you'll find out."
― What? Is that a hint at something more?
― Does that mean an even bigger event awaits?
― Lol, you don't need to take viewers hostage, I'd watch anyway!
― For real LOL, what else would we watch if not this?
― Please stop teasing the Troopers!
― We all know you're a broadcast genius, so enough already!
Chatting with the viewers as they traveled, the four soon arrived near Downtown.
"Is that the time portal?"
As NewtonLord pointed at the sky, Lee Gyeongbok followed her finger.
Since Downtown was packed with low buildings, the sky's view was unobstructed.
"Oh? That's a pretty impressive visual."
It was a landscape utterly different from the usual clear sky—a giant gash as if something had torn open the heavens, with starlight filling the wound.
― Lol, the graphics team finally did some work
― GGG can do it right when they try!
― Let's be real, the balance team is always the issue LOL
― Where's Killernoid?
― Haven't they appeared yet?
― Aren't they supposed to drop out of there now?
The viewers were typing in agreement, but there was still no sign of Killernoid.
Just then—
"Waaah!"
A terrified scream rang out ahead. As if synchronized, both vehicles abruptly slowed.
〈Purple! Did you hear that?〉
"Yes, I heard. It's at one o'clock."
〈Let's assess the situation first...〉
Genome started to speak over the radio, but suddenly, something flashed between the buildings, and more screams followed.
"This is insane! How are we supposed to kill that!?"
"Fall back! Just get out, now!"
Survivors, pale-faced, came fleeing through an alley. Chasing them, a humanoid machine, chrome skeletal frame fully exposed, appeared.
― LOL, what a look
― Now that's a killer robot!
― The eyes have GOT to be red, obviously
― Blue eyes aren't scary
― What's in its hand? It's glowing!
― Didn't you hear Jung-caster? It's a railgun!
― It's holding a laser sword in its other hand LOL
Killernoid raised its railgun, aiming at a fleeing player and pulling the trigger.
A whirring noise, then a burst of kinetic force pierced the target, their body flaring red and crumbling to ash.
〈Wait, it's a one-shot kill weapon!?〉
〈Utterly destructive!〉
"Guess there was never any need for bulletproof vests."
Though some members were shocked, Lee Gyeongbok remained calm.
"It needs to charge after firing."
He observed Killernoid intently. The railgun's light died after firing and slowly began to recharge.
"Die!"
In that moment, another survivor opened fire on Killernoid. Sparks bounced off its exoskeleton.
Killernoid, unfazed, swung its laser sword. It moved so quickly that it seemed to form a red curtain.
-?
― Is it MELTING the bullets?
― LOL, how do you beat that?
― That's some sharp balance team punishment right there
― This is why teaming is legal, smh
― But wait, only PerG-Day is left here!
― You have to back off for now!
As the chat spammed, the four got out of their vehicles.
They took cover behind a building and exchanged opinions.
"You saw that, right? Guns barely scratch it. We should wait for another team to engage."
"But if another team comes, won't there just be a fight over that weapon? Getting the sword would be nice, but—"
"No, we definitely wait this time."
The sudden voice made everyone look toward NewtonLord. Unexpectedly, she agreed with Genome.
"That thing's no pushover. If we jump in recklessly, we could get wiped. Better to use another team as bait."
"Not going to cooperate?"
"If someone dies, it just means they weren't good enough."
― LOL, this team...
― The chivalrous knight coveting the weapon vs. the merciless NewNunna
― Genome, there goes your logic again, huh?
― PerG-Day, purging even common sense
― But honestly, waiting IS the smart play
The team, and even the chat, seemed set on waiting. But one person thought otherwise.
"No, there's no need to wait. We can take it down ourselves."
Six eyes turned to Lee Gyeongbok, obvious doubt in them.
-?
― They're going to take that down with just four of them?
― Even for PerG-Day, this is a bit much
― Hyung? That's not human!
― But Godple isn't human either, so...
― Post-human vs non-human? Actually sounds good!
― Coming from Godple, I'm suddenly expecting it to work!
― So there IS a strategy, right? LOL
The viewers echoed the skepticism.
"They wouldn't have put in an unbeatable NPC."
"Uh, Purple, to be honest, this seems completely outside my squad-running experience. This time, you'd better give the orders."
At Genome's words, Lee Gyeongbok nodded lightly.
"Understood. Just follow my instructions. Here's what we'll do—"
But before he could explain, he sensed an imminent threat and his eyes flew wide.
The source was Killernoid.
'Did it find us?'
Acting on instinct, Lee Gyeongbok kicked Genome out of line of fire and yanked NewtonLord back.
"Augh!"
"Genome, sir?!"
"What...!?"
Genome, not expecting the kick, tumbled backward while Eclipse moved to catch him.
A flash of light swept between the now-separated group.
-?
― Wait, what's going on?
― Crazy! The railgun shot through the wall?
― How did it know their position even with cover?
― Does it have x-ray vision or something?
― LOL, that's over the line
― Did Purple just save his teammates?
― He saw the attack coming?
― Gotta be, why else would he suddenly kick Genome?
― Or just being petty?
― Honestly, possible
― For real LOL, is Godple's reaction speed human?
The chat was shocked by the sudden development.
The three other than Lee Gyeongbok were equally stunned.
"No time to explain! Just follow my lead!"
There was no time to calm them further. As soon as Lee Gyeongbok shouted, three voices answered simultaneously.
"Ack... G-got it!"
"Just give the command!"
"Alright."
With that, Lee Gyeongbok gave the first order.
"Scatter!"
* * *
The battle between Killernoid and PerG-Day.
While PerG-Day was moving, the broadcast, previously showing other areas, switched back to the action.
Caster Jung Soyoon and the commentators, whose energy had momentarily dipped, immediately perked up.
"Oh! Team PerG-Day and Killernoid are now in combat!"
"Killernoid is key! Didn't I say this from the start of the broadcast? Teams that got to Downtown first have already been wiped out!"
"This is a bleak situation! The addition of a PVE element was supposed to encourage cooperation, not make solo combat nearly impossible!"
As the commentators explained with a sigh, Jung Soyoon nodded.
"That's right! But this is PerG-Day, the team that demonstrated incredible skill at the military base! If anyone can pull it off, maybe it's them? What do you think?"
"That's exactly why my head hurts. I know logically this is practically impossible, but PerG-Day's already made the impossible happen!"
"Exactly! That divide-and-conquer at the military base should have been impossible! Yet PerG-Day pulled it off!"
Despite their concern, they couldn't hide their excitement.
― I believe in PerG-Day! I totally believe in them!
― Purple Coin can only go up from here!
― Please win! Please, give us the skin!
― Killernoid, whatever—against PerG-Day it's just a can of metal!
― One, two, three! Let's go PerG-Day!
― Purge the robots too! Time for a purge!
Both the commentators and viewers clearly felt the same way.
"Oh! The order—the authority has transferred to Purple!"
"They're immediately scattering! Very wise move! No matter how strong the railgun, it can't fire multiple beams at once!"
"This looks like a standard raid approach to me—feels like a raid from other games!"
"A raid? Can you elaborate?"
"As you saw, killernoid can't easily be taken down by bullets. It's going to take some time to defeat! One person draws aggro, while the others dish out damage!"
"Yes! If players with reflexes as sharp as Purple or NewtonLord take point... Wait, what's this!?"
The commentator startled mid-explanation because an unexpected scene was unfolding.
"Eclipse! Eclipse is approaching!"
"It doesn't appear to be a reckless move! Purple's not stopping him!"
"The railgun is fully charged now! Yet Eclipse is approaching directly! He's basically asking to be shot?!"
Eclipse charged at Killernoid. With the narrow alley, there seemed to be nowhere to dodge.
Still, he didn't hesitate. Instead, he sped up, drawing Killernoid's focus.
― He knows he can't shoot, so he's volunteering as bait!?
― This is... chivalry?!
― True Knight Eclipse, sir T_T
― Ah, he was a good knight
Viewers braced for his death as the railgun flashed.
But the kill message didn't appear.
"Eclipse survived! He survived!"
"But how?! Did he deflect it with his sword again?!"
"No, the beam isn't a bullet! And that beam melts bullets—there's no way a machete would block it!"
As the afterimages faded, the reason became clear.
In Eclipse's hand was a sooty black item—a frying pan, looted from a corpse during their earlier retreat.
-?
― A frying pan?
― Did he actually block it with that?
― Lol, stopping a railgun beam with a frying pan?
The viewers were baffled, and the commentary team even more excited.
"Frying pan! It was the frying pan! We almost forgot this existed!"
"The only invincible item in Gunner Ground! I did not expect it to come into play here!"
"This is just insane. The frying pan is invincible, but a railgun is supposed to be a beam of light! Even reflexes at the speed of light shouldn't be possible! Only Eclipse could pull this move off!"
Killernoid's railgun lost its charge again. NewtonLord and Genome flanked from both sides.
"Oh! Not missing the opportunity for an ambush! That's NewtonLord and Genome!"
"But bullets don't seem to do much damage! Are they trying to win through accumulated damage?!"
"Wait, genome's not using a gun! It's grenades!"
NewtonLord moved agilely, firing at Killernoid. From the other side, genome, looking determined, hurled a bunch of grenades from his belt.
― NewNunna and Genome, the dramatic entrance!
― LOL, perfect timing as always!
― Genome, when did you pick up so many grenades?
― First, it was pistol juggling, now it's grenade juggling? LOL
― Perfect clown combo?
― Life tip: If you can't shoot well, just use grenades
― Lol, genome's not a bad shot, just overshadowed here
The viewers were fired up.
But contrary to their expectations, killernoid didn't just take the hits.
Instead, it drew its laser sword.
"Wow! NewtonLord's bullets just hit Killernoid right in the eye!"
"Incredible! Such accurate aim, it's hard to tell who's the real machine!"
"A perfect pinpoint shot! Not just one, but a string of shots punched through!"
NewtonLord's bullets pierced straight through Killernoid's eye. It judged grenades as the greater threat.
With the laser sword, it sliced the approaching grenades, causing them to detonate mid-air in flashes and loud bangs.
― Wow, it sliced them all!
― Incredible swordsmanship
― LOL, where did they get animation like that for a shooter?
― Can't believe it didn't take a single hit
Both the chat and commentators were speechless.
"Ah... Genome's grenades were all intercepted!"
"But that was an excellent coordinated attack! The damage to Killernoid was significant!"
"Things are looking really good! If they keep racking up damage like this—Wait, what's this!?"
Just as cheers started, a silhouette could be seen through the explosion.
The last unaccounted-for member: Lee Gyeongbok.
"There's Purple!"
"No way! When did he get there?!"
"He's so close! I can't even guess what he's planning!"
Both the casters and countless chat messages filled with question marks.
Lee Gyeongbok answered their questions with action.
'Everyone's really doing a great job.'
His smile appeared through the haze. He moved quickly toward the eye NewtonLord destroyed in Killernoid.
The dead angle she'd created.
Darting into it, Lee Gyeongbok reached for the railgun.
"Purple's grabbed the railgun!"
"No way?!"
"Is that even possible?!"
As the commentator's shrill voice rang out, Lee Gyeongbok shoved up the already-charged railgun and grabbed at the trigger.
As he locked eyes with Killernoid's last red lens—
"Will this count as suicide?"
He smiled even brighter, then squeezed Killernoid's finger on the trigger.
A short whirr—then a flash of light engulfed Killernoid's head.
Then silence.
The now-headless skeleton frame toppled backwards.
[Killernoid 》Railgun》 Killernoid]
With it, a kill message appeared.
Proof of PerG-Day's victory.
"Success! Success! Team PerG-Day has solo-cleared Killernoid!"
"Unbelievable, just constant surprises! No way, nO WAY, but they actually took down Killernoid, not a player!"
"Using the future tech makes it easy, but I doubt the developers meant for it to be used like this! Purple always exceeds expectations!"
"And the teamwork from the other members was incredible too!"
"Yes, Eclipse tanked perfectly! NewtonLord and Genome followed up with dealt damage and drawing aggro! Purple finished it off flawlessly!"
"Amazingly, all of this was done based on Purple's orders! NewtonLord made the dead angle, and the grenade noise masked their movement! It all relied on absolute trust—no way to pull that off otherwise!"
"It truly was perfect. A flawless team play. They've proved themselves as championship contenders!"
The excitement in the commentary was palpable, their voices even growing hoarse.
― Lol, even Jung-caster is making mistakes now
― What's that supposed to mean? Why bring up Jung-caster now?
― Not contenders, just winners now! LOL
― For real, science proven live!
― News flash: Leading journal Nature announces discovery of an immutable truth: Uhwooper never fails throughout human history.
― Lol, why bring up Nature here? LOL
― I feel my chest swelling up just listening to the commentary; is it just me?
― Fact: PerG-Day never even practiced together
― Come to think of it, that's true?
― Lol, only noobs fit in practice sessions
― True, the real ones are just built different
― GGG, you watching? Get those skin codes ready!
The chat was in a festive mood.
Meanwhile, team PerG-Day quickly gathered around Killernoid.
"They said the drops were random, but it's the railgun and laser sword again?"
"Seems like the weapons can change every time it spawns."
"Whatever, they're good weapons either way. Sir Eclipse, you take the laser sword."
The two dropped weapons, railgun and laser sword.
Lee Gyeongbok handed the laser sword to Eclipse.
"Oooh! Thank you, sir Purple!"
Eclipse's voice grew rhapsodic as he admired the crimson plasma blade.
"Didn't think this plan would actually work."
"That's why Purple's our captain. No one else could've pulled it off."
At NewtonLord and Genome's praise, Lee Gyeongbok smiled brightly.
"It's all thanks to you trusting me. But it's too soon to celebrate."
"Huh?"
"What do you mean?"
The two looked up in confusion. Lee Gyeongbok let out a small laugh and pulled the railgun trigger, now recharged.
The beam shot straight through a building.
At his sudden action, even Eclipse, still reveling in victory, froze.
What was he doing?
[PerfectPlay 》Railgun》 ArmyTabul]
A kill message popped up.
Genome shrieked in surprise.
"Peach Brothers?!"
The dead player was one of the Peach Brothers.
Instantly, all four hunkered down. A beat later, shots rang out from inside the building.
"Huh? Wait! They're suddenly in a firefight! What's going on!?"
"It's the Peach Brothers! They must've been waiting to ambush while PerG-Day was fighting Killernoid!"
"Incredible! Purple never let their guard down!? We only found out just now, but he already knew their position!"
― Peach Brothers, really?
― When did they get here? Dang
― Were they waiting to backstab the whole time?
― Doesn't match their interview, does it?
― No, actually, this fits the Peach Brothers' style LOL
― For real, surprise attacks are strategy basics
― But it didn't work this time, huh?
― They got wrecked instead
― It's already 4v3 and PerG-Day has both railgun and laser sword
― Already decided, gG
As the Peach Brothers tried to pin them down, Lee Gyeongbok calmly replied while scrolling through chat.
"Unless they've got X-ray vision like Killernoid, they have to poke their heads out at least a little. I saw it."
The commentary again expressed admiration.
"Gamers everywhere should take note! Staying attentive and never letting your guard down, even after a victory, is hard to pull off!"
"Yes! Alertness is the essential virtue in a survival game like Gunner Ground! But it's hard, personally!"
"Purple's mentality is just on another level—inaudibly beyond human."
Jung Soyoon's summary sent a ripple of laughter through the chat, but with the firefight renewed, the commentary rolled on.
"Now Peach Brothers are in danger, having tried a backstab. Their cover fire is buying time, but it doesn't look good."
"Yes, let's switch our camera to the Peach Brothers!"
"Ah, soldier A! He's visibly flustered—something you rarely see on stream or Q-tube!"
As commentary noted, soldier A's face showed obvious panic, his pupils trembling.
"Alpha! Give the order!"
Holding the team together with intermittent covering fire, big Peach spoke. Soldier A grit his teeth as he looked at their fallen comrade, now just a pile of ash.
'Damn it! Railguns like this don't exist in real scenarios!'
With a weapon that could pierce walls, cover was useless. He made a decision.
"Retreat. I'll lead—priority is escape!"
Holding their position and stalling would just make them targets for the railgun.
"Roger!"
"Copy that!"
But PerG-Day would not let them off easily. As suppressing fire died down, newtonLord and Eclipse moved in to encircle them.
"Alpha!"
"Nine o'clock!"
Soldier A targeted Eclipse.
He chose Eclipse because Eclipse was unarmed, thinking it would be easier to break through.
While the other two fired at NewtonLord, he focused on Eclipse.
It was a rational choice, based on experience. But that experience was the problem.
"What?!"
Soldier A's aim was precise. That allowed Eclipse to read his pattern.
With a clang, bullets bounced off the frying pan. The rest were incinerated by the laser sword.
"Mmm... Truly a wondrous blade!"
Eclipse's impressed murmur made Soldier A's eyes tremble even more.
'What do you do in a case like this!?'
He was a seasoned soldier—his experience had saved his life many times.
But he'd never faced anything like this.
Where, in real life, would you find opponents who could not only block bullets but slice them in half?
"Alpha? Alpha!"
Big Peach was alarmed at Soldier A suddenly freezing. Holding NewtonLord back was reaching its limit.
"Damn! Bravo, let's at least..."
But before the teammate could finish, a flash and his body turned to ash.
The railgun, fully charged again, had fired.
'What is this...?'
Now it was 4v2, with the encirclement unbroken. Soldier A shuddered.
"What kind of battle is this...?"
"Alpha! Look out...!"
Big Peach never finished.
In a brief moment, while switching magazines and hiding behind cover, newtonLord pulled the trigger.
A whizzing bullet pierced the gap between Soldier A's helmet and neck.
A precision shot on a spot the helmet didn't cover.
"Huff... huff..."
Big Peach panted. Even without being a Gunner Ground veteran, he knew the score.
'It's over.'
Helpless.
No response possible.
'It was wrong from the start.'
He'd assumed only Purple and Genome would have synergy, and Eclipse would be a liability...
By the Peach Brothers' standards, perG-Day's teamwork seemed childish.
The revelation of the final hidden member, newtonLord, only cemented his conviction.
'Are they actual geniuses?'
But now?
His team had collapsed in an instant, perG-Day—dismissed as a collection of misfits—showed perfect teamwork.
'This is the difference between me and Purple.'
It was Purple who recruited Eclipse and NewtonLord. He must have seen what Big Peach missed.
'Still... I have my pride!'
Big Peach's eyes blazed.
As footsteps approached, he pulled the pins on two grenades.
'If I die, I'll at least take one with me!'
Railgun recharge time remained; if NewtonLord or Eclipse came first, he'd blow them both up if lucky.
He waited, red-eyed, as something rolled toward him.
'... A grenade?'
Big Peach's eyes widened.
He wasn't holding his grenades anymore.
In that case—
"Shit."
His last words. The resulting explosion was compounded by the ones he'd armed himself.
[GENOME 》Frag Grenade》 Big Peach]
Genome still had grenades to spare.
When the dust cleared, the commentary sighed.
"Ah, the Peach Brothers fell too easily in the end."
"Just incredible—they're not the type to be taken out like this, yet they crumbled so fast."
"A complete rout—no excuses! Most fell before they could even leverage their urban combat specialty!"
"A key point was Purple's preemptive strike, wasn't it?"
"Absolutely! And the others followed up seamlessly!"
"Amazingly, no one had to give orders! For Team PerG-Day, this level of response is just the basic standard!"
The decisive battle led to an unambiguous evaluation.
― Lol, peach Brothers became the 'standard' for PerG-Day now!
― If that's the basic standard, then they're really good!
― At first, I wondered about this team, but they're insane!
― Just the best in each field, all on one squad LOL
― So where's Genome in all this?
― Of course, you can't leave out Genome's audio callouts!
― Lol, at least play Bomberman if nothing else!
― Now that Peach Brothers are out, victory's basically sealed
― Thanks for the skin code^^
Viewers were delighted at the fall of their biggest rivals. No one seemed able to stop PerG-Day now.
But the commentary team thought otherwise.
"Hey, chat seems to think it's already over and the event's done. But not at all!"
"That's right! There are still Killernoids left in other areas!"
"Unfortunately, looks like the other teams failed to take theirs down! The survivor count is dropping fast!"
There was not just one Killernoid in this event mode. While the battle in Downtown raged, many were dying elsewhere.
As survivors dropped to under twenty—
[Combat area shrinking! Hurry up!]
[Safe zone resonates with unknown frequencies!]
[The resonance grows stronger!]
With the safe zone shrinking, a new message appeared.
[Grand Time Portal is forming!]
A rumbling roar echoed.
Everywhere on the map, a rift tore through the sky, a giant wound visible to all.
"What's that?"
"Hm, looks serious."
"Feels like a final boss, doesn't it?"
As the group picked over Peach Brothers' loot, they reacted. Even Lee Gyeongbok turned his gaze skyward.
A pillar of light crashed down from the heavens. Others squinted away, shielding their eyes.
But Lee Gyeongbok stared directly at the light.
'A completely different vibe from Aiden.'
Even at a distance, he sensed danger. Descending with the light was a silhouette.
While the others winced, caster Jung Soyoon explained:
"Not all Killernoids are the same! The final goal of this event mode—'Annihilator'!"
"I hear it's even stronger than the standard Killernod. The name says it all—Annihilator."
"But the situation is different from what GGG had in mind. The plan was for players to all cooperate, each taking down a Killernoid and earning future tech weapons. But right now, only PerG-Day holds any of the future weapons!"
What GGG expected was for each player team to kill one Killernoid, then have a showdown.
The top ten would face the boss using their hard-won weapons. Reality was quite different.
"There are only two of those weapons! Can PerG-Day overcome this crisis?"
"I'm sorry, my commentary is monotonous today, but the situation speaks for itself. This is really, really difficult!"
"All the non-PerG-Day teams are being chased by the safe zone! Even if it sounds rude, right now only PerG-Day can actually fight!"
Jung Soyoon cleared her throat and summed up.
"So, this is not what was intended initially! But it's not over till it's over! Heroes arise in troubled times!"
"Honestly, I think this is more fun. If we hadn't seen PerG-Day's plays so far, maybe not, but given everything so far...?"
"I feel the same. It seems impossible, and yet, if it's PerG-Day, maybe they'll create another miracle? I can't stop thinking that!"
"Alright. Three Killernoids remain, plus the Annihilator, versus PerG-Day's four! Unbelievable—this has turned into a 4v4 squad battle! I daresay this will be an all-time classic finale!"
The caster and commentators' excitement spread to the viewers.
― Post-human vs non-human squad match lol
― GGG: This wasn't the plan! But it's fun, though
― Lol, now GGG'll think they're geniuses
― I mean, it IS super entertaining
― Without PerG-Day, this would've been boring as hell, right?
-100% agreed LOL
― Best thing I did all year: Watching GGG event stream
― It's honestly something to brag about
― For real, if you catch this on a replay you'll regret missing it live
― This is a true all-time legend
― So THAT's the 'time' in Time Warfare
― Go purge those tin cans!
Team PerG-Day VS Team Killernoid.
A squad battle no one could have predicted was about to begin.
