Echoes of the Reverse Planet Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Even Overseas

One interesting fact was that while the driving force that made him the center of attention in the community ca from his astonishing performance, the posts that actually received many recomndations were all pro-related content.

Surely the community users had beco that accustod to the monster called Baek Woohyun, plus there was the impact of defeating even active Division 1 League pro players head-on, including those called World Class.

It was also because fans who watched the pro league didn't miss player-related issues in a situation where the pro league had finished all its schedules and entered a break period.

✪ Breaking) Battler Hackphysical preparing iTube content together

( of suited frog raising wine glass)

You get what this ans, right?

Empire fans, cheers~

-Kyaaaaa this is it~~~~

-Empire calls, you co = If the Empire calls, you must co

ㄴㄹㅇㅋㅋ It's not just any team, it's the Empire

ㄴ? Any team? This bastard crossed the line

ㄴThis is why Empire fanboys get cursed, crazy bastards

ㄴWe'd like to inform you that this opinion has nothing to do with decent Empire fans -Actual Empire Fan-

ㄴEvery ti, they say it's not them

ㄴThe classic 'just a few bad apples' ca out again? Empire fan specialty, huh?

-This is totally naturalㅎㅎ

-Film content and recruit = fundantal route

ㄴNope~ Hackphysical said he's not going pro~ Wake up from your dream~

-[Official] WELCO HACKSICALJWA

ㄴWriting it in English makes Hackphysical sound kind of sothing

ㄴHe'll co with a different na

ㄴCo? Lmfao he said he's not going pro? Stop drinking that kimchi soup

Especially the fans of the pro team DH Empire—where Battler Kim Hyeonjun and Nikki Lee Yeonwoo belonged, commonly called the 'Empire'—acted as if Baek Woohyun's recruitnt was already certain.

During the consecutive win record, Nikki Lee Yeonwoo ca out, during the Challenger ranking 1st climb, Battler Kim Hyeonjun—two flagship ace players got involved, they invited him to their pro team, and they're even filming iTube content together?

The groundwork had been laid as thoroughly as could be, so just officially join the team and post [Official] WELCO HACKSICALJWA and it's done—that was their claim.

The content from the 'Nuclear Tourism' where Jeong Nayeon had said multiple tis on Baek Woohyun's behalf that he had no intention of going pro had already been cleanly erased from their minds.

Even if soone ntioned such things, it didn't work at all. They just cursed at or ignored them as fans of other teams jealous of DH Empire's dynasty construction (scheduled).

When fans start running their happiness circuits, they don't listen to anyone.

✪ (Not Aggro X)(Official)(Breaking) Hackphysical NOT debuting at DH Empire

(✪ Am I the only one who finds imperialist bastards disgusting?

✪ ??? : Don't condemn the whole based on just a few!

✪ Shock! There are fans who call other teams 'any teams'?!

✪ Imperialist ← Derogatory GOAT

─Photo filled with such titles)

(Grinning frog )

Actually this is aggro

But what are you gonna do?

If Hackphysical debuts at DH Empire, what can you do

You bastard supporting a trash teamㅋㅋ

What can you do besides getting pissed or cursing in the comnts, you trash bastardㅋㅋ

-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Hackphysical is definitely becoming a DH Empire player, what can you guys doㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴReally? Watch carefully what I can do

ㄴGasp!

ㄴWhat are you gonna doㄷㄷ

ㄴEveryone, run away~

-They're treating criticism as aggro

-If you're an Empire fan right now, you're invincibleㅋㅋ

-The title tags are insane, are they crazy for realㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is the class of a monthly champion winning team's fans

Other teams' fans' criticism didn't work at all on DH Empire fans. Because they gained immunity to all attacks after taking last year's World Championship throne.

The absolutely invincible shield that only fans of the World Championship winning team could wear was maintained until the next year's World Championship was held and a new winning team erged.

There was also the reason that everyone knew that taking things seriously alone in a place where everyone anonymously chatters would just make you a fool.

✪ [Official] Lightning Bullet fans collectively support Hackphysical

Please save our poor boy breadwinner ㅜㅜ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-These guys are just funny to watchㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Looking forward to last place this year too

-Even good players beco bad when they go to Lightning Bullet

ㄴBut Hackphysical would be different···

-First support him and he'll co, that mindsetㄷㄷ

-When will Endless give up on Lightning Bullet and leave

ㄴShut up lmfao bastard!!

ㄴWhere do you live? I'm seriously askingㅇㅇ

ㄴGasp;; Sorry sorry;;;

ㄴTouching the reverse scale of a gentle Lightning Bullet fan

anwhile, the fans of Lightning Bullet—famous for Endless 'Jo Hoyoung' struggling alone as a boy breadwinner—modestly revealed their desires, but received no major response except recomndations from sympathy.

And for good reason, because besides them, there were many teams that wanted to recruit Hackphysical as a player. The fact that various pro teams approached Baek Woohyun behind the scenes was now an open secret.

Bluntly speaking, if Baek Woohyun had the intention, he could choose and go to any dostic team. It ant he had proven himself perfectly.

[General] Hackphysical is just confird as Korea's solo top

He beat all of Korea's big 3—Nikki, Battler, Endless—what more needs to be said

Now to find an opponent for Hackphysical, you have to go overseas

But even including overseas, there are probably only three or four players at most who could properly fight

For now, what cos to mind imdiately are Lugh (from global server Colosseum ranking 1st) and Atraksha (genius monster who debuted with physical only and imdiately made it to Worlds)?

─The problem is there's no way for Hackphysical, who's not a pro player, to et those players···

└[OP] That's the most regrettable part

└He'll debut as a pro thoughㅋㅋ Surely he won't not do it?

└There's a rumor that talks with DH Empire are almost finished, who knows how it'll turn outㅎ

└That was confird as bullshit~

There was also public opinion that to face Baek Woohyun—who had beaten all of Korea's big 3 (looking at the fact that two of them were on one team, you could see why DH Empire was treated as the evil empire)—you now had to go overseas.

Other countries also had players called World Class, and among them were those believed to beat even Korea's big 3 in a 1-on-1, or had actually beaten them.

Of course, it was unknown how Baek Woohyun, who wasn't even a pro player, could et and compete with them. To et those from different servers altogether, one side would have to go to the other server.

Both cases had low possibility, so it was practically a futile wish difficult to achieve. Wistful and regrettable only to those who wanted to see an amateur take the world's strongest title.

[General] My friend works at an overseas pro team

And he says interest in Hackphysical is incredibly huge overseas too

They even seem to be seriously considering scouting him

They say with that level of skill, they should obviously grab him, pro league verification or whatever

─My friend says Hackphysical is going to DH Empireㅎㅎ Good luck~

└[OP] Blocking you

Surprisingly, the rumor-like information that flowed by without much interest from community users—'Overseas is also paying attention to Hackphysical'—was clearly true.

The trendous interest in Baek Woohyun that started in the Korean pro industry spread overseas intact, making them pay attention to him and even think about pulling him in as a team player if possible.

The fact that a channel suitable as a stepping stone to overseas pro teams had appeared in the 'Nuclear Tourism' content also played a part. The channel nad Chloe Martinez. She herself had influenced spreading word about him.

Chloe Martinez, who in Korea was just a Western lady who explained the story, had trendous recognition overseas. Natural, since she was an iTuber boasting a whopping ten million subscribers.

Jokingly called the goddess of the Raddy It - Reverse Planet board, she had uploaded story videos revealed by Baek Woohyun, and continued to do so even after participating as a panelist in the 'Nuclear Tourism' content.

Since those contained footage of Baek Woohyun going crazy while progressing through the story, overseas pro teams that had only heard rumors through the grapevine also noticed the monster called Baek Woohyun.

─[Raddy It - Reverse Planet]─

▷Mr. Cheater scheduled to debut at DH Empire

▷Korean team will take Worlds next year too ;(

▷To lift this year's World Championship trophy, we must recruit Mr. Cheater

▷The best choice among Korean rcenaries 'Mr. Cheater'

Right now even Raddy It—Reddit for short—was arguing about Baek Woohyun's—Mr. Cheater's—whereabouts, so overseas pro teams seriously considering recruiting Baek Woohyun was quite a natural result.

The fact that he was still an amateur who hadn't debuted as a pro was also very attractive. At least for the first year of debut, they could bring him cheaply on a free contract without a transfer fee.

On the other hand, there was the disadvantage of being unproven talent in the pro league─

"─That's not a problem at all!"

TLQ, a pro team in 'Reverse Planet's' North Arican League—yes, Chloe Martinez's team—team director Jonathan Leslie Herdman shouted in a resolute tone.

The eyes of the outstanding director who had advanced TLQ, a perennial last-place team, to the World Championship finals with just one year of rebuilding, shone brightly. It seed his trendous energy was directly revealed.

eting the gazes focused on him directly, he spoke again as if spitting.

"Unproven talent in the pro league? Bullshit! That kind of thing doesn't matter at all for a monster like that!"

"···So you're saying recruit a Korean amateur player? That's too risky a gamble, Johnny. If it fails···."

"I heard that when Mr. Cheater first appeared like a cot too, Ben."

Jonathan Leslie Herdman—Johnny—who cut off Ben's words shrugged his shoulders.

"So what happened to him now?"

""······.""

Although several people were gathered in the conference room, only silence returned to Johnny's question. No one could easily open their mouth. Even though it was essentially a question with a set answer.

Johnny, who looked around at them again, resud the hologram video he'd paused. The match between Baek Woohyun and Kim Hyeonjun from just yesterday, which had made waves not only in Korea but overseas too, started again.

-"Let's end the probing here."

-"Good."

-Crash!

The battle between the two was truly overwhelming. Enough that even the mouths of those who had been negative about recruitnt gradually opened without realizing it. They were just, too strong. It was fine to say they were on a different level.

The people here might have felt such emotions even more because, even if they didn't know Baek Woohyun, they had been severely beaten by 'Battler' Kim Hyeonjun at the World Championship. Last year's finals flashed through their minds right away.

Wasn't it plausible to think that if Baek Woohyun had been there in the finals where they collapsed against the wall called Battler, the result might have been different?

-"Sssslurp."

-Crack crack crack.

Soon, the video entered the highlight of the battle.

The very mont when Baek Woohyun, with an ominous sound, surpassed his physical limits.
