HFS 24

While casually winning the next team fight and gaining experience from hitting Guardian Sane, Cheong-hyeon was knocked back by Sane’s wide sword swing, and then hit by his blade attack that shot in four directions. It was just a simple matter of bad luck, getting caught in a random skill combo from the boss. With his health stats greatly reduced, Cheong-hyeon naturally looked for Seo Hee-won, but he had temporarily moved away to care for the tanks.

“Ouch…”

“Wait a moment. I can’t take my eyes off them…”

“Hey! Where are you going! Give the tanks their heals first!”

[Team] Hyutzzi: This is too hard…

[Team] Hyutzzi: I followed this guild because the Guild Master said he’d provide good healing.

[Team] Hyutzzi: But now…

[Team] Hyutzzi: I feel like I’ve been scammed.

As Seo Hee-won tried to turn his attention back to Cheong-hyeon, complaints poured in from the tanks.

“So, you have a big problem with that?”

[Team] Hyutzzi: No, not at all!

[Team] Hyutzzi: I’ll endure while taking damage.

[Team] Hyutzzi: That’s a tank’s duty after all ^^

Cheong-hyeon stopped Seo Hee-won from healing him. No matter what, the main healer, Seo Hee-won, needed to take care of the tanks’ healing, and Cheong-hyeon’s health wasn’t that badly reduced. Telling him it was fine and to heal the tanks instead, Cheong-hyeon asked Tiramisush, who was nearby, for healing in place of the busy Seo Hee-won.

“Tyrannosaurus, give me one heal.”

“…That’s even longer than my actual nickname!”

Recently, Tiramisush had been called by every word starting with “Ti” because his nickname was long and awkward to abbreviate, which was how it all got started. Tiramisush grumbled that instead of calling him such long names, they should just use his name properly, but he still provided the healing.

“Tea-tree-trouble-calming-skin, just endure it~”

“W-What are you calling me?”

Hearing the giggles from all around, Tiramisush realized he was being teased and began to protest.

[Team] Tiramisush: I won’t respond if you call me weird names from now on ㅡㅅㅡ

Compared to someone who could kill a person with words when upset, it was a very cute threat. It was a moment when they had let their guard down, laughing and chatting during the smoothly flowing game. An enemy archer who had been hiding far away stole the final hit on Guardian Sane with a single arrow, after they had worked hard to reduce his health.

The Extra Guild has defeated Gatekeeper Seine.

All members of the Extra Guild gain a large amount of experience and skill points.

Jumong’sDescendant receives the Seine Hunter buff effect.

Moving to the abandoned underground passage.

[Match] JumongDescendant: GG~

[Match] JumongDescendant: Don’t let your guard down lol

The level gap they had carefully built was instantly closed. Seo Hee-won, who had been watching with an unpleasantly smiling face, immediately changed his attitude.

“Does everyone not want to sleep today?”

At this chilling threatening question, the guild members snapped back to attention and turned all of their focus onto the game. To pass the preliminaries, they had to forgo on sleep until they met their daily point goals.

Title: Let’s look at the Lucy Server preliminary results

Author: PlayHolyWarTillDeath

Here are the Holy War preliminary results that just came out:

1st – Seven

There was a lot of talk about whether Seven would maintain their 1st place or fall since their core Holy War players Seohee1 (priest) and Jimni (knight) left, but they still passed the preliminaries in 1st place.

Can’t underestimate having many high-spec guild members.

You might think they didn’t hold 1st place for a year for nothing, but the noteworthy point is the score difference with 2nd place.

In last year’s preliminaries, the difference was nearly 500 points, but this time it’s only 70 points.

This means they could have missed 1st place by just a game or two with some bad luck.

They seem to have taken a hit with key members leaving and fewer guild members compared to last year.

2nd – Annihilation

The pitiful eternal 2nd place guild that couldn’t get 1st place because of Seven.

With Seven’s firepower dispersed, they’ve emerged as the likely 1st place candidate for this Holy War.

Someone I know knows Annihilation’s guild master through mutual connections, and they say he’s super excited now.

30th – Normal People

The first guild on Lucy server to advance to the main tournament with fewer than 10 members, that’s Seohee1’s guild.

As soon as the guild was created, they were publicly shamed by Seven and made a fuss about clearing Mystic Mine first.

They might seem weak at 30th place, but the fact that they passed the preliminaries with so few members means they either ran Holy War 24 hours a day or had an insanely high win rate.

Either way, they’re incredibly persistent.

They’ve been keyboard fighting with Seven in server chat every day lately. I wish they’d just battle it out, establish the hierarchy, and be quiet.

Anyway, from the main tournament, it’s a real test of skill beyond population advantage, so I’m curious how it will turn out.

Personally, I think Annihilation Guild has a shot at winning this season.

When will the main tournament bracket be announced???

└Friday

Just waiting for the day Seven and Normal People face off—for me, this is the Olympics and World Cup.

From what I’ve heard from guilds that fought Normal People, their doom assassin is really good.

└If you lose to a doom assassin, aren’t you just lacking in ability?

└Even if he’s good, he probably won’t make it to the main tournament. The main tournament is a battle of skilled players.

[Guild War Bracket]

Seven is in Group A, Normal People is in Group B

What does this mean?

It means they can only meet in the finals if they face each other.

While Seven is on a downward trend lately, they’re guaranteed to reach the finals.

Can Normal People really make it to the finals???

All Comments

Honestly, it’ll be tough. No small guild has ever reached the finals until now.

Who made this bracket? They should have put Normal People in the same group as Seven so they could face off at least once.

Seohee1 only pulled his weight when he was with Seven lol. What’s he going to do with those subpar dealers?

lololololololololol

Are Normal People any good? Or are you guys just weak?

└Author: I said I’m not taking questions, damn it.

Who do you think would win if Seven and Normal People face off?

Do Normal People really play with a doom assassin?

Author: One last word—the doom assassin seriously needs to be nerfed

Wow, Seohee1 is Seohee1, but their doom assassin is pretty good too.

All Comments

Wow, they might actually make it to the finals?

Seohee1 is flying around more than when he was with Seven.

How is Seven doing? Did they make it to the semifinals?

└Yes, they made it with a win-loss-win-loss-win pattern.

Spreading the urban legend that doom assassins are OP in Holy War?

There are so many doom assassins in regular matches now.

You guys kept saying doom assassins are trash and not to play them in Holy War because they’re bad.

All Comments

I tried doom assassin on my alt because I heard so many good things, but it’s definitely an urban legend, so don’t do it.

Doom assassins are truly garbage.

Title: Seven’s performance has definitely declined

Author: Million

Lucky is visibly more cautious compared to when Seohee1 was there.

The newly joined knight and priest have terrible coordination.

It’ll be difficult for them to win this season.

Title: Live update on Seven Guild who made it to the finals

Author: nick

It seems like there’s still no guild that can challenge Seven?

All Comments

Honestly, Seven got a good bracket. All the currently strong guilds including Annihilation and Normal People went into Group B.

Now if Normal People makes it to the finals, they’ll face each other lol

Normal People advanced to the finals with a win-loss-win-win pattern.

How did this happen?

Normal People has really good team chemistry. Weren’t they formed just a month or two ago?

So the #1 guild on Lucy server is now either Seven or Normal People? Dead server;;

On the day of the grand finals between Normal People and Seven, an unusually large crowd gathered for the BioGod official online MuTube live broadcast. With fans of the MuTubers covering the match, people waiting for the Seven vs. Normal People game, and with Holy War enthusiasts all gathering, the viewership approached 10,000.

“Hello, Biz of God users. I’m Heo Jeong, a MuTuber who runs a BioGod strategy video channel and will be commentating on today’s match. Nice to meet you.”

“I’m Kim Daehyuk, a MuTuber who mainly uploads Biz of God gameplay videos. Nice to meet you!”

“Yes~ Nice to meet you. A lot of people have come to support the match today. The chat is scrolling incredibly fast.”

“Actually, even for final matches, we’ve only had live broadcasts before, and this is the first time we’ve had commentators, right? I think viewers might also be curious about that, which is probably why even more people have come to watch.”

There were two commentators in total: Heo Jeong, who had the largest channel among streamers mainly focusing on Biz of God, and Kim Daehyuk, known for his witty commentary and reactions that had earned him a core fan base.
