This was the result of the first day of the 3rd National Competition . As with previous years, the North American, European and East Asian countries were remarkable . Of course, this table was only temporary . There were still 18 events remaining today and tomorrow . New countries would emerge on the leaderboard . Last year’s number one, Russia was included .
『 Just like yesterday, there will be nine events held today . Six of those are team events . Today is the most important day out of the National Competition’s three days . 』
In order to win the team events, the team must have a wide variety of players . Countries with many outstanding athletes were more likely to win a team medal . The US, Canada, China, and Russia met these conditions . Other countries were significantly less likely to win medals at team events .
『 The countries that wins many medals in the team events out of the four major powers will be ranked first in the overall rankings . 』
『 Will Russian achieve first place for a second consecutive year? Will the United States regain its reputation after winning first at the 1st National Competition? Will Canada, which has always been a first place candidate, finally be different this year? Will China gain the honor of being the first Asian country to be ranked first? 』
『 The possibility of Russia getting first is very low . Alexander is outstanding and there are other great talents, but the team is much weaker than when they had Kraugel last year . 』
『 I agree . Russia’s goal is to reach the top 10 and get the country buff . If Russia’s strongest ranker Knight, who has been raising his reputation recently, participated, then there was a chance they could get first . 』
『 What about France, the third ranked country in the 1st National Competition? 』
『 Bondre, who lost his status since the collapse of the Seven Guilds, isn’t participating in the National Competition this year . France also has no hope . 』
In the end, it would be the trilogy of the US, Canada, and China . It was as everyone expected, causing the commentators to smile bitterly .
『 It’s sad that South Korea, which took second place in the 1st and 2nd National Competitions, isn’t being talked about at all . 』
『 The reason why South Korea was able to be placed high in the past National Competitions was because the number of events was small . On the other hand, this year’s National Competition has 27 events . Grid might win two gold medals alone, but it’s impossible for South Korea to be ranked as highly as before . Look . Today South Korea is only participating in two out of six group events . The players on the participating list are all obscure . 』
『 Based on the atmosphere, South Korea seems to have half given up already . 』
『 The attitude is like just participating in the National Competition is fine . 』
South Korea was a country shallow in players . There weren’t many notable players except for Grid and Yura .
『 Yura might win one more medal and Grid might win medals in the PvP and blacksmithing event tomorrow, but that’s it . 』
『 Frankly, I wonder if Grid can win a gold medal . The new rules for the blacksmithing event are disadvantageous to Grid . Then in PvP, Kraugel is standing in the way . 』
"They’re making too much noise . ”
The Korean team’s waiting room . Eat Spicy Jokbal was burning with enthusiasm as he prepared to take place in the subjugation expedition event . As a Korean person, he felt the desire to prove the commentators who undervalued South Korea were wrong .
"The commentator isn’t necessarily wrong . ”
The hanbok-clad woman Viola giggled . She had long eyes and a long chin, looking like a fox when she laughed .
“Is South Korea really weak?”
"That's right . South Korea is weak . ” Eat Spicy Jokbal nodded as if to agree with Viola’s words . “But only when we weren’t here . ”
A ranker’s official activities might bring wealth and fame, but there were also large constraints . That’s why Eat Spicy Jokbal, Viola, and Ma Bongshik had always been unofficial rankers . But now they decided to reveal themselves to the world . As long as they decided, they didn’t intend to do it roughly .
"Our appearance should be gorgeous . Just like a certain someone . ”
Eat Spicy Jokbal looked at Grid . Grid saw him and said easily, "Come back with gold . ”
“Okay . We will bring back two . ”
“ . . . ”
Eat Spicy Jokbal’s momentum! The other young Korean players didn’t know his identity and clicked their tongues . They were questioning why he was so confident . On the other hand, Grid’s expectations were high since he knew Eat Spicy Jokbal’s identity .
‘Blood Carnival’s master . ’
Eat Spicy Jokbal was a big person who created and operated the strongest and worst dark gamers group . Grid also acknowledged the power of his hidden class, Dungeon Maker . Grid and Peak Sword were sure that his appearance would bring a tremendous shock to the world .

[Eat Spicy Jokbal? The ID is real . ]
[Crazy! What is this? ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Wow, this name is more idiotic than childish . ]
[I guess he likes jokbal . ]
Subjugation expedition was an event that introduced PvP to the existing raid . Three countries participated in a raid at the same time, hunting the boss while keeping each other in check . The country that accumulated the most damage to the boss would be the champion .
The boss was a cockatrice . It was one level below the drake, the boss of the existing raid . If the raid target was too strong, the players would take a cooperative attitude instead of keeping each other in check . Thanks to this, the subjugation expedition event was expected to be much faster and more intense than a raid . This was the S . A . Group’s intention .
“Our first opponents are South Korea and Japan . We have good luck . ”
The participating countries in Group A were South Korea, Japan, and Russia . It was good luck for the Russian players . South Korea was weak apart from Grid and Yura . In fact, the Korean players participating in this event were completely unknown . Japan was no different . Damian and Katz weren’t participating in this event, only second level rankers .
On the other hand, Russia had Alexander . He was the strongest ranker in Russia after Knight, who had recently started to gain popularity . Last year, he acted with Kraugel to make Russia first in the overall rankings .
“Our goal is the gold medal . We have to get through this first game . ”
The results of the previous four group events made the development of the National Competition interesting . The United States didn’t win any gold medals, Canada won three gold medals and China won one gold medal . It meant the United States failed to be first . If Russia succeeded in winning gold in the remaining two team events, maybe Russia could be in the top position in the overall rankings The Russian players were motivated .
“Hey . ”
Three minutes before the boss emerged . Alexander glanced at his successor, Ikonikoski, now one of the leading rankers in Russia . Ikonikoski rushed to his side and answered vigorously .
Alexander ordered, "There is a high possibility that South Korea and Japan will feel a sense of crisis and ally with each other . We must aim for the Korean players at the start of the match . Don’t give them a chance to cooperate with Japan . ”
Ikonikoski’s abilities were equivalent to the former Alexander . It would be simple for him to get rid of three small fries alone . Ikonikoski replied confidently .
"Yep! I’ll get those yellow monkeys . . . ugh!”
Ikonikoski suddenly screamed . It was because Alexander hit the back of his head . Alexander warned him with a grim facial expression .
“Don’t be racist . ”
“Huh . . . ?”
Alexander was a notorious skinhead . Ikonikoski was stunned once he talked about racial discrimination . Alexander explained to him, "Kraugel is also Korean! You stupid bastard!”
“I-I’m really sorry!”
Many people didn’t know that Alexander was following Kraugel . Ikonikoski hadn’t known . He wasn’t able to understand the situation properly but had to respond like this . He was afraid of Alexander . Right as the Russian team were in turmoil .
"The first match opponents are too weak . ” Eat Spicy Jokbal on the South Korean team was unhappy . "Shouldn’t my debut appearance be at least the level of Kraugel?”
It was the exhibition he had thought hard about . Eat Spicy Jokbal wanted a gorgeous debut to the world . He wanted to imprint his presence on people . However, the Russian team were the first opponents . Ma Bongshik comforted him .
"Alexander is quite famous . It’s lucky that we’re matched against him . ”
"Hmm . . . it isn’t the worst . ”
Unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything . Eat Spicy Jokbal thought positively as he looked over the battlefield . Sand and dust blew through the steep canyon on the center of a wasteland and a cockatrice was on top .
'The key is the climb the canyon first . ’
The team that reached the cockatrice first could accumulate more damage . In the end, it would be a game of speed . It was a space where flying magic was blocked . Who could climb the high and steep canyon quickly?
‘In addition, the other players have to be kept in check . Well, it has nothing to do with me . ’
Eat Spicy Jokbal paid attention to the cave at the entrance of the canyon .
"It’s a good structure to summon a dungeon . ”
A Dungeon Maker became stronger when dungeons were created . It wasn’t just because of the rise in stats . He could also summon a dungeon that he created into a specific area . Eat Spicy Jokbal made a variety of dungeons and was able to cope flexibly in any situation as long as the terrain was suitable .
“Let’s go over there . ”
“Yes . ”
Viola and Ma Bongshik started to move according to Eat Spicy Jokbal’s basis . While the Russian and Japanese rankers moved towards the top of the canyon, they headed towards the cave at the entrance of the dungeon .
『…??? 』
『 What is this . . . ? . 』
Immediately after the subjugation expedition match between South Korea, Japan, and Russia started . The commentators who were sure that Russia would win were surprised . It was absurd that the Korean team members were hiding inside the cave instead of defeating the monsters .
『 It’s hard to see the actions as meaningful . They must be very nervous . 』
The commentators thought that the Korean players had panicked . They thought there was no possibility of winning and decided to ‘hide’ in the cave . They were stupid cowards . The Russian rankers thought the same .
"They’re worth half a penny . ”
Shake shake .
Alexander laughed . He was stunned that the Korean players hid out of fear .
"Ikonikoski, just ignore them . Move faster than the Japanese players . ”
"Yes!"
The Russian players moved in an orderly fashion . In the process of climbing the canyon, they narrowed the distance with the Japanese players . The cockatrice was pecking the sand on top of the canyon . It seemed that both the cockatrice and the Japanese players would be killed by the Russians . But it went differently from everyone’s expectations .
Kyao?
The cockatrice pecking at the sand suddenly looked down at the canyon . The sharp eyes were looking at the cave entrance where the Korean players were hiding .
Kyaooooh!
The cockatrice let out a loud sound . Its long legs stretched out . It ignored the Russian and Japanese players climbing the canyon and jumped down .
“What?”
The Russian and Japanese players were upset . When did it suddenly jump down when they had gone through so much effort? It was also where the Korean team was hiding!
"C-Chase it!”
Even if the Korean players were small fries, their levels were over 250 if they were participating in the National Competition . The three of them would be enough to catch the cockatrice . The Russian and Japanese rankers were nervous . But the canyon walls were too steep . They couldn’t catch up with the speed of the cockatrice . The cockatrice arrived in the cave where the South Korean players were hiding .
“Hey! This **** chicken head! Stand there!”
Why was it doing this? Why did it show such great interest in the cave? Alexander questioned it as he yelled at the cockatrice .
Tak!
The moment the cockatrice entered the cave .
“Chicken isn’t bad . ”
Sakak-!
Eat Spicy Jokbal’s sword cut at the cockatrice . It was the moment when dozens of cameras moved from the Russian participants to focus on Eat Spicy Jokbal .
