It was a hard-fought victory, but
Anyway, we won, right?

I can't believe they actually won.I thought they’d lose when both of them died.
└ You clearly lacked faith.Phantom was too slow at the end, that’s how they won.

Approached from above and strangled with the legs.
Disarmed the hand holding the gun, then sliced across the opposite shoulder.
Mangled the remaining arm while receiving cover fire from teammates.
Before ditching the gunslinger, I made sure to destroy his vocal cords.
He couldn’t even scream.

The cowboy and his bitch are riding high;
└ What?I don't get why they didn’t kill the gunslinger and just left him alive.How does Ga-wol know exactly where the vocal cords are?
└ She memorizes the carotid arteries, why not the vocal cords?
└ Ah, you're familiar with the bleeding assassin, huh? Haha.That scene where the gunslinger is desperately trying to call for backup was so intense.

At that moment, if Phantom had teamed up with Luche or Hekate, I think they could have won, but why was he just standing there?@@@@
Has he finally gone crazy after all these years?

For real, Phantom was too slow.

[Title: Did You Guys Watch Phantom’s Personal POV?]
(Attached Video: Something flashing in the dark)
Can you see anything?
I can’t see a thing.
That knight? It’s just a flashbang.
Every time he uses a skill, it flashes.
It’s hilarious. Seriously.

All I can hear is the sound, nothing visible.Hahaha, seriously.I can see the bullets flying though.The sigh sound in the middle was weird.
The knockout stage is a traditional tournament format.
The matches in the Round of 16 determine the scenario for the rest of the finals.
In other words, you can roughly estimate your entire bracket from here.
Still, I hope you go pro.You’re one of the people I really want to beat. So, let’s meet in the international matches.I’ll break you down. Just wait.
One of North America’s top teams.
A team with the world’s greatest assassin, and one of the strongest candidates for the title.
The notorious reputation Phantom had built in the IKL wasn’t a mere illusion.
In the previous match, Phantom had set a trap for Ga-wol.
Although he failed to take her down, it was clear that she had been pushed to the brink of death.
No matter how skilled Ga-wol was, she couldn’t just dive into the enemy lines carelessly.
Phantom’s position was different.
After several skirmishes, he came to a clear conclusion.
He could not afford to face Ga-wol purely on skill alone.
If he couldn’t win with technique, he would have to take a bolder approach.
Fortunately, luck was on his side.
The two teams came face to face in an unexpected location, and combat began immediately.
Despite the surprise, Hekate handled the situation cleanly.
But even pro gamers are human.
It’s impossible to maintain perfect vigilance in the midst of a sudden skirmish.
"V Nightmare Phantom has eliminated Sigma Hekate."
In the end, Phantom managed to score the first point.
Though Phantom had sustained damage, Hekate’s death remained unchanged.
Ga-wol fought back as best as he could, but the situation didn’t allow for much.
Once the kill log flashed, Nightmare’s rear defense went into full alert.
He pushed the gunslinger to the brink of death, but couldn’t finish him off.
Despite being in a near-perfect state, Sigma had lost their support.
The scars on Sigma were deep, but the gunslinger’s firepower was intact.
Of course, that was to be expected. Just because someone’s neck was bleeding doesn’t mean their gunfire weakens.
North American ranged dealers were used to situations like this.
"Sigma eSports players fought valiantly, but the game has shifted."
"Luche, who fought until the end, has fallen. Now, only Ga-wol remains."
"With so much health already drained, it looks impossible for Ga-wol to turn this around."
"Eventually, Ga-wol also falls... GG. The second set ends in a victory for Veiled Nightmare."
Traveler adjusted his jaw.
Ga-wol is a powerful assassin.
Unless it’s something like Kelberos, even knights are reluctant to face him.
But he is not invincible.
An assassin is a class with a high ceiling and immense value.
However, the high ceiling mostly refers to creating "variables."
A crack play that turns the tide when the team is in danger.
And the countermeasure to prevent the enemy from creating their own crack play.
No one disputes an assassin’s high ceiling.
But to say that they are powerful enough to single-handedly decide a game... that’s another matter.
And is such a crack play determined by just skill alone?
Variables include the situation, timing, and luck... a result of many complex factors.
If Phantom faced Kelberos alone, he would be defeated.
But the world recognizes Phantom and Kelberos as top-tier players.
So this means—
“Even against a player like Phantom... an assassin class wouldn’t be able to fully utilize their skills.”
The Dune Sentinels were weak in their main force and couldn’t exploit that weakness.
Veiled Nightmare was different.
From now on, teams that can challenge the limits of an assassin’s potential will begin to emerge.
Traveler smiled faintly.
The third match of the broadcast was about to begin.
