Punch (7)

MVP, as it stood for 'Most Valuable Player,' was meant to indicate the most valuable competitor. Yet, that 'value' differed for each person. As a result, neither the spectators at the venue nor the viewers all thought of the same individual. People flooded out of the limited chat rooms and gathered on the main Metal Punch community, the Metal Punch Meta.

[MVP—I'll decide for everyone, lol]

[For the female division, isn't it obviously Decibel?]

[No way, lol. You gotta pick LastNuna, what are you saying?]

[What's this? The female division MVP is up for debate?]

Everyone offered different opinions, but there was always a mainstream. The contenders for the female division MVP had been narrowed down to two. LastHitSooni and Decibel. Those supporting each gave their own reasons.

[Honestly, if LastNuna hadn't gotten two wins early on, the team would've gone down, right?]

[LITERALLY, lol. LastNuna left only Mom Queen and won, that's a fact.]

[Decibel played well too, but honestly, lastNuna's role was really important.]

Supporters of LastHitSooni emphasized that she had laid the foundation for victory. Still, those backing Decibel were not easily convinced.

[Wait, lol, did you even watch the same tournament?]

[If you lose in the last match, it's over, so what's this about 'foundations,' LOL]

[Honestly, can you even compare the effort a career fighting gamer like LastNuna put in to Decibel, who was a newbie?]

[I'm serious, lol. If Deci went all out, she went HARD.]

Supporters of Decibel argued for her effort and the importance of the final match.

[Ah, lol. Look at these fighting game noobs, lol. You don't know what a team match is?]

[Honestly, all Decibel did was practice Severus!]

[If LastNuna hadn't gotten those two wins, we might've lost before facing Mom Queen, I'm telling you.]

[That's just too right, isn't it?]

Minority opinions got persuaded, strengthening both sides' arguments.

[No, damn, I admit LastNuna played well, but that's not all, lol]

[One win from her would have been enough, lol]

[Don't underestimate Hayeoja, lol]

[Hayeoja looked like she got stomped by Mom Queen, but she totally owned Dureon Dureon]

[LITERALLY, lol. Only Decibel could've taken down Mom Queen]

Neither side was without basis. Thus, there was no single consensus.

[Ah, damn, looking at the community makes it harder to pick]

[Just vote for whoever you think is MVP, it's not that deep, lol]

[LITERALLY, lol. Vote for the MVP as you see fit]

Surprisingly, the situation for the men's division wasn't much different from the women's. In fact, opinions were even more split.

[Come on;;; it's gotta be Godple, right?]

[How could you pick anyone other than Godple in the men's division?]

[No way, ecl is a good pick too, lol]

[That miraculous chivalry alone qualifies him, I'm telling you]

Mainstream opinion, as expected, rallied around Lee Gyeongbok. But the Eclipse supporters were not few.

[Ecl's a newbie too, but he got two clean wins!]

[Honestly, he performed so much better than expected, lol]

[Convincing Godple to play fair was so cool, wasn't it, lol]

[Plus he gracefully conceded to Shoulder]

[LITERALLY, lol. If Ecl hadn't conceded, the last match wouldn't have been nearly as epic]

Eclipse's contributions in the men's division were significant. The majority acknowledged that. Still, there were reasons for not backing down.

[But even practically, ecl gained so much out of this]

[With this prize distribution system, ecl actually got more money than Godple, lol]

[If you look at the quality, the last match was overwhelming!]

[Not that Ecl didn't play well, but it's Godple who's getting shortchanged—he should get the MVP]

Due to the tournament rules, the prize money was given more to Eclipse, who had won two matches, than to Lee Gyeongbok, who won the final match. People argued it would be right to give the MVP and a bigger cash prize to Lee Gyeongbok, who'd just played a legendary match.

But this logic brought forth another contender.

[Well, if you look at it that way, shouldn't Shoulder get it too?]

[LITERALLY, lol. Even just looking at gameplay, he's not lacking]

[If you look at the situation, shoulder actually ends up in the minus;;]

[Yeah, the MVP prize money came out of Shoulder's own pocket!]

[He planned and ran this whole tourney and even ended up losing out...]

[Wow, you're right? Shoulder was the real hero who lost gallantly?]

[Seriously, god-dad only thinks of the fighting game sceneㅠㅠ]

The tournament had been record-breaking, but ironically, nothing returned to Shoulder, who organized it to begin with. Even the MVP prize awarded would put him in the negative—it came from his own funds.

[The men's division is harder to pick than the women's;;]

[Wasn't this the community that mostly just looked for 10-to-win sets?]

[There's been a real influx, lol]

[Whoa, damn, really no clue who'll get MVP]

Time was limited, and opinions remained divided. In the end, until the direct results came in, no one could be sure.

* * *

After the break, the final award ceremony began.

Jung Soyoon and the commentators greeted the camera and took up their mics.

"Wow, I took a spin through the community during the break, you know? I was really surprised."

"Oh, what were people talking about?"

Genome set the topic, and Jung Soyoon responded.

"The MVP voting is strictly anonymous, right? So, naturally, I got curious! But no matter how much I looked at the community, there was no clear frontrunner!"

"Oh, absolutely. Right to the very end, you just can't let your guard down, and it really shows that our viewers have a fighting gamer's spark!"

Willitwork? picked up the conversation, and Jung Soyoon laughed.

"Yes, that's right! The MVP announcement will only happen after the prizes have all been awarded! It's the very last thing! So please stick with us to the end!"

― King of teasers! Gotta keep us watching, huh!

― LMAO, now that's a real fighting game stream

― MVP? Who even knows!

― C'mon, I'm going dizzy, just hurry up and tell us!

― Why would you get dizzy over this, lol

Viewers, too, laughed and buzzed with anticipation. Jung Soyoon, satisfied with the chat's reactions, cleared her throat.

"Alright, let's proceed with the award for the women's division championship team!"

With her cue, the camera swung to the stage. Bathed in light, the three female Try team players appeared.

"The winning team for the women's division! Try's LastHitSooni, ha Soyeon, and Decibel! Please give them a warm round of applause!"

Cheers and applause erupted from the audience. Next, the inverted pyramid-shaped display split open, and a golden trophy slowly descended.

"The three of you will share a prize of 10 million won—split based on the number of rounds you won. But there's also a surprise benefit!"

With those words, both players and viewers were caught off guard. Another benefit besides the cash prize? Genome added, voice tinged with amusement.

"The players on stage aren't just competitors—they're the official 'representatives' of the platform, aren't they?"

"That's right! And you thought 'representative' was just a title? Nope! These three will each get an official 'representative' badge in front of their account!"

Each of them widened their eyes and opened their mouths in surprise—this had truly been a secret surprise from the platform.

― Wow, verified!

― LMAO, they really didn't know, did they?

― The Verification Association is super sensitive about this stuff, lol

― Can't resist an official verification, lol

― Is this a hint at another platform battle in the future?

― Yeah, lol, using a badge like that just once would be a waste!

― So, a second platform battle confirmed?

― Honestly, with this kind of hype, doing it just once would be a waste, lol

Viewers were delighted and amazed alike. The platform clearly hadn't made such a badge for a one-off event. In other words, there was a chance for another platform battle, even with different games.

"The trophy's down! Please grab it!"

The trophy had stopped in front of the players. Still a bit stunned from the badge announcement, the three at last came to their senses. Decibel, being the youngest, tried to quietly step aside—

"Where are you going, Decibel?"

"Come on, Decibel, you need to stand in the center."

"Eh? Me?"

The others gently tugged her into the center. Though her eyes grew wide, she smiled when she saw their encouraging expressions.

"Let's all grab it together!"

The three lifted the trophy up high together. Again, cheers and applause burst from the stands.

"Ah! What a lovely sight! And now it's time for the photo op!"

Jung Soyoon, thoroughly pleased, made her remarks. The drone camera fired off flashes in front of them.

"Take turns! Take turns!"

"Oh shoot, I think I blinked!"

"Come on, soyeon! Open your eyes wide like me!"

With Decibel urging them, the other two also took turns grabbing the trophy in the center. Laughter filled the air at the cheerful scene.

"Okay. Ladies, please step aside for now. Next is the men's award!"

As the three retreated holding the trophy, the men's competitors stepped forward.

"The winning benefit is the same as before! These gentlemen also get the official Try platform 'representative' badge!"

Because the news had already broken, they weren't surprised, just happy as the trophy was lowered.

― LMAO, try's representative lineup is so reassuring

― So glad Godple started his stream on Tryㅠㅠ

― Honestly, if Godple had started on Serengeti, he'd have switched platforms, lol

― Right, totally!

― Can't live without Purple withdrawal, lol

Viewers felt a surge of pride seeing the badge attached to Lee Gyeongbok's account. Meanwhile, skullkim and Eclipse took up positions at his side as if on cue. Lee Gyeongbok looked at them in surprise, but both shook their heads resolutely.

― LMAO, clear chain of command, right?

― It's common sense the CEO stands in the center at events, right?

― If you've got any sense, move to the side!

― How to survive Black Company... making notes...

― Isn't this more like ignoring the boss?

― The common sense is not listening to the boss, lol

― LOL, what kind of company is that!

Playful teasing filled the chat, and Genome also joined in.

"Actually, I was supposed to take Skullkim's spot in the picture. Tsk tsk, are interns supposed to be in these shots?"

― Can't help but tease!

― LMAO, what's with the lowly staff hogging the spotlight?

― The boomer schtick, lol

― Not Chu-dude, but Boomer-dude!

― Boomer-dude (for real)

― Hyung? You know this is a live broadcast, right?

― Wait, does this get translated globally too, lol

― How are you becoming Global Chu-dude!

As viewers trolled, the trophy arrived. When Lee Gyeongbok raised it high, the cheers in the stadium soared.

"PerG-Day is the best!"

"Godple! Godple! Godple!"

Then Skullkim and Eclipse exchanged a glance and, like a victory chair, lifted Lee Gyeongbok up on their shoulders.

"Ah! Is this the Black Company style awards ceremony!? The other two are voluntarily hoisting up Purple!"

Jung Soyoon read the mood. Surprised at first, Lee Gyeongbok raised the trophy even higher. Camera flashes popped, and his bright smile was projected across the arena.

"Ah, what a great sight! Let's wrap up this group shot with the champions!"

With that, all of Try team lined up together. Everyone in the frame was smiling.

* * *

After the photo shoot, it was at last time to select the MVPs.

"Now, we can't just pick the MVPs the regular way, right?"

"Of course not! It's the platform battle—just 'so-and-so is the MVP!'—that wouldn't be right."

"In true Metal Punch fashion, the organizers prepared something special! Let's check it out!"

As Jung Soyoon and the commentators finished, the scoreboard whirred with a kuboong sound. As the audience rumbled, the formerly inverted pyramid display unfolded into a massive cube. On-screen appeared all six female division competitors, each with a red health bar.

"There it is! The players' health bars are all dangerously low—a single hit could KO them!"

"But now, it isn't just health—it's vote percentages! Your votes give them strength!"

"Yes, exactly! And the '100' in the center? That's the percentage of votes still uncounted!"

"Right! Let's get straight to the results!"

With that, the health bars began to change.

― LMAO, what's with this presentation, lol

― That vote effect is literally the same as the combo effect, right?

― True fighting game concept, lol

― Does the lowest vote-getter get KO'd?

― It does hit different with the platform representatives, lol

The commentators hyped things up, and the viewers responded right away.

"Oh! The Serengeti team have all been eliminated! That means the MVP will be one of Try's players."

"Looks like Ha Soyeon is falling behind!"

"Oh! Less than half the votes are left uncounted—Ha Soyeon might not make it!"

After the Serengeti players, ha Soyeon's health turned gray and froze. Only two remained: LastHitSooni and Decibel.

"Now! Who will be the MVP of the women's division?"

"They're both rapidly gaining! It's truly impossible to say!"

"Only 19% of votes left! It's so close!"

― Wow; why am I so nervous?

― How can it be this close!?

― Let's go, deci-nuna!

― I'm telling you, lastNuna deserves it, lol!

In the final stages, with just 7% of votes left, something changed.

"Huh? Wait! LastHitSooni is slowing down! Decibel is pulling ahead!"

"Decibel's got momentum! Is this a last-minute turn-around!?"

"Ah! Decibel! It's Decibel! With 50.3%, Decibel is the MVP!"

Jung Soyoon's voice rang out as the spotlight hit Decibel with a dramatic whomp.

― Wow, deci-nuna got it!

― She totally deserved it, lol

― Literally, all the hard work with Godple in their collab, it paid off

― Definitely kept practicing after the broadcast went off, lol

― That hit she landed—a real back-from, wow!

On the close-up, Decibel's face showed disbelief.

"Congratulations, Decibel!"

"See! I told you you'd get it!"

"Wow, congrats!"

"Congratulations!"

"I'm so happy for you."

As the others congratulated her, Decibel composed herself.

'Really? I got selected as MVP...?'

She was overwrought, her throat tight, but at least she had a moment to gather herself.

"The choice of the live and online audiences! The women's MVP is Decibel! We'll save her acceptance speech for the end! Moving along to the men's MVP!"

The display switched to the men's contestants. Everyone's attention turned.

― This really is tough.

― Godple, shoulder, and Ecl—what a lineup

― These nominees are all so deserving.

― If you're Korean, you picked Godple, lol

― If you're a fighting gamer, you picked Shoulder, lol

― As a Korean or as a fighting gamer... tough call!

Everyone, even Decibel who was still stunned, turned to the scoreboard. As the percentage uncounted dropped, the results began.

"Oh, skullkim is the first to be eliminated!"

"Genome, you sound way too happy!"

"Do I? Of course not! Just a misunderstanding!"

Skullkim was the first out. Genome's eager tone got a laugh from chat.

― C'mon, stop being jealous of the intern!

― Hyung, maybe you should've joined the tournament, lol

― If you did, you'd get wrecked, lol

― But at least he won the biased commentary?

― Skullkim's real contribution was his banter, wasn't it?

― LMAO, skullkim wasn't about highlights, just bone fracture jokes

Next, daedam and KimKimKim from Serengeti dropped out. As expected by the audience, the three-way showdown began.

"Oh! Eclipse is falling behind the other two!"

"He's probably out of the running— that last game was just overwhelming, wasn't it!?"

"Yes, during the break they showed highlights, and the last match was pretty much all highlight!"

Everyone agreed with Willitwork?'s comment.

As it was the last match, there hadn't been time to edit, but every moment had been highlight-worthy.

"Ah! Eclipse is out with 11.2% of the vote!"

"Frankly, that vote share is a feat! The other three didn't get even 1% each!"

"To the very end, the MVP comes down to a 1:1—who will it be?"

The uncounted percentage dropped rapidly, but the result was still too close. Votes for each soared back and forth.

"Ah! Only 5% left! It's so close! The viewers' struggle really shows in the vote!"

"But in the end, there will be a winner! In a match between masters, it's always by a hair!"

Just as Genome said, the outcome came right at the end.

"Wow! Pulled ahead by just 2%, 2%!"

"Wow, even the MVP is decided by the narrowest of margins! My hands are sweating!"

"Until the very last moment you couldn't relax!"

The men's MVP.

And that answer was—

"Purple takes MVP with 45.9% of the votes!"

With Jung Soyoon's announcement, the spotlight hit Lee Gyeongbok.

He looked surprised at first, but then broke into a broad smile, waving confidently.

― Wow! MVP!

― Wow, that came down to the wire

― Knew it! (wiping sweat)

― Of course Godple had to win, lol

― Honestly, shoulder deserved it, but without Godple there'd have been no tournament at all

― LMAO, the platform collab was all Godple's doing

― The P in MVP is for Purple, obviously

― LMAO, most Valuable Purple, that's a fact

― Godple really was the most valuable, lol

Chat exploded at his reaction.

"Godple! Godple! Godple!"

"He slayed it!!"

The crowd chanted his name. The volume in the stadium rose on its own—with no need for Jung Soyoon's prompting.

"Both the women's and men's MVPs ended up being Try team players! Those at Try ought to make this a commemorative day."

"Of course! It's PerG-Day!"

Genome grinned. Jung Soyoon cleared her throat lightly and continued.

"All right. Time for acceptance speeches from our MVPs! Let's hear their thoughts!"

Jung Soyoon stepped to the stage. All others but Decibel and Lee Gyeongbok applauded and tactfully stepped back.

"First, Decibel! You've been picked as women's MVP. Any words?"

"Ah, yes."

Nervous, Decibel licked her dry lips and glanced at Lee Gyeongbok at her side.

He smiled at her, and when their eyes met, he nodded encouragement.

'It's a hard-won opportunity. Don't waste it...!'

Thanks to Lee Gyeongbok's support, she felt steadied just by him being nearby. She collected herself and gripped the mic.

"I was honestly anxious and uncertain about joining this tournament. But thanks to everyone's support, I made it this far."

She tried to speak calmly, and turned to look at Lee Gyeongbok.

"I especially want to thank Purple, who personally advised and taught me. And..."

She shifted her gaze to the audience.

"I gained a lot of courage through this tournament. I'll show you many more sides of myself moving forward!"

She paused, took a breath, and raised her voice.

"I'll make the world noisy!"

Her cry was met by a wave of cheers from the audience.

"Wonderful! Decibel is known as a rhythm game expert, but now she's discovered a whole new talent! These skills shouldn't be restricted to just rhythm games!"

― Anyone can see she leveled up in record time, lol

― Rhythm games are just one of Deci-nuna's many talents, I'm telling you

― Honestly, godple's coaching was next level, but you can't keep up without natural ability, lol

― That's what you call perfect synergy, I'm telling you

The chat overflowed with praise.

"As you said, we look forward to seeing you in many different fields! Now let's move to the men's MVP—Purple, your thoughts?"

Jung Soyoon gave the cue. Lee Gyeongbok calmly cleared his throat and took the mic.

"To be honest, I don't have much to add. I pretty much said it all in the winner's interview."

He gazed out over the stadium.

"So what I can offer, right now, is simply gratitude."

He made eye contact with the cheering Try fans and Serengeti fans alike.

"To those who made this event happen, to those who took part, and finally, to everyone who watched and supported us—my deepest thanks."

He bowed his head lightly, then broke into another bright smile.

"I hope there will be even more opportunities like this! Thank you!"

The straightforward speech was met with applause, both live and in the chat full of clapping emotes.

― That composure—that's the true Dignity of the King, I'm telling you

― I want more chances like this"—is he hinting at sweeping all tournaments?

― I'll only receive prize money if you run more events for me!"

― If you don't offer up the prize willingly, there may be bloodshed."

― Wait!? Why would there be bloodshed after giving a prize!?

― LMAO, hasn't Shoulder already done that??

― Upgrading the Conqueror achievement, lol

Jung Soyoon wrapped things up with a smile.

"What a simple, honest speech. Congratulations to you both again!"

She then returned to the main host spot.

"With that, the entire schedule for our platform showdown, 'Let's Go Set-To!,' has come to an end. Unfortunately, it's time to bring down the curtain."

"Yes, it's such a shame!"

"I can hardly believe it's already over."

As the commentators shared their regret, Jung Soyoon lifted her voice again.

"But, just as Purple said, this won't be the last chance! Thank you for watching, and we hope to see you at another great event next time! This is where we say goodbye!"

"Thank you for watching!"

"We will take our leave!"

With the closing comments, the stadium rang out once more with applause and cheers.

But soon after, the screen went black and the stream ended.

― It's over? Impossible!

― Is such a thing even possible!?"

― Wow, that was insanely fun, lol

― Shouldn't these platform battles be an annual event?

― Annual is too seldom! Let's do it quarterly!

― Platforms, you're actually good at this when you try!

Even in the blackness, viewer numbers dropped only a little. They kept up the chat, caught between regret and afterglow.

― All right, can't help it. Time to binge King again!

― Will the edited highlights be uploaded to Try's official channel?

― Probably?

― Hey, try staff? Please post the highlights ASAP!

Suddenly, reports popped up in chat.

― Whoa, lol, there's already a video on Purple channel!

-????

― Already?

― Huh? The official hasn't even posted yet!

― It went up the moment the show ended?

The chat was full of question marks. How could an unofficial video go up faster than the official channel?

But further reports clarified things.

― Crazy, it's real?

― Whoa, lol, it's a fan-cam!

― A fan-cam!?

Turns out the video was filmed in fan-cam style.

― LMAO, posting a fan-cam for this, genius!

― Is the Purple channel editor a genius?!

― Can't resist a fan-cam!

― LOL, I wanted to see what cheering looked like live

― Everyone, please stay here. I want to watch it alone...

That alone was enough to send the viewers scrambling.
